★★★★☆ 4.0 Pranjali Sharma · Oct 2025

This restaurant was better than I expected it to be! The food is pretty americanised but it is tasty. We came here on a Wed afternoon and it was packed! There is lots of parking in the area. They also have patio seating but I'm glad we sat inside because it was super hot outside during the afternoon. They have lunch specials which are total worth the price. We got the chicken egg foo young with egg drop soup lunch special and the schezwan string bean with pork and hot and sour soup lunch special. Every lunch special comes with fried rice, an egg roll and a crab puff. The egg rolls were very good. The crab puff was ok, we would have liked more crab stuffing. The soups were excellent. You won't go wrong with either choice. The fried rice was average. I have had better fried rice in other C

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jason McCracken · Sep 2025

Staff was very friendly and helpful 5/5 there. Food was good. I had the Orange Peel Chicken, Taiwanese Beef, and the Szechuan Fried Rice. Everything I had was good. I enjoyed the Orange Chicken the most. Coming from LA, I found the prices very affordable. This is a good spot with a friendly vibe.

My wife and I popped into Big Buddha for a Sunday lunch and left seriously impressed — this place delivers! The lunch specials are a total win: big portions, great value, and food that actually tastes freshly made (not just reheated takeout vibes 👏). We started with their sweet-and-sour soup, which was the perfect warm-up — tangy, a little spicy, and so comforting that I kind of wished it came in a bigger bowl. For mains, I went with the Mongolian Beef, and wow — tender beef, a rich sweet-savory sauce, and a bed of crispy noodles that added the perfect crunch. My wife ordered the Shrimp with Vegetables, and her plate was loaded with plump shrimp and colorful veggies swimming in a garlicky brown sauce that was seriously delicious. Each lunch combo came with rice and an egg roll — simple,

★★★★★ 5.0 Nico Eeman · Sep 2025

This is our go-to to-go Chinese restaurant here in the West Valley, hands down. We have been going to this place since 2018 and it has never disappointed! We have yet to sit down for a meal, but they generally have your food ready within 15-20 minutes when placing your food order over the phone. I highly recommend calling them directly over using the online ordering as it features higher price on the website (Third party upcharge). Our favorite meal is the House Fried Rice which features Pork, Beef, Chicken and always at least two jumbo shrimps, you can't go wrong with it. Our kids (and myself too!) love the orange chicken as well which has such a tangy and delicious sauce which I drizzle over white rice! They are generous with their soy sauce and always have a crazy spicy mustard upon

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Alex AZ · Feb 2026

I ordered takeout from Big Buddha Restaurant: orange chicken, Snow White chicken, and chicken lo mein. The food was okay—flavors were decent but nothing special or memorable. Portions were on the lower side and didn’t feel fair, especially for the price. We ended up paying around $50 plus tip, which seemed high for what we got. Also, I requested an upgrade from regular rice to fried rice, but they only upgraded one of the two rice sides despite confirming it. Pickup was quick, but I’d recommend checking your order closely. Might try elsewhere next time unless they improve consistency and value.
