" What a letdown! After hearing so many good reviews, I expected so much more from Golden Buddha. The food was average at best, with a distinct lack of flavor and the prices are astronomical! I felt like it was a waste of money, and the service was spotty at times. Sadly, I don't think I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Buddha offers good food but it came at a high cost. The orange chicken we ordered was super crispy, yet I found the portion for the price a bit lacking. The atmosphere was casual, making it a decent spot for dinner after a long day of work. Overall, I found it decent but I'm likely to explore other local options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Golden Buddha has some good dishes, not all items blew me away. My last visit had a hit-or-miss feeling. The fried rice was on point, but the dishes with sauce seemed overly sweet. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was good, but for the price, I expected a more cohesive meal experience. It’s worth trying, but keep your expectations in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Buddha is a staple for me and my family. The consistent quality of the dishes keeps us coming back! I love their chow mein, and the portions are always filling. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, which elevates the entire meal experience. The only downside is that it can get crowded at peak hours, but it’s well worth the wait most of the time. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent visitor, I noted a dip in quality during my last visit. While the portions continue to be substantial, several dishes seemed overly salty. I love the atmosphere and the staff are usually efficient, but I hope they return to the high standards I've come to expect. I’ll keep visiting, but I’d like to see them improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Golden Buddha, I decided to pay a visit. The décor is charming, but the food was slightly underwhelming for me. The flavors lacked the punch I was expecting, especially compared to what I had come to learn. Prices felt a bit steep for what I received too. Perhaps I will try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. I had heard rave reviews, but the food didn’t live up to the expectation. The prices were higher than other local spots, and though the portions were large, the flavor didn’t match. The service was a bit inattentive, and I had to flag down my server to get my drink refilled. I don't think I'll return unless I hear significant changes have been made. " (*Curated Review*)
