Buddha Belly in Sunderland

Very good food from budda belly, and very efficient delivery service.

Ordered for the first time tonight as our fav Chinese in seaham has been taking over, so decided let’s give here ago! Wow it was absolutely gorgeous we ordered the set menu for 2 and honestly was not disappointed. We ordered house special curry and king prawn chow mein for the main meals and they were absolutely packed with prawns and meats. 100% this is going to be our new takeaway restaurant

This is how Chinese Take Away food should be done. Have used Buddha Belly numerous times now. If a place is just OK, the food can be Hity Missy. This isn't the case here, everytime (Choosing different dishes) the food is superb. The people serving are polite and my food has always been in tinfoil cartons (Keeps the food lovely and hot, unlike other Take Away's using plastic cartons), meaning you get larger amounts. Pricing is on par with other Chinese Take Away's but there's just no comparison, in my opinion on the quality and taste.

King Prawn and Beef Satay with fried rice...absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection, as well as generous serving of Prawn, Beef and peppers, onion etc.

The meat was tasteless, the chips were rock hard, i have had numerous takeaways from here all been decent, until now, never again...

Was not worth the money I spent last night not much taste and the specials curry full of onions not worth the price

Okay food, however way overpriced, the prices are not worth what you get. Been elsewhere for just as good for a lot less.

Quality food served up by professional, polite staff. I highly recommend this takeaway. Thank you.

Chicken chow mein usually comes with veg in and a sauce asked for without beansprouts yet came just dry noodles and chicken with little bit onion not very good at all

Best takeaway I've had in my life, really fairly priced as well.

Very busy but excellent customer service, food is always very nice.

Omelette horrible and accompanying rice hard

So much choice of food, and friendly helpful staff. Food arrived quickly, and was very tasty with decent portion sizes, at a reasonable price.

Been ordering from this takeaway for years and has always been spot on and really fast delivery

Great menu selection, all the classics and very good quality - and I'm particular. Portion size is huge, but not necessarily a negative. Wonderful staff, fast service, and they get the order 100% accurate. 'atmosphere' not relevant. All chinese takeaways should be like this. Make this your Saturday night ritual. Highly recommended.

Best king prawn foo young I've ever had everything was cooked to perfection also very large portions .

Ordered a range of dishes & they certainly didn’t skimp on the meat or prawns. Very reasonable. Will be ordering again. Thank you

Delicious food - I always crave Chinese takeaway but am almost always disappointed when it comes. This was fantastic - delivered promptly, tasty hot food and great portion sizes. Definitely my new go to takeaway restaurant

Make sure you check your order as if they give you the wrong food they will accuse you of not ordering correctly! Had to make two trips to pick my food up as they gave me rice instead of chips and they said yes you can have chips if you give me the rice, which we had in the car to give them any way but some unlucky person will be getting some second hand fried rice! Absolute joke of customer service

Very fast delivery. Food is excellent and customer service is great.

One of the nicest Chinese takeaways around, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Love this place best Chinese about in my eyes

We took set menu B for 2 people. IT was a mazing value for money great tasty food .Enjoyed the whole meal.

Tastes amazing but never answer the phone

First time we have used this takeaway after being recommended and it was divine. We had lemon chicken and a house special curry and it was so tasty. Thus will be our future takeaway

Absolutely awful meal. Normally lovely but this was shocking. Chips were so overdone they were like crisps. Curry sauce as thick as bulls lugs. Overall meal was not nice would not recommend

Hot food, fast delivery, lovely delivery driver. GREAT FOOD worth every penny

Consistently fantastic food! Perfect every time.

My favourite Chinese love the food

Quality old-school 80s Style Chinese LOVELY !!

Best Chinese takeaway av had end off

Fantastic food and customer service, never have to wait longer than 30 minutes for delivery. The shop is very clean. Would highly recommend.

Raw chicken and rude staff unreal. I was friendly voiced my concerns to be belittled never again

It's a shame but Budda Belly is the best place for our take-away and is always our first option but getting through on the phones is becoming more of a battle, we call more than 30 times and only get through the phone Once. Then When they do pick-up they're either quiet, or say their shut even tho online states overwise. And one time when we did FINALLY get through the call the person on the other end hung up. It's a takeaway not a battle or have to be stressful just to place an order and by that time the food has turned sour because of how much time we wasted.

Great food, when you can get in touch. Impossible to get in touch. 7pm to 8.15pm. Joke

This has to be, without doubt, the best Chinese takeaway establishment in Sunderland. The food is always of an exceptionally high standard and the delivery service is remarkably quick. Personally my family has taken delivery of food within 15 mins. Be aware though folks the phone line can often get busy but that's merely an indication of just how good this establishment is. Very strongly recommended.

Always good food and munchys here

Can't get through on the phone but ordered over the counter. Food was amazing, best chinese we've had in the north east.

All ways good quality food. Pleasant staff.

Perfect everytime only disappointing thing is you can never get through by phone always easier just going into the shop and ordering they're always busy but reasonably quick once ordered and worth the wait anyway

Food fantastic excellent service the best ever

Was recommended by a friend and wasn't disappointed first class and quick delivery

We moved here from Seaham had same chinese for yrs decided to go to Buddha belly and never looked back it’s really tasty I’m a cook and wouldn’t go anywhere else now

Just phoned over 50 times no joke trying to get through, and still no answer, how are you meant to order a delivery if no one is gonna pick up the phone?, absolute joke :(

Excellent food, best in the North East, I actually travel from Durham to collect mine and am never disappointed. First class efficient service. Most importantly the shop is immaculately clean.

Best chinese take away in Sunderland, Great food, always tasty, fantastic staff and excellent customer service!!!

First time ordering food from here & wont be the last. I ordered the beef with onions garlic & black pepper ( see photo ) it was fab! If you don’t care much for garlic then don’t order it as there was loads but I love garlic, hubby got the king prawn and mushroom curry which was lovely, the dishes come with rice/chips, the portions are big. Delivery was very quick, Highly recommended

Up there with the best Chinese I've had lovely

Food is great,but you can never get through on the phone,been trying for 30 minutes.

Best Chinese by miles anywhere in the northeast. Worth the travel to collect.

Just had a takeaway from here for the first time. Really good, well worth the drive through from Seaham.

I would say this is the best chinese in Sunderland, great portion sizes and food is amazing! Always go back weekly and never disappoints

If you like tasty quality Chinese take away, go no where else

Fantastic best around and the fastest delivery service ever

After reading lots of reviews and listening to the hype about this take away, we decided to give it a try - its not our usual place of choice.Cant fault the place or the staff...both are lovely, but the food was not a patch on other take aways. I had chiken pineapple, which was ok...padded out with a huge amount of pineapple chunks. The other half had Singapore Chow Mein with extra chillies. It was dry and had hardly any meat - a little chicken but no beef and one tiny piece of pork and needed a magnifying glass to find the prawns. No peppers or mushrooms, which are a staple ingredient of Chow Mein.Spicy chips were the frozen type and were powder dry with little taste - certainly not worth the whopping £3.20.At least I can say we've been now....but wont be going back. At £15.40 for two meals, which didnt get fully eaten, it was very disappointing.

Great value, speedy service, pleasant staff and good food!

Really nice food from here and good friendly staff

The place is trash the rice is like cardboard

Highly recommended. Best in Sunderland in our opinion. Always order from here. Professional and polite staff and always food is cooked quickly. Sometimes it is hard to get through on the phone because it’s so popular.

Absolutely gorgeous best in Sunderland

Always service with a smile super clean shop and lovely food

My other half and his family love a Chinese takeaway and I've never rated a Chinese takeaway (would always prefer and Indian takeaway) until we tried Buddha Belly last year.Food is always hot, delivered quickly and delicious. You can always tell the veg is fresh. We've collected a few times and the place is always busy and I like the modern shop front and front desk and it looks so much cleaner than so many other Chinese takeaways.Whenever we ring the lady who answers seems super efficient, reads the order back to you and always confirms the price and anticipated time.

Had salt and pepper chicken myself and was great it's always top notch food kids had chicken and better 14 in the bag and very reasonably priced as always I use this place time and time again and always very impressed keep up the good work guys

Never had a bad meal great service great food best in Sunderland

Nice king prawn curry however are so many onions necessary to displace the sauce which only costs pennies

Meal just tasted of salt disgusting and went Straight in the bin

Best Chinese around here worth the drive..

This takeaway offers some beautiful tasting food, the food is well presented and tastes very clean, the staff are very warm and welcoming, the takeaway shop itself is very well presented and has an excellent appearance both inside and out which you can easily see a lot of effort and money has been spent on the design, the shop is very clean and tidy, the food is averagely priced, parking is available across the road. Highly recommended.

Of all the Chinese takeaways in Sunderland this is by far the best, The food is always hot and very very tasty and very reasonable priced compared to others. Staff are always friendly, downside is that because it is so popular it sometimes takes a while to get through on the phone but be patient it is worth the wait. Highly recommended.

Fast delivery of food which was hot and lots of it and very tasty with free prawn crackers . The menu choice is very large with great options will be ordering again .

In my experience the food is better than that I have eaten in any Chinese restaurant. The staff are very polite and professional. Will not go anywhere else. Very clean.

This has got to be one of the best Chinese take aways I have used. The food is of an excellent standard and beats most restaurants hands down!! The staff are very good and are very professional on every visit !! See you again soon

Unreal! Absolutely fantastic :)

Fantastic Chinese and great staff. If it isn't on the menu, ask and they will do it for you.

Poor and tasteless, very disappointed.

Newly opened takeaway, the food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely use them again.

Value for Money...portions are very big and you get a lot more. Extremely friendly and chatty staff with the place looking very well maintained.

Excellent staff very helpful. Let my eldest try different options before buying.
