I also thought the name ‘Running Wok’ was clever for their buffet. I would not normally be looking for Chinese food in Europe but I had been in rural Yugoslavia for several weeks and had been unable to get rice, so I was looking to some Asian food. The hotel desk told me that this was the best Chinese restaurant in Munich, so off I went.

This would be a good value Chinese restaurant for those times when hunger strikes really hard. The ‘all-you-can-eat’ buffet costs €8.80 for lunch and €14.80 for dinner. There is also an extensive a la carte menu if that has more appeal. Soup is around €2.5 and main meals €11.00. They also have set meals for 2, 3, 4 and 5 people with up to 9 dishes served at the table. The take-out section (China Express) has dishes from €6.50.

When I arrived I was pleased to see that there were quite a few Asian people eating there, which I took to be a good sign. The place is big, but it filled up quite quickly after 7pm. With drink in hand and an English menu in the other, it was looking good. I decided on the buffet. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. I thought the food was just ok - not horrible but nothing extraordinary. The sushi was edible and so were the duck and the pork. The buffet items tended to be a bit greasy and bland, not what I was expecting. Casting my eyes around to see what other people were eating, I realized that I had made a mistake in having the buffet rather than something specially cooked for me.

If this is the best Chinese restaurant in Munich then the standard is not very high. It is nothing like the top Chinese restaurants in Asia, Australia or the USA. Perhaps if I had not been told it was the best, my expectations would have been lower and I may have accepted it for what is was.

After saying all that, it was not a total disaster. I got my rice and had a change from the heavy, stodgy food that I had been eating for the past few weeks. I would not go back for the evening buffet but probably would go back for lunch especially if I was with kids. Close
