Gourmet Tempel in München

Nice ambience and delicious food in the Gourmet Temple, we would love to come back!

Unfortunately, the food was more greasy than expected from Chinese restaurants, the soup was diluted with water that didn't taste as fresh as water. Cleanliness isn't the best either, I wanted to take a plate that was dirty, cutlery would be better, maybe I could get new ones, some of them were really tasty... Lamp dirty while eating is really nice. Lots of staff but no cleanliness at all. Lychi juice €5.80 /0.4 is really crazy.

Nice shop with good and inexpensive food.

Very good food and good selection, I would love to come back

Good selection, good food, nice service :)

This review is based on my impressions that I gathered while visiting this restaurant this afternoon (December 7th, 2024). There were four of us and we paid €120 for the “all you can eat” buffet (“Mongolian BBQ” and 3 drinks included). Positive aspects: + There was a subtle selection of different food and drinks, a chocolate fountain, a small selection of sushi, raw meat and fish, which you could have fried directly (albeit with a lot of oil), as well as a few fruits and ice cream flavors to choose from + The service seemed mostly attentive and helpful Negatives: - Most of the buffet food was either deep fried, fried with a lot of oil or otherwise inexplicably greasy, some was very salty, suggesting the use of flavor enhancers - It seemed to me that our cutlery had a film of grease on it and had not been washed thoroughly - The food from the buffet was lukewarm at best - One waitress didn't speak any German at all when she asked in English whether she should clear the plates, the other employees couldn't express themselves at a particularly high level of German - There was no soap in the (men's) toilets and no warm water. One cubicle was broken, which was not marked, and the other had toilet paper on the floor; The stench in the entire toilet room was unbearable and almost spoiled my appetite - We were initially told the price was around €140, even though according to the menu we only had to pay €120. When we explained that we had the buffet with Mongolian BBQ and 3 drinks, exactly as it was on the menu, the cashier asked for the number of our table and walked over to it to check if we really did told the truth and only had 3 drinks. Finally, in front of us, he “calculated” the amount of €120 with a few taps of his fingers using the calculator on his cell phone. I'm not sure what the point was, but it seemed ridiculous and unprofessional. Conclusion: Although the selection of food could be described as satisfactory, it was not of high quality and was mostly fatty and unhealthy. At least there was enough. The restaurant wasn't dirty per se, although I did notice a few bits of food lying on the floor and the greasy film on the cutlery. There are absolutely better restaurants with German-speaking, especially more serious employees, and with "all you can eat" buffets that don't just contain fat in all their dishes. No recommendation.

top price for what is offered 👍🏻👍🏻

Unfortunately I cannot recommend the restaurant. Some of the food was raw. The cake was still frozen and we got the wrong plate from the BBQ buffet… far too expensive for what was on offer…

We were there yesterday. It was so bad the food. Way too expensive for the quality. Dirty. Never again!!!

Price pretty normal for Munich. Eat very well

Super delicious!😁 I recommend you.👍🤩

All you can eat - buffet: selection OK, food could definitely be warmer, selection "manageable". The sushi selection and the live cooking on the grill were good. However, for 36 euros the price/performance ratio is not right. We won't be coming back - unfortunately!

Everything is great, all drinks are included, including alcoholic ones, great Mongolian...

The food was very tasty and the staff was very accommodating

Good ambience, friendly service and the food was great.

Always my pleasure, great fresh selection and very clean. Highly recommended

I haven't seen such a bad restaurant in a long time. The floor, the tables and even the plates stick. The buffet is rarely refilled and there was hardly any choice. The shock fountain looked like a bomb had hit it. It was just dirty and I don't even want to talk about the toilets. After I asked the waiter about it, he just said: there's a lot going on today and we're making everything fresh. He showed little insight. He then gave me a €5 voucher for the next time. I won't eat there again.

Lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. costs 13.90 euros Evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. cost 35.90 euros Food is no longer as fresh as it was a few years ago, even the dinner leftovers or spoiled from lunch are left in bowls for dinner then the guests have to pay for the old one!!!!!!! The store owner also plays slot machines in Merkur, which is outrageous and expensive. On New Year's Eve he definitely charges 42.90 euros per person And for small children 29.90 euros🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Unfortunately a disappointment and no longer what it used to be. The facility is long past its best years. Glue tables and floors. It's better to save going to the toilet for at home. Food so-so. All in all, rather unhygienic and at around 36 EUR per person, too expensive for what you get. It was different a few years ago. Personally, I wouldn't eat there again

Just don't go. Is better. Staff tried hard, but unhygienic and unfortunately not even that tasty

We were there for lunch, eating cold and dry duck, lemon in the special completely brown, after you say the food is cold you only get the answer you can warm it up in the microwave. And no choice

That was by far the worst Asian buffet I have ever seen and been “allowed” to eat. Without words. The two stars are only there because the boss tried very hard. About the ambience: when we came into the restaurant around 8:50 p.m., everything smelled of chlorine because the floor was being cleaned with a very strong cleaner. If we hadn't been so hungry, we would have left the restaurant immediately. Our tip: don't go!

Totally bad food. The waitress simply pocketed an additional 2 euro tip. False information about food on the internet. I feel bad. Way too expensive for 25 euros! Absolutely not recommended.

Tastes bad, don't eat fresh. Too expensive and no quality. I'm not coming anymore

the best Chinese restaurant in Munich

Food was top and good service, friendly staff

Just disgusting. I will never eat there again €35 per person the dishes were dirty the food was cold the rice was dry the lights were so dark we sat in the dark the food we wanted to fry was still raw! It was good back then, but I can't recommend it anymore. My family and I had severe stomach pains all night long

The food was very often cold and old and the salmon was already dried on the sushi We gave something to fry and got it back raw, maybe they were a little fried, I gave it back so they could fry it a little more and in the end I got it back burnt, that didn't work at all The restaurant was very dark and you couldn't make the lights brighter because the waitress said they were too old I was there with my family of 5 people and 4 of them all had stomach ache, that didn't work at all, I had stomach ache for 2 days And then it's also overpriced at €35.90 with drinks for food that isn't fresh And the plates were dirty too The best part of the whole thing was really just the drinks because they were all branded drinks and you can't go wrong, that was the last time I went there

Not recommended at all, very poor quality food. The buffet cost €13, but we were charged €30. Toilets were very unhygienic and there were flies there too.

Food is ok at best, but unfortunately that's the rule in such restaurants. The selection is okay and it is clear that flavor enhancers are used here. Price performance is also ok. Service: Plates are cleared quickly. Friendliness could be even better. Ambiance, the furniture is already very worn. It's okay for lunch once in a while if you're nearby, but nothing more and definitely don't go there in the evening.

The price-performance ratio is right for the price including drinks, this is a great offer

Super tasty, like before. Lots of choice, from starters to desserts, including drinks. Too bad there was no oat milk. Unfortunately, the price has also risen dramatically since last year. We paid just under €36... It would have been nice, especially in good weather, if there was a terrace. Unfortunately, two of the labels were wrong, which is why I accidentally ate meat even though I'm vegetarian. Nice staff and clean restaurant. Now also with a plastic protective cover for the buffet. Protects against heat and flies.

Great food, very large selection and cleanly presented 👍🏻, good and really friendly service ✌🏻, Good and clean atmosphere looks very well maintained 👌🏻

I certainly don't go by the reviews

So far we have only been there in the evening and now also at lunchtime. In the evening the selection is okay, at lunchtime it's almost just fried food and there's a lot less choice. The price is simply too expensive for both times of the day.

It tastes very tasty, it is one of the best if not the best Asian all you can eat in Munich. I like to go there with my grandson and he also likes it fantastically. Drinks are also included in the all you van eat and it has a really large selection various seafood, sushi, meat and sweets in general, I recommend it to you.

Everything was perfect. I'll come back.

The dining environment is comfortable and clean, and the food is fresh and delicious. This is a highly recommended Chinese buffet restaurant!

Very good service and nice operation. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a relaxed atmosphere.

It was just great, everyone was very nice and the food was very tasty.

Very tasty food would come again and again

Food was good and you'll be very full.

Super good food. Newly renovated with a great atmosphere. Service friendly and very attentive. Can only be recommended.

The restaurant is a case for the health department. I definitely won't go there again. I agree with the other negative reviews! I will forward the pictures to the health department!! Something has to happen! That is not how it works. Fish and crabs. Without cooling.

They work from spoiled, expired meat, wash the grilled meat several times a week, the flies usually lay eggs on it at this time

Food was extremely salty, selection was low.. big difference between reality and photos/reviews...

The waiters are friendly, but the food is terrible

Unfortunately the food has deteriorated. Price performance no longer fits. Ice cream tastes totally chemical

Good food, many different dishes, Mongolian dishes are good. However, owner rude... Goes to every table for drinks even when they already have

I was there on Saturday evening, the place wasn't full, you could come in without a reservation and still get a seat. The price of €30 includes unlimited food and two drinks. Quality of food: instead of lying on a good layer of ice, seafood was in thawed water with a little ice. Fried good. Meat is not on ice and not chilled. Too fried, Finished dishes: there was a little bit of everything, visually ok. Sushi 🍣 was ​​ok There were a few kids in the restaurant, so the ice cream counter looked like shit, just disgusting. Drinks: Beer flats sit slightly chilled in the refrigerator. Soft drinks in other, still water are available to you. Wine can be ordered in the small bar. I've been to many all you can eat, I can compare everything very well. Unfortunately not my favorite. Thanks to all the staff, you are very nice and friendly!

Update from 06/2024: The state of cleaning in the restaurant really leaves a lot to be desired! The surfaces and the floor are sticky, food is under the tables, chair covers are dirty and worn, and some of the dishes are not clean. The ambience is similar to that of an open-plan canteen. Many children run through the hallways and play, videos and music are played at high volume by guests at the dining table. Overall, my husband and I felt uncomfortable. The all-you-can-eat-and-drink buffet now costs 30.90 per person on Sunday lunchtime. Review from 2019: Price: cheap, selection: good, ambience: ok, but some worn benches. It is rather loud in the dining room.

Sat down, got food and then after 1 minute found 2 flies in the food. That can happen, but it just ruins the mood a bit. Be that as it may, the food was mediocre to bad, you could eat it, so to speak. The service is anything but professional, I've never managed to let the cutlery fly twice when clearing the plates. All in all disappointing when you look at the overall rating and for the price it is absolutely not recommended.

Dirty, disgusting, mosquitoes in the soy sauce and in the food. Price at over €30 is a complete disgrace. I would never enter this restaurant again.

May 31, 2024 the boss is rude and cheeky and always annoyed!!! I've been here several times but today it was really bad, the food smells, it's not fresh, there's no taste! The sushi was horrible and what's the point that the wasabi for sushi was watered down and watery like a soup the food is not worth the money!!! I hope you read this and you should definitely change your attitude, being so rude and then presenting food like that is a merciless impudence!!!! And this isn't the first time so it gets worse every time. Absolutely not recommended.......

So I don't understand how some people can give this 5*. Greeted warmly at the beginning and brought straight to the table. But THEN the owner came straight away and charged €68 for 2 adults. Which is quite a lot. There are no waiters to bring you drinks. You have to get everything yourself. The food is, well, okay. You'll get full, but it's not a taste explosion. Sushi still tastes good, the rest is so-so. The volume is not pleasant. Our place was only half full. The only good thing is that you don't smell like food after visiting, like some Chinese restaurants do. So I wouldn't go there twice. It's just pure mass production, nothing else.

Sometimes too much of a farmer without behaving.

The food was better and no one is really friendly here anymore... Never again

If I could give 0 stars I would! I will never order my food from this store again! I got chips for €20, the restaurant didn't want to take these crab chips back, after I started arguing she asked me if I could come myself to collect my money because they didn't deliver.

Cool, I can eat whatever I want, what I like 😋It's a pity that I didn't take photos for food, so I thought about food than before to take a photo 😆 A person costs 30 euro and you can eat anything.

Noodles were dry Sometimes there is no chicken either Edible, for the price! I won't buy anything there in the future

I ordered a meal via "To Good To Go"... and was able to choose freely from a buffet... . However, I was forbidden from the salad buffet. The interior was better than the outside... The staff could be more customer friendly...

amazing place with all kinds of food for everyone's taste, affordable and free to eat for children

Food was cold, plates were dirty, toilet had never been cleaned, prices were way too expensive for what they offered

Yesterday we were guests at the Gourmet Temple for the first time. It is a typical all you can eat restaurant and you should be aware in advance that these are not schiki miki restaurants. Nevertheless, you will definitely stay here and get something for your money. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is pleasant and clean, as are the sanitary facilities. But what I really have to praise are the employees and the restaurant manager. I am severely disabled and can only walk a few steps without a wheelchair. Unfortunately there are stairs in the entrance area that I cannot manage with my electric wheelchair. So I have to walk this way to get to the restaurant. But that's really the only problem. But once I was in the restaurant I was treated very helpfully and lovingly. I have never felt so comfortable. To the entire Gourmet Temple team, thank you very much for making our stay in your restaurant so pleasant!

Tasteless food. Not recommendable…. However, the branded drinks and sushi are good

We were there for breakfast, the olives were extremely salty, they didn't taste like anything, a few tomatoes and a bit of cucumber were simply placed on the plate, a few types of cheese, two walnuts, 2 slices of pastirma, it wasn't the way we normally see it from a Turkish breakfast!

Good selection good food nice staff As always good

It's always a special kind of pleasure. The selection of food and drinks is immense - everything is fresh, of course. The restaurant is always kept in good condition and creates a feeling of arrival. The staff is well trained and helpful. All in one, a wonderful experience for the whole family.

Not recommended (anymore). This is mass production of bland convenience products. It's no secret that you usually don't get anything high-quality from AYCE buffets, but glutamate doesn't help here either. The shop is beyond dingy. The ambience has nothing to do with the umbrella term "Asia"; the waiters, all Eastern European, scurry listlessly through the aisles to German rap, but make sure that the dishes are cleared away quickly.

I can really recommend it, we always go there at lunchtime so you can get a good seat.

There is something for everyone, big or small. There's plenty of choice 😃 It's usually quick to refill. All the employees are in a good mood and strive to ensure a good and tasty stay 👌Visually, the restaurant looks great, there are a few flaws (sticky tables, slippery floor), but oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I didn't even know that You can bring your dog with you 😉 What I also have to mention: Drinks (bottles) are included in the price (€30.80) 👍 All in all, I would recommend the Gourmet Temple

As a regular at the "Gourmet Tempel", I unfortunately have to say that my recent experiences have been anything but pleasant. I've eaten there several times and every time I've been disappointed. One of the biggest problems I encountered is the fact that as soon as you get up from the table, the staff immediately clears the table and places new guests there, even if you just go to the toilet. This has happened to me three or more times, and my drinks and food have disappeared without any consideration. In addition to this inconsiderate behavior from the staff, I also noticed that many of the food and drinks on offer were often unavailable. The coffee machine was said to be broken, which resulted in a shortage of coffee, which was a big disappointment for me personally. On my last visit, I waited patiently for my order while my partner was already being served her food. When my order finally arrived, almost three quarters of an hour later and cold, all enjoyment was gone. The quality of service and food at the "Gourmet Temple" leaves a lot to be desired and it seems as if the care and attention for the guests has been completely lost. It's unfortunate to see a place I once enjoyed now spoiled by a lack of respect and poor service. Because of these negative experiences and the declining quality, I will definitely not return there in the future.

The food is delicious, but the grilled seafood is sad. The baby squid and octopuses were overcooked, and the pieces of fish fell apart in such a way that it was not clear what it was. But in general the atmosphere is good, the staff is smiling, the food is good.

Please do not offer sharks. Nobody wants to eat sharks or crocodiles.

Not recommended, so dirty and the food wasn't that good

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice, but the cleanliness could be a bit better.

The food was good, the selection was great both in terms of food and drinks. The price was over 30 euros for 1 adult and 15 euros for a child. Drinks are included in the price The ambience is actually nice, but when you're walking and your shoes are already stuck to the floor, it's disgusting Service was good, the empty plates were cleared away very quickly and there was never anything empty at the buffet

It's like a large canteen, the food is okay, there are enough parking spaces

Unfortunately, compared to before, things have slowed down a bit, but there is still good food with a lot to choose from. Is recommended

Very dirty and cheap looking place. This is everything but reall Asian restaurant. When I asked for a soy sauce they gave me acceto vinegar. Later, they manage to find one almost completly used bottle of soy sauce. Tables were very dirty and sticky. We came at opening so there was no time to get dirty and conclusion is that they haven't even clean it! Food is bad as well. The service guy wanted to charge us for one extra drink which we didn't have... They will not gonna see us again. So bad...

It is an open buffet venue with the all you can eat concept. We liked the service, the waiters are attentive and expert. The place is very big, beautiful and clean. Food quality is somewhat questionable. Since everything is cooked together on the grill, the flavors mix. The cooking level should be adjusted better by the griller.

Absolutely not recommended if there were zero stars this restaurant would get them... Tables, floors and counters everything sticks and is absolutely dirty.. Simply disgusting... Food is cold, mushy and dipped in oil... Dessert looks dried out and old looking... staff is unfriendly... never again..

The food is really good, you can taste the chef's love for the food. I would just like a few more hot dishes. The service is great, a waiter comes every few minutes and takes away empty plates. The ambience is a bit loud, but otherwise very cozy. All in all, I've been there four times now and have always been extremely satisfied!

Dirty bowls, bored "waiters", no one was really interested in anything there, the atmosphere was not very pleasant, the food was not very good, it was OK to say so, they don't have many varieties... we will never go there again.

Unfortunately, the food didn't convince us :( We had the fried noodles with chicken and the curry with chicken. There were hardly any fresh vegetables and the noodles tasted very fatty / oily. I would only give this 2-3 stars, It's a real shame because it's not super cheap either. We've had much better noodle boxes take away from the Asian restaurant for significantly less money. We didn't find the ambience that pleasant either, very uncomfortable light. What a shame actually! I think you could get a lot out of the store... but the concept just doesn't seem as up-to-date anymore. It seems to be more geared towards buffet/all you can eat, that was our impression. We would rather have a fine selection and high-quality food than serve the masses - that is our attitude. The waiters were nice, we have nothing to complain about here.

The food is good, and place is good Reduce one star because the floor is a bit sticky, and the you have to check the plates for all you can eat a lot. Quite often the plates are not that clean

"I've visited this numerous times, and it never disappoints. It's become a special place for me, where I've celebrated a friend's graduation and my own birthday. The variety and quality of food are exceptional, offering a genuine taste of Chinese cuisine. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic flavors and a welcoming dining experience!"

If possible, avoid eating Mongolian meat. It stays there even during the break

We were in Munich on business and unfortunately discovered the restaurant on the last day, otherwise we would have eaten there every day.

I was there alone for the first time at lunchtime (only buffet). Sushi was good, the hot buffet and desserts were ok, the salad bar wasn't great. The waiter was very nice, the boss was a bit grim. which I didn't think was so great; There were half-empty stacked drink crates scattered everywhere. In general it had a somewhat dreary atmosphere.

Very good food, Friendly staff Courteous staff Thanks!!

Boss unfriendly, service staff totally dirty 🤮 Floor extremely slippery, price totally excessive for children, music way too loud. Was there for the fourth time and it got worse from time to time. That was the last time in the dump shop 🤢🤮

Disgusting.... I was at the Gourmet Temple with friends today and I was totally horrified by the staff and their boss 😱 The staff was dressed totally dirty and helped themselves from the buffet with their bare dirty hands and put it straight into their mouths! Two of the staff were drunk or stoned, I don't know but they weren't sober. One of them pushed a barrel of broken glass past the guests and was swaying quite a bit and the boss just looked around in the area the whole time. The floor was totally slippery and dirty! What is also completely exaggerated is that parents with children who are just 7 years old have to pay €16, why? Children might put 10 nuggets and a few chips in their mouths and then eat a maximum of one more ice cream. So we've been there several times and it's gotten worse from time to time. But today, with the staff who were dirty and then reached into the buffet with their pure fingers and ate from it and were also not sober, everything was topped. Never again!!!

If you could give 0 stars I would. It was anything but pleasant. I found it dirty. Questions were not answered. The waiters were drunk and dirty. The fried thing wasn't really fried. Over 30 euros... for such an atmosphere... staff and food... absolutely not right. I will definitely never eat here again.

Very rude Chinese people at checkout! No respect for the guests! There were 10 of us at the dinner buffet, but he wanted to collect money for 11 people! No goodbye, nothing, never again

Unfortunately the lady at the checkout was rude once again. Food is okay, good selection.

The food is more or less tasty, but the plates and cutlery are very dirty. The employee does not know how to calculate change.

Fair price. The food was okay although the sushi rice was gooey. The waiter was helpful and attentive. The music was a little too loud to be a background music.

An impudence !!!! I'll never eat there again. It's so loud and dirty and the food is not tasty at all and tastes very chemical. Never again !!

Good food, reasonable price, good service attitude
