Glücksboot in Leipzig

The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food selection was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Honestly, I can't understand the 5-star reviews. The selection was actually quite good, and the food itself tasted okay. There were also frog legs and salmon and things like that. The sushi, however, was absolutely disappointing; it was simply poorly prepared. Dessert was also just a cheap cake that tasted strongly of "refrigerator." Overall, the food quality wasn't very good. Getting two tap drinks is apparently included, and it was also a good selection. However, I found the price of €27 per person for the buffet to be way too much, considering you only end up getting one plate and maybe one dessert until you're full. When paying, we were also asked where we were sitting; I have no idea if that factored into the price. The price is simply based on the number of people. There's probably a reason why prices aren't advertised anywhere...

Everything's just right here: a wide selection of fresh ingredients, individually combined, fried to perfection, and then brought to your table by a robot. An exciting experience and very good food!

It was our first time there and we were very surprised by the selection and the value for money. We really enjoyed it. We'll be back soon.

If you don't have high expectations, I recommend it. The restaurant has probably seen better days.

I've eaten at your restaurant several times now. I always enjoy coming back. Very friendly staff and excellent food.

The food is very good, drinks are included, and two alcoholic drinks, such as beer, are allowed per person. Good concept, plus they offer make-your-own waffles, coffee, ice cream, and soft serve. Mongolian grill. I've visited the restaurant several times and have never had any complaints. The staff are friendly and always try their best.

The food was really delicious, the selection was varied, and drinks were included. For the price, it's more than 5 stars these days. The highlight is a little service robot 😃 The owner is also really nice and takes care of his guests.

Always happy to go there, very friendly staff.

Food was catastrophic, meat was dry

Food top everything warm and tasty drinks well chilled

Very nice and good restaurant, top value for money. I will definitely be going there 5 times starting tomorrow and would recommend it to everyone. TOP!!!!!

Exceptionally nice staff, very friendly, warm and accommodating.

I've never eaten so badly. Some of the food was cold. Some dishes were burnt, and the sweet and sour sauce consisted of thickened ketchup. The selection also left a lot to be desired, especially for €27. This, along with the broken tables and chairs, was extremely enchanting. The bent knives, some of which were still dirty, didn't exactly whet one's appetite. Definitely not recommended; even one star is too much.

Disastrous! Hygiene is almost nonexistent. Sushi cutlery is lying freely on the counter, as is other serving cutlery. Tables, clips, and drink menus are sticky. The floor is also sticky. Some of the food was empty or had caked-on crumbs and crusts. The fried food was soggy. Both the aquariums were dirty and poorly maintained. After 40 minutes, we left this all-you-can-eat restaurant and drove to McDonald's across the street because we were hungry. Instead of a restaurant visit, we got an adventure trip with a survival element. Never, never again!

The food was very good. The service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Four of us went to this restaurant last night, July 16, 2025, for the all-you-can-eat buffet. We go there several times a year for various occasions and have been very satisfied each time. There was the usual wide variety of meat, fish, and vegetables, all freshly prepared, as well as a variety of cooked dishes, appetizers, and desserts. This time, I tried, among other things, kangaroo meat with beans. It was professionally grilled and lovingly presented, and brought by the cheerful robot waiter. The freshly baked waffles are also always delicious. It was a lovely evening with friends and delicious food and drinks for €25 per person. We'd be happy to go again!

We went there for dinner today. At first glance, it didn't make a bad impression. But this is deceptive upon closer inspection. The food didn't look that fresh, and it tasted just that way, too. Much of it tasted like it had just been thawed or as if it had been sitting there for hours. The hygiene also left a lot to be desired. After the first plate, you could already get a slight tummy ache. The service was generally satisfactory, and there was a fairly large selection of drinks, but I still can't recommend it. Unless you want a stomachache.

The food was bad, bland, and underseasoned. The buffet selection was beyond meager for a Sunday. The sushi—I've never seen such poorly formed sushi, and any amateur could do a better job. The service was just awful, unfortunately. The ambiance—the chairs were falling apart, and every table had a chair that didn't fit. Anyone who knows good Asian food should steer clear of this place.

We were there as a family and the buffet was always well stocked and clean. The aquarium was full of fingerprints and the toilets were not cleaned regularly (probably only once a day). They were a bit overwhelmed in the kitchen as the food was incorrectly allocated via the server or sent to the wrong tables.

My girlfriend took us there once and since then we go regularly

We went for the all-you-can-eat option. It was €25 per person. The selection was gigantic, first the buffet and then the drinks selection 🥰 Not only could you eat as much as you wanted, but you could also drink as much as you wanted if you stuck to the non-alcoholic drinks. The price even included one or two alcoholic drinks per person. If you didn't get your money's worth, it's your own fault! We were stuffed to the brim, and the food was delicious. 😋 You couldn't even try everything they offered 😅 When we're back in Leipzig, we'll definitely be back.

Very tasty and highly recommended! Anyone who complains here has no idea what good food is 😉

The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is simple. The price for lunch was reasonable for an all-you-can-eat menu...so if you want to eat a lot, this is the place for you. If you want something more upscale, go elsewhere. They also have a fun robot operator...something for kids.

Unfortunately, the Lucky Boat wasn't for me. I felt like I was in a train station concourse, and some of the food was cold and the selection was so-so.

Very nice restaurant, friendly staff, huge selection of starters, main courses, and desserts (e.g., fresh bubble waffles). The Mongolian grill is also great. The prices are reasonable and reasonable, as drinks (soft drinks, tea, coffee, juices, etc., and some alcoholic beverages) are included. The highlight for the younger ones is the robot cat.

Very kind and welcoming staff, had a very good time. The food is good overall, I especially enjoyed the live chef. Recommended

The food is extremely salty and the selection is really poor. Very uncomfortable. The aquarium is very dirty, and the poor fish are.

The food was rather substandard. Drinks were free. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Very hot and stuffy. Wouldn't go here again.

I've rarely met such friendly, courteous, and helpful staff. We had a wonderful evening with 20 people. The food was excellent, and above all, the value for money was incredible. €25 included drinks (Paulanee Spezi, draft beer, thirst quencher, mate, energy drink, and much more) (including two alcoholic drinks), and for dessert, a chocolate fountain, soft serve ice cream, regular ice cream, and freshly baked waffles... fantastic!

We were at the Glücksboot (a birthday party) on May 31, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. with eight people. It was once again a fantastic evening. Although the restaurant was busy, the bars were always well-stocked and clean – we really appreciated that. The drinks selection is simply enormous, and the staff is always very polite, friendly, and attentive. We've been coming to the Glücksboot for years and have always been satisfied. We especially liked that my son received a small gift from the staff after paying – that was a really nice gesture. We highly recommend the Glücksboot and are already looking forward to our next visit!

The service was very friendly, and the restaurant's atmosphere was actually quite pleasant. The food didn't seem particularly fresh, which was confirmed later that evening: I got food poisoning. What a shame.

Very tasty, very large selection of food and drinks, very friendly staff.

Well, I can't complain. We like eating here and are always very satisfied. It's understandable that you can't please every guest. But most people have something to complain about everything. OK, I haven't had hair in my food yet and you notice time and again that it's the customers' personal fault how the buffet looks. People throw the food around and in the end, as always, it's the owners' fault. I don't think that's right. But that's what humanity has become. I have to say a big thank you and I'm happy to go back again and again. 🥰 Keep up the good work and don't let it get you down.

Even though we arrived half an hour early, we received a very friendly welcome, were seated, and were served immediately with our drink requests. We love the wide selection of all-inclusive drinks. The food was freshly prepared and, to our taste, delicious. The selection of dishes is also more than sufficient. We ate here on a midweek Wednesday and were completely satisfied and will definitely be back. Thank you very much.

We were skeptical at first, having read the reviews. But our experience was different. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food selection was varied, as were the drinks. Since there are probably not many guests eating out during the week, the containers weren't overflowing. But there were no empty containers either! We also think the price is reasonable for this offering. We will definitely be back and thank you for your hospitality.

The waitress was very accommodating and explained everything. She kept coming over and asking if I wanted something specific, such as fresh waffles

That it was okay. I know the taste technique better from the price-performance ratio. I wouldn't recommend it. Ambience is somehow Trieste and the food was just ok, nothing special.

I ate the buffet and was disappointed from start to finish. Not even the fried noodles were good. I had the feeling it was spaghetti. Nothing I ate was worthy of a restaurant. I would have preferred to spend the 25 euros around the corner at McDonald's. The toilet also smelled. In Berlin, every all-you-can-eat buffet is by far better.

The Glücksboot has a large and rich buffet. It tasted very good and I would come back at any time.

The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. You come in and the stairs stink, the floor is sticky and everything generally seems very dirty. I don't know if the employees don't see this? The food is okay, but nothing special. The freshness of the products also leaves something to be desired. All in all, it was extremely poor and €15 for all u can eat lunch was not justified for the quality on offer. We will not visit the restaurant again. Above all, they offer sushi, what was there has nothing to do with sushi. Too bad Oh, the toilets were also underground. This robot that brings the food should be replaced with a cleaning robot.

We went there with high expectations and were sorely disappointed. The welcome and briefing was poor, the food was not good at all - although there is plenty of choice, it is not of great quality. And for a super cheeky €27 on a Saturday evening. We won't be coming back.

Drink selection is good. That's almost the only positive thing. The sushi is from the supermarket and absolutely disgusting. The noodles are way too soft. The food given for frying was so messed up and fried to death. I've rarely wasted €25 per person like that. Too bad.

Very rich buffet. The highlight is the robot that brings the food, reacts to being petted and, like me, plays a birthday song

All I can say is never again. Food was lukewarm, there was already a skin on dishes with sauce, very unappetizing. No special choice of food. We've eaten there several times in the past and were totally disappointed today. Restaurant was also relatively empty, why?

I was there with a group for the second time, after the book fair. Many impressions were confirmed after the first visit. Unfortunately, the rooms are anything but dauber and tidy. Changing table for baby in a broom closet them light. Very adventurous. The drink selection is good. Everyone should find something there. The food however... Everything tastes the same or not. The sushi is an insult. The Mongolian Grill simply didn't have enough staff that evening. It was too much for someone who was supposed to be grilling. Some of the food arrived cold. So overall not good for the price.

Quite a bit run down, it was partly dirty and unattractive, we had to wait a long time for our drink

Food delicious, service friendly. But all the bells and whistles leave a lot to be desired. Floor sticky, very dirty. Toilets, well... what a shame!

I can't recommend it. The "fresh" food, like vegetables, tasted stale, the food was poorly seasoned or not seasoned at all, and generally very greasy. There were hardly any vegetarian options. Not recommended for the price!

To celebrate our 25th anniversary last week, we went to the Glücksboot (Lucky Boat) for the evening buffet. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of dishes on offer, from freshly prepared dishes to self-selected dishes and buffet-style options. Everything tasted great, and great care was taken to ensure guest satisfaction. The value for money is definitely right here. To my great surprise, a member of staff gave me a small gift and an envelope as I left. Inside was a voucher for our next visit. We were very pleased about that. Thank you for the kind gesture.

Food okay, nothing more. Not particularly comfortable.

Very good attention! Delicious food, has good options.

One star is still too many just bad bad bad 🤢🤢🤢🤢 Hartz 4 and train station atmosphere The food is just greasy and designed for conveyor belt processing... the people running around there, well, I would say Bahnstrasse. I still felt so uncomfortable.

Top food, friendly, courteous service. Rarely eaten so well!! We will always come back.

Fully! Staff super hardworking and friendly. I am a regular customer out of conviction.

We always liked it and the food was great, sometimes there were 3 or 4 people

The food was good and the service was attentive and friendly. But if you spend the whole time looking at an aquarium where you can no longer see the fish because of all the handprints, then I don't want to worry about cleanliness. It's a shame but that was definitely our last visit.

Basically ok, more attention could be paid to cleanliness, buffet was ok but not a huge selection, wide selection of drinks plus 1-2 alcohol. Drinks included in the price, staff very friendly, visit as good as possible even without a reservation..

We have been to the “Glücksboot” several times, unfortunately it will probably be the last time. First the positive: The very large room is stylishly furnished, the staff is quite friendly, the selection of food is very large in the area of ​​fresh meat, fish and vegetables, which you can have prepared (even if some are still frozen). Unfortunately there was very little choice of "ready" food, strange things were breaded (breaded surimi???), the spring rolls were dry and had hardly any vegetables in them, the fried shrimp were mixed with corn. There was only one ready-made soup (Peking soup); at a soup bar you could put together your own wonton soup and have it freshly prepared. A great thing in itself, unfortunately the end result didn't taste great. Very unfortunate. At least the desserts were delicious. Nevertheless, you can no longer give a recommendation with a clear conscience.

Prices online are incorrect. Calculate differently...

Food was not refilled and the meat and vegetables were very dry...e.g. The leek was really dry, the noodles were too salty... Then hot sauce would simply be mixed in while frying...I chose white coconut milk...the guy at the grill also looked annoyed, even though it was just opening The entrance before you go up the stairs was very nice.. unfortunately, that's the only thing. Didn't convince me. Sorry

There isn't that much to say JUST DELICIOUS There's not much to say still delicious

Very tasty food with very nice staff at a fair price. Nothing to complain about. We paid €25 per person for the buffet + all you can drink (only two alcoholic drinks).

The Glücksboot in Leipzig is a great destination for lovers of Asian cuisine! The buffet offers an impressive selection of Chinese, Mongolian and sushi dishes, freshly prepared and regularly replenished. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the food - the ingredients seem fresh and the variety leaves nothing to be desired. Whether it's crunchy vegetables, tender meat or sushi, there's something for every taste. The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is relaxed, even if the interior seems a bit old in some places. If you're looking for good food at a fair price, this is the place for you. I'd love to come back to try more delicacies!

You're lucky if you don't have vomiting diarrhea afterwards. Anyone who voluntarily goes back here after a visit or recommends it to someone really has no taste and no feeling of disgust. Plus, probably an infinite amount of money. €26 per person is really way too much for what you get. The fish stank to high heaven and in addition to having hair in the salad dressing, it was also absolutely mangy. The tables and counters were all dirty and the floor was so sticky, even though that shouldn't have been possible because of the dust, dirt and leftover food. The cutlery also had real streaks and clumps of dirt on it. Luckily there were drinks in closed bottles, such as Paulaner Spezi, Mio Mio Cola Zero or apple spritzer from Aldi. Finally, I would like to say a few words about the other visitors. It is an absolute impudence to push forward, push and shout at the other guests in a queue where you can easily wait 20-30 minutes, just because the children (5-7 years old) “want” something. Then clearing everything out and letting the children tackle everything with their hands after they have cleaned themselves in every orifice is really the bottom drawer. I cannot recommend it in any way and will not set foot in this shed again. I'll spare you photos!

Very very messy and dirty! Unfriendly staff! When you add more food you are jostled - not a word of apology! The fish area smelled very strong! And the price is completely excessive! Some of the dishes are not edible - mushy salad - not fully cooked. Never eaten so badly

Everything is dirty, everything stinks, unhygienic, untidy, incompetent staff, hair in the buffet, anti-social crowd, overpriced, bland food, I'll never go to this dump again.

Unfortunately not as good as expected, a very inadequate welcome, lack of organization, some cold food and relatively little choice. The price is very reasonable, with relatively good facilities. Also cool robots and a very large, free selection of drinks

great selection, very nice service, great price-performance ratio, delicious food gladly again and unbeatable at this price.

super Auswahl , ganz nette Bedienung , tolles Preis Leistung Verhälnis , lecker Essen gern wieder und unschlagbar zu diesem Preis .

At Glücksboot you have THE Asian “all you can eat” experience if you accept that there is only self-service. Here you can really fill your stomach with all sorts of fine Asian specialties for a good fixed price. I find the quality of the food to be really good and I can't complain here. It's interesting that you can bring raw meat such as chicken, duck or other varying meat (for us most recently kangaroo👌), various fish and vegetables to the grill/tepanyaki - the finished dish you put together yourself is then served to you on your plate by a moving robot brought to the table - Nice. The dessert is also great - the kids are always very happy! The price includes 2 soft drinks (no liquor). The downside to all of my visits so far has been the volume, because since it is always busy and full, it is of course correspondingly loud. Otherwise, I can definitely recommend a visit! 👍 Addendum: I actually can't understand some of the negative reviews. Above all, I found the restaurant to be clean. As of: end of November 2024

Billig, Viele Optionen und freundliche Kellner. Wird besser wenn die grillen Fleisch weniger scharfe und mehr Süß & Sauer

Ich war begeistert von diesem Restaurant, das Angebot an Speisen ist hervorragend ,die Atmosphäre hat mir sehr gefallen. Der Servier-roboter ist ein Erlebnis für Kinder. Wir hatten eine Familiengeburtstagsfeier. Endlich musst du mal keiner mehr an seinem Platz sitzen, ohne sich zu bewegen . Bedienung war sehr freundlich, alles ordentlich ,kann ich nur jeden empfehlen. Der Festpreis ist sehr moderat, für diese große Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken. Gerne immer wieder.

Great buffet, everything your heart desires

Unfortunately I can only report negative things. The welcome was inadequate, numerous corners were significantly dirty, the tables were not cleaned and the cutlery was also unclean. It also gives a bad impression if a restaurant has only been open for 20 minutes and the waiter appears in dirty clothing; In my opinion, this indicates an overall lack of cleanliness.

Thanks to BellaBot, the service here is excellent😛. We only get together in close proximity every 2 months. However, the lunch buffet quickly ensured that the lucky boat would be headed for when it was time for refreshments. The buffet offers a good selection of fresh dishes. In terms of price, you can get away with it extremely cheaply. And the hospitality is very friendly. You can tell that a lot of effort is being made to satisfy the guest - using simple means.

Had something of a distaste for crowds.

We were here once for the lunch buffet and once for the evening buffet, my review refers to the last visit to the evening buffet during the week. The sushi was disastrous. Very little choice, far too much rice, just doesn't taste good. The fish selection for the grill wasn't bad, although the result was burnt and undercooked. Really a shame. The ice was crystallized. I didn't try all of the Asian dishes, what I did taste didn't taste good at all and was of a much lower quality than what the average Asian eats. The soft drinks from the dispenser had neither gas nor taste, but the selection of drinks in the refrigerators was satisfactory. The soft ice cream was delicious. The cake was fine. There was no waffle batter for the waffle iron. The coffee machine was broken but was repaired. Conclusion: I would not visit the restaurant again because my expectations at the evening buffet were not even met. This would be: Sushi of at least supermarket quality, non-crystallized ice, cooked, unfired fish on the grill and Asian dishes that you don't have to suffer through. Of course the restaurant has to make a profit, but not by eating food that is too salty so that you have to drink a lot of fluids and become full quickly.

The ambience, atmosphere and food resembles a rocky 3-star hotel. Next to our table it was messy, stacked chairs, a rubber glove, everything seems messy and not clean. The buffet was unappetizingly prepared, careless and what I ate didn't taste good. The sauces are completely over-seasoned with soy sauce. I had shrimp fried and they were served cold by a robot 30 minutes later. I'm still at a loss for words. Never again!

Very inexpensive experience, good food, always happy

Food has decreased significantly. The ambience is like a train station hall.

Unfortunately always very full! Long queues at the buffet! But, food really tasty.

Price performance is completely okay. The employees are friendly. Offer could be more diverse. It is still recommended.

The food was good and the atmosphere was ok. Drink and eat as much as you can.

We've been happy to come for the second time now and it's really developed for the better. I can only recommend it to everyone. The main waiter is a really great guy. The food tastes good and we really like the atmosphere

We were in the Glücksboot yesterday for my birthday, I would like to thank all the staff and hard-working employees. Everything was delicious and plentiful and a very friendly staff. THANKS!!!

Price-performance ratio is great, very good atmosphere and a small robot in use.

We were there with a group of 6 people. We were really looking forward to the food but were very disappointed. Food: The counter is huge and at first glance there is a large selection, but everything was always empty or had been there for ages. The sushi is not sushi... you get the feeling of 4 star sushi at Rewe. The duck was mushy and ultra fatty. In my opinion, the "fresh fish/meat" offer was not fresh (which was later confirmed for me, as I got quite a stomach ache and spent the night on the toilet). The rice and the Peking soup were the only things that tasted good. Service: A man kept coming and asking if everything was OK and if he could do something good for us. At the end he also brought us a fresh, warm waffle. The clearer was also very friendly and always picked up the leftover plates relatively quickly. Highlight: The only highlight was the robot that brings you the food that you had previously brought to the Mongolian grill. We liked it: The selection of drinks, dessert bar (although the chocolate fountain was out) and the service. Conclusion: I have often eaten in restaurants like this in other locations in Germany. But I've never experienced such a bad Asian buffet... The Gourmet Temple in Weinheim Baden-Württemberg as an example is perfect. Maybe take a look at this on Google and you'll know what I'm talking about. To my regret, I have to say that I will no longer eat here at Glücksboot and will not recommend it either.

Staff very friendly, food could be hotter, the atmosphere is getting old. The robot operation is original. Prices are fair.

For the first time, I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied

Atmosphere of a train station restaurant, pure mass processing... Everywhere there are corners where utensils are placed (tablets, serving trolleys, napkins) The table and floor were glued. I had to use force to remove my cell phone from the tabletop. The food was so-so. For a buffet offer, I would like the offer to be constantly replenished, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The duck was not as usual, crispy and brown but rather mushy and light. Sushi could not be described as such. Service staff only in the form of a serving robot, which urgently needed cleaning. The last time I was on the lucky boat was a few years ago, and things have slowed down a lot since then. It's a mystery to me how some people give 5 stars here, as the culinary standard seems to be quite flat. This was my last visit.

Lots of goodies in very good quality. The countless sauces on the grill alone are amazing. Red curry is highly recommended and also very spicy. Different types of shrimp, mushrooms, bamboo, you really are spoiled for choice. The duck is not at all greasy and always crispy. All drinks are included. A huge selection, even exotic drinks such as mate lemonade are available in different varieties. Service as usual at a buffet, largely replaced by a robot. Still extremely friendly and accommodating. There is always an offer to prepare something fresh. I've never experienced anything like this at a buffet before. Mega. The ambience is better than the cut. I would also like to come here from further away.

Great price performance, staff nice and accommodating.

One or two meals that were supposed to be grilled arrived differently than they were given, but it was still very tasty. Unfortunately, the popular chocolate fountain was not active. The dishes were picked up every now and then. Due to the high number of customers, there wasn't often table service when it came to alcoholic drinks. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance and, if necessary, to try the food there beforehand.

very nice boss, very accommodating. Unfortunately, ordering the ready-made roast doesn't work very well. There is still a lot of room for improvement there.

Very crowded, uncomfortable and mass processing. That was my first impression after we entered the store. After waiting 10 minutes at the entrance we left again. No reception or allocation to the place because no one felt responsible.

So the staff is super nice and friendly. I found it very dirty, the floor was sticky in some places and extremely slippery in other places. Shrimp was a frozen lump. All you could really do was mess around with an ice pick. Food was cold. The one in the containers to choose and eat straight away. Really everything. We were there at 6 p.m., so I was wondering when they put it in there, my fear was that maybe it was still there from the lunch buffet. Then we had food freshly prepared, the first plate from me came pretty quickly, but the food was cold. My boys didn't get their self-assembled plate at all. They were totally overwhelmed at the front. The absolute highlight was when we paid (had to wait a bit) The person who was freshly preparing the food sneezed all over the food that he had fried. Simply disgusting. You'll never see us there again.

Great service, delicious, extensive, fresh buffet, good value for money, absolutely recommended

Well, the lucky boat is obviously past its golden age. The atmosphere is rather dingy and loveless. Cardboard boxes standing around, makeshift beams that are half painted in the color of the remaining wooden decoration, missing elements of the false ceiling and, very worth mentioning, the service robots. They are dirty and play annoying music. It would be more pleasant to have consistent background music instead of moving speakers that always play the same thing. The food was lukewarm to cold. The peanut sauce seemed burnt to me. The fried meat was fried mercilessly and I had meat and vegetables on my plate that I hadn't added. Something was also missing elsewhere. You were greeted in a friendly manner, and even though drinks are part of the all you can eat principle, I would have preferred a waitress at this point and not self-service. I know good Asian all-you-can-eat restaurants, but this one exudes more of the charm of a canteen at an aging university. Well, everyone has to know for themselves.

Restaurant gives the impression of a train station hall
