China Restaurant Orchidee in Göttingen

Today was fantastic again. We always go there.

delicious food, large selection and very good price/performance ratio. Highly recommended

The service was friendly, reserved but quick. The buffet was generously laid out, there was no shortage of pots. The dishes such as duck, baked chicken, spring rolls etc were too cold. The soup is very weak and needs to be seasoned a lot more. The food in the sauces wasn't very tasty either. (In the "Eight Delicacies" I could only find four at most....) The shrimps had been in the container for a long time... The dessert buffet was clear, the fruit wasn't fresh! Overall, loveless and average at best.

Nice, attentive employees. Buffet tasted good, very pleasant cleanliness.

Yesterday I ordered a portion for the lunch buffet via the app to go for €5. I ate it a little later and then I immediately felt sick and sick and my stomach has been really queasy since this morning. I will never come back. The food doesn't taste good at all

The dining environment is quite clean and enjoyable，service is particular nice and kind, and there are many varieties of food.My favorite is their grilled shrimp and lamb chops, which are highly recommended.

Once upon a time I ordered a delivery, then it is on my block list forever.

Absolutely friendly team, clean, tasty, highly recommended!

Super nice, lots of space and a huge buffet with something for everyone. A dream for children with a chocolate fountain, various ice cream flavors, including a soft ice cream machine and toppings.

Very cheap option for lunch. Feedback from an Asian colleague: “It tastes great!” Buffet. Good selection, clean buffet, soft ice cream machine, cake counter, chocolate fountain. WiFi on request. Restaurant is clean, subtle background music. Fast and friendly service.

We recently had dinner for two and we didn't like it at all. The selection was very small for the price of €22.90. The food was somehow completely unseasoned, it really didn't taste like anything. The sweet and sour had a tiny hint of sweetness, but otherwise it didn't taste like anything. The noodles were bland rather than tasty, as were the vegetables. I didn't eat the fresh food, so unfortunately I can't rate it.

Food was from toogood togo for 5 euros for lunch It was ok, just the cheapest food, like rice and fried tk things with a few vegetables (but very little of each) I would have liked more, but I'm so far satisfied I had more expectations

I hope can have more kinds of seafoods and desert.

We are shocked because we have never experienced anything like this. Stomach pain..and even broken..the food was cold and anything but fresh. We paid 72 euros for dinner buffet for 2 adults and 1 child. Everyone had 1 drink. When we went out, we asked ourselves how we could pay so much money for such miserable food. Tipping was more or less almost forced on my husband with repeated requests. We are not the people who cause stress on site. Now that my son has even vomited several times, I regret that we stayed there. Dear owners, you can't continue selling stale, spoiled food to your customers for outrageous prices. How long has the cake been in the counter please? Think seriously about what you are actually doing. I'm horrified.

Eigentlich war das Essen sobst immer ok. Heute jedoch sehr enttäuschend weniger Auswahl, kein Lamm, kein Schweinefleisch, frühlingsrollen müssen wir zurückgeben waren schlecht und ungenießbar. Wurde ohne Kommentar aus dem Buffet geräumt. Leider hat das Restaurant sehr nachgelassen 😐Service war gut

I ordered for pickup. I can't complain about the service, it was friendly. But the food doesn't taste good at all. So not at all. The sweet and sour sauce was just sauce, without any vegetables or pineapple pieces or anything else, and only tasted sweet. I paid 11.50 euros for rice with crispy chicken and sauce that resembled liquid ketchup. I won't do it again. I get the impression that if you order and pick up, you're getting yesterday's leftovers, whereas you might actually get good food when you get there. But I wouldn't risk eating there.

Top loading.... The buffet is definitely worth it...

I like the restaurant The food is always very tasty, with a few exceptions that the employees can't completely prevent, such as cartilage, etc The staff is always friendly, although I have to say there could be more than two waiters present, which would, among other things, shorten the waiting time and you wouldn't have to wait 20 minutes until you can finally pay Otherwise everything was excellent and I would like to come back

It was very warm in the restaurant and the existing air conditioning was off. That's what fans are there for, but they were also switched off. We were quickly assigned a table, but it took a while before we could order our drinks. The food was very tasty and apart from the sushi, everything was always refilled. The rice from the sushi was still a bit hard. A very good price-performance ratio and if we weren't just passing through, we would come back. Edit 2024: We were there several times this year and we are surprised at what can change in a year. Food was tasteless and not very seasoned. The Peking soup was spoiled and many types of fruit were also bad. Fruit flies flew out of the spring onions. That doesn't work at all! It was also very, very warm in the restaurant again.

Tasteless food. Don't know if it's because the Germans don't like spicy food or if it's just this restaurant. All sauces taste more water than they actually said they were. The orange chicken was soggy and tasteless. The only positive is that there was soft ice cream.

I ordered something to pick up there. When I handed over the receipt I was asked what I wanted to pay. When I didn't tip, the food wasn't handed to me and I had to ask where it was. The waiter was quite unfriendly. To make matters worse, the food also tasted sour. I think it wasn't quite good anymore. I would never eat there again and cannot recommend it.

Miserable. 1. The food is inedible. 2. I was also almost forced to give a tip when I picked it up. 3. The staff is very rude. 4. Conclusion: Not recommended!

We can only recommend this restaurant

Very friendly and courteous staff, as well as excellent food. Always my pleasure

Diese Restaurant ist absolut nicht empfehlenswert. Wir waren mit unserer Familie (16 Personen) zum Abendessen (Geburtstagsessen) dort. Es fing damit an, dass mein Mann und ich à la carte bestellt haben. Bei Aufnahme der Bestellung fiel mir der Kellner ins Wort (ich hatte den Wunsch geäußert, satt Hähnchen lieber gebackenes Hähnchen zu bekommen). Er sagte: „Nein das geht nicht“!! Gerichte können nicht abgeändert werden!!! Er verlies das Gespräch. Kurze Zeit später kehrte er zurück um die Getränke aufzunehmen. (Die Reihenfolge ist auch absolut unüblich). Ich bat nochmals freundlich um Änderung meiner Bestellung. Daraufhin brüllte er mich an: „Nur Getränke“!!!!!!! Ich war wirklich entsetzt und bestellte fassungslos mein Getränk. Mir war eher danach direkt zu gehen…. So etwas habe ich noch nie zuvor erlebt…. Meine Bestellung wurde mir dann zwar kommentarlos wunschgemäß in einzelnen Bruchteilen reserviert, jedoch fehlte Besteck und eine Serviette. Das Essen schmeckte gut, jedoch war der Reis matschig. Für mich stand fest, so wie dort mit Kunden umgegangen wird, wird dieses Restaurant uns kein weiteres Mal sehen. Nach all dem, wie wir dort behandelt worden sind gab es natürlich keinen Cent Trinkgeld. Zudem gab es bei dem Bezahlen noch Diskussionen, weil ein Familienmitglied nur etwas getrunken hatte und das ohne es vor dem Besuch dem Kellner mitzuteilen. Nach der Bezahlung ging der Kellner einfach, ohne sich zu verabschieden. Jeder kann sich ca. ausrechnen, welch hohen Betrag wir dort für 16 Personen bezahlt haben. Nie wieder!!!! Bitte suchen Sie sich ein anderes Restaurant. Zusammengefasst: - Kellner unfreundlich, patzig. - Nicht Kundenorientiert - Kein Besteck vorbereitet - Teller nicht abgeräumt - 1x nach weiteren Getränken gefragt (obwohl wir knapp 2 Std vor Ort waren).

We picked up food through To good to go, we sat and waited and a man packed the food. Everything was packed, mostly things we don't like. Food was really bad and it smelled. To make matters worse, there was eggshell in the food. Even €10 was too much. Disgusting. Now we have a stomach ache and have thrown away the food because it has lost our appetite even more than the smell.

Awesome very tasty food great service

Unfortunately I didn't find the food very tasty. The sushi was already half dried and didn't taste good, the fish was very watery 😕. Not much choice of fruit or other dishes.

Dinner with 6 people, everyone was satisfied.

Were there 45 minutes before the buffet ended. The selection wasn't that big anymore, but it was absolutely enough to fill you up. There were enough parking spaces. The toilets were very clean.

Nice restaurant... large... buffet is very clearly arranged and plentiful... always well refilled...

We were there for lunch. The buffet was stocked with a variety of warm specialties, a large salad buffet, as well as sushi variations and desserts. Everything was very tasty and the staff was very nice and accommodating! Everything fine.

The food was very good. However, we couldn't see on the internet or on the menu that was available outside that there was only a buffet. We didn't mind, other guests left again. For us it was worth the price and we would come again.

We chose buffet, it suits our taste very well. The selection is varied and delicious.

It's a nice quiet place to enjoy, no mass processing (like other buffet meals) Nice staff, food is delicious (bought) but normal for the prices. Ice cream tasted good and was completely ok for the price. Would go back at any time as you can relax and enjoy.

Stayed nearby and was recommended to us for lunch. Never had such a bad meal at a Chinese restaurant. The best thing was that they asked for a tip when paying.

Landed here by chance through Google Maps. We did not regret it. The food was absolutely delicious and seasoned a little differently than at our previous Chinese restaurants - but totally delicious. We are glad we were able to try the delicious buffet here today. Thank you for the nice management and the fantastic food! WE WILL BE BACK!!

Everything was very tasty again. But what was missing was the great, firm, plain white rice! But there was rice with chicken and egg. The delicious blue marshmallow ice cream was also missing... But big extra praise for the always delicious soup!!!! We'd love to come back!!

A rich buffet, a bit of everything, including sushi. However, the food could be a little warmer. The price-performance ratio is therefore appropriate.

What attracted us to the restaurant was the ambience. That was the only good thing about the shop... We weren't asked if we wanted to eat a la carte but were asked straight away to go to the "buffet". Mozzarella that was so hard that it squeaked like an eraser on your teeth and dried tomatoes awaited us... Anyone who is used to good food should avoid this shop! It wasn't worth the money at all! The waiter even asks you about the lack of a tip... really an impertinence. Never again !!!!!

Very tasty and a nice varied buffet with a huge selection of soup, dishes, salads, desserts, cakes, tarts, ice cream, sushi and fresh meat and raw fish

Never again Staff are not that friendly

The Chinese food is very well done and tastes good. This is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten abroad.

The food from any frozen food counter is better. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I wanted to leave straight away (which I only didn't do because I had an appointment with a group) because it smelled like stale fish. My orange juice was stale and tasted like a refrigerator (so it was probably left there open for a long time), the food was edible, but nothing more. The mushrooms in my à la carte dish were tough as leather (probably dried and then not soaked in water long enough), the bamboo pods were canned and covered with a typical thickened glutamate sauce. Basically the same as you would expect from many of these lower category all you can eat Chinese restaurants. Has anyone ever wondered why you never see Chinese people eating in restaurants like this? And how is the so often praised “huge selection” of fresh products supposed to work? A discounter's own brand Bami Goreng for under €3/750g from the freezer definitely tastes fresher. It's a mystery to me why people go out to eat there and then praise it. Probably just because of the sheer amount you can eat at such a buffet. Incidentally, not well suited for vegetarians and vegans. There are 4 vegetarian dishes on the menu, which are anything but particularly appealing. Otherwise you are surrounded by the cheapest meat from frogs, zebras, pigs, beef etc...

We have been visiting this restaurant for years and it is always delicious!! Staff very attentive and we always feel very comfortable.

Ate the evening buffet. Totally worthless, cold food, chewy chicken, sour ice cream, rude staff, had to pay extra because the food was inedible and needed to be thrown away. We were tourists having dinner, no language skills from staff and no information about food waste, only a note on the table that said in German, bad for tourists! Angry man came and said we had to pay extra because we didn't want to eat their ice cold old food. Really bad place, never again!

For the amount paid you get a very small selection of dishes, some of them are overcooked, others are bland and not very tasty. Seafood is in a kind of slime. the service is very unprivileged and very rude in answering the phone call. the plates were dirty and a few tiny mosquitoes flew over the salmon sushi. the rice was 100% stale and very tasteless.

There was only a buffet for 22.50 euros, nothing from the menu. impertinence. Why does the man use the first name of me in his answer? I don't need to lie. It was Monday May 13th around 7:30 p.m. and there was only a buffet. We left again.

First of all... I can't understand the good reviews... Went there for the lunch buffet... There was enough choice... Soup fried noodles rice beef duck pork chicken 3 sauces... chocolate fountain with fruits ice cream soft ice cream cake jelly pudding... Salads vegetables warm and cold... Sushi... So something for every taste... The taste was ok but I'm used to better... Quality was sufficient... Definitely not again... But at least the service was always attentive and friendly... All in all I would say there is better Chinese food in Göttingen...

The fresh meat that could be fried was spoiled for the second time. I didn't even want to try the fish. Very sharp smell and that's exactly how it tastes/doesn't taste.... Unfortunately I've already lost my appetite.

Lunch buffet during the week, 2 adults: friendly welcome and service. Delicious food, a wide range of options, everything very tasty and of great quality. Our highlight at the end was the soft ice cream from the machine - delicious! Unreservedly recommended!

No complaints. Everything okay.

Super great restaurant. Many options. Exactly my taste. We recommend

Delicious food at good prices. The buffet is definitely worth it.

The quality of the food has deteriorated. The food got cold very quickly on barely warmed plates. The waiter's grumpiness didn't make it any better.

For us one of the best Chinese in Göttingen. Great atmosphere, delicious food... again at any time

Things were better here: the buffet price was significantly increased. But not the quality and presentation of the food. The food got cold very quickly on barely warmed plates. The waiter's grumpiness didn't make it any better!

Have eaten there several times and have always been satisfied. Service is great, the employees are nice and clear the plates after every course. The food tastes good & is always warm/fresh.

After the restaurant tried to have my review deleted, I have already done so myself and am writing a new review. Food tastes very bland, hardly seasoned and sometimes cold. Poor quality. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired. Very loud in the restaurant. Everything looks like a bad factory canteen. The whole restaurant also doesn't seem particularly clean. The brief contact with the staff was friendly and there was nothing wrong with that. We didn't like it at all. A lot has to happen for us to visit it again.

We have always been very satisfied with the buffet so far. The service made us wait a very long time for the drinks and rarely came around. But always very friendly and helpful. I even got a little something from the house for my birthday. We'd love to come back. However, getting a parking space is a matter of luck.

The lunch buffet was sufficient, the staff was very friendly.

The food was excellent and it was very good

Buffet restaurant, tasted good, we were in the restaurant around 8 p.m. - there was only a small selection left - unfortunately it was hardly refilled.

An der Frischetheke lagen tiefgefrorene Frösche. Matschig Ente Erdnusssauße: Geschmacksrichtung irgendwas. Und so ging die Kulinarische Reise weiter....

Sehr lecker, außergewöhnliche speisen.tolles Ambiente. Gerne wieder.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden, Essen war lecker, die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und die Getränke wurden schnell gebracht. Wir gehen mal wieder hin.

Das war das schlechteste Buffet, was mein Mann und ich je gegessen haben. Der Kellner (sehr ungepflegt )ging ab und zu mal mit schlürfendem Gang an uns vorbei, das Buffet wurde nicht nachgefüllt, war nur lauwarm und geschmacklich so schrecklich, dass wir nach ca 25 Minuten das Restaurant verlassen haben. Die Auswahl war noch dazu sehr gering. Direkt neben unserem Tisch war die Decke nass und hatte Löcher. Definitiv nie wieder. Schade das mindestens 1 Stern vergeben werden muss.

Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Essen lecker und vielfältig. Frischebuffet top.

Ein sehr vielfältiges Buffet mit außergewöhnlichen Zutaten

... leider darf man wohl nicht seine Meinung schreiben...

这家餐厅的服务人员很差，长象也怪怪的，又难看，好象根本不是中国人，态度恶劣，点饮料才能进餐，食物质量又差，比上次去差了很多，一点味道都没有，就象工厂里加工的食品，昨晚和朋友都很失望，不会再去了。

Ich hab noch nie so ein unfreundliches Personal erlebt wie heute ! Das Essen war mehr wie schlecht ! Und zur Krönung kostet das Essen an Silvester 25Euro ! Das steht nirgendwo ! Absoluter Wucherpreis für die Auswahl an Essen !

Das Essen war wieder einmal super lecker

Super lecker. Auswahl groß. Ein wenig laute Geräuschkulisse.

Qualität vom Essen ist leider schlechter geworden. Preis-Leistung passt leider nicht mehr.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend mit Freunden. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, die Auswahl groß. Versorgt vom nettem Personal und umgeben vom modernen Interieur. Was auch deutlich positiv auffiel war die angenehme Geräuschkulisse....keinesfalls so ein Mensafeeling wie bei einigen Mitbewerbern vor Ort. Klare Empfehlung.

Am Eingang wird man von einer Servicekraft begrüßt und zum Tisch geführt. Platzauswahl ist genügend, da mittags nicht übermäßig viel los ist. Dementsprechend ist das Buffet nicht so dicht gedrängt, wird aber auch nicht aufgefüllt wenn etwas so gut wie leer ist oder kein Fleisch mehr im Curry ist. Geschmacklich kann man sich nicht beschweren, ist solidie und den meistens anderen chinesischen Restaurants auf Augenhöhe. Für die Größe des Ladens erscheint das Buffet passend. Wer schon mal beim Chinesen All-you-can-eat gegessen hat, wird hier mit der Auswahl der Speisen vertraut sein. Leider keine Alleinstellungsmerkmale vorhanden, aber von der Qualität her passend. Enttäuschend war nur das Dessert, einfach Fertigkuchen aus dem Discounter um die Ecke in die Vitrine gestellt und fertig. Der Service war angenehm. Nicht zu aufdringlich aber man hat sich auch nicht vernachlässigt gefühlt. Benutzte Teller sind zügig abgeräumt worden. Rückblickend war der Besuch in der Orichdee angenehm, man bekommt anständiges Essen zum fairen bis günstigen Preis. Service ist nett und fix. Wie man es von den meisten Chinesen kennt. Und so reiht sich auch die Orchidee zu den anderen Restaurants des gehobenen Durchschnitts ein.

Super restauracja, niesamowity design, pyszne jedzenie oraz przemiła obsługa. Warto odwiedzić

Sehr sauber alles, leckeres Essen,alles gut aufgefüllt, Mitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht,dass alles gut vorrätig war,Sushi lecker,Se vice super.Kann ich nur empfehlen,immer wieder gerne.

Essen war reichlich und gut am Buffet

Leider sehr an Angebot und Qualität abgenommen. Bin dort früher sehr gern hingegangen.. aber leider nicht mehr.

Bedienung nicht freundlich sahen gelangweilt aus.

Персонал очень жадно присматривается к посетителям,еда не большой выбор особенно фрукты,и морепродуктов.

Service sehr nett und aufmerksam. Wir hatten Büfett welches eine große Auswahl an Vorspeisen, Hauptgerichten und Nachtisch anbietet. Wir waren wieder sehr zufrieden

Wir hatten super Essen und Service war vorbildlich. Danke ☺️

自助餐在平均水平，炒菜不怎么样，点了五道菜水平都比较差劲。番茄炒蛋没有番茄味道，少了煸的步骤。腐竹没有泡开，锅包肉半温半凉，茄子肉末勉勉强强

Hi, das Essen war sehr fade, hatten Hot Pot und Buffet. Es war unterirdisch, das Hühnchen schmeckte nicht nach Hühnchen…

Nachtrag 23.09.2023: Upps, leider eine negative Überraschung, der Preis für das Buffet ist in der Zwischenzeit 23€. Die Suppe ist dünner und die allgemeine Qualität hat gelitten.Echt schade! Alte Bewertung vor ca. einem Jahr: Alles gut Buffet vielseitig und heiß, Bedienung war höflich und aufmerksam, alles gut, gerne wieder

Das Buffet ist reichhaltig und sehr lecker. Auch der mongolische Grill hat viele verschiedene ausgefallene Fleischsorten und Beilagen. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Das Restaurant ist super Büffet ist super, Mitarbeiter freundlich und das Ambiente super alles super. Für Familienbesuche super.

Das Angebot ist gut und mir schmeckt es. Bestellungen zur Abholung werden sehr schnell ausgeführt. Anrufen, losfahren, fertig beica.8 Min. Fahrzeit. Alles mega heiß, Portionen sind riesig. Meist bleibt noch etwas für den nächsten Tag übrig.

Das Essen war gut aber leider nichts hervorragend. Mit der Familie gut mal zu besuchen. Die Keller waren nur zu 2. Was ich als zu wenig empfand, die Armen sind wirklich von a nach b gehechtet, sie wurden allen gerecht, aber eine Person mehr einstellen wäre wirklich gut.

Ich nahm die Gelegenheit wahr, über die to good to go-App übrig gebliebene Speisen des Abendbuffetts zum günstigen Preis zu probieren und war angenehm überrascht über die reichhaltige Zusammenstellung des Abendpakets mit einer Auswahl an fritierten Fisch-, Garnelen- und Hähnchenfleisch und Pommes. In der Mitnahmebox gestapelt sah es, klar, nicht so toll aus, wie auf Tellern serviert, aber es schmeckte trotzdem so gut, dass ich demnächst vor Ort zum Essen kommen werde.

Beim letzten Besuch war das Essen allgemein nur so lala. Ausschlaggebend ist jedoch das Ambiente - bei etwa 28 Grad Außentemperatur nur ein paar handelsübliche Ventilatoren ist nicht nett. Würde dort im Sommer solang das nicht geändert wird nicht mehr hingehen.

Super nettes Personal. Das Essen war sehr lecker und auch frisch. Die Auswahl war reichlich und sehr gut. Wir gehen sehr gerne dort hin, da es sehr ruhig und entspannend ist. Weiter so!

War ok , aber zu teuer für das was geboten wurde. Es gibt definitiv bessere.

Sehr freundliches und nettes Personal. Buffet sehr vielfältig, sehr viel Auswahl. Alles super.

👍🏻 自助餐美味而丰富，有各种各样的特色美食。👍🏻 价格/性能非常好。👍🏻 工作人员总是很友好。👍🏻 软冰淇淋机上的小甜点不应该错过。 在“中国餐厅兰花”我们非常喜欢它，总是喜欢回来🍦 😊

Wir waren Mittagessen, Super Buffet alles sehr lecker. 😋 Die Toiletten waren nicht so toll einfach alles voll mit💩 kein Toilettenpapier, keine Handtücher. Hätten wir das vorher gewusst wären wir woanders hin gegangen zum Essen !!

Ich besuchte das chinesische Restaurant Orchidee, da es in der Nähe meines Hotels lag. Ich bat um ein Menü, da ich keinen Appetit auf das Buffet hatte, aber auf das Buffet hingewiesen wurde. Das Buffet war nicht gut bestückt, viele der Tabletts fast leer. Ich entschied mich für das Thai Curry und das Rindfleisch und Zwiebeln. Beide waren sehr salzig. Ich bat um Bezahlung, und sie brachten meine Quittung über 21 Euro für das Buffet und 3 Euro für das bestellte Wasser heraus. Ich bot an, mit einer Karte zu bezahlen, und sie gaben an, dass es sich nur um Bargeld handelte. Als ich ging, sah ich einen anderen Tisch, der mit einer Karte bezahlte. Ich fand das Personal unhöflich und unehrlich und das Essen war das schlechteste, das ich seit langem hatte. Ich kann es definitiv nicht empfehlen. I visited Chinese Restaurant Orchidee as it was close to my hotel. I asked for a menu as I didn’t have the appetite for the buffet but was pointed toward the buffet any way. The buffet was not well stocked, with many of the trays nearly empty. I chose the Thai Curry and the Beef and Onions. Both were very salty. I asked to pay, and they brought out my receipt for 21 euro for the buffet and 3 euro for the water I ordered. I offered to pay with a card and they stated they were cash only. As I was leaving, I saw another table paying with a card. I found the staff to be rude and dishonest, and the food to be the worst I’ve had in quite a while. I definitely do not recommend.
