We made a quick stop into this small and its almost time for lunch. We got the Miso Ramen, Salmon Teritaki, Angry Dragon, Honey walmut chicken. All are good and meet our expectation. The place has generous space and looks clean. Staffs are nice too and very helpful with our questions. The only thing that I think that needs to improve is the straws that came in with the drink are not individually wrapped. Still, you must try this place. read more

Located in the palisades mall on the top floor. Typical hibachi place with your typical selection. Food is fine for what it is. Service is okay, they just seem to be trying to move people in and out as quickly as possible. read more

Stopped by Little Buddha at the Palisades Mall -- food was fine, pretty much what you'd expect from a generic Asian fusion spot. We had ramen, sushi, tempura, and one of the usual chicken dishes -- all decent, nothing amazing. The space is huge and nicely decorated, and the staff were really attentive, which honestly made the experience better. Good spot if you're already in the mall and want an easy sit-down meal without a wait. Don't go in expecting authentic, but it gets the job done. read more

Tried Little Buddha this past wknd. We only had the restaurant food NOT hibachi. Pros, they seated us right away, food was served quickly and the staff was very attentive. Large with ample seating. Nice decor Cons, tasted like regular chinese food which we don't eat often. Food had crazy coloring causing suspicion in my end. Although it was not busy, we felt rushed as if they were anxious to clean off our plates and table. Not my kind of place truthfully and would not return. read more

Good food, good service, good presentation. Its habachi and the normal Chinese food menu items, I will return, the food is good!

The expectations of some of these reviews inside a MALL restaurant... Overall nice experience. We were seated promptly and we treated very lovely by the staff and the manager (we did have my adorable nephew in tow, the waitress and manager doted on him all night which he loved) The food is what one might consider superior quality fast casual Chinese and Sushi takeout - it hit the spot, was tasty & fresh. I'd got back on the service alone! read more

The service That I received was deplorable, Literally the worst customer service I think I've ever had at a restaurant, I dont recommend at all!..Spend your money elsewhere where it's appreciated..On top of that, to me,the food was mediocre. read more

Came here just because we happened to be in the mall and wanted something different to eat. I was pleasantly surprised how great this restaurant is. The service and the food are great. The chef was funny and entertaining. I live near three other hibachi places but will still drive the extra 25 minutes to come to this place. read more

Overall, good experience. The food was definitely above average. The steak was done to perfection and the chicken was very good too. The fried rice was also above average. The lo mein had a different taste than the average lo mein, but was good. Prices are on the higher side, however, the portions are very big. I would recommend splitting a meal between two people, then it is more reasonable. Also, they do not offer free refills on sodas so be prepared for that. Definitely was not a break-the-bank night though. Service was good. The hibachi people were fantastic, but the waitresses themselves had trouble understanding orders and got a little bit frustrated. Overall good service though. Keep in mind they add the tip in automatically. The ambience is cool. It is set up to look like the inside of an Asian temple. Interesting place. Definitely a fun place for parties. If I'm in the area, I would come back. read more

We went to celebrate my daughter bday and she loved it. They made her feel so happy to be there. The food was delicious they even surprised her with ice cream candle cake, that she loved. It was a bit late so we got a table once we walked in that was a big plus cause we were all starving. The place is well decorated, with a big Buddha to represent. read more

Was shopping at the Palisades Center and stopped in Little Buddha and had a good lunch. Very broad menu and efficient, friendly service. We had the Crispy Duck Roll and Twin Tartar to start - both excellent. For our entrees, we had the Shrimp and Scallop Hibachi combination and a couple of special rolls and a couple of regular rolls. All were solid. Overall a great place for a sit down meal while at the Palisades Center. read more

Been here few times now. Mostly have done the hibachi but this time decided to try out the seafood broil. Overall it's pretty good/average. Not something I would crave to come back or anything like that, but it's an option because the mall doesn't have any seafood option since Joe's Crab Shack shut down. We had 2lbs of snow crab legs and order of clams and another order of fried seafood combo. You have to pick a sauce and we did the garlic butter. They still asked how spicy so told them not spicy. When the food came out we can see there was spice which I wasn't expecting for garlic butter blend but it was ok. The crab legs were a little on the skinny side but meat was good. Clams were so tiny but still tasted good. The fried seafood was super salty with barely any meat so I would not order it again. FYI, the hibachi is just any ordinary hibachi with bare minimal showmanship. The usual volcano, throwing of food in mouth, and some slaps of the cooking utensils. Whole process is very quick and if you just want to eat and skip all that, this is the place to go. Overall solid 3 star. If they improve some stuff here and there, I would give it 4. read more

Not too bad. I've had better, I've had worse. This was just ok. The rest of the family had hibachi and seemed to enjoy it. Service was quick and the chef who did the hibachi put on a great show that was engaging for the kids read more

This was our second time here...the first was last mother's day and it was an okay experience. The service is just okay but food was fine. We went this past weekend and I ordered the Mongolian beef and I think the picture says it all. There's at least 3 onions in here and probably 6 small pieces of beef. It was inedible and the waitress could obviously see that and said nothing. With tons of restaurants in that shopping center. We won't be back. read more

If your in the palisades mall, this is a great place to try for lunch . Great and fresh sushi , you can see the chef making the sushi if your sitting in the back . We had the general Taos chicken , sesame chicken ,sushi and some cocktails . There is usually no wait for a regular table . The habachi tables are usually more busy If you want decent food at a decent price and don't want fast food this is a great option . Staff is friendly and approachable Kid friendly read more

Got the seafood boil here. I've never had prawns before, but I know if I'm ever craving it to come back here!

Delicious food and great service. The restaurant was nice and our chef was great! He had such a great personality. We really enjoyed our dinner. read more

First time coming here, never coming back again. To start off we got hibachi table, and assumed we would get simple things that come along with hibachi, such as fried rice and such. Fried rice is an extra charge, which i've never been charged before today. I ordered cali roll and pointed at something that wasn't that but never got corrected or asked if thats what i really wanted. Then on top of that at the end when we got the bill the bill had an added gratuity of 15%, which is fine if we has good service. Got ignored most of the time and didn't get the bill until after everyone already paid, and mind you we already finished eating. The place was very beautiful, but the service was mediocre and not worth all that money. Hopefully things change. read more

We would just like to commend Little Buddha's great food and menu. It was absolutely amazing! From the pricing and selection, I would definitely recommend! Also, we were absolutely pleased and completely satisfied with our server Tracy! Her attitude and obvious love and passion for her job is so noticeable when she first greets you! Thank you Tracy! We will definitely be back!! read more

My wife and I have been here 5+ times and always have a great experience! The left side is for sit down dinning, but we always come for the show! AKA Hibachi! Our chef is always great! Very entertaining! One of our gripes with Hibachi, is things that used to be included are now an upcharge, want rice and lo mein? $3 extra. They do not hide it, but I remember when salad, soup, rice, veggies, lo mein, entrée and dessert were included for 1 price. Prices go up over time, we get it, but let them go up, dont make things an upcharge. We have done most of their Hibachi options, and they are all pretty good, never had any issue with them. Filet tastes better than the steak, but it is much cheaper lol! They cook the meat to your liking, and they always do a great job with it. YUM YUM sauce is life!! It is like Chick-Fil-A sauce. You do not know what it is, but it is such a great enhancement to your meal, that you don't care! I always ask for both sides to be YY sauce, and then at the end, I ask them to pour a ladle full all over. Make sure that you tip the chef!!!! All in all, a fun experience. If you go earlier in the day, it will be less crowded. If you like dinner and a show, this place is for you. read more

I guess I will start off with my soup. It was definitely to salty and to oiley. I had the teriyaki chicken which was super bland and tasteless. So was the vegetables. I feel like they used the teriyaki sauce to cover up for the lack of flavor. The shrimp shumai was just okay. The only good thing was that they had a lunch special on a Saturday with a pretty good portion. read more

Great food, great service, great everything. It is so nice here and the food. Loved it. Definitely should go here.

PROS: This place is one of the greatest hibachi locations I've been to. The waitress Tracy was very helpful and punctual with the orders. The chef was very fun and talented as well. Food tasted great, like always, and everything was priced reasonably. The variety on the menu was also very strong. CONS: Took a while for the chef to come by and they only have 1 person bathrooms which can cause a back up. They also only take reservations for every half hour, not within the half hour OVERALL: Highly recommend this place. One of the best restaurants in the mall read more

The food here was mediocre at best. The hibachi was pretty bland even though we watched them use garlic and soy sauce. They charge $4 extra for fried rice and the fried rice had absolutely no taste. The waitresses reach in front of your face to grab cups and bowls even if you are still eating. The staff was inattentive, we had to constantly grab someone to refill our drinks. read more

Horrible from start to finish ...asked for a sapporo beer which was poured into a dirty glass w lip Mark's on it. Ordered hibachi for 4 and barely got any rice or noodles because THEY messed up 2 people at our table ..then when I said something about it he said that everyone got the same and if I wanted extra we had to pay... meanwhile at the other tables they had heaping mounds of both so he finally reimbursed me $7 for two orders of fried rice. The rice and the noodles were salty as heck as we could barely eat it probably never ever going back there again only went there because it was conveniently located at the mall read more

Nice ambiance. We stopped in for a quick bite and were pleased with our decision. Great food and service!

Fun fun fun this place has a great atmosphere good for groups children will also enjoy the entertainment the food is pretty good but the plum wine was everything. I would definitely go back the chef was hilarious and the sake didn't hurt lol! Check this place out you won't regret it! read more

https://youtu.be/5Ehmu13AICo Checkout my video to see a vlog from the restaurant and what kind of food I ordered! Now onto the review... I always walk past this restaurant and never went in until my little cousin suggested we try it out. The interior is gorgeous- very modern, dark, great ambiance. Tons of decorations and expensive looking decor. We were seated in a large booth and basically had the place to ourselves. We ordered two clear soup, naruto roll and chicken pad thai. The clear soup was very good and aromatic - it was chicken broth with fried shallots and sliced fresh mushrooms. My entree was the naruto 1 roll which was a cucumber roll with no rice and spicy tuna and avocado. It was so delicious and lowcarb! Perfect for people on keto (like me). My cousin got the chicken pad thai which was a little sweet, charred and tasty. It came with a side of peanuts. The service was great- very attentive, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back! read more

The place is great for a first date or maybe a group of friends. The environment of the restaurant is great. I order two Mai Tai's and unfortunately one drink looked great and the other one was very bubble.... Like if the glass wasn't wash well with and soap was still in the glass. (I didn't drink it at all) The food had nothing special. Bland and didn't looked appetite at all. Absolutely nothing special. overpriced for tasteless food? Nope I'll skip this restaurant. Overall 2 stars only because of the place and staff read more

Little Buddha - Mai Tai - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Nyack, New York

I love the food here and I come all the time. The reason I am leaving 2 stars is because the lady that took care of us, we asked for water 4x never brought. We gave a 20$ tip to the guy that cooked for us, 32$ automated tip to the server that was charged on the bill. When we paid, she said, "Aren't you going to add moretipsp because you only paid 15%. Df you mean we only paid 15%. We have already given 52$ in tips. My fiance fell embarrassed and gave her an extra 20$. So now we have given 72$ in tips. That was very unprofessional to request additional tips when we asked you for water 4x. read more

At the front desk the lady was very accommodating and friendly. Our party opted for the hibachi on a Saturday evening and the wait was only 10 minutes! Overall a great time read more

Nothing special, not worth the money. I don't even think it's even hibachi .. the Mai tai was dark (never seen that before) .. so don't do it.. skip it .. I complained to the manager first thing out his mouth was I should've sat at the hibachi grill.. mean while the guy at the front told me it was the same thing and I told him that and he was still mad at me because I didn't like his food smh.. I got a 50% discount and went to Chilis to eat ...FYI my mom makes better hibachi at home!!! read more

For my first time coming to Little Buddha. The Lychee Martini actually taste like a lychee martini with a blend of lychees inside. The food was very good and the portions were a good size. The service was very attentive and made sure to ask if anyone has any allergies to any food. Furthermore, the ambiance is good as well. I rate this place an 8/10. read more

The food was delicious, well priced, and came out super fast! People are complaining about service but I think they need to realize that not all cultures are like their own. For example it's been expressed to me that Russian people struggle to trust Americans because we smile so much even when we are not happy. Which seems to them like we are being dishonest. That said, if your waiter seems a little blunt. . take a little time to read up on their culture P.s. Sushi is sizable and fresh and they dont overload it with rice. read more

Little Buddha - Pad thai and Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Nyack, New York

Aw it makes me sad that the first few reviews have such low ratings. I understand everyone's experiences are different. I visited today (a Wednesday, after Election Day, around 4pm). Maybe that'll explain why I gave the restaurant five stars. The moment I saw this restaurant being fixed up, I thought to myself, "this one better freakin' last." I said this because every restaurant that happens in that very spot ends up shutting down for some strange reasons. However, I have high hopes for Little Buddha. The set-up alone is something that catches your attention even as you're passing by. It's dark, it's mysterious, it's romantic, it's nice, and the best part? The waitresses and hostess are so sweet. Everyone knows I love Thai food, I was not going to pass up the opportunity to celebrate picking up my degree here. I was alone, which was kind of sad because I felt like someone should have been there with me to enjoy the deliciousness that was the Sauteed Thai Basil with Brown Rice (I recommend this 100%), as well as the Shrimp Shumai that I got as an appetizer. One thing I love about Thai food is that they give you plate full and it is enough to fill you up and leave you some to take home. You get exactly what you're paying for. Shirley was my waitress, ask for her if you want. She is a sweetheart. They are on the pricey side but not too pricey. They are perfect for groups and they have tables that light up (I'm sure I could have explained this much better). It is just stunning. I loved the statues, the music was at a good volume where you can enjoy the company you're with (I'm assuming here, I was alone, remember). Oh, they even have private hibachi rooms. How f*cking amazing is that? I love how intimate that is. read more
