The food here was good but honestly it was the service here that made it unforgetable! We had the nicest server. Our server was Marsha and she was so nice and welcoming. I have been to many restaurants and nobody has ever been this nice to me. Marsha is an asset to this establishment and i feel like she was the jackpot at sycuan today. I plan on coming back to this restaurant mainly to see Marsha again. Thank you SYCUAN! Please recognize this amazing human being. Marsha definitely deserves it! read more

Cute place, nice atmosphere. Food Was solid. Customer service could be better. Had a lot workers with long faces all standing behind the register. I was immediately turned off by that but we wanted to still give the food a try. Ordered salt and pepper wings, house fried rice, lumpia and dim sum. As other reviews mentioned you order your food and take the number to your table (which is fine with me). The disappointing part they drop your food and run. No small plates , no napkins or even to check how the food was. Management needs to work with team members to be active on the floor versus standing around idle. read more

Omg they have sigsig tacos! These are so good. Crunchy, fatty yummy. I think they should add onions, cilantro and a better sauce, but the core is fantastic. read more

Pink Buddha - Sigsig tacos - Chinese Near Me - El Cajon, California

Definitely coming back! We tried the shrimp walnut, sisag tacos, and crispy beef. Food was delicious 10/10.

How can food be this amazing!!!!! Everything tasted just incredible and the staff were friendly. I can't wait to come back! We got the spicy pork, shumai (?), and beef skewers. They were amazing. And the service and attention from Jeff was above and beyond. Give the man a raise! read more

Highly recommend the Shrimp Pad Thai! The staff is great and the food is consistently great!

This place is underrated, the food is really good and very affordable for a casino. We have tried a lot of the appetizers, dim sum is amazing, both shu mai and hau gau, the peppered wings are amazing, the won ton soup is my favorite, the bento box is a great deal. Everything is great, service is great as well. Love this place, and who doesn't think a pink Buddha is awesome?! read more

Enjoyable experience in Sycuan Casino. Clean Tables for dine in or can get food to go. Ordering is same whether dining in or getting takeout. You order then get a number to put on your table if dining in. Food will be delivered to you but no one waits on you or checks on you. The food is good. It was a but slow though. Mongolian beef is a must try, Flavorful and uses good meat:) Shrimp tempura and lumpia have good flavor but a little greasy. The wonton soup is good with shrimp beef and chicken all inside DO NOT TRY THE CURRY. It is literally coconut milk with little curry, it is very off putting and my SIL actually got sick after eating it. I believe they were trying for a Thai coconut curry but totally missed the mark! It is an ok place to eat, cleanliness is probably the best quality of the place. Service is slower and workers not so friendly, but hey its more of a take out style establishment versus fine dining so you get what you pay for. read more

Everything we tried here was sooooo surprisingly good! -veggies egg rolls were crispy and juicy on inside -California roll pretty big pieces -UBE CHEESECAKE was the winner!! Can taste the ube flavor and the cake was not too heavy -Asian pear martini was strong and sweet and the edible hibiscus inside was delightful -large pho with rare steak and brisket and mushrooms is perfect choice. Meat and mushroom both tender and broth is on point -Mongolian beef is good texture and flavorful blend of sweet and savory The service was great! The waiters are all very friendly! Beautiful and unique ambiance for either date night or cute vibe with friends. Don't know why this place isn't higher in ratings. We will for sure come back next time we hit up Sycuan! read more

Amazing food! This is by far the first place inside a casino that my husband and I actually have nothing bad to say at all. Like the food is phenomenal and surprisingly quality! We were visiting San Diego for the weekend and decided to go to Sycuan Casino just to pass some time, decided to try Pink Buddha's pho and my husband can't stop talking about it lol. Thanks for the experience! We will definitely come back to Pink Buddha when we visit SoCal! read more

I had some delicious fried rice after an event I was working and man it was GREAT! I loved the set up and vibe of this place.

Two stars only cuz my friend enjoyed it the flavors, but I waited this long for this!!?! I was super excited, thought it was going to be a sit down restaurant w servers taking our orders with family serving portions to share like most Chinese places are. With the prices, it seemed that's what I was going to get. Nope. Order at the counter and take your number to a table. Someone brings out your order and it's individual servings. Look at the portion sizes. For the prices, I'll never go back again. I had the ramen, and it tasted like instant noodles I make at home. Bring back the waiters/waitresses and family style dining!! I miss the old house of fortune So disappointed read more

This is a great find with unique food, inside Sycuan casino. This was our first time visiting, and the food did not disappoint. Typical of restaurants in the casino, if arriving during a busy time, expect to wait for a while. We got lucky as we arrived at an off time and were seated within 15 minutes. The food was delicious, but the service was quite slow. We were there with family visiting, so we didn't mind the wait. If you're in a hurry, though, you might want to try something else. The variety was good and the food was delicious and fresh when it arrived at our table. it was nice to have a good variety of things to try. The inside atmosphere was fun and fresh. read more

Now you don't have to come to @sycuan_casinoresort just to gamble. There are plenty of amenities such as fine dining, spa, pool with lazy river, live music and so much more! As for dining options, our favorite is definitely Pink Buddha! The food here is delicious and the ambiance is remarkable. The food matches the decor. Everything we tried was incredibly delicious, but the Leche Flan was a showstopper! Wow!!! They even have an Ube Cheesecake which we will be back for . Pink Buddha is a casual dining restaurant which offers a Pan-Asian cuisine with influences of Thailand, China, Japan, Philippines and Hawaii. The menu is a mix of noodles, fried rice, pho, stir fry and many more dishes. You've gotta try it! What we tried and loved Kung Pao Chicken w/ Fried Rice Bulgogi Beef w/ White Rice Lumpia Leche Flan FETA | food_explore_travel_adventure read more

Kelly at the Karma Lounge is an AMAZING server! She is knowledgeable of the menu items and handled my special requests with the utmost respect and conscientiousness for my unique dining needs. Kelly's sense of humor made our dining experience exemplary! Because of her, I became a member of the casino and am looking forward to frequenting the Karma Lounge at the Pink Buddha. I will always ask for Kelly's section; she is absolutely incredible! One of my BEST dining experiences! read more

Awesome workers awesome food all around a 5 stars!!! The dining area is very nice as well as the bar dining area. Just a good atmosphere. They only open Thursday thru Monday I believe. Should be open more days. read more

10/10! Our waitress, MILEY, is always super friendly and provides great customer service. The food is great. Highly recommend the chicken lettuce wrap as an appetizer and the bulgogi as an entree. The Thai tea boba is a great along w their alcoholic beverages. Tried almost everything on the menu and never been disappointed. read more

The rice was dry ,it doesn't taste like traditional Asian food , the beef skewers were pretty good though and flavorful, however it was overpriced for the lower quality and smaller portion. It was almost 20 bucks for so little. read more

My absolute favorite place to go when I visit Sycuan. Absolutely fresh and delicious. I have an a had a bad thing yet. Their portion sizes are large I absolutely love the Vietnamese sandwich. The orange chicken is also a close second. Definitely give it a try when you are visiting Saquan read more

I have mixed feelings about this place our cashier was so rude and made no sense. The cashier who was working 8:30 pm on 7/16 named A******! Rude rude rude. My friends and I after gambling came here to try this out. The place aesthetically is a cute concept but was shortly spoiled by the rude cashier the waitresses are pretty good and nice food is decent. The issue at hand was that the rude cashier said my friends could not sit at the table until after we ordered food but he went to go to sit down because we were paying for dinner and not need him to wait with us and we were already at the cashier area and not like waiting in a long line. If there was an issue with seating arrangements there should be a sign but mi nd you I am sitting here and there are plenty Of tables and seats and guess what all the other people did the same thing and did they get a talking to ? So confused by this behavior and lack of customer service The manager was nice enough to come out to talk to us after we asked to see her she is good but the cashier needs re training that is my recommendation or move her to a position that is not so public facing. I am also gonna email casino host relations as I said there are going to be other casino guests who are far more demanding and will not tolerate that rudeness. - when is the rest of the food court opening ? And yes for the wor wonton Soup should have more than 2 wontons in it. read more

The food was okay and the manager was very respectful but the cashier that helped us, "Anet" either needs to be retrained or fired. This lady gave us attitude for my partner that sat down early when we started ordering our food. There was no sign saying we need to order first then sit down. In addition to that, there were so many empty tables, what was this stupid lady expecting us to do, move and sit again when we finished ordering a minute later? There was no need for attitude. I seriously hope management does something about this lady. read more

Good atmosphere, Marsha must be the best bartender/ server, organizer in San Diego. The value is fine, food is HOT. The small bar off to the side is warm and competitive with special drinks if you want them. read more

Food is mediocre at best - much better choices elsewhere. We had the house fried rice and imperial chow main and both lacked flavor.

Food is great. Service is Outstanding. Cashier Teresa was very helpful in accommodating our group of 10 guests. Highly recommended.

Lobster Tempura delicious whatever this sauce is i need more of it in my life. This is now my go to order and i know i will not be disappointed. $35 is really a fair price for the plate. read more

I've ate here four times , if You wanna dine in you pay at the counter and if You want to go option is available I've had the chicken wings, lumpia, pancit, chow mein so far everything had been delicious I've had the beef skewers definitely highly recommend to sit down and enjoy the food vs to go . I can't wait to try other options on the menu and I'm fed come and eat here again Thank you Sycuan ‍ read more

Amazing food ! I had the pork belly it's delicious spicy and just perfect !! We always stop there to get food .

I had the fried noodles with shrimp, beef and chicken . The sauce was , in my opinión, salty. It had very little veggies . I would eat here again. My husband had the orange chicken , and the sauce was skimpy. 3 extra dollars if you want the fried rice instead of white rice. read more

If I could give it a no star I would. I waited almost 30 minutes for my pho to go and received it cold. It was only warm enough to make the raw meat look old. I like my food rare but not raw. This is the second time I went to this place and it gets worse every time. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Seems they're still working out the kinks with the ordering or need to scrap their current method and come up with something more effecient. The line wasn't really long but the wait to order was. There were 6 of us and we ordered a plethora of food and all.of it was tasty. I will definitely be back when they get the line and ordering under better control. read more

Some of the best pan asian I've had in a while. If your at Sycuan you have to try food here!

The worst Chinese food I have had in years. No marriage of flavors the orange chicken was over cooked and had no flavor The walnut shrimp was mediocre had little flavor Portions are small The appetizer were the only things edible Never again read more

I love the design and feel of this place. The pink Buddha's are fun and the atmosphere is clean and modern- the moss planter, the fun flowers on the wall. the big comfy seats. It has all of the making of a great restaurant, except the food sucks and it is way overpriced. The pricing of entrees for this restaurant should be more geared towards a sit down dining experience, however you order your food at the counter, and you're left feeling unsure if they are going to call your number overhead or not. We ordered walnut prawns ($17), bland Mongolian beef ($17) absolutely disgusting lettuce wraps ($12); that looked like dog poop, the lumpia however was good, but the masubi we ordered had NO flavor! The spam wasn't crispy or flavorful. They could of added a dash of furikeke on the top. And lastly, a California roll. Nothing memorable. Nothing delicious. All of the food was served on pretty pink plates, some with banana leafs which was a nice touch. At these prices I expect to 1- feel full, 2- enjoy the food. Also, because there's no table service, it felt awkward asking the cashier to refill the water (for which they just gave us a whole new plastic cup- not very environmentally conscious which bummed me out). Disappointing to say the least, I really wanted to like this place. It's very nice inside, wish the food matched the ambiance. read more

Enjoyed the flavors. Very friendly service. Didn't take long at all to get our food. Seemed like a good value

I ordered spicy garlic chicken, imperial chow mein, and wonton soup. Let me tell you, I've never eaten anything, anywhere, that is as bad as this place. True asian food aren't like this and they're just taking your money, the cashier even charge us twice and now I have to call to get this figured out. It was so bad that my boyfriend and I couldn't even finished it even though we tried because we didn't want to wasted any food. Garlic chicken was soggy, it has a weird after taste, chow mein has no seasoning except oil, wonton soup was not a wonton soup, just water and salt and other weird seasoning. I could have gone to costco and got myself some instant wonton bowl, or to panda and still would be better than this place. Overall, not happy, I'm sorry but this is not what authentic Asian tastes like. read more

Didn't try the food but 5 stars to the top customer service from Amanda and Charmaine. One of the dish is salty to my friend so when we were asked by Amanda, he told what he thought and she really insisted to refund what we paid for that dish (even though he almost finished it). I am adored by this so much read more
