Overall, food quality is good and would have gotten a "Very Good" rating here from us if it was not for the price, double of most Chinese restaurants in Essen. Chinese, Malay, anyways, excuses don't explain why you pay as much for a Buffet as you would for a sit down meal. Drinks are also steep.

First of all to the restaurant itself: good access for public transport as well as by car, beautiful, modern and thematic ambience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The order was received quickly and it was also served in a reasonable time. For food: At the buffet there is something for everyone, there are all the usual dishes, e.g. duck, eight treasures, chickens, pork, salad, soup, sushi etc.. However, I would give the buffet the schoolnote sufficient as you taste that the dishes are produced in bulk and you will wait long for the filling. I should also mention that we have already tried many Chinese buffets that we love Chinese cuisine. In accordance with the order, the dishes are also served extra inquiries, such as extra sauce and in a reasonable time. Also the portions are more than sufficient to pack us the rest at home was the hungry babysitter of the grandmother. I would give the restaurant the overall grade and so recommend.

So far I was there twice and can tell you about these experiences: Location The restaurant is located in the former pressure building Giradet, a little hidden, but also well accessible by bus (Martinstr or Giradethaus), train (Martinstr. or Messe Ost/Gruga) or car (large parking). The restaurant itself, which was traditionally chinese decorated with the standard elements such as Koi pond, dark red walls, etc., has now been very focused on a modern design. Walls and furniture are black with yellow, golden or green appearances, looks very noble. It has two large rooms connected to each other, so enough people can stay there. The music in the background is the same dull as in any China restaurant and annoys after a short time. Buffet The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat buffet (Chinese and Mongolian, although I have not noticed the difference yet), but it is not always complete, often lack many dishes or they are quickly cold (maybe I was there on Sunday night and at the time there are fewer visitors). The usual dishes, as well as a small selection of sushi, dessert and salad are served. Unfortunately, I no longer have the price in my head, but it differs after daytime and also whether you feed there in the week or weekend. Food Nix special. The usual dishes as in any restaurant. Prices are also within the framework. The portion sizes are sufficient, but only a small pot of rice is obtained, which can not be simply filled up, but only a new one is obtained for payment. There's a minus point for this, because it's real abscess. The menu includes soups, salads, fish, meat, desserts, the usual. Service Operation Naja, which leaves to be desired. On both occasions the service has brought the wrong food, after which not really communicating with us whether we want to wait for the ordered dish or keep the existing one. To this it took a very long time and we were just 10 people in the restaurant. So in the restaurant communication is not attributed a great value. Operation usually comes very unfriendly and bored over. Conclusion How good we have enough vouchers from the telephone book, where you can get the cheaper for free with 2 dishes (of course not for the buffet), because otherwise the restaurant would be one in spite of a beautiful atmosphere, which definitely falls under the standard category. Price-quality ratio is also okay, the dishes too, only the service could put a bit more in it. Those who want it uncomplicated are right there.
