Oriental Palast in Lingen (Ems)

They offer a good buffet with a wide selection. There's something for even those who aren't so keen on Asian food. That can be good in groups. However, I prefer the Asian selection. The prices are perfectly reasonable. Service is friendly and attentive.

I think it's good.! Lots of choice, something for everyone! The price is acceptable. I paid €30 with two large beers and a buffet. That's fine.! When you eat somewhere else. You pay that much for two drinks! I was there on a Saturday and it was very crowded and very loud. You could hardly have a conversation! But all dishes were regularly replenished.!

We went there a few times because, among other things, the kids like the shell sink on the toilet. Some things are tasty, but sometimes the seasoning is a bit weak. The chocolate fountain is delicious, but I miss apples with the fruit. The fat is floating in the fountain, which is not on. Unfortunately, the pudding is not sweet at all because there is no sugar. TK Pizza 🍕 from the discounter. The quality is really not that good. Service is always overwhelmed. There are no menus or drink menus, I just want to know what costs how much. The nasty transfer then ends up with a hefty bill. A little expensive but otherwise ok.

Tasty, cheap, good. Great buffet, great selection. Always my pleasure.

Food very tasty. Service good. But atmosphere like in a gym

Unfortunately I had severe stomach pain and cramps after eating. Not again

It's amazing how varied the buffet is on offer at lunchtime. The tastiest meal I can bring my family! From sushi, salads, chocolate fountains and traditional Asian cuisine delicacies to cakes and tarts for dessert, great!

Food was cold and the room was the same

Very good in itself but the ice cream is insanely cold

Huge selection. Everything delicious. Very friendly

Really great! Very tasty, clean and beautiful. Highly recommended!!! TOP

Very tasty and rich selection, great again at any time

A very great restaurant Where you can eat delicious food

Fooling us saying no card payment but it was card payment even though we asked 5 times

They completely ripped us off. The staff was too unfriendly. I was with my friends who weren't keen on us from the start. They greeted us in a completely unfriendly way and took them somewhere in the corner. Everyone else was greeted very friendly, drove to a very nice table and parked in the corner. The food wasn't that tasty either. I have a stomach ache, I don't know what I have, hemorrhoids or something. The hygiene was also complete shit. They then told us that we couldn't pay with a card, but then several people paid with a card and we then asked them about it , they said, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

This lingling creature says it doesn't work with a card but the next person paid with a card

Great food and service. We will go here again. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating, the food was tidy and there was always enough available.

Tried sweet and sour breaded chicken with sesame for the first time. It's so delicious. ♥️

Everything was fine Until we paid because we paid without a tip, the service became unfriendly

Price performance absolutely not justified for the food. The food was ok but I wouldn't visit again.

Had dinner there with the family for the first time on Saturday evening. First impression was impressed. Lots of choice of food, full buffet, you can also have some freshly prepared food there and it will be brought back to your table. Empty plates are quickly cleared from the table. At first you thought, oh dear, that's quick...but if you try lots of small portions, it really makes sense...the table isn't cluttered and it's clean. The selection is really good for children who usually don't like exotic food. Chicken nuggets and the like are also available...donuts, cakes, lots of desserts, everything a child's heart desires...of course also for adults. Personally, I was a bit missing the vegetarian version. Or rather, tofu. Otherwise really good selection of rice, pasta, vegetables etc. The store was packed on Saturday evening but the service was still great and nice.

The food is generally tasty and plentiful, with a large selection of different dishes. The very loud atmosphere is annoying.

I'm East Asian myself and have to say, one of the best all you can eat restaurants!

Everything seasoned to death with glutamate

What we ate was very tasty and fresh and super quick

Had 18 Jell-O. First class. The waitress didn't think it was that funny.

Yesterday, Monday, I had dinner there at 7:30 p.m. There was no need to reserve a table at this hour, there was enough space. The lady who took my call to make a reservation also said that. The service at the place was as quick as it was friendly, but I can't say whether that's the case when it's packed. The ambience of the restaurant - I was seated at a table right next to the buffet - has little charm, which is due to the open-plan character with many tables without partitions. When it's full you won't be able to understand your own words. On the other hand, the otherwise usual, overloaded Far Eastern jewelry design with jade figures, ebony carvings and fish aquariums is clearly reserved, which I like. As for the food, everything you know or expect from a Mongolian/Chinese buffet is there, but with a few exceptions. Some of the ready meals were cold (small spring rolls, fried chicken). What was a real negative point for me was that all the sauces across the board, including those in the ready-made dishes (eight treasures, chicken with black beans, etc.) tasted very bland and elongated. Everyone knows that since the gastronomic calculation also involves the consumption of a lot of drinks, I know all the buffets that I have visited so far that the sauces really pack a punch in terms of seasoning and are usually also spicy. That was never the case yesterday, everything tasted "unexciting" and flabby. This also applies to the sauces for fresh preparation (similar to teppanyaki). Otherwise all containers were filled, everything was there. Unfortunately there was another minus when it came to dessert. The two chocolate fountains advertised in internet photos were out yesterday. The heating was on, but if there was no circulation, the vegetable fat layer, which ensures that the layer hardens quickly, foamed at the top. There was a tiny ladle in front of it, but by the time you had stirred the 10 liter mess a few people were already standing behind you. By the way, the chocolate coating didn't even solidify after 15 minutes of eating the food. For me that is a real reason to deduct a point. The restaurant is currently a real hit here in Lingen, and the prices also feel that way. 32 euros for buffet and 1 large one small coke is quite decent, but still ok. You pay that everywhere today, but sometimes with better quality food. Conclusion: definitely recommended for people who like Mongolian/Chinese buffets, with room for improvement. I didn't use the toilets there yesterday, so no rating. The evening was still very nice, also thanks to the very friendly service.

Large selection, extremely friendly staff, eating there is possible without a reservation as there is plenty of space.

Unfortunately the grill products have way too much salt...I can't eat them.

Average establishment. Expensive for its level. The service, as usual in Germany, leaves much to be desired.

Delicious and friendly staff Good selection of food

The selection of food is good. The quality is pretty okay. We ordered drinks three times until we got something. (The restaurant is half empty) The atmosphere is very chic, the toilets are good. There are a lot of families with small children on the road. (a little louder)

No ambience at all, just mass processing. Friendly staff doesn't help either.

The food is always good. The service team is nice and friendly. You can also go there with small children

I worked as a temporary worker in the restaurant myself. All I can say is that everyone is very careful about maintaining hygiene and does everything they can to ensure that the customer is satisfied. Of course there is criticism, but even then they try to change something quickly. Since I've worked in the catering industry, I've noticed that many people are just looking for something to complain about. It has to be made clear to many people that this job is a tough job and that waiters and workers are only human. And that's exactly why we got tips. I don't know why anyone would want to badmouth the people and the restaurant there, but I was treated very well there. The price-performance ratio is simply insane. There is so much to offer. This is no longer common practice these days. I've seen other restaurants where you have to pay a lot more for less. You can't complain about that. Plus, the selection is so large, there is something for everyone. Yes, everyone's taste is different, but that's always the case. You just have to try it out. And one thing I can say: there is no lack of quality! Sure, there are frozen products that are used, but where are they not? The main thing is that it tastes good, right? So form your own opinion and try it out :)

Everything here is delicious. The selection is very large.

THE BOSS BACKS TIPS! Cheapest food, frozen pizza, herb baguette and something else from Aldi or something, the rest is also very bland, lots of rice and noodles, tasteless sushi, cheapest ice cream from the wholesale market and and and... not worth €24... not even worth €10 worth it. Just a big room, it's uncomfortable and loud, just mass processing, but if you like, have fun there! Tips apparently don't even reach the waiters, but rather the boss pockets them. Heard it on several days when asked by different waiters. Absolute impudence! Especially in the industry where most people work for minimum wage or barely above it.

The ambience is very nice, two drinks were forgotten during service but were brought quickly. The food was quite good, but unfortunately there was a black hair in my drink that didn't belong to anyone in my family. Otherwise quite good

Food fresh, hot, tasty. The staff is friendly, the price is good, I'll be back again.

A very nice restaurant 😊 with good food.... but very loud there... but still recommended 😜

The food tastes very good and is rich and varied. Everything is clean and the staff are friendly and quick to serve.

The buffet is great. Unfortunately the fries were very salty. The children couldn't eat them. Unfortunately the price for 2 children and 2 adults was very high. I think it has become very expensive. We won't come back.

Food was good and cheap, staff was friendly, always cleared the plates straight away,

Everything is fine again and again

Everything is fine again and again

So delicious 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Unfortunately, the food was almost cold by 7:30 p.m. and it didn't look particularly tasty anymore. The staff were nice and attentive. The fruit was a disaster Far too expensive for that

The staff is NOT friendly at all!! We were told several times that we had to eat everything before taking more. In 5 minutes, the waitress came up 10 times to ask what we would drink (we didn’t even have time to look at the menu). The grill tastes over-salted and everything tastes the same. Of all the things I liked, the only ones I liked were the profiteroles and the chicken in batter. At “dessert” we became the laughing stock of the waitresses. They looked at our table, talked in Chinese and laughed at us... We won't go there again

We've been eating there three times a month for years, you could say we're regular customers. We are always warmly greeted and feel welcome 🤗, the food is very tasty and there is really a very large selection of dishes, whether salad, fruit or ice cream with chocolate or without, there is always something for everyone after the rich meal. We really enjoy being here and are grateful that this restaurant exists. Keep it up 👍 🙋‍♀️ LG. Christiane

I would like to share my impressions from my visit to your restaurant yesterday. Unfortunately I was very disappointed overall. The buffet selection left a lot to be desired in terms of taste. Regardless of whether it was meat or fish, the dishes all tasted similar to, unfortunately, many frozen products that tasted like paper. Unfortunately, the hoped-for taste explosion that we know from Asian countries did not materialize here. The only positive was the teppanyaki. The ability to choose your own ingredients and have them freshly prepared by the chef is good. The teppanyaki dish and dessert were okay, but overall it couldn't save the overall impression of the buffet. In addition, we and other guests on site were bothered by the fact that the employees spoke loudly to each other in their local language. It almost sounded like an argument and we found that very disturbing. You want to enjoy your meal in peace and quiet with your family and not hear the loud conversation of the employees. That was really very annoying. All in all, one visit per year might be okay, but we don't need it to be more frequent. We found it very unfortunate that our expectations were not met.

Extremely delicious food and very friendly service We will be back definitely

We had dinner there last night with my family as we are on vacation there. What can I say?! It was incredibly delicious. The waitresses are ultra child-friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately I don't understand the negative reviews, it's definitely the fault of the guests themselves🤷🏻‍♀️ We will now always come for food when we go on holiday here again. You are definitely an asset to Lingen and the surrounding area👍🏼 There is simply something for everyone!! Kind regards 🫶🏻

The food was mostly cold to lukewarm at most, with the exception of the baked bananas which were hot. Some of the meat was raw and two of the four shrimps had not yet been deveined. In addition, the freezer for the ice cream seemed unkempt. The tables were dirty and the staff gave no response when spoken to. All this at a price of €22.90 excluding drinks.

The staff is friendly and hospitable, but the menu could be revised over time. Sushi and grilled seafood cannot be eaten. Raise the price, please review the menu...

We went there spontaneously to eat and got a table straight away. Since it was our first time there, we were surprised by what was on offer and also what was available for children. I thought it was a shame that there were so few service staff, but they tried very hard not to let the lack become noticeable. If we happen to be in Lingen again spontaneously, we will definitely visit the restaurant again.

I'm sorry, but that was the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever had. Condition like startled chickens. Unfriendly, no concept at work, no overview. They gave the whole restaurant an unpleasant atmosphere. In addition, the quality of the food was rather poor. It was only refilled sporadically and selectively. All in all, this restaurant needs a major restructuring in all operations and quality.

So I don't know what people's negative comments are about. We had lunch there with the family yesterday and people, when you go to an all you can eat place, it's just different than an á la cart. We definitely got our money's worth. It was super tasty and we had so much to choose from. You can't complain about the prices at all. From salads and starters to warm dishes, there was always something delicious. And then dessert. How can you not find anything tasty? 😍 I also found the facility really beautiful and very clean.

Very unpleasant. Little choice. The staff is nice, but you prefer to eat in your own bathroom.

Huge selection, delicious and totally cheap lunch buffet.

Years ago the buffet was still very good. Last time there was a lot of cold stuff and poorly seasoned. That was my last time

Phew, with these impressions you don't even know where to start. It's Sunday evening and we, that is, a family of 5, want to go out for a simple and good meal. We have no expectations and no high standards. The choice falls on the Oriental Palace. It was not even possible to reserve a table over the phone. After calling several times, no one picked up. So we spontaneously drive off and enter the restaurant. As usual with locations of this type, it is similar to any other in terms of interior design. Only in dingy. Tables are not wiped down and chairs are not arranged neatly. After a few minutes one of the waitresses shows us our place. As expected, dingy and messy. We respond to the direct question about drinks with an inquiry about the menu. After a long search, the waitress casually handed it to us through the room divider, pointing out that the prices weren't right. The selection of drinks was ok and there is little to complain about here. We were able to collect the bad impressions at the buffet. A cake that has probably been on display for a long time, herb baguettes that were inedibly hard. A frozen pizza that was past its best and an unappetizing chocolate fountain in a questionable color. After everyone had found something for the main course, the feasting could begin. The first impression might be okay, but after a short time the party in your stomach started. Sometimes the fat just ran around on the plate and this was confirmed by the taste. We asked ourselves how little we are actually worth to ourselves. Nobody needed a second round. Dessert? Even here, no one had any more appetite, because the battlefield in the ice cream display was the next big thing. It was clear to us that we had to pay and go home. Just under €150 for 5 people with one drink each. That's a lot for a bit of loveless fryer junk. Let's not even start talking about the cutlery that is left dirty on the table after it falls on the floor. Or the waitress who basically touched it at the front and had the dirty mop in her hand beforehand without washing her hands in the meantime. Hygiene out of place. For us, this is clearly a declaration of bankruptcy for the catering industry. The only thing that counts here is the cheapest possible scrap at a high price. We definitely won't see this place again.

I'm seriously wondering if all the positive reviews get a voucher for it or if we're talking about different restaurants? My family and I have rarely eaten as badly as we did today. 1 star is still too much for me. We were there with our three kids (15-17 years old). It was just before 8 p.m. The restaurant wasn't particularly full. After entering, we stood in the entrance area for 5 minutes until an employee assigned us a (dirty) table. This was no longer wiped off and the dirt was clearly visible. She asked what we would like to drink and after asking for a drink menu she left with an annoyed expression on her face. We could watch her looking for a card in the cupboard for a long time. She then handed it over to us very annoyed and said that the prices there weren't right. Cutlery and napkins were then slapped at the end of the table and we helped ourselves. The drinks were not ordered for the next 15 minutes, so we went to the buffet on our own. Here too we searched in vain for the oh-so-rich, large selection of FRESH dishes. All that was offered to us were leftovers from partly air-dried, hard pasta, sticky mini spring rolls, lukewarm meat dishes to the sad, unexotic Good & Cheap salami pizza from the freezer that no one wanted to touch. After we had had a sparse passage behind us, we thought that one or two dishes had certainly been brought in in the meantime. Here too we were very disappointed. A dish with chicken in curry sauce was simply diluted with a hefty sip of water and the "fried" mushrooms were raw and slightly warmed from a can. My son took what he thought were fried chicken pieces and discovered at the table that they were mistakenly baked bananas and pineapple. These were probably labeled incorrectly. Other chicken parts also consisted of a disgusting mass that looked and tasted like pure fat. By now we were just disgusted by what we had brought to the table on our plates. Partially tasteless, super greasy, cold and not worth a cent. The first son reported with a stomach ache. We wanted to at least convince ourselves of the rest of the buffet and looked at the desserts etc. Dried leftover cake from C & W that had been on display for at least 2-3 days. Greasy, dirty chocolate fountains and empty ice cream containers. Thanks! But we were fed up with what was offered to us. All we wanted to do was empty our drinks, pay and go home. We were then able to observe the service staff wiping everything possible with a cloth without rinsing it once in between. Afterwards, the cutlery (on the tines and spoon tips) was directly touched with the hands. Cutlery fell to the floor and was put straight back on the table. Very unhygienic. When we then had to pay €142.70 for 5 x menu + 5 drinks, it was clear to us that this establishment would never see us again in this life. The service person didn't ask if we liked it and apparently couldn't change any change. So we also had to pay an involuntary tip, which we didn't take for granted after such unfriendly service and a miserable stay. Result 3 out of 5 have stomach pain. Addendum: We often visit good and great restaurants. We are happy to let good food cost a few marks more and are always generous with praise and tips. We rarely have anything to complain about. We're not picky and don't get upset easily about anything. We also understand the work, the stress and the conditions in the catering industry. The total amount of disappointment that evening was simply too much for us, so much so that we can no longer turn a blind eye.

Large and tidy restaurant. The selection was large and there was plenty of everything. The children also found enough to eat. Unfortunately, one of the service staff was totally unfriendly, you could tell she just didn't feel like it. The others were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we didn't like the freshly prepared food at all because it was very burnt and the taste was simply gone. The shrimp were too cooked so they were inedible. Price/performance was right. Toilets were clean

Very nice service and super tasty food, from a very rich buffet with fresh delicacies.

Two stars deducted for unfriendly service and the fact that you are practically thrown out of the restaurant a few minutes before 3 p.m. (the end of the lunch table) 😡 Went there on a Tuesday to celebrate a birthday with about 10 people. All in all it was good, just as you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. The birthday child received a voucher for a free lunch. The service was there, but quite unfriendly. We had to run around three times to ask because of the voucher. Voucher only upon presentation of ID proving that your birthday is today. Even half an hour before the end you get the feeling you have to get out soon. At around 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. we were asked to leave the restaurant in a rather rude manner. We felt thrown out, which dampened the mood a bit. It's a shame for the restaurant because otherwise everything was OK. And there is another way! For example, in another Chinese restaurant we were no longer able to order after the buffet closed, but we were able to sit in the restaurant for a while and finish eating in peace.

I would also like to leave my review. Many different dishes. Everything was delicious. The only thing is that the staff is not very friendly. I want pleasant service. I hope this point will be corrected.

As always, good selection and very tasty

I ate fried chicken and there were peanut pieces in it but there was nothing there and I have an allergy so I had to go to the hospital straight away and they didn't want to do anything about the price

No culinary revelation, that's OK

I was really shocked at the price Money is made here through the drinks

It's been a while since I've been there, but it's just fantastic. The name “Palace” is completely accurate given the interior design. Everything is very clean, nice and fast service and the food is incredibly tasty with a huge selection. From fried meat, to sushi, to cakes and chocolate fountains. Really everyone will find something there. I also think the prices are totally fair for the all-you-can-eat. Always my pleasure!

It's way too expensive. I paid 66 € for a buffet for 2 people: 1 water 0.5, a small one would have been enough and a beer.0.4. Unfortunately there is no menu either. If you eat little, like some women, alternatives should be shown.

It was OK. Since there wasn't much going on, the food wasn't particularly fresh as everything was already lying around. The vanilla sauce is inedible, as thin as water. The sushi was really tasty and the dessert was good too. We still wouldn't come back

It got better and was very pleasantly surprised. Gladly again. There was also a lot going on at lunchtime.

It's gotten way too expensive so don't go there anymore

Chic shop and nice atmosphere but unfortunately when we visited almost all of the food in the containers was lukewarm to cold.

A bit too many people for us personally, but you know that beforehand. Service very friendly. Whether ready-made dishes or putting together fish, meat, vegetables yourself, everything is very tasty and there is a large selection. If you can't find anything there, you're simply too spoiled.

The food is delicious and fresh. Service very friendly. Nevertheless, we would love to come back...

The food is very good, everything is very clean. But the prices have risen a lot.

Actually quite good, but unfortunately the food wasn't hot this time. This should be guaranteed after the lunch break. The ambience simply has the character of a canteen

Good day! First time here. Water was brought in smelly glasses (((disappointed).

We always really enjoyed going there.. everyone finds what they like there.. the ambience is what it is, you shouldn't expect a 5 star restaurant here.. the service staff is always very nice and on the go.. unfortunately in recent times Over time the quality of the food has deteriorated a lot... the chocolate fountains (which I was always most looking forward to) are always out and so all that's left is the stale chocolate with the fatty film already floating on top 🤢 the taste of the sushi also varies a lot, sometimes really good, sometimes so sour that it's not edible... last Saturday it was sooooo incredibly full (unfortunately we were so stupid and still got in) that you had to queue for at least 15 minutes from the buffet and then stand in front of empty containers, and Even the new things that arrived were cold or didn't taste good at all.. we won't be coming back because the price/performance ratio is no longer right..

I can highly recommend this place, we went there for lunch today, the buffet was very appealing, every dish was delicious in its own way, sweet desserts, fruit and ice cream! Many thanks to the patient staff! We really enjoyed it and we will definitely come back!

so delicious and the employees are just too friendly :)

What happened to the prices? There was an offer on Wednesday. I paid €55 for 2 buffets and 2 drinks. Craziness

You can go out to eat sometimes, but it's nothing special. I wouldn't eat there myself anymore. The chocolate in the chocolate fountain has probably been there since day one.

It's expensive, but we eat here every now and then and the food is always great. The decor is nice and the staff is very friendly. There are also a lot of tables, so you can go and enjoy the food without a reservation. 😄

Chinese restaurant with buffet and a la carte food. Food was plentiful and tasted very good at good prices. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, everything clean and tidy.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The main courses were all very tasty. There was a good selection for a lunch buffet. The dessert, well, the Jell-O wasn't sweetened, there was just a cake that wasn't homemade. But there was ice cream and baked bananas and pineapples. The two fountains didn't look good and weren't on either. The younger waitress was very nice. I think the older waitress missed her job. The friendliness left a lot to be desired. On the whole, price performance for a lunch buffet is okay.

Everything was delicious and some exotic dishes were freshly prepared.

I think the restaurant's buffet is good, but I was missing something: 1. I find interior and exterior design pleasant 2. I found the food from the buffet generally neutral, not too delicious and not too disgusting 3. The selection of dishes was a bit too little for me 4. Given the price, I found it acceptable 5. I found the atmosphere pleasant Overall, I would like to eat in the restaurant again, but often not so much because I miss some of the aspects.

Pretty shop. The food was always the same when I visited (buffet) The staff is friendly I think the price is okay However, the toilets could definitely be cleaner

Mega delicious and super friendly, not a long wait and the food is always hot and constantly replenished - there is something for everyone, even fries and nuggets or pizza

Food from the buffet below average, little taste. Not a single item from the dessert buffet was homemade. But the worst thing is that you come to the restaurant at 2:55 p.m., want to go to happy hour, get drinks shortly after three and go to the buffet. When you pay you realize that you have to pay too much and are told that you were there FIVE MINUTES early. Simply outrageous and a complete rip off. So, for those who want to go there, be careful how late you get there. It was definitely the last time for us.

Nice staff and plenty of choice at the buffet, something for everyone! Would love to come back.

Asiatisch mongolisches Buffet Restaurant. Parkplätze vorhanden. Nettes sehr freundliches Personal. Toiletten überdurchschnittlich komfortabel und sauber. Die Lage im Gewerbe Gebiet wird der Qualität des Restaurants leider nicht gerecht. Das Mittagsbuffet war vielseitig von hoher Qualität. Der Preis von EUR 13,90 ist absolut angemessen.

Lecker essen und wirklich freundlicher Service. Immer wieder gerne.

Wir haben extrem viel Tiefkühlware entdeckt. Sogar das Sushi… frittiert wird anscheinend alles in einem Pott… meiner Meinung nach im Großen und Ganzen echt unterirdisch. Die größte Frechheit sind die 3€ Pauschale wenn man nicht aufisst! Sorry aber wenn mir das alles nicht schmeckt, soll ich noch extra zahlen ?! 😂 das einzige was ok war, war der Papagei Fisch… und wir haben fast alles probiert…. Letzte mal für mich gewesen! Ich muss dazu sagen das wir innerhalb der Woche gegen 20 Uhr da waren….

Das Buffet sah nicht nur gut aus, sondern es schmeckte auch alles sehr frisch und lecker 😋.

Leider das Ambiente eines großen Speisesaals. Dafür ist das Essen geschmacklich gut, aber halt das übliche wie bei fast allen mongolischen Restaurants. Der Service ist gut und freundlich. Preislich allerdings kein Schnäppchen. (eine 7 jährige zahlt fürs Buffet schon 13,-€ !!!)
