This was recommended as "the best" chinese restaurant in town. I wasn't expecting much...and didn't…read moreget much.
First of all, the food. Unfortunately, as many asian restaurants here, there is an unlimited buffet. It's good for money saving, but it's just not good food...no matter how recently it was prepared, it always lays here for a while. I took the buffet anyway, and wasn't blown away. Good, nothing more.
The restaurant pretends to offer "Chinese and Mongolian" food. I didn't look for Mongolian dishes (I am sure there are some), but I clearly saw a large selection of sushis. I am not an asian food expert, but I am pretty sure sushis aren't from Mongolia...All in all, as all restaurants in Regensburg, this restaurant is NOT a Chinese or Mongolian restaurant. It is an "AsiaMix" restaurant, for everyday people who don't care as long as the personnel seems to vaguely come from the other side of the world.
The place is huge, and, I must say, pretty well decorated. Such a large area could have looked like a canteen, but they did a pretty good job. It is not luxurious, but it looks good.
They also have a large terrace for the summer days (both the restaurant and the terrace are on the 1st floor).
Unfortunately, once again, the humongous buffet area lies in the middle. That's not nice.
Experience.
We went on a very crowded evening, I am fine with that (it's a good sign). But overall, because - again - of the buffet, this was a pretty bad experience. People running all over the place, queuing or moving to and from the food stands.
The personnel was careless at best, stressed (and stressful) for the most part. Sub-standard, even for an Asian restaurant. I am willing to believe they do a better job when the restaurant is quieter though.
This is just another undetermined vaguely Asian restaurant in Regensburg. It's nothing more, nothing less. Why the 2 stars? Because the food was ok. There is nothing much better around, so sadly, I may visit again.
