L'il Buddha Asian Cuisine

Food was incredibly good! Great menu variety, prompt, generous portions, lovely service and value for money. Not outstanding decor, but not fine dining prices either. This was a great find while on holidays.

Beautiful fresh tasty meals that were prepared and served within 10 minutes
Lots of gluten free options

What a wonderful surprise this restaurant. We were shocked by not only the serving portions but the taste, freshnes presentation and lovely service. If you are feeling like some Asian cuisine you have to try this place. We ordered the sizzling mushroom beef which had beautiful big tender pieces of beef. Also ordered the budha chicken chicken which was huge that it could easily feed 2 or more people, just need to add an order of rice with it.

Very impressed with how many patrons there were and so glad we booked. Food was delicious! And quick.

I’ve tried many different Chinese restaurants throughout Port Stephens tonight they excelled. I’ll be back

Very disappointing to order off their online menu only to discover they stopped making the dish I wished to order 'ages ago'. Figure it's about time to update your online menu!

Had a Takeaway of mini spring rolls, a satay, a chicken dish, and fried rice. Satay was ok but rest of the meal was very bland and not much flavour. Chicken dish was dry and stringy

My family and I visited here for my birthday dinner while on holiday.
The food was delicious and fresh, with so much flavour.
The food came out quick and everyone was happy.

Last night we had take away from your restaurant. Very disappointed. We waited 45 minutes for 4 mains, 1 soup & 1 special fried rice to be ready and understand that this is a very busy time, with the Christmas school holidays and a large number of tourists. However, the deep fried duck with pineapple? Was tough and tasteless. The sweet & sour pork was a sludgy sweet & sour batter over the pork with virtually no vegetables and overly sweet.there was a lamb dish which was plain tasteless. The fried rice and the short soup were good. I don’t normally write reviews but this takeaway did not add up to the $114 charge. We are locals and will return at some stage, but if your staff is overwhelmed with demand then Perhaps more staff is required at such busy times.

Not the worst Chinese I've had but food was very mediocre for the price. Satay beef was sweet and didn't taste satay at all, honey chicken was okay but rice was not authentic either.

Just had what was possibly the best Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had! Had old school curry prawns that was so delicious it’s crazy! Fillet steak with pepper sauce to die for & the yummiest freshest fried rice, lots of colourful veggies in all dishes & nothing to fault, thank you Lil Buddha

We tried this place out while on holidays. Food was Delicious. Service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

Various Asian cuisines available, reasonable price and sizeable portions. The Mongolian Beef with fried rice was cool! Staff and ambience were nice too.overall a good family experience.

During my visit in Nelson bay, visited this place
Food was really good One of a best vegetarian Laksa I tried, nice place, friendly staff.reasonable price and portions.

I've eaten there three times this week and thoroughly enjoyed every meal. I would highly recommend this place. Great food and great service

During our stay at Port Stephens we wanted some nice Chinese to dine in for my girlfriends birthday and we decided on here.
- stay were friendly, helpful, courteous and prompt
- ordering was a breeze
- food was quick, fresh and absolutely delicious, and my girlfriend said it was the best honey chicken she's ever had
100% do recommend and now time for deep fried ice cream

Great food. We will eat here again!

Growing up with a friend whose family ran a Chinese Restaurant, eating here brought back those memories.

We had steamed Dim Sims, Lemon Chicken and Beef and Broccoli with Cashew Nuts.

The Dim Sims were nice - they seemed made from frozen but most places do these days.

The Lemon Chicken was good. We prefer the whole breast and then chopped. These were individual pieces in batter. Still very nice and the sauce was great!

The beef and broccoli was great.

After a long drive up from Sydney, it was a dinner worth the wait.

We are going to try other dishes next time.

The service was friendly and efficient - we were served by Bella and she’s a credit to her employers.

Thanks again!

Very nice food! I liked all the dishes I tried.

I would have given 5 stars but I tried to eat-in for a second time and they turned us away an hour before closing.

Awesome food, heaps of it as well, will now be our first choice of Chinese or any take away from now on, well done

The best food within the Nelson Bay area. The flavours were more authentic unlike other Asian restaurants in the area. It was comparable to Chinese restaurants you'd find in Sydney.
