Restaurant Oriental Gourmet in Gronau (Westf.)

It's a shame, I was there with friends on St. Nicholas Day and can hardly express our experiences. Unfortunately, the service repeatedly reserved the drinks incorrectly, coffee was no longer available at 9.30 p.m., etc. It's a shame, we're no longer coming as guests for the time being.

Absolutely unfriendly employee at the reception, arrived shortly before 9 p.m. and we weren't allowed to eat anything, we then went on to the Croatian where we were warmly welcomed and drove home perfectly full after 20 minutes.

Delicious all you can eat. Wide choice. Sufficient space.

Unfortunately very much diminished. No more salads. Not a big selection of cakes. Very little selection of fruit either. Food is no longer properly replenished. And a lot less choice. It's a shame you'll lose your guests

Unfortunately, this restaurant has declined greatly. A few years ago I was thrilled - the food was fresh, delicious and prepared with love. But on Tuesday evening the disappointment was great. The dishes seemed bland, the taste was bland, and the quality left a lot to be desired. It's a real shame to see a once good restaurant losing its standard. If something doesn't change soon, I unfortunately don't see a future for this store. Service: Friendly but not attentive. Price-performance: Not justified. Conclusion: Not what it used to be.

Been there again after a long time and probably for the last time. No plates available, food wasn't refilled in a timely manner, so the pots were constantly empty. The staff takes a plate away from you even though there is still food on it and you haven't finished eating yet. The food itself wasn't tasty either. Alcoholic drinks are not included in the price and overall it is more like a canteen. It's a shame, but for the money you can eat better somewhere else.

Great again. Price performance fits and a great selection. Everything you could want is available at the buffet. Service was very attentive even though it was very busy.

Too many people buffet constantly empty

According to the website, open today. We were still standing in front of the closed door

The food was delicious, but unfortunately it was very unclean. The plates are greasy. Wouldn't eat there again.

If you want to eat well and in plenty, then I can only recommend it. It tastes good and is fresh. It's really worth going there.

Well, it used to be tastier. Has worn off quite a bit. The freshly prepared meat was tough and some of the food at the buffet was cold.

We've eaten there several times, but we didn't like it. Hardly any vegetables, all very greasy sauces and no more salads. You also had to wait a long time for drinks.

The vending machine for sparkling water was better because you could sometimes get half a glass. We were there with several people who had the same opinion.

Super delicious food, great selection and friendly staff.... The only thing that really annoyed me was the cold, blue-greenish LED light. That spoils the experience a little. Therefore a star deduction!

The food has become pretty bad compared to before. There is only 1 row of meat dishes and the rest is something breaded. The individual dishes are often not well done, the sauce is weak and there is no variety left. The only thing that's still tasty is the grill bar. The chocolate fountain hardly tasted like chocolate.

Excellent space for 16 people. Atmosphere and crowds were fine. Only many dishes were not available (sushi, chicken, satay etc).

Very nicely done there. Nice atmosphere and the food is very good. Lots of choice.

Although it was just under €18, we were ripped off for just under €30 last night, stuffed as we were. Not at all: too loud, too “untasty”. What makes it stand out again is definitely the service staff, who tirelessly bring drinks, take them away, clear tables, smile and keep the place running. There is little here for vegetarians or vegans. Even the vegetarian dishes had way too few vegetables. And there was a general selection of vegetables: nothing!

We come from Emsland. I have never experienced such a good all you can eat restaurant. There were so-called flowers given for Mother's Day. Thank you

Really very nice 🥰 we would love to come by again

Furnishings in the typical Chinese buffet restaurant style, but still pretty. Although it was sparsely attended, it was difficult to make out the waiters. Some of the unused plates were not clean. Sushi is poor even by buffet restaurant standards. The food tasted rather average. Offer of prepared vegetable dishes sparse. Unfortunately there was a hair in the fried rice. The presentation of the food with the glass lids and the large selection of fruits were positive. Maybe we had a bad day, but I don't want to risk a second visit.

I've been here several times. Delicious, extremely clean and nice staff. Price matches what you get. Huge offer!! Keep it up, I'll come back

Had a lovely time Staff friendly and attentive, good selection of food.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The food is fantastically delicious.❤️

Top shop. All very tasty. Correction 6 years later... Food turned out very bad, beer or wine had to be paid for separately. But it has become much more expensive. We won't be coming back.

Today we went to the buffet here for the first time in a long time and we bitterly regretted it. The buffet was from 12-2:30 p.m. and when we arrived at 1 p.m., many food containers were already empty. Sushi was then made at our request (the chef said he didn't have time for that!!!). The selection of sushi was rather meager. With difficulty I got another piece of fish (we don't eat meat), my husband checked several times within an hour, but the container for fish and shrimp remained empty. At 2 p.m. I asked again and after the service staff rolled their eyes, a piece was made “especially for us”. It was totally oily and full of soy sauce. I am of the opinion that if I pay the same price as all other visitors, I am entitled to the same meal. We ate little and not very well. For dessert, however, I ate delicious fresh fruit, which had already been put away at 2:10 p.m. when my husband wanted to get some! The service and quality of the food urgently needs to be improved. We were definitely here for the last time. Too bad!

Never again. The leftover sushi was also lukewarm

It was very, very great and you could eat a lot, you got everything and it was just wow

We ate there, it was very good and tasty, the staff was very friendly and attentive, drinks were served at the table. If you only want to try one of each dish at the buffet, it's almost impossible. I really like the rule that there is an extra charge if you leave full plates, so throwing them away is significantly reduced. Will happily eat there again.

Price/performance including drinks is completely fine. The ambience is modern and beautiful. Unfortunately, the store wasn't able to convince me in terms of food. A lot of things taste very soggy and dry. However, the selection is very good.

The food very good, and good service 😋

The food is usually good and the selection is large. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, you now have to order drinks and can no longer see what you want and get it yourself.

From the outside it's a former commercial building that stands next to Roller and McD, but the inside is pleasantly designed and has a very large selection of buffets.

We opted for a 1 hour buffet including non-alcoholic drinks for a fixed price of €23 per person. decided. The 3 hour buffet would be at a fixed price of €28 per person. been possible. There is a selection of starters/salads/soups, many ready-made dishes, but also a large selection of fresh fish, mussels and scampi/crayfish. Dessert and coffee or espresso. The service staff was very friendly and explained everything to us very well! Thank you very much.

Food was delicious, lots of choice! A drink on the house (schnapps), friendly service. Recommended!

We ate there with the family today. The selection of dishes had something for everyone. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, whether meat or fish. The service was friendly. We were very satisfied and would come back.

Geen welkom of introductie,na 10 minuten iemand die je een kaartje(zonder uitleg) neer legt,niet vriendelijk.Vervolgens vlees niet gaar van de gril.bij afrekenen geen vraag of het gesmaakt heeft,geen goedendag/tot ziens gewenst........DUS NOOOOOOOIT weer!

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and food...

It will burst out of lots of delicious food.

I would give 0 stars if I could. The food is either completely burnt, dry, or too salty. I don't expect much from an "all you can eat" restaurant, but the food should at least be edible if you pay €23. Never again.

Had a great meal here. Delicious dishes, there is something for everyone. The products are of good quality and the staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is 1 star less and gives room for development, because it is a bit messy in some places and the fluorescent lighting gives a cool impression. You can clearly see what you are eating, so some people may actually like this. We would love to come again. Thank you!

Very great restaurant. Huge selection

As far as good, there's nothing to complain about, an average Asian restaurant - plenty of choice at the buffet.

There were three of us there, we all had to vomit several times at the motorway service station.

I'm not a fan of negative reviews, but unfortunately I have to share my summary of the evening. We were just passing through and just wanted something quick to eat, so we chose this restaurant because €23 for an hour all-inclusive is unbeatable. The service was very friendly, the restaurant was spacious and modernly furnished, everything was clean and the food actually tasted good, but unfortunately the receipt came at the end. After we paid and were about 20 minutes on the way home, my wife got sick so we had to stop. She vomited several times and had extreme stomach cramps. Another 15 minutes later it was my turn and I threw up several times at a rest stop. It could definitely just be the food there as we only ate a little fruit all day. It's a shame because everything else was really fine.

Grill was closed due to holidays

We treated ourselves to a long weekend in Gronau/Enschede. We ate here on Friday (August 2nd, 2024). The food selection was very varied. Drinks are included in the price. The dessert selection was more than perfect. Except for the sushi, we enjoyed it so far. (The sushi rice was too sweet, but that's a matter of taste.) It was great that the sushi was freshly prepared on site. But why only 2 stars? ▪️The plates were always wet. I had the bad luck 3 times that the large, warm plates still had sauce and leftover food stuck to them. I find this hygienically questionable because it is a sign that the employee at the dishwasher is not working cleanly. Several plates are removed from the dishwasher belt/basket in an uncontrolled manner and without drying, sticking together. (Yes, I can judge that because I have worked in the catering industry long enough) ▪️The fruit selection was sensational. Unfortunately, the work there was also negligent. The prickly pears were not washed or pretreated. We were in the restaurant and still in the hotel busy removing the fine spines of the fruit with tweezers. There were 2 small children crying in the toilet because their hands were completely full of spikes. ▪️I found the clearing situation of the empties very disturbing. There was a loud clinking noise when things were being collected on a canteen trolley. And now it's getting disgusting. The tables next to us were occupied by several people. When they got up, the wagon was used again. The waste separation took place right next to us. I was able to get into the plastic bowls next to me!! look in because the car was standing in the aisle with the edge of the table in contact. Scratching loudly, the leftover food was slapped in there with the cutlery. It's a shame, we won't be coming back because of these experiences. Especially since the guests have probably adapted to the ambience. Just like at a party, the confectionery is scooped onto the plate using freshly licked fingers without tongs. No, it wasn't the children! The fruit is first tried at the buffet, smacking loudly, and then the plate is shoveled until some falls onto the buffet. Here, too, it is adults who are behaving completely wrong.

It's a buffet and there's always something for everyone.

Very disappointed. The food doesn't taste good. BBQ buffet is fried with so much fat, just completely covered in fat, never experienced anything like that. In general the selection is poor and many pots are empty. You'd better go somewhere else.

I was there with my girlfriend for a few days, there were better times, so I prefer to drive a little further to the other all you can eat buffet. Some of the food was very salty and milky, so you couldn't eat it. Luckily we weren't charged an extra €5 because we returned a total of 1 plate. The dessert was unappetizing because there were flies flying around in the fruit cupboard, and sometimes you couldn't eat whole strawberries, and the ice cream didn't work either. As you can see in the photo, for me strawberry ice cream is reddish and not orange or in color. Let's see if something changes at some point

I can highly recommend this restaurant. The buffet is large and the selection is varied. The selection of drinks is also great and I don't have to start with the desserts - everything is very, very tasty. 🙂‍↕️😋 The staff are polite and the atmosphere is cozy and invites you to a good evening. I've been there twice and wasn't disappointed once. 👍

The food is very delicious and all types of fish and meat are fresh

All in all, the food, the staff and the exhibition are very good. I enjoy coming here with my family.

Been there again after a long time. Honestly disappointed and not worth the money. Many pots empty, no rice, no pasta, no sauces. Fish counter selection limited and sometimes no longer there. The fact that the drinks are delivered is also counterproductive. The staff is overwhelmed and just racing. The toilets are dirty, no flushing, loose fittings and the toilets are clogged. It used to be better. We definitely won't go there again.

No wok, but baking trays. Wide choice of fish and meat. Enough choice with the ready-made dishes, but unfortunately they are not refilled immediately. The grill plate also didn't have much to offer and was not always cooked crispy. The desserts are plentiful and not bad. But.....all in all it is not worth repeating for me.

Great restaurant. Great food 👍👍👍

Great Chinese! Staff super friendly and accommodating! We always come here! Very fond of children!

Delicious food. Nice personel. Always my pleasure!

My husband and my brother are making the store miserable! Great food and great staff!

Best all-you-can-eat buffet! We are absolutely thrilled and will come here more often in the future. Highly Recommended. Above all, price/performance is totally justified. Top!

Best place for family always delicious bombs staff vallah very good!!!!

So one of the best Allyoucan Eat buffet in the whole district....!!!! Always fresh and food is always warm… Service is perfect as soon as the bottle is empty or a glass is asked for directly…. Simply perfect and recommended!!! I always enjoy coming here…!!!

Overall, the restaurant is worth a visit! If you like an Asian buffet, there is a lot on offer here. Nevertheless, there are points of criticism. The food, e.g. B. the pasta was cold - this is of course due to the fact that many visitors open the containers and sometimes don't close them again. In addition, the buffet offer €23 per person is limited to 60 minutes. After that you get 5€ on top. 60 minutes is a bit too short to eat comfortably. Here 1.5 hours would be much more relaxing. So points deducted for that. Overall, a recommendation if you are willing to pay the extra price.

Very bad restaurant, I paid a lot €28 and the food was old as if from the previous day and the service was also bad, The service is also bad. Little food and even if something runs out it takes a very long time to refill. I don't recommend anyone to go there. Every time I visit the restaurant it gets worse and worse, even though it should be the other way around. But this time it was very bad.

Very friendly staff, huge selection and very tasty!

Bij binnenkomst zag het er netjes uit, maar hoe verder je naar binnen loopt hoe meer bergafwaarts het word. Het eten is allemaal koud of rouw of niet gaar! Ik kom hier nooit meer terug! die drie uur waarvoor ik betaald heb kan ik nu uitzitten op de wc. De bediening was ook heel nonchalant richting de klanten qua eten en drinken serveren

Nice place, good food and perfect service. We will repeat

Great restaurant, everything you could want in a large selection, reasonably priced

I'm shocked by the bad reviews. Guys... what's wrong with you? We just dined here and it is amazing. What a selection, what great service and please... What delicious food. Drinks are included and simply wonderful with children. Enough space in the restaurant and at the buffet. It's incredible. We'll be back and I'm so glad I wasn't put off.

The selection was okay... but the taste wasn't really good at all

Highly recommended, we came especially from Bremen and it was very worth it

For us personally the best all-inclusive restaurant, the selection of dishes, the quality and the taste were very good. Very friendly and attentive staff. If I could give a few more stars 🌟 I would. We will definitely come back, even if we have to travel 40 km.

Food wasnt prepared well, shrimps were bland and chewy. Service was slow for drinks

I haven't been to Oriental Gourmet in a while. We finally got around to it again through a family meal. I have to say I was always very positive about the restaurant and really enjoyed eating there. However, on my last visit I was disappointed to find that the quality of the food had deteriorated significantly. The shrimp (except for one variety with beans and broccoli) were as firm as rubber. The chicken there was really tough. Both the rice and the noodles were completely overcooked. The taste of the sweet and sour sauce couldn't even be compared to the ones I've used before. In addition, the staff was completely confused that day and gave us strange looks when we wanted an additional water bottle for the family. It's a shame because I'll have to wait again before my next visit.

We've always been super happy here in the restaurant the last few times, but today it was very disappointing. The staff was unfriendly, they just threw the plates of freshly fried food on the table and didn't ask who owned what. The food tastes like nothing. We would have liked to get up and drive without paying because there wasn't enough money for the food.

Super delicious food, whether grilled or fried, sushi or salads, right down to dessert... Very good 👍 The service and the people behind it are all very nice and attentive. We like to go out to eat often and everything really fits here. Do you also like going to Chinese? Then this can become your favorite restaurant!!!! Thank you for the great hospitality 🤗 👍

Large selection, everything fresh. Delicious.

Good food fresh and always freshly made multiple choices from cooked to pick ur own to cook and help yourself coffee when u want it

Overall the food is good and if you don't want to cook for 30 euros you can get yourself all you need to buffet self-service wonderful PS the sushi is 3 star. ✅🙏

Large room was divided. Some food could be hotter. Otherwise ok.

As always, the food was great, everyone was very friendly, always happy♥️

The restaurant looks very chic and classy. The food tastes the same as before, the waiters are very, very nice and accommodating. Everything was well stocked and it was always checked. DRINKS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE!

Food is tasty but labels aren't always clear, and sometimes you would have to look a lot for what you want or otherwise lift all the lids to find out what you're looking for

the chef who makes the sushi is disrespectful he I accidentally dropped candy he talks aggressively we will never come back I better learn how to deal with customers first

Was one of our favorite restaurants for many years. Today (Friday evening) it was unusually empty and overall rather disappointing. Drinks are now brought - at least not for an extra charge, as described above and as much as you want. The staff didn't have any undue stress due to the emptiness and were, as usual, friendly, attentive and courteous. The food was all adequate, but somehow the taste was different than we remembered. Everything tasted the same somehow and was partly dry and unsightly due to the low utilization. Unfortunately, the sushi was also disappointing in terms of taste, as was the soup. The prices have risen significantly. Unfortunately, that no longer works for us. Sorry, dear management, your restaurant probably won't be doing it like this for much longer. A pity.

It was good, but drinking is very expensive

Well, as I now know from reviews that soft drinks also have to be paid extra, I don't have to pay more anyway.

Drinks are no longer included in the price of lunch. However, you only find out when you are already sitting at the table. A notice in the entrance area would have been nice so that you could think beforehand whether you wanted to pay the significantly higher price or leave again. The food itself was okay, although the selection used to be much larger.

A pleasant surprise. Good prices, wide selection and very customer-friendly staff made for a pleasant afternoon

It's a nice restaurant, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is good. The restaurant is generally not expensive, even if it does not include drinks. Only the food is so incredibly bad and that is really important in a restaurant. So that is a huge negative.

What a great selection! The dishes are covered and well described. Very nice staff. Just perfect.

The kangaroo and venison meat are excellent.

We were there almost every month and the drinks were included, now it's over. As a piece of advice, I would no longer recommend this restaurant because you have to pay for the drinks.

The food is okay, but what really shocked me was that suddenly there were no drinks available and you had to pay extra for them. That was very sudden, we had reserved a month ago and we were not told that the drinks had to be paid extra. When we were there we were very shocked that we had to pay extra for the drinks. If we had known that, we would have canceled the reservation. We are a large family. Everyone would have had to pay a lot for the drinks for the 3 hours, about as much as the reservation, which is really unbelievable. When we were there we were told that they had supposedly told us this, which wasn't the case. This means the store will make a lot of losses, but it will be okay. As I said, if we had known that we wouldn't have gone there. As a piece of advice, I would no longer recommend this restaurant because you have to pay for the drinks.

I was very shocked that you now have to pay extra for the drinks, it would still be okay if we had been told this before when we made the reservation. But we were not told anything about this news

Very crowded and loud. But the food is good and the service is nice

The food is nothing special but it was tasty. Big store, therefore very noisy. What was really disgusting was that 50% of the "freshly" washed plates at the buffet were still covered in leftover food from the previous person.

Great selection, including desserts. Coffee specialties included in the buffet price. We will be back.

A large restaurant with a friendly welcome. A wide choice of all kinds of fish and meat dishes and various vegetables. Delicious desserts with fruit and/or ice cream and other tasty sweets. We went out for dinner with friends and had a delicious meal. Drinks do not include food and must be paid for separately. It has very fair prices.
