Jin Phönix in Nordhorn

The food was tasty but unfortunately mostly cold.

Everything is great and tastes good!!! Very comfortable to eat together with the family. Thank you for everything!!! Keep it up!!!

We had the all-you-can-eat buffet. Absolutely rich and delicious. From soup to dessert, everything was very rich. Even freshly prepared on the wok grill according to your own composition

All you can eat is definitely recommended 👍👍👍😋

Been here twice so far. Once at lunchtime, once in the evening. Always a very good selection, everything delicious, staff attentive and friendly.👍😋 Vegetables and meat at the Mongolian buffet were too roughly cut for my taste but that's complaining on a very high level.

We were there for the buffet. Food is quite okay, could sometimes be refreshed a bit after a while. However, the selection is quite good. I had the feeling that the service was a bit understaffed at times, but when we were served everyone was very friendly.

We are now regular customers ❤️

The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, unfortunately there is one drawback: the food should have been warmer, it was sometimes cold. But otherwise everything was fine

I was always of the opinion that the Asian buffets were somehow all the same. However, things are different here. The dishes are prepared much more lovingly than I know from other buffets. The staff is also very attentive, so everything is always refilled promptly. In my opinion, it also stands out from the crowd in terms of taste. Definitely my personal favorite among the Asian buffets.

Super good and not expensive. Very friendly staff.

Super tasty food! with camping friends, super attentive and friendly staff, I say... highly recommended.

We were there on a Thursday. What can I say, good, tasty and not too crowded (5 p.m.) but I can imagine it being rush hour. It has to remain something special because I couldn't eat there once a month. But we'll definitely be back

It is a very nice buffet where you can stir-fry. There is a lot of choice, you have fish, duck, chicken and pork and also vegetarian options. There is a lot of staff. And the staff is very friendly. You have a clip that you put on your plate and then you can put your plate at the wok bar and they bring it to the table.

Went there for a buffet meal. There is a large selection of ready-made dishes. The selection of fresh vegetables, meat and fish is also very good. Everyone can put something together themselves. Service is good, empty plates are cleared away quickly. Staff nice and accommodating.

Just ordered something to drink. Everything OK.

Highly recommended (a lot for little) You can eat your fill here for little money. There is a wide selection with something for everyone Food is excellent and well prepared You can only stir-fry in the evening. In the afternoon it is a continuous buffet.

About 4 months ago I wrote a negative review after the change of ownership. We were there again today and I have to say everything turned out positively. We really enjoyed the food and the service was also great. Would love to come back.

Just had dinner here with my daughter. Delicious food. Enough choice . Tomato soup surprisingly tasty. Different again than in the Netherlands. Definitely come here again.

Food was good! Service very attentive. Little to complain about. Everything looked clean and for the price you certainly can't go wrong.

Nice selection, reasonably priced. Clean and fast service for the drinks. We'd love to come back again and again!

We spent a wonderful evening here. If chance took us to Nordhorn again, we would come back.

We were there at lunchtime, 3 adults, a child and a dog. Dog was allowed inside, there was more than enough seating. Food was good and small portions were regularly replenished. The toilets are clean and neat. Parking can be a problem although parking is free under the building.

Plenty of choice at the buffet Unfortunately everything was lukewarm Although the cutlery to remove the food was almost too hot... The service was very good, quick and not too intrusive... All in all, we would come back 👍

Food and service are quite good, but the menu prices on the website are contradictory. There are two prices for each price category if you click on “Menu” and look through and compare them all. Today wasn't a holiday and still €17.90. Some grill dishes are not available due to war and Corona. At least that's how it is at lunchtime and the official version. In my opinion, €17.90 for Sunday lunch is borderline, but just about reasonable.

Very good buffet with a wide selection.

Very nice, very tasty, very nice service, only fries and croquettes are still a bit soft and could be fried longer

Very nice, large restaurant with a delicious buffet. Very nice and attentive service

I recently visited Jin Phoenix Restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and the incredible taste of the dishes. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very cozy, the decor is in Chinese style. I was impressed by the variety of dishes, everything was very tasty, I would especially like to mention the grill. The staff was very attentive and friendly. I recommend “Jin Phoenix” to all lovers of Chinese cuisine. We will definitely be back to try more dishes from the extensive buffet!

So I never used to enjoy being there again, but since the new manager has been there and has been shouting at me so shamelessly when I wanted to eat from the buffet at 2.30 p.m. and she said I couldn't take any more, what was still there to eat was for Orders for outside, and I couldn't help myself even though I left 130 EU for 3 people, and the food doesn't taste like it used to..

I have been to Jin Phoenix several times and I can only describe my experience as satisfied. There is a tradition in our family of visiting the restaurant on our family members' birthdays. This is a traditional buffet. You pay around €20-25 per person for the entrance (prices change frequently). Then you can have whatever dishes you want. Self-service applies. There are a lot of seats, but sometimes, such as on public holidays, many of them can be reserved (this rarely happens). The drinks are not free. A drink costs around €3-5 (as I said, prices change often these days). Now more about the food itself. There is a WOK where raw products such as meat, vegetables, shellfish etc. can be grilled. Then there are two rows of dishes that have already been prepared. These include sushi, meat (4-5+ types), fried potatoes, fried mushrooms, beat noodles, rice with vegetables, breaded meat, sauces, nuggets, fries, croquettes, spring rolls, fresh vegetables (cucumbers, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, carrot) and much more, but of course I can't remember everything. There are also many desserts, such as cake, pudding, bananas, lychee, apples, plums (all fruits come in cut pieces), jelly, ice cream (really many types, but in my opinion some of them taste the same and only differ in one way). Colors. Children always like that, so it doesn't matter), and as I said, much more. There is also Chinese soup, plain rice, and all kinds of drinks. It's worth going to a restaurant like this in a large group, but you can also go there as a couple. In general it is very clean and tidy. There are two toilet rooms where soap is almost always provided and there are also two hand dryers in each. And don't forget, there are different buffets, information about which can be found on the restaurant's website. This is very important because some dishes may become unavailable. Otherwise the restaurant is very nice and the atmosphere there is charming.

We had food to take away, the first things we didn't have, what we ordered was almost raw, and we waited more than 30 minutes

With every visit to Jin Phoenix, I immerse myself in a world of culinary delights that fascinate me every time. During my last visit, I realized that the family that now runs the restaurant puts their heart and soul into every aspect of the operation, which I will discuss in more detail later. I would particularly like to highlight the Teppanyaki experience. The ability to create my own plate with a variety of fresh seafood and vegetables was simply amazing. The chef was not only a master of his craft, but also extremely entertaining and made the preparation a real experience. What has always surprised me was the unbeatable price-performance ratio. The price was more than fair for the quality and variety of the food. The “extraordinarily high prices” I read here simply don’t make sense to me. Where in the world can you get something for less than €23.90 per person these days? Going out to eat - of course you can still find what you're looking for at McDonald's or the Dönermann, but I doubt whether that's more enjoyable. At a time when friendly service has become a rarity, I found Jin Phoenix an oasis of warmth. The attentiveness and friendliness of the staff were remarkable. When I cleared away the used plates, I was always given friendly looks, accompanied by questions about whether everything was as I wanted it. And every time a new plate was brought, I was wished a sincere "bon appetit" - and all this even at peak times, when the restaurant was full to capacity, the personal service was not neglected - simply remarkable! I don't want to add anything more to the above. I strongly encourage every single Chinese cuisine lover to pay a visit to Jin Phoenix and experience this unique experience for themselves.

Update 04-2024: Unfortunately, the clearing area for dishes has now been moved to the middle of the dining room next to the buffet. A very bad idea that pushes the level of the house down one star. A change of ownership seems to start the trend for the worse... --- Clean, heated, friendly, great buffet, good parking. The very large, modern restaurant offers a great selection and the cleanliness here is impressive. Yes, there is the annoying “wait to be seated” here too, but not quite as aggressively as in other restaurants in Nordhorn (Bambusgarten, Frentjen). The selection at the buffet is impressive and the food is of high quality. Unfortunately, the beautiful Chinese roll calendars for the New Year have been saved here too. In the interests of hygiene, guests should be asked not to go back to the buffet with used dishes, that's disgusting.

Yesterday friends and I had dinner here again. At the beginning we only noticed the change of ownership in the new employees, table numbers and the menu. At the buffet it was noticed that the description of the dishes is no longer directly next to the dishes, but above them. However, these were missing from the fresh fish products. As for the food itself, there were new products, but I didn't miss anything. The storage containers weren't as full as the previous owner, but everything was always there. The only drawback I can bring up (objection at a high level 😉 ) for my taste the sauces should be a little thicker, then they would stick better to the products. This is an advantage when eating with chopsticks. I wish the new operators good luck and the old operators a big thank you for the wonderful, delicious hours. I'd love to come back, keep it up 👍

Tasted delicious! Good service!

Excellent quality and something to choose from for everyone.

Eat as much as you want for a fixed amount. Very good selection on a weekday. Inexpensive!

The restaurant is neatly decorated. The atmosphere is a bit too cool for me. People are friendly but awkward. You can order ala carte. It is recommended to help yourself at the buffet. The fish selection is good. I didn't try the meat dishes. Unfortunately, everything is fried and served with the same seasoning. As a result, the various offerings lose some of their sophistication. If you are very hungry and want a lot of food, this is definitely a good place for you.

We have now been to Jin Phoenix twice since the change of ownership. All we can say is.....as always, very tasty! We wish the former tenants all the best for the rest of their lives. We enjoyed being with you. We wish the new owners good luck and keep it up. What we have eaten so far has been really delicious and we can recommend it. We are looking forward to it the next time.

Jin Phoenix Buffet is a true treasure among Chinese buffet restaurants. The service is always friendly and attentive, so you immediately feel welcome. The staff is always willing to answer questions and make recommendations, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The food is simply fantastic! The selection is incredibly diverse and there is something to discover for every taste. From crispy spring rolls to tender Peking duck to spicy Szechuan dishes - you'll find everything your heart desires here. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding and every dish is freshly prepared, which is immediately noticeable in the taste. Also particularly impressive are the numerous vegetarian options, which are just as delicious as their meaty counterparts. The ambience of the Jin Phönix Buffet is as appealing as the food. The decor is stylish and elegant, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. No matter whether you come here with friends, family or colleagues, you immediately feel at home and can completely devote yourself to the enjoyment. Overall, the Jin Phönix Buffet is a real gem among Chinese restaurants. With first-class service, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere, it is the perfect place to enjoy a meal and be pampered. I can highly recommend it!

Had dinner, welcoming ambiance, fresh ingredients, and considerate service. Recommendation for anyone looking for a good all-you-can-eat restaurant.

Tasty food. It's just a pity that drinks have to be paid for separately. That can still make it pricey afterwards. There is restaurant Mongolei on Denekamperstrasse and drinks are included in the price.

We regularly eat a buffet here on Saturdays and it's always great. Yesterday we were totally disappointed. The meat was sometimes tough, the dishes weren't hot and the taste wasn't that great anymore. About a minute someone walked past the table to see if they could clear away the dishes. Very disturbing. Service otherwise very accommodating. Then we noticed that the owner had changed. It's a shame, hopefully things will get better again.

We came here to eat every two weeks. Recently the ownership has changed, which has also reduced the food. It is no longer refilled as often as before. Hopefully this will change over time. Very unfortunate, because we were always satisfied

Eat? The typical “Chinese” food. However, it has nothing to do with it. Frozen goods, that's how it tasted. Never again

Was here for the first time today, reasonable prices, plenty of choice at the buffet. I was there at lunchtime and it wasn't too crowded. I'd be happy to come back.

Nice concept but food was downright bad the last time. Lots of chicken. Not much alternative and there was meat in the fish.

I was there for the first time. The food was okay. You only have to say twice that the soup is up before it is refilled. The knife and fork were all gone. The service still needs a bit of work. Otherwise good.

The buffet was very good. It was filled again and again. The service was excellent

Lots of choice and really tasty.

Delicious food. We'd love to come back.

I liked it here. Very nice staff, clean and varied food.

Good food and a very large selection I go there often and can only recommend it

Price/performance ratio: lunchtime brunch 14.50, half liter of cola 4.50

It's a good place and the food is delicious specially at the grill buffet it's fresh and lecker the only problem no windows open and tooo hot when too much people inside and before was place for kid's now no.

Im großen und ganzen alles in Ordnung

Great ambience, very good selection of food. And decent service. I can really recommend it 👍👍

Truly the dirtiest restaurant we have ever been to. All the food was old, hard or tasteless. I've tried everything and haven't found anything good to say about it. Even the desserts were disgusting. And you can kill people with the donuts. Once and never again.

Super nice, helpful staff, we always like coming here 👍👍👍

köstliches essen und noch nie so viel auswahl gesehen!

Immer wieder ein Genuss! Hier gibt es für jeden Liebhaber etwas! Die Speisen sind frisch und lecker. Mittags finde ich persönlich ist es noch besser, da weniger Betrieb und auch das Krabbenbrot noch besser ist! Es gibt fast schon zuviel Auswahl. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist spitze!

Beste China Restaurant in der Umgebung.

Vielleicht waren wir einfach am falschen Tag in diesem Restaurant. Der Ruf ist gut und so haben wir für Samstag einen Tisch reserviert. Ich bat noch am Telefon um einen schönen und ruhigen Platz. Naja, das war es dann auch. Wir saßen an einem 2 Personen Tisch und gefühlt sind während unseres Aufenthaltes hunderte von Menschen an uns vorbeigezogen. Ich habe mich noch nie so gestört gefühlt - beim Abendessen. Das war nicht schön und das Essen wurde zur Nebensache. Das Essen war in Ordnung. Ich komme nicht wieder!

Massenabfertigung..... nichts Besonderes. Das Essen war in Ordnung aber ein "Muss" ist das Restaurant nicht. Die Sauberkeit war in Ordnung. Die Mitarbeiter waren zwar freundlich aber nicht "engagiert".

Gutes Essen, guter Service und fairer Preis

Schlechte Qualität, Essen weniger Auswahl, Service -😕... Ganz Warm, wenig Platz und Getränke Qualität - günstig und kalt...

Waren seit langer Zeit mal wieder hier. Immer sehr lecker und eine riesen Auswahl an Speisen. Wir sind immer gerne hier.

Essen wie immer. Buffet ist halt eine tolle Sache. Leider bekommen die Hilfskräfte im Service mit Getränken nicht Gut hin. Sie hätten viel mehr Umsatz haben können.

mooi restsaurant en prima eten tegen een hele goede prijs

Das Essen ist lecker 😋 aber ziemlich teuer. Was soll, ich komme wider

Es passte alles,das Essen, die Auswahl, die Tische sind etwas eng gestellt aber es war okay

Super Restaurant. Nur zu empfehlen

Das Essen ist sehr gut um längen besser als in Lingen Ich werde ganz sicher wieder hingehen

Super leckeres Essen und sehr freundliches Personal. Weiter so.

sehr leckeres essen! Ich und mein Freund waren einmal eine Stunde vor Ladenschluss erst da und dann haben die Mitarbeiter es uns um 10€ billiger gemacht und die Getränke gingen aufs Haus. Das war sehr nett! Man kann da sehr schön essen. Schöne Atmosphäre

Hervorragendes Buffet. Freundliche Mitarbeiter. Sehr zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Bitte nicht nach 13uhr kommen dann legen die nicht viel mehr hin.Nein Danke da gibt's was besseres .Hier nicht mehr

Anlässlich unserem Hochzeitstag waren wir da essen. Alles perfekt. Gerne kommen wir wieder

Leckeres Essen, schönes Ambiente.

The food was really delicious but some dishes were for my taste a bit too salty.. But overall it was still really a good and amazing experience the staff were very friendly as well.

Essen war gut. Es war sehr stark besucht , denke deswegen wahrscheinlich auch der Service etwas langsamer . Aber alles insgesamt zu empfehlen

Der Service und das Ambiente ist OK. Das Essen war leider nur lauwarm bis kalt. Kann ich so leider nicht weiter empfehlen.

Sehr nettes Personal. Buffet war reichhaltig und gut.

Reichhaltig...lecker...preiswert

Groot all you can eat restaurant, met zelfs een buiten terras. Het buffet is niet mega groot. Je kan ook eten laten wokken met een sausje, dit bord daarna naar je tafel gebracht. Het toetjes buffet is ook niet zo heel groot, maar zeker leuk voor het bedrag. Een parkeerplaats vinden is ook niet zo heel makkelijk daar. Er zijn wel kinderstoelen aanwezig.

Das Essen ist hier sehr lecker und der Service immer schnell und aufmerksam

Lecker Essen und das Personal überschlägt sich vor Freundlichkeit. Service sehr schnell

Tolles und leckeres Buffet. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Wir waren Mittags dort und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen alles super. Gute Auswahl an Speisen, sehr lecker und warm. Immer wieder gerne.
