Chinatown Buffet & Grill

I would like recommend this place for who are in break or vacation to Rehabooth. The decoration pound with live fishes is pretty cool. They have plenty of varieties in their buffet, especially sea food! Seafood was awesome and at their best, have to visit atleast couple or more times to taste all the items available in their buffet menu! Awesome place for lunch and relax when tired with shopping!

Terrible better off ordering 6 items from take out, than eating here at this Buffett. No good options, food was lukewarm overpriced for what they had.

Here’s where I wish I could add a half star… The décor, with the koi pond in front, is really pretty. It’s a large restaurant that doesn’t feel as big due to the design of the seating area.
We got there late– 8:45, and were worried the food would be old and picked over. Far from it; everything was fresh and new and clean.
The hibachi chef is the half star deduction. Best described as… Poker faced or stoic, he gave no reaction whatsoever when I greeted him, and later asked him to add garlic to the mix. He’s not angry, not mean, not stern. He’s just… Not. Just a hint of a smile would be nice to see. As it was, it was a little jarring.
There’s a sushi bar in the back, and also a hibachi grill;
Overall. the quality and the variety warrant a visit.

Went here after a day at the outlets! We needed a quick place to eat and this filled the bill!
The atmosphere is old school Asian Restaurant with a Koi Pond in the foyer. Reminds me of the places my parents took me to in the 60’s. Our experience included an eclectic clientele in the dining room but overall, what we would expect from such a venue.
The staff was friendly and while the cleanliness could have been better, it again, is what one would expect at a average buffet. Our plates were cleared in less time than it took to go up to get more food.
The food was a mixed bag. The «stick chicken» as they call it, was pretty good, as were the wings, both fried and Buffalo style. The salmon was delicious. They actually had Peking Duck on the menu which was actually not too bad! The skin was crispy but the portions were so small, it was hard to get a solid piece of food. There were to rib pieces on the buffet when I first went up which were too burnt to eat and they remained for the balance of our meal and were not replaced with fresh, so no information on the ribs! They had a lobster offering which was lobster claw pieces mixed with a white fish of some sort. The lobster itself was almost impossible to extract from the shell pieces they had available.
The rest of the food wasn’t bad. A lot of offerings with nothing standing out, either way. My wife didn’t care for the food however but for me, I felt it was a decent choice.
Overall, I would go again as it’s a decent value and a neat restaurant. While it will never be Zagat Rated, it’s a fair choice for dinner!

The common buffet items are always good. I love the salmon. It’s great you can get a Styrofoam container fill it with whatever you want, they weigh it out 6.99 a pound I think. they even have a hibatchi grill for raw/​fresh foods to be cooked for you on demand.

Some of the reviews for this restaurant had me hesitating about going. I am glad I did not listen to them!!! This place is so good. My husband took me and we were so filled when we left we were joking about walking the 10 miles back to our hotel!!! U have to taste for yourself how delicious and hit the food is. The staff are very friendly too. Don’t wait go now!

Ok so this is the second time I come here and it became your typical China buffet. Granted I came during dinner time but it should not deviate from the quality.

This is a great place for casual Chinese food. All fresh… sushi is wonderful. the fish and chicken selections were seasoned wonderfully and the vegetables. mushrooms and the greenest string beans I ever saw… were delectable. A great meal at a decent price. The staff is very accommodating. Eat up.

Big buffet with a lot of different food. I hoped for more Asian food, but there are more types than that. Fried stuff, vegetables, fruits, noodles. Decent food, nothing fancy but quite cheap and really enough for a good meal.
Would come back if in the area and hungry. Depends what you like and want, the desserts were quite good.

Every time we come here, it’s one disappointment after another. It’s 3:30 pm. Time for dinner — NOT.
But good old Chinatown Buffet is now charging dinner prices, $ 16 each. Even for our 12-​year old.
Plus extra for drinks. Plus extra for tips. And the food isn’t even that good. Just. Can’t. Do. It. Again.

Been to a lot of Chinese buffets and this one is the best by far. The food is always fresh and there’s a ton of varieties. sushi and fresh from the grill As well. Staff is quick to get drinks and to take away dirty plates. prices are 9 bucks before 3.

I love this place! My parents live 6 miles from here and whenever I visit I make it a point to come here for dinner. They have seriously 10 different types of chicken. But my favourites have to be the coconut shrimp and they have this amazing dessert dish with vanilla pudding bananas vanilla wafers. The wait staff is friendly and the manager came over to make sure that we were happy.

A standard Chinese buffet. Lots of food in lots of warming trays. They keep it mostly fresh. A little to many shellfish options. The beef tasted very tough. More veggies would be nice. There is a «Mongolian» area where you choose your ingredients and they cook it. The only sauces were soy or a mediocre teriyaki. The beef choice was very fatty. There are several desserts none of which are any good. The best dessert is the little ice cream cups.
The décor is nice. The front of the restaurant has a nice water feature with lots of koi.

I’m not a seafood person, maybe that is ok here. Food was ok, but not a big selection. Staff was too chatty, not very helpful. Best cheese wontons ever though!

This is an awesome chinese buffet and seafood restaurant! I have been to many, and was not disappointed. It’s probably the best value restaurant in all of the Rehoboth Beach area if you are very hungry. We came on a Saturday evening in the summer and the restaurant was 75% full. There was no wait at all for a table and service was very quick.
COME FOR THE SEAFOOD
The steamed blue crabs were hot and fresh, and came out fairly quickly. This alone makes the $ 15.99 price tag worth it! They have extra Old Bay seasoning available if you want extra spice. The raw oysters were fresh, I could see the guy shucking them behind the counter. Sushi was fresh, there was one chef who’s only job seemed to be making sushi as fast as he could. The hibachi/​mongolian grill thing had plenty of options, I got a mix of veggies and steak — the steak was extremely tender.
Of course they also have your standard mix of Chinese/​American food you find at Chinese buffets.

I am usually a fan of most Chinese buffets but this was my first time coming to this place AND my last! During lunch, we could see the wait staff prepping food items at a side table in the dining area then going over to clear tables of trash and empty plates. No hand washing, no gloves and right back to working on that «prep table». The food temps were way off and I had to pick and choose items on my plate that I could eat.
The trash cans were overflowing and the booth that we were sat at was near the kitchen/​dish room area. Booth and table area was also not cleaned very well either.
Not a very pleasant dining experience at all.
Noticed that this place is on a list as one of the restaurants cited by the health department for violations. You can find the article on the
website and it was printed in December 2014. One of the TOP violators in Delaware restaurants!!!
Needless to say, we will not be coming back to this place. If you think this place has GREAT sushi, you have never actually had real sushi.
Here’s a tip… don’t eat here!

Its an ok place.
The first buffet row has your traditional Chinese which all of which was very good, alright thought me. Onto the second row– less chinese food more breaded and fried and funky town stuff. Eh ok oh some sushi! When it comes to sushi and buffets I never ever learn! There is never any good sushi at a buffet place and it was the same here, the sushi was very not fresh tasted very funky and not at all like sushi.
Advice– stick to the soups and first buffet row, skip the rest.

Pleasantly surprised at food quality and selection. Husband and I were shopping late at the outlets on Black Friday and wanted to grab something quick to eat.
It has your usual Chinese Buffett selections — chicken 100 ways, cocktail shrimp, some sushi, salad bar and desert. A good addition with local flavor were blue crabs — not as well seasoned as seafood restaurants, but still a pleasant surprise for $ 16 a person. Would eat there again under similar circumstances.

The only chinese buffets in the Rehoboth and even Ocean City, they do a good job at it. Huge selection of traditional Chinese fare and American classics.
We were here on a Sunday afternoon around noon-​thirty and this place was packing it in. People by the van load were piling in and eating their share, even a birthday party. For $ 8.95 (excluding drink) you can’t beat it.

The décor is very nice… oriental beams, pagoda roof, nice setting overall. The food is OK, some items better than others.
I tried the Hot and Sour soup and it was not to my liking. The pork dumplings were cold and bland. The vegetarian fried rice was good, not too oily. The steam rice was gooey and sticky, not a good quality rice. I liked their boneless pork rib, their pepper steak and peanut chicken. The fruit was not very good nor sweet either.
Hope they can keep an eye on the serving temperature of the food, some items were not warm/​hot at all.
