Options included, Mongolian, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese. Sometimes I dislike buffets because you feel obligated to get your 18 € worth. But since they also had sushi, so that was easy! This place is popular and a little warn looking. The benches and chairs could use some upkeep. Service was prompt, and the buffet was replenished as it should have been.

The restaurant was actually so much bigger that I expected, I also like the design here, really modern but at the same time got some traditional Chinese thing around. The whole restaurant got a really nice atmosphere, quite nice to come here with friends or a special one. Their food are in the Chinese Shanghai art. For me, personally I don't usual go with the Shanghai art, it just generally tasted a bit sweet to me, in most of dishes. That was my experience until I went to this restaurant. This time I went there only to try out their buffet. The buffet was actually quite big. The Thing is, at lunch time, it only got a small part of the buffet opened, the food still looked great thought. Some of them even tasted great, just less options. After I finished my meal, I did a glance of the dinner buffet. Wow, it looked pretty good. I probably will come back next time just for dinner. One thing i also noticed, it seem like quite a lot tables was reserved, when the night is getting closer. I guess if people just can here directly, probably to find a good table, better just give them a call before you go. Although it was almost self service during my time there, there was a small accident happened, it was totally the fault of those customers, what I saw, I think the staff did handle it very well. At the end, I think this place is actually quite nice. Go there with friends for buffet, surely it's a great place. I will like to come again.

The staff is friendly and the food is very tasty! I would recommend to go there and try it for once when you're in berlin.

Since this place is claiming to be the biggest Asia Buffet in Berlin I didn 't go here for authentic Asian food. No, I was craving for some unauthentic cheap fried noodles with greasy vegetarian springrolls in sweet-sour sauce. Turns our Five Zhou is neither cheap nor did I get my fried noodles because all fried rise and noodle dishes were with egg and I underestimated Five Zhous ambition for a well equiped buffet. For the price of 18€ you do get a wiiiiiiide selection of pretty much every classical non-asian-but-claiming-to-be-asian food. The ingredients were fresh, well-seasoned and not over-cooked. Their grill station was huge and offered enough to compensate the fact that I won 't get any fried noodles. (I discovered oyster mushrooms instead and went full pacman on them) In the end: I was super surprised that this buffet is actually quite nice (even as a vegan). I simply wish that Five Zhou could offer one fried rice noodle dish without eggs as a vegan addition.

I am writing this with a bad stomachache. Hopefully they can correct the flavors to taste more like what country they claimed to be from. The waiter also had some attitude with me. I understand that he doesn't speak English, but my German friend was with me and helped when I tried to return my bottle of water that I hadn't even opened. The waiter refused to take it back. I decided that since the food was so bad that I didn't feel like spending 5€ more on this bottle of water so I didn't open it. He only allowed me to exchange it for a Coke. Spent 18€ on the buffet and 2.40€ on the Coke. Not worth it at all. The only thing I can say is the restaurant looked quite modern and stylish? But that's ALL
