    Sushi, wings, drinks, the best sushi on St Thomas hands down
    Justine B.

    If you miss this hidden gem in St. Thomas, you've missed a lot. Chef Taj the master at his trait, a creator. Go try the sushi pizza, wings, mussels, too much to mention you will not be disappointed. The place is so warming. The staff is amazing much love to Faye. The pairings with the food on point. Great date night, or family. A+++++++

    Loved our experience at Buddha Sushi! The rolls are huge, BEST miso soup, sushi was fresh, they give you large portions, fun vibe inside and a very friendly, local staff.

    This is our go to spot for sushi every visit because you get good food, it's authentic, and it's seldom packed with tourists so you don't get that annoyance and prices are pretty straightforward. We visited during the pandemic around 7pm, they were really good about having us sign in and sanitize as well as scanning a QR code for a menu. We sat near the sushi bar area which gave us an opportunity to chat with Chef Taj who is the brainchild behind many of the scrumptious items on the menu. He's very personable and it's a pleasure chatting with him. I didn't catch our servers name but he was very "zen like" best way to describe it, soft spoken, calm - I reminded myself to take some notes and that. He had a very calm demeanor. Okay so now the food will not disappoint! I am pregnant and was bummed about missing out on raw sushi but the menu is well rounded and coded with cooked rolls/food, raw as well as vegan options. Chef Taj let us know about a special buy one get one half off spicy tuna so my husband added that to his order. We did start with the mussels which came recommended by Chef Taj, they are four huge ones the mussels are cooked and chopped up topped with Panko and some fabulous sauces. Very delicious! And the also found out that he used his fireworks roll sauce (it's a roll we didn't get it this time but have had it in the past) on wings and won some contests so he added that to the menu - they were very yummy. I tasted a blend of peanut and chili among some other secret things I'm sure he mixed in. For our "main course" we shared the eel lovers which had eel sashimi (two sliced seared eel pieces that just melted in your mouth), eel nigiri, and two eel rolls one was a caterpillar and one was with shrimp tempura. It was all so good - and Chef Taj brought out a couple of sauces, I can't remember what one of them was but the Rock City sauce was phenomenal. If you're on St. Thomas, be sure to check this place out. We can't wait to go back next trip!

    Calm quiet atmosphere. Very red toned and pretty inside. Food was absolutely delicious, I got the red dragon roll and I would go as far to say it was the best sushi I've ever had! All sushi was insanely fresh. The sauce on the spicy edamame was decadent and the staff was lovely. Love taj! Also my best friend is vegan and she got the veggie volcano roll, they have lots of vegan options. 10/10 would recommend

    OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE

    My husband and I came to Buddah Sushi while on our honeymoon in VI. Our taste buds were instantly in love, I felt like our taste buds were on crack we could not stop eating the food was so delicious. For starters we had their award winning wings, wow we loved them. Then had their dumplings. Again delish. If my husband could, he would drink the sauce with the dumplings because he loved it. For dinner. We ordered the volcano, fire snapper and firework. When we come back in the future, we will try their "Smooth, criminal" unfortunately, we just didn't have enough room. Taj, their MasterChef infused the best flavors into everything we ate. He is so talented and everything was OUTSTANDING. We are sushi eaters at heart and this place blew our minds!!! When we go home we will remember this place as VI's best of the best. The BEST dinner hands down. Another thing we had was their mussels the most mouthwatering mussels we've ever had we literally have never had anything like it. It was so delicious. Taj educated us on their sake they have premium top-of-the-line sake nothing we've ever had before, but we are definitely sold, and my husband can now get rid of his negative experience with sake. Our new favorite is plum sake a game changer. Check it out!! Lastly, for dessert we had their sorbet trio. We had watermelon, Tamarindo, and dragon fruit. It was perfect not too filling and every flavor was refreshing and fulfilling. Just an overall pleasant experience where we felt treated like royalty. We are ordinary people celebrating our honeymoon and this place treats everyone with the upmost respect. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to try them out. You will not be disappointed. They will supersede all your expectations like they did ours.

    i had seen about this restaurant before coming, but i was a little disappointed. As soon as you enter, you already smell a not very pleasant smell, the bathroom looks like it was cleaned a while ago, the problem is that it's not just the food that makes a good restaurant, it needs to smell clean, so it doesn't do any good if the chef is the best in sushi, but if his entire team doesn't strive to have a clean, pleasant environment. these 3 stars are just for the sushi, which was the best I've eaten so far. Chicken, rice, and vegetable don't taste nothing this place would have incredible potential if they would just try a little bit

    Always, the most enjoyable sushi experience on island from the creative tasty menu selections to the light yet romantic atmosphere. The staff is professional and friendly.

    We always go when we visit the island (which is at least once or twice a year). It takes time to get your food but the chef Taj creates the best sushi we have had anywhere. The plating is great but the taste is unreal! We typically get the volcano roll and smooth criminal amongst several others (cooked, raw and vegetarian). Bring your appetite and the patience for an amazing meal.

We were treated like royalty by everyone we came into contact with. We came for dinner and we're concerned that we would be ready to go back before the Ferry was ready to take us. Dinner was 5 to 8 PM. We ended with about an hour to spare, but there were so many beautiful spots to explore and yard games, such as life-size chess, cornhole, tic-tac-toe, among others. My husband and I enjoyed after dinner drinks while our two kids let off some wiggles. The food was phenomenal. We ordered the tuna and the filet mignon. They had a great children's menu as well. The artisan breads were yummy and the homemade ice cream for dessert finished off a beautiful evening. After dinner, we got cozy on some bean bags near the beach area and just couldn't get over how beautiful the surroundings were. It's perfectly lit at night, music is just the right vibe and volume, you can hear the waves gently lapping the shores. It was definitely the highlight to our 10 day trip here. It IS pricey. It's MORE than worth it. Just go!
