Chinabloom — Restaurant in Bodrum

Finally, a quality Asian dining venue on the Aegean sea in Turkey, Chinabloom in Bodrum, is well worth hunting out. It was incredible; we loved it so much we dined here twice.

Chinabloom is located right at the end of the eating street in the centre of Bodrum, directly opposite the Bodrum marina and yacht club.

Stay strong and bypass all the other restaurant owners trying to talk you into their place (always a bad sign and something that we find annoying, to be honest).

The service is fabulous and very attentive, without being too pushy. The team learned all about our five-month journey around Turkey, especially our extended stays in Asia, with plenty of laughs and smiles.

The menu is Chinese, Japanese and Thai, with an excellent selection of all three cuisines. Where do we begin? The Peking duck is outstanding, not like the typical Hong Kong heart inducing fatty duck; instead, the skin is cooked to perfection, with the fat removed to see the tender meat. While the menu is very extensive, the quality was exceptional, with the chef showing his light touch to all the dishes we sampled. We ate here twice and honestly wished we had more time to sample more of the menu. Every dish was presented to delight your eyes, while the flavours and freshness of the ingredients ensured we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Please don't skip the Japanese beef gyoza; they were delicious!

The wine list was extensive, and we paired our meal with a French Sancerre, which held up well against all the flavours of the food. The mixologist comes in at 3 pm, allowing you to explore some unique cocktails made with passion.

This restaurant oozes style with a sophisticated and stylish decor that matches the food quality, surrounded by mosaic artwork with portraits of beautiful ladies from each region. You'll be pleased with the views across the marina to the main castle, a perfect location for a slow lunch or watching the lights sparkle across the marina at night.

We found the pricing to be very reasonable, especially some of the gems on the wine list and the quality of cocktails, and not to mention the outstanding level of the ingredients and preparation of the meals. The extra few steps are well worth it when considering the entire package that Chinabloom delivers. We wish we had known about Chinabloom during our visit to...

Amazing Asian food!!! We are from the U.S. and have many great choices for really good Asian food there. However, it can be a challenge in such places like Turkiye. Even though the reviews for Chinabloom were good, we were unsure just how good it could be. We were blown away! The food was amazing!! We ordered Mongolian fried chicken for starter, Pad Thai, Chicken with Basil and Peking Duck for main. Each dish was as fresh and tasty as the next. All so full of flavor! Especially surprising was how good the duck was. Tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The drinks were also creative and tasty. We had the Saketini - Gin martini made with gin and sake. Very light and refreshing. Service was attentive, friendly and helpful. Overall this place is great! If you like Asian food, this...

Restaurant is offering 50% discount on food between 20.00 and 22.00 daily. This in itself hints at possible problems. Only 3 tables at 20.30 when I walked in. Started with the sashimi plate. Three pieces of three types of fish. Not good value even with the discount. Salmon and white fish was ok. The third fish was dry and did not look or taste fresh. Followed with udon noodles with chicken. This was very disappointing, they did not serve udon noodles but the very thin cupasoup noodles. Staff did their best but gave no suggestions or upselling skills. The menu is far too big and my advise would be to reduce by half and to excel with the reduced menu. Previously they had a Thai chef but he has since left. Would I return or recommend. Probably not. Shame because Bodrum lacks a decent...
