XIAO Krefeld in Krefeld

Super delicious food without glutamate. Very fresh and not too much breaded as usual. The live cooking with the 10 sauces was particularly a highlight. Just took a little longer. Unfortunately, the only real con are the expensive drinks. Unfortunately, €5 for a 0.4l cola is very expensive. If the drinks were cheaper or, for example, a flat rate was possible for a fair surcharge, it would definitely be 5. We'll still come back.

The food was good and there was enough, but the service was too few for so many guests. Despite the size and the many guests, the ambience would never be too loud

Nice atmosphere, great decor There is also a great opportunity to “save” food with the to good to go app. We like to drive 30km here because the food tastes delicious. The quality is incredibly good. Simply great :) 5 stars

Restaurant with all-you-can-eat buffet, drinks have to be paid separately. Food is very tasty, there is a lot to choose from. I wasn't particularly impressed with the sushi, but the rest is excellent. The employees are friendly and competent. The ambience is a bit cool, but modern and clean. The prices are mid-range and also reasonable.

Great food and everything without glutamate. Perfect😊

Was very tasty Price of course a bit higher

The selection is plentiful and the food on offer is mostly delicious. Unfortunately we had to wait quite a long time until the "naked" shrimp were refilled. As on our previous visit, we again had very loud and annoying guests at the next table. Since the tables are close to each other, you inevitably hear everything, including things you don't want to hear, especially while eating. We found it annoying that the aisles between the buffet and also next to the tables were viewed as a playground by the many children under 10-12 years present. It is also unpleasant that these children fight over the ice cream scoops and take things from the buffet with their fingers or occasionally put something back on the buffet. The fact that the parents raised their children poorly in this regard and then do not have "under control" on site is probably due to the spirit of the times. Apparently, consideration is no longer the order of the day, the main thing is that the children have fun and the parents have peace and quiet. The restaurant should find a solution for this. Why do “small children” have to play in the restaurant in the evening? Maybe there should also be a minimum age for self-service at the buffet.

We had a great evening. A wonderful and respectful service from Timo👍

Service was impeccable. Timo was a super friendly waiter

Is not recommended. Pure feeding operation without atmosphere. The food was in the bottom drawer, unsightly, stale, the buffet was half empty. I knew exactly that from Oberhausen.

Went there for the first time on December 14th, 2024, as a group of four. Nice location, with really good food, so that you don't have to carry around the typical "post-Asian full-belly feeling" for hours later. The service was a disaster: sometimes unfriendly, unmotivated and stroppy. Plates were not cleared away or were cleared very late and on top of that you were reprimanded with a fake and pained smile for not putting the used plates on the empty table next door. Unfortunately, yesterday we had to beg for the waitress's attention, so we were constantly left high and dry. Conclusion: * Great location * good food without the typical feeling of fullness * far too high prices (considering that this is a self-service restaurant and the drink prices are outrageous => a Cola Zero € 4.90) *Unfortunately we received poor service at our table, which to be fair could have been an isolated experience, but that was the case. Due to the exorbitantly high prices and poor service, my overall rating is 2 stars and so it remains a unique experience.

Tim was very friendly. Attentive. Gave us tips for the chopsticks.

We found it very pleasant in this restaurant. The food was very good and it wasn't too crowded at the time. The service was very friendly and nice. Thank you Tim.

Very, very tasty food and super nice service. Highly recommended.

Food a la buffet was good, tasted great. The restaurant is very large and a bit too loud for my taste. Nice, competent employees...

Good quality ingredients, plenty of choice! It was all very tasty.

Particularly noteworthy is Julija's service!!!!! Awarded with a star!!! A very kind and capable person!!! It doesn't get any better!

The food is beautifully presented in large bowls. Not as loveless in vats as we usually see. Taste is also great. Lots of different things so there really is something for everyone. Our waitress was very friendly.

Very tasty, very nice waiter, I'll be happy to come back when Tim serves me💪👍

Very friendly and attentive service staff, it was a successful evening - Merry Christmas 🎄 Another Christmas party after a year 😄 significantly reduced range of dishes on offer, taste of the sauces worsened, service still top-notch - therefore looking for an alternative to the next Christmas party 😞

There's nothing to complain about. Super tasty and nice service. Always worth a visit.

Super nice welcome and great service. Always polite, courteous and friendly 😊

I always look forward to eating there or picking up a TooGoodToGo box. A special compliment goes to the super lovely staff: Sarina, Lisa, Anastasia and Phillip, you are great :D

Food, ambience and above all the super friendly staff. A big shout out to everyone I've gotten to know so far: Lisa, Sarina, Anastasia and Phillip. You are great 👍

Reception and the waiters were very nice and friendly

We have been here several times now, probably because our children love the chocolate fountain. Apart from that, you have to say that the service is really excellent every time. On Friday Lisa was responsible for our table. Super friendly, always a smile, despite the full house, rarely but all the better. Directly at the front desk, our last-minute request as to whether we could have a table with a seat was responded to very pragmatically: two twos became a four for us.

very pleasant evening at Xiao. Julija served us brilliantly and implemented every wish immediately. Thank you very much Julia

Good food and very friendly welcome from Sarina.

All you can. A large Chinese and Mongolian buffet. Everything very fresh and tasty, skillfully presented. Also suitable for groups and parties. If you have anything left over in the evening, TopGoodToGo has delicious, inexpensive options. Overall, highly recommended!

Delicious buffet, good food, plenty of tables and seats available

Service was excellent, Antonella in particular was super friendly and quick.

Great and delicious evening Gladly again

Something different than the typical Asian, everything is clean, sushi is fine, dessert is very good, one star deduction for the grill took far too long December 4th, 2024 There were 6 people today, no crispy duck and much worse, DIRTY PLATES!

We were there at lunchtime, there was hardly anything going on and the food was fresh. Service was very nice. Our waitress was called Tim and he took good care of us and our little child.

It was a lovely evening in a pleasant atmosphere. The food was very good and our waitress Antonella's enthusiasm for her job was evident at all times.

Surprisingly good! And Lisa provided a very nice service, thank you very much for that!

Antonella our waitress was very accommodating and very nice. Delicious food & balanced. Happy to come back!

Great service from Antonella. Thanks for that

Service was very friendly, would definitely come again!

Very friendly welcome from Sarina, she was super nice and accommodating.

What stands out is the live grill with the option to choose from 10 different sauces that you like best. The already prepared dishes in the wok are also very tasty and are ideal as an in-between course. We received a very friendly welcome from Sarina on our first visit. She led us to the table and explained to us how the sauces on the LiveGrill work, the FoodWaste program and also the option of “To Good to Go”. We'd love to come back.

The work itself was really nice, the restaurant also seemed very clean and nicely decorated. It was a very cozy atmosphere. The food was great, but I would have liked more vegetarian/vegan dishes (especially for dessert). Unfortunately, the only drawback was that the glasses didn't look very clean. My mother had a wine glass returned because it obviously didn't look clean. It was changed immediately, but the other glasses were also very greasy and this inhibited my appetite somewhat. All in all, still a great restaurant. Enough selection so there was something for everyone.

Very good food All dishes were perfect in preparation and temperature. Lisa was a super nice and courteous service person, of whom we need a few more in the industry. We'll definitely be back

A very large selection - also for vegetarians and vegans. So there is something for everyone. I had a matcha iced tea, which I really liked. The service was also very friendly. The atmosphere can perhaps be a bit louder in the evenings. I was there at lunchtime and it was very cozy at that time.

Visit = 4 people Saturday 6 p.m Food selection really limited, could be a little more varied. (Real Asian + Vegetarian) Reception: Extremely accommodating, very welcoming and always ready for quick solutions. Top!!! Service: There could probably be more employees there on the weekend, the service employees are very stressed (taking orders, clearing dishes, etc.). If you look at it like that, you would like more support, which occasionally also affects the waiting time (drinks to place orders) Ambiance: Very high ceilings therefore make the volume very pleasant for a buffet restaurant even with many guests, so you can have a conversation without having to shout. Prices - ok.... If the food selection is more varied then the prices would probably be justified. We look forward to our next visit.

Lisa does a very great job and is a very nice waitress 🤗

All good, only the entrance to the restaurant is not so well thought out.

Everything is great. Lisa the waitress was very accommodating💰

Food is ok, but varies greatly. Sushi is bad, the curries are OK, the meat on the grill is disgusting, a lot of things could use a little flavor. Even the stylish tiles can't get rid of the feeling of a warehouse

Hello The food was great, lots of choice and a pleasant atmosphere Our waitress with the nickname (cheeky Asian woman) was also very nice and accommodating..

The waitress named Lisa is super nice and very attentive. We would love to come back 😉

All the waiters are super friendly. Especially Lisa, she was very attentive and nice. The restaurant was also nice and the food was very tasty (the drinks tasted twice as good as usual because Lisa brought them)

Lisa and Julia were the best waitresses who ever lived. Fat praise :)

Food was good. Nice restaurant. The waitress Lisa was very attentive.

Props go out to the most competent waitresses in this house, the Asian Julia and the lovely Lisa :-)

Lisa and Julia were incredibly great and attentive waitresses who combined the necessary casualness but also professionalism. The food was equally excellent. I would definitely come back, especially if I were served by the same waitresses again.

Very friendly waitresses. LG Lisa.

Lisa and Julia were super friendly

Lisa is a very nice waitress, pretty and sweet

Great service thanks to Lisa. Thank you!

It was a really nice evening thanks Lisa!

Lisa served very well and was very nice

Everything great. Very nice service. Thank you, Lisa

Thanks Lisa, it was a lovely evening

The buffet and the service were great. Lisa's service as well. Gladly again.

Buffet was great. The waitress Lisa was super nice!!! Gladly again!

Our server Lisa was simply great. Was with you for the first time and was totally thrilled. Always happy again - but only with Lisa :-)

Top conditions from Lisa and Julia 🤗

Very nice service and a very large selection of food. Best meal in a long time!

Unfortunately I have to correct my original opinion. I still like the ambience. This time the service was a little overwhelming for us. Personally, I didn't like the quality of the food and I think it has gotten worse, especially considering the price/performance ratio. I'm excited to see how this develops.

Very nice waitress! Lisa is super friendly. The food is also great

The waitress Lisa was very attentive and nice. The food, as always, was very tasty. We'd love to come back.

Lisa was so friendly, all she was missing was her wings. An angel on earth.

Once again we had a very nice evening with delicious food and really accommodating staff (Tim & Lisa, feel free to keep that with you ✌️). Thank you!

Update from November 28, 2024. We ate there today with a larger group (approx. 20 people) and I have to say that this time it was perfect. We were there earlier and there was plenty of everything. But what really made the evening perfect was our waitress LISA. An angel without wings and always a smile. For Lisa, stress seems to be a foreign word. After all, we had 17 14 year olds at the table. It's rare to have such a friendly waitress who remains calm despite the challenges and who genuinely enjoys her job. Lisa really makes me forget our previous experience and I don't regret giving Xiao another chance. How nice that there are still such attentive and friendly waitresses. Would like more of it. I originally gave it 3 stars, 2 of them for the service (see below) but tonight deserves FIVE STARS. My review from about 2 months ago: We've been to XIAO several times before, but this time around 8 p.m. with a reservation. Unfortunately, after 9 p.m. it was clear that not all areas were being refilled. The yellow curry had already been stripped of the chicken, so I had to check to see if it wasn't a vegetarian dish. I hate throwing away food myself, but I don't pay less if I go to the buffet after 9 p.m. one day a week. Other things were also significantly less present. The service was worse. I would say that it was significantly understaffed and you could tell by the mood of the lady who was responsible for our area (and obviously a much larger area). After it took forever for someone to request a drink (you can then order yourself with your cell phone), it also took forever for someone to take the empty plates. However, we had placed them on the free neighboring table because we were now sitting at the table with twice the number of plates, the full ones and the empty ones. It was pointed out to me that I should please refrain from doing this, that someone would always come by to clear away, and that the clean table next to me should not be soiled with used plates. OK. We did it. Until our table was so full again that we had to ask someone from the staff who was bringing out plates if he could take ours. Even after that, no more plates were taken until the bill was paid. We ordered the bill when it was paid at the next table and we asked if we could also pay. The answer was that the lady still had to spin one more round and therefore could not cash in immediately. (This wasn't very friendly either) After another 10 minutes at the table filled with plates, because she didn't take them with her, we were finally allowed to pay. I can understand if someone is stressed, which was no longer entirely justified at this time because the restaurant was now pretty much empty. But you don't have to let the customer feel so obviously or at least express that you're sorry because you're alone in service today. But maybe it's also a character trait.

Philipp and Lisa provided great service and would be happy to come back

Lisa was our server, very friendly and accommodating. The food was great too!!

Lisa served in a very friendly, cheerful and humorous manner. The food also tasted good. We'd love to come back.

Food was excellent, our waitress Lisa was extremely friendly and very accommodating. We would love to come back 👍🏻

Lisa is a very friendly and competent server, good food.

Lisa looked after us brilliantly and was very child-friendly. Thank you!

The food was very tasty and we really enjoyed it. Lisa was very nice :)

Some of the food wasn't really hot, the king prawns were barely cooked through, the food in general didn't taste particularly Asian. Large, interesting selection and very good service from Tim.

Lisa was very attentive and careful

Lisa was super nice and accommodating 😊👍👍

Very tasty, but you should only go after 4 p.m. even if it is a little more expensive then, the selection is bigger and better (carpacchio, salmon, filled cream puffs with hazelnut ice cream and liquid warm chocolate uneducated (super delicious), these things were in the early days (12 to 16) unfortunately not on the buffet!

Best Asian buffet I've seen so far. Very friendly and attentive staff, the waiter Tim has been in charge of us several times and he does a very good job.

Very good selection and very nice staff Sushi is very tasty

Everything was great and very tasty

Very nice restaurant and atmosphere, as well as great food. Kudos to the staff for their helpfulness and friendliness (which is very rare these days). The variety of dishes is also impressive. I can recommend the XIAO 100 percent.

The food was very good. There is plenty of choice for all three courses. The service was okay. The ambience is good, the music is pleasant.

On the whole it was all very nice, the music was just too loud for me personally, but of course that's up to everyone to decide for themselves

Mein schreibt das wie das wirklich war der Lokal das Essen und wird von Google angeschrieben und die Bewertung gelöscht

Hier war die Auswahl der Speisen sehr umfangreich. Alles was wir gegessen haben war gut zubereitet und lecker 😋 Der servicekraft Emilia gebührt ein Sonderlob für ihre Aufmerksamkeit!

der Sushi schmeckt nach nichts die TintenfischRinge sind auch Fahrt ohne Geschmack wir waren heute zum ersten Mal hier und auch zum letzten Mal schmeckt nach nichts hat mich ein bisschen enttäuscht

For the price I expected more for the food. The Tepanyaki Grill (Mongolian buffet or whatever you want to call it) is ok. The wok dishes, salads and desserts are like any other Chinese buffet. I somehow missed pork. The staff absolutely friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is more reminiscent of a canteen. The drinks are expensive. Since the restaurant is very far away, you have to find a driver who doesn't drink alcohol.

Nicely decorated restaurant. Despite the size, the volume was kept within limits. The food was delicious (I was there with my children and that's saying something 😉) and the service was really good. I would especially like to highlight our waitress Anastasia. Super friendly, competent and attentive. And with her cheerful nature and her laughter, she really infected us. Thanks for that. We'll definitely be back 😊

Delicious Asian food in a special atmosphere! Highly recommended!

For people who are very hungry, it is worth a visit because it is quite expensive. We paid almost 75 euros for a two-person buffet and two bottles of water, which is pretty steep! The buffet is quite nice, served in small bowls that are constantly refilled. Visually very nice, with a few small exceptions, what you would expect from Asian restaurants. Food not really warm but quite tasty. The dish that we had freshly prepared was burned by both of us and therefore not edible. The dessert buffet looks like a children's candy shop, which I didn't like and except for the fruit, everything was out of the box. The restaurant is modernly furnished, but due to its size it feels uncomfortable like a hall and has quite a lot of background noise, so it's not a place where you can have a comfortable meal. The ambience is more reminiscent of an American restaurant. The staff is very friendly and attentive, but seems a little artificial. Conclusion: If you are very hungry and want to eat something quickly, you are in good hands here.

Despite there being little going on, the food was always fresh and tasty.
