Goldene Pekingente — Restaurant in Samtgemeinde Nenndorf

German Adaptation vs. Authentic Flavor Peking A, unfortunately, embodies the difficulties of finding authentic, unadapted Asian cuisine in Germany. As someone who has dined at Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants across Germany and compared them to the robust flavors found in the Netherlands (and, ideally, in Asia itself), I found this experience disappointing, feeling as though the dishes were overly adapted to a simplified German palate. The main issue is the distinct lack of complexity and seasoning. While the reduced use of salt or MSG (Ve-tsin) is perhaps a healthy choice, it leaves the dishes tasting frustratingly bland—good, perhaps, but not tasty. The vibrant, integrated flavors you’d expect from dishes like Babi Pangang, Tjap Tjoy, or Foe Yong Hai found in the Netherlands are simply missing here. I ordered a standard dish, and the experience was baffling. I received an extremely deconstructed plate: the main component was a large portion of very dry, baked meat served with the sauce separately. This sauce, which tasted distinctly of orange peel, was thin and did little to liven up the main ingredient. The small, segregated portions of the side dishes were equally perplexing: • I received a bowl of rice generous enough to "drown" in sauce (if there had been enough sauce to do so). • The "vegetables" consisted of perhaps two spoonfuls. • The overall presentation felt like a set of independent ingredients rather than an integrated, flavorful dish. While the quantity of the main meat portion and the rice bowl was generous, the overall quality and flavor profile left me questioning, "What the hell is this?" It was nowhere near the satisfying, complex, and harmonious meals I'm used to—where ingredients are beautifully mixed, and you can simply push aside a vegetable you don't like while enjoying the rest. I understand that Chinese cuisine often involves preparing and sharing multiple dishes, making cooking for one person a significant undertaking. However, the fact that Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands consistently manage to deliver these rich, well-balanced, and generously sauced dishes proves that it is possible to successfully adapt authentic flavors for a European setting without completely sacrificing taste. Peking A offers large portions, but the food is bland, dry, and fundamentally restructured in a way that eliminates the joy of classic Asian dining. If you are looking for the rich, complex, and satisfying flavors of Dutch-Chinese cuisine, you will be deeply...

Das war Garnichts, nie wieder! Haben nach langer Unterbrechung mal wieder das Mittagsbuffet ausprobiert und mussten einvernehmlich feststellen, dass sich die schon damals nicht so gute Essensqualität leider immer noch nicht verbessert hat. Das Mittagsbuffet war lieblos, nicht fürs Auge zubereitet und die Speisen waren alle (einschließlich der Suppe) ohne Geschmack. Das einzige positive war der Preis von 8.-€. Wer das Essen nur zum herunter schlingen haben möchte, um satt zu werden, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Wer aber die chinesische Küche liebt, der sollte lieber wo anders hingehen und evtl. etwas mehr ausgeben. Eine alternative in Bad Nenndorf ist z. B. das Restaurant „China City“. Dort gibt es zwar kein Mittagsbuffet, dafür gibt es aber gute und auch preiswerte chinesische Mittagsgerichte. Alle Speisen werden trotz der günstigen Preise (ca. 6 - 8 € mit Vorspeise), in ausreichender Menge schmackhaft serviert. Allein die traditionelle chinesische Gemüsesuppe (sauer-scharf) ist ein Unterschied zu der Suppe in der Goldenen Peking Ente wie „Tag und Nacht“. Einvernehmlich konnten wir feststellen, dass es eine Fehlentscheidung war, das Mittagsbuffet in der „Goldenen Peking Ente“ auszuprobieren. Nur gut, dass es noch weitere viel bessere chinesische Restaurants in Bad Nenndorf und Umgebung gibt.

Die Goldene Peking Ente war nicht golden, sondern nur enttäuschend, enttäuschend und nochmals...

we were in this restaurant on 24.12 for lunch, so there were very few people. We were quickly served, Warm dishes and hot tea warmed us up immediately. I can't say that the dishes were special, but everything was delicious. #80 was fried rice with chicken and vegetables. #81 was boiled rice with seafood, sweetish taste. Loved soup #7. Clean bathroom. For two adults and a child, we paid €45.10. It is not convenient that you can not pay by card, but...
