Restaurant Lin in Bad Oeynhausen

Very friendly and attentive staff! The buffet was fresh, always full with a wide selection!

The food and service were great, especially the fact that I could order sweet and sour sauces here because they weren't made with pineapple, as I'm very allergic to pineapple, which is quite rare for me. The sushi bar wasn't very big, but still very tasty and fresh. However, the restrooms left much to be desired. They were so bad that I even asked if they could inspect them so I could use them. I was told they didn't have any disinfectant. So, I couldn't use the restroom, which was obviously inconvenient, and we left immediately because I needed to use the toilet. The food here is really good, but you should definitely bring your own toiletries.

I love this restaurant, everything is perfect!

Mediocre food, unkempt interior, good service. There are better alternatives.

The buffet had a large selection. The food was constantly being replenished. The staff were very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Large selection but some of the food was cold and of poor quality.

A nice restaurant with a mango-flavored buffet. Decorated in a classic Chinese style. I'd like to see some more classic decorations on the table. Otherwise, it was very nice. Someone had placed a swastika made of toothpicks on the lion outside the door. Unfortunately, right-wing sentiments are becoming more and more socially acceptable in Germany.

If you arrive late to the lunch buffet, the meat will be gone from the buffet dishes, leaving only vegetables in the containers. You'll have to ask the staff for a replacement. Otherwise, it's okay.

Friendly staff, delicious food, large selection. Clean and well-maintained.

I ate there with a friend and simply can't recommend the place, it's deteriorated so badly. Many items were already out of stock by 7:30 p.m. The sauces were empty. Very limited sushi selection. Honestly, people, save yourselves; your money goes elsewhere.

The food selection was decent—from fresh sushi to crispy appetizers to warm Asian dishes, there's something for every taste. The quality was consistently good. The staff was friendly and attentive. My only criticism—and this is really important to me—is that the ornamental fish in the entrance area and dining room are kept in very small aquariums. As an animal lover, I find this outdated and sincerely hope that larger tanks or more species-appropriate solutions will be found in the future.

I was here for rehab and stopped in by chance. I highly recommend the restaurant. We had the buffet, and there was a very good selection of ready-made meals. You can also have your own meal prepared. The staff is very friendly. If I didn't have to drive so far, it would be my favorite.

There's a lunch buffet, sometimes very good, sometimes less so. The service is very friendly.

I‘ve been to this restaurant multiple times and today was the first time I got really disappointed. Probably not gonna come back anymore. It feels like they didn’t refill food anymore even its just 8pm. Saw flies on the food. I needed to ask something so they will fill it up again. The lady waitress kept banging the utensils, plates and bowls which created a loud noise, looks like she’s having a worst day and not really nice atmosphere while eating. We paid for a buffet and the food looks like already all leftovers and sooo dry. They gave me wrong drink and while I was trying it the lady rushed and shouted it was the wrong one. Fried rice I didn’t even finish because it was already left over and hard. We left the Restaurant feeling sad bec we paid 57€ and so disappointed, not really worth the money.

This was my first time here and I have to say, unfortunately, that there are much better Chinese allucaneat buffets in the region. The selection was okay, but overall the taste was rather disappointing. The freshly grilled food was unfortunately too salty. The restrooms were truly unacceptable for customers, and this is truly outrageous. The toilet lid was broken, there was feces next to it, and the soap was empty. Truly disgusting! I won't be back.

Very friendly staff, delicious food and great value for money.

Rich buffet; reasonable prices during the week; friendly and good service; the cooked fish offered is a matter of taste

Got food, but it's getting more and more expensive.

THE MOST IMPORTANT DISH The LIN restaurant is a Chinese restaurant with a super buffet. Guests can create their own delicious meals from several types of meat and vegetables, as well as several side dishes such as fries, noodles, spring rolls, salads, etc. Desserts are also catered for: from pancakes to ice cream 🍨, everything is there. If you like Chinese cuisine and want to eat until you're really full, this is the place for you. But as delicious as every dish is, it has two major drawbacks! First, it doesn't last forever; at some point, everyone, whether gourmet or fast-food fan, gets hungry again. Second, it doesn't save you from death. Everyone must die – even lovers of good food. There is only ONE dish that saves you from death and ensures that you are no longer hungry. This dish comes from the LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS ​​CHRIST. He Himself is this dish – in a figurative sense, of course. He said to his countrymen: "Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him, and I will raise him up at the last day," John 6:54. "Body" and "bread" are symbols of life—here, of the eternal life that the LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS ​​CHRIST offers to those who believe in him. And for all who believe in him, there will one day be a feast in heaven attended by all the biblical celebrities. Compared to that, the buffet at Restaurant Lin is like a bratwurst from the chip shop around the corner. But to participate in this feast, one must receive eternal life, and that happens ONLY through faith. In the Great Commission to his disciples, Christ said: "Whoever believes and is baptized will live, but whoever does not believe WILL BE DAMNED, Mark 16:9. And if that happens to you, that's it for you with a super buffet, be it Chinese or German, etc. You've completely gorged yourself. There isn't even a drop of water to drink. On my Facebook page, I have a few posts you should definitely check out. I also recommend the video "Hell is no joke" by Rudi Joas on YouTube.

Food was very tasty, very large selection

delicious food, good buffet selection, friendly service, gladly again...and it is still like this

This is the best sushi I've ever eaten, especially the crunchy range is amazing.

Very good buffet offering, great value for money

Recommended. Large selection, nice staff - super tasty

Normally you can eat here but what was served here today is a disgrace. A lot of dishes are simply cold. This makes the food inedible. Really sad but that was the last time here. When asked why the food is cold there is only a shrug of the shoulders. Even 45 minutes later there is no change, many dishes are and remain cold. impudence

Good value for money 😊 large selection of fresh meat and seafood at the evening buffet.

So the food wasn't anything special but it was good, "all you can eat" there is something for everyone. The service team is absolutely competent and knows what they have to do. They do a very good job. The store looks really great too. The toilets could do with a renovation but are completely clean. The location isn't that great either. Perfect for a spontaneous trip. I'd love to come back🤙🏻🤙🏻

We were lucky and had the all you can eat buffet on Sunday for €18.50. Everything tasted delicious, especially the crispy duck, fried chicken and shrimp as well as calamari. The prices were very reasonable. If you drive through here you should definitely visit the store.

The service was very fast. Sometimes even too fast. The food was also quite good.

Classic 'all you can eat' restaurant. If you feel like Asian, it's fine. Large selection of ready-made dishes but you can also have something freshly prepared. The service is very friendly.

Excellent food but our experience was not good. The old lady waitress is really rude! You have to be more polite!!!!

Went to the lunch buffet today. Everything is great. The selection of food was great, all the goods were fresh and always replenished. Excellent in taste. Service was great, we were constantly checking to see if anyone else wanted a drink or if plates could be cleared away. But by no means intrusive. Will be happy to come back.

The four of us got a table there on a Thursday evening without a reservation and were served quickly, friendly and courteously. The two soups and the finished dishes were really hot and the fried things were crispy. The food plates were well preheated. We liked it much better here than in the surrounding Asian buffet restaurants in Herford or Porta Westfalica. The sushi was tastier, the selection of fish and meat for grilling was larger (even if we didn't need frog legs or kangaroo). The ice cream selection was very large and well signposted. We had two severely disabled people with us in wheelchairs or walkers, which worked great and was barrier-free. There is also a large disabled toilet. You could pay in cash or with an EC card; credit card payments are excluded. The atmosphere was pleasant, also in terms of noise. We'd love to come back.

Meeega big selection. Clean and pleasant. I have no idea why there are so many bad reviews. and I am very satisfied

Not really... the food was cold to lukewarm. The unfinished items in the buffet prepared by the chef were bland. The fruit looked like it had been in the boxes for a long time. The service was great. The €19.90 for the buffet is not justified.

We were there on Saturday. Not possible. Food was somewhat ok. The atmosphere around was a disaster. We won't be coming back.

I can only give this one star. As mentioned in some reviews, the food wasn't really hot. No taste, not refilled (with the salad) and much more. The highlight was the women's toilet rolls (empty ones) on the windowsill. Toilet paper was simply thrown on the floor, dirty floor, no towels refilled. I didn't feel like it anymore. I really thought I was in the school toilet. Cleanliness is the most important thing!!!! There wasn't much going on but there was a lot of staff available.. Sorry, but 5 stars are incomprehensible to me... First and last time

The food is all fresh, there is a wide variety of seafood and meat is used for grilling. A selection of dishes for every taste and color! The only thing is that the drinks are very expensive! 1 liter of juice costs 15 euros, which is too much. 5 times more expensive. Well, make it at least three times more expensive. Thank you in advance if you can hear me.

Always good. Food from the lunch buffet was good and plentiful Staff friendly as always

Better to eat somewhere else...

I was looking forward to a nice evening with my husband. Unfortunately, I felt like I was in kindergarten. The children were running around the restaurant screaming loudly the whole time. Played hide and seek there. Constantly banging in front of the aquarium. Family friendly, nice and good. I have a child myself. But if my child ever behaves like that in a restaurant, there will be a bang. No store for me.

Yummy. Please allow credit card payment

Food and service good, toilets an absolute disaster.

We spontaneously got a table with 6 adults. I was pleasantly surprised - the buffet was very organized, clean and plentiful. If something was empty, it was refilled. Everything tasted ok and so did the service. We will definitely see you there again.

You can get your fill here, but the food is rather mediocre. Unfortunately, so does the ambience. Unfortunately the toilets are very run down and dirty. The employees are all very nice and accommodating.

Very tasty neat and clean. Various sea food and desert ice cream, fruit, salad I would like to note something about the roasted duck, the skin was thick and fatty, 1 year ago it was crispy, otherwise it was delicious food and a cozy atmosphere.

I would prefer not to give any stars at all. Today we were at the Lin with the working group. The restaurant employees bullied us and controlled what and how we ate and threatened all the time that there would be cameras everywhere and that we wouldn't be allowed to fill our plates to get full, but would only be allowed to eat small bites to try...we really did We didn't take small quantities from the buffet and didn't refill them at all!!!! So sry that's not possible, it's totally outrageous that we won't be entering this restaurant again. We didn't fill our plates. We didn't bother anyone. We were a quiet team. We just wanted to sit down comfortably and eat something small with our former colleagues... but never with you again!!!! Rude, cheeky and not host friendly.

It's always very good to eat here.

Unfortunately, the grilled chicken was still raw in the middle

I think it's really nice outside and inside

I think the restaurant is very nice. Food can be taken in many different ways

We were there yesterday with the company. I had pre-ordered for a larger group. The food was tasty and there was something for everyone, although the sushi selection was disappointing. Unfortunately the waitress wasn't happy about a group. Some of them were very unfriendly, grumpy and intrusive. The restaurant is open until 10 p.m., but we were chased after with the bill from 8 p.m. They even brought you in from outside (smokers) so you could pay. As I said, that was around 9 p.m. and we weren't the last guests. Personally, I will not recommend it or visit it again

The food itself was very good, but the service was very bored and annoyed right from the start.

Nice restaurant with a very good, fresh buffet. Large selection of vegetables. The food is freshly prepared. Sushi and edamame also vegetarian/vegan available. Friendly staff. Even though the store was full, we didn't have to wait long.

The food was very tasty and really hot. The service was particularly attentive and friendly. There are also plenty of parking spaces 👍🍀

There's somehow a worm in there.

Very tasty food, very clean toilets.

Good food - short distances to the RV parking space near the bathroom

Delicious lunch buffet. I've been there several times and I've enjoyed it every time. Clean toilets and friendly staff.

Unglaublich teuer unfreundlich ein 11 jähriges Kind als erwachsen gezählt immer wieder nach Ausweis verlangt nicht gelaunt das er 11 ist für 7 Leute 210 Euro bezahlt sehr frech niewider empfehle ich nicht weiter

A good selection of dishes at lunchtime, and of course the buffet for cooking straight away in the evening. Soup, fresh salad bar, dessert and ice cream. Lunchtime buffet price gradually increased from €8.50 to €12.50.

We like coming here. The food is delicious and the place is clean. The service is very good and the employees are all very friendly.

It's a nice restaurant with buffet food, the food tastes good, the price is completely okay and the ambience is good, you get what you expect

Very good food, great service. The selection is huge and the sushi is delicious

The lunch buffet is very nice and tasty. The price is very fair. All you can eat, with plenty of sushi Always happy.

We have been there several times and are always thrilled. It's delicious, the service is fast and the price is right.

I have not been here for a while and was rather disappointed at the standard and choices of the dishes. As this was a Buffet some of the serving trays were not being topped up so they looked like the choice pieces of meat and fish were all taken and the rest looked like scraps and things like onion, soggy batter and mushrooms were left. The food wasn't really warm either! There were only about 12 people eating but it was quite a challenge to find a decent portion of anything except of course steamed rice and Peking soup! My girlfriend said that the sushi rice was not cooked properly. The Mongolian grill was not open as it was in the past and the waiter told me its only now open in the evenings. 😤 Price had not changed..🤷 The best advice i can offer to potential clients is not to go there 1 1/2 hours before they close and the staff should pay more attention to the food they expect us to eat and pay for and not stand around killing time waiting for customers to pay and leave. Sorry guys, when you first opened I often came to eat there, now if i want to eat Chinese food i will drive to the Gourmet Tempel in Bünde, maybe you should go and look to see how its done.

It's a shame there isn't a nice beer garden, otherwise great food ♡

A pretty good Asian restaurant. There is a large buffet or all card. There are minor language barbarisms here and there but all in all it works quite well. All in all, you can eat well here.

Buffet delicious. Customer service formidable.

The restaurant started off very well. Always eat plenty and always fresh. Today I noticed that it has decreased significantly. You're not even greeted anymore. Immediately “Drink?” Well, let’s leave that at that. Not every operation is like that. However, overall it feels like clearance. The ambience is still very appealing. That's also the best thing about the restaurant. Then to dinner. The buffet itself has very good food to offer. A large selection is available. A lot of things tasted averagely good. But don't do it either. Where it ends for me is the Mongolian grill buffet. Some of the RAW fish, seafood and meat really stink if you walk a little closer. Fresh fish doesn't smell like that, it makes you lose your appetite! Something urgently needs to be done! Dessert was then fine. Large selection. The price is fair, but the Mongolian grill buffet also has to fit in! No thanks will be given for tips. Many people there lack friendliness. All in all, a not so nice experience.

The food is delicious and the selection of different dishes is varied. However, the cleanliness of the buffet has deteriorated and the dishes are unfortunately not really clean and appear greasy. Unfortunately, the service has also decreased in terms of friendliness.

Very bad, eating expired Suchi last year was really unpleasant Food very cold and extremely unfriendly to customers

Nice selection and great price 👍🏼. We'd love to come back 😃

Unfortunately I have to go down from 5 stars to 3. But not because of the food, it is still good. The service, especially the male part (today on May 11th, 2024) is absolutely underground. The male waiter puts the drinks on the other side of the table so that I have to get them for us first, and this man is once again a bit arrogant and dismissive from above. This isn't the first time this has happened!!! And I have it Also mentioned to the management a few months ago. We also had 6 used plates at the table (for 2 people) and surprisingly there was very little going on. The lady then had to clear everything away while the gentleman looked at the area. He's simply arrogant and that's not appropriate. Therefore, no tip for the very first time, which the lady didn't like and showed! Sorry, a little more friendliness with problem-free customers would be nice. That's what I'm paying for.

Been there several times, it's worth it It's delicious and the service at the table is quick and friendly -- it's not the last TIME we've been with YOU --- thank you

Food was never cold again glasses And dishes looked very dirty and worn Very little choice Despite the announcement to the staff The only thing that was really good was that the plates were picked up quickly

I like it. From sushi to fried noodles, many different dishes. There should actually be something for everyone.

Have now been in contact with the owner. He apologized several times and I received a voucher in the mail. Thank you for that. Hair in the food, there wasn't even an apology or anything like that. Let alone any comment.

I find the Lin restaurant to be too big. If you come a little later, the selection is no longer that great, for my taste there is too much of the food on offer

Everything delicious 😋 large selection of food.

Very tasty food, the staff friendly and professional, we took the food away…Perfect, we'll be back

Top performance and top price! Always my pleasure! Been there twice and always enjoyed it. When I'm in Bad Oeynhausen.

Has deteriorated a lot compared to before

This is the best Chinese restaurant around

Very large selection. Nice service

Always duck everyone. Needs to be refilled quicker.

Having the food fry was a disaster this time. The person behind it probably had no idea about frying. The other one pretty much worked, everything was much better.

Integrated from the outside directly at a gas station, not so nice, LED strips all around the restaurant Lin on the inner edge of the roof, which don't light up so nicely, flashing rather stressfully. You might want to have a pleasant meal there but feel rather restless upon arrival. The ambience is rather spatan Asian, so the feeling is different. Best regards

Food's good enough to enjoy. Atmosphere's your typical buffet style crowd. If you don't mind that. I do. So I don't go as much to buffets as other folks.

Very rich buffet...and very tasty. Dessert with great delicacies...there is something for everyone who likes Asian cuisine. I've been there five times now and will come back...

Food was ok. The selection was quite good, but unfortunately there was no ice cream. Food could have been a little hotter. Lots of space and comfortable seating.

We were there today at 6:30 p.m. and unfortunately found a eaten and dirty buffet. The dessert buffet in particular looked disgusting - the ice cream chest was dirty and something was floating in the chocolate fountain... Even if it's full - cleanliness is a must!! The volume was also extremely tiring, but that's also because children unfortunately hardly receive any education and run around everywhere and scream... No longer worth a visit

A normal all you can eat, everything was normal like a normal Chinese restaurant. The drawback was that I didn't like the sushi, I've had much better in other restaurants, but the wasabi with it was really great.

The food is really good and there is a large selection that basically leaves nothing to be desired. The notice about the €5 fine for people who don't empty their plates was long overdue. In my opinion, the operation is very hectic and sometimes it is very loud. Unfortunately for me it is not a restaurant where you can have a nice meal. The culture of some guests is rather rudimentary or rather adapted to their culture. Food is touched by hand and simply “thrown” back onto the buffet. The loud conversation of some guests is unpleasant. We now avoid holidays and weekends here and come back during the week.

Essen und auswahl ist ausreichend vorhanden und entsprechend hygienisch dargestellt undzur und auch gut vorbereitet und kontrolliert vom Personal.

Die Toiletten wurden um 12.00 Uhr mit Clor gereinigt , die ganze Bude stank danach. Und es war relativ kühl, Heizung war aus oder nur auf 1 angestellt. War heute mein letzter Besuch.

Large selection... But unfortunately everything was only lukewarm.

Lecker und frisch wie immer. Große Auswahl. Auch der Service diesmal excellent, daher ein Stern mehr als letztes mal.

Неплохой азиатский ресторан. Хороший буфет. Но надо иметь ввиду, напитки дороговаты, и они не входят в цену.
