Wee Buddha: Reviews & Ratings
The food in here was excellent. We were in a big group and the food was just brought out when it was ready so it was very fresh. Everyone got something different, and they all enjoyed what they had. Service was attentive, always replenishing drinks. It is a very small place so would 100% book.
What a find! Definitely the best Asian food in Edinburgh, with really friendly services, a fabulous atmosphere. I loved it, as did my mum who is very critical. And my daughter , who had great food.
Highly recommend! They are so friendly and accommodating. Have many vegan options from starters to mains to drinks. And everything was delicious. If only we lived here - we would be coming back again and again!
After 9 amazing years this remains my hidden . Tonight, Garlic Chilli , Pac Choi with Oyster Dipping Sauce, Sirloin Skewer's with Thai Dipping Sauce. Congrats Ken and Team
Lovely experience here went with a few friends and shared some plates. The place were bigger than I expected and I was pleasantly after the end which I didn’t expect as sometimes when you eat at these small places you do leave feeling hungry. We got three dishes per couple which I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going. I don’t remember what I got unfortunately, but the menu all looked really good.
A lovely welcome by friendly staff. We ordered spring rolls, katsu chicken, and the pork mince sharer. More than enough for two. The food was served piping hot, arrived quickly, tasted delicious, and we struggled to finish We had booked a table thankfully. For a Wednesday night, it was busy and a dozen folk were turned away as they hadn't booked a table....fully booked! Highly recommend you visit. The food was lovely, the staff friendly and helpful, and it was great value for money.
A real gem, tucked away on Jamaica Street. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and a great variety of Asian tapas style dishes as well as main plates. Incredible variety for vegans and meat eaters along with a huge beer menu. Doing great take away currently when we cannot eat in. Love this place.
The food here is always a really high standard and the team are friendly, service with a smile every time. So many dishes on the menu I could recommend, top favourites are the chilli garlic squid, the gyozas, haggis wontons and the jhei cauliflower.
