    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.

    Service was great! I wish I could remember our server's name; she was so polite and frequently…read morechecked in to refill our water and to make sure we were ok. I admittedly had low expectations for Chinese food in PR, but the lo mein with chicken was delicious! They also had a few vegan options, like the imperial ginger w tofu (essentially sweet & sour tofu) that comes with a side of rice. My lo mein did not come with a side of rice but the portion size could be split among two people, and you can add a side of rice for a small up charge. The vibe is a black & red Asian decor, with a rap around bar and a few restaurant tables. There is also a walk-up boba bar attached that's available on the dining menu.

    You can reseve ahead, parking is a little tricky to find, and easy access + restrooms…read more One of the few spots with an extensive asian menu with veggie options is what made us pick this place. We tried the pan fried veggie dumplings, scallion pancake, hongkong noodles, imperial ginger tofu, black bean chicken, ube pudding and donut with condensed milk. Also 4 drinks - ranging from floral soju based, tropical gin based to fruity bourbon ones. Everything tasted alright - but don't go here expecting authentic flavors - just get ur trip fix ins for asian inspired food. Also I'd skip the imperial ginger and anything that has sweet spicy description as those dishes only lean toward sweet sugary sauce flavors. Service is good but they took really long to come out with the desserts and then the check.

    Tried to go today and seems it closed down? Was a different restaurant name at the door…read more Disappointed because I came last year and was looking forward to coming back.

    5 star food and service! Next level upscale Asian Latin…read moreFusion! The located inside the trendy boutique O:LV hotel the restaurant follows the hotels lead in upscale decor and trendy music selection. Reservations are a must and I would suggest reservations inside because outside is was too hot and the view of a parking lot does not do the food or restaurant justice. What we ordered! Cocktail: Raya Mai Tai offered a unique take on a Mai Tai. The mint and coconut lead the parade of flavors for this interesting take on a classic cocktail. Short rib nachos- packed with flavor! Every nacho was perfectly stacked with just the right amount of ingredients wanting you to keep coming back for more! Plantain chorizo wonton - perfection! Not much more to say about this appetizer. Duck Pegao Fried Rice - duck confit, fried rice and sweet plantains were the outstanding trifecta of savory, salty and sweet flavors in every bite! The texture of the fried price and tender duck confit were a foodies delight. Mongolian Wagyu Brisket - tender no knife needed, melted in your mouth! The brisket had just the right amount of soy glaze, and was served with a bowl of fried white rice, kimchi, and sliced avocado. Surprise bonus compliments of the restaurant: Onion soup - served in a tiny bowl a little larger than a shot glass was a great way to get our taste buds ready for the main entrees. Dessert: Sticky Date Pudding with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and topped with a Sesame Crisp Overall, the food was rich, decadent, and packed with flavor. The service was excellent! Staff was friendly, attentive and highly professional.
