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.

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.

For 27.99, you can enjoy portioned out sashimi or hand rolls, bubble tea prepared as part of the buffet, snowcrab legs always overflowing along with oysters and clams. If that isn't your fancy, you can enjoy the hot pot items in the frig with selections like the fish balls, thin slices of frozen meats, or veggies simmering in the hot broth for your table side hot pot. The all you can eat buffet has its staples like fried rice and different meats like galbi and teriyaki meats, but if you are feeling adventurous, try the abalone and seafoods cook and raw. This stop in Dover right before the Ballys Casino is the easiest way for you to fill up before you enjoy some slots, explore the rest of Dover and end the day after checking out DE Pride over at Legislative Hall and Green.

Disgusting!!!! I…read moredon't usually eat at buffets, but my wife wanted to give this one a try. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The presentation of the food was poor, and the quality wasn't much better. There weren't many choices, although maybe that was because we went during lunch. What really bothered me was seeing a customer who didn't wash his hands, which was extremely concerning from a cleanliness standpoint. Overall, it was not worth a penny in my opinion. Keep driving--don't even slow down. You'd be better off going to McDonald's.

A staple as far as eating out when we visit OC but the Bonfire needs help as I've seen it diminish…read moreover the last 5-years. Overpriced at $50/pp the food quality has gone down & they no longer offer the King Crab Legs as part of the general menu (can order a la carte for addtl fees). They still do have a nice wide variety of food options & the staff is very involved. Clearly busy scurrying around the place. The "bearded meat guy"'At the carving station is a miserable fk who seems annoyed to do his job (not happy bud, then quit). Anyways, our family has enjoyed the Bonfire over the years (been coming to OC since 1985) but I fear this place may not make it into the future if they don't improve things.

This place is so gross. I read the reviews and some of the newer ones didn't seem so bad, and since…read moreeveryone wanted different things, an AYCE buffet seemed like the best option, so we went. As far as service goes, everyone was pleasant. I put several tiny portions on my plate to see what was good - fried shrimp/oysters, hush puppies, a roll, clams, mussels, slider, sausage, prime rib, 2 rib drums. All the fried stuff was too much breading - the oysters did not taste right - I suspect they were old, and the clam and mussels too. The slider was not good either and the roll was stale. They don't even bother to separate it from the box it likely came in. The meat options such as sausage, ribs, and prime rib were the best options I had, though we're not talking steak house level. So the desserts- the homemade peach cobbler was nasty. I only ate the coffee cake slice completely - even the ice cream wasn't right, maybe watered down? The one star is for the service, which was pleasant, and they seemed to clean up well after patrons left. Even with the cheaper options for kids and under 5 being free, it still ended up being extremely overpriced. In the end it was a total bust and we would never eat there again.

Very Disappointing -- Borgata Has Really Gone Downhill…read more I visited the Borgata buffet over Labor Day weekend with my family of four, and the total was close to $200. Unfortunately, for that price, I honestly felt that we would have been better off going to a regular restaurant with better tasting food. I hadn't been to the Borgata buffet in a very long time. I remember when it was around $30-$35 per person, and I had much better memories of the food. That's why it was especially disappointing to see how much it seems to have declined. There were a few highlights. The gelato was very good, and I will say the dessert section seems to have improved. The salmon was probably the standout savory dish. The platanos, waffles, pork ribs, and meatballs were also good. The General Tso's chicken was decent as well. Unfortunately, those positives were outweighed by the negatives. There wasn't even much of a fruit selection anymore, which was surprising for a buffet at this price point. The sushi rice wasn't prepared properly all mushy and the shrimp cocktail didn't taste particularly fresh. The seasoned shrimp was also far too salty. The seafood section was particularly disappointing. The clams were so salty that they were essentially inedible, and whoever seasoned the mussels simply did not get the seasoning right. These are not particularly complicated dishes, so it was surprising to see them executed so poorly. The fried foods were also hit or miss. Some batches looked cooked on the outside, but the shrimp inside were still undercooked and appeared almost raw. Some of the vegetables, such as the zucchini, were noticeably undercooked as well. The steak was very tough, while the prime rib was extremely bland and lacked flavor. The Chinese section, aside from the General Tso's chicken, was particularly disappointing. The pasta dishes, including the macaroni and cheese over cooked and tasteless w alfredo being was oddly sweet was extremely underwhelming. And honestly, this is what surprised me most about the entire experience. It's not as though the buffet has an enormous number of dishes that would make it impossible to maintain quality. The selection is relatively limited, and many of the individual dishes are not particularly difficult to prepare. Yet so many of them were either poorly seasoned, undercooked, overcooked, bland, or simply not executed well. When you have a smaller selection of dishes, you would expect those dishes to be done really well. Instead, it felt like there were only a handful of things that were actually worth eating. That is what made the experience so surprising and disappointing. Overall, a large majority of the food was simply not good enough to justify going to a buffet. At nearly $200 for four people, I expected significantly better quality and consistency. What made this experience even more disappointing is that this was my parents' first time staying at the Borgata. Unfortunately, the food experience was poor enough that it actually made them less interested in wanting to stay at the hotel again. When you're spending money on a casino resort, the dining experience is part of the overall experience--and a bad meal can definitely affect whether you want to return. Borgata used to be one of my favorite places to go in Atlantic City, so I really wanted to like it. But after this visit, I'm not sure I would choose it over newer properties like Hard Rock or Ocean Casino Resort. Those properties may be newer, but at this point, I think I'd rather spend my money there than return to this buffet. Overall: very disappointing, especially considering the price and what I remember Borgata being like in the past.
