    I don’t really understand the 5 star reviews… the noodles with the ground meat sauce were too salty, and they didn’t even bring any napkins, which should be a given, a.k.a. Selbstverständlich. The best part of the meal were Xiao Long Bao - just come here for the dumplings, seriously, because the rest isn’t worth your money. Also, you can only pay with either an EC card or cash.

    My husband and I have been here twice. We love the Hausgemachte Bandnudeln. The taste is great and the portions are gut. We also had vegetarian steamed buns and Shiu Mai. They don't accept credit cards, just EC-Karte and cash. Restaurant is often full but is worth the waiting. Clean place and super friendly staff. Great addition to Bochum.

    FOOD & DRINKS This location is fairly new and offers a selection of traditional Chinese items. I had the Rou Jia Mo which is often described as the Chinese burger. I rather like to compare it to a Turkish Döner because it is meat between a flat bread. The variation they offer here is quite unusual. It comes with bell pepper and a piece of lettuce. I am more used to onions and/or chives. The bread was very crispy and not oily and comes with either beef or pork. The beef was tender but was overwhelmed by the taste of soy which is a shame. The beef should be the star by simmering in its own beef juice. Also I believe I did a mistake by ordering the Rou Jia Mo without the bell peppers because those would at least give some sweetness it desperately needed for a more balanced flavor profile. I still think that onions would make a way better companion. I also ordered half a dozen Sheng Jian Bao with shrimp and pork filling. The filling was nice and juicy and had actual pieces of shrimp. The seasoning was more balanced and the bao wasn't too doughy but the bottom of the bao wasn't crispy at all. The chef only fried it slightly which made the item missing one key texture. I didn't order the Xiao Long Bao but I have seen them on a few other tables and they were served steaming hot and looked pretty yummy. SERVICE The girls who work there were a bit shy but still nice and friendly. I wish they would smile a bit more though. ATMOSPHERE This place is fairly small but clean, fresh and modern. There are two communal tables and some more tables outside. It really attracts a lot of younger customers. RATING To be honest I was on the fence to give this place a four star rating but I decided to go with three stars instead. The items they serve are good but not worth four stars. They are still young and hopefully do improve over time. For now I can recommend to try them out.

    This is the best place to grab a bite in Bochum. And believe me, I am not overstating anything. Just come here and order the Nudels or the Genki chicken burger and transform your idea about food in general. Bonus points for the kind staff, amazing cheffs and the always clean place with great atmosphere! 10/10 no doubt! 🙏

    Food was ok but nothing spectacular, i would even say kind of tasteless. Soya sauce was without taste at all! No toilet, poor drinks choice. Not friendly stuff

    The food is great and authentic Chinese. They only offer noodles, dumplings, and "burgers" (don't think Western hamburger), but they do those well. The only drawback is that the place is very small and doesn't take reservations, so you cannot plan on having dinner there.

  • 1/5 Right Said F. 9 months ago on Google • 110 reviews
    I am really not sure why they have such good rating. The service didn’t speak a word German or English only Chinese. The worst part was the food the pork dumplings were definitely gone bad. There was a strange funk to it after a bite, I still ate it. It took me couple of days until my stomach returned to normal. Horrible experience.

    Hands down one of my favorite food places in Bochum. The food is always good and fresh and everybody finds something to eat. The staff is usually very accommodating as well.

    I only discovered this little gem recently, yet Genki Bao & Burger is already my favorite place to get food in Bochum. Every item on the menu is absolutely delicious, and the service very quick and efficient. Incredible!

    This is the place to go for Chinese food. My chinese girlfriend actually approved this store to be authentic Chinese food. We both enjoy going there. The only thing that could be better is if the Huns were a bit more crikey at the bottom. We still enjoy going there every once in a while for some amazing food :)

😐 In my opinion, this place is pretty overhyped. They're open late, though, and yes - if you're wandering around the bermuda3eck at 3am, probably in a pretty buzzed state, you will probably find a very satisfying meal there. But during normal hours, eh, don't fall for all the marketing, you can find w...
