XIAO Marl in Marl

Great service, good food! A thank you to Krystina and Tosin We'd love to come back!

Thanks Jonny, very nice service.

We've been there several times now and it's always been nice. The food is good and the service was always very friendly. This time Krystina served us and I think the service can't be beat 😊

Every time we come to Marl we go to this great restaurant. We feel completely at home here and enjoy the very good service, the ambience and of course the diverse food. Today we were served by Krystina...bravo...that's the only way to inspire and win customers. It's rare to find such employees who put their heart and soul into it!!! We'd love to come back.

Went there for Christmas dinner with our group of 18 people Friendly and helpful staff Food was very tasty and always refilled without long waiting times Top

Good to Go, it's great and I'm very happy to support it.

Everything was great. We spontaneously drove past it and then went directly to the parking spaces in front of the door (there were enough) You will be welcomed at the entrance and then shown straight to your table. (You have to say it was Sunday and Christmas time, and no reservations were made) The drinks menu is very clear Drinks (a bit too much ice for my taste, but opinions are always different) are served quickly and you can go straight to the buffet. The food is great and there is a wide selection of dishes (starter/main/dessert) The service staff are very attentive (but also nice and helpful right from the start) and clear away empty plates quickly or you can order new drinks directly from the service staff (for us it was Joline). All in all a worthwhile evening. It was certainly not our last visit 👍🏻

The waiter Sinan was very polite and accommodating. Really great.

Unfortunately I can only give 3 stars for the food, the food prepared by the chef tasted burnt twice. The buffet was good, it was always replenished quickly and the taste was good. The service was very nice and the plates were cleared quickly. Despite the fact that it was very full, you could still have a conversation at the table, it wasn't loud and you could get through the buffet quickly. Overall 4 stars.

We had nice, attentive and good service from Krystina

We were served very friendly and quickly by Krystina. Very warm and totally sweet. It was a lovely evening! Thanks!

Our waitress was Joline. She was really very nice and polite. And even though we were a large group (10 people) and some joined later, she was always patient with us and understanding.

I was there for the 5th time today and as always I was super satisfied. My kids really enjoyed it and my daughter is always excited when we eat there. We had super friendly service today and on the other days too. The food is great. Since I have histamine intolerance, I can still tolerate food very well. A great recommendation from us!👍

The entire staff was very friendly and helpful, and our host Krystina was the assistant. You could tell straight away that she was passionate about it 😍 5 stars aren't enough. Unfortunately, it's no longer a given these days. Thank you for that 😍 We'll be happy to come back.

Large selection of dishes. Very nice service.

I have never had such a professional and chill service (Krystina). The food was great and the service couldn't be better, I'll be back soon <3

Super great dining experience and very nice service. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back, especially when Krystina is there 🤗🥰

Our waitress Joline was amazing. So professional, committed and friendly! We had a really great evening. Of course the food was also delicious, but everyone knows that 😉

Has decreased significantly. We won't be coming back.

Joline's service was great! We had a really nice evening.

We wanted to give Xiao another chance after the quality had deteriorated and the price had increased at the same time, as we used to enjoy eating at Xiao. The blackweeks offers encouraged us to visit again. We were pleasantly surprised. Not only is the quality of the food good again, but also the selection. Our dining experience was rounded off by charming service. Krystina mastered the art of attracting attention without being intrusive. We'd love to come back.

The service was breathtaking! Thanks Joline!

Service was first class, thank you Joline!

Very nice and attentive service!

We ate at XIAO for the first time today and I have to say, I'm really impressed. The food was great, super tasty, varied selection. The food is checked regularly to see if it is still at the right temperature. Great taste! And the service was great too. Definitely coming back

A very pleasant evening with friends. Dear Krystina was responsible for our table and she made the whole thing really great. We all felt very comfortable. 😊

Delicious food, very slimmed down for lunch. A little bit disappointing. Still a nice place, the atmosphere has changed over the years. Unfortunately I'm missing the fortune cookies for the fun ending.😔

Everything was great as always. Ronny was such a nice waiter! 😊

First-class food offerings in a very dignified atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Food and ambience great 👍🏻 Praise to the service (Ronny 💪🏼)

We sat comfortably in our group and chose delicious things from the huge range of food on offer. A friendly waitress (Mr. Dishanan) made everything perfect.

Super nice service from Sinan 👍🏻

The waitress Anja is very friendly and attentive. The drinks were delivered quickly and clearing the plates went really well. The price-performance ratio is completely okay. We'd love to come back. Thanks to the whole team.

Unfortunately the buffet was empty. Unfortunately, many of the dishes were cold. It took a very long time until newly prepared dishes were added. The service was good. The ambience was very nice.

Great restaurant with a rich buffet and Krystina looked after our large group very attentively throughout the evening

Always enjoyed being there. All these years since it opened. But after being there today, I have to revise my opinion. The restaurant was probably... half occupied, if at all. The offer was quickly grazed and many bowls were empty. There was little follow-up. The quality didn't convince me either. Too bad. For me it's no longer worth it. Price/performance doesn't fit. staff is very friendly.

Completely satisfied. The waiter Sinan was very friendly and attentive.

Incredibly tasty and lots of choice

We had Joline as a waitress and she was very nice and regularly asked if we were okay. Top 😊

We had a wonderful evening at XIAO Marl, our waitress Joline was very friendly and attentive. The buffet was varied, always well filled and everything was very tasty. We will definitely come back and thank you again Joline.

Sinan was very kind and accommodating

Very good service, greetings to our waiter Jonny

We will definitely come back! Also because it is prepared 100% glutamate-free.

The last time we ate here was about 5 years ago. Comparatively, the food has become less spicy. Not necessarily bland, but more suited to the European palate. I missed the shrimp dishes from earlier. Of course you can let them fry. But the finished dishes with the shrimp were excellent. The service, however, was impeccable. It felt like our service came every 10 minutes, cleared things up and asked questions. I thanked her for the good service. The name was Krystina. I would be happy if your good service was rewarded.

Great❤️❤️❤️❤️, I spent my birthday dinner there with family and friends, everyone was completely thrilled. Great food, with great music. The prices are reasonable for everything that is on offer, and those who host parties know that food and drinks cost. Added to this is the stress. Here you have to come in, enjoy and relax. A big thank you again to the waitress Krystina, who not only handled the stacks of glasses but also the orders quickly and skillfully

There was a lot to eat. Service was very attentive. A nice evening with friends.

Jonny provided extremely excellent service. Very attentive, friendly and polite. Gladly again

There were 5 of us eating there today. We were warmly welcomed and escorted to the table. Dishanan was in charge of table service. He was friendly, attentive and kept asking if everything was still OK. The atmosphere there is now better and no longer resembles a train station hall (I have to admit it hasn't been there for a long time). It was very well attended. This meant there was a certain amount of acoustics in the restaurant, but you could have a good conversation at the table. Unfortunately, it was noticeable at the buffet that it was very busy and the individual bowls were often empty and it took a while until they were refilled. The “fried buffet” also seemed a bit busy. We were given food that we didn't let fry. Apparently the brackets were swapped. Sometimes there were other things on the plate that you didn't want to fry. In terms of taste, one or the other could have been seasoned better for our taste.

We like to eat here occasionally. The range of food on offer works very well for us and so far we have always found everything in sufficient quantities. The restaurant is nicely decorated and cozy despite its large size. The service has always been good. The first drink comes in a flash. How good the further support is then depends very much on the staff. Finally we were served by Krystina, she was incredibly attentive, very friendly and immediately took care of empty plates or empty glasses. That's why there are 5 stars for this category in the rating. Keep it up!

Very nice and attentive service

Sinan and the team were very accommodating. We liked it very much.

It was really tasty again. Anita served us well and was there for us at all times. Definitely coming back :)

Very large selection of food and good quality! The waitress (Krystina) is very attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere is very appealing, you feel comfortable. Only 1 star deducted because of the drink prices and the waiting time.

Had a buffet, very good and 😋 tasty

We asked for the waiter for drinks 3 times. He just didn't come. Waited at least 40 minutes.

Very tasty food. All delicious. Our waitress Denise welcomed us warmly and was there for us the whole evening. A special thank you for that, it was really fun working with you. Unfortunately 1 star deducted for the ambience, the music (house sounds) on the continuous loop was really terrible and doesn't suit me at all. But that's no reason to definitely come back.

The food was great and so was the service (Dishanan and Jonny). However, all the employees were super nice. We felt very comfortable and had a very nice evening.

Very good selection of food and friendly service. I felt good!

Nice service nice staff reasonable price,big choice of buffet and Mongolian grill big love for XIAO Marl

Anita is the best waitress in the world

We were there on Friday around 3 p.m. There was a waiter who said "I'll be right there" every time and never came back. His colleague took care of us. Otherwise, as always, delicious food, lots of choice. What I would like is a little more selection of sushi types.

The dirtiest and most unfriendly “restaurant” in the Recklinghausen district! If you point out unhygienic grievances, you will be asked to leave very unprofessionally by the unkempt, unfriendly "staff" 🤦🏻‍♂️

Service Kristina was super attentive and sweet! The food is also rich, fresh and delicious. Always happy to do so 🥰

A really huge selection of delicious, gluten-free dishes. There is a very good selection of drinks, including our own lemonades. The employees are all very nice and attentive. Dear Denise was assigned to our table. With a lot of humor and attention we felt very comfortable. Thank you again.

A very nice and courteous service (Denise) and delicious food

I had a wonderful lunch with my girlfriend at Xiao Restaurant. The lunch buffet was very rich and tasty. The waitresses always had a smile on their faces and were also available for little jokes. I would particularly like to highlight Krystina and her blonde colleague, whose name I unfortunately don't know, who made our lunch a great experience from the welcome to the farewell. Thank you both for the lovely day with you!

Had a lovely evening at xiao marl with our emergency room team, the food was good, the service from Denise was great, she was super open-minded, responded to our needs and did a top job, thank you very much for that. All in all a very successful evening.

Denise made the evening very entertaining.

Very loud...some of the food was cold...depending on where you sit it takes forever until a waiter comes

Joline served us very well and was extremely friendly

Extensive buffet where the dishes are always freshly exchanged. If something is missing, the employees will help immediately. During our visit this time, we were informed at the entrance that many guests would arrive spontaneously and that the waiting time could be a little longer. The service staff were nevertheless very attentive and friendly. A reservation is recommended.

Today's visit by my wife and I to Xiao in Marl was very nice. This was our second visit since the restaurant was renovated. The selection of dishes at the buffet was very good and left us with many new, modern impressions. In contrast to other Chinese restaurants, you don't get the feeling that time has stood still here, but that Xiao adapts to the new trends and needs of its guests and gives them its own touch. I would also like to particularly mention the friendly and competent service. The service person named Joline was assigned to our table, who quickly took care of all requests, picked up and brought the drinks quickly, and quickly cleared the buffet plates. Shortly before we left we were surprised because a small cluster had accumulated in the checkout area. Joline then immediately gave us the explanation that these were people from the “Too good to go” app who could receive leftover food from the restaurant for a small amount. We find this process very progressive and sustainable. Happy to keep it that way. Overall, we were very satisfied with our visit, the food and the service we received and would therefore be happy to come back!

Good quality food at a fair price. The waitress Joline was very friendly.

Food very tasty Our waitress Krystina was super nice👌 We felt very comfortable 👍

Rice was dry and old, there was little choice, a few types of fish were cut into small pieces. The waitress was unfriendly, never again

Unfortunately it was a bit loud and echoey (there might have been better seats where this wouldn't have been so noticeable due to the room separation). Anita served us very well and the food was very tasty with a very large selection.

As always, we are very satisfied. Food hot and very tasty. The service person Anita did her job perfectly. We look forward to the next visit

Four of us were there with a reservation on a Friday. We sat down and were quickly asked by George about the drinks. He was nice, so he would have liked to have been able to stop by the table twice more. The food tasted very good.

Was eating there for the first time with friends. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is very pleasant. There was enough space everywhere. I didn't feel cooped up. The waitresses were very friendly and accommodating. There was always enough food. When it came to salmon, I always came at the wrong time 😉, either my plate was full and nothing more fit on it or the salmon had just been plundered except for a few smaller pieces. That's life 😊. All in all, it was a very pleasant visit for me.

We went out for dinner today (11/18/24) and I enjoyed a great buffet and sensational service! The buffet is very good, the food tastes very good. There are just as many sweet things. Drinking is just as good. There is a pleasant amount of ice in the drink. BIG PRAISE! I would like to say thank you to the employees, the restaurant is very clean, everything from the toilets to the table is meticulously cleaned - you can tell! We were allowed to be served by lovely Krystina, an incredibly sweet, friendly, sympathetic and attentive woman! She made the visit a wonderful experience and it was conveyed to us; that we would like to come back - we are very happy to do that! A big thank you and a big recommendation! Everyone working there was very friendly, the food - the service - the hygiene and the prices are completely satisfactory here. See you again! Thank you Krystina for this great service and her friendly laugh!

Smell of chlorine on the door otherwise great

Top courteous service. Super fast and very attentive.

Despite a full house, waitress Kristina always tried to provide cool drinks. We felt very comfortable with her!

Good selection of food, fruit and ice cream. Freshly prepared dishes are tasty, seasoned with selected sauces and served quickly. The service is good and the staff, we were served by the service employee DISHANAN, were very friendly and quick. Used dishes are cleared away quickly.

The food isn't what it used to be! The unfriendly and rude staff, as well as the boss, didn't even bother to look for a free table, even though there were so many free tables that were definitely not reserved an hour before closing time! Never again👎

The waitress Ms. Joline was very accommodating. Simply very nice service. 19 stars for you

Well the food was okay, the service wasn't that great, we had to wait 20 minutes to place the order and then another 25 minutes for the drinks.

We reserved a table for 8:30 p.m. and were there two hours earlier and they still helped us get a table ready so we could stay. Service and drinks came very quickly. Great selection of food. Quality ranges from very good to mediocre depending on what you took. The things weren't as greasy as you would normally find at other all-you-can-eat buffets. All in one recommended. The price is higher than you know, but you also noticed the difference and tasted the better quality.

Our waitress Jolina was very nice. Very good food, unfortunately our chocolate fountain was empty.

The food was great and the service was very friendly, accommodating and polite (Joline)

Joline was very friendly and attentive.

As always, very tasty and fresh selection of Asian dishes in buffet form. Nice atmosphere. Update September 2022: Even more attractive after renovation, dishes are absolutely outstanding in terms of quantity and quality. Still recommended! Update 2024: As usual, everything is fine.

Seorge was very nice and very well organized. It was also very wide, keep moving through Seorge💪

Great restaurant with a great atmosphere and delicious food! The waitress Krystina was incredibly friendly and attentive, such service makes the visit special! I'll definitely be back!

Everything great! Stayed with Krystina, who was super nice! Service was a 10/10!

We were there on November 8th, 2024. Anita is a very friendly and courteous employee.

Great food. We were looked after very nicely by Krystina. Thank you very much for that

We had a very good meal there yesterday on November 8th, 2024. The dishes were all very tasty and, above all, freshly prepared. Not the usual stuff like other restaurants of this type. I would particularly like to praise the outstandingly courteous and friendly service from Sinan, who served us. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

Wir waren Stammkunden aber werden das Restaurant nie wieder aufsuchen. Die Qualität und der Geschmack der Speisen hat ganz extrem nachgelassen. Wir waren alle vier total enttäuscht.

The service person (Denise) was super competent, friendly and helpful. She was always ready but absolutely not intrusive. The food was delicious, but the fried noodles (on November 2nd, 2024) were unfortunately cold and the strawberries were very mushy. The rest was super tasty and having it freshly prepared worked really well and was ready quickly considering the high number of guests.
