The partners opened Buddha's Belly where Rösti used to be on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. With a menu featuring Pan-Asian dishes, sakes, Japanese wines and Asian... more

The supremely pleasant atmosphere and fresh, cheap Asian cuisine provide a casual alternative to the chi-chi Beverly Boulevard restaurant scene.

The Thai dishes at Buddha's Belly pad thai, curried chicken, noodle bowls or a Thai beef salad are mostly under 10 bucks and taste genuine and fresh. (It's a great guilt-free takeout spot.) Couples and chattering small... more

Along with a small, but well-priced wine list, there's a variety of hot and cold sake offerings. For a healthy alternative, try a non-alcoholic Virtual Buddha herbal tonic.

We have lived by Buddha's Belly for three years and had never been in--primarily because I was concerned that my husband, who has a pepper allergy, couldn't survive a place sure to have bell peppers and chili sauce out the yin-yang. However, returning home from a long day at work yesterday, he suggested (to my surprise) we try it out.

It was 9:30 pm on a Thursday and we had our 11-year-old in... more

Bad Food at its Worst

My friend suggested PF Changs and I in turn suggested Buddha's Belly. And so we went. It was T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E! We had exactly what the waitress suggested and we were completely unimpressed/disgusted by the food. It was the kind of food you would expect from a Food Court at the mall.

It should be called BOOdha's Belly. Or BADha's Belly.
