Chinarestaurant Pavillon in Erfurt

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.

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 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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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

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

We have eaten here several times and would love to come back. The food is super tasty and the atmosphere is really nice and the employees are all very friendly. Buffett is replenished promptly and there is plenty of choice.

After the second price increase in 2024, the lunch buffet on Sundays now costs 30.50/adult and 15.50 for children up to 11 years of age and the abolition of the halved prices for alcoholic drinks meant that the restaurant was not even half full at lunchtime at the best eating time. Completely excessive for what is offered. The staff often just stands around, doesn't see when you make their presence known, and ignores the guests. The roast beef was always good, but now it's fried in such a spicy sauce that it really takes your breath away. At the chocolate fountain it's just cheap couverture, nothing like it was. The restaurant is no longer recommended, there are definitely better, cheaper ones in Erfurt.

Great concept, few staff but drinks included with your meal including coffee, you get what you want to eat and drink and you pay for it when you go out.

We were there for the Saturday buffet. All in all, we enjoyed it well, the selection wasn't huge, but everything tasted good and we got our money's worth, especially in terms of desserts. The ambience was also very nice, everything was tidy and clean - you can definitely do that, but of course, from a culinary point of view it's an all you can eat buffet.

Food very fresh and tasty. Price/performance ratio top. An all-round carefree package.

There is less and less choice and the quality gets worse every time. It's a shame but I can't recommend it anymore

We came here to eat sushi... on Friday at 12:50 there was no more sushi, and they were no longer added... with great disappointment and sadness we are going home without having eaten anything tasty Added 1 star for delicious kimchi But overall we didn't get what we wanted.

The food and service was great, I can only recommend it to everyone. You should just have patience and perseverance for the buffet as it is very full and it might take a while to reach your table again. But the taste makes up for it. It is very loud due to its size.

Delicious food for everyone, whether young or old, highly recommended

Super tasty... Highly recommended

Great food, nice service and very well attended! Still no queues at the buffet. The offer is so varied and in many flavors. The desserts were tasty. All highly recommended, order seats to be on the safe side!

Great food for a very good price

Unfortunately the quality is declining. For just under 26 euros per person at the buffet and then empty containers, even though someone from the staff is constantly checking, it's really not nice.

Food very good. Very nice restaurant

Very nice of them and the food is very tasty 👍👍👍

The food tasted really delicious and the selection is varied. Non-alcoholic drinks and coffee specialties are included in the buffet price. Despite the good selection of food, I find the price a bit excessive, especially on the weekend. The tables could have been cleared more often, but that wasn't a big deal. We would be happy to visit the restaurant again.

In short: not bad, but not good either

Well, mass processing. Maybe it's a matter of taste, but it's not mine.

The inside is very nice, but the food tastes like it has been sitting for three days and is very spongy and salty.

mega delicious buffet, we really enjoy coming here.

Great restaurant, wonderful staff, divine cuisine

We went to good to go to pick up yesterday and I was very disappointed. Normally, To good to Go is, yes, a nice thing. You don't have to throw away the food and you still get money for it. But from the staff it came across differently. Very unfriendly and condescending. Food was OK. You weren't allowed to have sushi, salad or dessert. I will no longer save food there in the future.

Always my pleasure. Everything just tastes very good 👍 Thank you.

Good buffet Chinese, great value for money, especially at lunchtime during the week!

I read entries here complaining about the price...people please think about it! Where can you get starters, main courses and desserts including drinks until you vomit?

It was our first time eating here and at the aforementioned experience buffet. The first impression was simply amazing, the selection of food and the quality were simply world class. The service and friendliness is at a high level, even when the house is full. The entire team is unbeatable. The cleanliness is top, with the rush of customers it's a really great achievement. Even the surface of the decoration is dust-free. We will definitely come back. Thanks to you

Super delicious!!! Really friendly service and great atmosphere! My new favorite restaurant.

Great restaurant. Friendly service. Food excellent. Highly recommended

A well-kept and pleasant restaurant, the ambience is appropriate and very appealing. The food is very tasty and there is a very large selection at the buffet. There is something for every taste. We went to the restaurant in the evening and there were special delicacies like kangaroo, squid, mussels and the like. The staff is very friendly, nice and quick. The highlight is the robot that brought the drinks to the tables and, on other occasions, also transported the cleared dishes back to the kitchen. The restaurant is a really good recommendation!

A special kind of dining experience... Ate the buffet and absolutely loved it! From shark and kangaroo to eight treasures and beef to duck, vegetables and the like. There is something for everyone. Sushi, mussels, shrimps. Fried baked stewed. Cake, ice cream, jelly. Always fresh. Never empty. No waiting times. This is an absolute blast. The prices are completely okay. Only the huge crowds sometimes make it a bit noisy. But it is fully air-conditioned and you sweat a maximum (in summer) from alcohol or spicy food! :-) Clear recommendation

We have never experienced such a rich buffet in any Chinese restaurant we have ever encountered. The Dishes were fresh, indescribably delicious, from starters to countless main courses, desserts, coffee and numerous non-alcoholic drinks. There was also a robot birthday serenade with a little surprise. Thank you. We've been there several times now and none of this has changed you. We were and have always been very satisfied.

There should be "occupied" signs at the table so that other people don't sit at the table when you get food. That was really annoying. This is not well thought out.

Food is honestly bad. Way too salty, the reason why most things in the buffet are salty is so that you eat less and drink more. So it's dishonorable. Who does something like that?

Food containers were rarely refilled. Quality of the food mediocre. Too expensive for the buffet price.

Unfortunately, this visit disappointed us. The quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. The food was not refilled after 8 p.m. We have been here several times and over time the quality has deteriorated more and more.

Good selection and the food tastes 8/10, overall good value for money

Absolutely good, clean, tidy, friendly 😊. Very good + lots of different kinds of food. Friendly staff.

Recommended....well located on Weimarer Straße next to OBI and REAL with a large parking lot and a rich buffet....all non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price and all for under 20 €⁹

Everything is wonderful and it tastes excellent, I can recommend it, it's a great restaurant

Super friendly staff and the robot 🤖 that delivers the drinks is always there to have fun, the food is good and the price is great

Very large selection, high demand, better to order in advance, lots of guests

Great price-performance ratio Tastes great and a large selection

The staff is remarkably very nice. The food is delicious and varied, and the quality is very reasonable for the price, in addition to the beautiful atmosphere and decor

The evening buffet leaves nothing to be desired, the staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! Always happy.

Really great restaurant, huge selection of food and very tasty

Very tasty and plenty of choice.

Have been here many times, but this time for lunch for the first time. Conclusion: The price-performance ratio is significantly better at lunchtime. Salmon, shrimp and a few other things were missing. But everything else was there in the usual quality. I think you can definitely handle that given the price difference (17 to 30 euros) in the evening. Bonus: While it is very loud in the evening when the restaurant is full, it is pleasantly quiet at lunchtime because it is only half full. Next time we'll probably be here again for lunch.

Very friendly, very tasty, quick refills and even the dog got his place....gladly again
