    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.

    Here you can see the white fibers in the tuna from the Sashimi Deluxe. I couldn't tell if it was bone or tendon.

    Ordered the sashimi combo and the fish was horrible quality. It tasted fishy and was full of tendons. I am not one to send food back ever, but I had to have them rectify this as it was half the fish in my meal that was not suitable quality. They did fix it quickly and were quick to get us the check, but I am severely disappointed in the food overall.

    Rainbow roll, scorpion roll and hot and sour soup! So delicious!

    Such a nice atmosphere, and the food is so delicious! What a gem! Highly recommend great place for family, date night or business lunch!

    Crispy Duck Roll

    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.

    The cook tossing a piece of food into the moth. Lots of fun. While the food was cooking.

    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.

    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.

    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

    A very spacious and inviting atmosphere. The menu is large, almost too large. The hibachi chef was a master and did a great show for my grandsons. Food was delicious but the fried rice is an extra. They do offer a lunch special menu I am going to try.

    And this is with the pile of onions back in the bowl after I ate the 5 pieces of beef.

    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.

    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

    What is a table fee? My kids went there and was charged a $15 table fee for 2 people?

    That's strange we're they the only (2) at the Hibachi station I don't remember a fee but we were a large party

    What does putting money on the statue represent?

    Catholic idol worship

    Usually I head to the same AYCE sushi spot at Asahi sushi so I wanted to try a new one. Come to…read morefind out this place is under new management. The new owner is the same as Asahi sushi. Sooo the food was just as tasty and fresh but had some different items which was nice. Inside is roomy and cozy. They had a small bar area and they do serve alcohol here so it's not BYOB like at Asahi. It was a tad slow on service but considering that only the owner and another waiter working that night so that's understandable. Overall it's a solid place for AYCE with a bar.

    Another chance, almost there…read more.. I gave Sakura another chance to impress, and ordered takeout once again. While the quality was good and we didn't have any yucky pieces of fish, they missed the mark a bit. I got the beef teriyaki for my son. He said it tasted great, and he is somewhat of a connoisseur for steak teriyakis. I was also impressed with the portion of steak for the price. Plus, the accompanying vegetables were actually ones he eats (carrots and broccoli). However, the miss here was that they forgot to include the white rice that comes with it. Very frustrating! I'm not gonna call and point this out, and I'm not going to drive back just for white rice. It's just inconvenient and frustrating. We ended up cooking a cup of white rice for him, so he had to wait ten minutes either way. The sushi and sashimi for two tasted good. All fresh, fresh fish. Similar to my last comment, I wish they'd put more variety in the platter. With so many fish to choose from, in a platter of this size, it would be so much more exciting if a broader sampling was given. Instead, I'm given 6 or 7 pieces of the same fish when combining sushi and sashimi. Other places will give no more than two of each fish. So, not perfect, not bad, and we'll see if they can impress in the future

I brought my wife here for our post-birth sushi date after hyping it up to her for months, and it did not disappoint. It's always great to be warmly greeted when you walk in and invited to grab a seat. Our server took our orders and gave us some excellent recommendations. My personal favorite is the Angry Dragon Roll, but we also had the Honey Roll, and the sleeper hit of the day: the Jersey Devil. That last one wasn't our first choice, but the server suggested it--and we're so glad we listened. We started with crispy noodles served with duck sauce and hot mustard while we waited. We also ordered two sodas to accompany the meal. When the sushi arrived, it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the first bite, the Angry Dragon was packed with flavor. The shrimp tempura and fresh mango combo is a win every time. The Honey Roll was just as fresh, with beautifully prepared shrimp. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and was plated immaculately. But the real surprise was the Jersey Devil. It was deep-fried, still warm, but somehow not mushy at all. The inside stayed intact, giving each bite a perfect texture. By the end of the meal, we were stuffed and had no room left for dessert. Bonus: Don't forget the daily buy 2, get 1 free deal on specialty rolls--makes for an affordable, high-quality date. 5/5 stars--definitely coming back for more.
