XIAO Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen

Unfortunately the food wasn't tasty. Some of it was cold and dry and the sushi immediately fell apart and wasn't really edible. Very unfortunate.

Food was plentiful and very tasty, as always

A great company party with Xiao! From the booking to the evening itself everything went smoothly. When we booked over the phone, we expressed our desire to have a separate area - and this was implemented without any problems. We were able to celebrate in a secluded area below us and even had our own staff member, Shery, who took excellent care of us. He brought the drinks and helped us with organizational questions. The food was plentiful and offered a wide variety. From fresh vegetables and meat that you could fry yourself to fried foods and wok dishes - there was something for every taste. Vegetarians also got their money's worth and certainly didn't go home hungry. The sushi was surprisingly good, especially considering it's not just a sushi restaurant. Overall it was a successful evening, perfect for larger groups! Our colleagues were also satisfied. We can therefore warmly recommend Xiao.

Our server Shery was great. Thanks for the free plum wine😊

Were there for the first time and our Keller Shery accompanied the evening really well. Fulfilled our every wish.

Very tasty food and extremely good service. Always nice and polite. Even understand fun and laughter. Highly recommended.

Shery is a very good waiter, very polite and attentive

Our waiter Shery is the friendly service of the evening, always there when the glasses were almost empty

Very open dining area that also looks inviting. The service is very nice and friendly. We can only recommend this

Very tasty and looks friendly staff :)

Great waiter mo great service!!!!

Great service from mo and great ambience. Was very satisfied and would love to come back again

Nice modern shop, food/buffet is good. Service is also quick & nice, value for money is top. Negative: Toilet seats are completely worn out, benches are partly dirty and worn out. Sushi selection too small. My conclusion: you can do it.

Great load. Danisch is a great employee 🙌

All good food delicious shery best man good waiter

Impressions perfect, everyone friendly

Great food, great service! Gracias Shery 😊

The food was very good, wide selection. Only the temperature of the food could be a little higher.

You couldn't say it was all you can eat because we could only get hold of some fries and nuggets. Pure disaster. There was no real food and everything was delayed. The waiters were overwhelmed. If you offer so many seating options, you should also be prepared if the place burns down!! and should hire more staff!

All OP especially service sherry

Delicious food, great service, Sherry

Great selection overall of starters, main courses and desserts, also well signposted for vegetarian and vegan. Unfortunately very loud.

Thank you for our Christmas party with you… 🙌🏽

Everything was great, thank you very much!

Great selection and fair prices. Also suitable with children.

Large selection of dishes, great quality and very attentive service.

Tip top, Shery served us and we were super satisfied!!

Congratulations for a moment wonderful sphere and the wonderful waiters

Maxi best man!!! Had a wonderful evening thanks to the best service 💪🏻

Great selection and the food tastes really good

We were served by Shery and are completely satisfied. Super nice and fast service and the food was also very tasty👍🏻

Very tasty food and thanks to Shery we had wonderful service and a very nice evening.

We were there for the first time today with several people. It is a very nice, modern and clean atmosphere. There was a huge selection. The quality was also very, very good. We particularly liked that the food was in bowls like this. Everything was really very tasty. If something was empty, you had to buy something and it would be refilled immediately. Everything is freshly prepared. No comparison with usual Chinese food. We were there at 4:30 p.m. It got busier around 6:30 p.m. Nevertheless, we found everything very pleasant. The service was also A+ fast and so accommodating. Another thing, I personally can understand that you have to wait for the food you have put together yourself. With so many people, the chef can't do magic, so you have to expect that and try something else first. In your own kitchen, you can't get your food ready in 10 minutes.

It was a beautiful evening. Our waiter Shery was very nice and accommodating. The food could have been better.

Top service. Danış served me very well.

Thank you Danish for the good service

It works to some extent, but it's way too loud in the store, which disturbs the coziness.

It wasn't the first or last time we were there as a group. There is a sufficient selection of good food and tasty drinks outside of the standards. Personal recommendation: The Yuzu Lemon Icetea and the exceptional juices. The service staff is really super nice and encourages you to have little jokes. We felt really well looked after and had a wonderful evening. Until next time and thanks also to the team 🤗

The ambience is not bad, open buffet, everything is self-service except the flowers.

Very tasty food with a pleasant atmosphere. Service was really nice and even quite entertaining.

The buffet was somehow half empty the whole evening. The chocolate fountain didn't work at all and the vanilla fountain was empty after a short time. The meal I put together was literally drowned in the chosen sauce and I would like NOT to stick my hands to the beer glass. Conclusion: The restaurant is beautifully done and you won't starve, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Price-wise it was ok.

Were there again after a long time but it still has a Chinese restaurant not much in common. It's pretty cold, which is why the menu got cold quickly. Too bad. The staff is very accommodating and friendly.

The food was great and the service from the waiter Shery was nice and very friendly towards us. always happy to be there

Partly dirty. Food and dishes were constantly running out. Service slow but nice. Sometimes we received orders that were not ordered and ours took a very long time. In my opinion, not enough choice. I won't eat there again if I'm in the area again.

All I can say is that the service was simply top! The food tasted excellent and the atmosphere was festive and inviting. Every year I look forward to Christmas dinner here. It's always a highlight at Christmas time! Thank you for the wonderful experience – I will definitely be back!

Food top! Service top! Ambiance top!

Our Christmas party was very nice with you, we had a very nice waitress. Thank you 😊

Very busy at our time. Staff tries to fill up quickly. Sometimes gone quickly. Staff friendly

Michelle was super nice and came every now and then to make sure everything was okay.

Lots of choice and everything was very tasty.

Top advice from SHERY, really correct

Update November 2024: With Xiao's to good to go campaign, you're sold reusable bowls for €2.50 that you can't give back! You can then fill up the tiny bowls for an additional €7.00. To good to go at Xiao is more of a scam than a contribution to combating food waste. Very unfortunate. -------- Today the two of us ate the lunch buffet at Xiao GE, as we often do. We are mainly there at lunchtime because of the sushi and of course because of the other Asian delicacies that are included in the AYCE buffet. If there is no sushi, in this case it was the nigiri with salmon, we ask the staff if you would be so kind and add something. Today, however, we were severely insulted and had to endure a loud discussion with a waiter (nickname: Tony). We should "eat" what is there and if we "order" something soon, then we should pay €2 per piece. We couldn't understand half of the discussion, which unfortunately took place in an Asian language. The waiter in question then quickly disappeared into the kitchen and insulted us as “poor people” while shaking his head. Unfortunately we didn't see the waiter again, otherwise he would have already received his €2 tip.

The waiter Shzen or similar was very nice. Tried very hard. We were given a place next to the buffet Very nice and good service Food was ok… a little more fish would be nice The fried dishes are delicious and very well done

It's okay. Unfortunately, the food in the bowls is not as good as in Oberhausen. Beef with onions consisted almost entirely of onions.

Great service, very tasty lemonades, good selection of food, we'll be back.

Not enough variety to eat, especially with fish, not recommended

The food was really more than just good... But the really outstanding ambience on site could only be topped by our waitress Vanessa... I have only very rarely seen someone with so many friends in their job and always with a smile served customers. If I could I would even give the service 6 stars. Thank you very much for the wonderful birthday ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The food is of course delicious - but not exactly cheap either. Well, quality has its price! However, the service was disappointing. The BlackWeeks were advertised on the website. For students, the tariff on weekends was also 5 euros less, or around 19 euros. But the employee said that it was all nonsense on the XIAO site and that there are no discounts for students. The adult tariff applies. Of course the 5, - doesn't make me poorer and XIAO doesn't make me more expensive - but it was purely about principle and friendliness. I would have expected that the customer would be informed in advance if the prices on the Internet were incorrect. In principle, I can recommend XIAO Gelsenkirchen, but I would rather choose the competition next door next time.

It's a classic all you can eat, what was amazing here is the ambience and the very nice staff. There were 15 of us there on Saturday and everything went smoothly. Waitress mega courteous and nice. Where you unfortunately have to make compromises is with the sushi. Of course this is complaining at a “high” level, but I think there is still a lot of potential for improvement. Price-performance top. Will still come back!

Delicious food. Great shop. Always happy.

Good food and the service is very good. I'll definitely be back.

Had a lovely evening at ciao. The food was good and our waiter sherif (hopefully his name is spelled correctly) was super nice, friendly and attentive. Thanks for that

Our waiter shalie was kind and helpful!

Everything great. Maxi was a good waiter

Super delicious! Nice atmosphere and great service. The nice “Maxi” was very accommodating and even offered a delicious plum schnapps as a nightcap. Gladly again with the staff and the food.

The food is very tasty and varied!! The staff very attentive and friendly! So always happy :)

Simply magnificent and wonderful. We particularly liked Max and Michelle. Super friendly and accurate as well as professional service. Absolute recommendation and always happy. Our Christmas dinner was a complete success with Xiao and a great experience thanks to both of them (MundM).

Completely satisfied and absolutely worth the money.

The 3 of us spontaneously ate here today and, as always, we have been very satisfied so far. Maximilian served us and was very courteous and attentive to whether we still had drinks or whether something could be cleared away. We always enjoy coming back!!!

Very clean restaurant. The employees are very nice.

Everything was great. Sherry was great, food 10/10, service 15/15

Everything was great, the food was served by Shery

Food top it couldn't be better, best all you can eat ever, one of the employees, Sherry, was also very polite and patient.

Top as always and nothing to complain about

This week we spontaneously had lunch at XIAO Gelsenkirchen. We were greeted very nicely and immediately taken to a corner where we were allowed to choose a table. The selection of food is also really good at lunchtime. Everything was hot and delicious. I would especially like to rate our waiter Shery positively. Very friendly, quick, attentive and a good dose of humor. It was a great visit! ☺️

Great variety, rich buffet, delicious food

Very nice there, the best restaurant so far, very clean and friendly staff, highly recommended. Updated 11/14/24 Dirty dishes, several of them, dirty cutlery at the table, the quality of the food has become really bad, dry, salty, they don't see me there anymore.

Everything was really great! I'll come by more often soon 😍

Actually the restaurant is luxurious, the location is great, it is clean and the atmosphere is very good. I am Asian and have visited many Chinese buffets. Unfortunately the selection is very limited and there is not enough variety of food to compare with other Chinese buffets. I thought I could find different seafood dishes there, like shrimps and mussels, unfortunately there isn't, only raw seafood only for grilling. The taste is also not special like in real Chinese restaurants, especially the fried noodles and fried rice. Whoever said in reviews that there was a lot of choice and delicious had no idea about buffet. I'm really disappointed... for the first time and never again.

The waitress named Shery was very friendly and served us perfectly. :)

I had shery he was very good and nice, really good food!

Everything was great, from service to food.

The restaurant is very nice, the food as well and the service is fast. Our server Shery was very nice and made our experience very enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back.

Sherry very attentive and accommodating!

Well, it was actually quite good. But somehow nothing special. The structure is different than the normal Chinese restaurant but somehow not a huge buffet. The prices are pretty decent. Won't be my favorite Chinese but once was ok

Top food Top waiter, his name was Charry 😃if it is spelled that way

The food was great, "our" waiter (Chery) was very nice and attentive.
