Chinarestaurant Pavillon in Erfurt

The food has deteriorated badly, unfortunately it used to be better.

Really tasty and very nice service

Yes. But you should book in advance because it is very busy.

Super tasty, great ambience and super friendly.

Hello. I wanted to ask if it's allowed to bring two small Chihuahuas with me????

Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The buffet looked unappealing—almost empty, greasy, and anything but inviting. So we opted for à la carte, which the waitress apparently didn't like. Instead of offering friendly advice, they simply told us in an annoyed manner that the buffet was "much better." Their behavior was rude, unprofessional, and we felt like they were trying to force the overpriced, unappealing buffet on us. We left. Not a recommendation!

I was completely satisfied. The buffet was very tasty.

We were there on a Friday. The online reservation was easy, and we booked a table for 7:45 p.m. We opted for the buffet. All dishes were refilled at that time. The food was good, the service was excellent, and empty plates and glasses were cleared promptly. I personally like the fact that you pay €5 for uneaten plates and €2 for unfinished glasses to prevent food waste. All in all, we had a lovely evening and will definitely be back.

Yes, always good, I like going here.

Huge buffet. Wide selection of food. It's more like a large waiting room, not particularly comfortable, and the noise level is extreme.

We celebrated our birthday here yesterday. There was a serenade, schnapps and a cake with a candle on top for the anniversary celebration. The food (buffet) was very good and varied.

Good price/performance ratio. 17.90 euros for an extensive buffet.

This was our second time in the pavilion. On Saturday it was really crowded. No wonder, the buffet is amazing, the best I've ever experienced

The buffet is amazing and if you don't want alcohol, drinks are free

Never again...too loud, too crowded and food doesn't taste good!!! and too few parking spaces!

We went to the restaurant for a buffet dinner at the weekend. The taste of the food is very weak/the right spices are missing. The meat was so soft that you didn't need teeth to chop it - it was cooked so dead that it didn't taste good at all. Other than the crispy chicken, I didn't like the meat at all. Too bad! For €30.50 you get a definitely better buffet where you are satisfied. Of course, we also had some leftovers left on the plate and my friend thought we should put all the leftovers together on one plate. The waiter didn't think it was that good and said "if he brings the plate to the kitchen like that, the boss will complain and he'll charge you extra!" Whether you have a quarter of a plate of leftover food left over on 4 plates or make a full plate out of 4 plates is actually completely irrelevant. And if it doesn't taste good, there's just something left over. The question wasn't asked whether there was something wrong with the food, but rather what was the point of the leftovers? That's not possible. We don't need this visit again. What a shame actually!

Very clean and tidy. The food tastes delicious and the staff are very friendly.

Very good 👍. We ate buffet. Delicious and really cheap.

The buffet is very extensive, varied and delicious. The price-performance ratio is great and the restaurant is very atmospheric and modern.

Super nice team and delicious food.

It's great to go with family and friends.

Tasty food, nice staff and beautiful restaurant. The children were fascinated by the delivery robot. In short, we will definitely go back here.

So I can't completely understand the consistently positive reviews. We were there at lunchtime during the week and I think the price is worth it, but paying more in the evening or on the weekend?... you can't eat and drink that much. In my opinion, the selection was quite small: 1x fried rice (with peas and kidney beans?), 1x fried noodles, various sauces, duck, chicken and limp fish. Vegetables included champions and beans as well as breaded cauliflower. There is certainly a small salad buffet, soups and a dessert buffet, but nothing that will blow your mind. The child ate chicken nuggets and fries 🫣 the banana in the batter was black inside, the chicken was partly gristly. The positive thing is that all non-alcoholic drinks are included, as well as coffee and the like. I also think the ambience is fine and the service staff were very nice and attentive.

The buffet has a large selection. Tastes good too.

Always my pleasure. Plenty of choice, something for everyone and delicious.

Super rich and varied food for the evening buffet. A small point of criticism about the food, there should also be a choice of only fried vegetables. The lack of 1 star for service is due to the fact that 1 employee chewed chewing gum with her mouth open, which I personally found very inappropriate.

The best establishment in Erfurt, a very large selection of delicious food, friendly staff.

Very tasty food. Empty containers were quickly refilled. Staff very friendly. The parking lot was full and we had little hope of finding space - but there were enough tables. So it's better to ask questions than to judge from outside.

The lunch buffet is extremely varied, even though we were there half an hour before closing time. The meals were warm and very delicious. The employees are also very courteous and friendly. The pavilion is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to. Very nicely decorated atmosphere. For what is available to you, the price is absolutely justified.

Versatile and lavish offering. Leaves little to be desired. I think it's the best Chinese in Erfurt

Our first address for Chinese cuisine for years. The buffet offers a wide variety and drinks to suit your taste, whether cold or hot. Price performance is far exceeded. 👍👍👍

A very large Chinese buffet restaurant in the industrial area on the outskirts of town. Large parking lot in front of the entrance. It's better to make a reservation on weekends, always full. The buffet is very extensive and the dishes are all delicious. The soft drinks and coffee are included in the buffet price and can be poured yourself. On Sundays and public holidays the buffet is significantly more expensive than during the week. But you can also eat a la carte. A recommendation if you are in Erfurt, the visit was worth it.

The restaurant is busy, so reservations are recommended. This can be done easily online. We were there for the buffet meal and it was a blast. There was a large selection of food and drinks, soft drinks are included in the price. The service is also great. We'd love to come back.

Ein sehr großes China-Buffet Restaurant im Industriegebiet am Stadtrand. Großer Parkplatz vor dem Eingang. An Wochenenden besser reserieren, immer voll. Das Buffet ist sehr umfangreich und die Speisen sind alle lecker. Die Softdrinks und Kaffee sind im Buffetpreis enthalten zum selberzapfen. An Sonntagen und Feiertagen ist das Buffet deutlich teurer als in der Woche. Man kann aber auch a-la-Carte essen. Eine Empfehlung wenn man in Erfurt ist, der Besuch hat sich gelohnt.

I highly recommend this restaurant

Great atmosphere, great staff, great service, great offer

Very tasty... Large selection...nice service

We always enjoy the buffet here. Huge selection and super tasty 😋

Four stars just because it's a matter of taste. If you like raw fish, this is the place for you. Very crowded and cramped but otherwise ok. You should make a reservation and as far as I have seen there is only a buffet.

Only usable for buffet, service and atmosphere as well as orders from the menu are unbearable. Menu online not current!

What a madhouse...deafening. The food was a disaster...cold, unseasoned...what can you say...absolute mass production. The menu online is old, it doesn't match reality. It couldn't be worse.

The best place I've eaten. Non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price.

Was there with family. Great offer. All thumbs up

Very loud, but great selection of food

I'm extremely disappointed after all the positive reviews here online. The food wasn't good at all. I tried everything possible and everything tasted really weird. I don't have the greatest demands, but the sauces (no matter which ones and the fried noodles) were subterranean in taste. The spring rolls had zero vegetables in them and the baked cauliflower was just mushy. The chest was broken and very disgusting. This is the first restaurant where we as a family decided not to go again.

It was very nice again at any time......was very tasty.....lots of choice....price performance top.....service very nice and accommodating.....everything was fine, I can only recommend it

Good location right on the main road towards Weimar and Erfurt City. Parking lot right in front of the door, everything was quite spacious, you sit with enough distance. We were greeted very friendly and we were assigned a nice table. The selection and preparation of the dishes was very successful. We tested the lunch buffet and found it very tasty. The sanitary rooms were clean and had enough space for guests. We'd love to come back!

Always worth a visit. There is a good selection of dishes, there are no empty bowls. Delicious food, lovely staff and a nice ambience. Big advantage: reservations are actually always possible at short notice.🙃👍

Simply excellent. Everything was super tasty and great. It's a shame we only discovered it now. The operating robots are also absolutely worth seeing.

Top service, unbeatable price and great selection! I was at a Chinese restaurant at lunchtime with three people and we enjoyed an all-you-can-eat offer with a drinks flat rate for just 17.50 euros per person. The service was really first class - got a table straight away, no waiting times, and the process was extremely organized. The plates were cleared quickly and the staff were consistently friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and completely enough to fill everyone up. We were particularly impressed by the drinks flat rate: In addition to Cola, Fanta, Sprite, Diet Coke, water and apple spritzer, there are two large coffee machines where you can freshly prepare latte macchiato, espresso, coffee and more - all included. Unbeatable for this price! A great lunch special with top service and great value for money. We'll definitely be back!

Given its size, it is so comfortably furnished and the tables are nicely separated from each other by room dividers.

The buffet is definitely very extensive, but I wouldn't say there is something for everyone. Vegetarians will find it difficult to get anything on their plate other than pasta, rice and baked cauliflower. Tofu is actually an everyday food, especially in Asia. On our first visit we got some when we asked, on the second visit we were ignored without any response. Even the beans have bacon on them. I don't want everything to be tailored to my needs, but I can definitely make a few compromises without anyone feeling disadvantaged. There may be just one alternative. Otherwise, we were probably there at a busy time, it was full, you were bumped into several times at the buffet, both by customers and waiters who simply elbowed you in the side to force their way.

All in all a great experience. Very quick and friendly service, excellent food which also tastes very good. The buffet offers a huge selection in all directions, including vegetarian! I would eat there again in a heartbeat and at any time.

Everything was great as always. Unfortunately, the reservation from 12 p.m. didn't arrive at reception until 1 p.m., even though it was clarified by phone. Unfortunately there are all kinds of cafes but no cocoa for children😭, my daughter didn't think it was that good. The food was always out of stock at the buffet but was returned quite quickly. Hardly anyone else offers All You Can Drink any competition at this price. The chicken wings weren't a hit this time, they were somehow overly seasoned and tasted strange. I've found the peanut sauce better elsewhere and it was very fatty (yes nuts are fatty but there's another way). The ice cream could only be removed with an ice cream spoon and that was true for all types. Then the glass bowls for the ice cream all looked dirty but were just very worn out. There are no latte macchiato spoons, only small spoons. I also thought it was a shame that there was no sushi for lunch. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is very loud and you are not really isolated in your group of tables as is possible in other Chinese restaurants. Children often need straws because they are only given out in cardboard. This not only changes the taste, but glass straws would be an alternative and even better for the environment. Personally, I don't have any alternatives for drying my hands in the toilet because it has been proven that hand dryers like hairdryers are a bacteria killer. Parking spaces are rather rare at lunchtime, especially when there are people who park at an angle like small children sleep in an XXL box spring bed at night. The staff was very friendly. So it sounds bad overall, but if you go out for a buffet meal and the rest was okay to good, I would recommend it. You can only get better with tips and criticism, but 4 out of 5 is something.

I give it 4 stars even if not everything was great today! A very friendly man at the reception where you can talk easily and you have the feeling that he really listens😀 I can only recommend going there!

Great food temple with countless Asian delicacies, no one leaves here hungry.

We were there for the first time yesterday, 6 adults and a child, and we were there just after half past five, just after it opened, that was a mistake! There were crowds of people at the buffet (concept (I didn't know that before): food and non-alcoholic drinks as well as hot drinks for €30 per person; in the end it was a great thing), although there was a huge selection of starters, main courses and desserts, sushi and soups, it was a huge crowd at first (but our son was hungry!), so it was better to come half an hour later, from then on it was relaxed. Food is replenished immediately, is hot, tasty and has something for every taste (veggie, etc.). The service is nice and quick and the atmosphere, despite the size, is very nice.

The service was simply great, the food was very tasty and, above all, there was a lot of good selection. Price performance simply unbeatable! The toilets were also very clean!

Absolute disappointment. The food is fried to death and everything tastes bitter like fat. Absolutely not recommended. The stomach pains start right away. Even the fruit at dessert appears to have been treated with some kind of preparation and tastes like it has been bathed in vinegar. The only thing that is tolerable are the drinks, although after this experience I wouldn't be surprised if they also tasted like fat and vinegar. With the disgusting taste and meat with all the cartilage and fat still attached, it is a disgrace that they charge €5 per uneaten plate. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

The food is far too greasy and not at all edible. This is the most disgusting food I have ever eaten in my life. It made me sick to my stomach and I just threw up. It was really disgusting. It's a disgrace to charge for uneaten plates because you can't eat them as much fat as there was on them. Whoever cooked this is the worst cook in the world. Far too much and simply indigestible. The servants are rude and ask you to eat the greasy stuff. The fish is just dry and bad. The cucumbers are the worst, they just add salt and vinegar to them. That tasted sickening. The worst restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If your stomach pleases you, stay as far away from the restaurant as possible. For this price per person at the buffet, this is an outrage. Once and never again.

We've been there a few times and each time we've been a little disappointed. Once a waitress told us that we had to eat everything on the plate. Another time she said that we were only allowed to have the buffet, even though we wanted to order something from the menu. Last time I visited, the grill employee told me I wasn't allowed to take that many mussels (I only took four for eight people). The dishes are really delicious, but we were disappointed by the behavior of the staff. Maybe that's why we'll never go back.

Food was tasty & sufficient. I was missing a few warm vegetables. But otherwise top value for money.

Buffet food includes soft drinks.

Good but not 5 stars. Very friendly, courteous lady who served. Positively worth mentioning is the electric charging station in front of the restaurant. After dinner the car was fully loaded

A big thank you to the service team with their robot cats. “Meow” 😋 I have rarely eaten so deliciously for such a good price. Thank you for making this evening so extraordinary for us. I would have liked to eat more of your delicious dishes. However, when you are full, you are full. The constantly freshly prepared food without having to wait long and the whole ambience is simply great. Thanks again. I would like to come back with my family

Let's put it this way: The food and selection is plentiful, but sometimes very greasy and overly seasoned. Sometimes you always have the feeling of being “sticky”. The ambience is nicely decorated, but quite loud. We've been there several times and know what we're getting into. It's a shame that the children's corner no longer exists, but understandable as it was always very chaotic and loud there.

Mass processing at a terrible cafeteria level.

Very big, so there are a lot of people, but it gets lost. Just under €31 per person for a buffet including non-alcoholic drinks is ok.

I just thought it was delicious.

Unfortunately, the buffet food was very disappointing, we were looking forward to the "experience buffet" and were bitterly disappointed. Maybe our expectations were a bit high when you read something like that, but it definitely wasn't an experience.. Unfortunately, the food was just okay, the drinks from the dispenser were only satisfactory for the price and the glasses were rather small. All in all, it seems more like mass processing at the economy level, which is a shame because the ambience is really good.

Very crowded due to the prices. It is more pleasant during the week

Be there early, otherwise there will be a shortage of places. Everything your palate desires is there.

Nice atmosphere, but the staff seemed annoyed. You have to watch your plate, as soon as it is empty it will be taken away. Shortly after eating, I got stomach cramps and had to go to the toilet urgently... My son had the same thing when he got home. I won't go there anymore.

We went to the pavilion for a buffet meal as a group and had a very pleasant evening overall. The table reservation was easy and everything was very clean - both the dining area and the buffet. The various dishes were regularly refilled and the table service was very attentive. Used dishes were cleared away quickly and the service was always polite. In terms of taste, the food was okay, but not quite perfect - hence a small star deduction. The buffet is definitely recommended for a meeting with friends or colleagues, as the selection is large and the atmosphere is pleasant. Overall, a solid restaurant with great service and a good buffet offering!

Perfect everything! Good buffet food with everything that goes with it!!

I think it's too big, which makes everything very hectic with all you can eat. You feel like you're in an open-plan restaurant, ala Burger King and the like. But it's all a matter of taste.

The food was very tasty, but there was very little vegetarian choice for the main courses and there was no tofu :(

Were there yesterday in a larger group because 6 people canceled and we lost track a bit 😅 The food was really great, just a bit overcrowded. The parking spaces need to be expanded somewhat. Overall it was very relaxed 👍

Delicious menu, large selection. Everything is there. Completely organized. The pavilion is packed with bags. Nice and attentive service. Back soon.

As always, the food was fantastic and the staff friendly. Thanks for that! What more could you want?! We'd love to come back!

Food a la buffet is average, for those who like "all you can eat" it may be heaven, but the use of materials is commensurate with the final price. Mass instead of class that satisfies the German palate. Nothing exceptional about the food, but the service is friendly and quick, the robots are funny. If you want to be full and have few demands, this is the right address.

Chinese buffet, something different, plentiful and varied...

Great restaurant in itself, the food is delicious 😋 The selection is also large and sufficient. But unfortunately this is not a family-friendly restaurant, no children's corner for the children. :( It was very tiring with small children there without anything to paint or anything to play with. There used to be a children's corner there, but unfortunately there is no longer one. So if you have children, please take toys with you. We would go there again. 👍

Very courteous staff, the food was simply great

Food was ok, the dessert offered wasn't that good. In summary: Anyone who likes an overly full cafeteria feel will be happy here. If you expect a cozy evening with Chinese, you should look for another restaurant.

I went there with two friends and from first sight the waitress was rude and unfriendly to us! She was staring at us and every time she checked us and at last she said that I am not allowed to taste my friend’s food and told my friends to stop bringing food!!!! This was a really bad experience for us and I will never come back to this restaurant again! P.s: the restaurant smells like burnt chicken and fish!

Great restaurant. The buffet is awesome. Simply delicious and always fresh with a lot of choice (kangaroo and shark meat). Drinks come via robot. Toilet clean and tidy. Parking directly in front of the house also for electric cars. At the end there are fortune cookies for everyone when they pay. Can really recommend. We'd love to come back.

Extensive buffet. Soft drinks and hot drinks included in the price. The food was delicious. Staff friendly. Parking spaces are free and sufficient.

That's all I'm saying: stay away from the noodles. Spaghetti has nothing to do with Asian cuisine. But otherwise everything was perfectly fine. Unfortunately it was very loud in the restaurant, but the operator can't do anything about that.

Rich selection, fair price, but unfortunately the dishes on offer were only lukewarm. Still an experience again

Food from the buffet varied and tasty and inexpensive. On the weekend it is a little more expensive but that's ok.

Huge buffet where everything tastes good.

Selection was okay but could be better. Unfortunately no sushi like in all the advertising photos. Just fried sushi. After 1 p.m., nothing was refilled when it was empty, so there was less choice than there already was. Maybe clear away stacked boxes over the roof of the bar, it doesn't look neat and messy. I can recommend a chocolate fountain even with a white chocolate drawer!

Good buffet prices quite high on weekends. It's okay for lunch during the week

The buffet in the restaurant really impressed me! The food was all fresh and very tasty, with a wide range of dishes to suit all tastes. I found it particularly positive that coffee and other drinks were included in the price - a great extra! The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was friendly. Overall, a very successful visit and I would be happy to come back.

We ate wonderfully! Everything tasted very good! Recommended! You can choose everything yourself at the buffet. The variety of drinks is very good! At the end there was an espresso which was great! Everyone friendly! We'll be back!!

The buffet was extensive and was constantly being refilled. Everything we ate tasted good. The service was quick and friendly. Despite the large room, the background noise was pleasant.

Food delicious, varied and plentiful. Non-alcoholic drinks and coffee are included in the buffet price.

If someone thinks the price of 30 euros for a fresh buffet is high, I invite you to try the Turkish kebab made from cat meat, I give it 5 stars because everything is great

Great food, if you get some of each you can reach the buffet price. Drinks don't taste good, some kind of syrup. Nice and friendly service
