Remodeled a few years ago; the atmosphere is splendid. Great wood art pieces mixed with walls with depth and lighting. The food has been well thought out, even to the point of reheating at home. (I have never met a chef that considered reheating elements of their food). The whole order came out hot and fresh off the cooking line all at once. The fried tofu is the best I've had. The tofu kept its shape thanks to a coating that soaked up the addictive flavor of the sauce still maintaining a crunch. The Mongolian chicken was also the most delicious and flavorful dish. The onions and scallions complemented this dish perfectly. I highly recommend this dish. The honey walnut shrimp had very crispy walnuts which gives you the satisfying crunch and snap of walnut mix of flavor. In general, I'm not a fan of some strong Chinese spices but the Taiwanese crispy beef plays a very good balancing act that can make or break this dish. It was fantastically good! As someone who has cooked their own fried rice, I rarely get it right. The fried rice here has a light and delicate flavor, perfect to eat on its own or with other foods without compromising the flavor of other dishes. I highly HIGHLY recommend Big Buddha. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

It was good! I love a good lunch special. The lunch special includes a crab puff, soup, an egg roll, and fried rice on top of what you order. Service was fast and everything tasted good; I got the chicken lo main.

Super authentic cuisine. Loved it. Waitress was nice. We were able to get a table quickly. Food was delivered quickly. Lunch specials were great. Prices were ideal for the portions size. I like that it’s a family style serving dishes. Easy to find.

Good ambience and a great service. Loved their beef on skewers, crab puffs and Singapore fried Rice. Interesting was their Buddha bombers! Would surely be back again!

I recently dined at Big Buddha, and it was an absolute delight! The won ton soup is hands down the best I've ever had, and the spicy won ton soup is my personal favorite; it's the perfect balance of flavors and heat. Even though I'm not usually a fan of egg rolls, the ones here are unbelievably addicting – a must-try. The lunch specials are fantastic, offering great value for your money, and the Singapore noodles are incredibly delicious. Big Buddha has become my go-to spot for a satisfying and flavorful meal! If you choose to go tell Uncle, David says hi, if you don't know who Uncle is ask your server they may look at you funny and wonder where you heard that name, secret is, all the servers call the older server uncle. A very personal pleasant dining experience.

Local Gem...Good Asian food in Arizona! The Wor Wonton was pretty amazing and the Pupu platter was very good.

We love the pork fried rice, and the Taiwanese Beef (spicy!). Staff is friendly, surroundings are clean and tidy, and of course, food is top-notch. We arrive about 4:00-4:15 as they start to get full after that. Popular place with locals.

Tried this place for the first time today. Loved it! Ordered the Orange chicken. It was super busy but we were served very quickly and food came quick too. Loved the mango ice tea yum! Will definitely be back.

Great spot right of the 303! Service was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We had the Po Po Platter, Happy Family, and Yang Chow Fried Rice. The Po Po Platter was quick to go, hence the picture of it being empty. 😂 Will probably stop by again when on that side of town. Thank you to everyone there for their service and great food 👍

Really great Chinese food! Portions are big, taste is on point! Had the pu pu platter and was plenty for 3 people. Could definitely be shared with 4 people. The garlic chicken was delicious and a tad spicy. The twice fried pork was good but slices of pork are thin and small, not my favorite. The sweet and sour chicken was delicious and the breading was fluffy on the inside crispy on the outside. Fried rice was underwhelming, more like rice with soy sauce. The chicken lo mein was great! Staff are very quick, efficient and friendly. They really work as a team to make sure everyone is well taken care of! Will definitely be back.

The first time we tried this and it was a 3 star. However, dine in is a COMPLETELY different experience. Chef special Orange chicken Chef special General Tso PuPu Platter (yeah, the name gave me the giggles) ALL of it was perfection. The flavors were off the chart good. The only thing we didn't care for was the soy rice. It's a little heavy on the soy sauce. The egg rolls were hands down the BEST I've ever had in my life. I'd come back just to eat a plate of those alone.

They've been consistently good for the last three years. Service is quick even during peak hours. My favorites are the Mongolian Beef and Sesame Chicken. I've never had an issue here, but some people I've eaten with say the food is too saucy or oversaturated with sauce.

The two times I've been, great service from all the staff. They all help each other and love to see that. I've ordered the Egg foo young and coconut shrimp. During busy times they do take a while since it's fresh, be patient with them!!! Can't wait to go back

Overall great food and service.. however, waiter kept making comments that made both me and husband uncomfortable. We ordered appetizer platter and dinner- we usually take leftovers for our adult children since they couldn't attend. I don't feel we should have to feel discriminated against- called my husband big guy and said oh that's a lot of food.. shouldn't they be happy we ordered more food? Not sure we will be back or if so takeout only.

We ordered delivery so I can’t speak to the inside of the restaurant, but the food and services were amazing. It’s always a risk when you order delivery that it might not be fresh or hot when it gets there but the food was absolutely incredible. And we had an issue with customizing one of the items through the app, so we called in and they were super friendly and helpful. Definitely our new favorite local Chinese food spot.

Best Chinese food around. Been coming here since they open. I grew up in the Bay area, San Francisco. Always love my beef chow fun. Big Buddha makes the best beef chow fun around. Excellent service and great food. Owner and staff are always nice and offer excellent fast service.
