Great happy hour with items starting at just $5! We also hit Momolicious Tuesday with great deals. My favorite was the chili chicken momos!

Delicious fusion! I always get a bit hesitant with fusion because it could go either way, but the Delicious blend of Indian spices, and classic Asian dishes was done very well. The crab ragoons were the best I’ve ever had! Definitely got to try this place yum! Also have great selection of vegetarian dishes

The food was good. It wasn’t great, by any means. The reason for the low rating is the service. If you read other reviews for The Funky Buddha, you’ll see a trend. The service is awful. The employees will find 1 or 2 tables to pay attention to and ignore the rest. The other part is how long it takes for some of the food. My wife had her food (and our appetizer came out with hers) and it took an additional 20 minutes (minimum) for me to get my dinner. Her dish was tasty and mine was ok. The flavors were lacking. After we finished, we just wanted to pay and get out of there, but our server couldn’t be bothered to stop talking to her friends that came in and ate. The bartender also had struck up conversation with the 2 people at the bar and ignored us.

First Impression: Why Funky Buddha? Why can’t you leave him alone and not using religious relics in an unrespectful way?!

I’m glad I didn’t let those judgements be in the way of DELICIOUS authentic Tibetan-Nepalese & Pan-Asian food for a great foodie that I am 😀 (not saying that it’s okay to use cut-off Buddha head as decoration, but that’s not the discussion here)

First time I had their MoMo; I had a transcendental experience… especially the veggie MoMo… so light and fresh and just mind blowing. They are freshly made in the house, with love and long history of Tibet-Nepal cuisine!!! The ceases of the hand-folded MoMo are BEAUTIFUL, the fried MoMos were crunchy and crispy despite the sauces. And the sauces are uniquely out-of-this-world! They are tangy with spices and a little heat, and doesn’t taste like any other sauces I had in my life (& I’m Chinese-Thai, we love sauces, lol!)

My next favorite is Chow Mein, it is great with or without protein (animal and tofu for vegan/vegetarians) A slightly salty but BOY! It’s lightly oiled, fresh fresh yummy vegetables made me wonder if they just harvested them just to make this dish! It feeds my soul and definitely missed the most when I crave comfort food.

Other menus I tried (with and without the photos) and recommended are:
Thai Papaya Salad – fresh, authentic flavor, watch out for the heat if you’re light weighted on that (me too, but it’s still yummy)
Korean Fried Chicken – perfectly fried, crispy, sweet salty tangy sticky sauce that makes you wanna lick your fingers after you ate them
Masala Fries and Schezwan Chicken: similar to the Chow Mein, they are fried (deep, and pan perspectively) to perfection, accompanied with fresh veggies that my husband and I compete for them (and not just the potato or meat like you normally would). Very inspiring dish!
Thukpa Noodle Soup – it is my first time having this Nepalese noodle so I don’t have much to base my experience on. In my opinion, it is light and comforting noodle soup perfect for a rainy day.

All in all, I highly highly recommend Funky Buddha for a freshly-prepared bar food with an authentic Pan-Asia flavor profile!!!

Came here because we were hungry in the middle of the afternoon and they had happy hour prices. Overall great appetizers, except for the corn which needed (wonton?) chips of something to eat with it. We had to grab our own utensils from other tables but service was otherwise good.

Suban was amazing taking care of us. Quiet and clean place. The food was delicious. I recommend the pork fried rice and the masala chicken wings.

Such a cute neighborhood spot! It’s moody and vibey, with fun decor. It feels family-owned and the employees are all really nice.

The food was decent overall. Definitely an eclectic mix on the menu, which felt a little all over the place, but there were some highlights. I especially liked the nasi lemak and the almond pista kulfi. The nasi lemak was aromatic and SPICY. The almond pista kulfi was sweet, creamy, and just a touch tangy. It was the perfect treat to cool off my burning tongue.

Crab rangoon was good. Korean fried chicken was much better though. Great choice of sake whiskey and canned drinks. Definitely a cool spot for drinks and apps. I would say its a good spot for a date for sure
