Der Goldene Wok in Frankfurt am Main

I was here again with my family on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 to redeem a voucher for the lunch buffet. Unfortunately, the entrance is not at all handicapped accessible due to the stairs, which can be an obstacle for people who cannot walk very well. There are 8 steps up from the parking lot to the sidewalk. From the sidewalk up to the restaurant it's 11. So there are a total of 19 steps. The buffet itself is actually okay, but I have a suspicion that the spring rolls or some of the rice were not good because I had stomach pains and stomach cramps afterwards until April 18, 2025. I didn't have this after our visit in 2024. Otherwise the ambience is sufficient. However, the blue acrylic decoration on the ceiling should urgently be cleaned of dust as it is unhygienic and does not look nice. For 4 people we paid just under €60 with the voucher. However, due to the lack of accessibility, we will no longer be able to visit the restaurant.

The best Asian buffet restaurant in all of Germany - and that's really not an exaggeration! There is a huge selection of freshly prepared delicacies here: from hotpot and Mongolian grill to seafood, dim sum, fruit, ice cream, fried foods and various hot dishes. No wonder we enjoy eating here so often - one of our absolute favorite restaurants!

Exactly what you would expect from a Chinese buffet. A bit expensive in the evening on weekends but for example at lunchtime it would be a good price. We didn't try the Dutch oven, but it looked good.

Staff is a disaster, rude. Never again!

The staff is very friendly and the turtles at the entrance fascinated the children. The service is top and the prices are good. I would have liked a little more (vegetarian) choice but otherwise.

Typical "all you can eat" buffet. The food was fresh and tasty. The selection was extensive, and there was a grill. Unfortunately, not every dish came with its own tongs/spoon, and the restrooms could have been cleaner. Overall, I think the value for money was only "okay."

I have been there several times. There are hot pots, buffets, seafood, meat, sushi, fruits, desserts, ice cream, etc. There are so many delicious foods that I almost burst my belly. Clean, good environment, convenient parking, and you can take a walk by the river after eating. It is a restaurant worth frequenting, thumbs up.

After visiting more similar places, I am convinced that the overrated prices are just due to the location; by the river, with a open terrace in the summer. This place in Offenbach (15 km away), which I'm not going to name, offers the exact same menu, as if they would have the same owner who just decided prices by location, where you get a better value for the money (-4 Eur/pers), bigger location but without the terrace and river shore.

Quite loud…because well attended.

The golden wok really disappointed me overall. The service is unfriendly and unfortunately very disorganized. The fresh meat and seafood counter is the best part of the open buffet. Sushi is an absolute disgrace, just bad. Sweets are just bad. Frying takes forever. The buffet was full of pared down cheap food. The price itself is okay.

This is a Chinese buffet restaurant that I often go to. The hall was large and had many seats, so I was able to use it even without a reservation. The staff can speak Chinese and German. All the food is delicious, especially the lamb skewers among the instant Wok dishes.

A very nice restaurant. The food is very tasty, the selection is very large and you can really eat your fill at a very good and fair price. It is also clean and tidy for her. I like coming here!👍🏻🫶🏻

Five bids! I sincerely recommend the owner to come to Asia and learn how to cook food⋯ The stir-fry was not cooked properly, every dish was so salty that I needed kidney dialysis, I wouldn’t even eat it 🐶 You don’t have to eat it, but you must recommend your friends to eat it😋😋

Enjoyed an excellent evening buffet with my wife. The homemade lemonade is great!

Nice staff and some nicely decorated but since it was an all you can eat buffet, the store was full and you could hardly walk through. There was a lot of choice of dishes but many of them didn't look appetizing. Hygiene was in short supply and there was an unpleasant smell right in the entrance, toilet and dining area. Some of the dishes and cutlery had leftover food even though they were “fresh”. But if you want "low budget" and authentic food and then do NOT want to consider hygiene, then it's definitely a good place.

The food isn't really good. Greasy greasy greasy. For lunch it's worth going to the AsiaPalast in Langen. Here you get a lot more on offer for lunch, including fresh fish and seafood

Very old, not well maintained but friendly. The food isn't bad, but there is better. The restaurant is "dated" - not bad - but cleanliness is a foreign concept. The table still had sauce residue from the previous person and the floor wasn't really clean. Cobwebs and dust in many corners. Toilets disgusting, it stinks right up to the entrance. It's a shame about the good location - just cleaning it properly would help. Price fair for the food, but we certainly won't be back. There is simply much, much better!

Chinese buffet CM, its taste is the best.

We celebrated New Year's Day. We were 7 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 5 years. We liked everything except the “check”, we received almost half the price.

DISASTER!!!!!! there is no need to say more.

Disadvantages: There are relatively few types of dishes, especially very few fresh fruits and vegetables. advantage: 1. The service attitude is pretty good 2. The iron plate and stir-fried dishes are very cost-effective, and the stir-fried and fried dishes are also relatively fresh. The chefs at the Teppanyaki are pretty good, but if your food tastes bland, remember to tell them to add less salt. Personally, the most recommended ones are the halibut and lamb kebabs

My opinion on “Golden Wok”: It starts with service and ends with hygiene. Service: The service was poor. In addition, you had to wait a very long time for the grilled food, watching like a dog as he grilled it, sometimes up to 15 minutes, really disappointing. Food selection and quality: There wasn't a great selection and the quality of the food also left a lot to be desired. Drinks: In some cases, freeway drinks were offered - which is absolutely inadequate. Hygiene: The toilet facility was in a catastrophic condition: it stank and had mold and rust stains. In addition, there was only one shared hand basin for men and women - absolutely unhygienic! About my health after the visit: I had to go to the toilet while I was in the restaurant. I couldn't sleep that night because I suffered from severe stomach pain and nausea. Conclusion: Catastrophe, never again

I highly recommend... I read some negative comments but honestly it's not true at all! Firstly, a wok is a wok, and this one is among the best I've visited: there's a bit of everything, we can't satisfy all tastes but the basics are there, it's worth making the detour: it's also clean and listening services. It was a great experience worthy of the city of Frankfurt.

Food doesn't look appealing and some of it is lukewarm and really doesn't seem fresh. After the first plate I didn't feel like eating anymore. Too much choice for too little quality

I ate at this restaurant today but was extremely disappointed. The hygienic standards left a lot to be desired and the food didn't seem fresh. After eating, I had persistent stomach pain, which further worsened my impression. For these reasons I will not visit this restaurant again and cannot recommend it.

Highly recommended and great selection. The staff is very nice. We'd love to come back

We've got exactly what we wanted. Food was good and the waiters were nice and were taking back empty plates really fast. Great variety of everything.

Very, very rich buffet, nice staff, very inexpensive, very good food.

Hot pot is very good here and lots of choice! Great price! We like to come here with the family

It's worth a visit, very colorful and diverse guests, (as expected) still recommended!

Unfortunately I can only agree with the negative reviews. We went there for lunch and didn't have a good impression the last few times we ate there. We used to only remember beautiful and positive moments. The food from the “hot buffet” was ice cold and didn’t really taste fresh (I tried it from my daughter’s plate after she didn’t want to eat it anymore). My husband and I ordered something on the wok which was also very disappointing. The sushi at the buffet or the mayo that was on top didn't really look fresh. And the baked bananas don't really taste like they were freshly made. The conclusion was that we drove home hungry (from an all you can eat buffet). We definitely won't go there again. In addition, the deliveries were pushed past the buffet between the guests. Unfortunately not a nice experience. Relatively inexpensive compared to other restaurants, but there are definitely some corners saved here.

Let's put it this way: for 15.90 on a Saturday for an all u can eat, the food is ok. You can hardly go wrong with the breaded things, two dishes were quite ok, you should avoid the rest, especially the prawns, which looked delicious, but all of them did NOT have their intestines out. We didn't try the Dutch oven. The ambience is quite nice...but unfortunately that doesn't make the rest any better. I was there for the first and last time. Very unfortunate...

This is a buffet with rats Messy and there's a lot here 🐀

Pretty good Asian food buffet. It is better to go on the weekend because there is more variety, although during the week it is also good.

We were in the golden wok a week ago. Very nice service. The employees joined in with Happy Birthday, great. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was simply fantastic. If I'm in Frankfurt again I'll definitely come back.

Service top, food not so good at all, unfortunately. I can only agree with Siggi’s assessment on all points! The finished food was dry, partly overcooked, unsightly, etc. Wok & Tepanyaki, on the other hand, were ok, even if you should avoid the poultry (a bit slimy). It used to be much better. Too bad!

We cooperate with the Alarm Clock Tour Group and only give food to cheap people. You will have diarrhea after eating. Your stomach is not made of iron. Please be careful.

Bad food, dirty, you should close... If there were zero stars, I would have given them. Just disgusting...

To charge almost twice as much for a holiday is an absolute disgrace given this quality

The hot pot is delicious, but the sweets for dessert are even tastier

Dirty, messy, poor hygiene in need of renovation. We used to go there often and had positive memories of the Golden Wok. The owner has certainly changed and is totally in tune with class. It's clear that you can't expect too much from an All YouCan Eat. Negatives: - The floor was totally oily/slippery. (Especially on the stairs to dessert where our daughter also slipped) - Some of the displays were very dirty. This can happen at a buffet with so many people. You should pay even more attention to this. - Dirt / dust was in every corner. - Inventory is partly in need of renovation and is getting old. - The carts with dirty dishes and leftover food are completely overcrowded. - Meat, fish, vegetables and warm food were hardly replenished (we were there at prime time, around 6:30 p.m.) I find the following particularly negative... - When paying, the waitress only came to our table after repeated inquiries and gave herself a tip!!! It wasn't much, but rounding up the amount without asking was a bit of a scam. Our friends held the device up to their cell phone without hesitation so that it was automatically debited. There was no way to control the amount. Luckily the amount was correct there. - Unfortunately, we also got a look into the kitchen and saw that an employee had run through there with a cigarette. Cigarettes have no place in the kitchen... Positives: - The meat was fried really well and wasn't dry or too tough. - The dishes from the wok were also very good, especially delicious with the selection of different sauces. That's it for the next time with the Golden Wok. Even though it's quite cheap in comparison, I wouldn't recommend it.

the food bad and the quality. frozen products and not a large variety. for the price very expensive. service was very good, clean tables.

Good restaurant... Good food, kind staff, nice experience...

Buffet selection was such that food quickly got cold when eaten at the table. Service went like this. Parking was a disaster, not recommended and the toilet smelled disgusting

The restaurant is designed according to the principle of all you can eat and self-service. You can also take more portions for the same price. You pay a fine of 5 e if something is left on your plate. The food is very tasty. Best to reserve a table!

Zero star. Period. The food is obviously cheap and unhealthy. The service is very rude! (especially the lady at the reception)...and the man behind the grill/wok. Cooking/frying/grilling foods, it is the WORST that we ever encountered in Frankfurt. The atmosphere isn't what we expected, and one of our friends found a piece of steel wool wire (photo attached) in the food, told the waitress and was told "it is the same as can be found in your home food too!!!"...smfh. Most of the foods were salty and unhealthy. The cook do not know how to fry the glass noodle, must be hired from a remote area. And the cook even scolded the customer for wanting the glass noodle to be fried. This kind of rude and poor service would ultimately lead to its fall. The fried chicken wings were half cooked (starting to have a discomfort stomach, bloody shxt). The amount of food available is not much and of low quality. Sushi??? What sushi!!!??? Fried foods available are fried with high amount of flour...yes, unhealthy! Highly recommended not to waste your money here on low quality & unhealthy foods. Will not return. There are many better quality places in Frankfurt.

Absolute disaster Buffet not fresh, partly so unsightly that I wouldn't even give it to my dog, unfriendly staff, never here again and the way the food looked like the health department should stop by here

Bad food, nice staff – unfortunately not recommended I recently ate at Golden Wok and was appalled at the quality of the food. The meat was undercooked and therefore absolutely inedible. The remaining dishes also tasted unreasonable and were sometimes served cold. The ambience was anything but inviting - it seemed dirty and unkempt. The parking lot was more like a field, deep holes and completely muddy. The only positive thing that should be highlighted is the staff, who were friendly and tried hard. Nevertheless, I can definitely not recommend this restaurant. My health was very poor after the visit and I regret eating there. Please think carefully before visiting this restaurant!

all chinese reviews are biased, don't believe it? try it for yourself but why would you even punish yourself financially? though this place might be a fit for you if you are one of them, speak their language, and if you are as aggressive and rude as them.

Went to the “golden wok” this evening when we walked in the door it smelled like fish food and there was a group of people in front of us. The smell came from the aquarium next to the reception. When we arrived at our table it was still smeared with grease from the previous eater. We were initially just sat down and didn't receive any further instructions or a map. We didn't feel comfortable in the atmosphere and left our jackets on because we were afraid of not being able to put them back on when we will come back from the buffet. When the waitress came and brought us the menu, we went to the buffet where we found dirty plates, it looked like a food fight. The satay pies were lying in a pool of oil and water and there were swollen pieces of chicken inside. The sushi buffet cannot be called a sushi buffet because it is not sushi, but rather inedible resi balls. We returned to our table to pay again straight away, which we did quickly as we left the restaurant.

I have been here three times. Everything is very complete and fresh. The mutton skewers are highly recommended.

The food is all fresh and delicious. Their mutton skewers and grilled fish are particularly delicious! Must eat. The cantaloupe is also very sweet and fresh!

The food is delicious and the service is very warm and friendly

The all-you-can-eat buffet was simply amazing! The selection of food was overwhelming - from fresh salads and delicious starters to international main courses and an incredible selection of desserts. Everything was lovingly prepared and freshly prepared. I would particularly like to highlight the quality of the ingredients, which you could taste in every bite. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was pleasant, with nice decor and enough space to feel comfortable, even if it was busy. Value for money was absolutely top! For this variety and quality, the price is more than justified. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it. Five stars – more than deserved! Masallah

Everything is beyond my expectations and those of my friends!!

The buffet is very delicious, especially the mutton kebabs

Had dinner there yesterday, food poisoning today. On the toilet all day!!! Never go there again AMK!

The food is delicious and the selection is very good 👌

Die Auswahl ist groß, Servicepersonal ist nett und zuvorkommend, hot pot im Winter ist einer meiner Lieblingsessen. Highly recommended 👍

How do I call for a reservation if I am deaf (severely disabled)? There is no option to book via email, only calls, I'm shocked.

Varied selection and tasted very good. Highly recommended.

The food was quite good, but the service was disastrous and inferior!

Very good authentic Chinese cuisine👍👍👍🙏

Cold, loud, sticky and incredibly bad food. The coaches dump loads of people in, it was by far the worst Asian...ever!

The food was good. The service staff are very nice.

AVOID AT ALL COST. The hygiene is unacceptable, and the food quality is extremely low. The cook does not wear a cap or proper uniform, which raises serious concerns. The food served is not fresh; the sushi rice is dry and hard, and the tempura prawn lacks any actual prawn. I even found steel wool residue in the wok food. When I brought this to the boss's attention, she dismissed it by saying, “No big deal; it’s common to find in kitchens, even your house.” The five-star reviews seem suspicious. It might be better to invest in training for your staff rather than spending money online.

Tastes very good, very nice staff, and inexpensive! Highly recommended!

The boss is very nice and enthusiastic 😋It’s delicious. I’ll come back next time! Lamb kebabs are delicious

Came here specifically from other cities, it’s delicious! The dishes are very rich and the ingredients are fresh. It can be seen that the ingredients are very good. The boss is also very nice and the service is very good. I will come here again in the future.

Came here specially to eat. It tasted very good. Rich ingredients, not only hot pot but also barbecue and so on The boss is super nice After eating, I will come and ask how the food was, hahahaha Come again if you have a chance

Das Essen war nur lauwarm, selbst das neu aufgefüllte Essen war nicht heiss. Bis man dann alles, was auf dem Teller lag, gegessen hat, war es kalt. Buffet wurde nicht schnell genug aufgefüllt, es war ständig leer, obwohl das Restaurant voll war. Die Küche ist vollkommen überfordert! Ohne ein Getränk muss man auf das Buffet einen Euro Aufschlag zahlen. Dies haben wir noch nicht in irgend einem anderen Restaurant erlebt. Früher war das Lokal super, heute........ Wir kommen definitiv nicht mehr wieder.

Ice cream tastes best 😋 Eating other foods causes diarrhea 🤩 the toilet is pretty clean too ✨

This is the worst place that I have ever visited! The Food was terrible - there wasn’t any sushi with fish! No sushi with FISH!!! Can you believe that?! A Complete disappointment!

Staff is not friendly, you can't say anything good about service. The food didn't taste good, everything was cold and everything smelled of fish. 🐟 We'll never come here again.👎🏼

Average food and in a decent shop. Unfortunately it doesn't always taste good, but it's perfectly fine if you're really hungry.

If you are a sea food lover this place is for you.

Oct 2024 👎 -Cl. Choice of food -Toilets are very small and cramped - The table is not cleared in between during the buffet. 👍 -Food tastes good -Clean

Lugar favorito de todos los tiempos para nosotros desde hace años, ya que nos encanta la vista al atardecer y nunca nos decepcionaron, pero nuestra experiencia de cena de anoche fue horrible. Tal vez el propietario ha cambiado o el nivel de calidad ya no es una prioridad. Los servidores estaban tratando de hacer todo lo posible y se mantuvieron tranquilos y amables, aunque muchas más manos podrían ser necesarias. Pedimos algunos cócteles que nunca llegaron, incluso después de comprobar en el bar. Artículos fritos deliciosos como siempre, pero la barra de ensaladas era más como un desastre. Por último, pero no menos importante, los baños definitivamente necesitan un make - over y tal vez un clean - up - check de vez en cuando, ya que para > 100 invitados solo hay 3 WC ! Lo siento por esta crítica, pero las cosas solían ser perfectas no hace mucho... PS: ¡Kudos a su personal que se esfuerzan por sobrellevarlo y un gran agradecimiento al joven de la parrilla que cocina todo a la perfección!

The lunch buffet for €13.90 is just about worth that price. The selection is very manageable and the taste leaves a lot of room for improvement due to the insufficient temperature of the buffet dishes. I can only recommend it to a limited extent.

Very nice and nice service and eat very tasty

Well structured restaurant. All dishes available, large selection. Delicious sauces.

If you spend 108.5 euros and want to pay with a card, the waiter will enter 110 euros directly on the POS machine. Erasing zeros in reverse is really slippery

I have been there more than once and will be again)))

The service was very good, there was a lot of good food and the hot pot was tasty.

Very tasty, super tasty, this is simply the best Chinese food I have ever eaten in Germany.

I recommend you not to come here, very bad… doesn't taste good. No choice, fake photos on Google. Buffet looks completely different

The worst buffet and Food i ever had

Was here for the first time and can only say that it is simply great in terms of price-performance. The service is very nice and the buffet has a lot of choice. But the best thing was the wok and the tepenyaki. A lot of meats and very tasty sauces. Gladly again!

Been here 3 times - promised "NEVER AGAIN" 3 times. Cheap food for the masses. I understand the concept, but if you want good food, stay away.

In addition to a classic buffet, the restaurant also offers a work buffet, a grill buffet and hot pot at the seat. However, the ingredients don't make a good impression. The meat swims in the blood at the wok and grill buffet. There is also a strong smell throughout the restaurant of the food that the guests are preparing with the Dutch oven at the table. The service is rather mediocre. It wasn't even asked. And you have to pick up the wok and grill dishes yourself. We cannot recommend this restaurant.

Inexpensive and decent buffet restaurant

We wanted to go out for dinner at HotPod for my mother's birthday and had reserved a table. At the beginning everything went quite well, except that the employee who served seemed a bit rude. But in the middle of the meal, a larger group came and took up half the room. We were then sent away to another table so that the group that came after us could get the table, even though we were there before and had reserved!!! We had to carry all the drinks etc. to the other table ourselves. Definitely disappointing, especially since we specifically chose this place to celebrate our birthday.

Everything was great, we were there for a birthday, there was a lot of variety of food

The food has deteriorated greatly over the past few years. Everything is far too greasy and not enough choice. Everything tasted very strange. Not recommended!

Mega restaurant, mega food, everything perfect. A place truly worth recommending.

Cool place , it’s great place for hangouts. Buffet I like , standby kitchen can cook anything in front of u , just u need a reservation. Overall good.

A good restaurant, it is better to come in the evening. You can make noodles and more choices of seafood. Beautiful view of the river. The staff is friendly

Little choice for lunch, unfriendly staff, everything very chaotic.

I highly recommend the mutton skewers and seafood. The fruits are also very fresh. The most important thing is that it is cheap. The waiters are also friendly.

Delicious fresh food, great advice and service is also very friendly
