I've been eating here since I was a student at UTMB in 1969. That's a long time. The food has consistently been good to good times and bad times on the island I can always count on the generals chicken on the wonderful egg rolls and my favorite shrimp fried rice and egg drop soup. All the other things in between are great And you will always be greeted with a smile from staff who are there to enhance your experience if you dine in order to have your order to go prepared quickly.

Very attentive staff. Quick service. Very tasty, homemade comfort food for great prices. I had the combination Gen Tso's and wonton soup. Both were very flavorful and generous. I will definitely come back. *only a small negative note... it's pretty dark when you come in but don't let that deter you. Staff is very sweet and welcoming. The dining rooms are cozy but not superb.

WILLIE FANCY SON! he's always hooking it up. Coming back every weekend. The bar is where it's AT. Love it here. The people, the fish tanks, the service. Nothing but 5 stars baybee!

Hidden gem...worthy of being a weekly visit. Here's the deal. I'm from SoCal and we've been on the island for a week and I'm tired of fried food. So we came to Buddha because we needed Asian food with white rice. Reviews stopped us from coming here sooner...so sad we waited so long. This is a family restaurant, at least three generations. Inside is unchanged for nearly 50 years and looks like an Irish steakhouse. Food is excellent. Very homemade and different in a good way than Cali Chinese. Service is the best, family members serving, bussing tables, greeting guests. We had the Mandarin Delight with three meats, lots of diced vegetables and a sauce that is flavorful and tangy. All of it freshly prepared. We also had the Singapore Noodles with pork and shrimp, totally reminded me of pancit with rice noodles and lots of black pepper...outstanding. Finally topped it off with sautéed snow peas! Yummy and fresh. Anyways, get here. Prices are more than reasonable, food is plentiful, service is the best. BUT don't expect white tablecloths and uniforms. PS - The Long Island Iced Tea is killer. Thanks Angela! All meals are freshly prepared.

My partner and I came for lunch and sat at the bar with Will. He provided awesome service & the food was so good!! Definitely going to be one of our go to lunch spots from here on out!

I don't understand why the lower rating. This place is top notch cuisine! The entire staff is friendly and accommodating. Clean restaurant. Our hot and sour soup was spicy and loaded with the usual veggies and mushroom and even chicken. My Lo mein side had a wonderful smoky savory sauce as did my husband's Vegetable lo mein. Iced tea came in a carafe so we could refill ourselves. If we lived in the area, we'd visit here often!

I'm not sure why the rating is so low for this long-time local spot. I've been coming to Happy Buddha for 20+ years. It's good Chinese food. Nothing mind blowing, but solid, tasty Chinese food with huge portions and nice staff. The employees are always so nice and provide great service. Everyone in our group enjoyed their order. The combos are like $13 too! A deal for all of the food... easily two meals. The restaurant & bathrooms were very clean. They also have a full bar. Cold mugs to go with our beer. If you haven't been, give them a try. Great to-go orders too!
