The Laughing Buddha in Denbighshire

One of the best Chinese restaurants, very busy at weekends others it's quiet. The food is so delicious.

Very nice place, We had the banquet for 2 which was very nice & plenty of it we had to take some home as there was that much. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Small amount of parking spaces at the front but you can park across the road at the tyre place.

Best chinese restaurant in the area. Kenny is a gentleman and his chefs are 1st class

As a regular customer i am extremely disappointed in the food and service. I am a Vegetarian and I usually order the same meal, a mushroom omlette, so when I found meat (chicken) in my omlette I was horrified; My phone call to the restaurant was met with defensiveness and somehow them telling me off for not phoning the same day, followed by an an offer of 10% off my next meal. I did explain why I hadn't phoned the same day (yesterday 9th November) - I wasn't eating it until late therefore i didnt know the omelette had meat inside. (it was too late to phone as they would have been shut). Disgusting, will NOT be eating here ever again and I will be advising other's to do the same. **Edited to add, this is the first time I have had to complain.

Currently sat waiting over an hour a half for delivery, phone is off and no one’s turned up. Shocking really

I put an order in for a delivery at 6.40 pm they said it would be around 1 1/2 hours, didn’t arrive so I called to find out where my order was, I was told it had left, no idea when as the girl didn’t know, i waited another 1/2 hour to say I still haven’t received it, by this time it was an hour to be told the same, it had left the restaurant, it is over 2 1/2 hours now and the delivery just arrived at 9.10 pm, not hot , I asked the guy how long he had left the restaurant and he said 1/2 hour, which wasn’t correct When I pointed out that the food was not hot he was not bothered that my meal wasn’t hot and just said give it back, no apology whatsoever Really bad customer service from all staff I was not going to pay £28 for food that was not only very late but not hot Very disappointing

Love their western Cantonese food ~

Very good meal and service was brilliant

First time here, really good Chinese food. We had the set meal A which I thought was good value for money snd the food kept on coming, all really tasty, and time end with the banana split 😋 lovely. Will visit again.

Been going here for years as it’s been r favourite place in Rhyl BUT after tonight never again food was awful and so was the service !!!!!!

My work colleagues and I put in a large delivery order tonight to get us through a 12 hour night shift and to celebrate a birthday. There were around 40 different people ordering and was quite a complex order with people having a mix of meals and sides. The girl who took the order on the phone was patient and professional, and made sure the order was correct (unfortunately didn’t get her name!) Despite such a large order it came quickly, within an hour. Everything was correct and accounted for and still warm. The food was delicious! We have some very full and happy people working tonight! Thank you very much!

Lovely food, lovely staff and super quick service. Also, once we'd finished eating, we were left undisturbed to finish our drinks. Will certainly go again.

Ordered a take away while we were on holiday. The food was amazing and service and delivery were really good and quick delivery.

Really nice atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Wasn't too pricey either and the food was brilliant, very tasty!

it's clean lovely decor friendly staff

All round excellent experience.

Went here as last minute decision, excellent food and service, reasonably priced, would highly recommend and would definitely visit again when in the area.

Food is good but have to say the takeaway service is terrible, we ordered at 4:50 pm on a Saturday, we were told an hour and a half but may be sooner, it arrived at 6 :40. I don,t think that they do the food in order as nearly 2 hrs for a takeaway for two people is very excessive, after the hour and a half had been and gone, I rang them and the phone was constantly busy, eventually got through to be told it was just leaving. I think they should fulfill orders before they keep taking more, it's bad customer service. Won,t use them again.

Best Chinese we have had in a long while can't understand the poor reviews we would highly recommend this place for a meal

This is a great place for a lovely meal for our date night unfortunately I have a bad cold and thought it better to order a takeaway which we always are happy with.the l Buddah has a really lovely atmosphere when we do go. We had our wedding reception there and all our guests loved it. Service was exceptional even though so many at once ,they made our day! A********** stars from us xx

Great food excellent service would definitely recommend we got buffets superb

We went to the restaurant for my sister’s birthday whilst in the area on holiday. We arrived early and waited in the bar area which allowed us to see how busy it was and how well the staff worked. Out dinner was absolutely fantastic and all of us remarked it’s one of the best we’ve eaten in decades. Just a shame I don’t live closer lol

As a regular customer..I was a bit disappointed tonight. My mum ordered a Spanish omelette..It wasn't what she expected ..(she lives in Spain.)..the omelette contained chicken..prawns..mushrooms.! Luckily she is not allergic to prawns. The staff explained this is how they make Spanish omelette..that's is fine..but I think maybe a good idea to mention on the menu what it contains just in case anyone orders it thinking it's just potato..onions and eggs. The presentation was not great with omelette dumped on top of chips..be nicer served on separate plate.To be fair they did not charge her. I eat here often as do many family and friends and have to say this is first time had to complain. We didn't get any crackers as normal. On a good note..the ribs were amazing.

We ordered a large variety of takeaway which was ready within 30 minutes ( they were very busy) the food was fantastic and not too expensive. Would highly recommend this place.

Foos is always top draw along with outstanding service

We were recommended this Chinese restaurant and decided to go for our final holiday meal. We booked a table for 8 o’clock to allow us 2 hours to eat our meal ( the restaurant closed at 10 o’clock). On arrival we were asked to wait as the restaurant was extremely busy. They had obviously taken on too many bookings as it was very chaotic. We we’re sat down 30minutes after arriving The food and service during the beginning of our meal was fine. However as it approached closing time staff began cleaning the restaurant and shouting at each other. ( At this point we had only just been served our main course) . I asked to speak to the manager regarding the unprofessional behaviour of staff. The reply was “ we always shout to each other like that! “ she then proceeded to confirm this by asking one of her colleagues to confirm that this was the way they always acted towards each other🙄. In the end we decided to take our food home with us to eat it in piece there. The manager agreed to take our drinks of the bill. It just spoilt what should of been a lovely evening.

Lovely food and well priced, didnt have to wait long after ordering to pick it up. Take card and cash but they prefer cash. Polite staff

Haven't eaten in here for a while. Recently had a takeaway which wasn't as nice as some meals we've had inside in the past. No where near as nice .

Best Chinese food tasted Best salt & pepper chips Friendly staff Worth every penny

Food was lovely and can't fault the service but was charged a different price to what was on the menu that we were given

Just picked a take away up this evening from here - the worst - tastes awful - the only place for it is the bin .. waste of time and money

Came here for daughters birthday. Arrived around 6ish restaurant was already quite busy and didn't open till 5! Luckily was only 4 of us so managed to get seated, if there's a few of you I would suggest making a reservation so not to be disappointed. The service we recieved was great and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend and would most definitely return again.

Met Ken while visiting a friend who took me there, he was great a really nice guy food and drink were fabulous. Cheers Ken hope to visit again soon.

All the staff are so lovely and nothing is too much for them we had our engagement meal here and they were happy taking care of our engagement cake for us we love coming here and will definitely be back again soon

Excellent best chinese around food always lovely staff very friendly

Food here is lovely and plenty of it would recommend eat in or take away I have done both

2nd time on a take out and disappointed! Very average.

The best Chinese Banquet I've had in years, the food was delicious & plenty of it. The service was polite & cheerful we will definitely be returning to this place. I would 100% recommend The Laughing Buddha Restaurant. Make sure you book early though because this place is very very busy.

We have a takeaway at least twice a month. Won't go anywhere else .food is great service is great. All round top notch.

Gorgeous food, great service, and you can see through to the kitchen and watch everything being prepared, literally best Chinese food I've had outside of China Town. Well worth the trip, make sure you book so you're guaranteed a table - they do takeaway too if you can't 😉

Lovely place. Only had one meal here but would definitely recommend.

Food amazing and so are the staff, great customer service, it would be advised to book takeaways early as possible as this place gets very busy.

Brilliant service as always good was beautiful can’t ever fault it. Also amazing knowledge and understanding with my sons nut allergy. Will be back soon

Excellent food great staff and good atmosphere, I've been a few times and the food is always excellent.

First time for using as a delivery. Food good a lot of meat in the dishes. Asked for well done chips and they were just right Value for money Will order from there again.

The food was served to us 3 minutes after we put in the order, therfore the food must have been pre prepared and sitting. All seemed like they were in a rush to get us out. The food was OK, but I had a dodgy stomach for 2 days after I assumed it was the rice as we all had different foods.

Dilever said hour to hour and half waited 2 hours not answering the phone ! Went to collect as was fed up of waiting and was getting late and no apology just passed me the food avoid dilevery !!!!

I go to the restaurant apparently 2 times and month, and the food is beautiful. However I would advise people not to have a delivery service and we waiting 1 hour 45 minutes (half an hour longer than they said it would take) cardboard containers and paper bag was soaked through Condensation due to the food being in the car for a long time, this meant that the food had to heat it up in microwave so the you loose the integrity of the meal. The only saving grace is the driver apologised (proof that we had waited a stupid length of time. The bill came to £36.and the offer they gave us was..... "you can have a free meal when you order again" when rejected that offer the response was "well you've eaten it" even if we had eaten it all it would we were starving, but the recycle bin is nice and full. We made an error by saying it was 2 hour, a a flippant response was "he was back here for 9,so it only took him 15 mins to go back, may I ask why it took so long to go her? I am bitterly disappointed as they staff are so helpful when you go to the restaurant.... Bitterly. No pictures taken as they looked lovely.

Lovely food. Friendly staff with excellent service. However, a family of 6 and a highchair squashed on a round table, which wasn't big enough to put our food on. Had to put drinks on the radiator and empty plates straight away and put under chairs so we could eat. We were just too squashed, but the food was superb.

Have take aways from here often and the food is always first class. Have eaten in on a number of occasions and have always very much enjoyed the food the service and the friendly atmosphere.

Food excellent. Very busy so longer wait than expected for telephone order.

Tasty Chinese food. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Had a fabulous banquet tonight, Food amazing Service 10 out 10

Fantastic food, great service and friendly staff

Been there twice. First time it was so busy they struggled to seat us, but the owner did his best to accommodate our group. Second time we called ahead. Probably the best Chinese I've ever been to. I think I could eat my weight in their spring rolls.

First visit, but we'll definitely be back. Food was amazing, staff wonderful and great atmosphere.

Free sweets, mints good with kids, great atmosphere, average prices and in a good area

Visit every time we’re down at our caravan. Food and service great as usual! Starters, mains, sides and drinks for 5 came to £112. Will be back soon!

Very friendly restaurant with great service

1st visit for us despite living local. Wednesday early table booked and the place was full. Service was great & friendly despite being full. Banquet B for 2 ordered with a few tweaks to suit our taste. Tom yam soup was perfect! Crackers Starter platter perfect. Duck ok. Cantonese fillet steak really nice. Sweet sour chicken spot on. Special fried rice great. Beef & black bean sauce tasty. Banana fritters & ice cream were delish! Far too much food for two as each portion was plentiful so took most of the mains home in takeaway boxes. Waitresses were really busy but well organised and did really well. Bill was £73 with two wine spritzers and a pint of like soda. Only disappointment was the central heating was turned off and it was freezing inside especially as the front door was constantly opened for takeaways and diners coming and going. Would recommend booking as its obviously popular .

Fabulous food. Well worth a visit. Staff lovely and helpful.

We booked very last minute for 5 of us,theservice was very good.The food was excellent hot,tasty and good portions.I would say it depends on the banquet you choose whether it is too much food or not.We had the one without the duck and it was the perfect amount for two people,and good value for money. We have tried most of the Chinese restaurants on the coast and we always return to The Laughing Buddha as it's the best.

The service is exceptional. The banquet on their website is priced at £18.50, but when you get to the restaurant it is £25.50, which is bloomin annoying but we decided to go ahead. The food is very good and the service is great. Just too much for two people. If we’d been told how large the portions are we wouldn’t have ordered the banquet. Waste of food and money. Why not reduce your portion size and the price too? For anyone with a huge capacity for food, this is the place to go. It’ great food, great service if you like large portions. Ignore the usual naysayers, if you like Chinese food, this is a great place to eat.

Love place to eat , the service is great and the food is just fabulous i cant speak highly enough about the food my wife had sizzling king prawn and i had chicken kong po with spring rolls will definitely be visiting again

In our opinion the food was well overpriced other restaurants offer prawn cocktail no charge order lemon chicken that’s what you get a portion of breast with lemon sauce,nothing else on the plate,Singapore noodles not worth buying hardly any spice like eating cotton wool

A small party of us came tonight for a meal. The food was amazing n the service was brilliant. The only complaint I have is that 2 out of the party ordered a banquet meal for 2. It was about 6pm and the waitress said if your having the banquet you need to be out of here by 7.30 as we need the table. I thought that was really rude and bad customer service especially when a banquet takes a while to eat plus we were spending a lot of money. I said to the waitress have you gone round telling the other tables they have to be out by 7.30? I was really discusted. Apart from that one incident I really couldn't fault the place n would highly recommend it! The food was delicious!!!

The food was nice and the staff are friendly

Great food lovely and hot service. Fab had the set menu banquet A We hadn't booked just walked in staff found us a table straight away Loved the chairs get here early if you want to park Will come back another time

Amazing food, great price, excellent service.

I have enjoyed a meal here a number of times. I highly recommend this restaurant

We had a birthday celebration there while staying in Towyn and was recommended by my son who ate there and true to form food was lovely staff were very courteous and obliging especially Bo she was lovely thanks we will surely come back again👍🏼❤️ Harry

Looking for a great dinning experience , look no further than the Laughing Buddha. Booking the table was fast efficient and friendly. On arrival we greeted by Bo our sensational server, she welcomed us like returning regulars. The food was just as pleasing as the service. A great way to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary.. Thanks Bo and the rest of the team. Bruce

Been here a few times over a couple of years period and every time the food has been good. Can get very busy so order food in advance for take away. Prices are good also, staff are friendly the only thing that annoys me is that when you order cans of coke for takeaway they pull them out of a warm multi pack box which is annoying as you want a nice cold can with your food! All in all a very good takeaway / restaurant.

Very good food and fast service. If you need a nice Chinese meal this is the place to go to .

Ordered takeaway for delivery cost £45 only part of order arrived with rice missing rang them to be told rice could be delivered in an hours or 20% off next order ! Hnacccotable sonoasef to manager who reiterated the same an hour forctgecricecor 10% off etc when told that wasn’t an acceptable solution and either put rice in a taxi or re deliver the entire order in an hour and we would give them the cold but incomplete order back they’ve didnt like that idea. But we’re unwilling to change their solution of wait an hour for missing rice, share out what had been delivered or accept 10% off so spoke to Kenny the owner ! What a joke he was no solution to his incompetent staff bring unable to count 3 curries 3 rice. No solution to this problem snd to cap it all the food was crap , packet curry microwaved , none of the food had sen the angry side if a wok. The place looks nice from outside but the food is 2 star at best and not worth bothering with. Yeung sing may not look at trendy modern but food is 20 times better staff are better and service is well…. Service .

Updated 2023 still amazing food, staff always helpful, efficient and still Excellent food. Takeaway is awesome and you never have to wait long. My order has never been wrong and the lady who takes all the orders seems to be the most organised person I've ever come across. Highly recommended and worth a visit as we are regulars there now.

Food took about 1 hour and a half to arrive I wasn’t even hungry by the time I got my food, don’t wast your money and time here

Now this really was a very good find, we were visiting Rhyl ways, camping maybe 3 weeks ago, I had been on cooking duty for all the family all weekend, and on the last night I had the choice of takeaway to give myself a rest, and I chose the laughing Buddha just simply due to the great reviews. And let me tell you I really wasn't disappointed it was absolutely brilliant. From start to finish everyone enjoyed it, every single part of the meal was fantastic and I'd like to thank all staff involved.

Had a take away and a sit down meal in this restaurant, thoroughly enjoyed both meals I had. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurant is very clean. I'm adding to my original review, and since then, I have visited this restaurant every time I've been in the area. We have always thoroughly enjoyed the food and only wished we lived closer so we could visit more regularly.

Fantastic food, so quick! Hot & tasty

Loved this place! Best Chinese I’ve had in a long time, apart from the crab & sweetcorn soup, scollops were very under cooked. However everything else was absolutely delicious ♥️

Very rude staff Food was cold and tasteless

Lovely tasty food. Very quick service.

Been here twice now, years apart from each other. Visited last week with our little boy and we popped in last minute before heading home. We was accommodated straight away. Food arrived quickly and was served hot. Food was delicious. Its hard to find a good Chinese restaurant. Myself and husband ordered the banquet and extras needless to say we didn't finish it all and bagged up to bring home. Now usually we eat Chinese foods and end up feeling bloated due to added msg. But seriously felt fine wasn't bloated and we ate loads too. Would highly recommend visiting. It got really busy so probs best to book at busier times or take a chance and walk in like we did. Staff were super friendly. Place is clean and tidy. Cost was also fine not expensive at all.

Amazing food!!. Fantastic staff and a great service all round. We were sat down for just a bit longer than 5 mins and there was food there already. Brilliant place to visit will come again.

The food was so salty i couldn't eat most of the dishes! Also way overpriced...... plus they had an 11year old boy waiting on the people..i thought it was very wrong!

Lovely freshly made meals, gorgeous soups, great presentation, the best salt and pepper chips we've ever had, staff very friendly, 10/10, 👍, well recommended, 💯.

Delicious food, kind staff. What more could you want?

Just got a takeaway and to be honest I was let down by the standard of food cost nearly £40 the Malaysian chicken skewers wasn’t worth the £8 looks like something you get in farm foods for £1 also the salt and pepper wings x6 for £7.50 was absolutely shocking I personally would recommend a takeaway may be eating in would be different ?? But I won’t be coming back

The food was amazing and the portions are very big! (Myself and partner shared a rice and curry, and there was still plenty) party of 4 of us shared 4 different starters, and they were all delicious. The staff were friendly and polite and the prices were reasonable for the amount you receive.

Went on a Thursday night during the school holidays when the local area is busy and managed to get a table. Great set up, food was served really quick by lovely staff and tasted great, will happily return during my next visit to Rhyl.

A little expensive however price is not an issue when taste the food .Best Chinese I’ve had in a long time

It was okay - just okay! Spent £40 on 2 mains few sides, took 1.5 hours to be delivered. Salt and chilli chips are huge and absorb all the grease - avoid them. Egg fried rice was okay. Asked for chicken and chilli (hot) - says so on the menu and get like. Sweet and sour dish.

Visited on a Friday night as a family of 3. Ordered a soup, mixed starter, fillet steak in black bean, chicken in black bean, chips, salt and pepper chips, fried rice, boiled rice, prawn crackers, curry sauce, 2 wines and 3 pops for £78. Food was good. Only think I’d say is it’s a bit rough around the edges. People dining in lounge wear, kids running round and climbing outside, groups vaping at the front door. If you want to get dressed up nice like we did it’s maybe not the place to go. But for food quality it was good.

Great friendly helpful staff excellent food most definitely worth a return visit

Lovely food and drink with brilliant service. I would highly recommend The Laughing Buddha. when we are in the area is where we eat.

Superb Food. The service was very fast & Staff are Very Friendly ,our food was superb. The only thing I would like to see is a child's menu as the only choice for a child is Nugget & Chips from the main menu.

Little bit in the expensive side compared to other places I’ve been but quick service and good food

Absolutely best food the best Chinese around everyone so helpful thank you yummy

Best Chinese we’ve had for a long time, so tasty, would defo recommend to anyone who’s in the area on their holidays!
