Went threw the drive through for lunch today and my wife got the Peanut butter chicken and I got the firecracker Shrimp and got the chicken egg rolls. The guy at the window wasn't very friendly. The peanut butter chicken was crispy and delicious, as was the egg rolls! The firecracker shrimp didn't have any heat and was a little runny for my taste. I would recommend this place to anyone, I would just try a different entree next time.
Funny name but great food! The peanut butter chicken is fantastic. Give this place a try!
So delicious!! I ordered the peanut butter chicken and general Tso chicken with fried rice and soup. Highly recommend both. Also got some crab rangoons and they were so fresh!!! If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out. Gave it four stars because I'd love to try some more before I give it a five!
Better than you might expect from such a humble looking building. I recommend them. Menu: 4/5. You'll find all the usual Americanized Chinese dishes. But what makes Buudha Belly special is the daily chef's special, which may feature in-season vegetables or a creative combination of old favorites. Communication is good, so you can make special requests with no problem. Flavor: 4/5. Sweet or salty, but rarely subtle. Value: 5/5. Prices are low and portions are generous. Special diets: 3/5. No nutritional information is available. A good variety of veggie options, and I've found I can ask for extra veggies with almost any dish. When asked, they said they don't use MSG, but a family member has reacted to the food as if MSG (or something similar) was present. Atmosphere: 2/5. Good views...of roads and a few trees. Spartan fast food vibe. Tables can be moved to accommodate groups. Cleanliness: 5/5. Access: Plenty of parking, drive through, easy in and out from any direction. No insurmountable wheelchair barriers. The website hasn't been updated for years and still shows them at their old location in Gretna. Food is served in Styrofoam containers. Sauces can melt Styrofoam (it's happened to me with hot garlic sauce at this restaurant), leaving a big mess if it melts through, and adding nasty chemicals to your food.
Good Singapore noodles! I have been missing Singapore noodles since Canton House on North 90th St. removed it from their menu several years ago and subsequently closed. Saw in a review for Buddha Belly that Singapore noodles were on the menu. As it was close to my lunchtime errand path, gave it a try. Unassuming building, but clean and nicer on the inside than the parking lot would lend one to believe. No other customers were inside at 1:30 p.m. on a Wednesday. As for the Singapore noodles, a very good rendition! The counter attendant (who I suspect is the proprietor although I don't know) was friendly and worked with my schedule to time the pickup just right. One tiny issue -- I wish they had airtight containers for to-go dishes instead of styrofoam. It worked out OK this time, but any kind of saucy dish could be problematic in transport.
