Laughing Buddha in South Gloucestershire

Yummy mmmmm! Big portion sizes and they accommodated preferences well, thank you

Is a two hour wait for a couple of curries reasonable? I don’t think so … but they were nice when they finally arrived.

Budda is clearly standing out in terms of quality of ingredients and subtleties of taste. Preferring home-cooked meals still do I find that one a breath away from it.

I ordered food from them it came cold I phone them to complain about my the they were very rude to if I wanted a refund I had to take the food back to them even though I told them I am a disabled person who can not drive the owner told me he will charge me £ 5 if he sent the driver vk to pick up the food even though it was not my fault the food was cold I will never order from them again

Lovely tasty food delivered early which was great!

Lovely fresh quality meals and they done everything they could to ensure they found our new house on a very new build site - highly recommended

Food is always great! Delivery on this occasion was late but not the end of the world.

This has to be, hands down, the best Chinese Takeaway in Bristol... I've wasted so much money trying other places... I've never had a bad meal, the Special fried Rice.. lives up to the Special and the curry is on point 👉...

This time, I ordered my personal favourite dish, Special Chow Mein, which was dry and lacking in juice or sauce. It also didn't have the sliced chicken and pork that were supposed to be on top, and the bean shoots were barely there, so there was no fresh crunch from the beans instead of just a pile of fairly dehydrated noodles. I'm not going to order this from this place again. Unfortunately not happy !

OMFG Those crab claws are insanely good, probably the best thing I've eaten in a long time! The meat was fluffy and soft with a light crispy breadcrumb coating! Also the nicest prawn chow mein I've had since moving here 4 years ago. Also the duck rolls & hors derve platter for 2 always goes down well! The prawm toast is absolutely delicious. As always I ordered way too much but that's going to be lunch tomorrow.

Wow I ordered way too much food! But what a banquet we had, absolutely massive Spring Rolls not greasy at all nice crisp filo. The ribs/toast & crispy greens were delicious, as was the s&p chips with my curry sauce. Only downside the crispy noodles weren't crispy at all because the prawns & veg went on top! But that was also delicious... And had enough left over for lunch today too.

The food was much better than last week, although the fried rice was rather dry with hardly any bbq sauce. Our order was very welcome though, being delivered a good 45 minutes early 😁

Chip need to be cooked more but great otherwise

Very unusually, the beef curry was not up to the standard we have come to expect from the Laughing Buddha. Firstly, it was completely tasteless - could have been anything - and secondly the curry sauce appeared to be very watered down. Not a good experience. On the other hand the sweet and sour chicken was perfect, as always. We will chalk this up as just one of those things.

First order & I have to say we were impressed! S&S chicken hong kong style was delicious & I had a chicken curry which was soft and delicious and a very generous portion. The sharing platter was outstanding those ribs were AMAZING! The prawn toast & seaweed were delicious too,I'll be doubling that next time lol 😁👍All in all we were both very satisfied with our meals and extras and feeling very full right now! Was very good value for money!

Fantastic, really delicious and good quality

Fantastic food and arrived exactly on time! Particularly liked the beef in black bean sauce! Delicious 😋

Food was delivered slightly early and very tasty

we live out of the area and are on a mini break. The food was outstanding. Thank you

Salt and pepper boxes are way overpriced. With a sauce it was just off 19 pounds, way too much for 3 chicken balls, few wings, bits of rib. Full to the brim with chips obviously. Tasted fine but how can you justify the price of it. Not impressed.

Excellent food. Will definitely order from the Laughing Buddha again on the strength of what we ate today.

Always excellent food and on time

Always like this place and usually have set meals for two or more. On this occasion I ordered a favorite of mine, Special Chow Mein which was dry with no juice or sauce, there were no sliced chicken and pork on top as described, also it was very lacking in bean shoots, they we're hardly noticeable meaning no fresh crunch of bean shoots, just a pile of fairly dry noodles. I won't be ordering this again from here. It was tasty enough and was hot, delivery was ahead of time too. Can't fault this establishment other than this one meal was just not up to standard.

Delicious food always. Thank you.

I found the food tonite disappointing .chow mien very dry same with duck and salt and pepper chicken. 😔

Good food, very tasty, good price. Food was quite late even for a Sat evening and they changed to "delivered" 25 mins before it actually arrived so had to phone and check.

chicken fried rice and honey and garlic ribs were lovely. My partner said the beef fried rice lacked flavour but was overall nice.

The crispy beef was sweet and bland (not even a little spicy), the chicken chow mein tasted like pot noodle noodles, the chicken curry sauce was bland and there was jelly on the chicken in the curry???! It was our first time ordering from here, as our normal Chinese restaurant wasn’t taking any orders tonight but we won’t be ordering from here again sorry.

The delivery driver was very nice. The food was hot when it arrived and was maybe a little bland for my taste but still very enjoyable.

The Singapore Vermicelli noodles were the best I've ever eaten. The salt and pepper box was also very tasty, very generous and offered a great variety. Best Chinese in Bristol 🙌🏼

I can not fault this place.... Good size portions, they don't skimp on the meat, but most importantly the best bbq sauce I've had in ages....

Buddha fried rice was nice. Special salt and pepper appetiser was not very hot, the chips were under cooked and it tasted too salty (coming from someone who likes salt on food). Food was not hot but was ok for eating quick.

The chow mein tasted like a pepper pot had been spilled on it and the chicken in it was not pleasant. The special fried rice had fatty bits in it we had to spit out. The prawn toast was chewy. We are not eating it and putting some toast on instead.

good value on the salt and chilli boxes, enough for 2-3 people. very good quality spent 50 quid and everyone was happy 👍

First time ordering from here and was very good

Enjoyed everything about this order , delivery, quality and the food was lovely

I had to amend the order. I phoned and they sorted it with no issues-thank you. Food arrived on time. Decent portion sizes. Ordered vegetable chow mein, egg fried rice, vegetable spring rolls chicken,chicken balls, salt and pepper chips, prawn crackers and curry sauce. Fed three people with leftovers and we all enjoyed it. The curry sauce wasn't spicy.

We ordered the chicken curry, duck with mixed vegetables, chicken & noodle soup and chicken & mushroom soup. Food was hot, ready to collect on time and tasty, would order from here again.

Placed an order for collection on New year's Eve and food was ready in 20 minutes. Food was very tasty. Ordered 2 different chicken soups, duck with vegetables, and chicken curry. I personally find it very hard to find nice succulent Chinese duck but Laughing Buddah was great. Would happily order again.

Once again lovely food well cooked thank you

Very disappointing twice in a row now. Will not be ordering again. Beef with ginger and spring onions was 90% badly chopped brown onion and largely inedible.

Always fresh and tasty. Best Chinese about

Food was stone cold , deliver took over an hour and items spilled in bag .

I liked my food but not hot and spicy as described. Definitely not hot and expected nutty as described as satay

I’ve ordered from this restaurant many times. Every time the food is hot, tasty and delivered early with very clean packaging. Best place in Bristol.

MEAT in the vegetarian Singapore chow mein after lifetime of vegetarianism for religious reasons. and unfortunately food had to be redelivered due to delivery person not knocking, and they made us pay extra for this. Would appreciate a refund to be honest

We ordered a £54 order. The food didn't arrive so we called the restaurant. We weren't called and apparently the address was incorrect so we had to wait another 30 minutes for our food and they made us pay £3 extra for redelivery when it wasn't our fault. The most outrageous thing about this is that there was a piece of chicken in the vegetarian Singapore chow mein. This is gross contamination and any self respecting kitchen would never allow this. Its disgusting. All my life as a vegetarian for religious reasons and I found my food was contaminated with meat so I could not eat any of my food! Outrageous and so incompetent. Who knows how the kitchen staff handle food properly! The dish is advertised as vegetarian. A gross contamination like this in a other case could kill someone if they are allergic. Terrible, so disappointed.

Another fantastic meal which arrived hot and early. The Wonton Soup was excellent with lots of yummy wontons in it! Must order double portions of the spring rolls next time.

A great meal which the whole family enjoyed!

Lovely food, piping hot, full of flavour and delivered with a smile! Highly recommend.

I really hate writing this but I have to be totally honest and hopefully the restaurant will take it into account and make some changes. I waited almost 2 hours for my food, which isn’t acceptable it was also cold on arrival. The lady did call me to say it would be 20 minutes late, however it was almost another hour on top of the hour I had waited already. The food is incredibly bland and we didn’t eat it. Total waste of money. Please take these comments on board and not just see them as nasty.

Nevee a bad meal from here. Our favourite chinese by far

Always hot Always tasty best Chinese

Chicken and chips not as I expected chow mein quite dry not good flavour. Ribs were ok nice sauce.

Mum found some of her chicken balls chewy, and over cooked.sorry

Best Chinese chip shop in the North of Bristol so far! So glad I found this place. Tasty food, good portions and reasonable prices.

Beef wasn’t very nice in any of the food

Chips were undercooked and prawn crackers were stale, not happy.

The food we ordered were so tasty!!

The food was so delicious and tasty!! Highly recommended!!

The food was delicious as always.

It took 2.5 hours get to us, they called us 2 hours after ordering to say they were only just making our food. Will not be going back in a hurry as it was ridiculous waiting time ordered at 7pm and didn’t eat til 9:40pm!

Lovely food, everyone in this house said it was delicious!

As far as bristolian cheap Chinese take aways. This is by far the best. We shopped around when we first moved to Bristol and stumbled across this one. Now I drive all the way from speedwell every time we want this

Best Chinese takeaway in North Bristol by a country mile. Food is always excellent and very reasonable value. They have their own website as well so you can order directly and bypass Just Eat / Deliveroo and their astronomical commission! Recommended to all.

This food was really nice. It tasted, and looked, fresh and clean. It tasted great and I’ll definitely order from here again

Food was very good and came much quicker than expected.

Always lovely food, and tonight we had the nicest delivery guy. I never order Chinese from anywhere else 😊

Best Chinese takeaway that Filton has to offer.

Poor quality of food, wouldn’t order again!

Can’t fault this place but if I had it my way I would limit the bamboo shoots and chestnut slices in the dishes but you can always ask to take these out!

Absolutely disgusting customer service & equally disgusting food. Sent me the wrong order and told me it was my problem. Wouldn’t feed this food to my dog. Will never order food from here again and wouldn’t recommend anyone else to either.

Fantastic food and service as usual and a little earlier than expected but it's great as we were starving and the anticipation was driving us both nuts. Many thanks to all those involved with our meal.

Honestly, one of the best Chinese meals I've had in a long time.

Duck tasted overcooked and not as succulent as I'm used to from other takeaways. Would have preferred thicker sauce for beef blackbean. Chicken soup tasty though. Friendly service on collection.

Consistently excellent food and quick delivery.

There was chewed chicken in the vegetarian dish. I complained to the restaurant but they were very dismissive.

Absolutely disgusting food was cold and chicken was not cooked properly and it was half hour late

Best local Chinese you could ask for, bigger portions than other places, good value for money. Quick wit their service. Never had a bad meal there.

A bit later than estimated but food still hot. Food quality good.

Another stunning meal beautifully prepared and delivered quickly, many thanks to all involved.

Excellent food and delivered on time.

Food was fantastic - portions were more than expected for the price. Delivery was perfectly on time. Staff were so helpful, going out of their way to get me a receipt nearly a week after ordering. Phenomenal service!

I have ordered food from laughing Buddha several times. Food is always spot on and hot when delivered.

Really good Chinese takeaway. I'd recommend the spare ribs in Peking sauce, sesame prawn on toast, and Singapore chow mein. Has a card machine too so no need to carry cash unlike other Chinese takeaways.

Didn't take long but food was bland and cold.

Yet another amazing meal, I feel like I'm repeating myself but the food from this restaurant is wonderful and perfectly cooked. So once again many thanks to everyone who helped to cook and deliver this culinary masterpiece to my house.

This is our go-to Chinese takeaway, food is always excellent and very reasonable value. They have their own website as well so you can order directly and bypass Just Eat / Deliveroo and their astronomical commission! Recommended to all.

Called the restaurant and gave such a lame excuse. On its way is so poor. Was an hour late!!!!

Great food - delivered promptly. Chips blew me away!

I enjoyed the meal apart from the ribs found they were over cooked with little meat on them. Generally enjoyable.

We always have fantastic food from here, great Chinese

Great meal will order again soon

Beautiful as always, gorgeous flavours, arrived freshly cooked+piping hot. My fave place to order from, just yummmy..

Best noodles ever. Will definitely use again.

Asked for no sauce but they kept the sauce on & late

Another amazing meal, I tried the duck curry for our "traditional Christmas eve" meal and it was fantastic. Many thanks to everyone who made it happen. Happy Christmas.

The food is always delicious. This should genuinely be a 5 star rated take away. I eat their food often and have never had anything that wasn’t exceptional.

Great service, came 30 minutes earlier than expected and fantastic food

The duck was fatty and not at all edible.
