I bought several piece's when I shopped there 12 years ago and I still have the timeless pieces that still look like new. Highly recommend!

Very beautiful orchids that are reasonably priced. Great customer service from Lan! I will definitely be coming back!

First time here and regrettably we didn't speak Vietnamese.. Phone translator put a smile on her face and mine. We found a beautiful arrangement for a friend's Celebration of Life that's 3 weeks away. It is perfect so I asked if she would hold and care for it.. Beautiful orchids and arrangements. I did get myself an orchid for my work space. read more

No one here speaks English, it was so bad I had to use google translate and I'm not sure if they understood because the person working there only shrugged their shoulders. It's very disappointing because I had planned a large purchase but ended up going to a different store where Sales Staff seemed interested the customer and spoke English read more

Great services! The arrangement of the flowers was done at the time of purchased as a courtesy. Convenience for taking Zelle as a form of payment. Thank you read more

My mom and I went to this shop to buy a small lucky bamboo plant since Lunar New Year is almost here. The shop owner let me pick out which bamboo stalks I wanted for the arrangement, which is 3 small stalks for $1, and 2 medium stalks for $1. He told me how to take care of the plant, such as when to water it and how much light it needs. For the arrangement, including the bamboo, vase, luck charm (for the Lunar New Year festive spirit), and pebbles, it was only $5, which is really affordable compared to retail stores and some local florists. The place also sells bigger bamboo plants, orchids, small bonsai, and various other traditional plants. The bamboo arrangement I got is really cute and it sits in its new home with my other plants (photo). Also, when my mom went to the supermarket nearby and I had to wait for her, the owner got a chair for me to sit on so that I didn't have to stand outside. My mom told me about how my grandma used to come here all the time for their orchids and I think I understand why, because the owner is really kind and friendly. read more

Sweetest shop owner with beautiful florals and incredibly reasonable prices Super memorable visit to this Viet owned small business

GO HERE FOR ORCHID CENTERPIECES!! Not only are the prices unbeatable, the customer service is exceptional. John delivered the centerpieces to venue without charging me extra. I requested a specific type and orchid colors (to match the bride bouquet) and he answered. Not only were these orchids the exact colors I wanted, he got huge ones. The wedding guests were impressed and most wished they were able to take home the centerpieces. John is such a sweet man who truly enjoys what he does! read more

For the past 10 years, this place has been my go-to orchid shop. Not Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc. I go here because the owners are kind and fair. You also can't beat their prices. If you are interested in orchids but are intimidated, the owners will walk you through how to care for them so they blossom season after season. They always have a variety of orchids to choose from and will help gift wrap them for any occasion. My mom is an orchid whisperer so variety is important. They located in the T&K market plaza (right side of the supermarket). read more

Beautiful arrangements that last forever and the incredibly sweet owners were so helpful. I had never put together an orchid arrangement before, and they walked me around the shop, showing me their suggestions, and were just so delightful. They carefully put the orchids together into one basket with colorful wrapping and a card. I loved my experience here. Highly recommend. read more

A review long overdue. I initially found out about this store probably much like how you came to be reading this review: typing "orchids" into the yelp bar. That was last year and up until that point, my main method of purchasing flowers of any kind was through online websites like 1800flowers. I figured the upcharge was worth the convenience. Thank god I finally came to my senses a year ago and started to look for things locally. My experience mirrors the other reviews in that I got great customer service, quality orchids, and an insanely low price. During my first visit, I was thoroughly intimidated. I didn't know the differences between the types of orchids, what a fair price was, or even that the size of the pot actually mattered and it wasn't just about the design. The owner was sure to give me a rundown through everything in a friendly manner and you could tell he genuinely loved his job. Owning a shop honestly seems to be more about giving him a chance to arrange orchids for other people and less about making any money. After realizing I had no business picking the flowers for the arrangement myself, I opted to select a choice from his photo album (definitely ask for this if you want to get ideas) and we arranged the pick-up to be made one week later. Coming from online websites, I was fully expecting to pay over $200 for the arrangement. He quoted me less than half of that. I was floored and started kicking myself for paying the ridiculous prices at online retailers. At ANY other online store, I'd get less flowers, shorter stems, a higher price, colors that aren't as vibrant, or all of the above. Oh, and you'd DEFINITELY get it with a basic pot. Saying I was happy with my purchase is a severe understatement. Fast forward a year later today and my mom's birthday totally slipped my mind until the day before (sorry, mom!). I didn't have the luxury of waiting a week but I still wanted something that wasn't just a single orchid. I asked him if he would be able to complete an arrangement by today. Keep in mind it was about 5:45 PM and they close at 7 PM so I was fully expecting him to say no. He laughed and said he'd be able to do it in 15 minutes easy. I chose the arrangement, colors, then left him to his devices. Lo and behold, he really did finish in 15 minutes. I was afraid of what he'd ask for this time considering this was practically a rush order. At any other flower shop, I'm sure I'd either be asked to come back the next day or be charged extra since it was less than an hour to closing time. Nope. He charged me the same price per stem as last year. I seriously don't understand how this shop manages to stay afloat because there's no way they're profiting from anything. I gave him an extra $5 because I felt like I was scamming him. Maybe you don't realize how huge that is but I don't tip. At all. Anywhere. Whether it's a $5 bill or $100, I don't tip my waiters. That's how bad I felt. Next time, when he's asking me for my budget, I'll be sure to say at least $100 at minimum (sorry I'm still cheap). tl;dr Go to this shop for your orchids. I promise you it will be your go-to store for years to come. read more

The couple that own Smile Buddha Orchids is very nice and have a great selection! The prices are slightly negotiable but not always. I bought a fragrant white Dendrobium Kingianum from them. It is currently growing strong producing a new growth for me! read more

One of the best places to buy flowers or plants!!! Every time I visit the owner usually has a new shipment of plants . I would recommend everyone that is a plant lover!!! The prices are also very reasonable and worth for the quality. The flowers the very beautiful and uncommon compared to other popular places. read more

We arrived before the shop was fully open but the cute man opening up let us in to take a look because we were in a hurry. He did a beautiful job freshening up our selections and putting all the finishing touches for a gorgeous finished product. He was so thoughtful and sweet and gave us a great package deal. Had a lovely experience here! read more

I had a good time here. The service was friendly. I ended up buying three additional orchids becuase of the quality and good prices. All the orchids survived the long drive home. Im happy with my purchase. read more

My wife and I had a great experience here. The owner is a nice sweet man who really takes pride in his orchids and how they look. He gave us a good deal on four sets of orchids for Mother's Day. Good thing we didn't go to a random grocery market! He gave us a way better deal and they were beautiful. He took extra time to make sure the flowers were arranged perfectly. Our mothers loved the orchids. I know where I'm going for my next orchid purchase! read more

I came here the other day along with my grandmother because both of us are orchid fanatics! Living in the Orange County area, nurseries that are dedicated to just orchids are a needle in the haystack. Not feeling like going to San Diego or Los Angeles I found this place with a simple search of "orchid" on Yelp. The location is right next to the supermarket in the Pagoda Plaza. It is very easy to find due to the large display of plants in the front, but is also conspicuous because the store has no large visible sign. Upon walking in we were presented with a school of phalaenopsis orchids ranging from the purist whites to splatters of violet and magenta. If you want a simple orchid, then there are a lot of colors to choose from. However if you're a hobbyist like me, the store contains many specimens of dendrobiums, oncidiums, and my favorite, cattleyas. One thing for sure though is that they do not carry the same flowers in stock all the time. Every two weeks or so there are always new exotic plants that enter the premises. The kind man and lady who own the establishment kindly greeted me and my grandma, offering us insights of how their store came to be, where they source their orchids, how to care for them, and aiding in which orchid is appropriate based on your circumstances. A pro about this place is that they also do not throw out their orchids once blooms have dropped. Although the orchid has lost its luster, it is very much alive. And due to the lack of blooms, the price significantly drops! (Hooray for discounts) so if you're confident enough to pick up these bloom-less orchids and provide them with love and care, they'll surely reward you with blooms every year. PS me and my grandmother left the store with a pink phalaenopsis and a yellow dancing lady oncidiym read more

This is another divey store near the big grocery store in one of Little Saigon's plazas. Based on my quite limited knowledge of plant pricing, this place seemed to boast sales of orchids and other exotic flora for fair prices equivalent to or less than Trader Joe's (~$20 for a good-sized orchid), although sometimes the quality was lacking. Plus, the owner is quite attentive and friendly and willing to please. I was saying how this little flower plants ($2.50) would be great little centerpieces for a wedding (either one or one per person so everyone can take one home!). She said then and there that she would give me a good deal. However, I let her know I wasn't quite there yet in my life's trajectory. All the same, if/when I get there and I'm in LA and want to keep things cost-friendly, sustainable (plant centerpieces rather than cut flowers), and cute, I'll be back. read more

After visiting a couple of orchid shops in Westminster that were a bit rude, we stopped by Smile Buddha, whose owners were extremely accommodating and friendly in making an orchid arrangement for our mother's birthday celebration in mid July. The orchids still look the same as when they were purchased a month and a half later-- very healthy and vibrant orchids! This is a small shop tucked at the corner near the supermarket in Saigon TK Plaza, but it is definitely worth it. We will continue to buy our orchids from Smile Buddha! Thank you so much! read more

I was looking for a wedding gift with orchid arrangement so I entered the shop. The owner Julie and John are both really friendly and helpful. They also added butterflies to the arrangement and give me a discount too. I really feel like their friends right away. Julie Also told me a lot about orchids. I will definitely go back again. Thanks Julie. read more
