Food: Perfectly portioned delicious fare

The Lemongrass Chicken with rice stands out for its well-balanced spiciness among Happy Buddha's offerings. Ritch dishes such as the Bun Bo Hue Spicy Beef Soup and Claypot Peppered Fish – all packing a flavorful punch of freshness – are the stars of the show. The creativity in the kitchen shines through in the vegetarian dishes that closely mimic meat. Despite its limited variety, every dish offers a sense of enjoyment, from taste to generous portion sizes.

  • Great Value

    Affordable, great deal, worth it, fair price; customers feel content.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited items, menu too simple with less than 20 dishes.

Vibe: Broadly pleasing yet confidently simple

Amid a cozy corner that captures hearts upon entry, the ambiance of Happy Buddha radiates warmth. Weekends buzz with activity, while weekday dinners offer a more relaxed pace. The rhythmic music enhances the dining experience, even if it doesn't quite offer the privacy one might desire for a date night.

  • Great To Entertain

    Calming, rhythmic music enhances the dining experience.

  • Okay Buzz

    Busy on weekends, weekday dinners slower, big restaurant with music.

  • Bad For Dates

    Small and crowded space hinders privacy, making dates feel less intimate.

Perks: Cheerful, kid-friendly and accommodating service

The very busy Happy Buddha ensures convenient parking in a large plaza, with the ability to accommodate sizable groups. What truly wins the day is the service – attentive and friendly in nature. Children have their own special menu. Dieters aren't left out either, with a range of satisfyingly prepared, creative vegetarian options.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample parking repeatedly highlighted in a spacious and convenient plaza.
