Red Sun Restaurant in Mettmann

We've been coming here for many years and have never been disappointed. The food is great and the service is good too. No complaints whatsoever. 😊

The service was excellent, the selection was good, and it was easy to chat while eating.

I've been there several times and am always very satisfied.

We returned to the Red Sun in Mettmann after two years. A lot has changed, unfortunately for the worse. At the entrance, it says that everything is included, which is only partially true. You can only take a maximum of two beers; after that, it costs €2 per bottle. At a price of €33 per person, with children paying €2.10 per year of age, and considering the fact that the food is cold (compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area), this restaurant is not recommended. Even the coffee from the machine is lukewarm. However, I do like that you have to pay a penalty if you leave a half-eaten plate or drink. My conclusion: Completely overpriced for what you get. The staff (Chinese) are unfriendly—no thank you for your visit or even a smile. The rest of the staff don't speak German. In my opinion, there is no service. For €80 for two adults and one child, you can eat much better elsewhere.

A huge selection of delicious food! Now including any number of drinks at one price. Fantastic!

The food was delicious. It was quite busy in the restaurant on a Sunday lunchtime, but the buffet was always well-stocked and the food was regularly replenished.

Delicious food with a great selection! The atmosphere is pleasant and the acoustics are so good that you can easily have a conversation even when it's busy. All in all, a fantastic all-you-can-eat experience – highly recommended!

Chinese specialties are always fresh and plentiful. Buffet prices, depending on the category, include many non-alcoholic beverages.

Unfortunately, I find it hard to understand the rave reviews. Initial impressions were good: spacious area, no crowds at the all-you-can-eat buffet. Excellent drink selection, and you could help yourself. Prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, the room temperature was a bit chilly (at least that's how it felt). Noise was still bearable, although you could inevitably overhear conversations at the next table due to the generally loud atmosphere. Overall, a rather stressful restaurant experience, not least thanks to the annoying robots that drive around the tables and constantly hum "Happy Birthday." Service was moderately adequate. Used dishes were cleared away immediately after each meal. Otherwise, no eye contact, let alone a smile, from the staff. In my personal opinion, the meals were anything but authentic Asian cuisine. Most of it was fast food, with the exception of the dishes that are freshly prepared upon request (venison, beef, etc.). All in all, it reminded me of a low-end, high-calorie chain restaurant. I'd only recommend it for a one-time visit.

Service has been almost nonexistent since the switch to self-service. Whatever you put together to fry is drowned in cheap sunflower oil. It's loud, greasy, and no longer as varied or fresh as usual. Plus, €33 for the buffet isn't cheap either—too expensive for children, in my opinion. And the robot is beyond annoying.

Very good, delicious food And very friendly staff...

A fantastic restaurant guaranteed to cater to every taste. The entire buffet is huge, with ready-made breaded dishes and/or freshly prepared meat. Beef, pork, veal, kangaroo... Everything is there!!! Plus plenty of side dishes, and if you want, you can indulge in dessert. We haven't experienced a comparable Asian restaurant yet. We will be back soon... The only recommendation for everyone is: Go there and be amazed.

Very delicious food, whether Mongolian, Japanese, or Chinese. Plus, all drinks are free or included in the price. Update October 2025: Went there again today and had a great meal.

Good buffet with a wide selection. Outdoor seating available.

The restaurant is highly recommended; there's plenty of room even for larger groups, and the buffet is always freshly refilled.

Very nice restaurant. Delicious food. Friendly service. Plates are cleared quickly. All you can eat and drink. But for the price, you can't eat that much, even though it tastes very good. A full 5 stars.

If you like Asian food here, you've come to the right place:-)

First time today!!! And not the last!!!! Delicious, great idea!! The robot is awesome!!!! Highly recommended!!!!!!! We'll be back!!!!!

Simply top, lots of fresh and beautiful things, friendly staff, clean ambience

I can only recommend it...quiet atmosphere...lots of selection...even with robots that bring the fried food to the table.

A large selection, very tasty, but the rooms are a bit too warm in the summer temperatures outside. Air conditioning would really be advisable here.

The food was good, really tasty, and varied. However, we were sometimes "forgotten" in the private dining room, and it took a while for someone to come or clear the dishes.

The food was quite good, as always. We haven't been here in a while... The price now includes drinks and everything is self-service... (€33) For that kind of money, you should have a big appetite... the buffet isn't for picky eaters... it's better to order something from the menu. And it was quite loud, despite the relatively few people there.

Best AYCE&D Chinese in Düsseldorf and surrounding areas.

We go to the Red Sun regularly, but unfortunately, my husband, our daughter, and I felt incredibly sick after our last visit. Diarrhea and vomiting followed shortly afterward, and stomach cramps persisted until the next day. What a pity.

Dear team, the food was delicious as always. You're our favorite restaurant, where we always receive a friendly welcome. However, today we're giving you two stars less. Because today the cleanliness of the floor and especially under the tables was appalling. Please pay attention. It's not hygienic and not appetizing.

Update! Unfortunately, I have to deduct two stars – they advertised MSG-free food, and that's why it was the only buffet I could eat. I felt very, very sick on the last two visits. Upon asking, they said: Yes, we also use MSG. Apparently not for very long, because I didn't have any before. But then you have to point it out, and what's the point? The food was always great before, even without the garbage! Great food, although the meat is sometimes half-raw at the live grill. Very nice atmosphere, friendly waiters. We love going there, and would love to go there often, but unfortunately, it's a bit too expensive.

Perfect for a relaxed get-together.

Where to begin? It's simply amazing. There's something for everyone, and you'll always be full. We've been there twice now, and everything is always freshly prepared, and especially the grill, simply fantastic 👍 Once you've chosen something for the grill, the service robot brings it to you 🥰 Friendly staff and great service. Huge selection of food and drinks 😍 We were there on a Sunday, and reservations via the website work great. Thank you and keep up the good work 👏

Good selection, plenty on the plate, fair price. A bit hectic, and the Far Eastern nursery rhymes of the witty serving robot could have been more subtle. Good service, therefore very popular and well attended. On the first visit in 2025, a noticeable price increase was announced. This was coupled with restrictions on the length and size of the buffet. Whether this will be accepted by customers remains to be seen.

All you can eat 🍚🍜 and drink 🍷🍻

Whether dinner or lunch or a birthday party in a separate room everything is possible

Great food lots of different goodies

I can absolutely recommend it. The food is great, the selection is gigantic. I'd be happy to go back.

Very tasty, especially the grill buffet. For €33, it includes a very good and varied selection of drinks. However, the live sushi doesn't seem to be working. There's no one there, and even when you ask the waitress, you can't get the avocado nigiri you want, which they've just run out of.

We really liked the restaurant – the food was delicious, the selection was varied, and the tables were comfortably spaced. For larger groups, they even offer the option of renting a separate room, which we found particularly convenient. The accessible restroom is a bit of a letdown, as the floor was a bit sticky and the changing mat wasn't entirely clean. Luckily, I brought my own. Perhaps there's room to improve this, and then it would be perfect for us.

food was cold, not seasoned enough and there was no fresh food at lunch

I had a lovely evening buffet today at the Red Sun in Mettmann. I highly recommend it. I've been a guest at this restaurant for 10 years and always get fresh and delicious food. Thank you for the great work.

Extra food. Possibility of a large number of different foods to try.

The food was delicious, as always. The €33 was very well spent. The service itself was good, but unfortunately, the waitress spoke little to no German. And she didn't understand us either. But that won't stop us from coming back.

The variety and taste of the food, desserts, and drinks are excellent. On weekdays, it's €33 per person, which includes unlimited soft drinks and 2 glasses of wine or beer. Even if you want more, the extra drinks are very cheap. Great value for money!

I was at Red Sun today and the food was very tasty, 👍 and good,😀😀😀😁

Always good! Friendly staff, good food, and a looooong selection!

Disappointment after concept change – service quality unfortunately significantly declined We have been frequent and happy guests at this restaurant. We enjoy the food, we really like the ambiance, and we have always appreciated the friendly and attentive service. Since the switch to a fixed-price concept including drinks (€33 for "All You Can Eat & Drink"), however, our impression has unfortunately deteriorated significantly. On our last visit, neither our plates nor our bowls were cleared away – even though the restaurant wasn't even full. Instead, at some point, a server came by with a serving cart, stood next to our table, and began piling the dishes on it. It was more reminiscent of a cafeteria and seemed uninviting. Another unpleasant moment arose when paying: Due to a misunderstanding between us, we initially paid by card without a tip – shortly afterward, the cashier asked us in an unfriendly tone whether we wanted to finish the bottle on the table. We were aware that you would have to pay extra for unconsumed drinks, as it was posted on the notice boards on the tables. However, the way the request was made was inappropriate and lacked any sensitivity. We find it unfortunate that the new concept has apparently also significantly deteriorated the quality of service. It was precisely this quality that always made our visits pleasant. This time, we were unfortunately disappointed.

We have better memories of the Red Sun. About a year ago, we went there twice and were very satisfied. The buffet offered delicious food, everything seemed fresh and beautifully presented. So we wanted to go back last night (as we were visiting). When we entered, we were a bit surprised: it was very warm and extremely crowded, with children running back and forth between the buffet aisles and into the path of the friendly robot. When we found a seat, we noticed that the tables were dirty and practically "sticky." I then went to the buffet and saw unloved and dried-out dishes. I still tried a few things, but they didn't convince me (anymore). We had the "grill master" fry/grill one fish and one meat dish. Of course, it took longer due to the rush of guests—but that wasn't the problem. Unfortunately, both dishes were completely dried out—you could say "fried to death." It was a real shame. Then we tried the "sushi conveyor belt"; it was okay, but nothing more. The staff seemed to have trouble communicating with the guests. Overall, we were very disappointed and won't try it again. Finally, of course, we also visited the restrooms, which was another shock for us. This is, of course, primarily due to the guests, who unfortunately leave the restrooms in terrible condition :-(

I've had better food there. Food was very poor. Quality was extremely poor.

Super Buffet A flat rate for food and drinks is possible and reasonable.

Great location for birthdays or similar celebrations. A good selection. There's something for every taste. The waiter bot is funny.

Overall, it's a no-brainer. You help yourself at the buffet. The staff is basically just there to quickly clear plates and dishes from the table and clean up the mess. Even if there's still food on the plate, it's simply cleared away. Language barriers are definitely a problem, as we've had a few wrong orders.

Disappointing – Used to love it, never again We were regular guests at the Red Sun for many years, even though there was a long break of a year and a half recently. The anticipation was all the greater – and the disappointment all the deeper. What once impressed with solid food is now nothing but a lackluster mass-produced affair. The quality of the food has declined significantly – those who value quantity over taste at buffets and the like might still be happy here. We found it simply too bland, too unambitious, and overall disappointing. The always-present "train station atmosphere" has also worsened rather than improved – cleanliness no longer seems to be a priority, and the service staff is either understaffed or absent. Empty plates pile up, and you're forced to either deal with the chaos on the table or transfer used dishes to neighboring tables – that no longer has anything to do with hospitality. The only bright spot: the new self-service refrigerators for drinks – practical because you don't have to wait for a server. But that alone doesn't make up for it anymore. It's a shame, but for us – after so many years – this was definitely our last visit. There are plenty of alternatives in the area that show how to make an Asian all-you-can-eat offering much better.

A regular for years This week we reserved a private room at the Red Sun for a birthday – and like every one of my now over 130 visits, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. As a long-time regular, I can say with conviction: Everything is just right here. Service & Customer Service The staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and pleasantly unobtrusive. The service is always professional and warm. A particularly positive feature is that used plates are always cleared away at the right time – nothing ever looks messy or is left out for too long. Buffet & Quality The buffet is consistently freshly stocked, and the food is always piping hot. The variety of dishes leaves nothing to be desired. A real highlight is the live cooking area: You can select your own ingredients and either watch them being prepared – or be surprised. The finished dish is then brought directly to your table by a moving robot. After removing the plate, simply tap "Ready" on the robot's display – and it moves on. Beverage Innovation Recently, it's also been possible to help yourself to cold drinks from refrigerators – a very practical innovation that provides additional convenience, especially for group visits. Why the Red Sun is the number 1 in Mettmann Because consistent quality, a passion for innovation, and unbeatable value have come together here for years. For me, the Red Sun isn't just a restaurant, but an established institution with a guaranteed feel-good factor. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The Red Sun is highly recommended! The value for money is excellent. There's a large buffet selection with something for everyone. The drinks included in the price also come in a wide variety. A point deduction is due to the poor quality of the raw meat and desserts.

The food was tasty and varied. In addition to the buffet, which largely offers the usual dishes, there is also the option to have ingredients freshly prepared. These are then brought to your table by a "friendly" robot when they are ready. That's quite original. The buffet prices are reasonable. You can help yourself to as many as you want, and drinks are included in the price. One positive aspect is that the restaurant tries to avoid waste. Anyone who returns more than half a plate or half a bottle will be charged €5. A good idea. The restroom facilities were fine.

Great food, loud and impersonal

Delicious food, good selection. Value for money is okay.

The food is very tasty. The service is very quick and nice. I think the price is affordable.

Very disappointing; the buffet consisted only of burnt and dried-out food. We arrived shortly before 2:00 p.m., lunch is served until 3:00 p.m., but there were only leftovers. The drinks selection was quite good, but the €22.00 per person was too expensive. We won't be back.

The food was of the lowest standard and absolutely not good Staff was friendly and very nice The concept with the drinks is well solved

Good food, the service does its best to speak German. Only the robot is way too loud and always plays the same song.

Rich offer There are different buffets: A sushi carousel, "traditional" Chinese food, "Mongolian buffet" (raw dishes are freshly prepared) and dessert (ice cream, cakes, sweets, chocolate fountain). For some time now, the "all you can eat" price of €33/adult has also included a (soft) drinks flat rate, which puts the previous price of €21 plus drinks into perspective.

Easy to recommend but I would be happy to see more unusual meat and sea creatures

My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant! Great food from the buffet, great service, everything very progressive. And the atmosphere is also very cozy.

Large selection, always clean, sometimes a bit noisy

Good food, decent service and for a fair price.

Hello everyone, I've been to Red Sun in Mettmann a few times but today is 100% the last time in my life. The first thing the boss tries to do is cheat when paying and when it comes to drinks the boss is really counting etc. I no longer feel comfortable as a guest at Red Sun apart from the quality of the food, nothing is refilled, it's just waiting for the people who want to grab the leftovers shortly before the end of the day, sorry. People don't buy the stuff, unfortunately it's just for the bin and I can do that 100% say because a good friend of mine works there unfortunately on the whole Red Sun has now become the last of the last it used to be better today unfortunately you only get frass which is actually not even suitable for the pig barrel that's why dear people avoid Red Sun since if you like heartburn and stomach aches Red Sun Mettmann please don't is a well-intentioned advice from me ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

Very tasty food and what I liked most is the peanut sauce and lots of good drinks from small glass bottles.

Friendly service. Delicious food. What more could you want? Always happy😊

It is very loud on weekends. The food is wonderfully consistent.

Great selection at the buffet and very tasty, we will definitely be back!

Absolutely👍the buffet is really highly recommended👍

The selection of dishes is very varied and everyone will find something to suit their taste. A robot brings the food that you can have freshly grilled. Drinks are included in the price, which is simply great. Saturday evening it was very crowded, so a bit noisy. Service is only present upon arrival and when paying, friendly. You can park in the parking garage next door.

There are strange employees who think they are smart, I was there with my five-year-old child and they asked me to pay the bill even though he hadn't eaten anything and I reminded them of the law, to which they apologized because they knew I understood the law.

We were there for the lunch buffet, overall not bad, but would have liked more variety of dishes. The food is delicious, the sushi presentation is interesting. There are many desserts, but they are all ordinary. Large selection of drinks.

Really delicious food. Plenty of choice. You can't even try everything.

Unfortunately the food is only lukewarm. Not a large selection of main courses. Maybe it's better in the evening. Unfortunately the service is very bad. The table is not cleared. Unfortunately there were also discrepancies when paying. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a waiting room.

Noisy, lots of children running around (why this is allowed is questionable). Food is ok. Standard, as is usual in such restaurants. The operating/service robot is programmed with fairly loud music. The table on the left directly at the entrance is very uncomfortable, it is drafty because it is near the entrance and everyone can look at your plate. Service is friendly.

Always well attended, reservations are highly recommended.

We came to this restaurant following an invitation for a birthday. It is a typical all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. The selection of food was okay, but not exceptional either. No highlights were to be expected in terms of taste. Unfortunately, a lot of things taste quite similar. The service was friendly and attentive. It will remain a one-off visit.

For the price you can't complain. The service is quick and friendly. The food and selection is good. With the drinks in the all u can eat offer now, it's twice as worth it. Even with children, who then pay proportionately less, it's a great deal; we enjoy eating there.

For such a large restaurant and for a buffet, the quality was very good. I like that you can try so many different things. The service robot was super cute. I also thought the price was very fair and that drinks were included was great.

We were there for a birthday. Mega delicious food and the ambience was very nice. There is now a buffet including drinks.

The food is of poor quality and doesn't taste good! Prices are getting more and more expensive. Unfortunately no longer recommended!!! There are far better ones!

Very good atmosphere, very tasty food, it was my first time and I was very pleased. If possible, I will definitely visit this good Chinese restaurant again.

Very good selection of food, large buffet, depending on the day and time with a Mongolian grill. Drinks are now included in the price. We always enjoy going there, also suitable for celebrations because of the separate rooms.

Wir wollten nach einen schönen Tag dort Essen gehen es war eine Katastrophe das der Laden voll war ist nicht das Problem aber das buffet war schlecht befüllt die Speisen waren entweder trocken oder leer Schade ☹️ der Laden war für uns sonst immer die erste Wahl wenn wir chinesisch essen gehen wollten

Eine einzige Katastrophe!! Das Buffet kostet 33 € pP. man hat 2,5 Std. Zeit jede weitere Std. kostet 4 € pP. Getränke Alkoholfrei inbegriffen, Bier und Wein gibt es pP. 2 Gläser frei. Der Laden war brechendvoll aber das Buffet leer, man ist mit dem Essen nicht hinterher gekommen, Es ist sehr schade der Laden war mal eine Topadresse.

Very tasty and not as loud as the other providers.

What more could you want 😆Eating delicious food with the family and letting the dear Asian God be God 🤣We were, as always, completely satisfied with everything.

Recommendation goes out because everything fits.

We were there for the first time. I think it's great that drinks are included and the selection of drinks is huge. The driving robot was a viral highlight for the children! The food tasted okay, I found the selection relatively small and unfortunately most of it was cold despite the restaurant being full.

Very nice atmosphere, fantastic service, great selection of drinks! Unfortunately that was it. Everything I tried from the regular buffet was lukewarm or cold. The Mongolian buffet was OK. The sushi looked very tasty, but I didn't try it. Summary: We won't come back because there are better Chinese "all you can eat" buffets in the surrounding area (Haan, Wuppertal).

Very large and lots of choice. Child-friendly with high chairs and a small play area. Price/performance All you can eat including drinks is very good and recommended. It was delicious. Also has a small selection of things that you can buy separately. Thanks for the great little red dragon. Thank you for the lovely evening in your restaurant.

Gorgeous, comfortable and excellent service

Very tasty food, large selection, something for everyone

Affordable all-you-can-eat option with included drinks and Mongolian buffet. The kids thought the rolling sushi was impressive and ran after the delivery robot with great joy... especially when the robot brought singing birthday wishes. A delicious and all-round wonderful experience! However, you have to park in the parking garage because the restaurant is in the city center.

Great, I can only recommend it 😁

Lots of choice, friendly staff, fair prices and clean

Unfortunately the surcharge for New Year's Eve was quite high and it was never mentioned on the phone or indicated on the internet that it would cost €40 per person, with the justification that there would be a fireworks display for customers like us who had reserved at 5 p.m. and at 7 p.m When we left the clock, we never got to see these fireworks. It's a shame that the price has to be increased so much. For the price I found the selection of fruit (dessert) very limited.

Good and tasty food, friendly staff. Drinks package is new but very good.

I can't understand the bad response, we were there for New Year's Day yesterday because it was very full but the food was great, the staff really tried hard, we were very happy, of course a tiny drawback that we also had to pay 40 euros for New Year's Day even though we left early because of the smallest thing our mistake, we didn't pay attention to the board on the door, our own stupidity 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 the little robot was just worth the fun…….we'll be back 👍
