Happy Buddha's Asian Cuisine

Happy Buddha is a slightly-above-average Chinese restaurant. I've ordered take-out three times in the last few months.Service: Ordering over the phone has been easy, with no language barriers. Staff have been cheerful, polite, and efficient.Menu: They offer the same Americanized Chinese dishes as most other Chinese restaurants. They also offer a handful of signature dishes. Watch the website for daily specials, which are more likely to be creative fusion dishes.Food: The flavor has been good, but nothing noteworthy. There's a good balance between veggies and meat. On one visit, the egg rolls were crisp and tender; on my last visit they were hard on the end and tough in the middle.Hygiene: The restaurant is quite clean. I like the fact that I can see into the kitchen, and I didn't notice anything disturbing. That said, I did find a hair in my fried rice. Nebraska isn't very strict about hair nets in the kitchen, so I guess that's to be expected from time to time.What else to know: Fried rice seems to be the default.

Loved happy Buddha! The food was delicious. I ordered to go, the lady on the phone was very kind & informative of the menu as it was my first time trying! I ordered their spicy sesame chicken with fried rice +extra egg & their crab Rangoon's. So so good, I was very impressed with the taste, quality & quickness with the order! I still can't get over how good those Rangoon's are! I wanted to order more but had to stop myself haha! Me & my husband will be back soon!

We had a party of 8 for a meeting ...everyone gave a thumbs up on their meals..I had the volcanic chicken..jalapeños, onions..with steamed rice and crab rangoon ..It was about $14 (no drink) I didn't care for being food being served on a styrofoam plate good portion....they did offer some vegetarian options as well...They did have seating at a table or booth...open seating ...music and great staff! Thank you Payton for your excellent customer service!

I've been in twice now to grab lunch to-go and overall have been very pleased. Both times, my chicken dishes were crispy and hot, ready in under 15 minutes, and the portion sizes were what I expected for the price.My only critique is of the veggies in my Firecracker Chicken - there was a major lack, no pineapple or carrots, and my snowpeas were cooked to death and then cooked some more. (Though to be honest, I'd rather have a lack of veggies than more veggies than chicken...) Peanut Butter Chicken was BOMB.Customer service over the phone and at the counter has been very friendly.

Glad to welcome a new restaurant to the Twincreek Shoppimg Center. The Happy Buddha's Asian Cuisine. Owner is the same who had the Golden Bowl in Bellevue. So if you liked that you will probably like this. Not an overly large place with just the basics. Order at the counter, get your number and the staff will bring your order to the table. Only 6-7 booths and a similar number of 4 top tables. Fills up quick. Actually had visited before and it was packed with nowhere to sit. Menu has a good selection beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and noodle dishes. You can get either a single or large plate. All plates come with your choice of crab rangoons or soup. For an up charge of $1, you can get an egg roll. Also you get a 3% discount if you pay with cash. Mentioned earlier, it is really basic. Food comes out on styrofoam plates and all cutlery is plastic. Decided to go with the single plate of General Tso's Chicken with fried rice and crab rangoon. Chicken was good and rice, crab rangoon was not my favorite. Overall price with soft drink was $16.00. Definitely a decent place to eat. Come and check it out. Last thing to be aware of, as it gets colder, the tables are right in front of the door and there is no wind break. Going to get pretty chilly sitting there. Hope they correct that before the dead of winter.

From walking in you are greeted, the staff was very friendly! The decor was minimal but you don't need all that stuff when the food tastes as good as it did! My wife ordered the peanut butter chicken and split the large with our two boys! The peanut butter flavor was outstanding. My wife said it was the best she has ever had and she orders peanut butter every where she goes! My daughter ordered the chicken fried rice and that was delicious too! I had the shrimp Hunan and it had a nice spice to it. The shrimp was big and there were plenty of them! Which was nice to see since normally the shrimp is small and barely any at other places. Everything was amazing from the egg rolls and Crab Rangoon's! Even though it's a drive from Omaha, this will be our new Chinese restaurant!

What a hidden gem! I'm pregnant and was craving Chinese and this place hit the spot for me. Service: 10/10, the two guys working the registers were very kind and made friendly conversation. They called every customer ordering maam/sir and as a southern girl I appreciated it! Space: 10/10 very clean! The bathroom was also clean and fully stocked. Food: 1000/10. The orange chicken was PIPING hot and very crispy! I got the large because duh ($2 more that regular) and I wanted leftovers. I definitely have leftovers now! The white rice was fine, no complaints. My orange chicken came with two crab rangoons. They were good! My only suggestion: provide a ramekin for the sauce for the crab rangoons instead of just having it in a squeeze bottle.

I finally got to stop in and try Happy Buddha's Asian Cuisine and it did not disappoint. When you walk in, you go to the counter and order your food and then choose a seat. They have tables with chairs or booths. They will bring the food out to you. You fill your drink, get your plastic silverware, napkins, condiments, and your fortune cookie. Items are served styrofoam and doesn't have traditional tableware, but that's OK. I ordered sweet-and-sour chicken with the sauce on the side and it came with fried rice and two crab Rangoon. I love their sweet-and-sour sauce. It is thick and not watered down like I find many other places make theirs. The white meat chicken had a light batter that was crispy and everything was hot and delicious. I really enjoy their fried rice and the Crab Rangoon was creamy and sweet. The restaurant was clean and service was fast. When the owner had Golden Bowl, we used to eat there all the time. Sadly, it took a while for us to visit his new restaurant with his new co-owner, but I'm glad we finally got to try it as I definitely missed it! Two days later, I went to eat with my other son. It was just as amazing! I ate the same as previously, and my son had the Sesame chicken and we also tried the apple pie eggrolls. Delicious! Pro tip: Order the large, so you can have lots of leftovers to take home. It's definitely worth it for just a couple dollars more.

Our family has ordered takeout a few times here and after trying a few different Chinese restaurants, this is definitely our go to. Online ordering is really easy and highly customizable which I appreciate, especially with 2 kiddos who are picky at best. The last time we ordered takeout, upon getting home had realize the order was missing a rice with one of the entree. After calling them, they rectified their mistake straight away and offered to drive it out. The service is above and beyond and I did really appreciated this. Thank you!

Food is pretty good. It's very westernized Asian Cuisine but a good value. Staff is friendly and the food is cooked to order. It's better than most other options I've found in the area for this kind of cuisine.
