I enjoy their veggie lo mein. The decor is dated, more of a hole in the wall. I've tried the hot braised wings extra spicy and they were good. A little on the sweeter side for my taste but overall pretty solid. read more

I haven't been here in awhile because I moved. Now they serve on paper plates. I ordered vegetable lo-mein. Large portion and good flavor but I took it home to add vegetables. read more

Happy Buddha Restaurant - Vegetable lomein on pretty paper plate. Lol only a little onion and a little broccoli. - Chinese Near Me - College Park, Georgia

First time and Probably my Last. The food was ok After a Long Wait for dine in. Our food didn't even come out together And the Service was horrible. I never been to a restaurant that serves food on paper plates for dine in Service, that Just didn't sit well with me.And the Ambiance needs a little work as Well. I can see why everyone was doing pick up orders read more

Had an uber eats credit set to expire and was in the mood for Chinese. Got the sesame chicken special dinner with plain fried rice, an eggroll, and hot and sour soup. My order was ready in 10 minutes and piping hot. All of the food tasted delicious and I don't see why people gave negative reviews, but that's just me. They also pack things really well. read more

Happy Buddha Restaurant - Sesame Chicken Combo Dinner - Chinese Near Me - College Park, Georgia

They are rude ASF. I went during lunch. Ordered the lunch and was charged for a dinner. I explained and the lady got smart with me when I said I won't be back . She said to me I don't care. Last but not least they don't even ask do you need anything while dining. They don't clean and their restroom is nasty. read more

This is based on a DoorDash delivery. The delivery was quick and smooth. Everything arrived hot and was well packed. I'm staying in a hotel and called the restaurant to make sure they included cutlery, and everything I asked for was there. As to the food: Hot and Sour Soup ($3.75) - Very good. Spicy with an emphasis on black pepper taste, which I like. Chicken Dumplings (steamed) ($7.75) - 6 nice sized dumplings that tasted great. The dumpling itself was not dried out. Excellent. Seafood Combination Deluxe ($17.95) - combination of shrimp, scallop and crab (I assume the crab is the imitation crab typically found at restaurants), with broccoli, small corns, carrots, mushrooms, snap beans and water chestnuts in a brown sauce. Very good. Comes with white rice. read more

I've been meaning to shout out this gem for some time now. Even though the 98% of the menu I have not experienced yet, and even though I've yet to dine in, the 2% I always get is enough for me to have no problem recommending Happy Budda. It took me a minute to find em but I am never disappointed with the chicken wing fried rice. read more

Unassuming and hidden unless you are aware of location. Plenty of indoor restaurant seating. Free and ample parking lot. Genuine Chinese food with all the varieties. Fast service when ordering to go onsite and also offers online ordering. Food was fresh and hot. Order contained General Tso's Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken and Veggie Egg Roll. One order is generous with enough for two people, based on appetite. The fried rice that comes as part of the entree is more like brown rice by look and not the look of fried rice. read more

Had the shrimp egg fu yung and the texture of the patty was rubbery and wrong! Just wasted money on food I couldn't eat

The place smells really bad when you walk in the door. Just that weird rotten smell. The food was very bland. Not bad just really bland.

This is my 5th time eating from them ordering family size wings and rice BUT only receiving 2 duck sauces for a FAMILY MEAL!!! It's unacceptable, stingy as fuck and plain right money hone hungry!!! Won't be going back!!! read more

This may be the best Chinese in the country. I used to go to them when they were on Stewart Avenue forty years ago. I am an old restaurant guy and I recognize quality and freshness and lots for your money when I get it you get all of those here. I tried something I never had before last weekend called the Phoenix. It's still enough rose from the ashes to perfection. I'm glad they moved. The old neighborhood was just too dangerous, but I will be back weekly. I hope this helps you if anybody knows some please somebody find me some good ribs some good meat, tender ribs. All my real places have closed up or moved to Alpharetta. I ain't lost none up there. read more

Went and stood in the front for 10 minutes that's way too long for me to wait for lunch so I left. I used to enjoy this place, but I guess if no one wants to serve me I won't come back read more

Love this place! Owners are so nice. They know my order when I call. Food is always made to order. Old school ambiance which is super cool. My go to place on most times! read more

I ordered this evening Peking ribs and a barbecue ribs dinner combos w/fried rice I received fried rice absolutely zero taste, but if you are on a low sodium diet, it will be good for you because it's basically white rice with a splash of color or just plain brown rice I don't know. The ribs on both of the plates taste exactly the same and they were not ribs. They were just chunks of pork! for my side. I got 1 chicken flat and a mini eggroll and was for two dinner orders. The food was not worth the 25 steps I had to take to walk into the restaurant. NO NEED TO TAKE another photo plates later and taste exactly the same‍ read more

Happy Buddha Restaurant - Fried rice with mystery pork plate - Chinese Near Me - College Park, Georgia

Cute little Chinese restaurant in College Park. FOOD: I was feeling adventurous so I had the fried lemon chicken with fried rice. This was different, but tasty just because I love lemon. The fried rice is just that. Nothing extra, just rice. My friend had the veggie fried rice with broccoli beef. Appetizer we had veggie egg rolls and chicken wings which were both and tasty. The ambiance was cute and cozy inside. There were not a lot of customers so we were seated and served without issue. Our waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and attentive. The bathrooms were A+ Clean! I liked it overall and would like to try some other dishes next time. read more

I usually order on door dash , however we went to go inside . There were fruit flies all over the place. The windows and the silverware were dirty . I was shocked because I always order from here but when you go in person the cleanliness is horrible. read more

This review is based on an Uber Eats order. I have never physically been inside this restaurant. I have lived in this area for 13 years but never ate from this restaurant. Passed it many many times but never purchased a meal. I was hungry one day wanting Chinese Food and decided to use my Uber Eats. I ordered Manchurian Egg Fu Yung, and a Pu Pu Platter. The platter came with Shrimp Toast, Chicken Wings, Barbecue Pork, Egg Rolls. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Couldn't eat it all of course. The Egg Fu Yung was very delicious and not under cooked like some restaurants like to do. I requested extra gravy and they complied. Everything was neatly packaged and there was nothing leaking in the bag. That was a big deal to me because Chinese food orders always leak due to the sauces and gravy. They supplied plenty of hot mustard, duck sauce and soy sauce. No stinginess. I enjoyed it all. read more

The food is overpriced and just plain awful. Prior to Covid this place was okay, not anymore.

The food was greasy and unpalatable. Never again will I order anything from this restaurant. The Pupu platter had food I couldn't even chew. The Hot Braised Shrimp had so much breading on the shrimp I could barely find actual shrimp. The sauce was gloopy and saccharine sugar sweet. Don't waist your money. read more

When arrived there was no one to great us. When the lady finally came, she said we had to order at the paying station. Everything was in disposable styrofoam when dropped off at the table. The chicken and vegetable was meh. Not a very exciting experience. read more

I ordered online and the service was quick and easy. I was told 15 minutes, but was excited that my food was ready way before. The business is still COVID frequently, so you aren't allowed to dine in, but that worked for me because this is my break food. The customer service was spectacular and all needed utensils were in the bag prepackaged for me. I wish I only remembered to grab extra duck sauce as I am not a huge fan of soy sauce. I will definitely revisit this restaurant. I ordered beef and broccoli and crab Rangoon from the lunch special. read more

Happy Buddha Restaurant - Beef and broccoli with crab rangoon - Chinese Near Me - College Park, Georgia

I was looking for a different Chiniese restaurant in my neck of the woods. And I have to say Happy Buddha Restaurant impressed me on the first try. The parking lot is pretty raggedy, theres potholes so beware and dodge them carefully. Parking is pretty unorganized but you can get in there. The inside was clean. Their dining room is closed due to Covid regulations. They do require a mask when you enter. The customer service is great, the young lady at the counter is very kind and fluent in English. I ordered two eggrolls, eight piece chicken wings, hot and sour soup, and shrimp egg foo yong with shrimp fried rice. The eggrolls were very tasty, full of cabbage. The eight piece chicken wings were crispy and seasoned very well. The hot and sour soup I didn't like it ,it was very bland. The shrimp egg foo Yong was great. The patty was big and the gravy was nice and brown not a sauce. I would definitely return to this Chinese restaurant and recommend it read more

The food was so delicious, haven't had Chinese food like this for a while. Service was good, went later on a Sunday evening, food came out hot and delicious. Lighting was a little low, kinda felt sketchy, but to my surprise the food was so good. read more

Delicious Chinese food, great portions, and good price. Always consistent and quick service.

Not so great. Something odd about the taste?Old oil? Both my husband and I felt full before eating a lot and it created bloating. Meat was tough and cut really small in the cashew chicken. Beef Noodle dish was not good. Looked like egg noodles with tough beef and weird brown sauce. Ok to pass on the one. read more

I eat here often and is one of my neighborhood favorites. The owners are wonderful people and go out of their way to ensure the customer is happy with their order. Because of the personalized treatment they always give me, I do not go anywhere else for Chinese food. The temperature of the food lets you know it's fresh and the flavors are excellent!! Your food is handled with the highest level of care and it is definitely cooked to order. Happy Buddha is the best in the area!!! They deserve 10 stars! read more

Happy Buddha Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - College Park, Georgia

Food is really good and flavorful, prices are affordable. you can even dine in, and be served, staff is friendly.

I ordered my food to go, nice restaurant with ample parking and a cozy atmosphere. It was just okay, my food was a little tough and lacked flavor which surprised me due to the reviews. I will try them again, maybe it was an off day. They do give you a good amount of food so that was a plus for me. The next time I go I will update my review. read more

Food had no flavor,ribs were under cooked, rice was blah I would not even feed this to my dog.

Been here a few times and I must say this is one of the better takeout spots in the area. This time I had the basil chicken lunch special and it was on point!!! Fast and friendly service too. read more

This place is a NO for me. The food is just as tired as the outside looks. My partner and I have lived in the area for sometime and finally decided to give this place a shot based on all the good google reviews. My mistake! We decided to make a low risk investment and only spend around $30 bucks lol. We ordered the garlic chicken w/steamed rice, vegetable fried rice, fried wontons, bbq spare ribs, and roast pork. The garlic chicken looked old and gross, we decided not to eat it out of fear of food poising. It honestly looked a day or two old... as for the steamed rice I assumed it would be white rice as that's what I got with every other garlic chicken order I've had before, but nope. It was brown and sad. Vegetable fried rice was bland, but we made it work with soy sauce. Fried wontons were disgusting, the filling was dried up and inedible, bbq spare ribs were the tastiest thing we ordered and the warmest, all other items arrived cold. The roast pork was gross, visually it wasn't what I had in mind. Meaning it did not look roasted and I could barely make out what was the pork. I am so confused by all the good google reviews lol. I'll stick to Yelp. read more

Stayed at the Quinta Inn & Suites for a local exam close to the airport, and found this gem during our two night stay. We went directly to the website, and ordered through their system: BeyondMenu, and picked up our order. They were prompt with their service and SUPER REASONABLE and the portions were generous to say the least! We ordered: 1. Chicken Corn Soup ($1.95) - got it extra spicy as I was sick and it definitely hit the spot! For $2 - easily A STEAL! 2. Crab Rangoon (6 pieces - $3.99) - So big! Not the best crab rangoon I've had, as there was more outside shell vs. inside filling, but still was good for the price! 3. Hunan Beef (Hot and Spicy - $8.75) - favorite entree, spiced well, and good amount of meat! 4. Curry Chicken (Hot and Spicy - $7.95) - really good portion, probably was my least favorite dish out of the bunch, but was still good! 5. Mandarian Fried Rice ($7.55) - We didn't realize how big the portions were - but we got 3 chinese containers of the fried rice - we ate it for 2-3 meals - HONESTLY SO WORTH IT! For the price, I definitely would recommend this as your local Chinese go-to restaurant! On top of the great pricing, the food was all tasty and spiced correctly! I really love the portions, and the quality & quantity is definitely way above average for a Chinese restaurant! Cannot speak for in-house dining, but in terms of pickup/delivery, this place is great! read more

If crab rangoons were Dollar bills, arrest me now Or I'll rob this bank. read more

The worst chinese food I've eaten is from here. Fried rice was dry and had very little flavor. The general tso chicken tasted like it was fried in dirty oil and the sauce was not tasteful at all. Same nasty oil taste in the egg roll. read more

I have been a LOYAL regular customer at this restaurant for years, believing in the importance of supporting local business. I am 63 years old and unfortunately am a Cardiac Patient after undergoing a heart procedure in 2014. Consequently, I am careful when ordering, seeking healthy options, for example "Low or No," additional sauces, sodium, lightly stir fried. My daughter ordered an Orange Chicken entree (for herself) today. Upon returning home and preparing to eat, she noticed the cuts of Orange Chicken were quite sizeable. Upon cutting to eat she/we discovered that the majority of the cut was 3/4 heavily fried batter, with only 1/4 being chicken. In addition, some cuts were batter only, with no chicken. We called Happy Buddha indicating the issue, asking to return to exchange the dinner for something healthier and our request was unprofessionally and unkindly denied by the owner who quipped, "No one complains about what we serve. Everyone eats happily." I should also mention I had just ordered a healthy dish of vegetables the night before. I kindly expressed my displeasure, indicating I will never return. For anyone who is health conscious, I would recommend a different restaurant. Last, I am the only one in my office who continued to support Happy Buddha. Others stopped eating/ordering from them because of concerns expressed about their low scores from the Fulton County Department of Health. I'm in Public Safety and several in our inspection section say they do not eat at restaurants that have a score of 89 and lower. Happy Buddha falls into this subset. I just checked on Yelp for the latest Health Score earned by Happy Buddha, and wished I had known prior to patronizing Happy Buddha Restaurant today. Yelp indicated, per Hazel Analytics which is referenced as quote, "A leading provider of Health Department data analytics," that Happy Buddha Restaurant on Virginia Ave. received a Health Score of 71 (seventy-one) effective September 28, 2022. Furthermore it was indicated as an improvement from a previous Score a month earlier, on August 30, 2022 of 56 (fifty-six). read more
