Chinarestaurant Yan in Weil am Rhein

They scattered their business cards all over our street, littering it. Not good advertising! Update: After an unreasonable and unempathetic response that showed absolutely no understanding for the litter bearing your name, here are more pictures. I suggest you express your disappointment that your business cards are lying around, apologize for your lack of care regarding your property, and take steps to prevent this from happening again. Then I will remove the review and the pictures.

If you don't finish your food: You have to pay a fine. If you don't order enough to drink: You have to pay a fine.

We made a reservation for 6-8 people for a memorial service for our mother/grandmother. Since we're coming from Lake Constance, the drive is quite long. I find it completely unacceptable that the reservation was accepted, only for us to arrive at the agreed-upon time to find the restaurant closed. There was only a sign on the door stating that the restaurant was closed due to renovations, which are taking longer than expected. I don't understand why they don't have the capacity to inform customers who have made reservations so that we wouldn't have to drive 200 km for nothing, or so that we could rearrange our plans. We've often celebrated our mother/grandmother's memorial service there before, but we certainly won't be returning; we're so disappointed.

Simple, affordable and great staff!

Now too expensive, dreary atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the selection was good. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Yes, definitely, a varied and diverse buffet for self-service.

I was here for the first time on Saturday afternoon. The buffet looked very inviting, well-organized, and clean. The drinks selection was excellent. The price/performance ratio is excellent at 18.90.

My sister and I really enjoyed our meal there. All the dishes were refilled immediately, the service was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious. We'd love to go back!

I know this restaurant from before, and I thought the food was OK. This time, I didn't like it at all. Everything was just lukewarm, with a lot of stuff in the batter. I think that's it for me. No

My son and I paid €27.50 per person for the buffet, and for that, the selection of dishes (starters, main courses, side dishes, desserts, sushi, ice cream, sweets, etc.) was exceptionally large. There was also a fresh food counter where you could have ingredients prepared directly by the chef (although we didn't try it). The space is very spacious, so you should be able to find a seat even with a large group. The service was very friendly, and overall, we felt comfortable in the restaurant. We weren't always satisfied with the quality and taste of some (!) dishes (and especially the sauces); we've eaten at better Chinese restaurants. The mango lemonade (pictured) I had, on the other hand, was truly delicious!

Yes, the food was as good as the price/performance ratio

The selection wasn't bad, but there are 10 better stores I could name. The service was catastrophic.

The food here is a disgrace. The water was good.

We are very grateful for the way you treat us (and our two children). The food is truly fresh and delicious. The service is excellent and the staff is very friendly, which is why we always enjoy coming here.

I came here with my friends and didn't expect the food to be so good.

The food was very good, you feel very comfortable here and I find the decoration very nice

The food was very good. A delicious all-you-can-eat buffet.

A free cocktail for a review is something you can't miss. The food was good, worth it.

A very enriching and delicious buffet. The lemonades are also excellent. We'll be back. Thank you!

The food was great as always and the cocktail idea was also great!

Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere, I can only recommend

The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The service was also friendly and attentive, which made the visit very pleasant. Unfortunately, the condition of the building mars the overall impression. A renovation or at least a refresh would be desirable to do justice to the great food and service.

From a favorite restaurant to a disappointing farewell Three months ago, I discovered the Chinese restaurant Yan – and was immediately impressed. As someone who had a complete gastrectomy (my stomach was COMPLETELY removed due to a tumor), it's extremely difficult for me to find suitable restaurants. But here, I felt understood: They accommodated me with their prices, as I can only eat tiny portions. The food was solid, the atmosphere pleasant, and I felt truly comfortable. I ate there at least 9-10 times in those three months – which is a lot for me. I took my time, ate a little, waited, and slowly got the next plate. Never large portions, never "buffering," but rather adapted to my situation. That's exactly why I was so grateful for the restaurant – and have recommended it to everyone. Today, however, came the big disappointment: After the meal, I was suddenly informed that I would have to pay the full price from now on – even though my situation hadn't changed. No word beforehand, no explanation, simply a comment "decided by the boss." That's not only disappointing, but unfortunately also unprofessional. I've never eaten large portions, several tablespoons, but always very small, mini-portions spread out over a longer period of time – which is necessary due to my medical condition. Now charging the full buffet price, even though I'm well below average in terms of quantity, is incomprehensible to me. Even toddlers eat more than I do! Unfortunately, the restaurant has lost a loyal customer. There are plenty of other Chinese restaurants with comparably good food and a better understanding of special life situations. What bound me to Yan – the feeling of being seen and respected – was suddenly gone. And yes, as I said, that's unfortunately the end of the Yan chapter for me. That's how you lose your regular customers. What a pity! Addendum to the original review: Thank you for your response. I would like to respond briefly, as I can't let your description stand – especially in light of my health situation. Yes, I've had a full gastrectomy – and yes, I often eat small amounts because there's no other option. That's exactly why I was with you for over three hours and ate a total of six small plates. And because I work with my nutrition coach (or nutrition assistant), I document each meal with a photo – so we can analyze together what I can tolerate. I've now added these pictures to my review. If you look at the photos, you'll see: those were mini portions. Sometimes just a bit of salad, two gummy bears, or three pasta dishes with vegetables. I just don't eat much – but I eat slowly and in moderation. If you now claim that I "significantly exceeded the limits" of the buffet, that's simply not correct. I think the photos speak for themselves. I followed the rule discussed: small portions – spread out over time. Of course, I understand that goodwill is based on trust. But trust works both ways. And I'm disappointed that my behavior is being misrepresented, even though I kept to our agreement—just as I did on my previous visits. Look at the photos. Honestly consider whether this looks to you like taking advantage of the buffet—or like someone simply trying to live with dignity and discipline after major surgery and limitations. Second addendum: Wow, what a nerve. To suggest I'm lying or cleared the plates myself 😡 The photos I uploaded show exactly what I ate. Nothing more, nothing less. I carefully document every meal because, after a full gastrectomy, I have to closely monitor what my body can tolerate. And my son is only 2.

Great place for fussy eaters as there is a variety of different dishes. A good price for the all you can eat Asian buffet. Tasty meals and very good cocktails. When you want a reasonably priced meal for 1 or more people

good food, we sat outside, the outdoor layout could be worked on, some waiters seemed to not want to be there

Some food items were better than others. The sushi, crispy chicken and duck were good. Stir fries were average. Best come with a big appetite because the price is steep at nearly 30 euros a head plus drinks.

Everything was wonderful! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Once and never again. For three children aged 6-8, they charge 15.90 euros. When I asked the lady about it, she became aggressive and started yelling. She then said that you pay exactly the same at McDonald's. My sister-in-law was also given a hard time by her. I think it's outrageous to charge 15.90 euros for children who eat for less than 10 euros. It just goes to show us how unfriendly everything has become towards children. We will never go to that store again. The lady at the checkout should take a course on how to deal with customers and how to speak properly. When she became aggressive, I turned my back on her, went to the exit and she yelled through the whole store. The internet says that children aged 3-11 pay between 8.90 and 21.90 euros. They set the prices as they see fit! One 3-year-old child was even charged 8.90 euros.

It was a great atmosphere, definitely worth coming here. The food was fresh and quite delicious.

We came here for dinner and it was simply amazing, and the quality was also excellent! I recommend everyone stop here and eat.

The lighting in the evening was a little off putting. The food on the other hand was absolutely delicious 😋 and the staff was very friendly & kind! We were very impressed with their hospitality & great quality food! ❤️ it was so delicious we forgot to take pictures & the robot made us laugh!

We're at Restaurant Yan today as a couple and are thrilled with the diverse buffet! The value for money is simply outstanding! There's something for everyone here! Kids and adults alike.

Gutes all you can eat Restaurant

Awesome server robot. Sushi 10/10. Beer was super fresh too.

Cool service robot, good selection.

The food was very tasty and had enough choice

I have been here twice — and that’s already enough to say the food is amazing! Everything was tasty and fresh. And most importantly it’s close to the railway station

It is very tasty and the staff was super nice.

Quiet atmosphere, good service, and the fried pineapple with sweet and sour sauce is highly recommended.

I went for dinner, very varied selection of dishes, friendly staff, well equipped and very good grill area, large selection of desserts

Very tasty, very friendly staff

The ambiance is wonderful, and the robot service is a welcome change from the usual restaurant experience. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere! Wide selection of dishes. Very tasty.

Such a nice place and very nice staff 👍it's really great here

Warm food and very tasty nice ambience

Was there years ago it was terrible, very bad quality

Very tasty and reasonably priced all-you-can-eat. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff is very friendly. Thank you.

Very well maintained and delicious, would love to come back

Very tasty Chinese restaurant and Halal, Gracias🙏

We both had a buffet for about 19 euros per person. There was a good selection of savory and sweet dishes, including sushi. The service was friendly, and we enjoyed the food.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went to the Chinese restaurant Yan in Weil – simply fantastic! The food was excellent, freshly prepared, and full of flavor. I was particularly impressed by the homemade lemonade – absolutely perfect and refreshing! The service was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Proper sushi and nice meat. I loved the ice cream flavors, I ate 5 scoops + cream on top + chocolate syrup on top of the cream. Gangster style. Now I’m gonna drink my cocktail. Love it, thank you ! 谢谢

best restaurant ever I am about to come here every day all day my nephew didnt eat please no charge him

Large selection of food and it is always freshly made

The dinner buffet costs the same for vegetarians as for those who eat meat and fish. It's simply disproportionate. There are no breaded or baked vegetables, but mainly a self-assembled selection, along with rice, noodles, a bowl of vegetables, and one with mushrooms. I had already mentioned on a previous visit that I found it disappointing, whereupon I was offered the option of having breaded vegetables fried for me. I thought that was a generous gesture, and I was already pleased when the regular vegetables from the buffet were brought out on a plate and I was told that was all they could offer. I was somehow naively hoping that on a Saturday evening the buffet would be differently stocked and I might actually have a chance to get prepared vegetarian dishes. I can't tell you how much I like them. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, which is why I'd like to try the many other buffets. I've learned my lesson and won't try it again at this restaurant. Over €30 (on weekends and in the evenings, and drinks are mandatory—if you don't order a drink, you'll be charged a flat rate) doesn't sound right to me at all. It's not about the money at all, but purely about the disproportionate number of different meat and fish dishes, along with those without meat.

The food was very good and everything was very clean, the only negative thing was that there was only one girl cleaning, tidying up, serving and also cooking on the grill. The truth is that with the prices they have, they could at least hire more staff... the girl, despite being stressed, treated us very well and was quick with everything :) thanks!

Highly recommended! Perfect value for money!

It's great, food is great, everything is great

The food was great every time, the service was very friendly and attentive.

Food super good and lots of choice

Nice ambience and delicious food

Waited 10 minutes. Zero staff around. No waitress or anyone around. Two other group of guest were wandering around asking each other how is it working. Avoid the place as the staff is not exist until you have to pay!

I have eaten there twice and I even made the sushi there tasty for my partner. We like going there and will go there more often.

Compliments to the operator. Food is far too important to waste. Many people forget that there are millions of people in the world who don't have enough to eat.

Always fresh, always friendly and attentive staff. I enjoy eating here because it offers a very good selection. The beef is excellent.

Cheap food, with a manageable selection of ingredients at the Tepanjaki Grill

The food was very good, the service was very attentive and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The presentation of the buffet was very attractive and the price was very reasonable. A place I would definitely visit again!

Very good place, food is fresh, quite some choice. i like the sushis

All I can say is that the food is great, the selection is always freshly prepared and if something is empty it is refilled straight away. Table service is very friendly. Everything is simple in the store, you don't need to change it, you can stay the way you want. The price is also very good because you can celebrate your birthday and so on. So I would recommend that

Perfect, we really liked it 😊 Enjoy your meal!

Nice restaurant, very cozy, great food!

The foods are ok. Service is quite slow. The atmosphere is still at 1980s Chinese restaurant vibe. As soon as you go in, you could smell this horrendous food smell. Not many choices.

The seafood is not bad but the Asian food buffet was missing many dishes. The price was somewhat expensive for a weekday.

Very fine food. Highly recommended as you can try different courses with different sauces. The all you can eat is absolutely recommended! Very nice service.

Me and my friend enjoy eating here. The food is very good and the staff are nice.

Delicious food and friendly service!

Everything was great, friendly service, great food with plenty of choice. Gladly again🫶

The buffet has a large selection. The food is cheap and unfortunately leaves something to be desired. Ideal for hungry customers, provided they don't have stomach problems. A single visit is enough of an experience for us. Thank you to the service team for their efforts.

Fantastic, food was excellent, lots of choice 👍

Wir sind mit unseren Töchtern nach einem Ausflug im Yan essen gegangen. Die Auswahl ist vielseitig, das Essen schmecht, das Personal sehr freundlich und die Preise fair. Das „Teppanyaki“, bzw. mogolischer Grill war sehr guet, viel verschiedenes Gemüse, Fleisch und Meeresfrüchte und auch gute Saucen machen es zu einem tollen Erlebnis. Wir werden wieder kommen und empfehlen das Yan gerne weiter.

The selection for the grill isn't very diverse, it had more fish than meat, but the grill is great and the food isn't as hot as the buffet, rather lukewarm to cold, but very tasty

We like to come for lunch. The food is always very good and the service is very nice

Rating note: The visit was unsatisfactory. The reception was inadequate and there was no introduction to the restaurant. The cleanliness was acceptable, but the quality of the food was clearly below average and the flavor was poorly seasoned. Compared to other restaurants (e.g. Temanja in Lörrach), this restaurant offers a significantly lower quality; Even the food supply at the Lörrach Clinic appears to be superior. This is my personal assessment.

Nice and clean restaurant. Good and rich buffet. Lots of seats and yet enough distance between the individual tables. The only downside was it was a bit cold. But we'll be back :)

You think that an almost 5 star restaurant is all lies so that you get a free cocktail for writing a good review. I personally didn't like anything, there are much better Chinese restaurants in the area than here. Food is only refilled when it is completely empty, the selection is very minimal, the staff is never smiling, the atmosphere was simply not good and, above all, the price is far too much for such a restaurant.

Very great restaurant! Service very good and very friendly food top! Everything is great!

The food is very tasty and the employees are very nice.

Very tasty, especially the sushi

I really liked it, duck was delicious.

We have been coming to the buffet dinner regularly with the whole family for six years and have always been completely satisfied ❣️

1 star because 0 not possible. Food is atrocious, overpriced. I do not recommend it to anyone !

This restaurant was absolutely not what we thought. It’s expensive!!!!! Never again. The service was good but the food wasn’t worth the price. It’s my honest opinion. Yes, they gave my kids a discount but it’s in their policy.

It was a great buffet, something for everyone. Very tasty and fresh. Can recommend it...

Very nice atmosphere☺️ Lots of choice for young and old, always something there🍱🍜 I would love to come back again and again 🍣❤️

Food was fantastic. Sushi freshly made and nice and “creamy” There was something for young and old (including my 8m old daughter) Service was great! Very friendly and extremely fond of children. Lots of high chairs available. Clean.

Simply great, the MA, the boss, the food, the prices are great... I think it's very good to eat here at this time and I can really recommend it to everyone...

I liked everything and am very satisfied with the service. The food tastes very good and I recommend it to everyone

Unfortunately it is far too expensive for what is on offer. The selection is very limited and the quality is not good. The staff tries hard. Unfortunately we were disappointed overall.

Top food, top service, top prices
