I have never been so disappointed with a restaurant experience in my life! We went with our family which is large. We were asked multiple times the ages of our grandchildren. After the last time we were asked one of the staff was hiding behind us listening to our private conversation. It was ridiculous. We asked before ever being seated for separate checks, told to wait until seated where I proceeded to tell the staff member seating us that we would need separate checks, she replied rudely multiple times that I was to wait until after the drinks were served. We were given our checks in the middle of eating which I was on my first plate of food. Then asked if we were ready to pay. Never felt so rudely rushed out of an establishment where just one of our checks was over $135. Our checks were messed up with drinks on checks they didnt belong on, and they apparently add a gratuity of 15% which they in no way deserved. The worst was when my husband was explaining our checks were messed up & he mentioned something about the added gratuity and was told she deserved 5 more dollars. This place is over priced, rude, & we will never visit again.

The food was okay, nothing particularly memorable. Cleanliness leaves much to be desired. Many of the near dishes tended towards overcooked, especially the seafood, which was disappointing. A large amount of fried items. Seasoning in dishes was hit or miss, some seemed to have little flavor while others seemed concentrated. The sushi items were again okay; about what I have come to expect from a decent grocery store. Dessert items all appeared pre-made and felt oily, for lack of a better description. Expect sticky handles on all the buffet items and some dishes that didnt quite get clean in the racks. One thing I cannot skip comment on was the bathroom condition. Mens bathroom desperately needed cleaning and no towels were left. If youre looking for a Chinese buffet, options are limited in the area, but it shouldnt give it a free pass. I dont think it would survive well in a more competitive area. In the end, a weak not recommended in my book.

HORRIBLE AND RUDE SERVICE NEVER EAT HERE!!! the server was so rude and she didnt speak to us and stared at us from another table the entire time we ate. then we were charged twice and was told we had to wait two days for the money to be returned on the account. two days later we went up to the restaurant to complain that we still didnt receive our money and it was only after almost 30 minutes of back and forth did he return only half of the money they overcharged us. at the same time we went in to complain, a male employee walks in the bathroom to clean it....me and my 3 girls were using it...no knocking no excuse me....just staring at us until we finished. I have 3 little girls I was so uncomfortable we didnt stay to wash our hands ....NEVER EAT HERE!!#!

Well, our friend Tim was getting older; so, we took him out for a movie and dinner. "Lucy" was the movie, and not too bad either; Chinatown Buffet & Grill was the eatery of choice. Now, I must say, this is a very busy family "all you can eat" restaurant. We had a short 10-15 minute wait (it was still early, and families abound); once seated, and drinks served we ventured to the buffet. There was a huge offering; fresh seafood (shrimp & oysters), typical Chinese cuisine, fresh fruit, fresh salad, and a range of desserts. The biggest problem? Remembering not to over eat; we all left there with overfull bellies!!! The food was good, tasty and filling (Dianes comment; beware the seafood filler offered as seafood salad)

The only reason I gave one star was because I had to in order to write a review. Couldnt even eat because the service was so terrible. Came here with a group of friends and wasnt sure if I was going to eat. I sat down at the table and while my friends grabbed food I stayed at the table. The server came over and asked if I was going to eat when I said I dont know she rolled her eyes. Two minutes later when my friends came back she asked if I was eating and I said I still hadnt decided. She said "ughhhh" and rolled her eyes she then came back and took my silverware from the table so I said "no I am not eating". She was incrediably rude and continued to be to my entire table. Thank god I didnt wasted money there.

The most Pleasant thing about this experience was leaving. At first glance the food appeared steaming hot fresh and ready to eat. However very few things were edible. The seafood dishes that were prepared tasted overly fishy and were hard and rubbery. The calamari was totally inedible. The rice was dry and surprisingly crunchy. At first glance the sushi bar look appealing also. However while taking a piece, I noticed the chef behind the counter taking something off of his hand and then kneeling down to the floor and repeating the motion. At that point I decided not to get any more sushi. Perhaps this was an off day for the great china Buffet. However I feel like this is something of the norm. Foodies beware!

I arrived at 9:21 one evening. I knew they closed at 10 pm, but an employee rushed upfront to tell me they were closed. I watched the group of employees inside laugh as he said so. Look, I work in customer service and I get being tired. But I would never in a million years behave the way these people did. I crossed the street to Burger King, where the employee acted with respect and good humor. Because of what happened this evening, I will never go there again. Ive brought my children several times in the past, but I am a big believer in rewarding hard work. And the humiliation they put forth tonight does not deserve any reward.

Been here before and have had good food. However I was extremely dissatisfied with the taste and the fact that the food was cold. My fiancé and I didnt finish eating and let the manager know. Her response was that we should scoop from the bottom, then the waitress stood there waiting for us to pay $35 for food that frankly was making us feel sick. I will be reporting them to the health department, steam trays must keep food warm at a certain temperature all the way through, not just the bottom. I am hoping I have not gotten food poisoning from this place and will be telling everyone I come in contact with not to eat here.

Just let you know, the food was good,service was good. But, we went in with a group of seven,were seated at a table, with split checks between 3 of us. We get our checks and a gratuity is added on. I really dont think this was fair, we shared a table, not a bill. We were doing you a favor by sharing a table,you only had to clean one big table,instead of 3 small ones. So next time, we will come in and be seated at 3 separate tables. That is if we co.e back, this has upset me very much. This is very unfair. Also the price you offer is very high, not so reasonable.

The best meal I have had here at Rehobeth beach. Atmosphere was very good, pagoda decor, coy fish and water feature. Food was of high qaulity. I had blue crab, steamed shrimp, sushi, teriyaki steak. Family was all in a good mood after our dining experience. Wait staff was friendly and quick. I reccomend this resteraunt for asian cuisine and seafood. Price was more than fair and kids were half price. A nice change after all the so so expensive meals we have been having at other resteraunts here at the beach.
