Not sure why so many negative reviews and they should not effect your desire to eat here. Chipotle reviews next door are terrible but Chipotle still has super long line every time. I've always had great experience here, especially compared to other Asian food in this area. Buddha is a national chain and there is a reason it's successful and located in several high-end malls in Westchester. Overall, we are lucky there is at least one higher-end Asian dine-in place near Port Chester. read more

We had a nice lunch here. Had a lunch special combo with chicken and steak. Soup was really good, very flavorful. The veggies were tasty with a nice bite to them, and the lo mein was delicious. The steak we had was cooked to order perfectly, medium rare as we asked for. The chicken was a little bit overdone, but oh well. Service was nice, and the people were friendly. It's a good choice for a quick lunch. Food came out very fast. The restaurant itself is very dark inside, but very pretty. read more

We ordered Mongolian Beef, General Tso chicken, Thai Basil chicken, Beef Chow fun, these dishes was okay, and Steam vegetables with Shrimp, this dish was just plain vegetables with cocktail Shrimp put on top. Found portion small for value. read more

I visited this restaurant on a Friday night with my family (two adults and two children). During our visit, the waiter was unprofessional and unwilling to answer basic questions. There were children seated near us who appeared to have been dropped off without adult supervision. These children were bothering my children. When I raised this concern with management, I was told this is typical for a Friday night and that if I did not like it, I should not return. I contacted the restaurant the following day to discuss the situation. The person I spoke with raised their voice, was dismissive, and stated they did not care if I left a negative review. Based on this experience, I was disappointed with the level of customer service and the way concerns were handled read more

The Food at Buddha is great.The Service is good at Buddha because the hibachi chefs are funny and nice.The ambiance of this restaurant is very nice too because of the Asian vibe read more

Bad tempered and rude waitress threw things at us and on the table. Got sick after eating this food. Restaurant was empty. Now I know why. If so many people are getting sick here, why doesn't the Health Dept. close the place ? read more

The worst service i have ever recieved in 37 years. honestly what a disaster . I asked for water and the waitress said "later" and ran away and never came back. that was the least of the bizarre issues that occurred tonight. beyond rude. go to edos instead . This was awful. read more

This place was good for lunch. The sushi is good quality. Me and my husband ordered the salmon salad and we wish that we were given a whole piece of salmon filet instead of crumbled salmon. It was tasty though but a small portion and we were still hungry afterwards. Nice ambiance and prompt service. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I would only eat here if I knew I wanted to be out of commission for days. My family ordered sesame chicken, Tom yom soup, lo mein, crispy orange beef and pork buns. The violent food poisoning that ensued shortly thereafter was something truly out of the most disturbing of horror films. My husband said he had never been that sick in his life. I wish could go back in time and warn myself for the horrors we were about to experience. read more

The best hibachi. I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and I have no complaints. It's great for garlic lovers as well.

We came here after our daughter's high school musical, so it was quite late. We made a reservation for eight people. When we arrived, we felt that we were not warmly welcomed. The wait staff sort of threw everything at us in a passive-aggressive way. The hibachi chef was fantastic, however, he was enthusiastic and entertaining. But when we got the bill we discovered that they charged us extra for rice without telling us. Overall, a disappointing experience. read more

Went to Buddha for lunch with a friend. Service mediocre. Wrong food orders brought to table. Soup served cold and tasted like dishwater Sent back. Meal served cold and sent back. Restaurant so dark it's hard to see what you're eating. Overall a poor disappointing meal all round. Ironically, their home delivery service is pretty good but I won't be back to dine at this restaurant again. read more

Food tastes good. However, there is a serious problem with customer service at this restaurant. Firstly, there is no reason to make a reservation. They may seat you on time but everyone is waiting 45minutes to 1 hour until the hibachi cook comes over to the table. The wait staff however is eager to take away the soup and salad bowls... when you ask for something, they grunt and bring things over and throw it down on the table. We used to go here often but the last time, we had a 7pm reservation and left at 9:30... we vowed never again. read more

It's always fun going to a hibachi place. What's good about this place is they have a very extensive menu, so if half of your group wants hibachi you can do that and the rest can order from their menu. They have everything from sushi, to rolls, combo plates and teriyaki. There are limited hibachi stations so it's best to make a reservation but specifically say it's for the hibachi. Half our table ordered the hibachi and the other half ordered off the regular menu. There are different combos available for the hibachi depending on your price range. The chefs are entertaining and throw the food into your mouth to catch. Kids love the show as well. read more

Awful !! Do not waste your money. They literally throw the food at you. Tonight we were done in 25 min. The cook splattered us all night. No show , except making a big fire 100 times. Put like 5 eggs in the fried rice. ( extra $4.50 ! If you want it fried. It's so dark in there . I believe hiding the dirt. Food all over the floor. Gross !!! There is no better hibachi then Ed'o in Pelham. . The waitress doesn't even come back to see if you want water. The chicken and steak cheap and tough. I'm so pissed right now 135 dollars for crap with no drink. Stay away. Thank me later read more

Forgot to include rice in bag. Went back for rice. Gave me half a pint and accused me of lying about not getting white rice. Unbelievable service, never ordering again. read more

We placed an order online and after an hour and a half and the driver going to the restaurant, we then got notification that they were cancelled. This was all despite the fact that it was within business hours, their website said they were open and they left online ordering platforms open. read more

recently attempted to dine there and we sat on the non hibachi area. There was only 3 if ts and the ONLY FAMILY seated on that side. waitress was rude from the minute she asked our drink options. did not say hello or even smile. as if she was angry we were ordering. we needed a few minutes to order and those few minutes let to 20 minutes waiting for her to come back and take our dinnner request. DID I MENTION we were the only people seated. we left cash in the table for our drinks and proceeded to leave. she apologizes on our way out. treat people kindly please. all I expect s kindness and a smile. I am kind to everyone. read more

0 stars. 7:00 reservations didnt eat until 9pm. Not once was my water refilled. The chef came out late with no emotion and didn't throw one peice of food. We came for the experience just like everyone else and didn't receive it. Strangers at the table all complained as well. I got the check before the food even came out so i didnt have to wait another hour. For the first time in my life I thought it was necessary to leave 0 tip. Not one person in the entire restaurant deserved one. The manager was rude and she couldn't care less. Also saw a ladybug on the stove read more

Definitely a great place to go dine-in or order takeout. They have hibachi and regular Japanese cuisine. Eat in I usually indulge in hibachi, order out is always sushi and sides. Usually everything is correct but on occasion they do forget items so always, always double check!! read more

I don't see how so many people have given this place poor reviews. I have gone there numerous times and I am happy every single time they have a great menu awesome sushi and they make the best Mai ties. Plus they also have Hibachi for those who are interested in that experience. The staff is friendly and helpful. Plus there's plenty of parking and that is important too I hate going to restaurants where we have to struggle to find a place to park. read more

I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars, but if Yelp had half points I would do 2.5. That's not a big difference, but they don't quite deserve 3. Here's why... First, they were either short staffed or it was just busy for a Saturday night. Since I had reservations for their Hibachi, they couldn't seat my party until everyone arrived. Which is understood. But, once we were all there, it took about 10 minutes for the maitre'd to come to his station. Then, another 10 minutes for them to seat us. Once seated, we were never attended to for at least 30 minutes. I realize the chef has to focus on and cook each table's food individually and that takes time. However, in the meantime they could've had someone else take our drink and app orders. That would've spaced out our meals and gave us something to munch on until the chef was ready. Not to mention, they could make more money that way. Second, while it didn't bother me, the place is very kid friendly and therefore very loud. There were at least four tables with six or more kids at each one. So, if you're looking for a quiet intimate dinner I don't suggest you do their Hibachi. There's another side and while I can't say the noise doesn't travel, I would suggest going over there if that's the atmosphere you're looking for. Last, while the food was good it was not great. Just average in my opinion. Hope this helps! read more

More of a 3.5, if anything! Can't speak for the other reviews but I thought this place was overall decent! Nothing stands out as phenomenal, but it's not terrible either. The lunch hibachi is good value ($12 for chicken base, $14+ for seafood, etc), the hibachi chef is pleasant and engaging, and the portion left me full for the day. However, charging +$3.5 for fried rice supplement to the hibachi is kind of expensive (literally you're adding a few vegetables and the smallest bits of meat to the rice we already get). The food is salty, but this is expected when you see how much oil and butter is used while cooking. 3.5 stars isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's hard to get to 4 or 5 stars unless they really bring something innovative to the table. Overall, a solid Japanese grill in the White Plains area. read more

The tuna poke bowl is pretty good. This is a restaurant specializing in Japanese cooking even though they offer Thai, Chinese and Cantonese cooking. We ordered the amazing chicken and vegetable Cantonese Chow Fun. Both are so so. The sauce for the amazing chicken is plain ketchup. So unimpressed. read more

Should've read the reviews before we went. Do yourself a favor pick other hibachi places which are better. They were rude, non-entertaining chefs ,food was bland and flavorless , messy table and they just seemed like they couldn't wait for us to leave. Really don't know how this place is still in business. read more

Believe the negative reviews for customer service. I went here tonight for the first time and the customer service was so bad we left without eating. We were seated to an empty hibachi table. We chose our seats at the end of the table. The table started filing up and then a young, inexperienced, rude server came up to me and my fiancé and said "I need you to move your seat so that this foursome can sit together". Not a "can you please move over?" Which we would have happily done. Being told to move over, not at all. If you want hibachi, avoid this place. read more

Great food! Ate indoors which I haven't done in the longest time and to be honest, was nervous about. Everyone was masked and they had us all separated - one family per hibachi table. Felt very comfortable eating. They had great service! read more

All about supporting local businesses but our recent trip to Buddha has left me feeling inclined to leave my first review on Yelp... we went on Mothers Day as it was also my sons birthday and he requested hibachi. I was on the hunt for a new hibachi restaurant as I find most of them to be a little gross because of how dark it is in the dining rooms. Jokes on me - this was by far the grossest hibachi experience I've ever had. Our chef was nice, so were the servers. However, everything in the restaurant and at the table was dirty. The table was filthy, the side dishes were noticeably not clean. My husband, one of my kids, and I all ordered sushi to start. And all three of us got food poisoning. We eat sushi a lot so this was a clear indicator the fish was bad. Front of house was chaotic and messy. No one to answer the phone consistently. Two employees just walked by, picked it up, and hung it up. How in the world is this place still open in Rye Brook?! read more

You want the good news first or the bad news? Well, they had SUPER fast delivery to my hotel! Sadly though, the food was barely edible. I ordered the "Fire Wok." The seafood in it was mushy, especially the lobster tail. The taste was quite bland. Oh, and they got a part of the order wrong that I ordered through Yelp! (Which eat24 promptly corrected.) I won't be ordering from them again when I'm in town. read more

Wow! I've been here three times and every time I have been completely disappointed.. The lack of attention was a huge issue After we placed our order at the hibachi table was the last time we saw our server... period I had to get up and go get our check They promptly assigned a chef which prepared our three appetizers and hibachi dinner for five people in a matter of less than ten minutes. I remembering looking down at my plate and being overwhelmed with the amount of food that was thrown at me which lacked flavor, quality and appearance. The place was packed well over the limit of social distancing and I remember looking around and counting 12 table and no chefs working any of them. Clearly over crowded and understaffed. This was the icing on the cake for me When I looked at my check that was about $250 They automatically tacked on a "18% gratuity!" I have no problem with the amount of gratuity I have tip over 30% before for exceptional service The fact that they put it on a service fee takes away from their employees that were literally killing themselves to do the best that they could. Constantly fumbling the ball Terrible experience Worse service I'm feel bad for even writing this review but it's true read more

My co-workers and I had dinner here last night and the birthday girl chose this place. All I knew was this just opened a few months ago so I read the yelp reviews. Everyone seems to be a fan so I'm quite excited to try their food. The place was pretty empty when we got there. Only a few tables occupied and 2 hibachi dinners going on. The weather wasn't the greatest either - rainy and windy. What I liked upon entering this place was the big Buddha to your right. It's humongous and pretty awesome! The interior was not too shabby either. There were life-sized Asian statues by the sushi bar and the wall dividing the regular dining room and the hibachi area were nicely decorated. I'd post pics but the ones I took came up dark. Food - I can't wait to go back!!! Everything was delicious. We had the seaweed salad, rock shrimp tempura, and chicken dumplings for appetizers. The salad was fresh and spiced just right and the dumplings were so tasty! One order was not enough so we had seconds! For the main course, not everyone was a fan of hand rolls so we got some regular entrees as well. We ordered the crispy red snapper, orange chicken and some rolls such as the old man-c, out of control roll, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, green dragon and iso. The entrees came hot and nicely presented. The snapper was really crispy (just like they described) and had this really good sauce. The orange chicken was perfect. Not too orange-y like some places will do and not lacking the flavor either. Both orders came with rice. As for the rolls, everything was fresh! They were pretty huge, 8 pieces each and rolled tightly so they didn't fall apart. Nice presentation as well. Service was great! Or maybe because it wan't busy! The drinks and water were refilled without any of us asking and they accommodated every request made such as spicy mayo on the side, more wasabi or some kid's chopsticks since not everyone in our group knew how to use one. i told the wait staff that we had a birthday girl and he came out with an ice cream bowl after we had all finished dinner and sang for her. Our co-workers who couldn't make the get together asked how our dinner was and we were all raving about it. Just planned a get together lunch and we will all be back in a few weeks!! read more

I had the strimp & lobster tail with noddles & fried rice. It was good, a bit too much oil on the food. My only complaint is that the chef I had rushed making my food, was messy cooking, didn't clean the stove after cooking, he didn't do the food trick where they toss the food & didn't do give us sake from the bottle. He was just rushing the whole process and not like the other hibachi I usually go to. I was honestly disappointed with the chefs service. Lastly the fried ice cream was good & the servers did a good job but the chef....not good. read more

Just had delivery through GrubHub. I thought the food was pretty good. I would recommend it. The avocado sushi roll was great. There was a tempura roll which was also good. The cucumber roll was... OK. There was a mixed veggie roll in there as well, which was real good too. So many rolls... more on that later. Then I had the veggie dumplings which were great. And lastly, some miso soup. The soup was good and they gave like a big container full of it. Buddha's menu is extensive. There are LOTS of options and plenty of choices for vegetarians. I think the only thing I'd say as a negative is that they require a $20 order minimum in order to do the GrubHub delivery. Part of that is balanced by the fact that there was no additional delivery charge, but the minimum forced me to order much more food than I needed. Leads to wasted food and over-eating. One other minor thing, they should've sent more soy sauce. With all those sushi rolls, the little cup of soy was not enough. I even used up the couple of extra packets they sent, but I still ran out of soy before my rolls were finished. It turned out OK, because I couldn't eat anymore anyway. But still, I would suggest they err on the side of providing some extra soy sauce. What does that cost... 25 cents? The delivery was super fast. Probably... like 25 minutes or less. It worked out really perfectly for me in terms of timing. I don't know why they estimated the delivery would be 1 hour up front, though. I think I'll be ordering from Buddha again. read more

I have tried this place both in restaurant and delivery. The restaurant is very well decorated and the staff is friendly. Food is consistently good and their prices are fair. Their hibachi lunch combo is definitely a good deal! I think their menu is very creative and even though I am not a fan of sushi I can find many things to eat on the menu. Deliver was easy using Grubhub. Food came a little later than expected (around 15 minutes later than estimated) but it wasn't an outrageous amount of time. It's a good visit! read more
