| - This place never fails to delight. I've been eating here more or less since they opened. My favourites are the tomato beef (probably not everyone's cup of tea as it's a little slimy I guess), garlic eggplant/tofu, and either the Singapore or the Yang Chow fried rice. I've heard that the Orange Chicken is awesome, I'm not a big fan of this dish so I've never had it here, but at some stage I'll see if I can convince the wife to get some then try a small bit to see what the fuss is about. The only thing keeping this place from getting four stars is that it's a little on the pricy side - I bought an order of their (new) Taiwanese style beef and an order of Yang Chow rice, and the total came to almost $20. Entrees come with a small side of boiled rice, probably about 20c worth in the scheme of things. I'd have felt far more comfortable paying about $10-12, and in fact your dollar buys you plenty more food at Chen and Wok down the road, which is almost as tasty (and THEY have pork w/black mushroom! :-) At any rate, Buddha is a great little Chinese place in Surprise, clean, well-run, great selection of food but something that unfortunately I have to consider a rare treat based on cost.
