China Restaurant Phönix in Bremen

While the buffet offers a wide selection, the taste wasn't convincing. Meat and fish are cooked on the same grill, and the frying isn't separated. As a result, some dishes are unsuitable for certain groups of guests—for example, for hygiene or religious reasons. Given these restrictions, the price seems rather high.

Unfortunately, the quality has declined significantly. Some of the food didn't seem fresh, was cold, and tasted rather bland and sticky. I was disappointed and will think twice about returning.

No matter what I ate, everything tasted bland and mostly salty! The best thing was the ice cream... I just remembered why I was last there more than six years ago. I won't make that mistake again.

THE RIGHT EATERY PLACE TO BE AWAY FROM HOME, INFACT EVERYTHING IS WORTH THE MONEY SPENT. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ALL ENSANDERY 😊 ❤️ 😍 💕 ✅️

This "restaurant" should be closed IMMEDIATELY – the health department has been informed!! Once supposedly recommended, now a complete disgrace. My wife and I eat out regularly – but what's happening here is an absolute disgrace. This establishment doesn't even deserve to be called a "restaurant"; it's simply an eyesore! Positive (if you want to call it that): A children's corner for 3-10 year olds. Yes, nice – but what's the point? Why not for 2-year-olds or 11-year-olds too? Half-hearted and well-thought-out, like the whole place. Negative (and there are more than enough): 1. The shrimp were ALL covered in feces because the intestines weren't removed. Absolutely disgusting, revolting, and hazardous to health – and that at €25 per person! Any normal restaurateur would be ashamed. 2. The staff is completely overwhelmed. A waitress who can't even carry two plates and a glass? That's a joke. 3. Live cooking? More like a "slow-motion disaster." With barely 20 guests, the wait was almost 40 minutes (it felt longer!). And then the food ended up at the wrong table. When I pointed this out, I was dismissed with an annoyed "No, no, not German" – incredibly disrespectful! Communication works well in other Asian restaurants – but here it's a complete non-starter. 4. The restrooms are a nightmare. I've seen cleaner conditions in train station restrooms – and that's saying something! 5. Drinks? A cheap 2-liter bottle of Coke, poured into a glass – and then they charge €10 per liter! That borders on rip-off. 6. It's a stifling 30 degrees Celsius in the dining room, with no windows open. Obviously intentional, so you order even more overpriced drinks with the completely over-salted frozen food. A lousy scam at the expense of the guests. Conclusion: This isn't just a failure, it's a disgrace for the restaurant industry. Disastrous hygiene, a culinary disgrace, and a laughingstock. Every cent spent here is wasted money, every bite a risk. This shouldn't be allowed in Germany – CLOSE IT!

The food was good. Service was a bit unfriendly.

Was super delicious. Staff very friendly and very attentive

We often come here, even though we live on the other side of town. The restaurant has a principle: pay for a seat and eat as much as you can. Drinks, however, have to be paid for separately. If you want to bring your own alcohol, then 10€ for a bottle of 0.7.

Very child-friendly and good service

Tried it again after a few years, it was renovated, the buffet was fine, it was refilled, you can go again 😊 Duck was very good!

The food is getting worse and worse and almost always cold. Sorry, that was probably the last time.

Well-stocked buffet, staff quick and friendly.

Food was cold, texture was poor, and the staff were unfriendly. After complaining, the price was reduced, but that was the last time. We were also told not to come.

The buffet is very good and the service is very friendly. I'd be happy to go again.

An absolute recommendation. Good value for money. I was satisfied. Buffet

I went to lunch with my wife today. Anyone who knows the difference between good and bad food will avoid this restaurant.

Top-notch service and excellent meat and fish. The buffet had a wide selection; highly recommended.

Very tasty. We eat there often. I also like that the prices have remained stable despite inflation, and you can still eat as much as you can 😊😜 They also always check to see if the customers have everything they need and are satisfied. Great atmosphere. 👍

4.5 stars. Food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly. Price performance is okay. But I also know other restaurants with more selection, hence the half point deduction. Overall satisfied.

Unfortunately, the food is really not good anymore. I wouldn't touch the meat again - it was inedible. In general, the entire buffet is just reminiscent of frozen and warmed up. The chocolate fountain also looked stale. Only the dessert was okay (but letting something thaw isn't that difficult either). When my partner wanted to get dessert, we were asked whether we wanted to pay, even though we didn't say anything. When we really wanted to pay, the German-speaking waitress sat in the corner and watched videos. A younger lady had to ask her several times to cash in on us. We won't come here anymore.

The buffet is completely fine. Staff quick and helpful.

Very large selection, delicious food. We were very satisfied.

Had the lunch menu for 20 euros including a drink. Typical Chinese buffet with baked potato, which is surprising but a change from noodles, rice and chips. Food, expectedly good with of course ice cream, salad, sushi, fresh fruit. Point deductions in each case: Service was very adequate, people stood around at the counter bored. A cold birthday group was at the buffet.

Never again ! We were happy to eat here again, having been there a few years ago. The food was lukewarm to cold, tough and dry. For the hefty 25 euros for a normal buffet, I was only able to eat a few bites of salad and 2 pieces of really tough meat that cut like rubber. Unfortunately the rest was inedible. We had the feeling that the warming containers for the food did not work at all or were not in use The chocolate fountain looked like it had been warmed up over and over again for a few days. The fruit department didn't look any better either The waitress just shrugged her shoulders when we complained about the cold food. We won't enter a store like this again! To be served an inedible meal for 2 people for 60 euros is a disgrace!

Very bad restaurant. TK Asian food garbage. But I liked the rubber buns... I'd rather sell a kidney before I eat there again...

We were guests at the Phoenix Chinese Restaurant in Bremen every 3-4 months for years and were always satisfied - but what we experienced on our last visit was simply disappointing and disrespectful. As soon as we entered we were greeted extremely unfriendly by the waitresses. We were told straight away that we would only be allowed to partake in the buffet if we ordered something to drink. A few minutes later, two other guests arrived who hadn't ordered anything - and they were allowed to eat at the buffet as normal. We still don't know why different rules applied here. The food was a disaster: it was lukewarm, didn't feel fresh at all and tasted really bad. The sushi looked like it had been there for two weeks - absolutely inedible. The raw meat that could be grilled also didn't look fresh, and some of it even had a greenish tint - an imposition. But dealing with our friend's fish allergy was particularly bad. We politely told the employees three times that please don't grill fish with the meat. Nevertheless, our chicken and lamb chops tasted like fish. When we asked politely, we were suddenly told that we were “disturbing” and that you should “eat what you get”. An absolute disgrace. In addition, the employees were constantly standing near us, watching us, pointing fingers at us and talking about us in their own language - while people laughed and continued pointing at us. That was extremely unpleasant and disrespectful. This is not how you treat paying guests. To make matters worse, we were also charged the most expensive water - €7.99 for half a bottle of water. Seriously? By the end of the night we all felt unwell - and unfortunately some of us even vomited. After this experience, it was clear to us: This was our last visit to the Phoenix. We used to enjoy visiting the restaurant, but after this disrespectful, unhygienic and just plain bad experience, all we can say is: never again. And we can no longer recommend it to anyone.

Words cannot describe what a traumatizing experience our visit to the restaurant yesterday was... Starting with the extremely rude staff who wanted to throw us out because not everyone wanted their own drink. Then they kept gossiping about us and pointing fingers at us, we couldn't understand a word, which made us feel quite uncomfortable. The quality of the food is below average and at the Mongolian Grill, for which you pay €25 per person, all the meat tasted like disgusting fish... Although we asked the staff twice not to grill our meat right next to the other fish dishes... In addition to this terrible atmosphere in which you constantly feel like you are being watched and the finger is being pointed at you, comes the final crowning glory... That same night I had to vomit up to six times and was therefore in the toilet for a whole hour at 2am!!! I regretted every second I spent in this terrible restaurant... from the disgusting food, to the overpriced prices, and then to the rude staff who just complained. It felt like a nightmare... I hope you don't have to go through the same thing as me.

Food is fresh and tastes better than other restaurants, the ambience is too annoying for me but otherwise everything is good!

Large selection of food at the buffet, at a fair price.

The store used to be good, but now it's really no longer usable Food no longer hot Dessert, well Live cooking takes a long time Staff only moderately friendly Prices very high for quality The playground used to be good and now it's terrible

Normally we always like to eat there when we are in Bremen, but this time it was just bad. We were there at 9:20 p.m., asked if there was still food, and quite annoyed we were told until 10 p.m. Short cold soup at the Mongolian buffet, there was hardly anything left, other dishes were quite rare and not really warm and at 9:45 p.m. it was no longer possible to get dessert. When I asked the boss, I was told that msn could say whatever I wanted, but my objection was ignored at the Mongolian buffet, and at a buffet the written food should also be there and not the dessert cleared away at 9:45 p.m., because in the end you pay for everything. The answer was great, he doesn't employ 15 people for 2 guests. 1 there were more, 2 the opening time is until 11 p.m. and the buffet is stated until 10 p.m. and was also mentioned that way upon request. Sorry, all of this for €54.90 is simply outrageous

Normalerweise sind wir immer gerne dort essen, wenn wir in Bremen sind , aber diesmal es war einfach nur schlecht. Wir waren um 21:20 dort, fragten ob es noch essen gibt , ziemlich genervt heißt es ja bis 22 Uhr . Kurz Suppe kalt am mongolischen Büffet kaum noch etwas da, andere Speisen ziemlich rar und nicht richtig warm und um 21:45 war es nicht mehr möglich noch Nachtisch zu bekommen. Auf Nachfrage beim Chef heißt es msn könnte ja sagen was man will, auf den Einwand das wurde am mongolischen Büfett ignoriert und bei einem Büfett sollte doch das geschriebene Essen auch da sein und nicht der Nachtisch im 21:45 abgeräumt , denn schlussendlich zahlt man ja auch für alles. Die Antwort war toll , er beschäftigt doch nicht 15 Personen für 2 Gäste. 1 waren mehr da, 2 ist die Öffnungszeit bis 23 Uhr und Büfett bis 22 Uhr angegeben und auch auf Anfrage so genannt worden. Sorry das alles für 54,90 € ist schlichtweg unverschämt

The food was incredibly greasy, and unfortunately the freshly grilled food didn't taste good either. In addition, the staff was very unfriendly. Never again!

Great restaurant With a small but nice buffet

Delicious food at fair prices. Highly recommended for lunch.

It goes like this, absolute feeling of fullness, fat and sugar

The boss and the waitress are very friendly and the prices are very fair.

Staff unfriendly, just take the sauces from the table without asking, food lukewarm, a waitress is playing games in the corner, they didn't even say hello or goodbye, the amount was shouted when paying. Very very rude, apart from the fact that the food tasted nothing, everything was cold and the sushi tasted like it had been there for 2 days, the shop smells of sweat, the cashier can't talk normally, I've never seen a cashier so loud impolite !! Once and never again.

If a restaurant is open all day, you can expect to get something to eat all the time! We were there this afternoon around 3 p.m. There were still a few guests there, but they had already finished eating. The first waitress said that we could only order from the menu because the buffet was already closed. It's not that bad... then the next person came around the corner and said that the kitchen was already closed and that we could still eat from the buffet. We went to the buffet and actually we should have left the store by then because there wasn't really a selection left. We put a few things on our plates and went back to the table. Almost everything was cold and the meat was just dry. The Eight Precious Pieces were so hot that I could hardly eat them. Ok, it's a buffet then I'll have a second course...unfortunately the staff there had already mopped the floor and it was so wet that I almost sat on my butt and the lights from the buffet were already out. In the meantime, the staff had taken care of the already sparse leftovers and had also taken the tongs with them to remove the food. After my sliding game on the wet floor, I was more than satisfied. I forgot to mention at the beginning that one of the employees was shouting at a level that was beyond hearing and seeing. This very nice lady then cashed in on us, after we complained that this behavior was impossible and we didn't feel welcome there, she charged us the full price for the food and forgave us the two drinks....Terrible, simply terrible.....NEVER AGAIN!!! One star is still too many!!!

The food is very tasty, the choice is very large, from meat and seafood to desserts. We were with our family at the Buffet for 25 EUROS per person. We were full and satisfied. Pay for drinks separately, juices, cola, Fanta from 4 euros. Beer from 4 euros. There are strong alcohol and cocktails. You can celebrate your birthday there. Of the minuses. The room is very hot. Very noisy. You can wait 40 minutes for your meat. Overall, my family and I really enjoyed it. I recommend it.

Simply terrible, in Hansa Caree, never again

A very beautiful restaurant. I recommend it to all visitors. Top-notch food, especially seafood. The buffet style is very beautiful and varied. A very beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately, what is missing is the friendliness of the staff.

Large selection for small to large. Very friendly staff

Good Chinese restaurant. We liked everything. We were there at lunchtime. There was a buffet. Including drinks it cost €20.50 per person. I recommend

The Chinese Restaurant Phönix offers an all you can eat buffet or alternatively you can choose from a menu. The food was delicious and the ambience is beautifully designed. Service was good. Overall, a recommendable restaurant that I will visit often.

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

The unlimited option is very nice. The taste is great. The water bottles, chicken and meat taste great. But it's a little expensive, but it's worth the price you pay.

We went for dinner with a group of five people. The buffet offered exceeded expectations. Fresh ingredients, plenty of selection of different types of dishes. Whether vegetarian or with chicken meat beef, there is something for everyone. In addition, a small but fine selection of sushi and a plentiful selection of various desserts. The Mongolian buffet was also very exclusive. Fine ingredients and a delicious selection to put together yourself. All in all, I can highly recommend the restaurant. The restaurant has been at this location for over ten years now, and I can say that it gets better every year.

Very tasty buffet with a large selection. Friendly service and affordable prices. Nothing more is possible.

Excellent, on Sundays they have an offer

Yıllardır gittiğim mekan, garsonlar sürekli bıkmış tavırla sorulara cevap bile vermeden yüzünü çevirip gidiyor. Müşteriye gereken değer verilmiyor. Bunun dışında yemekleri iyi. I've been going to this restaurant for years, the waiters always turn their backs on me and walk away with an annoyed attitude without even answering any questions. The customer is not paid the due value. Other than that the food is good.

Delicious food. Good service. My friend had a birthday and they sang and gave her presents.

Great buffet selection, reasonable prices and friendly staff

The quality of the food has deteriorated VERY much. Everything tastes the same and is sometimes only lukewarm. Sorry but we won't be coming back

Typical Chinese restaurant with buffet.

We stayed at the Phoenix in Gröpelingen. The buffet there is freshly prepared, clean, something for every taste and the staff is friendly and quick. We like to go there.

Very tasty and all very fresh products. The staff is very friendly and quick to clear so that the table always has space. Freshly prepared is also super tasty. Very clean everything. Price is also completely okay

Something too limited for vegans. The best years are somewhat over here too. Service was nice, prices ranged from very cheap to normal depending on the time of day.

A well-filled all-you-can-eat buffet. Fresh and varied food. Something for everyone. We were there for brunch on a public holiday at 11:00. The restaurant was totally empty...which was really good😅👌...very quiet and the delicious food was still unpicked by the many guests. It's always full at lunch and dinner and therefore noisy.

Have eaten here very often. Of course, like any Mongolian buffet, it's always the same. Since we arrived at the restaurant as soon as it opened, the food was still warm and available.

Very nice there. I always like to eat a lot and have great desserts.

A waitress came to our table to see if we had brought Tùpperwãre with us to fill us with food, because some people probably do that! I told her we didn't have anything with us to fill ourselves with food. She left after a long time! So outrageous! We've been going there for a long time, unfortunately it's gotten worse overall. We don't need it again! It's a shame that it's now the only buffet in Bremen!

We went to the Phönix on a Sunday evening (Mongolian buffet for €24.90). Positive: The staff was very polite and accommodating. The buffet was regularly replenished. Buffet food such as eight treasures, beef with onions etc was good. Negative: Unfortunately, the finished food (the baked/fried one) was far too firm/crispy. In my opinion, eating the Mongolian buffet took a long time. The only vegetarian sushi was maki with cucumber. It was a restless & loud atmosphere. As always, it's quite difficult, especially with buffet food. As always, it's all a question of taste.

It was really nice, the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. We'll definitely come back again ☺️

Were encouraged to go early and boldly.

The food is very appetizing and the staff is extremely friendly. Including drinks for two people paid €43. Ambiance: When it's full it gets a little louder because it's a big restaurant. We can recommend it!

Great staff, food is great, you feel very welcome

The food is excellent, but unfortunately it is often very noisy because it is always busy

Large selection at the buffet, the quality is also good🤩☝️

I come here often with my family. The food is rock solid. The service depends on the person. I was treated very well and very badly, I will say. I have the feeling that sometimes you want to get rid of me quickly after eating. Ambiance fits. One note: the dishes and plates are not always completely clean. If you don't pay much attention to detail, it's still worth a visit, especially if you like Asian cuisine.

Unfortunately it's not getting any better, but it's still just too expensive now.

In my opinion they have become outrageously expensive

Food was ok so far, but the staff didn't pay attention when some people put their hands in my food. The service wasn't very friendly. Toilets were also pretty full of piss. Ambience, I think the shelf boards are too crowded and sometimes the color doesn't match.

There was so much choice that I couldn't try everything. It was simply delicious 😍😍 you can have a really good meal there 🤗

The food is excellent and cheap too.

After a long time I thought about going back When I was there, the only thing that killed me was the price of €22, well it was also a holiday OK, I thought to myself, we aren't here that often so we can't go in Now about the food For that much money you would expect that it was at least freshly prepared, but unfortunately not everything really tasted like the leftovers from the day before had been thrown into the fryer And why is everything over salted? Never again!!!!

Large selection of buffets. We were there on a Saturday and the shop was relatively full, but some of the buffet dishes were dry and only lukewarm. Too bad. There is still room for improvement here.

Great food, friendly staff... and quite cheap. I've been eating there for years and have never been disappointed.

The buffet is very rich and is always replenished. However, the “crispy” duck was tough, apparently only warmed up due to high demand. Very unfortunate. The sushi counter is also not recommended; its appearance and taste are unfortunately at best mediocre. Still overall ok.

So food is good also clean (but) they don't treat customers well

This Asian restaurant used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but unfortunately it has now become a real disappointment. The quality of the food has deteriorated significantly - it often only tastes average, and the freshness sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. The service has also deteriorated: the employees often seem inattentive and you sometimes have to wait longer for orders. Only the ambience is still a plus point. The furnishings are stylish and create an authentic, cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger. Unfortunately, the great ambience cannot compensate for the poor food and mediocre service. Overall, it's a shame that the restaurant is no longer what it once was. In that sense, thank you for reading ✌

We had dinner there with the family on Sunday evening. Since then I have had stomach cramps and also abdominal pain. So everyone who has grilled meat and fish from us has these problems. For me that was the LAST TIME. NEVER AGAIN. The last time I had it was in August, but it wasn't that bad.

Good Chinese restaurant. Delicious food, rich buffet with Mongolian grill. Nice staff. Unfortunately the prices have recently increased significantly, so in my opinion the price/performance ratio is no longer right.

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

Went there today on Wednesday. There was enough space. Drinks came super quickly and the table was cleared very quickly. Food was good for such a restaurant. Some dishes could have been warmer. The price is still ok for us. Only if it increases does the quality have to improve. But we'd love to come back.

They treated us badly and looked at us badly, which made me feel uncomfortable eating

Some people should be turned away at the door. You can't go to the restaurant in sweatpants. Also the loud babbling of some groups.

Doesn't exactly look clean to me, but everything else is fine

The food and service were ok. What's really bad are the toilets. The floor is sticky because it hasn't been cleaned in ages. The smell is disgusting and disgusting. I've never experienced anything like this in a restaurant, 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.

Large selection of main courses, rich salad buffet and a wide variety of desserts.

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

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
