Buddha's Belly is about to vomit – Buddha's Belly is mediocre food with lousy service in a generic environment. If you are looking for a second-rate dining experience, well look no further! This restaurant is on the same level as Panda Express, and that is only due to the fact that the ambiance, while pretentious, is somewhat pleasant. Personally, I think the food tastes better at any run-of-the-mill fast food Chinese restaurant. The wait staff are the Stepford wives of servers. I went there on a date, and our waiter kept in... read more

Buddha's ASS – i must confess, I have never had the inclination nor patience to blog about anything. Ever. But my experience which I am afraid to say still lingers on my palette regardless of how much trail mix I can stuff in my mouth as I type this drives me to break my rule. Angelinos beware! This is a sham! The Emperor is not only without a stitch, but shamelessly without a clue or care that his chubby buddy Buddha is passing off hospital food as cuisine. If Death threats were being bandied about for off color cartoons of... read more

Terrible for groups of six who like the number 37 – We are english and they don't like english people. Anyone wearing glasses should be aware they must take them off before you come in. Food amazing on everyday apart from Thursdays

Great Food, Reasonable Price, and Great Ambiance – Great food. I had the the sour apple soju martini with the albacore avocado spring rolls and the alaskan black cod all reasonably priced without sacrificing quality.

Great neighborhood place, allergy aware – We have lived by Buddha's Belly for three years and had never been in--primarily because I was concerned that my husband, who has a pepper allergy, couldn't survive a place sure to have bell peppers and chili sauce out the yin-yang. However, returning home from a long day at work yesterday, he suggested (to my surprise) we try it out. It was 9:30 pm on a Thursday and we had our 11-year-old in tow (hey, it's still summer vacation!) and we got seated in a booth right away. The restaura... read more

Bad Food at its Worst – My friend suggested PF Changs and I in turn suggested Buddha's Belly. And so we went. It was T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E! We had exactly what the waitress suggested and we were completely unimpressed/disgusted by the food. It was the kind of food you would expect from a Food Court at the mall. It should be called BOOdha's Belly. Or BADha's Belly.

Uneven, but plenty of great menu choices in a snazzy location. – It's best to visit this restaurant with someone who has been there before. Their food is wildly uneven. Some of it is just inedible, such as the damp and way overbattered tempura or the wildly fatty filet mignon. However, dishes like Korean steak, calamari salad, vegan tofu salad, and especially the ahi tuna burger are excellent, as are most of their appetizers. Be sure to try a lychee soju; one of my favorite cocktails in L.A. I have never encountered anything... read more

Best Pan Asian – It is no wonder this restaurant is still so popular after all these years... it is consistently great and very Affordable. The service is friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the restaurant is very comfortable -- perfect for a night out with friends or an early dinner with family...you can't go wrong. I put them to the test with an office party for 40 people in their bamboo party room. It was a huge success and I've been a hero ever since. Favorites entrees: Sweet Chili Shrimp, Black Cod, Korea... read more

Everything was just mediocre – Not what it's cracked up to be...yes it's more affordable than the koi's and katanas of the world, but the food doesn't come close. the miso cod was probably the worst i've had in LA
