OK oh my goodness these guys are freaking amazing! The food is so freaking good. I cannot even stress out enough. I think my favorite things are the spam fried rice and The guava cake and the coconut cake so amazingly delicious!!!

It’s been hard trying to find Hawaiian restaurants that have kalbi short ribs. I gave Buddha’s a try and they did not disappoint. First time at this location and first time having their plates and I was so impressed how tender the kalbi short ribs were. Mac salad and rice with cabbage on the bottom was a great addition to the plate. I will definitely come back.
The manager or owner running the restaurant was friendly and provided great service. Chatted with us for a little even offered a free cookie. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for the onolicious food. 🤙🏼🌺

True Aloha here at Budda’s! The second we walked in we were welcomed with smiles, and offered samples of their DELICOUS Coconut Rolls! They have coloring pages, and crayons with cute little Budda’s key chains for kids! Their Passion fruit juice is AMAZING and fresh! We were offered something not on menu, and it was delicious! The most amazing experience and loved that it is definitely Ohana friendly! Will most definitely come here often! Mahalo Budda’s for an amazing experience and for all the Aloha🌺🤙🏼 Jose is amazing and makes sure you are taken care of!

The lady at the register would let me order something and then say 10 seconds later “I’m sorry we don’t have anymore of that item”, and this was for all the meat pies they sold and their Ube cake. This was at 12:30PM on Friday, and their Friday and Saturday hours go until midnight, how are you already out of meat pies and a dessert at 12 pm? How do the staff not have any knowledge prior to someone ordering something that it’s out? She also let me wait at the register because she assumed I didn’t know what I wanted and let me stare at her for 5 minutes before she let me know she wasn’t doing anything. Everytime I asked the staff any questions regarding if they had extra sauce, drinks, etc, they had a confused look on their face and wouldn’t know the answer. Horrible customer service and the food was above average at best. Please go to Island Grinds or Sagatos for this type of food.
CHEE HOO!!! Budda’s Bakery is on point! If you’re looking for some ono grinds (delicious Hawaiian food), butter rolls, or meat pies, THIS IS THE SPOT! When we walked in, we were immediately greeted with a “How’s it?” from one of the owners, Jose. He’s a retired Marine Corps veteran who was stationed in Hawaii, and he fits the vibe perfectly of what islander food is all about. We had the Loco Moco, Breakfast Bento, taro butter rolls, coconut butter rolls, and Lilikoi (passion fruit) juice. They also have kava shots for all the people banned from the kalapu😂 All of it hit the spot!
