    General buffey

    I'm totally impressed! Just loved it! You enter, and there is a mini pagoda with a board of prices and specials, seated very quickly. We were lucky to be there on the lunchtime buffet. At a certain time, they bring out dinner dishes and label them "dinner only", it works. Mon and Tuesday they give Sr discounts, otherwise, no discounts. It is a typical Chinese/American buffet with very good food, fresh and hot. Loads of steam billowing out from around the pans of food. This is a good visual sign the food is as it should be. Huge selection, but what stole the show for me was the Stir Fried Potatoes, not very Chinese, you know, crispy and flavorful and tender on the inside. I could not leave them alone, and neither could the other customers. They empty out fast.. 4 different soups are included...wonton, egg drop, beef, and something else. They have green onions chopped and crisps. I recommend the Wonton soup. We did not eat dinner, which included roast beef, fancier fish, and crabs (female, sm-med) without much seasoning. Other customers ordered hot tea, and it comes in a decor complementing pot. $1.50. I fell for it as a tea drinker. The pot sells you, very Asian looking, and it captured me. The tea was very weak, I was disappointed but not enough to effect the review. They do have an included Hibachi and sushi bar, many desserts, and ice cream cups in a chest freezer with clear sliding doors. My husband's favorite dessert was the cream puffs, drizzled with chocolate. You dont see them everyday.Service was great, with plenty of hussle and teamwork. OMG, of course we'll be back. Reasonable prices, free parking.

    I had found this place to see what was around the area and on my way to the beach, we saw a billboard sign miles before we had arrived and knew I wanted to check this place out before we left the area. the variety of options were there; soups, chicken, salad bar, and even seafood. you definitely can get a good deal during lunch time, but not worth it after. the quality of food was low tier and felt like it was sitting out for a while. I enjoyed their coconut shrimp and chicken broccoli at most. however, this buffet did the job to satisfy my hunger.

    Hibachi......supposedly!!!

    The service was good but the food was bland, not pleasant to the eye and borderline nasty. Plus there was no yum yum sauce for the greasy hibachi.... Stay away!

    Back in the corner!

    Better than most Chinese buffets. The people are nicer, the food is pretty much the usual selection, but seems to be slightly tastier. They have the usual non-Chinese dishes, like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy, and pizza. What really shines here is the baked tilapia, the shrimp with the shell on, and the string beans, but my favorite is the hibachi grill, which is in the back of the restaurant. The advantage of the hibachi Grill is that you completely control what goes in your dish, and a nice worker grills it for you; And you can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you want because of that. The thing that the hibachi grill lacks that I couldn't find is a bowl of chopped garlic. (Edit- they've got it but you have to ask for it!) I like to put a fair amount of garlic into my hibachi grill... But I feel like I didn't go that far off my diet eating here today, partially because I stopped before I got a third plate, but mostly because I controlled what I ate here. And eating fish and string beans and chicken and onions and broccoli in the hibachi grill. Makes me feel pretty good about myself. I mentioned earlier how nice the interior is.. This place has been here for probably at least 10 years, and the interior looks almost like new. They keep it very clean and very nice, but when they built the restaurant, they put a little extra money into it, and it just looks great. It really does. Add to that effect of the staff is always nice and never let my drink get low, and it's just an impressive place. Better than you would expect.

    The food had a good variety, but the quality was not great. It was just OK. The service was not good and in the past has even been worse.

    Have a large selection of food. We went for lunch, but the dinner selection of food looked delicious. Good bang for your buck.

    Too bad we can't eat the atmosphere in Bodhi Kitchen, Rehoboth Beach. It is the best part of the…read moreexperience. Thereafter, the food on the "Asian Fusion" menu sounds great, but leaves much to be desired. More confusion, than fusion. Dumpling Special is a cool notion (why not save a few bucks?). But, when it arrives without ginseng slivers, nor a spoon for dripping the dark vinegar into the removed top knot to mix with the beef soup within the Xiao Long Bau, it becomes apparent skill is lacking in the kitchen. It doesn't help that these dough pouches are commercially bought and not made by knowing hands. The Singapore Black Pepper Crab bowl was sure Szechuan spicy enough, but had so little crab that my crustacean loving wife turned on her phone flashlight to find some. They were ground so small that they were nearly invisible, but could be slightly tasted by their mild sweetness. Just not enough substance to balance the other ingredients. My Cumin Lamb Ho Fun was likewise deep into the heat and looked good with the fat noodles mixed throughout. However, once again the kitchen's lack of deftness appeared with too many tough, stringy and fatty pieces of lamb that were unpleasant and overbore the generally decent quality of the rest of the dish. From my experience, that only happens when attention isn't paid to the texture of the meat when slicing. Cutting lamb against the grain is a no-no. So, even though I enjoyed the Moon Door entrance, the Bodhi (Enlightenment) name and all the on point Asian decor, it was disappointing that all that spirituality stopped at the kitchen door. 2.5 Shakyamuni-less Stars.

    "Can you show me the shine of your Japan? The sparkle of…read moreyour China, can you show me? Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva" (Steely Dan) Bodhi Kitchen is an absolutely beautiful Asian restaurant in downtown Rehoboth Beach where you'll find their menu dotted with delicacies from Thailand, Korea, China, Vietnam and Japan. When you walk in, the bar is right in front of you, and the two-level dining room is to your right. We sat in the upper level and the thing that struck me immediately was how pretty the room was. There were two kinds of hanging lantern-style lights, and some of them had flickering gold bulbs that resembled candlelight. It was a beautiful effect. The menu is a real tour-de-force with dishes like Peking Duck Tacos, Shaoxing Braised Duck Laab, Pork Belly Steam Bun, Braised Cumin Lamb Ho Fun, and Singapore Black Pepper Crab. In addition to all that, they have nightly specials like a "Curry Night", "Asian Street Food Night", or "Dim Sum Night" among others. We happened to visit on Dim Sum Night, so that's where we went on the menu. We ordered two of their Dim Sum specials - six Pork Soup Dumplings ($13) with ground pork, ginger, scallion, rice wine and pork broth, and a Dumpling Sampler ($17) with two each of Pork Belly and Kim Chi dumplings, Shiitake and Chinese Sausage Dumplings, and Szechuan Chicken Dumplings. I had the sampler and thought it was very good. The three varieties all delivered plenty of flavor, and the pork belly and Szechuan chicken dumplings also came through with their advertised heat from peppercorns, five spice and chili oil. Our server Paula was friendly and professional. All in all, Bodhi scored high in ambience, food, and service.
