Seeing the pictures and reviews for Buddha Belly Deli, I admit I was expecting a pretty damn good meal -- and honestly it exceeded my expectations. Holy crap those sandwiches were good. My friend and I decided to go with the Char Siu Pork Roll and the Sloppy Joe, as well as some Dragon Fries.
The Dragon Fries themselves were really tasty - garlic fries with a little kick cooked just right. But what made it really awesome was I asked for some extra spice and they tossed our Dragon Fries in Ghost Chili sauce! The Burn! ... Actually it wasn't as spicy as I would've thought - but they brought us the bottles of their homemade Ghost Chili sauce as well as their Thai Pepper sauce, which we used generously. So we put more heat on our sandwiches and our fries - but surprisingly the sauces weren't just spicy, they were absolutely delicious too! I used quite a bit of the Thai Pepper sauce which went really well in the sandwiches.
Admittedly, the Char Siu Pork Roll as better than the Sloppy Joe - The Sloppy Joe just lacked a bit of brightness in the sandwich because the short rib was so heavy. There were pickles and slaw, but it probably needed something other than Red Curry as a sauce - at least for me. However, we gobbled up both sandwiches as they were still very tasty. Oh and they had great buns!...
The only thing I could criticize was the chips were a little too oily - it kind of ends up being a lot of oil on the plate with the rich sandwiches and chips.
The guys running the restaurant were so accommodating and clearly cared about how the food tastes - they're new so it'll be interesting to see how they keep up on that. If I lived closer, I'd probably eat here three or four times a week, but even still I do want to go back soon.
