Customer Reviews
Right off the water and great atmosphere for sushi and Japanese beer. Wife’s birthday dinner. Fresh eats and our server Kilanii knew how to beer pour and served our every need. Wonderful, friendly, and timely service. Five stars all the way. Food was delicious!
Jason and Nolan my goats. Kindest most amazing servers out there. Nolan saw our group after we left taking pictures by the pier and told us we forgot a birthday present at the restaurant, skateboarded back and grabbed it for us. Jason too was the best server you could ask for. My goats fr.
Buddha’s Favorite is such a great sushi spot! I met up with a friend for dinner and we really enjoyed everything we tried. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was friendly, and the food was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the crispy tuna — it was a standout!
Let me start off by saying the food was really good. The poke tasted fresh and the miso soup was very good as well We had a group of 10 and we all didn’t have any complaints about the sushi itself it was very good. But the service wasn’t that great. They took a long time to take our order and the food took a long time as well, and when we did get our food it came staggered. Some food came and others were waiting for 15-20 minutes for their food after. They weren’t really attentive to our group. We had to get up and ask for ginger because they didn’t come to our table much. But the sushi was excellent and the place itself is nice and next to the water. So that’s pretty neat.
This is hands down the best sushi that I've ever had. I love the fresh wasabi and salmon carpaccio was absolutely delicious. I also like the fact that I got a custom role made the way I want it with salmon skin and gobo. The service is great Nicole her staff get 2 thumbs up
