Great sushi, nice menu selections, and fast service. I've only ordered carry out and have not dined in. It has a small dining room and seems to always have patrons eating in with seating still available so that's an option for future visits. read more

We were looking for a local joint to pop into before a movie, when we found White Buddha after a quick Yelp search. I don't frequent the Anchorage area often, so I did not know that this place existed until finding it online. We are big sushi lovers, and man, theirs did not disappoint! In fact, for how small of a place it is, I was impressed with how many different options of rolls that they had. They also have other items on their menu if you're not feeling sushi. I ordered the crab rangoon roll - a personal fave of mine - and this was the best one I've had... huge portions and drizzled with sweet chili sauce... yum! I also appreciate the size of the roll, as one was the perfect size for a dinner portion and not too small like it can be at other places. The owners, or at least I think, were running the shop and were very friendly and accommodating. Make sure to pay them a visit so you get to experience their fantastic food! read more

White Buddha - their side of rice is a HUGE portion! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

It lightly.... Had to take a couple days to decide how to leave a review. This place came recommended by a close friend so didn't expect to feel disappointed. For the money spent, it was not okay to spend so much and not eat. The gentleman working there at the counter was very nice and was pleasant to talk to. The food... I don't know. I guess since it was the end of the night but still... we ordered to go after leaving the Kawaii Candy & Karaoke Elite event... still hot but it was kind of a hot mess. I refused to take photos of the food just added into my sorrow. An order of chicken and one shrimp fried rice- both so over cooked and seemingly recooked and just out too long.. the rice was just mush in both orders. The crab Rangoons two orders came with three- but they tasted really bad like weird and the texture threw us through another dimension. The firecracker shrimp didn't get eaten either... Instead of the sauce put on the side to add once home it was drenched- but made it so soggy there was no saving it no way to do anything with the goop breading. I just gave up. I know the lady who came out the kitchen looked irradiated but people were picking up to go orders when we came in... I know it was 40 minutes or less before closing so... I mean I get it I apologize for wanting to try the place for the first time while in the area- literally across the street... but it's going to have to be super early and in a little while. Heard nothing but good things so I did expect a lot I guess and that's on me... I will try it again and early in the day when I do. My daughter ordered something else but she didn't like it. I want to give it another go... I think it's one of those cases.. have to try again. But we won't order so much. We always order tons to try when we find a new place. So yeah.. less spending next time. read more

Thank you Yelp for helping us find new places that are close to my house. A group of us were wanting to get dinner before catching a movie and they suggested White Buddha. The restaurant is small with only 5 tables inside but we didn't mind it. It felt more personal and we didn't have to worry about a loud crowd. The servers were fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and always came around to check on us. I went with the cucumber roll and it was great. Everything was very fresh. I also had their ginger salad and it was also good. My husband ended up taking part of the salad and he loved it. I was surprised how inexpensive everything was. 2 rolls and a salad only cost me 20 dollars. I thought that was a steal compared to other sushi places I've been too. I highly recommend White Buddha read more

Fantastic spot! Portions were large, sushi was very fresh and everything was delicious. Would highly recommend if you are looking to get hibachi or sushi in the area! read more

Good service. Nice customers. Small, but powerful! Texas Roll and Lily Roll were both accurate and delicious. Two rolls, iced tea, and tip = $30 read more

I'm visiting Kentucky for a volleyball tournament and when I thought of Kentucky I wouldn't think I could get some of the best Asian food here but they superseded my expectations. Great food and outstanding customer service . The Hibachi with shrimp was amazing! This was my 1st time at White Buddha and they offer large portions for lunch I was more than satisfied. I would say it was a nice lunch. I will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant!! If you're in the downtown Lexington area you definitely need to give them a try! read more

best sushi/hibachi spot in Louisville. huge portions, great price, staff is so polite too. i go here every week.

Fantastic! The owner is so sweet and the food was fabulous. Huge potions and awesome service. Can't wait to come back!

We ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi and it was delicious 10/10! We also ordered the gyoza and they were super yummy too! It's a small little hole in the wall type place that the owners wait on you and you get the best service and food! Highly recommend! read more

I was let down with this one. So much hype. I should have expected a let down due to the build up. The space is very small so eating in can be uncomfortable with the number of to go orders waiting. The food is fine. It is Asian food that is not any better or worse than other hole in the wall spots. The service is unremarkable in that it is a level that is expected at any dine in restaurant. I won't be back because there are Asian restaurants of similar quality that are closer to home. read more

White Buddha deserves to be "Best of Louisville". Plenty of sushi and hibachi options await you whether it's carry out or 1 of the 4 booths available for dine in customers in a modern, quiet and super casual atmosphere. The staff is always super friendly and the food is SUPERB! read more

Always a great spot for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff and great quality food. Never disappointed.

i have been going here for awhile and it is very good. the yakisoba noodles are so good and i love the serving sizes, including the sushi.

I know that the term "hidden gem" is overused... but in White Buddha case, it describes them perfectly. Tucked back in an unassuming strip mall, they are easy to miss. I found them one day for lunch. The restaurant is small, maybe 5 booths or so, and at the time of my visit their menu was even more limited due to supply issues. I entered and was met by a very nice woman, who seated me and presented me with a menu... Since it was my first time, she gladly went over my options and was apologetic for not having certain items. I told her I completely understood and ordered a Spicy Tuna Roll and a Crunch Munch Roll: Spicy crab, cooked shrimp, tempura flakes with spicy mayo... Both rolls were very good... It is not every day that you find such quality sushi in a strip mall, but today I found it at White Budda. I am glad they are close to my office and I look forward to trying other menu options in the coming weeks. As a side note, one of my colleagues had eaten there a few days earlier and had one of their Habachi dishes. She said it was very good as well. read more

Great food and service... they go out of their way to make what you want. He knows I like a lot of heat to my rolls so he makes me extra hot sauce for me.. great tasting with heat. read more

So glad we stumbled across this place. Just moved to a new part of town and have been searching for a new staple hibachi place, this will be it! Started with the moonlight roll wich was spicy crab and cream cheese all tempura, it was delicious. The portion sizes are HUGE! More than enough for 2 meals, and you can't beat the price. 10/10 recommend giving them a try if you're in the area! read more

Their food is fantastic and the service is amazing. We like their teriyaki salmon and their steak (filet) that I get teriyaki style.

Place is super small. 4 tables. I wish I had taken the hint as a sign to go somewhere else. I ordered the Las Vegas Roll. It tasted more like a Fairdale flip flop roll. I ordered the Gyoza. Supposed to come with 5 dumplings. Mine had 4 , which was fine because I was only able to stomach eating 2. Easily, the worst Asian cuisine I've ever had. In fact, gas station sushi with an expired date would have been better. read more

The food was tasty and were good portions. The service was quick. There were a couple booths giving you a quick place to eat. read more

The restaurant, though small, was very clean and well-decorated. The owners were welcoming and friendly. Service was good and the meal was delivered very quickly. I enjoyed the Lily Roll which was excellent, at par in taste with Japanese restaurants in big cities! We also ordered a dinner dish which came with a hot tasty soup and a salad. Their serving of the chicken with noodles, veggies and fried rice was humongous and really good! We had food leftover which was enough for another meal for two! Really! We plan to come back for another meal and recommend you try this awesome place!! read more

Amazing food every time! Super friendly staff and very homey on the inside. Everything we have tried has been nothing short of amazing. They add on a few new things now and again so that is also a plus. Can't wait to get back there! read more

Had calamari and sushi rolls and was delicious. Owner was fun and friendly. Thank you

Wonderful food and wonderful friendly people service is amazing, I drive forty five minutes from my house just to go their and eat

Had a quick and delicious lunch at White Buddha today. There's slim pickings for locally owned lunch places within the vicinity of my school, so I was stoked to discover this spot today! It's small inside - there's 4 tables and a cash register. We (rookie mistake) ordered at the register then sat down, when it's actually a table-service style restaurant. No biggie! Our food came out in 10-15 minutes - we each had a sushi roll, as well as gyoza and fried rice. The sushi was fresh and very filling, and the gyoza was perfect. The woman working was so friendly and provided great service to all the customers. They also offer hibachi, which I'm looking forward to ordering in the future. read more

Great food, Great service, Great owners. We've been several times now and it is consistently good. We usually get hibachi Teriyaki chicken and the steak. Quality cuts of meat. No fatty etc. Teriyaki chicken is perfectly flavored, Not overbearing like some teriyaki can be. Love the salad dressing and the mustard sauce over the rice. Had sushi rolls here before also and they were excellent! Give them a try, but off times can help, as it gets busy and not a ton of seating. read more

I love going to White Buddha. I typically get the lunch special with shrimp and steak ($13-$14) or the shrimp and chicken ($12-$13). The lunch plates include meat, vegetables, and a ton of rice (fried or white). I typically get the fried rice. The food is delicious and last me two meals usually (because they give you so much food). Also, the staff are very friendly. Make sure to get the delicious Yum Yum sauce. I'm sorry I have no pictures for you but once the food is ready, it's so good, that I normally eat it very quickly!! read more
