    This is not a restaurant. My partner and I live nearby and found this on google maps of local asian restaurants. We walked up and down street. Nothing at the address but office building. Read reviews. Seems only a delivery/pop up kitchen

    Ordered food for 6 people through UberEats. Exactly around delivery time, UberEats called me and said that the "driver had an issue and he cannot deliver". Since this is UberEats, I asked for another driver to deliver the food. They said they cannot find another driver (delivery guy) now or later. I called the "restaurant" directly and they asked me if I can pick up the food myself since food is ready. I arrived at the address of Hungry Buddha (as shown in Google) and I couldn't find the restaurant. There is one apartment building at that address, a warehouse and a mosque! Where is the restaurant? There is no physical restaurant! I called the restaurant number and one guy came out of the building and handed me the food. A big question is whether it can be called a restaurant at all if one operates from the kitchen of his apartment. The UberEats delivery guy later called me and apologized and said that he got mugged inside that building before and thats why he won't go inside that building again. THIS IS SCAM! Big question is does Uber Eats ever verify where the food is coming from or if it is a restaurant or not. Hungry Buddha has a website that says "dine-in", take away and delivery.

    Can’t fault. This is top quality stuff. Each item individually labelled and packaged well. The flavours in each dish are absolutely divine. And not heavily over priced either.
