Big Buddha

It is OK. Like Jackson stated. It’s OK.

Very clean and friendly! Orange Chicken, House Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken are excellent tasting and seasoned to perfection! Best Chinese food in Surprise, AZ!

Would eat here again. Semi above average chinese for arizona. You will like this place if you like normal chinese food thats slightly better than panda. The place is pretty small and more than 2 people waiting up front becomes awfully cramped but I’m not there for the awkward closeness to strangers I’m there for food and it was pretty good.

Always good for take out. Have never been disappointed! Have note dined in the restaurant but it is always busy.
Recommend highly!

Today was the first time I ate at Big Buddha. Let me tell you it was AMAZING!!! From the moment they answered the phone for my order to the time I was walking out it was the best customer service I have ever gotten! Which was refreshing since we had such horrible service from Jims Burgers down the street! The food was AMAZING! Ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken-​was of the highest quality! Fresh chicken, crispy on the outside and tinder on the inside! Mongolian beef was great! Hot and sour soup was great! Even used the coupon for the egg rolls! We will now become regulars here! Thank you for being a local restaurant that sets the standards in Surprise!

Great food great service, sux that it’s kinda hidden I’ve been missing eating there because I had no idea it was there and I’m within walking distance. Asian work force there which helps ring authentic to me. They are like family now do yourself a favor get cha some!

Big Buddha it’s always amazing! I have eaten in, taken out, and it’s always quite good.
Over time, I have not noticed a changed in quality either way. It’s just extremely tasty food and my number one choice for Chinese if you’re in the Surprise area. A nice little Surprise I recently noticed is that they still gave us soup with our takeout, on top of the eggrolls and fried wontons which I wasn’t even aware was part of the lunch special. Plenty of food, excellent price and quality.
Do yourself a favor and go, I can’t imagine you will have anything but a great experience.

Orange chicken was so good and free egg rolls? Yes please! Totally different than the other guys! Looking for a nice local sit down Asian spot, look no further!

They were on it with the service, my soda glass never got empty and the wait staff were extremely friendly and provided my little granddaughter with all the fortune cookies she needed to keep her happy while we ate.
The food was fresh, fast and yummy. Four of us ordered different items off the menu plus 2 appetizers. All of us agreed this place is on our list to return to. Side point-​the bathroom was spotless!

Really just think this place is okay. Tried it twice because we lived around the corner. But not great.

We are visiting from California and found this place via Unilocal, what a find! It was 30 mins before closing and their servers were prompt and polite. Ordered a quick appetizer of pot stickers, yummy, served with a great sauce. We then had Kung Pao chicken with white ricr, wow, one of the best Ive ever had. White meat chicken, perfectly cooked veggies and the sauce was perfect with a lil spicy kick! When we come back to Surprise, AZ we are definitely making a stop here!!!

My favorite Chinese spot in Surprise! My husband and I love their Kung Pao chicken and their vegetable lo mien. If you’re going to want Chinese take out this is the place to do so! They’re so quick with getting your order out and it’s always fresh. They have incredible lunch deals too… you get soup, lunch entrée, fried wonton and an egg roll typically under 6 bucks!

My group ordered almost everything from the menu. Food tasted amazing and very generous portions! Will absolutely be back again!

It’s OKAY!!! And this is it! Not great, or amazing, just OK! The fact that this place is so busy just tells you more about the lack of good Chinese Food in Surprise than anything else…
They are also busy because they are only so-​so at handling a lot of customers… Iff you’re in surprise and looking for Cho Fo
this is the best place by far… but remember it’s Chinese food in Surprise…

Yum! This is my favorite place to go to for Chinese food. Their lunch menu is perfect. Portions are the right size for the price. The Hot and Sour soup is wonderful but my favorite dish is the Singapore Rice Noodles. Eat in or get it to go, the food is good no matter where you eat it.
They have a nice place. Eat inside or out on their spacious patio.
Easy to get to. Right off the 303 at Greenway.

Love this place! Got called out on my Unilocaling by my GF’s son. He asked if I had posted any positive reviews. Well here come a few.
We have been to this restaurant 3 times. Funny, because we have been treated like long time regulars since the first time. The House Crispy Chicken and all the other dishes we’ve tried were fantastic! The service is also amazing as it seemed, especially last night, that we had 3 servers all taking good care of us, with smiles… even when our added on Crispy Tofu was forgotten till we were into our meals was brought out with apologies and we were told it would be taken off our bill and they were sorry! WOW… Oh, and we needed a bit more rice. Brought out in a flash, no extra charge Can’t wait to go back! These are the kind of places I love to support… gonna go for lunch too, great deals!!!

It’s your average American Chinese place. Nothing special. I went in expecting traditional REAL Chinese food. Pretty much panda express tasting food.
Service rushes customers confuses orders and brought out my food 10 minutes earlier than the others in my party. Not professional.
Not returning.

Went here with some friends from work. We were looking for a spot where we could get a quick bite to eat but NOT fast food.
It’s a small place but has a surprising amount of seating. It was busy but we were seated right away and drinks were brought over pretty quickly. The place was clean and The staff was busy busy, but quick.
The menu had typical Chinese foods available. There was also a lunch specials page that was very well priced
For what you get (entrée, fried or white rice, small soup, crab puff and egg roll) — about $ 6.50-$ 7).
The soups were brought out first and were nice and hot. I had the sweet and sour soup and it was tangy, not overly salty and had a good amount of veggies in it. Next came the egg rolls and crab puffs. I’m not normally a big fan of these but had a bit of the puff and it was ok. The chop suey was very tasty! It was a surprisingly generous portion and was very savory and well seasoned without being over salty. My friend had the lo mein, which looked delish and the orange chicken, which I’m not usually into but smelled really good. She really liked her dish as well.
They also honored 2 free egg rolls with a checkin!
I’d return and encourage y’all to give it a try if you’re on the area.

If you are into Asian food, this is the place around town, let’s face it, Arizona is the state still behind in trends with food, I know there’s a lot of places to eat but nothing to appealing to be excited to go out of your way… only food chains and very elegant places but food with low intensity in taste.
So when you find a place with Awesome taste and great prices is a must to come back over and over, Why? Because there is really not too many choices! :) let me just say SOUP! was so Tasty that I’m looking forward to order it again.
All the other dishes we order, out of this world, is either I’m too excited because been a native Californian we find great taste anywhere, so I feel I found one that I will come back and enjoy my food.
Can’t wait!!!

Restaurant week with my mom continued tonight. She likes Chinese food and this place is only about 5 minutes away from our house. Seemed like a good time to head on over.
We went inside and were seated immediately. As soon as I sat down, I felt a little anxiety. They do a bustling take out business but their waiting area is very tiny and it was right next to our table. It felt like people were on top of us the whole time. Every time you would lift your head, someone was there or looking your way. A little bit uncomfortable. If there is a next time, hopefully we will sit someone against the wall or something. Anyways… placed our order for Diet Cokes and actually used the Unilocal check-​in app in order to score us 2 free egg rolls! We decided to go with Mongolian Beef and Orange Peel Chicken. Here is how everything tasted…
Egg Rolls– Best part of the meal, by far! There were 2 of them and you could tell they were homemade and they tasted great. They are served with a little sweet and sour sauce with a pinch of hot mustard. The egg rolls and sauce were delicious. They were hot, fresh, crispy and hearty for being such small things. I would definitely get them again and maybe even a few orders of them in addition to the free one you get from the Unilocal app.
Mongolian Beef– This was presented nicely with a ton of onions and beef. I am spoiled though and am used to certain kinds of Chinese food (Golden Chopsticks in National City rings a bell). I dug in to this and it tasted ok. The meat was a little tough though and could have been seasoned just a bit more. Not bad in any way, just nothing compared to other places that I have had Mongolian Beef before. Portion size seemed just a bit skimp too. Overall, it was just ok.
Orange Peel Chicken– Once again, I am used to certain things when it comes to Chinese food and this was totally different. Their Orange Chicken is basically a breaded chicken breast cut up into strips a la chicken katsu. It was covered in a sweet tasting sauce that was just ok. The breading on the chicken fell off pretty easily which was kind of annoying. Once again, the portion was a tad skimp.
White Rice– Rice was ok. They give you a huge container of it at least.
Overall, everything was just alright. We ate all the food presented to us and didn’t have any leftovers (rare with Chinese food… it boils down to the kind of skimp portions though) and were not totally stuffed to the brim. Service, while friendly, was a tad slow. Will I come back? Eh… possibly. My wife doesn’t eat Chinese food other than Pick Up Stix and PF Changs, so I will probably be rolling solo if I do come back. Nothing was really bad, but nothing stood out as super delicious either. A-​OK about sums it up… maybe even on the low end of A-​OK. Total bill for everything including tip was around $ 30.00. Fair enough I guess.
