The larb salad is incredible (I get it with chicken), as well as the ginger salad, clear soup, tom yum, chicken satay skewers, beef noodle soup, basically everything. My dad swears by the pad see ew and my grandparents love the massaman and penang curries. I hadn't had much (if any) Thai food before trying Mama Ning's, but now I am hooked and honestly it's become probably my favorite overall cuisine in general! Whenever I visit I know I can trust it will be fresh and I can get something healthy but also incredibly tasty. Plus they use gluten-free soy sauce so it makes my life a lot easier aha. Thank you for your amazing food, service, and atmosphere! I already know I'm coming later this week haha

Very disappointing experience today. We ordered several things and our order was correct -but that…read moreis the best thing I can say for it. The others in our group might have liked their menu items -so they can write their own Yelp reviews. My choice was the Thom Kai soup and I ended up throwing it away. There was a grayish watery, somewhat sweet soup broth without the coconut flavor expected in this soup. There were some small pieces of chicken and there were raw mushroom slices floating on top of the broth. I was so disappointed because I was expecting a rich traditional broth- full of the flavor of coconut and other spices. I would not order this again and I won't be going back there soon.

The Athens subreddit seems to like Buddhas Delight. The location was home to a couple other Asian…read morerestaurants and the Athenians like the location and new owner. Proximity to Costco is a bonus so we decided to give it a try. This is not a traditional looking Asian restaurant, it has some Asian decor but it more reminds me of a United Airlines lounge. The menu is big but not huge and has all the things you would expect. Also helpfully the menu has descriptions of what you will get when you order. Even the standards are different from restaurant to restaurant so it is good to know how a new to you restaurant interprets, say, generals chicken. Also there are daily specials, check the board. We were seated quickly and our server checked bak frequently as the the owner. Ordering was quick and soon the food arrived. We ordered lunch specials (main, fried rice, bring roll, soup) and some pot stickers. The potstickers were correctly cooked, hot, and with a good dipping sauce. I will say though we should not have ordered them because the lunch portions are huge, so we did wind up taking some food home with us. Megan had the hot and sour soup which was hot, sour, and peppery. I had the egg drop which was bright yellow and tasted like an egg. The spring rolls were well cooked and tasty. I had the generals chicken. The sauce was great because it was not too sweet. The chicken pieces could have been larger and slightly less cooked. This was a large portion with plenty of good vegetables in it too. Megan loved her Mongolian beef which was tender, well cooked, and had a light and delicious sauce. Also had plenty of vegetables. The fried rice seems like the typical lunch special fried rice from a vat, but it was good. Overall I highly recommend you give Buddhas Delight a try!

A New Chinese Restaurant with Real Potential--But They're Still Finding Their Footing…read more Opening a new restaurant is never easy, and it shows here. The good news is that they already have several dishes that are genuinely excellent. The less-good news is that a few recipes and the overall dining experience still need some work. The encouraging part? Most of the issues are very fixable. Let's start with the highlights. The Crab Rangoon is outstanding--crispy, creamy, and easily a 5-star appetizer. The Mongolian Beef is another winner with great flavor and generous portions. One thing I really appreciated is that most entrées include a good amount of fresh vegetables instead of just meat and sauce. Unfortunately, some of the signature dishes miss the mark. General Tso's Chicken should be a perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, spicy, and rich garlic-ginger flavor with a glossy glaze that clings to crispy chicken. Instead, the sauce tasted more like a generic brown sauce--almost no sweetness, very little heat, and none of the bold flavors that make General Tso's so popular. The chicken itself was also overcooked, losing the crispy-yet-juicy texture you'd expect. The House Special Egg Foo Young was another disappointment. A great Egg Foo Young should have crispy golden edges, a fluffy interior, and a thick, flavorful brown gravy. This version was simply a fluffy omelet covered in a thin brown sauce. It wasn't bad--it just wasn't really Egg Foo Young as most people know it. The Appetizer Sampler was a mixed bag: * Crab Rangoon: Excellent. * Shrimp: Crispy, crunchy, and well cooked. * Dumplings: Very good. * Chicken Wings: Nice crispy skin but almost no seasoning. * Vegetable Spring Roll: Crispy wrapper, but the vegetables inside were overcooked and mushy. * Potstickers: Too chewy--almost jerky-like. Thankfully, the sampler came with two dipping sauces that elevated several of the items. The Egg Drop Soup deserves a mention as well. It arrived piping hot, was flavorful, and earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The Biggest Opportunity: Service This is where management has the greatest opportunity to improve. We arrived at 7:00 PM on a Friday, and there were only four occupied tables. We were seated immediately, our drinks arrived quickly, and then...we waited. After sitting with menus for about seven minutes, our order was finally taken. The Egg Drop Soup arrived several minutes later, and because it was so hot, I ate it slowly. By the time I had finished, we were still waiting for our appetizers. Nearly 30 minutes after being seated, they finally arrived. My wife, who was facing the entrance, noticed what was happening: a constant stream of takeout orders leaving the restaurant. It felt very similar to a fast-food restaurant where the drive-thru gets priority while dine-in customers wait. After finishing our appetizers, there was another long wait before our entrées arrived. Meanwhile, two tables had already left, new guests had been seated, and one of the empty tables still hadn't been cleared nearly 30 minutes later. The restaurant appeared to have only one waitress covering the dining room. She was genuinely friendly, worked hard, and did everything she could. This didn't feel like a server problem--it felt like a management and staffing problem. A little more attention to the dining room instead of focusing almost exclusively on takeout orders would make a huge difference. Final Thoughts This restaurant is closer to being very good than you might think. They already have several dishes that I'd happily order again, and in some cases they're better than much of the Chinese food available in Athens. If management can: * Refine a few signature recipes (especially the General Tso's Chicken and Egg Foo Young), * Improve consistency on some appetizers, * Balance dine-in service with takeout orders, and * Add a little more attention to the dining room, they could easily become one of the better Chinese restaurants in town. Current rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars The food shows flashes of excellence. With a few recipe adjustments and better service management, I wouldn't be surprised to see this become a solid 4 1/2-star restaurant in the near future.

Our choices were to split the Beef Shanghai Noodles and pan fried dumplings. Service was quick and the noodles arrived first. Indeed it was entertaining to have the robot cart roll up to our table. We're used to a thicker noodle but having a chow mein style noodle didn't affect our enjoyment. The bok choy seemed very fresh. The dumplings followed a couple of minutes after the noodles and were piping hot and came with soy dipping sauce. Perfect. The place is not fancy yet it makes for a nice lunch break. Two final niceties: they validate parking (use the QR code), and Dumpling Master gives you the absolute best disposable chopsticks ever. I was 'this' close to taking them home with me.
