Restaurant Hongyunlai Hu Xiaodoan in Bochum

Cheap buffet..but according to my taste it is mediocre..Price/performance but 🆗

An incredibly lovely woman works at the reception – a friendly welcome every time! For the “Too Good To Go” pick-up you can come 15 minutes earlier, it works without any problems.

Good restaurant lots of choice at a very low price.

The food was good, it was fresh and was frequently replenished. The employees are friendly.

Food was cold in some places and not sufficiently labeled. Knowing which options are vegetarian would be a start. Service was quick and nice.

01.03.2025 the stay of dogs in a restaurant despite the ban is tolerated! it's an impudence! whether something like that would be understandable!!

We were there in the evening, buffet with drinks flat rate. The restaurant looks nice, but actually it's nothing special, just like any other Asian restaurant of its size. The staff was friendly, but I think it's hard to speak of service. When you come in you can choose a seat and then you do everything yourself, buffet-like, and pay at the exit. In the meantime it will be cleared away. The two stars I give for the service are not because of that, but because of how the buffet was handled. As I noticed, the bowls in which the food is stored are not exchanged, as I'm used to in other places, the new is simply poured onto the old, so it happens that there are rock-hard noodles in between, etc., sometimes it doesn't look tasty and the labeling is also not very well done, sometimes wrong. If it was full and there was no time I would understand it, but when we were there it wasn't particularly full. The food is on average ok, I've known better, unfortunately the selection is relatively small in my opinion, which means you quickly get hungry once you've finished everything and only think of three things that I could have some more. However, I have to admit that I didn't really have the courage to have something specially fried because it was always just poured on top. Despite the chocolate fountain, I think the dessert area is also rather sparse, but that could be because it's winter. In general, I wouldn't go there again because the price and performance aren't close enough for me.

Yesterday we were there for the first time, nice atmosphere. The food is beautifully prepared, unfortunately not labeled everywhere, for example with the sauces you don't know which flavor is hot or not. No labeling for the dessert either. 22 euros without drinks flat 28 euros with. The selection is very limited and I've eaten better for less money. Unfortunately it wasn't worth the trip.

The quality of the food is really bad, just mass production and not tasty. Empty plates and bottles were not cleared away for a long time, so our table was constantly full and not cleared. On top of that, the restaurant closed half an hour before the actual closing time at 11 p.m. and basically left us out the door early. Never again!!!

I've had Chinese food many times, but unfortunately this was disappointing. The rice was burnt, the noodles tasted strange, and some of the sushi was indefinable. The cleanliness of the toilets was limited, you could see where they were cleaning and where they weren't. You stuck to the ground. The sink and mirror were just dirty. Some of the plates were still dirty. The employees were rather silent Otherwise I have to say the restaurant looked really nice, you could sit comfortably and it was quiet. The buffet was also beautifully presented. The drinks were great.

Recommended, moderate prices, large selection, great service.

I'd rather eat a jar of pickles on my couch next time. The food is unacceptable.

Great value for money. Are regularly in the restaurant.

We ordered from TooGoodToGo, wanted to try a new restaurant. Unfortunately we forgot the packaging as this was not stated clearly enough for us in the description of the order. When we reported this to the receptionist, she said that unfortunately the restaurant did not have any boxes that we could use as an exception. When she realized that I really didn't have a box with me, she asked if I had a euro, I gave it to her and suddenly she came around the corner with a box.. incredibly unfriendly, she would have told me from the start, For one euro you can take a box here, but like that?! Well, in any case, the food (90% of it was over-salted noodles) was packed by her, you couldn't choose anything yourself, as I know from other too good to go buffet restaurants. Food was totally salty, we had to throw half of it away because it was so salty. It was never worth the €6 we paid for it. We stick with our favorite restaurant in Dortmund. Never here again.

Were there today with 4 people and unfortunately we have to say that we won't be coming back! Unfortunately, the food is lukewarm, and the selection isn't large; some of the desserts included cakes, etc. from Aldi. Some of the buffet plates were empty so we had to ask if we could get more. The overall impression is also not good or inviting! It's a shame, but the ladies at reception were very nice! We paid €116 for a meal which unfortunately wasn't worth the money. We will continue to go to Xiao!

Very good and with a lot of variety in the buffet

There were three of us for the evening buffet. You can't get worse food... everything is dry and old... I don't know how long it's been there... I wanted to try fruit that's so dry and old (it looks like it was cut and standing a few days ago there). I'm extremely sorry that I wasted so much money for nothing.

We had dinner there on a weekend. The background noise was pleasant. We were there around 5 p.m. Some of the food was from the buffet, only lukewarm and then my husband took a piece of duck and unfortunately it was more raw than cooked... Dessert was also limited. The service was very friendly. But if we go, we'd rather eat somewhere else.

Were there on New Year's Eve, the price-performance ratio was good, the friendly staff would be happy to do it again

The food was cold, the food signs weren't labeled correctly or you couldn't read them, the staff was disruptive while you were eating

Food was cold and didn't taste good

The drinks were dirty and some of the food was cold.

We were there in the evening. We liked the large selection of dishes and drinks. For dessert there was tiramisu, pudding, fruit, other sweets, a chocolate fountain and ice cream :)

Lecker und dank der Getränke-Flat auch nicht "trocken" Gerne wieder

A large selection of main dishes and salads, the ability to select semi-finished products for further preparation for you. Large selection of drinks. Reasonable price. I liked it.

Until recently this restaurant was still ok, but the owner has apparently changed in the last three months and you can no longer get drinks after 10 p.m. Friends of mine were sent away by the staff after they wanted to get something after 10 p.m. and were refused their choice of drinks. It's a shame when you consider that the restaurant is still open for another hour and everything around you is already being cleared away.

Really rubbish of all rubbish, really not recommended at all

It's okay. You can't expect too much then it's fine. The food tastes good. But quality could be better. Flat with buffet and drinks including 3 alcoholic drinks is probably only for 3 hours. Unfortunately I didn't manage to drink more than 1 cola and water so I didn't make good use of it. You feel a bit under time pressure. If you don't care, you'll be fine.

Actually bites Wen Dan now, but no one notices. Self-service for (non-alcoholic) drinks at the all-you-can-eat buffet. The Peking soup was good again, a little too spicy for some. The highlight is the fresh preparation of ingredients in Mongolian style. Cutlery has recently become very cheap, there are no more benches for cutlery and chopsticks on the tables. Extremely pleasant lighting! That's what I keep coming back for!

The institution has a very atmospheric atmosphere, pleasant staff, a girl named Julia is very polite and pleasant, thank you for the evening

Julia is the best worker in this restaurant, the most polite and robotic worker

Very good buffet. Delicious and versatile.

Anyone who goes home hungry can no longer be helped. Everything was very tasty and delicious. Ambience good. Staff great, always friendly and quick.

Ambiance is nice and the service is very nice. The selection at the buffet is limited and some of the food is already dry and cold. And too expensive for that.

Very good prices. The food is very good. All drinks are included in the price, even draft beer. Very large selection. And great service 👍🏻

We were there for the lunch buffet. Most of the food is cold, some of it looks like it has been fried many times and almost everything tastes like nothing. Duck, beef etc. were tough and inedible. Conclusion: we were definitely there for the first and last time

We were there at lunchtime today... . Atmosphere tasteful, music not too loud, so you could have a conversation. We opted for the buffet with drinks - flat rate. The buffet was rich, but the labeling above it was partly very illegible. Now to the actual thing.....dishes were mostly lukewarm/cold, even though it was steaming on the counter.....unfortunately the taste was hardly seasoned, a lot of it tasted like "nothing"...., duck, beef, Squid rings tough / hard / inedible ...... the selection of drinks is positive... Coffee latte inedible... Service from the young lady is very positive. It was our first and last visit.

Short current description of the restaurant. Labeling of the food is NOT CLEARLY recognizable and therefore the food cannot be assigned. The food is visually presented appropriately but unfortunately the taste is not an experience. In addition, only all you can eat is offered, which is pretty steep at €30. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't get my recommendation.

We tried a new one because the quality of our "regular Asian" had deteriorated significantly. And what can I say: it's worth it: delicious, clean, attentive service and €1.50 cheaper.... We'll be back and we'll be happy to do so.

Was here for a birthday and was completely satisfied. The food was delicious and there was a lot to choose from. There's just a small problem: in the bowl of "baked banana" twice there wasn't banana but something with coconut. Unfortunately, no ice cubes or orange juice at the drinks bar.

6 years ago I gave 5 stars. The food was inexpensive and good. We enjoyed coming here 2 or 3 times a year with friends. It has diminished greatly over time. The food at the buffet has become “cheaper”. The selection of carbohydrates such as fries, wedges, potato wedges, etc. has increased significantly. The selection of shrimp, fish and meat dishes has been reduced. There are many little things that have developed negatively. My favorite dishes are no longer available at the buffet there. Today the wakame salad was no longer offered. It's time for us to look for another location for our meetings.

The food was ok but not outstanding. Too little choice. Dessert wasn't great either.

Price performance is top. We find the sushi very tasty and we enjoy something from the grill every time. The included drinks flat rate is great. There is a large selection of drinks. If you don't want anything grilled, you'll find a good selection at the buffet.

Unfortunately, they have deteriorated extremely. Almost all finished dishes taste somehow the same and a bit bland.

Sushis were very old. Salad selection very poor. Dessert selection poor. Has gotten significantly worse compared to last year.

We had the Sunday lunch all-you-can-eat for €29 including soft drinks. Extensive range of food, the ready-made dishes didn't blow our minds. But overall it was ok

Eat a delicious buffet on Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., as of August 2024 for €19

The restaurant is quite large, as is often the case for Asian buffet restaurants. It was clean and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't like the food at the buffet that much. Perhaps due to the heat that day, there was very little sushi and there was also very little fresh produce in the bowls. At times it seemed stale. The very extensive and unusual selection of drinks should be positively mentioned. Unfortunately not for me.

No air conditioning?! Way too hot.

You can eat well here. The buffet is always filled quickly. Cool drinks. Good choice. Nice service

The buffet was very tasty, fresh and plentiful. Everything there was to know about Asian cuisine was also TOP!

I had the toogood to Go app make a reservation for one person. I don't know where to start complaining. It was an all you can eat buffet, I wasn't allowed to pack anything for myself and I was only allowed to take or have something packed from 6 dishes. 1. Fried noodles that were burnt 2. fried rice that was completely hard 3. a duck dish that didn't look or smell appetizing at all! 4. small dry makis 5. Chicken dish that was burnt on the outside but raw on the inside (would like to know how they did that 6. a vegetable dish that you couldn't identify, so it was so burnt that it stuck to the container. (There were a lot of other dishes to choose from that the waitress didn't even let me look at, I'm shaking: "NO NO, you can't take anything from there, you can't look at it for free.") A PURE DISAPPOINTMENT IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH €6. Absolutely crazy! The app is called togood to go and not to trash to go! I would never come here to eat voluntarily, not even for free.

Summary: If you are in the area and are hungry for a Chinese buffet, then you can stop by. Positive: + Comfortable chairs + Ambiance + Coffee included with drinks flat rate + Friendly staff + Clean Expandable: - Presentation of the food - Timely refilling of food - Choice of food - Ask if you know how the restaurant works - More than one type of ice cream - Sushi quality Basically, the restaurant is okay, but compared to its peer groups, the quality and variety lags behind others. The volume in the restaurant is ideal for conversations and soft music plays in the background. Everything is clean and shiny. The presentation and selection of the dishes can really be improved. Instead of removing the remains of the salmon half, a new one is simply "slapped" over it. Some of the dishes looked stale, for example the garlic already had brown notes. In short: once was enough for me.

Bad shop. Food isn't particularly good either. And a child under 3 had to pay 9 euros? We definitely won't be coming back!

Super tasty and totally friendly staff. Delicious beers!

tl;dr: If you're nearby anyway, you can do it. I found the drinks flat rate positive. But you probably won't come back. For a buffet I found the selection to be quite small in all categories. It was also a bit irritating that the food from the buffet seemed warm (felt warmth when taken out and steam) but wasn't really warm. The fried noodles were so slippery from all the oil that they kept flying off the cutlery. My companion noticed that the donuts from the "dessert area" didn't taste good, I think it's worth mentioning because the person is already happy with the donuts from Netto 😅. The person was happy that the jelly also wobbled quite a bit, so it was visually convincing 😁. To be honest, the taste wasn't really convincing either, not bad - but not good either. To be honest, I've had better food from Asian delivery services, even if they only do Asian on the side. The selection of drinks is quite large and varied, so there should be something for everyone and the self-service in the refrigerators in combination with the flat rate is really nice. The service is a bit taciturn and you sometimes wait at the entrance or checkout and look around to see if someone wants to assign/offer a table or accept money... But I have to mention the furnishings and the ambience as very positive. Quiet, pleasant, background music. And extremely important to me: you can sit for a while without your back hurting - many restaurants have chairs made from hell, but that's absolutely not the case here. That was the first time in forever that I didn't get back pain in a restaurant. Unfortunately, that was really the best part of the visit. On the other hand, I also have to mention that the men's toilet smelled very much of urine - even though the restaurant had only opened about an hour before.

Too good to go portion was quite small. You even had to watch as she very selectively puts little into the can. This portion is not worth the €6 purchase price. The value stated in the app is €18. Unfortunately, this is not the ratio for an all you can eat restaurant.

We were guests in Bochum. They advertise a rich buffet, but we don't think it's really rich. We are definitely used to more richness from the Asiapalast in Hanau and the taste is just OK.

We were there right when the restaurant opened. However, the food was already only lukewarm. It tasted good.

Very happy with the quality of the food. Friendly people. Large selection. Celebrate your birthday and have fun.

We've been going by there every now and then for years. So far we have always come back. The buffet can be booked with a drinks flat rate, which is worth it. The quality is appropriate, as is the price. Parking spaces are easy to find. I can recommend the restaurant. A little tip: This restaurant works with the provider ToGoodToGo. If you want to test it, bring a sufficiently large container with you.

Great place and only positive emotions.

Unfortunately I can't say much good things about the place. The only positive thing was our seating at the round table. Both the fried squid rings, duck and chicken were disastrously dry and hard to chew. The chef turned the fresh shrimp and fish into rubber. Sauces are tasteless and the sushi tasted like old fish. But what particularly disgusted me were the chopsticks in the box that were smeared with grease. Grease on cutlery that has not been washed clean and dirty coffee cups. I gave the employee at the counter 4 cups that had greasy fingerprints on the inside and outside. I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant.

Today my friends and I searched for a good restaurant and in the end we selected this restaurant from Google Map. The space of this restaurant was very big and the staff was very nice. The food was tastier and higher quality than we expected. The variety of shrimps and fish caught our attention. The price for the buffet was reasonable. I will come to this restaurant again… 😊

Now more than disappointed. Two hours before the end of opening hours there is only leftover food at the buffet. Food dried out... After switching to the grill station, it was discovered that some of the meat had to suffer the second death. Afterwards I completely lost my desire for dessert. The best thing was actually the König Ludwig wheat beer :-D

The food was extremely disappointing but really extreme. We were only here in March and the ice cream still tasted like ice cream and not water like it does now. Peking soup like it comes from a can is way too spicy. Almost no choice of grilled meat. It's a shame, you used to be very good. Best regards

Very nice service, great selection of dishes at the buffet. There was something for everybody

Good food as usual. Rich selection of delicacies and good, friendly and attentive service. We'd love to come back.

TOP dessert buffet otherwise normal standard Correction 2024: Drinks only until 9.30 p.m., short opening time until 10 p.m. therefore another star deducted

Considering the price, this restaurant is by no means recommended. We were already disappointed with the quality of the all-you-can-eat restaurant on our last visit. This time we were even served Copenrath and Wiese Torte, which is absolutely unacceptable. Instead of chocolate sauce we received oil with a hint of chocolate, which completely ruined the enjoyment. The beef was tough and difficult to chew. To make matters worse, we also discovered hair on the serving tongs. An absolutely disappointing visit that we will not repeat. These high prices are not justified for the offer and are rather an outrage!

I had dinner there with my family yesterday. The food was cold and sometimes not fresh. The conditions sometimes didn't speak to you. The upholstery on the seats was partially broken. The toilets were dirty... We didn't feel comfortable. Dirty dishes, frozen cake, long waiting time. In contrast to a few years ago, they have slowed down quite a bit... we used to enjoy eating there.

That really wasn't for me. We had all you can eat and drink, but my wife and I didn't understand how the system was supposed to work because no one explained to us how it worked. The food was also not as seasoned as I know it from other Chinese.

It was my first time there and a bit overwhelmed at the beginning: what a selection. Everything is appetizingly prepared, absolutely delicious and a wonderful selection. Unfortunately, I was just full.... so I definitely have to go back because, being a very insatiable caterpillar, I also have to eat my way through the sushi buffet and the fresh things that you can put together yourself...;) There is a dedicated parking space, so you don't have to search for long. Since I was invited, I can't say anything specifically about the price, only this much: my two nieces (8/11 years old) were not taken into account in the bill.

I was invited to dinner. Host was also disappointed. Cold food was a shame, I had seafood for the grill, unfortunately also disappointed. Fresh grilled beef was delicious. The whole experience was disappointing for me, 11 out of 12 people also complained about the cleanliness of the plates and cutlery. I am happy to be convinced of the opposite and can also discuss the criticism personally.

The food was always freshly refilled and was excellently prepared. The drinks were all excellent renowned manufacturers. We were there with our friends and had a great evening. Price performance top

Nice restaurant with a typical Mongolian buffet

We were there for lunch on Sunday. Finished dish partly from the day before and therefore dried out. Hair in the food, glasses dirty. Salmon was fried so dead (dry) that you couldn't eat it. Chicken and duck were cured. Beef tough. The waiting time for the freshly prepared food was between 30 and 45 minutes even though the restaurant was only 1/3 full. No recommendation.

The food is great and you can drink whatever your heart desires

Really bad price-performance ratio at the buffet! Little choice of food and very dingy shop. The only plus point is the drinks flat rate.

Been there for the first time. The warm buffet dried up, as if the food from two days ago had been served again. The "fresh" food is barely cooled. It is then supposed to be fried and comes to the table raw, inedible. ... service bad. Without warning, hands suddenly reach between you and take your plates away. There is no talking. To top it all off and the highlight... the lamps above the buffet. Completely dusty and the black stuff that lives between the lamp lenses... that's a million dead flies. Above the food!!!!!! If I had seen this first, I wouldn't have eaten anything. Awful...

Worst meal ever!! I'm still shocked now... I can only advise against this store!

The food was delicious. The staff was nice too. There was a lot to choose from. Price was OK

We are invited. I looked at the recessions beforehand and made my own judgment. Many of the assessments were correct There is still a lot of room for improvement. If you just want to eat a lot and eat cheaply, you're in good hands here.

Although we eat there with 5-6 people on average every 14 days and actually represent a reliable source of income even in the summer, we are increasingly given the feeling that we are no longer welcome there...

Restaurant is very large but cozy. Most of the hot dishes were cold and/or burnt. We're not picky people, but we still had to speak to the staff because most of the dishes were inedible. At a price of €27 per person, we expected something different, but they didn't want to accommodate us either. We finally ate our fill at dessert. (Muffins from Lidl)

We went to this restaurant for the first time about a year ago and overall we really liked it. The quality and selection of the food and drinks were perfectly fine. Since then we have been there 4 times and most recently 2 weeks ago and unfortunately we noticed that the quality and selection has steadily decreased. For example, at some point there was no more ice cream, and the breaded shrimp and soda were also eliminated early on. Only the preparation of the self-assembled plates was still good and tasty. But everything else unfortunately showed a deterioration, which was also clear from the number of guests.

It's called different now and is also different Everything worsens but more expensive Everything is so run of the mill and only looking to make a profit. No experience to be felt there. Signage at the buffet is usually impossible to read Fries mmhhh well, potatoes are sometimes hard Poultry was so good! Peanut sauce no longer tasted good either Dessert still on Coppenrath and Wiese lid Pudding with lots of disgusting lumps Children's muffins with Smarties from Aldi cut into four pieces and other cheap stuff. To pay you had to seek service. He changed too. Not there again

A very nice place to see friends and try new things!

Just fine. We can only recommend it. We enjoyed it and the price/performance ratio was definitely right.

Food is great and also very diverse. Fresh, hot and very balanced. The buffet with fresh ingredients for frying is also very well stocked. The selection of drinks for a flat rate is large. Not just no-name drinks, of course also branded products. The dessert selection is also very rich. It is quickly refilled as soon as something comes to an end. Drinks in the refrigerators are always refilled, but they are not very cold. The service is quick and clears the tables. One disadvantage: The store is huge. You feel like you're in a hotel restaurant at the Ballermann.

Das Restaurant firmiert mittlerweile unter "Wen Dan". Parkplätze gibt es neben dem Gebäude. Das All you can eat + drink-Buffet liegt je nach Tageszeit zwischen 19 und 29 Euro, Kinder bis 10 Jahre zahlen weniger. Der Service ist zurückhaltend, durchweg osteuropäisch gelesen, und visuell nicht von den Gästen zu unterscheiden. Die einzig asiatisch gelesene Person ist mir an der Kasse begegnet. Von dem Dampf, der von den gut gefüllten Behältern aufsteigt, sollte man sich nicht täuschen lassen: die meisten der gut gebratenen Gerichte sind kalt. Aber das dient bei mir ohnehin nur zur Überbrückung der Wartezeit auf meinen Teller vom Teppanyaki-Grill. Die Auswahl an Fisch und Meeresfrüchten ist reichhaltig. Der Fisch wird nur sehr kurz angebraten - ein paar Zwiebeln, die ich als Referenz mit auf den Teller gebe, haben kaum Farbe bekommen. In der zweiten Runde ist das besser.

The restaurant now operates under the name “Wen Dan”. There are parking spaces next to the building. The all you can eat + drink buffet costs between 19 and 29 euros depending on the time of day; children up to 10 years old pay less. The service is reserved, consistently Eastern European, and visually indistinguishable from the guests. The only Asian person I met was at the checkout. Don't be fooled by the steam rising from the well-filled containers: most of the well-fried dishes are cold. But for me that's just to bridge the waiting time for my plate from the teppanyaki grill. The selection of fish and seafood is extensive. The fish is only fried very briefly - a few onions, which I add to the plate as a reference, have hardly gained any color. It's better in the second round. Conclusion: Inconsistent complete offering. Category: Moderate Ambiance: 5 stars Service: 2 stars Culinary: 3 stars Value for money: 3 stars Revisit factor: 3 stars

It was good 👍. But expensive. 2 adults 1 child paid 81 euros.

Good selection and everything very tasty

Typical buffet Asian. Nothing special, but not bad either. The quality of the meat on the grill seems above average to me.

Really the nicest restaurant I've been to. Food is disgusting and everything seems very dirty. A crime against processed foods….

Don't own a changing table and haven't suggested any alternatives.

I had not been to a buffet with such a variety of food and desserts, you eat as much as your body can handle, there is prepared food and they can also prepare some dishes for you; The place is very large, I don't know if because it was Saturday there were so many people or if it is also during the week, there was an average of 100 people or maybe more. The food is delicious, they are filling the trays at every moment as they run out very quickly, I tried some dishes that I had never tried in my life and I still had some left to try, it will be another time, the service is good, if you order They prepare a dish for you, they bring it to your table, the rest if you have to eat it yourself, they have a variety of drinks. It is worth visiting, I recommend it 💯%

Simply beautiful and highly recommended

Great restaurant, of course it's an all you can eat. But super tasty and fresh. Would come again
