Colala in Baden-Baden

Everything's good, tastes very good, there's a selection.

The food was okay, but the waitstaff didn't come to ask if we wanted anything else to drink.

The food was truly awful. The sushi was bone dry, there was heavy mold in the toilets, and I had terrible diarrhea after dinner. We're not coming back. I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow, Monday, because I apparently have tapeworms in my colon. I think I'll report it to the doctor. You have to take this seriously. I'm completely serious. Please inform yourselves before you go to any all-you-can-eat restaurants. I beg you.

This has been our absolute favorite restaurant for a long time. We eat here every two to three months. The buffet is very large and varied, and the food is excellent. For us, it's the best Asian buffet restaurant in the entire area and beyond. The service and atmosphere are also very good, and the location is superb, as you can park for free at the Cite business park.

The food was really poor quality, very little choice, nothing worthwhile.

A very large selection of delicious dishes. They also offer made-to-order dishes that you can assemble yourself. Fast, friendly service, everything was very good. We'll gladly come again 🌷 Hi, we actually wanted to visit the 🌟 Christmas market 🌟 in Baden-Baden, but it was drizzling constantly, which can make you more susceptible to catching a cold 😔. So we quickly pulled out Plan B, changed our plans, and ended up having a lunch buffet. A very extensive selection, something for everyone 😋

A very large selection of food, beautifully presented (buffet). The price is okay... (buffet €25 in the evening); you can try a lot of things. The dining area seems friendly, but a bit impersonal. It's definitely worth it...

Been here twice now. Food good both times. Parking available on top of the mall. Very affordable.

Very good food....rich buffet....friendly & attentive staff.

A completely normal all-you-can-eat buffet, just frozen goods. If you're in a hurry, though, the prices are pretty steep. There are also good dishes from the menu, and the prices are reasonable.

Wide selection of food - highly recommended

Great, amazing what a selection

The food was very mediocre. When a buffet is offered and you have to pay €24.90 per person, you can expect more. It took a very long time for the hot dishes to be refilled. The value for money was by no means right here. We won't be coming back.

The food is good, but the staff is terrible… People like that shouldn't work in the restaurant industry. ✅

Nice place, food is verry good, nice seats, nice service. All at a reasonable price. Just overall a good experience.

We go there very often. It tastes delicious and we're always full. We're very satisfied. The owner is very nice and friendly. Keep it up!!! I can only recommend it 👌🏻

We come from Berlin and have known Asian cuisine for 25 years. In my opinion, the sauces are better in Berlin. The buffet is comparable to Mongolian buffets in the capital.

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The food wasn't warm and wasn't particularly tasty. The ice cream was already melting in the freezer.

Everything is great as already written.

No, I ordered a buffet plate, there was too much vegetables and little meat, as it is served you have no influence on what comes on the plate

Update: June 24, 2025 Prices are too expensive to just go there for a quick lunch, and even more expensive on the weekend, even though they only offer a few dishes. Prices are too high for poor quality frozen food that is offered in bulk at the supermarket. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. The price/performance ratio is simply not right here anymore. UPDATE: September 25, 2022 We visited the restaurant on Saturday lunchtime at 11:30 a.m. (before the coronavirus pandemic) and it was filling up slowly, so a reservation was completely unnecessary. About the food: Everything from fish to meat is edible, and they're always refilling it. Some of it might be a bit overseasoned, but that's a matter of taste. The vegetable and salad selection is also quite good and completely sufficient. Dessert: Fruit (depending on the season), ice cream, and cake. All in all, a great price for an all-you-can-eat lunch or dinner. If you want, you can also have something freshly stir-fried with various sauces and vegetables of your choice. (Mussels, shrimp, salmon, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and much more) We're glad this restaurant is open again. The prices have also gone up considerably. It's definitely not worth eating there anymore if you're not REALLY hungry. The staff is unchanged—neither friendly nor unfriendly. It's a family business, after all ^^ I think it's important that even the employees eat there, so there can't be anything bad about the food (quality, etc.)!!

Very nice background music, lots of food and very tasty, waiters are very polite and nice

The food wasn't good, some even cold, which wasn't worth for 15,90€ and we had a normal water that they charged us 4,50€, when they weren't even 0,5l, worst place I have been in my life.

Good restaurant, friendly service. The “ready meals” are sometimes in short supply or out. The “Mongolian Grill” is great, good selection. Gladly again.

Surprised by the quality and delicious! Very helpful staff thank you

I had read the negative reviews beforehand and still wanted to give the restaurant a fair chance – unfortunately, a big mistake. The food seemed carelessly thrown together, tasted disappointing, and definitely not fresh. The plates were old, some were chipped, and looked anything but clean. The service was also extremely unfriendly and seemed annoyed, as if the guest was being a nuisance. A place I definitely won't be visiting again. What a waste of time and money.

Very nice all-you-can-eat buffet and really worth the price! Definitely a recommendation

The food is average, and the dessert selection isn't great. What shocked me most, however, was the waiter's unfriendly manner. No "hello," no "please," no "thank you," no "goodbye." Impossible! You can be very stressed, but you can still show a certain amount of courtesy to your guests!

Very friendly staff, a huge selection of food and drinks! Everything was excellently prepared! Thank you! 😃

Great buffet, very tasty and everything at a great price

Very friendly place with a good welcome, the staff is friendly and professional. Large choice of dishes for the all-you-can-eat buffet formula, better quality than restaurants of the same type in France and at very reasonable prices. Very pleasant after shopping. I recommend

Well, it's not exactly a blast!

We have been to the restaurant several times. The choice is large enough for everyone to find something tasty for themselves. Great sweets and fruits. Everything is hot and fresh. There is a section with raw products.

Buffet is fresh and delicious. There are several different ingredients for Mongolian grill. Lots of free spaces. You still have to change opening times in Google. On weekends it is open non-stop from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Unfortunately, the boss is often unfriendly and all the other employees are very nice and friendly. Clean in the food department and tables. No children's room, but always child-friendly! Disabled people enter free.

The women's toilets didn't look good - they were either blocked, dirty or the door couldn't be locked. The criticism was not taken seriously; the restaurant had been open for two hours at the time of our visit. Otherwise you have to say about the food it was okay.

An Asian self-service restaurant. Located in the shopping center at the entrance to Baden-Baden, it benefits from easily accessible free parking. The place is spacious, rather quiet, the lunch price is reasonable, and the food, without being exceptional, is good. Vegetables, fish, meats, salads, there is a choice. No halal, requires speaking German and rustic toilets. Nothing exceptional but practical.

Very unfriendly staff and the food (ordered, not buffet) was totally tasteless.

It used to be much better, I recently ate there with my family and unfortunately I have to say that there was no salt or pepper everywhere and most of the dishes were simply cold and greasy. And how anyone came up with the idea of ​​placing a round table on a corner set is also a mystery to me.

The dishes are always freshly cooked. The selection at the buffet is large enough so that everyone could find something tasty for themselves.

Arrivé tardivement mais il y avait encore des clients. Resté 30mn dans le restaurant compte tenu de notre heure d’arrivée (vers 22h) Buffet plus de choix mais surtout des sushis sans aucune saveur. Un plat de poisson sans aucune saveur également. Un service déplorable. Le personnel discute à table sans s’occuper des clients et le pire désagréable du début à la fin du repas. La personne avec moi souhaitais régler 25 sur une addition d’un peu moins de 60 euros. Le serveur lui a pris sur sa cb la somme de 23,40 euros ! Et moi la différence. Nous n’avons pas compris pourquoi ce montant. En conclusions une expérience à ne pas renouveler.

The starter and main course were not cleared even though we were at dessert. NO CUTLERY ON TABLE. While all the waiters are all sitting around chatting. Poor buffet and unpleasant waiter. Quite surprising.

Leider war unser Besuch im Restaurant alles andere als zufriedenstellend. Der Kellner, ein kleiner älterer Herr, war extrem unfreundlich und unhöflich. Wir fühlten uns fast schon unerwünscht, da er uns nicht nur schlecht bedient hat, sondern auch keinerlei Interesse daran zeigte, unseren Wünschen nachzukommen. Eine freundliche und respektvolle Bedienung sollte in jedem Restaurant selbstverständlich sein, doch leider war das hier nicht der Fall. Ich hoffe, dass das Personal in Zukunft mehr Wert auf einen respektvollen Umgang mit den Gästen legt. Leider kann ich dieses Restaurant unter diesen Umständen nicht weiterempfehlen.

3 years ago it was something, but now it's a waste of every penny.

Unfortunately, the staff could do more to look after their guests. If you go through the table several times and you see the glasses are empty, you ask if you can have something else. You have to register yourself every time you want to order something.

We arrived for lunch at 2:00 p.m.... but be careful... it says they close at 3:00 p.m. but you can only serve yourself food until 2:30 p.m. Lousy.

Food was ok. Toilets a disaster full of mold, soap dispensers don't work, just disgusting. Staff was very unfriendly. You felt like you were constantly being watched with evil looks. You just didn't feel comfortable. We wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Great value for money in a clean environment

Food at the buffet, mostly cold or empty. Service could be improved.

Very good food, great price and a very nice staff! Thank you!

Anytime, buffet was delicious and plentiful

Good food, especially on weekends when there is live cooking. Unfortunately the staff is unfriendly and rude, despite tips. That's why many guests don't come anymore

Food: Totally greasy and inedible in taste. Poor quality. Disgusting preparation. Premises: Not maintained and dirty. I discovered a dead mouse under the benches on the wall. Toilets also unkempt and dirty. No recommendation! Should be reported to the health department. I hope they do a check there!

I've been a regular customer here for years, but not anymore as of today. Was going to the toilet and then the boss, with a bald head and glasses, came and peed and then just went out again WITHOUT washing his hands!!! DISGUSTING !!! In addition, you never get a receipt here, you simply show some amount on your cell phone calculator showing how much you have to pay. But the food was always very good.

Very good buffet and good price

Tastes good, clean and hygienic

This Chinese buffet is on of the best I have experienced. The variety of food available is amazing. Not only that but the quality of food is also great, most of it really fresh made and really tasty. The place is really large and there should not be a problem finding a table. The only negative I've had was with the service. The person serving our table was not courteous even after getting a really good tip. It made me regret giving a tip which is usually not required in Europe anyway. But the food makes up for this and you might get a better treatment next time you try this place.

You can eat well and tasty here. The service is very friendly and the price is right

Buffet is nice, but the food is usually already cold.

The store was disorganized and some of the food that had already gone bad was offered at the buffet. Unfortunately I had to experience an allergic reaction due to the quality of the seafood... Apart from the quality of the food, the taste was unfortunately not particularly convincing either. When paying, they simply asked for €10.10 too much without ever receiving an invoice or receipt. Unfortunately, I noticed the fraud/billing too late and therefore contacted my bank first. I hope to get the money back and never eat there again.

The employees were completely rude and racist.

Good service and very large selection

As a tourist, I had a long journey and was looking forward to the food. Ambiance & staff - cold reception by service staff. However, the restaurant itself is fine. I was one of the first guests, but had to alert the waitress several times that I wanted something to drink. I first sat at a single table, when I noticed a small spider climbing up and down directly above the table, I changed tables. One of the service staff noticed the change and brought me the napkin from the previous table with the words "Now sit here" Food - The first thing that was ready were chicken wings, chicken nuggets, fries, herb baguette and mini spring rolls. The wings weren't cooked through, the fries were soggy and unsalted and the herb baguette was just like you would expect from a discount store. When the real Asian dishes were finally ready (various types of meat with vegetables), which were exactly 4 mixed dishes and were placed on the all you can eat counter, they arrived lukewarm. In addition, there was very little choice in these dishes(4). The beef was lukewarm and not properly seasoned. Overall, the dishes were all lukewarm, some of the meat wasn't even cooked through and was inedible. I don't know if it's always like that in this LOCAL, but for me it was a big disappointment and that's my opinion. A kebab or a pizza would have been much more worthwhile both in terms of price and taste. Personally, I will never eat here again!

Super delicious food and lots of seafood :)

Le buffet du déjeuner est bon, pour 14€ 90. Nous y avons mangé à plusieurs reprises, mais là c'était la dernière fois. Nous avons payé par CB , ce qui n'a visiblement pas plu au serveur, qui nous a littéralement jeté les tickets sur la table, sans un regard est reparti de suite , pas de merci, pas d'au revoir!!

Great food, large selection and great staff.

Food tastes good only one thing the boss should come across as friendlier no smile no facial expressions it's a shame otherwise a good Chinese deducts the service just because the boss doesn't appear friendly

Super fresh and very tasty The only mango...a friendly face would be appropriate for the boss, she serves the food so unfriendly that you shouldn't come anymore

Ich komme seit Jahren in das Lokal Colala bin immer sehr zufrieden.Essen immer frisch und lecker ob Mittags oder Abends.Heute Abend komme ich auch mit Freunden.Herzlichst P.Willershausen

Went there again after a long time, but it had deteriorated a lot and we were disappointed. There is less choice when it comes to eating at lunchtime and sometimes the food is completely dried out. It had probably been sitting for a long time because the noodles were really dry and hard. The prices displayed on the website are no longer correct either. And the staff isn't exactly friendly or attentive either. When you pay, you simply type an amount into your cell phone and hold it in front of your nose. The waiter takes the money, turns around and simply leaves. He doesn't even say goodbye, I've never experienced anything like that.

I had dinner with my family, five people, and finding space was no problem. But what was noticeable was that the food, which you put together raw yourself and then get fried, took quite a long time in some places. It was Sunday afternoon and therefore very busy. The food, whether prepared or prepared, was all very good. Everyone was very satisfied.

Highly recommended. We will definitely eat there again

Doesn’t take credit card, beer is like water

It says open until 11 p.m. but at 10:38 p.m. it’s already closed!

We used to love going here after the shopping center opened. The fresh sushi was particularly special. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case for a long time and since the Corona pandemic, you're no longer allowed to put together your own plate and the selection has become significantly smaller. Very unfortunate. The quality of what is still available is still quite good.

We were there again after a long time and I was very surprised at how good it was. For the price it's just great. My wife had various fish (shrimp, mussels...) fried. We'll be back.

Good food but very bad staff and hygiene!!!!!

It doesn't taste good at all, once I was there, everything I ate was dry, the plates were dirty, I don't like it

Terrible food, tasteless, rancid

Price performance top! A dish is never empty for more than a minute; a full selection of dishes is always ensured. Even though the emphasis here is on quantity, the buffet is clean and attractively laid out.

Good buffet restaurant for the price. We like to eat here before going to the cinema because it's delicious and uncomplicated. The food seems fresh and the selection is very good. There is a Mongolian grill where the food is freshly prepared, sushi, fried foods, salads, main courses, soups, desserts... Something for everyone.

See large and personally furnished restaurant

Delicious food. Extensive buffet. Good value for money.

The food is good and the waiters are also very nice, but the atmosphere is a bit too dark

Super delicious food. Price-performance ratio is right and we go there very often. There is something for everyone.

Very good food and the service is also nice and courteous Keep it up

- Overpriced - No card payment possible - Toilet = 1 euro... is that a joke?! - green flies on sushi... please be careful - unfortunately the price-performance ratio is no longer right here. - don't come anymore

Arriving 1h30 before closing they tell us that we have to be finished in 20 minutes Said in a very unpleasant way too

Horrible Food. Not at all recommended.

Not a bad place. The range of food is not very large, but the norm. Once I was unpleasantly surprised by sour canned corn.

I have rarely seen Pires all mixed up! Bad faith from the Boss, who forgets to serve us but still wants us to pay. He ended up saying that we were right, but no longer smiled.

Food was cold, beans cold, beef cold, generally almost everything was only lukewarm to cold. Ice cream melted and very soft, discount chicken nuggets, canned fruit lettuce, discount cream puffs.

Man wurde gleich begrüßt mit :nur Barzahlung möglich. Etliche Platten leer. Wenig Auswahl. Calamares kleben in einem Klumpen zusammen.Qualität absolut minderwertig. Eis total matschig. Preis Leistungsverhältnis unmöglich. Absolut nicht empfehlenswert.

The fresh food is great, but the finished ones can be left behind. The fruit is fresh, unfortunately the chocolate fountain was out. Water came down from the ceiling.

The lunch buffet wasn't great in terms of taste. Unfortunately, the food was only lukewarm and often already dried out. Some of the sushi didn't look particularly fresh either. We won't eat there again, there are better restaurants.

Friendly, clean, plenty of food to eat at the buffet and the menu was great

Horrible, poisoning, spoiled food.

Honestly, it's been one of the worst experiences in my life. I think the only thing I enjoyed eating was the mango. I leave with my stomach very full but my heart very empty.

It's not easy to understand the meal plans but the food is pretty good. Fair price

Unfortunately the quality is not good at all! The sushi only has a pin-sized piece of tuna, so it's more rice than sushi. Staff very very unfriendly. Toilets unclean.

Horrible staff, people screaming in the restaurant, you can't pay by card
