Customer Review Summary
The banquet is the draw reviewers return to most, with groups of two and five describing plenty of food, enough that one pair took leftovers home. Ribs and duck come close behind, and diners also single out the shredded chicken and the scallops, king prawn and crabsticks in black bean sauce. Reviewers mention tender meat, fluffy rice and friendly staff who seat and serve quickly. The complaints centre on omelettes. A vegetarian regular found chicken in a mushroom omelette and describes a phone call met with defensiveness and an offer of 10% off the next meal. Another diner's mother received a Spanish omelette with chicken, prawns and mushrooms on top of chips, and suggests the menu list the contents. One takeaway reviewer reports a very late delivery, brown chilli sauce on the crispy shredded beef, and spring rolls raw in the middle. That Spanish omelette was not charged for.

“Don't bother trying the other chinese establishments nearby as The Laughing Buddha was truly delicious. We had more than enough for for our family of 5 for less than £50. The kids are already asking if we can eat here again! We especially recommend the shredded chicken and the scallops, king prawn and crabsticks in black bean sauce.”

“The food was was good, and there was plenty of it. The service was very good, they were quick to seat, quick to serve and not eager to get me out the door, and there are always a few tables full with people.”

“Quite possibly the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever eaten. It took an hour and a half to arrive, and the food definitely wasn’t worth the wait. Ordered crispy shredded beef in chilli sauce and I’m still not convinced it was even beef. The sauce was brown instead of the usual chilli sauce and tasted nothing like it should. The egg fried rice was basically plain boiled rice with random lumps of egg thrown in, with zero flavour. To top it off, the vegetable spring rolls were raw in the middle. Really poor quality food and a complete waste of money. Won’t be ordering again.”
