Waiting times

Buzu SandraFebruary 2026 · via Google

The portions are very small and extremely poorly cooked. I have ordered the mushroom and chicken breast soup several times. It was basically just water, with a few mushrooms floating on top and some long strips of chicken breast. No greens, no seasoning, no flavor – absolutely nothing that would make it a proper soup.

I also ordered two portions of chicken noodles. Again, just some tasteless noodles – honestly terrible – and poorly prepared chicken. The food is definitely not worth the money.

Even though the restaurant is only 2 km away, I waited almost two hours for the delivery. The packages arrived wet. The whole experience was very disappointing. I absolutely do not recommend it.

The staff ignored me when I went in there to order some food. I said hello several times but they continued to chatter in a language that sounded like Chinese. They turned, looked at me and continued with what they were doing.
I am not white or Asian and found their behavior very racist.
I am never going back!

Put through an order online at 11:15 paid over 30e and then about 5 minutes later they cancelled the order. Had to wait until the following day to ring them and was told it would be between 3 to 5 days to get them money back. Whoever answered the phone was in no way apologetic made it seem like it was my fault. Won't be ordering again
