Gopalast Leipzig in Leipzig

It was my very first time there! Conclusion: Once and never again! The selection of drinks seems quite extensive at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are only five varieties, and most of the refrigerators were unfortunately empty. As for the buffet: careless mass production that didn't exactly impress in terms of taste. The sushi can be found at the discount store around the corner; the duck and chicken had the consistency of a shoe sole, but my absolute highlights were the sweet and sour sauce and the Peking soup. A "flavor explosion" of ketchup topped with vinegar and/or cucumber water (that's how I tasted it). The soup was exactly the same, dressed with far too much salt. The whole thing cost us €36 per person. Congratulations!

It's always lovely. I like giving vouchers as a gift for birthdays or similar occasions because it's something different. The selection is amazing; we're always plump when we leave. 🤭

Yes, I really enjoyed it again. I've eaten there three times.

Definitely for people who want to fill their stomachs 👌

Great food and friendly service. I'd be happy to go again.

The treatment wasn't that okay and the prices are extremely expensive.

Absolutely fantastic food! Huge selection! Ever tried kangaroo, lotus root, or frog legs? There's something for everyone. Great atmosphere. Important! Make a reservation in advance, and then enjoy!

Everything is kind of out of a can and too expensive for my taste

The Go Palast in Leipzig is a solid mid-range all-you-can-eat restaurant. The selection is extensive, with Asian classics and Mongolian grill. The quality of the food is OK, but not outstanding. The ambience is typical of a buffet restaurant: large, a bit noisy, but clean. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for a quick, uncomplicated meal.

Extensive and great variety. The grill station could be better. Meat and fish are often fried to death. The ready meals at the buffet are quite tasty. Likewise the dessert department

Very tasty and a large selection, but that's to be expected given the price. The ambience is good but usually quite loud.

Food was like at a fast food place Absolutely not worth the long wait and the price. Very, very unfortunate for that Food is not prepared with love

Even if there is a lot of space, an online reservation is recommended. The rooms are pleasantly designed. I like that the large room is divided. So you can sit quietly and chat.

Good, but unfortunately too expensive.

A bit noisy, but a great selection of food and unfortunately the restaurant can't do anything for the other guests

Unfortunately I/we were very disappointed. Our table was dirty and sticky, as were the refrigerators, where one or two drinks spilled and not just that evening. Glasses and plates weren't really clean either. The service was soberly unfriendly, turned its back on me completely and only talked to my male companion, not even looking at me when she explained to us how things worked in the restaurant. She was very unfriendly and monotone. There was NO vegetarian offer, although this was specifically requested when making the reservation. You could only have side dishes fried. For meat lovers, I would say it's ok, but not outstanding. Due to the sometimes really dirty atmosphere, the unfriendly service and the mediocre food, we were unfortunately very disappointed and would not recommend it to others. Thank you anyway and hopefully you will treat other people a little more kindly than you treat us.

Clear recommendation based on the price for all you can eat & drink. Very large selection, everything seems to be fresh. Hygienically also recommended. Children are also welcome in a separate play area.

We had arranged to meet another couple and wanted to enjoy the child-free evening. So we also noted when making the reservation that we didn't want to sit in the children's area. We arrived and got a table near the war zone (children's area). All the children screamed constantly, making conversation almost impossible. Now it's mass processing and you feel like you're on a super bad all-inclusive Egypt vacation. You can safely save yourself! Better go to a real restaurant.

Eating was a dream again, everything was great except the masses of people and the noise. Unfortunately, that really took us out of the habit. I might try it again during the week, but if it's so crowded and noisy again I won't come back.

Were here on Saturday evening, never again. Totally loud. All you could see were bunches of people lining up to get some food. Meter-long queues for grills or ice cream. Only the waiters and waitresses were quick on their feet as always and diligently cleared the tables.

Everything was great, just the price was little bit too high 33€ per person. Overall was worth trying. :-)

You have to try the food, it was top of the line.

Let's call it an experience... Everyone is full and happy, but nothing more 😉 2 adults, 2 children (6 & 10 years) = 104 euros... worth it everyone has to decide for themselves.

Service leaves a lot to be desired. Waited over an hour for grill order. No food came, even though it was the first thing delivered. Wasn't the first time.

For the course that is available there, it is tip top

When you come to eat at 8:15 p.m., there are sometimes no desserts left. Employees stand or sit bored on their cell phones, the selection of sushi was a joke! Chicken, duck and fries/wedges from the warm things were absolutely no longer edible. Freshly fried chicken and kangaroo were great, beef was unfortunately rubbery and tough. Basically a rest ramp at full price 👍🏼 And for 68€ for two, absolute extortion! At 9:15 p.m. the service was already stressed because a few plates had to be cleared from the table. What an underground way at these prices! First and definitely last visit there.

"So many delicious things, I can't decide." !All you can eat! Something for every taste. It doesn't hurt your wallet either ;). Definitely try it 🤤...

Once and never again! All the food is cold or just lukewarm, which gave us stomach problems the next day. My husband had diarrhea and vomiting that it got so bad that he had to go to the hospital. This company doesn't know that the food must be at least 60 degrees. Everything else leaves a lot to be desired, tables sticky, very dirty plate trolleys, pushy staff when clearing the tables, the toilets a disaster. The 2 stars are for the selection of drinks and the buffet, only the food must be prepared properly.

Purely from All You Can Eat, the selection was really great. Only the meat was too mixed for me personally. Even the chicken. And I'm not a big fan of the clamping procedure (for hygiene reasons). Especially since we got a plate back with meat on it that we didn't put together. Unfortunately, the toilets were near disaster. And for me personally there were just far too many people. You had to wait in line for a really long time for sushi. When it came to sushi, I thought it was a shame that there was only a vegetarian alternative. And due to the large number of people, it took forever until our table was cleared. All in all it was okay, but we won't be coming back.

Super nice facility, very good food and nice staff Not exactly the highest quality but there is a lot on offer and you can eat as much as you want

Very tasty, super clean, staff was quick.

For €36 you get top quality - including drinks, by the way. Maximum selection, quality so-so but all in all harmonious and recommended for those who are very hungry.

You can have a really great meal here, a very large selection at the buffet. And everything is really tasty too.

I think the taste of the food has deteriorated. You feel more and more like you're in a large canteen 🤷‍♂️

The restaurant was very crowded and confusing… The food wasn't tasty at all, the food was just greasy and the sushi was old and tasted like cheap supermarket sushi, and the desserts tasted like they had been thawed and it was an unappetizing sight. The drink wasn't tasty, you have a small choice between a few sodas and juices

It's fun to put together new plates all the time and it tastes really delicious too.

You get what you expect. Of course, such a large all-you-can-eat restaurant doesn't have the coziest atmosphere and doesn't necessarily have the highest quality products. The sushi wasn't a hit, but the freshly grilled meat was surprisingly good. The included soft drinks are also high quality.

We really enjoy eating with you. For the price everything is included except alcohol. You can eat whatever and as much as you want. The non-alcoholic drinks are included, where else can they be found? And the food is so delicious. Thanks to the team. See you next time.

Food was good but cold. Staff was pushy, you're still eating and they want to clear away. Or even better, go smoke outside the door. Price borders on rip-off. Especially since you serve yourself. Toilets are dirty and there is Zewa to dry your hands. Conclusion once and never again!!!

What the formal statement is in the German language: Ladies and Gentlemen I often visit your restaurant during the day with my family. There are nine of us and I usually only eat shrimp and banana juice there. However, I recently saw employees handling fruits without gloves and also preparing tiramisu with bare hands without following proper hygiene measures. This raises serious questions about compliance with hygiene regulations. Since I saw this, I no longer eat all of my meals. I request that you resolve this issue as hygiene and food safety are of utmost importance to guests. I would be very happy if last year's chocolate biscuits could be made again - they were really delicious! It would also be great if there was something with seafood for lunch since we don't eat meat. And another request: Could the sushi be prepared a little differently this time! Thank you!" Best regards Kheda

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to eat their fill

Huge and loud, service unfortunately not good. Eating is like that

Highly recommended, even if you are very hungry👍😁

Were there on a Saturday with a reservation. The line was extremely long but you got in after a good 10 minutes. The selection of food and drink is plentiful and well labeled. The food that was brought to the kitchen to be roasted only arrived after 30-45 minutes, during which time we were already hungry and helped ourselves to dessert and brought another plate to roast. The table was cleared well at the beginning, at some point the empty bottles and plates piled up. You have to say, it was of course well filled but the neighboring tables were cleared again and again. The parking space was very limited because most people were already there early and you couldn't get anything directly in front of the store. There was still parking outside on the street. But for the first visit it was okay. :)

The employees are all very friendly and considerate. Unfortunately, some of the food was a bit cold, but still tasty. What we noticed this time was something we had never seen before: the plates were all pretty dirty. Sometimes you had to reach out 3-4 times to finally get a clean one.

You should be aware that many people go out to eat, which means there is a lot of noise and commotion, and the selection is good. Time limit is difficult given the prices. I think it's a shame, especially when there are children. You feel stressed and can't enjoy it as much. There is a small atmosphere of mass processing. Toilets aren't really clean. Children's play area is available and is also good used.

A lot of seafood, meat, fish, vegetables, salad, grill, sweet, sushi, water is included in the ticket, tasty and filling

There is one price on the website, when they come to the establishment they say a different price

We were completely satisfied, the selection was huge and delicious. Freshly prepared food was always delivered promptly, even though it was really full. Staff friendly, no time pressure when eating, we will definitely come back. Unfortunately I didn't think about photos, but there is something for everyone.

Food was filling and a good choise of beverages.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The prices were very reasonable, and the drinks were unlimited, which was a great bonus. The grill was incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The tables were cleaned and organized quickly, making the atmosphere very pleasant. The variety of seafood and sushi was also impressive and added to the overall appeal. Highly recommended!

We really like the wide selection at the buffet. The all you can eat and drink is definitely worth it for the price.

Everything is delicious, good choice, unlimited soft drinks, pleasant atmosphere

Very large buffet with a lot of choice. Many “specialties” are also available 👍

Food is often cold, you can tell that it is mass-produced.

Lots of variety of food and drinks, cozy, large parking

We arrived and were given a table number and nothing more. It was our first time there and we didn't get any instructions. When we wanted to get alcoholic drinks we found out that you had to pay extra for them. The plates under the buffet were dirty, we thought it was the washing up... For a starter we got sushi, which didn't taste like professional, but like cheap sushi. Later we had fresh shrimp and salmon fried from the refrigerated counter. It was delicious, but took half an hour. Unfortunately we won't be back... for €36. PS: the one waitress who trained the people next to us really well will hopefully get a raise.

Celebrated friends' birthdays there with an all-you-can-eat buffet and there was really a lot of choice, it tasted very tasty, everyone was very friendly and very clean except the women's toilets were very unclean that evening

A little too expensive, but quality and free drinks (non-alcoholic) and the food tastes good. Tips are also included in the price, so you just pay at the entrance and don't have to worry about it anymore. The only thing I don't like at all is how you order/buy alcohol. Very complex system.

We always like to come back! The food is very tasty and there is a large selection. It tastes really good. What could be improved would be: - Cleanliness at the buffet - Clearing the tables - Availability of products throughout opening hours Otherwise everything is good.

It's very tasty there and there's a nice atmosphere

It was really nice again, the playroom is a great thing for the children. So you can eat in peace. Our service person was very nice, but towards the end you could tell that it was nearing the end of the day. Because she started clearing up more quickly around 9:30 p.m. and cleared away the children's drunk bottles more often. This time I also found it a bit unusual that a service employee (with long dark hair) played with her cell phone for everyone to see and walked around the buffet with it without paying any attention to the guests. Nevertheless, it was again very tasty and we were all satisfied.

We were here again after a long time. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has declined significantly, and given the prices... It's no longer worth it for us.

The quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. Too bad.

We are there often and are always very satisfied. Food very tasty, service very good.

We have always enjoyed eating here since it opened. Due to the situation, we haven't been here since 2022 and I was really looking forward to seeing you again: this time even with a child. The food, especially sushi, different types of meat and vegetables, fruit, etc. were very tasty! I don't complain about the taste and I also found the temperature of the food to be okay. Self-service is normal here! If you want to be served you have to go to a real restaurant, that's not the concept here. However, what struck me as very negative is the lack of CLEANLINESS. I had to reach for a new plate 5 times every time because they were all smeared or “decorated” with leftover food. The same applies to glasses and actually every corner in the restaurant. There were disgusting cars everywhere that were smeared. Windows were really, really dirty (they were probably only cleaned with a (dirty?) washcloth). There were also mirrors in the toilet, the dirt was so incredibly visible that I had to dress up in the restaurant and even in front of the people I invited there...I raved about how great and clean everything was! The games area for the children was also an absolute blast. Huge balls of hair lint everywhere, smeared stains and endless dust and bits of scraps. The window from the games area was dirty both inside and out. Really milky smeared... We just wanted to give feedback at reception, without any bad words! And without meaning any harm, they wanted to accept that. According to the lady, cleaning is done once a week (play area) on the weekend and that's what it looks like again until Friday. However, I can see that all the mirrors, windows, shelves and so on have not been cleaned properly for a long time or at least not at all. I would strongly recommend changing cleaning professionals. I loved this restaurant so much, but we actually stopped coming here because we were really disgusted. I also found the €36 was no longer justified, even the service staff took forever to pick up the plates. They used to watch like vultures to ensure that everything was cleared away on time. You felt well served in that regard. I can't say what it looked like in the other corners. We were only at the back on the right side (from the entrance) To be honest, I feel really bad for the sushi master and the cooks at the grill. They still do great work, but in such dirty circumstances. Too bad! We'll certainly give it another chance at some point, but not soon. I hope you take these words to heart, your concept is wonderful. It would be an incredible shame if it were to completely decline in the next few years. I didn't take any pictures, but next time (at some point) I'll add to my review. I'm also happy to be positive if something changes.

The food was great, especially the grill buffet. There was always enough of everything on offer.

Were there on New Year's Eve. In the 2nd round from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Fireworks were announced. The food was already put away at 11 p.m. There were no fireworks from the Gopalast. I think it's a shame because you paid €6 more per person in the second round. The next thing we noticed negatively was that there were more and more foreigners eating there and, as is so often the case, unable to behave. Was our last New Year's Eve in the Gopalast. Very ☹️

All you can eat mit großem Buffet

We found the Gourmet Palast sensational, I can't understand some of the other bad reviews at all, the reception, the waitresses are all very attentive, as soon as there are empty dishes at the table, they are taken away, all the employees were very friendly, and we even found it not loud, it's lost in there, it's a really great atmosphere. The crowd at the front of the entrance may be a little bigger at peak times, but that's spread out in the Gourmet Palace, people sit far enough apart so that it might get a little louder in the games room is completely normal. We were overwhelmed by the selection of drinks, food, etc. Everything was very, very tasty and if something was empty, it was immediately refilled, the huge selection is gigantic. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. We would love to come back again.

Wir sachsen direkt an der gescjir Ablage die Servic Kräfte haben die Teller, besteck, Gläser und Flaschen geknallt Das war sehr anstrengend und laut und es wurde keine Rücksicht auf die Kunden genommen die gleich daneben gesessen haben [meine Familie] ( wir waren sehr gestört davon)

On December 27th 24th around 6:30 p.m. We were offered a table near the toilet. We asked for another free table, of which there were many. Staff refused our request and suggested us to go to another restaurant. We are very unhappy with this disrespectful treatment of customers and the evening was spoiled.

The service staff are very nice and friendly. We were really looking forward to the food, but unfortunately we were disappointed. Some of the food was cold and the meat was very tough. We didn't try the meat at the grill station. The chocolate fountains were not inviting and looked very worn out. Not worth the price in our opinion.

The store was a complete disaster. We drove there for an extra hour yesterday, never again. Everything was disgusting for 4 people who paid 150 euros for lukewarm food and a coke. The only thing you can say is that the Germans were friendly but the rest was questionable, even the supposed shark was certainly not one, it was Pangasius 🤣 you can get it at Netto 🤣

A lot is a matter of taste. Personally, I would have imagined the food to be much warmer. I would have liked the staff to explain how the procedure works. Personally, I don't think the atmosphere is very nice. The non-alcoholic drinks were very good because they weren't cheap and they were really cold. Overall, I wouldn't go there again

Beautiful room, very good service, the food is delicious, I liked it, I recommend it 👌

The food was very good, although there were occasional production errors where the meat in the curry wasn't cooked through or the meat was fried for too long so that it became tough. The service was nice and friendly. The ambience was quite ok. Because there were so many people, it was very loud, stuffy and the corridors were much too narrow. The tables are also too close together so you had to ask the people at the next table if they could stand up for a moment so that you could even get through.

I'll definitely eat there again

Too little space at the tables, chairs too heavy, you could hardly get up to go to the buffet again. As a team of 25 people you can't get along. Too bad. The food and drink was very good.

You get what you pay for. The buffet including non-alcoholic drinks costs €34.90 on the weekend If you expect a gala dinner, it's your own fault. The restaurant is huge and always busy, so it's not a romantic candlelight dinner but more like train station romance. You can have the raw meat and fish grilled by the employees typing on their cell phones, which is certainly not entirely hygienic, but it has an entertainment character. The colleague with headphones in her ear even brings it to the table. Every second plate is cracked, if you're lucky there's a clean one among the decent ones, but there are enough that you'll find one. The small sauce bowls are still washed in the classic way with a cloth between the two grill plates, so it was more difficult to get a clean one. In summary, we were fed up and escaped without food poisoning, there was also a bill when asked, there is so much to do here that I have written my longest review in a long time. Definitely go and see for yourself. In my excitement I forgot to take photos...

Large selection, pleasant atmosphere, nice staff. Great price-performance ratio

It's unbelievable how well everything is organized. Food was great. It was simply great

Food tastes very good Drinks there isn't much choice but still enough for the price from cold to warm Drinks but the toilets men well material saved 1 sheet of scratch paper as well as towels

At least on Friday evening there was a large selection of food. Very loud atmosphere due to its size. Nice staff, but seemed slightly overwhelmed.

Something very loud. But the food and service were great as always. Would love to come back.

You feel like you're in a train station! I was there once, but I don't necessarily have to go back now!

Even if it looks like a large Bahnhofshallem-Mitropa in the photos 😉 - when you're there it's completely different. Pleasant atmosphere. Food delicious, versatile, varied and certainly something for everyone (including exotic things like shark, frog legs, kangaroo...)

It was ok. So if you like sushi you will get your money's worth. You can eat everything from the buffet. The chicken, shrimp, ribs, fish, pasta salad, fries, rice etc. Dessert is OK. You can have your food fried however you like. I really liked the ambience. The service is good and fast

Inexpensive and good quality. Food is enough, although many are probably afraid of the many people. Refills are quick and the service when clearing away is great. I always enjoy coming back to Leipzig from Chemnitz

We were there recently for the first time. We liked it very much. We'd love to come back.

Mass instead of class, dirt everywhere, dirty toilets, cold or lukewarm food, child 4 years old. Have to pay full price, children's area completely dirty and with broken toys. Once and never again :(

Everything went well, very tasty :)

Very tasty food and a good location, but unfortunately overcrowded, it's sometimes difficult to get a seat

Wonderful restaurant, the staff was very friendly, the food and its selection are excellent, in general I spent a great evening there with my family.🫶

Super super nice staff. The selection of food was enormous and tasted very good. Some more vegetarian dishes such as: It could be tofu.

Great meat/fish selection!!! Soft drinks selection also top!!! We can only recommend Go Palast for the selection and the price.

Abandoned, it's been a long time since I've been back, I used to love it, now I'll never go back! Almost all of the plates have chipped edges and some are dirty, the cups are all scratched on the inside, the food is only lukewarm, the brackets with the numbers are greasy, the toilets are filthy! If it looks like that then I don't want to see the kitchen!

That was our first and last visit, we reserved a table at 5:30 p.m. and weren't allowed in until 6:00 p.m. because of the traffic jam outside. According to the manager, we were only allowed until 7:30 p.m., so we reserved and paid for 2 hours but only stayed there for 1.5 hours!!! What unprofessional work and organization. Furthermore, the statement was: “I can only offer you this, do you take it or don’t you take it?”!!! Instead of reassuring the customer and offering another alternative, the manager actually didn't care :) Don't recommend it at all...

Highly recommended large selection of dishes such as sushi, grilled, fish including shark (very tasty), salad bar, desserts and cakes
