Bambus Garten - Ratingen

Typical Chinese architecture, atmosphere - all staff are Chinese - and cuisine. Very wide range of foods, very tasty!

Here's a short review of my dining experience at Bambus Garten near DUS Airport: The service was adequate although a bit slow. I ordered a beer and opted for the Buffet. Most of the trays were borderline empty, and so I figured they would bring out more food....but they didn't. None of the food was hot, and most of the choices (with the exception of fish) were of the fried variety (i.e. small Spring Rolls, Chicken Nuggets, etc.). This was actually the first Chinese Buffet I ever went to which didn't feature any Rice or Soup. No RICE??? Anyway, I had a couple of small Spring Rolls, Sweet & Sour Chicken and something which looked like Beef but made me dry-heave. There are quite a few good reviews of this place, so perhaps it can be very good at times...but my experience was not good and certainly doesn't warrant a repeat visit. On a positive note, I will say that the interior is quite unique and charming, as huge trees run through the structure of the restaurant. 2 points for that!

... in the vicinity of Dusseldorf International Airport, formerly well known Restaurant TREIBHAUS. Because of got to go there rumours I went there twice, early last week and on Easter Sunday, and in broad terms wasn't disappointed, except .... During the week they offered a nice over-average Chinese Buffet at budget prices, reason for the walking distance *working class* flocking-in for lunch, This was said to be beefed-up at weekends, reason for booking *a table for two* for Easter Sunday. But this idea had apparently all the other guests usually also coming during the week as well, resulting in the parking lot and space around being overcrowded Sorry Bambus Garten, this was the reason for not showing-up in the restaurant for your second shift on Easter Sunday and honoring my reservation.

Should you fly from/to Dusseldorf and need a restaurant nearby, this is the place to be. A large choice of meat, fish to be grilled and many prepared dished you can choose from at the buffet. All you can eat in an old greenhouse with a huge living tree inside for under €14 pp (excl. drinks).

The food was very nice and tasty but the service was rude. The meals were rich exept of the sweets as they had no variety. The place is pretty nice for October.
