Honestly is it the best at anything, no. But it is the best at being the Buddha bar, and always a fun time.

Worst place ever! Don't even go there!! I order a glass of wine and she gave me half way and she is like $10 dollars?? Trust me dont do it, the place across the street, you get awesome MaiThai for $10 dollar and even thete my wine is $8 dollar.I used to love tne buddha back in the day but , this place' changed so much its sad. Trust me go the place acrossed the street with the mai thais , you won't be disappointed.

Stopped by with some friends on a Saturday after the lunar new year parade, friends had ordered drinks but I only wanted water. The man serving at the bar rudely refused to serve me water because I had not boughten an alcoholic drink. I feel like this was such a let down considering that we were trying to enjoy our time. A friend then went up to a female bartender and requested waters, she didn't hesitate to provide us with a glass. I would not recommend this bar due to this rudeness to deny water just because you didn't order an alcoholic drink.

Don't come here if you're trying to drink responsibly, asked for water and beer and he didn't want to serve AT ALL. Literal quote " we don't serve Asians"

Low key and chill bar. I like stopping by here when I just want to grab a drink and hangout for a bit.

love me a small little bar! i really like the vibe here and think their buddha beer (the signature drink!) is super delicious. it's refreshing, tasty, and the price point is perfect. my only gripe is sometimes they close earlier than advertised without warning. but i get it, sometimes days can get slow. i love that they have the touchtunes in here--it's actually something i REALLY enjoy about this place. can't wait to go back!

Boring bar and the bartender was a jerk. Other places in Chinatown with much friendlier staff and better atmosphere.

Came in on 12/9/23 and was told by the bartender to move outside because I was taking up space. When moving down to the other side of the bar he told me I couldn't be there which was completely unwarranted as I was just trying to find a space to meet up with my friends. He was so rude and it felt as though It came out of nowhere as I had no other contact with this bartender besides him telling me I was taking up space and wasn't allowed to be there. Safe to say I don't feel comfortable going back and my friend said her drink was really gross. I would give no stars if I could.

Beautiful people make beautiful business and this place has it all as small as it is. I had a great time with people who felt like friends. I would definitely return to this place and yes, I would recommend it to a friend.

Bartender Annie is a great host. sad to say I haven't caught the Buddha lounge open my past few visits to Chinatown. I hope they open Again soon. Ones of my regular spots in town.

We showed up at 5pm per the open hours and it was dark and locked up.
