The restaurant is quite small; there are only 7 maybe 8? tables. The service was very polite and attentive.
I ordered chicken and vegetables with brown rice and tried the hot and sour soup. Meh on the hot and sour soup. I've had better. It was a little thick for soup.
The chicken and vegetables were fine, definitely healthy with very little oil on my plate. I can't speak for their other dishes, but I'll be back to try others.
The price was right. My meal with brown rice and a large egg drop soup to-go was $14 and I have enough left overs for another meal. Most of their entrees are about $7-9. Soup is only $1.25-1.65 depending on which one you order.
It's a good value for what you get and it's quick. It probably wouldn't be my choice for a special night out, but if you are done with work, tired and don't feel like cooking I think Happy Buddha is an okay option.
4 stars for service
3 stars for food
So I'll round up to 4 stars overall, even though a 3.5 star review seems like it would be more appropriate.
It would be nice to see a small establishment like this do well. There aren't enough Mom and Pops restaurants around.
