China Restaurant Phönix in Bremen

++Buffet good selection, including desserts ++fair price ++Possibility of freshly frying meat (in the evening) -Crockery/cutlery not always clean

The food and service were ok. What's really bad are the toilets. The floor sticks. The smell is disgusting and disgusting. I've never experienced anything so dirty anywhere. There is a saying: “like the toilet, like the kitchen”. I couldn't get the horrible smell out of my nose. All of this really spoiled our meal. I don't want to come back.

Rich buffet with something for everyone, good selection, with warm dishes, fruit, cake, ice cream and even two chocolate fountains (white and dark chocolate)

Very tasty and good selection. One star deducted because the furniture is worn and outdated. Overall, a somewhat dingy impression. We didn't want to take a table, it was wiped clean but greasy. The benches were dirty from previous guests and had not been wiped down.

The same concept as its golden brother! I think a little less seating and a different atmosphere. Very good quality and great live cooking! I like being a guest here!

Very large selection and the food was very tasty. Unfortunately, the behavior of some guests is wrong, especially the parents, who don't pay attention to what their children are doing at the buffet. The staff can't help it.

Large selection at the buffet and everything is of high quality. Something delicious for everyone. We also got something here outside of the regular buffet/opening hours. Would come again.

It used to be much better and now there is less choice and the quality has become poor. I found a piece of plastic in my sushi. Of course I let them know but didn't get an apology.

Anyone who likes a lot of choice and is very hungry is well served here.

No recommendation! The food was okay, but there were pieces of meat that weren't ready yet The service and the employees were very, very rude, my 4 year old sister was yelled at very loudly because she was in the way and the employee hit a young boy's chair because he didn't hear her telling him to move his chair a little to the side Very, very rude and a lot of them didn't know any German at all and couldn't answer any of our questions and always sent us away and didn't want to talk to us at all. 1 star just because of the food otherwise I would have preferred not to give it at all. Everyone was really very rude and very disrespectful!! I don't recommend it.

A respectable restaurant and the food is always fresh and tasty

Super rich buffet, great ambience, great customer service!

Everyone will find something for themselves, you can eat it, although it is a bit too salty, and the cakes are not very good either.

Staff is very nice Furnishings are typical Asian restaurants Food is good

Unfortunately visited by very loud groups of people at lunchtime

I'm surprised that the reviews are so low 🥰 I recommend

Lukewarm, partly cold food from the buffet. Even telling me is ignored. You can only get hot food if you have it freshly fried on the Mongolian grill at the evening buffet. Baked things like meat or sesame balls completely saturated with fat. Yes, it is fried but even the duck meat itself was dripping with oil. Drinks at room temperature. No ice cubes despite asking. Toilets disgusting. Joints rotten and crumbly. Paper towels empty. Sink partly cracked. Evening buffet for 2 people with drinks: approx. 65 euros (priced in line with other Asian buffets)

Fresh and tasty in the evening - at lunchtime we often have something warmed up from the day before

Most of the food is delicious, but unfortunately there weren't enough vegetarian dishes and most of it was almost cold. The sushi offering is particularly boring, and it tastes that way too. Too bad

It was really tasty, as always😁

The food offering has been expanded to 5 counters and the number of seats has increased. We like to come here more often.

The food is good, but the treatment of the staff was very bad, especially towards foreigners. My wife went with her friends today. They were not respected and an inappropriate table was chosen for them, especially since there were many empty seats. They were not handled tactfully

Ambience is not necessarily inviting. The service seems hectic and not particularly friendly. We arrived shortly after opening. The buffet was only half full. Some dishes only came after about 15 minutes. The selection is fine. In terms of taste, I know better Chinese restaurants.

Great restaurant, delicious food and always fresh food for everyone, simply brilliant,

The waitresses are either overwhelmed or simply unfriendly. You have to wait a long time to drink. But the food is very good and there is something for everyone

One year ago we were there for our son's birthday and everything was fine. Yesterday we were again for our son's birthday and found that everything in the restaurant had gotten drastically worse, we were offered a cheap cola instead of real one and tap water instead of mineral water .

I do not understand the positive reviews and refer to the publication based on test results in accordance with Section 40 Paragraph 1a No. 3 LFGB. See link. https://www.lmtvet.bremen.de/lebensmittel/lebensmitteltransparenz/veroeffentlichung-gem-40-1a-lfgb-15457

Ambiente okay Bedienung könnte freundlicher sein. Als wir um 11:30 h ankamen wurden noch Speisen gebracht. Die Ente kam erst 15 Minuten später. Sehr viel Sushi. Auswahl an Gerichten ist recht groß. Geschmacklich in Ordnung. Ich kenne bessere China Restaurants.

Rich buffet and very tasty. Friendly staff

Pretty good food, very affordable price

We are actually regular customers. Unfortunately, yesterday the food at 5:30 p.m. wasn't good at all. It didn't seem fresh. You had the feeling it was already there from lunch and was just being kept warm. We also had to take care of drinks ourselves because we weren't looked after enough. We mentioned that we weren't satisfied at all this time and also asked whether the things had been lying around for a long time. Actually everything should be fresh by 5:30 p.m. Unfortunately, they only said manager manager, but he didn't come when asked, so nothing happened. The price was not reduced as compensation because only the manager can do that. I hope he will get in touch. It's a shame how customers who come regularly are treated when something doesn't fit.

There were three of us in the restaurant. No greeting, just a “please”. One wanted to order from the buffet, two others from the menu. The service became very unfriendly and bitchy, almost accusing us of not being allowed to eat or try anything from the buffet (which we had no intention of doing?) otherwise we would have ordered buffet. That was quite unpleasant. The drinks were put down without comment. While we were eating, the waitress kept coming over and checking to see if we were eating from the buffet with our colleague. It was the first time we had been to the restaurant in probably 6-7 years, what makes you accuse us of something like that? This is disrespectful, rude and extremely unpleasant, it simply makes you feel unwelcome. Not a nice visit, we won't come back. Nothing special in terms of taste for the price

Not the best Chinese restaurant I know, but good food and very clean too.

Delicious food, nice staff. Price performance top.

Always delicious, once a month I go there with my friends. Lunch buffet at 11.90 you can't complain. Went there this evening to grill meat and it's nice. Unfortunately my beef was not fried like rubber, mushrooms and onions were just left on top. It's a shame otherwise the buffet is delicious. Now costs 14.90

Chinese restaurant just delicious, freshly prepared.

I used to enjoy eating at the buffet. Yesterday I was there for the last time. Dirty plates, bananas already brown and thick flakes in the chocolate fountain. The toilets were flooded in the washing area. Chicken meat too salty and really oily. Some of the food was cold. Later I developed stomach and intestinal problems from eating.

Great food at great prices. Especially fair when it comes to children's prices

Varied food, service could be friendlier, otherwise ok.

JUST BEEN THERE VERY BAD SERVICE NO HELLO AND IMMEDIATELY ASKED FOR MONEY WHETHER CASH OR CARD. THAT WAS ALREADY THE SECOND TIME AND THAT'S A RUDE YOU HADN'T EVEN EAT ANYTHING YET. PRICES WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. THE FOOD WAS . NOT GOOD FOR 63.00 EURO. MY SON AND I WILL NEVER COME BACK. ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED ANYMORE. HANDS OFF.!!

I don't really know how to describe our visit right now. Unfortunately, we first discovered that the service was completely dismantled. We were there shortly before 5:30 p.m. The duck had probably already died at least twice by this point. In contrast to the chicken in the 8 treasures, that was still raw. There was also life in the overripe watermelon. A whole swarm of fruit flies complained about my *visit*... When we asked the service about the flies, they ignored it. Same with raw meat in sauce... When we wanted to drink something else, we had to chase the service as well as pay.

Very bad and disgusting.So schlimm und ekelhaft. Very bad

Great big buffet. Eat very tasty and fresh. Cozy atmosphere. Great value for money at the lunch buffet.

The restaurant is incredibly loud.

I was there for the lunch menu today. I paid 20 euros for food + beer. Let's get to the main point, first of all, our brother in the dark blue suit in the pictures I posted is the owner of the business. He is a brother of ours who is trying to sell honey while his face is selling vinegar. He is very unhappy, like the tradesman who has a check on Monday but no money in his pocket. Unfortunately, this unhappiness has spread to both the food and the waiters. Opening time is 11.00, but everything is available at the counter only after 11.30. It has a weak food variety compared to similar places. When you go to Bremerhaven for the same price, you can eat more varieties for the same price in a place called Mongolia. Toilets are clean but there is a strange smell. It's not bad, but it's undefined. Paper hand towels are on the counter when they should be in the towel holder, which is also interesting. As a result, the price may be cheap, but it is not very preferable. A place I never thought I'd go to again. I'm looking to see if there is an alternative location.

Unfortunately not good anymore. Service was quite nice but food led to longer skinny toilet sessions the last two visits. Was my last visit.

Employees are really rude and can't even speak German properly, the whole restaurant smelled and wasn't clean, is really not recommended

We've been coming here on and off for years. Unfortunately there has been less and less going on lately. The food was better too. The selection at the buffet has always been the same for years. No variety.

It tastes the same everywhere whether I go to this or the Chinese restaurant, everything has the same sauces

This is really a good restaurant, the food was amazing. They have different varieties of sweets. The ice-cream was really good.

I am very pleased. What I don't like at all are the toilets. You could also say DISGUSTING.

Very pleasant, well attended. Price performance top

It was our first and last time there and we would have read the reviews beforehand. If we hadn't entered the restaurant. The staff was always unfriendly. The buffet was no longer filled after 6 p.m. The food selection was a disaster for the price. Mongolian buffet hardly any choice. The food had no taste, it was cold and the meat was very dry. The toilets are very unhygienic. We definitely won't be coming back.

Were forced to buy drinks. Advertise with a 14.90 buffet, it's just stupid that they say, "no drinks, no food🤡" then it quickly becomes 20 euros.

Compared to other buffet Asian restaurants, here it tastes warmed up and everything is seasoned pretty much the same. Drinks are not included and are quite expensive.

Very nice atmosphere, rich buffet.

The food itself tastes good and there is a large selection, but I didn't feel welcome there with my family. Only one employee smiled at us. Most of the employees there seem very annoyed. A no-go for me. We recently had a negative experience with a cleaning employee there. We entered a (dining) area that was neither closed nor marked as freshly mopped. Then the angry cleaning employee, waving her arms wildly, came up to us and “made a fool of us”. One or two restaurant employees noticed this, but didn't do anything about it. I mean, no one wants to have unrest in the restaurant. It wasn't nice for the guests dining there at that moment either.

My daughter had food poisoning on March 24th

This rating goes to the cleaning lady (Ally or similar) who just drove me out of an edible pond in an impudent tone from above with hand gestures because she had just mopped the floor there shortly before. I didn't see it and there wasn't a sign (freshly mopped) or anything like that put up. She came around the corner screaming and also made hand gestures for me to get away. .Even though I spoke to her in her unfriendly and disrespectful manner, she continued resolutely in her manner. It's a real shame because we always like to come. It's impossible to treat guests or fellow human beings like that.

We had lunch today 😍Everything is delicious as always 🥰🔥

An indescribably rich and tasty buffet, and no after-effects in the form of glutamate. The most diverse buffet I have ever encountered. But the ambience - for heaven's sake 😱. I have never been to a dirtier, more unkempt buffet restaurant. The staff bored, unmotivated (understandable given the dirt and chaos) And it wasn't just trashed by the day guests, it was absolutely filthy. Worst toilets ever

To be fair, you have to say that the food, especially the grill buffet, was very tasty. But the friendliness of the waiters leaves a lot to be desired! Please work on your friendliness - this starts with the greeting and service! I hope that the criticism is received constructively.

Report from the health department, mouse droppings in corners, no hygiene in the kitchen, etc...

A rich and delicious buffet that leaves nothing to be desired.

Top store, a bit expensive but where not

Food cold and sometimes very finished is not recommended

I let myself be tempted by the good reviews and met a friend for lunch today for the buffet. 3 unpleasant experiences lead me to only award one point. 1.Not exactly friendly service. 2. The toilets were not clean and when I entered my shoes started to stick to the floor. In the disabled toilet, the faucet is loose and if you press your head you get splashed. A roll of cloths next to it that were already damp from the previous person, very unhygienic. 3. in front of my eyes the cut fruits were being filled up frantically. A few went wrong. Instead of disposing of them, they were collected by hand and placed in the bowl. Very unclean and that doesn't work at all. For the boss that was the youngest service of all 👎👎👎

1 minute late for the buffet. So we would have to order a la carte. The Eight Treasures have absolutely nothing to do with Oh Treasures. Funny? We order a la carte... While all the waitresses sit at the tables smacking their lips... and our food? Taken out of the buffet and boom we get it without a sentence. The jasmine tea is tea bag tea, and the rest didn't blow me away either. Not again.

We go here regularly for the lunch buffet (during the week). It's delicious food, but you have to remember that it's a buffet. As a result, things are sometimes a little overcooked or no longer quite crispy. But new food always comes quickly. The dessert selection is always important to me and it's great here. Two chocolate fountains, one white chocolate and one milk chocolate. Fresh fruits, canned fruits, ice cream, various cakes. Prices rise every year, but that's the case everywhere. 14.90 euros is still ok. The lunch buffet on Sunday (happy hour buffet) is not recommended. Too many people and the food loses quality.

We are always happy to be there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We like the food very much and the buffet is very extensive, there is something for everyone.

A bit busier on a Saturday than during the week but I think it goes without saying that the food was very tasty and there was a reasonable selection. Everything was there, from salad to sushi to cake. Good price ratio and the staff are super nice, I can only recommend it

In the Sander Center, where the phoenix burns, the food is average, it cannot be called praiseworthy. The dishes are boring, without much taste, The service is slow, no smiles, no "nonsense". But despite all the mediocrity that reigns there, the Phoenix in the Sander Center, he is always revered. Maybe not for his food, that's clear, but for its persistence, that's wonderful. So go and try the food there, maybe you'll find something you like straight away. But be warned, you may be disappointed. Because the phoenix in the Sander Center is not all that fine.

Very nice Chinese lunch buffet, with a good price-performance ratio. In some cases the cleanliness of the plates could be better.

The food was great and the service made a lot of effort.

Waiter/waitress with aggressive& unfriendly attitude, food is way too oily. Overall a terrible experience for 28 euros.

Didn't eat there this time, didn't know it either, but was inside and looked at the buffet and my impression was, everything was clean, big selection and it looked fresh. The staff was friendly and nice.

Our visit to this restaurant was an absolute disaster. My friends and I were discriminated against and taken to a tiny, stuffy room in the far corner of the bar, presumably because we were foreigners. It felt like we were locked in and didn't have to leave the room until we paid. The heat was unbearable and the atmosphere unpleasant. When we finally didn't finish all the food, the staff asked for more money than the original price, which is completely unprofessional. This restaurant does not deserve any recommendation and we will definitely never return here.

The place is getting worse and worse. Prices... A water almost 8.00 euros, I'm happy to pay for food and drink but definitely not like that.

You get judged a lot because of your looks. You are locked in the room and asked to pay while you eat. When we said we would like to pay like everyone else after eating, we were simply locked in the room. That's impossible.

Very unfriendly, food isn't good either. You can find many things better, especially in Bremen. Don't let yourself be disappointed. It's pointless to come here.

The food we ate there was bad, there was so much oil everywhere, the food didn't taste good. Rental workers were unfriendly. Don't go there anymore and it's so expensive.

Today we went to the Phönix Restaurant with the whole family for the first time. We had ordered a table and were warmly welcomed and taken to our round table. At the beginning the restaurant wasn't that full and therefore super relaxed. Since it can get quite crowded, I would recommend making a reservation. The buffet is huge, there is a large selection of ready-made dishes, meat, fish, fried foods, dumplings, fruit, vegetables, Mongolian grill and all kinds of desserts. We were definitely full afterwards and we definitely enjoyed it. There were also some dishes to discover that were otherwise unknown. The service was friendly, helpful and attentive. Price performance is like in any other buffet "Asian" restaurant and okay. We had a very nice stay. Excellent.

The employees were very nice and accommodating. The food was great, there was a huge selection at the hot and cold buffet. Only at the buffet where it was freshly prepared did I wait almost 40 minutes for my plate. I thought he was lost. And it was quite loud because of the many children. For this reason, conversation in normal areas was not possible. Because they couldn't understand each other. Which made the visit a bit sad. That's why only 4 stars.

The food is good! Inexpensive and delicious. The service staff is friendly. I recommend it to everyone.

This restaurant cannot be topped - the unfriendliness of the staff! And that at a not so small price for the food.

....the taste has diminished quite a bit...

Unfortunately the food is not good. Unfortunately the selection is far too small for the price. The atmosphere is also not good. Unclean, loud, cramped at the buffet and sometimes chaotic conditions. We know this much better. Only the service was very friendly and accommodating.

Despite the fact that we were there shortly before the end of the buffet time, the buffet was still completely full. The food was good and the selection was really good. (Shock fountain with white and milk chocolate!!!) The price (€14.99) is ok for the offer!

Were there on a Saturday and wanted something nice to eat. Unfortunately it wasn't so easy for the staff to accommodate 2 people who wanted to eat from the xxxl buffet and had time from the menu. The atmosphere was like in the trade fair at the BW and these constant birthdays really stressed me out while eating.

We were there and it was very unclean! We also saw rats and mice! We will report it to the health department! Unbelievable….photos attached! Never here again!

Tasty but at 5 p.m. the food quickly got cold on the plate or wasn't preheated enough at the buffet. Otherwise always happy

So far we have only tried the fried noodles and the spring rolls. Always fresh and delicious, we really enjoy eating there. 👍🏻

Were there yesterday March 9th, 2024, impossible to eat much too full, very loud, well I've eaten better, the floor was very slippery

We have been visiting the Phoenix regularly over the last few years. There has been no reason to complain so far. On the contrary. The service is excellent, always friendly and accommodating. The food without the slightest complaint. There are little surprises for birthdays, even for the kids. The boss of the house often takes care of us himself and always assigns us nice tables, even if the restaurant is quite full. We are pleased that the Phoenix survived the Corona period well. We wish the entire Phönix team all the best for the future and are already looking forward to the next visit.

Ein sehr üppiges Buffet mit frischen Zutaten, die man sich auch selber aussuchen kann, um sie dann beim Koch abzugeben, der das dann auf seiner Grillplatte gart. Auch Vorspeisen und das Nachtischbuffet lassen keine Wünsche offen.

The restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated. Very friendly and helpful staff who take time for each individual guest. The toilets are also very clean. There is also a play area for children that is positioned so that two employees are always watching over there. Prices are very cheap and children cost depending on their age. The food is very tasty and of high quality, and the kitchen can fulfill any special wishes upon request. Here the guest really is king. Anyone who has a birthday gets a serenade sung over a loudspeaker and a gift. Everything really works perfectly there. About the buffet: There is just the right thing for every taste - there is fried, grilled, gratinated, vegetarian and cooked food. From beef, pork, chicken, fish to seafood, there is everything you need and if something is missing it is quickly refilled. There is also a large selection of cakes, ice cream, jelly and two chocolate fountains, there is a fountain with white and normal chocolate and you can make your own fruit skewers with chocolate or ice cream. Dogs are allowed in if you just announce it by phone a day in advance, then you will get a very quiet place where the dog can have peace and quiet.

Eat good. Everything was always there.

The lunch buffet was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The restaurant is getting old and the women's toilets were of poor quality.

Food was good so far, but when you have to go to the toilet the food is very neglected. The service just doesn't do its job anything special. The cleanliness at the tables was OK but tables were not cleaned properly. Ambience OK but very loud. Conclusion: If you want to eat cheaply, you're in good hands here.

The food was delicious and the service was also very good.
