Eleven forty nine for lunch buffet! Large variety. Comes with hibachi too. Friendly folks. Accommodating... as far as chinese buffets go, this is great. recommended.

Selection of sushi.

For some reason, we were driving toward Rehoboth talking about crabs and crabcakes, when we saw a billboard for the Chinese buffet. Hunger overtook us and . . . here we are. It's a good buffet. The sushi section is mostly vegetables and some with cream cheese, but there's plenty of wasabi and regular and low-salt soy sauce available. Decent sushi, really. In general, the entrees are what you would expect from Chinese buffet, although I will say the fried shrimp and fried chicken were quite good. They had a big pile of blue crabs - they didn't have any Old Bay or other seasoning and the crab itself didn't have much flavor. Sadly, it's the crab that should set this buffet (located in a beach community) apart from Chinese buffet elsewhere. But honestly the crabs just weren't very tasty. For dessert, there are a variety of cookies, cakes and small containers of ice cream that were frozen like blocks. I'm sounding negative, but it's Chinese buffet and it's decent. It's also $15.95 which is a good price for a decent Chinese buffet. I doubt I'll come back because I have decent Chinese buffet available to me in other places. The service was ok. I'd give them a 3.5 if I could, but I can't justify a 4. So, it's a 3.

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.

We went there on a Saturday night during the start of the offseason. It had been on our list to try…read morefor a while. We had the Ginger Bliss cocktail. Wow that was tasty. The sesame oil add a savory taste that really is surprising, interesting and lovely. We got the wok green beans. The pepper crisp and spices really complement the crispy snap of the beans. We also tried the scallion pancakes and edamame dumplings. Both were tasty. For the mains we got the Dan Dan noodles which were good. The soba noodles base was an interesting twist with more chew than the traditional egg noodles. What stole the show was the Singapore Black Pepper Crab. I haven't traditionally been much of a seafood eater. But this was transformative in my understanding of what crab can taste like. It's not for those who are hot food sensitive. It packs some heat but it is layered. It has the dry background for black pepper then the white pepper kicks in. Finally the fresh bird chilies on top bring that fresh tasting heat. With the snap and freshness of the sprouts. Wow it was amazing. Exactly what you want from Asian food. Salty, savory, a touch sweet, then the heat and umami. Will definitely crave this dish monthly. Our server was very good and attentive. She was outstanding. The restaurant is small but tastefully decorated and fun. It was lively the night we dined. Will definitely be back and often.

I want to start off by saying we used to LOVE THIS PLACE! Kitchen knows what they are doing- front…read moreof house- WOW Absolutely one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar. Lincoln, the bartender, was incredibly rude, dismissive, and completely uninterested in providing any type of customer service. There were six of us, with five seats at the bar and one person standing. If they preferred that we sit at a table, that is completely understandable--but there is a professional way to communicate that. Instead, Lincoln never greeted us, barely acknowledged us, and when one of my friends simply asked what he was making, he literally rolled his eyes at her. From the start, we were made to feel like we were a burden. Then, instead of simply helping us find a table or taking our drink orders, a manager(we think) came over and started talking about the fire exit. The way she addressed one of our friends was completely inappropriate and came across as blatant fat-shaming. There was absolutely no reason to make a customer feel embarrassed or singled out because of their body. If there was a safety concern, it could have been addressed respectfully and privately. Another friend attempted to order a drink, and the manager told her she couldn't serve it. Again, instead of Lincoln stepping in and saying something as simple as, "I'll be happy to get that for you once I'm caught up," he said absolutely nothing. No apology. No explanation. No attempt to provide service. So we sat at the bar, were treated like an inconvenience, received nothing, and eventually left. I have never experienced such a complete lack of hospitality. Being busy is not an excuse for being rude. Having a group of six is not an excuse to roll your eyes at customers. And a safety concern is certainly not an excuse to make someone feel ashamed of their body. We came in ready to spend money and enjoy ourselves, and instead we were made to feel so unwelcome that we walked out without ordering a single thing. Management seriously needs to address the way customers are being treated here. Lincoln's attitude was unacceptable, and the manager's handling of the situation was even worse.

We…read morevisited Confucius in Rehoboth Beach for the first time last night and it absolutely blew us away. I loved the Salt and Pepper Shrimp--the accompanying salad provided a beautiful, fresh bite that complemented the dish perfectly. The Peking Duck was superb; the skin had a flawless crunch and was served with thin tortillas and an excellent sauce. We also ordered the vegetable fried rice and bok choy sides, which were both incredibly fresh and delicious. My wife had the General Tso's chicken, which was equally superb. We each enjoyed a cocktail, and our check came out to $163. While some might think that is expensive for Chinese food, they don't truly understand what high-end, upscale Chinese cuisine is all about. The quality, execution, and flavors completely justify the price. We can't wait to go back to try the crispy Black Sea bass! And the service was impeccable.

Our server told both of us, as we ordered, that these were spicy dishes. And, they were marked that way on the menu. Unfortunately, in both cases, we felt the dishes were under seasoned. It's almost as if, in the past, their clientele complained about spicy food & they swung too far the other way. Confucius is not inexpensive and while the portions were good, I'm not sure we would return. It's too bad

This place is a ramen heaven, a pearl diamond located in Rohoboth Beach, Delaware! First, the…read morerestaurant's atmosphere is cozy and wonderfully decorated. It has the look and feeling that you are in Japan and not in a cheap, tourist way. The location is really neat, clean, and sanitary. Additionally, they went the next step as we were seated in a table with chairs but the chairs all had soft, pillow cushions, providing extra comfort while dining. I love that you can see the kitchen while they cook as the aromas of the delicious ramen are being prepared. If you see the bathroom there, do not be alarmed to see that their toilet has a bidet set-up. They also have toilet paper if you have never used a bidet before. Now to the best part, the food! There are two dishes I highly recommend: Bulgogi Ramen and the chicken Katsu with the bulgogi rice bowl a good follow-up. The ramen is delicious with the meat being tender, flavorful and the sweet bulgogi taste seeps into the broth, adding extra flavor. The noodles taste fresh and hand-made as well! The kimchi provides a nice counterbalance to the sweetness of the meat and broth. The bulgogi rice bowl is good too for you do not want ramen for the day. However, the chicken katsu is delicious!!!! The chicken is so crispy that you can hear the crunch sound as you bite into it. It is cooked to perfect, thin, and uniform throughout. The rice is piping hot, cooked to perfection, and a lot is provided. The cabbage provided is a nice, refreshing counterbalance to the richness of the katsu and rice. Lastly, get a boba tea drink. The flavors are delicious like the lychee and the boba is not chewy that you will have to bite and bite. One bite and it dissolves in your mouth and is in your stomach. Lastly, the service. Gabriel was phenomenal! He was attentive, gave great recommendations, and made my family and I feel welcomed like we were eating at his house. He was funny, interactive, and accommodating. Overall, great server. Kevin (the host ) was phenomenal as well. He was so humble to come by and serve us our food. He never left us unattended. Last but not least, John (the owner) is hands down one of the best owners of a restaurant I have seen. He is kind, funny, compassionate, and took his time to interact with and talk to all the patrons. He made you feel like family, asking my family and I our names and making great small talk. He was open to talking about himself and his inspiration about his restaurant even when the place was about to close. Owners who stay late near closing time on a Sunday evening, not many do that. Living in Virginia, I will miss this place. Their food is one of the best that I have had and I will be counting down the days I can come back to Rohoboth Beach to bathe in their ramen and chomp into the katsu once again!
