Restaurant Oriental Gourmet in Gronau (Westf.)

Recently the fries were raw steak as far as I could tell

Don't bother going there, the food is not interesting, it doesn't appeal to grab something, the service is mediocre, it doesn't look interesting at all, I would say choose another restaurant.

It's not really nice that the chef is vaping while cooking. Wasn't a pretty sight. Furthermore, the fries were cold. Fried banana and those balls with sesame were very tasty

It wasn't tasty. Just cross-contamination. Just don't do it.

It's all a bit dirty A wok in Germany cannot be compared at all to the Netherlands

So ideally 0 stars is not possible. Everyone who works there doesn't know a percent of German, it's difficult to understand anyone there. Unfortunately it is also quite unhygienic. Not recommended, then rather go one building further to McDonald's

The shop is not clean, some of the food is hard because it is so old. Unfriendly conditions. I cannot recommend unpaid employees for 8-9 hours for only €50

Inedible, dirty and old food. This shop is no longer recommended even for warming up Asian convenience food. After eating this bagged food, after just 20 minutes, stomach pain and later diarrhea. You should inform food control. We can only recommend this shed to people who are used to eating garbage!

Had something to eat there again on Friday lunchtime. It was so bad, the sushi was old and hard. Potato pockets were still frozen. Meat was lukewarm. No longer recommended. They won't see us again

Terrible. Much of the buffet was cold including the fries. The rest was so bad in terms of taste and generally not visually appealing. Ice cream with water crystals. Chocolate fountain one out of the other, well. We didn't know it like that - we won't be coming back!! It was also completely empty of guests.

I would have given less than one star despite making a reservation after arrival, we didn't get a table and we had to share the table with strangers..

Mega large selection and everything fresh.

Went for dinner regularly 2 years ago and it was always great. Unfortunately I missed the strawberries, whipped cream and herb butter for the baguette and for dessert there was custard and jellie pudding. We were brought in and told to find a table and someone will come. We were the 2nd family. Don't you want to come along and explain everything? So no. The Maki sushi was really dry and the one with salmon fell apart, but it was tasty. Not much Sushi choice unfortunately. The ready-made containers were half full of fried food such as fries, frikadellen, etc. The container with beef was tasty, as was the wok section. The kangaroo was just a bit overcooked. I also saw the lamps hanging, a cleaning bottle with cloth in a flower pot and things like that around the restaurant. The staff was also eating there. All in all, I think it's a shame because it really is a beautiful building with a lot of potential, but the service and food don't match the style inside. I think I'll come back again at the weekend because I was there on Wednesday and I hope it will be better.

I was able to try a lot of new things. A lot of it was between warm and cold, which was a shame because I took it from the hot counter. Unfortunately, the freshly fried vegetables were cooked far too soft. The dessert counter was very unclean. So you couldn't try the cake. The chocolate fountain wasn't running and the staff couldn't get it to work either. You could see that it hadn't been cleaned the day before.

The service back then is better than it is now, the staff has changed and I think the restaurant has a new owner, many things have changed!

Are totally scared. Ordered a table right at the entrance, whereupon you quickly said yes, look for a place per person for €30 per person. After looking for a table and taking a seat, after 15 minutes a young man came with a notepad and quickly wrote down the start time. The table and cutlery weren't clean 🤮 there was leftover food everywhere and it was really cold. After I cleaned the table we thought OK, let's go eat. The selection was ok. But at the table we realized that the food was lukewarm and almost cold. You could throw limp fries with the rice and it would get stuck. Terrible . There is no salad buffet, sweets buffet. Just sushi and ice cream and there are no more cream, sprinkles, sauces etc. Pp. Things had definitely been better there before. And to make matters worse, the sanitary facilities are also a disaster. Nothing clean and no toilet paper. So for 30€ pp you can at least ask for warm food, a clean dining area and cleaned toilet facilities. We definitely will Don't come back again

The Ford is normal ...but I had bad experience there,,,i wanted to bring my food from the buffet,and when I came back I didn't find my Armani gloves...iam very sure that one of the stuff has took them..i know the women...but she said don't know i don't know...am still sad coz they are do expensive and I had used them for the first time...Schade

Delicious food, often enough filling food, just a bit too salty It was warm inside, come here more often

Do not eat hot prawns, do not peel after stir-frying

Were there yesterday and everything was great. Given the rising prices, I think the increase is totally acceptable. The food was sufficient and always well stocked. Service was also very nice, attentive, really quick and above all I liked the ambience even though it was very full. Would come again even if I live a little further away👍

Toilet dirty, ice cream display empty. Food was not supplied sufficiently. Used dishes not cleared away. Hair in food. Staff completely overwhelmed, selection not so good anymore.

Food here is good for the price you pay. You have different kinds of food to choose from.

There was something for everyone 👍🏼 and it was delicious.

You can eat very well and the staff is very polite

Food is good and delicious. I went multiple time from Netherlands all the way to this restaurants. Recently they increased the price which push me back to go again. Very nice experience we had.

I was very satisfied in the Oriental Gourmet Restaurant. Unfortunately the floor was very sticky, unfortunately all dirty and many plates too. The food was great for the opening, but unfortunately the quality has decreased somewhat.

Large selection of dishes. Taste OK but not outstanding. Attentive and nice service. Rather expensive in terms of price

We're went today in Oriental Gourmet Gronau.. lunch buffet for 12 euro per person is cheap,, and the food was okay, except there's no Gril section for Lunch buffet.. AND staff cannot undesrtand and speak in English,, they speaked only German..and for me for a Tourist , International Language is Important specially in Restaurant. and if your comming from other Countries and you wanna Try Asian food this Rest. is not for you bec. you having difficulty with Conversation. And 1 Thing your not Allowed to take a video eventhough small video.

It was once again very tasty, although I think it was much better years ago. Were there for the first time with our little daughter and friends. As is often the case with small children, I had to change her diaper every now and then. There is space in the disabled toilet, so there was enough space. Super. However, the folding changing option is a disaster. The screws aren't completely in the wall, the thing wobbles like crazy and unfortunately it's also crooked, so my daughter kept sliding towards me. I was actually thinking about changing her on the floor (dirty) with my changing mat because I was afraid that the thing would break out of the wall. Something should definitely be done!!! Now the time at the table is also limited, since we haven't seen our friends for a long time, we had finished eating and there wasn't much going on, we asked if we could sit a little longer, yes, but only if we per Pay person €5/hour. That was clearly too much for us. We would have paid €5 per table. But precisely because over half of the tables were already empty, it was incomprehensible.

Since the change of ownership, the quality there has declined rapidly. The change of ownership is only mentioned sporadically on the entrance door on an overview of the "Gourmet Palast" of the increased prices, as on a waiter's pad handwritten the details of the new owner, such as the current name "Gourmet Palast". However, nothing there is gourmet, most of the meat is very dry and the fried rice could have killed someone. The service doesn't understand a word of German and for the price of around 30 euros you can clearly expect more and would be better off investing elsewhere.

Tested the lunch buffet and found it to be sufficient and good. For 18 euros per person you had the opportunity to eat for 2.5 hours and non-alcoholic drinks were also included. However, if you attach great importance to fresh preparation from the grill, you should not use the restaurant at lunchtime, as it is not available. For us, the selection of prepared dishes was completely sufficient.

Had dinner there with 8 people. Unfortunately it is true that it has deteriorated significantly compared to before. As many have already reported, the plates were still dirty and you had to look for clean ones. After half an hour they tried to remove the dirty ones after complaints. With so many complaints here, I don't understand how to sort them out or finally get a new dishwasher that works. Sometimes the food is lukewarm, but how do you want to keep it warm when 90 percent of people are no longer able to close the lid again. There were enough and sufficient drinks. Most people only enjoyed some of the food. But it's all you can eat and it's clear that you can't expect top quality for the price - it's Chinese fast food. Unfortunately after the change of ownership it got worse. But I think the new owners also have completely different conditions ahead of them, all costs are exploding. Electricity, gas, purchasing, you just have to cut back.

Went here on recommendation. Upon entering, it was already messy, cold (heating broken), and there were a number of patio heaters inside. Dirty dishes were found several times among the clean ones. The grill was not used. Only the griddle was in operation. We had to wait almost an hour for the first portion. The food was burnt in some places and oil was dripping off. A number of dishes from the buffet and the sushi were okay, but the fried rice, for example, was rock hard and way too greasy. Apparently they have a new owner and things haven't been good since. Once and never again here.

Update after 6 years: The heater is - as can be read in other reviews: defective. The camping heaters were scattered around, some of them empty - as guests we were freezing. The food has deteriorated significantly after the last review 6 years ago. In some cases, even in warming containers, food is no longer hot, but just warm. In the past, you could simply "draw" drinks yourself and only have the glasses on the table. Now you get the bottle yourself and apparently have to bring it back to the boxes yourself. The choice of food seems to have become less. Chocolate fountain with burnt chocolate sauce. You can check this by smearing the chocolate on a plate with your finger. You will see small grains, which are the pieces of burnt chocolate. The tastes of the rice and pasta buffets left something to be desired. Too little whistle - too little love for food. It's a shame but we won't be visiting you anymore. You can't raise the price to €30 and then serve the guest a cold environment. Food was lukewarm, cakes tasted like nothing, hot sauces didn't even feel peppery. Too bad for the money.

The whole family was so excited about the buffet. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed, even though they kindly pointed out the change of ownership at the beginning as an excuse for the slight price increase. Hopefully these were just teething problems.

Dirty dishes, no heating so very cold, patio heaters set up in the restaurant, cakes frozen. That was probably our last visit.

A large selection of food and drinks is available. I also think 30 euros is reasonable. Unfortunately, the food was mostly only warm, as is often the case at the buffet. The fries were so inedible. The waitresses had probably had a bad day during our visit, seemed very annoyed and unfortunately weren't friendly either. What absolutely didn't work for me was that you had to pay 2.50 euros for leftover food on your plate. A tally list is kept for each plate. For families who want to let their children try something, it can quickly become significantly more expensive. When I asked, it was explained to me that this also applies to children and that they should only take what they like. The intention of this measure is completely understandable to me, but it still ruined my visit.

Unfortunately, since the change of operator it is no longer what it was. Unfortunately, prices have also become more expensive, although to be fair I have to say that three alcoholic drinks are now included in the price. However, drinks are no longer brought to the table but you have to get them yourself. However, it's still pretty good, but unfortunately it's no longer 5 stars in my opinion

A large buffet. Dishes are also prepared here. A large selection of food. The food is okay. For the money, I personally prefer to eat a la carte.

The selection of food and drinks is very large. There are also many sushi and desserts. Drinks are included in the price. The freshly grilled was also well prepared. All in all an average-good all you can eat buffet. I can't say anything negative.

Apparently new operators. Has diminished in itself. More expensive, selection even less, some dirty dishes. No heating!! Staff but friendly

Last Sunday with the whole family there. The price was briefly raised on site to 30 euros. The food was at least 30 percent worse. The service: also bad. The restaurant was cold (heating broken for days). Never again!

Unfortunately, the alcoholic drinks are no longer all inclusive and with the free non-alcoholic drinks you have to wait ages for a waitress to come. The quality of the food and the taste have also decreased significantly. Won't see us again any time soon. An 11 year old boy who only ate chips, ice cream and fruit from a chocolate fountain was charged like an adult.

Sooo delicious!!! Price/performance completely OK, but there are restrictions on children's prices. Star deduction for the price scale. Children over 150cm pay the full price of €25. That's a lot for a 10 year old who only ate chips and nuggets. There should be more differentiation. Staggering by age would be fairer. Addendum January 5, 2025 Went there again today after a year and unfortunately it will be the last time. The durability has deteriorated massively. The floor alone is so slippery with a layer of grease that you can hardly walk. Went there at 7 p.m., all the bowls at the WOK counter were almost empty, there were only 3 types of meat to choose from...the plate was served with a lot of roasted aromas (burnt). There is almost no salad buffet anymore; Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, corn...dressing bowls empty. I had to mix something from the vinegar/oil bottles. All the food was empty, no Dim Sun. When I asked if it would be refilled, there was no response; 20 minutes later everything is still empty. There were hardly any desserts and confectionery was completely empty. At 8 p.m. the coffee machine was already cleaned, so there was no more coffee. For 3 hours the price for an (empty) buffet is €30 per person. increased. This is a disgrace for the performance!

Food tastes old, some cakes are still frozen and some of the fruit is already in the bin. Some cutlery and dishes were still dirty. Hygiene on the buffets and the floor was poor. For the price you can expect something better!!!

So if there were 0 stars it would probably be a better rating than one, the food was a complete disaster, the service didn't understand a single word of German and the atmosphere was super dirty, you had to be really careful at the buffet not to fall. Some of the cutlery and plates were not cleaned... We had much better experiences with the store back then, we won't be coming back and wouldn't recommend the restaurant because it costs €30 per person. much better invested elsewhere.

We were very disappointed at the beginning of December with the other owner of the shop because the shop was overcrowded with guests and the food was always replenished. When I was there today, most of the containers were empty or old so that the food was full of oil. The fresh meat to fry and the fish were raw so disappointed with the store prices have become unreasonably expensive again

Unfortunately, the food has decreased significantly

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. Update 01/03/25 It was again very tasty, although there were minor glitches. So it didn't get boring either. Gladly again.

New Year's Eve in the Gourmet Temple has significantly lost quality compared to last year. Too many guests at the same time, so the buffet was very empty. The service really tried to accommodate. He also apologized, saying that 400 people had to be cared for at the same time. If you have time and don't value a quiet meal together, this might be the right place for you. Non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price. Children over 1.50m pay the full price.

Not recommended on New Year's Eve. Empty pots shine.

Mostly very full. food was ok. Price-performance okay.

For this price, this restaurant is a great option. Many choices of food, desserts and drinks. Nothing to complaint.

Went there for lunch today. Definitely won't go there again. I've rarely eaten so badly. The quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired. The duck I had was not edible. It was old, dry and tasted like rancid frying fat. The noodles didn't seem very fresh either, but you could eat them. The sushi had nothing to do with real sushi. At least the fruit was tasty. It's actually clear that you can't expect much for 17 euros. Next time I'll go and get a currywurst french fries from the snack bar.

It's quite nice here. The tables are arranged in such a way that you have the feeling of being among yourself. It would just be very nice if the staff would smile a little more every now and then. But overall it's pretty nice.

Good and affordable. Good service and friendly staff.

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 much 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.

Too many people buffet constantly empty

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

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.

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

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 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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very great restaurant. Huge selection

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!

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
