Gourmet World Herford in Herford

I am positively surprised by the restaurant. The food is attractively designed and there is a large selection of meat, vegetables,... What unfortunately doesn't work at all is the service with drinks. You have to speak very aggressively to the service so that you can get drinks. The robot that brings the freshly prepared food... is funny.

We were there last night for the first and last time. The service was very unfriendly and hectic. We reserved a table for 20 people and we all sat at different tables. We were very disappointed with the food as almost everything was lukewarm or cold. The freshly prepared one took a very, very long time. The dessert was okay. The buffet of 25.90 euros is not worth it.

The food was good, but I missed the chocolate fountain. I was there for the first time today and was very disappointed with the service. She spoke too loudly and was very rude. Probably stressed. I wouldn't go there again if I didn't have a large amount left on my voucher. But with two people in one evening it was done.

Nice shop, friendly service, atmosphere very good 👍 overall I really liked it.

I was there with my family and thought it was great. There is something for every taste in the buffet, there is a play area with slot machines for children - so they weren't bored after eating and sitting still; and the robots were an experience in themselves anyway 😅 Some people report stomach problems in the reviews. I have a very sensitive stomach and a lot of things always affect me, especially in the evenings, but I felt very well despite 2 mixed plates and a mixed ice cream. I definitely wouldn't have tolerated the frog legs or sushi either; this is more for the adventurers. So it's best to eat what you know and can tolerate so that you don't end up with a stomach ache and a sad review! 😅

The food is delicious but it is very loud

Delicious food with a good selection

If you are very hungry you can eat there. That's what it's good for.

Unfortunately I have to say, it has worn off a lot.

Were here for dinner on November 9th, 2024. The food is great, the selection is very good. The Mongolian grill is particularly recommended. The service was super friendly, but understaffed. It often took a long time for a waitress to come to our table when we wanted to order drinks.

Large selection, quality is as you would expect from the masses. However, I had to ask several times for the glass to be clean because there was either grease or lipstick on the glass, not to mention glass corrosion. The cutlery should also be replaced from time to time. Unfortunately the table was quite sticky. This restaurant is not the cheapest and could do with replacing such wear and tear. The staff tries hard. It's always busy on weekends, so a reservation is advisable.

Good selection and very digestible. Nothing I miss there. Definitely coming back!

Great service, delicious food, always happy to go there

Today, Sunday evening, we spontaneously decided to eat at Gourmet World. And we weren't disappointed. Well, almost, but more on that later. The huge parking lot was well occupied, I said "it can't be that they're all in there". But that's how it was (felt). When we were waiting for the staff in the entrance area, the question arose as to whether it was so cheap or so good. The buffet was very busy. But there were still many tables available, so the restaurant has a very large capacity. There are also separate areas for larger “parties”. Even though it was so full and we had to search for plates, the buffet was well stocked. Except for a few empty bowls here or here, which were quickly refilled. The red curry coconut soup was nice and spicy and delicious, with nice crispy (not dry!) ​​baguette slices. I would have liked to eat more, but I wanted to eat something else 😁 I always have fish etc. fried on my first plate. And now comes the disappointment. Unfortunately the salmon and butterfish were too well done and therefore super dry. The redfish was perfect for that, as it was a thicker piece. Meat and vegetables always end up on my second plate. The frog legs were great, as were the lamb chops, and you have to know how to cook them. Unfortunately, the deer was almost crispy. Pork was also dry, even though it was pickled. Broccoli and sprouts remained nice and crunchy. Great selection of sushi. If you find it 😅 just open your eyes, it's on the side where the kitchen is and around the corner. Despite the wide selection, I missed sushi with avocado. Wakame is really tasty and wasabi has a nice bite and is not bland. The salads with rice, wakame and tuna cream were so delicious that I got a second one. The other one with, I think, raw pickled fish was a bit too fatty for me, but that's always a matter of taste. For dessert there are a variety of tarts small enough to try after the sumptuous meal. A few pieces of jelly, also nice little cubes. I decided on a mini donut, unfortunately it tasted too greasy and I had to leave it alone. With ice cream it was like Russian roulette. The 3 (or 4) signs list all the varieties that are available in the restaurant. But not all at the same time. That means there were around 15 varieties listed and there were probably 9-10 in the freezer. With strawberry, pistachio or lemon it's pretty easy. But papaya or mango... I took this dark yellow ice cream and wanted to know what it was. It didn't taste like mango or papaya. Delicious but undefinable. Ice cream used to taste better in Chinese or Mongolian restaurants. We paid a whopping €63 for 2x buffet and 2x Altschuß (it was dark and not Altbier). When asked if we liked everything, we first said “yes, everything was wonderful”. But then I mentioned about the too through. The young lady apologized so much and kindly and offered us an aperitif on the house. It was a nice ending. We'll definitely be back!

It was a nice evening, delicious food, good service. Only the noise level was too high for me personally. Difficult to have a conversation with the other person.

Very good, fresh food in a modern, great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and you are greeted as soon as you step through the door. There is the usual buffet of excellent quality; the opportunity to have a freshly prepared plate of your own choosing and a sumptuous salad selection. A variety of desserts and a cocktail bar round off the experience.

The food is tasty and there is a large selection. The waitresses often seem clumsy and as if they haven't been working there long. The ambience seems modern and appropriate, but unfortunately it is extremely loud and therefore uncomfortable. Prices are quite expensive, but as mentioned above there is a large selection. I'd love to come back.

I went to the store and thought it would be delicious, but then I was deeply disappointed when I noticed that lemon ice cream wasn't available even though they had listed it. At first I thought I couldn't find it, but no, I smelled every ice cream and tried it there was no lemon ice cream was there for the first and last time

We've been there several times and the food is pretty clear except for beef, no matter when we were there it was always a bit tough. Employees are friendly and try very hard. I just think the play area for the little ones could be cleaned and there are a few toys to choose from. We don't let our children go there

Everything was at the highest level!!!

Today I took part in the “Too Good to Go” campaign for the first time. Dishes (or food) can be saved during the campaign. The app description only says that you should take a can with you for the campaign at Gourmet World Herford. On site, after I showed my ticket, I was allowed to put something in my can. There was no information about what could be taken with you. Neither in the app nor on site. No instruction from employees and no signs. I mistakenly picked up a piece of sushi from the sushi corner and was yelled at first by the chef and then by an employee that I wasn't allowed to do that. Instead of communicating normally or pointing this out in advance, these people became outrageously loud. It made me very uncomfortable and hurt me. I don't think it's okay that the restaurant allows itself to treat customers/guests like that. Just a shame and sad at the same time. Giving food a second chance is a wonderful step towards raising awareness against food waste. But humanity also needs humanity to contribute to a better future... Conclusion: 0 stars for the outrageous and disrespectful treatment of customers/guests. 1 star for the fact that despite the lack of humanity, the food gets a second chance.

We ate buffet style, I don't know if a la carte is possible. The selection was very large and the food was generally delicious. There is also a large area with raw foods that can be freshly prepared, the highlight being that the plate is then driven to the table by a robot. It wasn't very busy, but unfortunately the service wasn't around often, so it took quite a long time until the plates were cleared and you could order drinks. All in all, the food offered was delicious and I think we will come back.

Yes, recommended. Will come again.

We were definitely there for the last time today. Right from the start my daughter had a dead fly in her soup. The taste of the food today was completely different to ours, some of it was cold and the fresh frying took an incredibly long time. There was nothing going on, that was just that. We mentioned all of this when paying. There was no apology or price concession. We paid a whopping €92 for 3x buffet and 3 drinks.

So Handed over my raw meat to the cook What came The raw shrimp that I had put on the plate beforehand. It complains Got an even worse plum wine No, thank you never again. The beer was the best

Unfortunately, the food overall was very, very cold and sometimes very over-seasoned. In terms of quality, unfortunately especially the meat, no more than a maximum of 2 stars. Service and staff friendly and fast.

Delicious buffet with a large selection

We ate from the buffet. The food was generally ok, but not particularly good. We were there on a Tuesday, the restaurant was quite empty and the food took a long time. For dessert, the same piece of baked banana was there the whole time (and I didn't try it). The finished dishes are ok, but not particularly interesting, the selection of the Mongolian barbecue is large. Dessert goes like this, it's interesting that you can make even jelly taste flabby. The ice cream was very popular with the children in attendance. We won't be back anytime soon.

Nice place to dine. Wide selection of dishes. Everything fresh and of good quality. Recommended. Price is reasonable.

As always, everything was great. I really enjoy eating there 👍👍❤️

The food is cold and everything tastes the same. Very loud 😪

A family get together food and ambience was great.

Food is good, selection is also okay, but could be a little more. The waitresses are nice, but sometimes a little too quick when clearing up. Non-alcoholic cocktails are delicious.

Briliant atmosphere and very good food.

No drinks ordered have been delivered to the table for over an hour...

Plates and cutlery could be a little cleaner. I would have expected at least 1 drink to be included (buffet!)…. Diverse and large selection of dishes and desserts were great! Service was top!

THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD The GourmetWorld is a Chinese restaurant with a super buffet. Guests can put together delicious dishes from several types of meat and vegetables, as well as several side dishes such as fries, pasta, spring rolls, salads, etc. Desserts are also provided: from panacotta to ice cream 🍨 everything is represented. If you like Chinese cuisine and want to eat your fill, GourmetWorld is the right place for you. Some of you may not know what a gourmet even is, except that it has something to do with food. The word comes from French and describes a gourmet who knows what makes good food stand out. But no matter how delicious every dish is. It has two major disadvantages! Firstly, it doesn't last forever; At some point everyone, whether a gourmet or a fast food fan, gets hungry again. Secondly, it does not save from death. Everyone has to die - even a lover of good food. Only ONE food saves you from death and ensures that you are no longer hungry. This food comes from the LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS ​​CHRIST. He himself is this food - in a figurative sense, of course. He said to his countrymen: "Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him, and I will raise him up at the last day, John 6:54. "BODY" and "BREAD" are symbols of this Life - here for ETERNAL LIFE that the LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS ​​CHRIST offers to those who believe in him. And for all who believe in HIM, there will one day be a banquet in heaven in which all the biblical celebrities will take part Buffet in GourmetWorld like a bratwurst from the chip shop around the corner. But in order to take part in this feast, you have to get ETERNAL LIFE, and that only happens through FAITH , SHALL LIVE, BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE WILL BE DAMNED, Mark 16:9. And whoever that happens to, that's it for them with a super buffet, be it Chinese or German, etc. They've feasted on it. There's not even a drop of water to drink. I have some posts on my Facebook page that you should definitely check out. I also recommend the video “Hell is no joke” by Rudi Joas on YouTube.

Very extensive buffet, with fresh products prepared on site.

Our experience at this restaurant with the children yesterday was extremely disappointing! The condition of the children's room was appalling. The carpet was dirty and dusty, the toys were old and broken, and the walls showed obvious signs of wear. It's hard to imagine that a place intended for children could be in such a state. A pigsty would probably be cleaner! If you cannot keep the children's room in an appropriate condition, then it is better to close it. An urgent improvement is essential here!

Well, the management is a disaster, they beat the employees, they don't pay them properly, I don't like eating there when I see the kitchen, let's not even talk about the cleanliness

Yesterday I was here with a friend for the first time in the evening to have fish, cuttlefish, scampi etc and lamb grilled. We were very disappointed, cuttlefish (squid) were so chewy like rubber. We even used a pocket knife to cut it. Lamb chop slices too thin, on the grill for too long, resulting in dry and tough. Likewise the chicken skewers. Roasting for far too long makes it dry and inedible. As always, duck and crispy chicken were edible and tasty. Buffet otherwise ok and tasty in appearance. Vegetables were equally good. Tasty and crunchy. Service responds quickly, but is sometimes inconsistent, to put it mildly. Meat should always be left at room temperature for a while before preparation and not directly from the refrigerator on the grill so that it is tender.

Addition: We have been in bed since this morning with stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. My husband still has it at night. Sour is no longer an expression and the health department is informed. Unfortunately that was nothing! I had reserved a table in advance on the phone, we were shown around the store for what seemed like an eternity until we finally got a table that was absolutely dirty. There were leftover food everywhere on the table. Unfortunately, the food was also a disappointment. The fish was still half raw, the potatoes weren't cooked properly and overall it had an absolutely bad hotel food feeling. For 2 adults and 1 child over 80 euros for 3 drinks and a child who couldn't even eat the fries because they were inedible. It's a shame about the money.

Spent my birthday there yesterday. I'm looking forward to getting together with the family. The restaurant was underground dirty. Dust, leftover food on the table and floor. Selection at the buffet was OK. Price-performance ratio is still a disaster. At night there was also the bill. Vomiting and diarrhea. The whole family affected. We left 82 euros there for 3 people. Still lying flat with stomach cramps and nausea. The incident will definitely be reported to the health department. In the reviews, several people had problems after visiting the restaurant. If you care about your health, you should definitely avoid this restaurant! Worst birthday of my life.

The food was very tasty and everything was super tender. The selection is enormous. Nothing was missing. We would love to come back. Big praise to the entire team

The chicken was still pink inside and the taste was not good

The hedgehog is beautiful, the atmosphere too

We had lunch there, unfortunately all the sauces taste almost the same, few fresh vegetables and a lot of fried foods, cool hotel atmosphere, but very pleasant in the warm weather. The selection of fish and meat was very large, great for guests with a big appetite, service at the table was friendly and courteous, unfortunately you could hear the employees behind the counter debating loudly... I think a large bottle of water for 7.30 is a lot too much, unfortunately I hadn't done any research beforehand.

Not the best all you can eat I've been to, but still very good.

The food is freshly prepared, something to suit every taste, always happy, but like everywhere else it has become much more expensive

Food from the buffet and also freshly prepared was very tasty and extensive. Ambience a bit sober, service not so attentive. We'll still come back.

Very tasty food, one of the best restaurants I know, the food was very fresh, the robot was also very cool and there was a lot of food in the buffet. I would recommend it and come again.

I haven't experienced something like this in a long time, something like this from an unfriendly woman who accompanies the customers. The first sushi had a hair in it, the glass was dirty and all the fun wasn't in vain. I will never eat there again. Chocolate was diluted with water. I would have preferred to give - stars. No wonder it was empty there...

Nice restaurant with delicious food. The vegan offering could be expanded

Well, it was better years ago. The selection of sushi is very sparse, the sauces almost all taste the same and you notice how heavily sugared everything is.

We were there for dinner in the early evening. First of all, you have to say that the staff was very friendly and quickly fulfilled your drink requests. The food (buffet) was ok, but seemed as if it had been kept warm there for a long time. Even though it was early evening, the counters around the buffet/sushi looked as if a lot of guests had already eaten there...leftover food spread everywhere. The plate for the soy sauce bottles was completely smeared. The tables were wiped down regularly. Why not also around the buffet/sushi counter etc? And the (women's) toilet was a real disgrace. Toilet paper everywhere on the floor, toilet seat splattered with urine. Mirror smeared. Handwasher smeared. And lots of dead insects on counters/window sills. Very unappetizing!!....this entire cleanliness aspect doesn't invite you to come back!!!!

Great store! I can only recommend. The food is delicious, no question, and there is a lot to choose from. Only the prices for drinks are a bit expensive. But that didn't have a negative impact on my visit :)

I've seen worse food stamps. The ambience and food was good. Unfortunately, the service was very bad, the service person was in a bad mood and you could tell that he had absolutely no interest in his job.

Very friendly staff and very happy with the prices! We look forward to the next visit

Unfortunately the quality of the food fluctuates. The often tender beef was tough and very firm to the bite. The taste was inadequate, as was the case with the chicken dishes. Only the salad buffet, the soup and the dessert were convincing. Were there at lunchtime.

We had dinner at Gourmt Wold Herford today, there is a very nice atmosphere there. The staff is very friendly and willing to provide information. The food is very plentiful, with fish, meat and also a large selection of side dishes. For dessert, ice cream, fruit and cake - just about anything you could wish for. Everything is simply delicious and the price is just good. Once again a big thank you to the nice staff. THANKS. If we didn't live so far away from Herford, If we were with you more often Simply incompetent.

Always friendly and have lots of dishes to offer

The food leaves a lot to be desired. Very large selection, but nothing tastes really good, just so-so. Great parking, great service.

It was very nice there. The food was really tasty, but really 👍👍👍 will definitely go there again.

Below-average Asian buffet with a lot of choice but unfortunately everything is oversalted and also overpriced. We had a small strip of metal in our food and the waiter simply accepted it without comment. With the exception of the statement "probably comes from packaging" we would be left speechless. Can't recommend

Great service, very tasty, great service

Very good but too perfect, certain points are still missing, such as the price-performance ratio. The food is sometimes over-spiced and sometimes under-spiced. There is nothing to complain about in terms of service, the ambience seems a bit boring and some of the seating is damaged. Otherwise, as I said, fine.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but then it was really good. Definitely come back.

Service, food and value for money cannot be topped. We recommend !!!

Great service from robot waiters Large selection at the buffet

On April 23rd, 24th, I was able to observe how the Chinese people behaved as customers in a large group [at least 40 people] in the restaurant, and I lost my appetite and will never order anything from them again or even enter their shops.

The restaurant is lovely! The decoration is wonderful! Food - the sea. Take whatever you want. Both meat and fish. Ice cream, dessert. Drinks and alcohol are paid. We visited on Saturday evening, price for food - 25.90 Black beer - 500 g - 5⁶⁰. But the atmosphere itself is great. There are a lot of people and it is constantly changing. Some leave, others come. I recommend visiting!

Top quality food. Pretty good sushi. Good quality buffet. Nice meal. Definitely again.

After a visit on 4/17/24, the toilet was my best friend

Food is very good. Service is also very friendly. And it's a super clean restaurant. Delicious food, a real recommendation

Very good restaurant! Great ambience, perfect buffet! Appetizing and clean! Highly recommended - we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come back! *****!

We've been going to the restaurant for some time now. It was once very salty and bad. But this lunchtime it was under the weather. The duck was basically just fat, the breaded scampis were covered in too much garlic and tasted old, my husband immediately spat these long breaded scampis or fish sticks into the napkin. Thank God our stomach and intestines are fine. We will definitely look for another restaurant. That's enough for now.

A very delicious meal and everything is great

I bought 3 surprise bags there for 16.90 and the surprise was that not even a 10 year old child could get enough of all three bags. The atmosphere in the industrial area was very run down, the employees were unfriendly and clean was different.

A futuristic experience at the heart of the Chinese buffet. The Chinese buffet itself offers a wide selection of delicious dishes, freshly prepared and offered in attractively presented buffet stations. From classic favorites like fried rice and sweet and sour duck to authentic dim sum and spicy noodle dishes, there's something to suit every taste.

Staff very friendly buffet was ok food was dry and lukewarm, from the grill buffet it was too well done

Yesterday evening (03/22/24) I wanted to enjoy a nice evening with my girlfriend. All well and good at the beginning, then started with the buffet. After the first round I felt unwell and drank some tea. I thought I had eaten too quickly, leaned back and looked at the lamps above me (very dirty, greasy, cobwebs). Shortly after I finished eating, I paid, drove home, still feeling unwell, and fell asleep. During the night I felt cramping pain in my stomach, ran to the toilet, you can imagine more when I say I couldn't keep anything in me, at intervals until the early hours of the morning. Today I'm lying flat, I'm miserable, I have to constantly go to the toilet. I will forward this to the health department because cleanliness speaks for itself, I'm sorry.

Unfriendly staff sometimes don't even understand you.

Unfortunately the food was cold and some dishes tasted as if they had been warmed up again. Unfortunately the duck was very dry and the prawns had a strange aftertaste, which was a lot better.

Just always great. Unfortunately, the plates are not warm and the food quickly gets cold by the time you get back to the table. But that's the only thing that can be criticized. We like to go there.

The new serving service is funny. A very highly motivated employee. Otherwise, the quality of the buffet is consistently good as it has been for years and the staff is always friendly.

Unfortunately, I didn't particularly enjoy my current visit. The food at the "finished" buffet was mostly cold and some dishes were quite dry. Service was okay for Saturday evening and, apart from a bit of a wait, still acceptable. All in all.....it was better!!

Third attempt, eating cold again even though they had just opened, very neutral in taste. We'd rather go somewhere else

A really perfect Chinese 'all you can eat' buffet. Not cheap but great selection of food and quality. We will therefore be happy to come back!

Were there for dinner on Saturday evening. The food at the buffet was cold across the board. There was no more sushi and when I asked they were told it was 9 p.m. and nothing more was being done...which I found to be an outrage for the price!! Definitely the last time there...

I recommend it, an atmospheric restaurant.

We go there for lunch every two months and take advantage of the reduced buffet. So far the price and performance have been OK. However, in recent years prices have risen more than the quality of the food. Yesterday we only got lukewarm, chewy, soggy canteen food for €15.90. The sushi was the only thing edible. We are now looking for another lunch spot in Herford.

Worst restaurant we have visited in recent years. Zero service. You can't even order drinks at the table because there are no staff. 3 plates from the Mongolian buffet put together. The first plate was cold, the 2nd didn't show up, the 3rd came back with the wrong food. Sushi Buffett looked like a battlefield at the start of our visit. And it wasn't even fixed or replenished the entire time. Price 26 euros per person? This is a disgrace for the food. Price-performance is definitely inadequate here. Every Chinese takeaway delivers better food for 8 to 9 euros. And at least you have drinks too. The cleanliness is also more than borderline. The floor is already sticking. And empty plates are not cleared away.

The food was cold from the buffet, no sushi was refilled at 8:45 p.m., the bottom was sticky. Some plates and bowls were not clean. Not recommended for the price. Never had such a bad buffet!!!!!!!!!

Everything great Really delicious 😋

Actually good ambience but cleanliness still needs to be worked on, plates with leftover food and the guests should perhaps either all receive gifts or none of them. The place is very noisy and you notice that some guests get a gift, I ended up paying almost €100... once and never again

In my opinion, the restaurant has declined significantly. I particularly noticed that the tables and floor were greasy and sticky. I was also surprised at several waitresses who neither spoke a word nor had a friendly smile. Only the lady who took our drink request spoke three sentences to us. Two napkins were “laid” flat in front of us and cutlery in the middle. The drinks arrived when I already had dessert on my plate and were brought by a waiter wearing blue jeans with frayed holes in the knees and headphones. He put the glasses down at the front of the table and disappeared without a friendly word. I found the food to be average, a bit too cold and 25.90 is definitely very expensive here!

Fresh food, very good, the place very clean. Excellent value for money

We had the pleasure of visiting Gourmetworld in Herford and we are absolutely thrilled! From start to finish our experience was simply fantastic. The restaurant offers an extensive selection of delicious Asian dishes to satisfy every palate. From sushi to traditional wok dishes, there is something for everyone. The ambience is simply breathtaking. The decor is modern and stylish, and the pleasant atmosphere invites you to relax and enjoy the food. We felt very comfortable from the start and were warmly welcomed by the attentive and friendly staff. The integration of a robot waiter, which gave the restaurant an innovative touch, was particularly impressive. It was fascinating to see how he served efficiently and precisely, without neglecting the personal touch of the service. We highly recommend booking a table in advance as this restaurant is undoubtedly very popular and we understand why! Our visit to Gourmetworld was an unforgettable culinary experience that we can highly recommend to everyone. We look forward to coming back soon and trying more delicious dishes.

Food was poorly seasoned! Rice, for example, was spicy. Many dishes were too spicy even though it wasn't labeled. It was overcrowded. You had to wait 40 minutes at the buffet. Price/performance didn't fit. Quality really dropped. Now after eating your stomach is turning. Never again. Mass instead of class

Super great food. There is a very large selection
