| - Went to Little Buddha with a girlfriend last weekend and was really disappointed. I was pretty excited after reading the reviews, but after visiting, the food was marginal, service average and atmosphere was kind of blah . . . and it was a Saturday night!
For starters, we chose the calamari and chicken lettuce wraps -- I thought the calamari was very skimpy and a lot more battered than in other places I've ordered it. The chicken lettuce wraps, on the other hand, were delish!! I would recommend those!! For dinner, we ordered the Mongolian Beef which I thought Pei Wei does MUCH better and the Orange Chicken which was pretty good. My girlfriend loves orange chicken and says it was very average . . . . it's not something I usually order, so I'll go with her assessment on that one.
I'll have to say though . . . they do martinis well -- I did have the lychee martini and my girlfriend had some peach martini and we did enjoy those thoroughly!!
All in all, a worthwhile stop if you're in the Palms, but I wouldn't go out of my way for the Little Buddha. Aside from the margaritas, Pei Wei is much better. And that's sad as its twice the price at Little Buddha!!
