REVIEWS OF The Smokin' Buddha IN Port Colborne

Brett B

Great selection of dishes and excellent flavours!

William MacEachern

The best restaurant in Port Colborne with delicious dishes. Butter chicken is legendary as are the Sobo pockets. Vegan and vegetarian options are available.

Cara R-N

I'm grateful we have The Smokin Buddha in PoCo and proved the naysayers wrong - people do want different and I love it! Whether you're fortunate to come across the food truck at a local market/festival or stop in to dine - your greatest feat will be what to have - so try the Mange Trois of apps - my faves are: pork gyoza (I can't replicate, I've tried), crab puffs, veggie samosa (a must-have snack at the market) - sorry to see Spicy Curried Goat Roti is no longer on the Appetizer menu for the perfect Mange Trois - great to share with a table or meal for two. BUT Thai Green Curry is back on the Curries menu - YEY! My absolute Buddha Favourite is ... KOREAN BEEF NOODLES - SO PLEASE don't take that away too ;) And then you have the specials to contend with. Enjoy a cold pint from an excellent selection while you ponder this great dilemma.

Sarah Walker

Love the burrito. I want to eat that every day. It's on the more expensive side, but I'll let it pass since it's covid and a small business. It works out because now the price limits me to how much I spend eating out.

Derek Macdonald

Great food, great ambiance....5 star all the way!!!

Camo Gas Repair Joe Renwick

Never thought I would find Thai food so good in this little town. 100% will be back.

Andrea Ciccone

Have always loved this place and will always love it. Kevin has an amazing staff that know how to cook up some of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever had, with gluten free options on the menu! Obsessed!!

Marni Kittleson

Our group of 10 from the states had amazing service and top notch food. Music just setting up when we left. Great beer selection as well!

Vance Fernandes

Kevin and Staff….Thank You for an excellent lunch …both food and service 5 Stars !

Dallin Schoen

Very good food. Call ahead to make a reservation as they are often packed.

Monique Stover

First time visiting Port Colborne and this restaurant was first one we saw on the map. Once we looked at the menu we wanted to try it. Food lived up to the pics! tasted delicious, the Kimchi Pockets were a great blend of flavours that exploded in my mouth with every new bite adding another layer: sweet and spicy!!

Terry Proveau

Had indoor dining for lunch here before Ontario closed indoor dining again! Staff were great and food was very good and new to us which was a pleasant experience! Prices are fair but a bit high for lunch maybe? Not sure if to they are about the same at dinner?

Harley Perrin

Definitely quality over quantity, but it is amazing quality. The people who work there are super nice too

Chris Vandermeulen

Will be back. The food is so excellent there.. Been here a few times and always good. Great service too.

Sarah Blais

I am obssessed with eating here! It is definetly my favorite restaurant! Their appetizers are all the perfect size and so yummy (the buddha flatbread is my favorite, its so unique) ! I love to order their weekly specials but everything on the menu is spiced perfectly and so delicious! The enviornment is very friendly and fun; they also have an awesome patio with live music some nights! Make sure to make a reservation before you go, all the locals know it is the best restaurant around!

Zak K.

Great food and atmosphere. A unique menu with ethnic foods from around the world. I have been multiple times and tried different menu items; every meal has been exceptional.

E C

Casual dining experience, very unique and tasty dishes . Excellent patio right along the canal.

Myles Calvert

Love the Pad Thai but have to be honest, I haven't tried anything else so my review is pretty limited. :) awesome location too.

Torpedo Penguin

The Smokin Buddha is easily the best restaurant in all of Port Colborne. The atmosphere is great the food is super tasty and the wait staff is efficient and very polite. No matter what you order you will definitely be satisfied!

Pamela Boese

I love the food here, and so do the people I know. Great flavours and good atmosphere.

Deanne Merante

Delicious Cashew chicken and spring rolls. I was with a friend on the patio. The only thing is September and the bees. They didn’t sting but they are a pain.

Philip Shore

Quick and friendly service! The food is amazing! Would recommend !!!!

Brian Stanicki

It's ok. Not worthy of the hype. Food is good but nothing you can't get at similar places.

Crystal Fisher

Yum! Small restaurant with Asian themed offerings. Honestly the menu here is great, if you are looking for something different. Steamwhistle and a few craft beers on tap. They post new specials to their Facebook page. If you are traveling the Friendship Trail by bike this is a stop to make. They have a bike rack and a repair station. Great food, nice patio in the summer and friendly staff.

Amanda Kramer

Amazing food great atmosphere friendly staff

Waiter service was TERRIBLE! Waited over 30 minutes and waitresses would plainly ignore. A waitress (Brunette) had the nerve to make small talk with some customers who were obviously drunk and done with their meals for about 15 minutes NEXT TO US!!! (Literally 2 feet from us). After she was done, she just pretended we didn't exist or something and left. That was very funny though. She didn't even bothered to see if we were being attended already. My mom noticed some people who came around 20 minutes after us and were served right away by the same brunette waitress. Unbelievable. There were not many people at all (few tables unoccupied) Had to check with bartender about ordering. He asked if a waiter served us already (after 30 minutes) and we answered no. He said: "oh, wow". Chris (bartender) was so nice, he brought us drinks to our table and completed our order instead of the waitresses; which is their job. Fire the waiters. I would if it was my business. At the very least they should attend a customer service class. Give a raise to Chris. He was so nice and did the waitress' job. I didn't get the waitress' name. Doesn't matter. Rude people deserve no recognition (or a very generous tip). Lol. Terrible service. Food was OK. RUDE waitresses/waiters. We went there around 9:20 pm. In summary, I wouldn't go ever again.

Zach G

Really great service, food and atmosphere!

Don Cormier

It without a question my favourite place in Port Colborne. The food is always amazing, the atmosphere and the entertainment is always just perfect for the night and I want to return the next day. Missing you guys during this pandemic.

West Mcdonald

Port Colborne is unbelievably lucky to have The Smoking Buddha. The food is the most sublime mix of eastern flavours covering India, Thailand, Korea, and Vietnam (I made this part up based on what I've eaten off the menu). The atmosphere is from another world, more akin toe NYC and London UK. The owner is a darn fine man. Do yourself a favour: Eat here. Often.

Bob Keith

Great food

Nichi

This was so amazing. Will totally be back. Got appetizer, soup, and entree all was delish! ???? Nice anniversary date for me and hubby ????

Ron Fischer

Great food with an East Indian flair, atmosphere is relaxed, Service is a little slow

Sharon Abram

Affordable prices, really nice food, friendly waitress and nice atmosphere!

Deanna Seguin

Great food and service...would go again!

Stephanie

Atmosphere and staff are nice, no complaints. The food is....okay. The theme I noticed was very sugary dishes; the Thai curry just doesn't taste like any curry I've ever ordered from a legitimate Thai restaurant. It was lacking the distinct curry spice combination and was very sweet. Likewise, the samosas were served with a sauce I can only describe as being a syrup. I would have put it on my pancakes, not paired it with the flavour of a samosa. Even the Korean Noodles were served in a sugary sauce that left me unable to finish the portion. Maybe I'm just being too picky, but why offer specific cuisine when your recipies are far from the real deal? If you want Asian food, I would suggest you order from different restaurants. Beer selection was nice, and the house brew was pretty tasty.

Shanta R. Nathwani

The gyoza were amazing! Baked, not fried, veggie samosa. The serving sizes were perfect and we had to try each other's main dishes. My friend ordered another one of mine just to take for lunch the next day. Wish I had ordered his too! All local wines which were a great choice. We'll make the trip back for sure.

Ntayega .A. Hamissi

Delicious food and excellent customer service

Ben Riegle

The staff was kind with our reservation request but asked if we could come 15 mins sooner than requested as there were other large groups coming. They provided a wonderful meal made right in front of us that we all enjoyed. Some portion sizes looked smaller than others, for lighter eaters it was perfect but for hungry people like would have left me a little empty. Jerk chicken bowl however was packed and filled me up with great food. Would definitely recommend.

Chris Radimer

My wife and I had Vindaloo chicken and green curry chicken. Both were extremely tasty and well prepared. Staff were friendly and service was quick.

M G

The kimchi pockets are delicious! Nice atmosphere, great food, friendly staff, good price. If you are going on a Friday or Saturday night be sure to make a reservation though.

Rebecca Mcquiggan

The best food in town can't go wrong at the Buddha

Vanessa Durante

Went to this restaurant based on a friends recommendation. Amazing place for dinner, great environment with friendly service and excellent food. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking to support local business. The menu has a variety of choices, you can’t go wrong. The menu items indicate the spicy level, which we found accurate. My meal was cashew chicken, my friends ordered butter chicken (spicy), and peanut curry.

justin casey

Are you ready for high food dinning, the smokin buddha is a symphony of taste and flavour and one with a great atmosphere!!!

POCOMAR Training Officer

One of Port Colbornes gems.....The service is always great and the food is fantastic. Keep up the great work!

Kathryn Kilpatrick

Excellent food, good prices, friendly service.

Evil Monkey

Never had a bad meal here. Inspired and ever changing menu. Staff are incredibly good.

Nolan Barchiesi

My favourite restaurant in port Colborne

robert lindsay

The food is really good! and fairly priced.. The staff is pleasant to deal with. I got the Chana Masala made vegan style. This was my first time here. I am From St. Catharines, and I will be back with my family soon. Thankyou Smokin' Buddha

Obianuju Ntagu

The food here is very nice ???? ???? ???? I would be back to try out the rest of the menu ????

Curtis Wolek

Food is always incredible. Wonderful service and dining experience. Will always make a point to pop in any time we are in Port Colborne. Definitely should be on anyone's "must eat here" list.

Kaitlyn Migus

I personally wasn't happy with my meal selection. HOWEVER the group I was with loves everything ordered.

peter zelko

Great Asian Fusion eatery. A must for any local or visitors. Food is fantastic and prices are reasonable.

Carey

Such a delightful surprise! Their amazingly eclectic menu makes your decision impossible. The dishes were superb (Antojitos and Gyoza for appies & Thai Peanut Curry and Beef Vindaloo for mains) A huge thank you to the servers, chefs and owner Kevin for making my first experience, not my last experience. Was well worth the 40 minute drive!

Aileen D (AKGeekGirl)

Always delicious food, super unique cuisine, really neat atmosphere. Always happy to eat here when we visit Port Colborne!

Kathleen Bradley

Absolutely loved it here. Their yellow chicken curry was great !

Mark Papp

Great customer support and great food. Very diverse meals where the food is from local farmers markets.

miles slauson

OMG the food is amazing can't wait to come back.

Peter Graves

Had a fantastic meal here. Was a busy restaurant and made a late reservation. Waitress was great and the food was amazing,, 2 pad thai's, a green curry dish and a red curry dish,, all were much appreciated by our party. Great restaurant!!!!

John Thiessen

Very interesting food, and mix of cultures. Not out of this world, however solid across the board. Small. Consider reservations.

JustBlayz

Amazing atmosphere! Food is top-notch

Jack 1059

Fantastic funky eatery with great Asian and Asian fusion good. I just had the 3 starters plate and it was fantastic. Best inari sushi I've ever had, great gyoza and a really lovely chicken sate. Highly recommend.

Ron Wright

The food is unbeleivable. Everything we had was amazing! I felt like I indulged in great cuisine, but did not feel destroyed with the fatigue and regret I normally feel after eating so much. The service is great- friendly and on the ball. No waiting too long for anything. This place offers a great dining experience.

Brian Kimbel

The only problem is there are too many good things on the menu, you'll need to come back several times to try everything. Friendly staff, owner is very caring.

Sandy McIntyre

It was just okay. We were seated outside and a storm came up and they couldn't accommodate us by going inside because the place is so small. The food was good and the servers were very good. I suggest to anyone who plans on going to make reservations first. I find it a wee bit pricey for Port Colborne and I wouldn't go running back.

Robin BANNERMAN

So nice to enjoy the delicious food on the patio!

Maegan Baird

Port Colborne's hidden gem! Finger crossed they eventually open a location in Hamilton!

Melynda Hoeksema

Great place! Food was delicious, service was excellent, staff was super friendly!

Charlotte King

I thought I finally had a chance to try some of the Smokin Buddha cuisine at the recent Graze The Bench but not so - they had 2 features (which by the way looked delicious) BUT they were both hot spicy and not everyone can eat or enjoys hot spicy food. Tip - in the future - have one hot/spicy entree and one that is NOT so those of us (and there are lots of us) who don't enjoy the heat can have a sample.

Phil

Went for dinner and was very busy. Beer is pricy and only 16oz glasses. Food was ok. Had the chicken vindaloo and not as tasty or spicy as I normally get in Toronto.

Ryan George

Awesome staff, awesome venue, And even better food!

Doug MacGregor

Great food, traditional flavours with a modern fusion. Every time it's delish".

Caitlin Hagar

One of Niagara's treasures to be sure. A diverse menu with Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten Free options. The Yellow Curry is my all time favourite and the Lavender Creme Brulee is the stuff dreams are made of. Seating is limited in the sense that it is always busy! Definitely make reservations ahead of time to ensure a table and delicious meal. Great staff and check them out at local niagara food festivals and markets.

Graeme Hogg

Mange Trois with spring rolls, pork gyoza, and samosa with Korean Beef or Pad Thai as your main. You're welcome.

Min Cui

Most terrible food ever! The pad tai we ordered are not even cooked! Shame on you, chef at smoking Buddha!!! The curry beef does not have salt!!! Unbelievable!

Andrew Vermeltfoort

I had a really nice time good service and very nice about working with food allergies

Alan Roy

Favourite restaurant in Niagara. Kimchi pockets and bulgogi bowl are a must try.

JML

Exceptional Food. I will definitely be back to try out some other dishes! ????

Taylor Beni

Great food, great service, will be going back very soon!

Alexander

Ordered take out, right from the hop the guy on the phone was friendly while taking our order. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by all the staff while we waited for our food to be ready. Everyone was very hospitable. The owner brought the food to us himself and thanked us for our order which was a nice touch. Food was very tasty, butter chicken was very creamy and the udon soup full of flavour. Samosas were also very good. Only complaint was the chicken pieces in the curry and soup were a little chewy. All in all it was a pleasant experience and great food. Will be back to try out other menu options in the future.

Alex Montana

Delicious food, reservations are definitely a good idea.

Cole Warner

Hands down one of the best places to eat in port. Every time I eat here I can't wait to go again. Unique choices and amazing tastes all at reasonable prices. Not to mention their on tap beer selection is fantastic, great micro brewery selection.

Sara Alfaro

Great food, environment and service, good prices

Anita C

Anything less than amazing would be a disservice to this place, and even that feels like an understatement. The choice of menu and the take on Asian inspired fusion dishes is impeccable, you're full but your tastebuds want more. A must visit when you're in town, you won't be disappointed. Friendly staff, good service, I love hidden gems.

Patrick McKinnon

Great food, fun charged atmosphere for younger crowd. Some fusion dishes. Staff were friendly.

Dinah Wray

Great quality food and attentive staff.

T Durksen

Great food, friendly staff, warm environment. Overall just a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend this for any occasion. Can dress up or dress down and not feel out of place.

Jackal J

Delicious food and great service. A great place for vegetarian and vegan options.

Cicely Sparks

I ordered the pork gyoza, crab puffs and chicken pad Thai. The Pad Thai was really good and flavourful. The gyoza was also good, but I was expecting a dipping sauce other than just soya sauce. The crab puffs were ok, I wanted more of a deep fried pastry puff, but it was more a wrap. I ordered at the restaurant and was given a time of 25-30min when it actually took closer to 40min. Also the menu was different (smaller) then what I seen online and for now if you want to eat on the patio, they stop seating people 1.5-2hrs before closing. But you can still order take out.

Jenna Schall

just delicious! fell in love with the pad Thai at the crystal beach supper market a couple years ago and have been missing my Thursday night tradition since it was cancelled due to the pandemic. drove from crystal beach to pick up dinner from the smokin buddha and it did not disappoint! everything was so flavourful and fresh. particularly loved the red Thai chicken curry. so good!!

Albino Rhino (Albino Rhino Beer Review)

Amazing service and amazing food good prices too especially for where you are in Port Colborne.

L. S.

A fantastic lunch at a fantastic place. If anyone gets to Port Colborne, this is a place to visit. The food is amazing and plenty to choose from. Very good food, very well priced and a friendly atmosphere is what this place is all about. They also have gluten free options.

Victoria R

My favourite place to eat! The food is incredible. They even have a food truck and offer takeout. I could eat here every day!

Leo Denbesten

They have really good tasting food and are really reasonable with their price I will definitely be back again.

Tanya B

I'm literally sitting here while all the delicousness has sunken in! I love it! It's tasty. The aroma and flavors are FANTASTIC!!! I can see myself driving here again (even tho its an hour and 15min drive.) I had menage trois (3 apps); sobo pockets, naan pizza and avocatta dip (its not a traditional avocado guac - it's like, summer in a bowl!!!) It's fresh and ohhh soo good! I'm very happy i was introduced to this restaurant!

Kristina Toomey

I was looking forward to Pad Tai and got a bowl of eggy rice noodle soup. Would have been nice if I was offered something different instead of an "oh I'm surprised". Apps were okay and mango salad disappointing. It was mostly lettuce. Never had one with lettuce before.

Backroads Motos

One of our favourite restaurants! We found them three years ago and ride out there regularly for lunch or dinner. The Pad Thai is one of my favs but I’ve tried the majority of their menu now :)

Judi Rock

Amazing and unexpected delight of flavours and service that is exceptional will be back again and again!

Stormy Rider

I can't get enough of the food here! Great service and fantastic food! Looking for something different then this is the place for you!

Miguel Chang

Stopped here for a some small appetizers before hopping into a ship in the canal. This place has a nice interior decoration along with outdoor sitting. Pretty busy when my coworker and I arrived, but service was great. Ordered the Avacotta Dip and Bangkok Fish Cakes, the dip was good and the fish cakes was a little bit sweet. Next time will try their main dishes (curries and favorites).

Brandon Smith-Scolaro

I love it here, my favorite restaurant in my home town. I always try to go as much as I can, the food is amazing. Not to mention it is probably the only place in Port Colborne where you can get some international dishes. Leave room for desert and try the Banana you won't regret it!

Trav Mane

Great food,location is low-key not really known but great place to dine-in

Kerry Corbett

Enjoyed it very much. Great atmosphere. Wait staff was excellent. Food was delicious and exciting. Pad Thai was tasty and ginger beef noodles were yummy too.

Phil B (Flea)

The food is great for the price. Wear a few extra layers of clothes in the winter, very cold and drafty along the windows.

Jesse Hicks

Always great food, good selection of drinks, excellent service

Bosslady

Great spot with amazing service! Really kind, down to earth people who care about their business! A little something for everyone and everything is deeee-lish! If you havent been and are on the fence......GO! You'll love it!

Lorraine Wentz

Looooove this restaurant!! The food is always amazing and the staff are lovely!!

Carolyn Dyer

Had a fantastic meal there yesterday - the food was delicious and warmed the soul. Excellent local drink selection and the vibe was relaxing. I have been there a few times and have gotten take out, consistently really good! Amazing to see the owner helping out all around the restaurant, clearly cares and the passion comes through; this is a local business I want to support. Highly recommend to check it out if in the area.

Heather King

Great little spot. The atmosphere is awesome, love the patio in the warmer months. The food is always impressive! Nice beer selection! Great service! The food truck is also great when you can find them at local festivals! Definitely a must try!

Maria Varaeva

Amazing food. My coworker and I got yellow curry and peanut chicken. Fairly priced.

Joe Gonzalez

Are you looking for International Cuisine? You can find it without the air fare right here! What is my favourite dish here? There are too many to list.

Matthew Haslinger

I wish I could give this place a good review but unfortunately they literally almost killed me as a result of their complete disregard for my allergies. I told the waitress I had allergies to tree nuts and asked her if she could check with the chef for recommendations. She came back with several recommendations and I ended up picking one (Butter Chicken). I turns out that the Butter Chicken had cashews which the waitress claimed was not a tree nut. Fusion restaurants like this are typically more careful when it comes to allergies including nuts. I'm disappointed that it ruined not only the evening but my entire weekend as I recovered in the hospital.

Aaron Cat

Great vegetarian options. I got the Kimchi pockets they were great.

Bill Walsh

Artichoke dip was bland. crab roll was more of sandwich wrap that had a bland filling. Korean noodles was a small bowl for what you pay for and was dull. I think people think this place is sophisticated but I think they’re just in love with the name of the place.

Stitch 308

I have eatten at this place so many times. I dont recall a bad meal or service. Cant say that about to many places. I like it.

Sam Schulz

Smoking Buddha brought their food truck to our wedding and did the most amazing job! We can't recommend them highly enough! Great food and great service!

Sean Morris

Great food. Great atmosphere

jessica h

Food is great and the service is wonderful. The owner was really great with our group ordering a bunch of take out and went above an beyond for us. Really enjoyed the green curry!

Lisa VanAlstine

Very tasty food, quick lunch

Angela

Great food and great service! You have to try the Buddha beer :)

Jason Broadfield

Unbelievable food!!! The green peanut curry is to die for!!! Can’t go wrong eating here!! Enjoy!!

1Sherman Lee

Great food and a bit different. Very tasty!

Quinn Robson

Every appetizer and entre I have had from here have been fantastic. Whether you're feeling some Mexican food, I highly recommend the Chicken Enchilada, or have a hankering for a Korean dish, the Korean Noodle is amazing. In fact, Kevin gave me this spicy red sauce (generic name I wrote here forgive me I don't remember the exact name of it), and it was perfect for the Korean noodle. I'm very much looking forward to my next meal; the Vindaloo Curry. I have had multiple friends recommend and say it's a "must try". Plus, very friendly staff who go out of their way to make your dining experience an enjoyable one, whether it's take out or for eating there (looking forward to that soon!). If you're ever in Port Colborne, or Niagara generally, and are looking for some diverse selections of international cuisine and top level service; The Smokin' Buddha is the way to go 100%. Keep up the great work! #Supportlocalrestaurants

Derek Galipeau

Best food, fresh ingredients, great location, excellent value.

Roberta Vriesema

Some issues with our order - but place was FULL. Food was delicious and spicy. Decor was fun.

Carolyn Ambrose

Saturday afternoons are great. We enjoyed a couple of drinks and appetizers over a while. Service constant and friendly. Food fresh and tasty. Love the deal of 3 appetizers for $26.

john smits

Great restaurant, with a lot of personality, like its owner!

Kevin Reles

It just so different from most other restaurants.. I always try something new and I am always happy I did!

Justin Turner

Great food. Small venue. Call for a reservation.

Rebecca Carr

The most amazing Asian fusion I've tasted. ❤️

Emily Butko

Good, americanized/(canadianized?) Thai food and other eastern dishes. OK selection of wine and beer. Cool vibe and interesting decor. Extremely friendly staff, amazing service.

Rachel Gracey

Always excellent, always comfortable, always busy. Our favourite restaurant in town.

Sofia Sep

Delicious food, excellent service!!!

Coleston Pluzak

Everytime I come visit family in Port they take me here, it's a really solid place, everything I've tried on the menu has been very delicious, although one time my cousin had to order two meals to get enough food after a long day.

Jeff Ballin

It's no surprise this restaurant was featured on the Food Network show "You Gotta Eat Here". A delicious eclectic menu that you normally wouldn't expect in a small town eatery, the Buddha has become a destination spot to eat.

Rudy Gerling

Great did and atmosphere in the picturesque town of Port Colborne. Located in an old train station, serving up amazing curries and other Asian inspired dishes (and a couple Mexican). If you're in the area, make sure to stop here!

Jose da Silva

Good Food and Good Service. Probably one of the best places in town. I'm never disappointed when I go there.

Yann Tastayre

This place is awesome. There's a great mix of different ethnicities in their food and a good beer selection. The peanut Curry is on point.

Bruce MacDonald

I've been here several times, great and interesting food. Good beer selection and very casual. Great for Vegetarians and Vegans... but I liked it too ????. I also like arriving here by bicycle from the towns near by cycling trails. They even have a bike repair stand and air pump!

Bryan L'Ecuyer

Good food nice place. Some dishes though are way to salty but other then that good

Brent Cook

I love this place Had the Thai beef salad today and just can't get enough Budha!!!! Every time I eat here I look forward to our wedding which will be catered by the smokin budha

Sera Gordon

Eclectic and able to accommodate a wide range of palettes. Great patio in the summer too :)

Rod Sanford

Friendly staff, clean with a good selection of beer. Portions matched the price. Would recommand, even gluten free items.

Richard Paladino

Wow. Amazing healthy food and exceptional service. If you are a foodie, you must check it out. They even have a herb garden outside.

Lucas Eymann

I can’t find a better restaurant. I come here every chance I can. Friendly owner too

Lynn Lyons

A great little spot for lunch etc.in Port Colborne. Really enjoyed the food, great wait staff too.

C Sasani

Authentic and delicious food, great ambiance, exceptional service and super kind and awesome staff! Love coming here!

Carolina Ayala

After a nice bike ride on the Welland canal, we came across to this little gem. Great vegan options, relax atmosphere and very good service.

Amber Haug (amberhaug)

As a Port Colborne resident, I can confirm this is one of the favourites for the locals and visitors alike. I haven't been here for a sit down dinner in years, but my husband and I will often order take out from here. I definitely recommend the thai chicken salad, and he is in love with the butter chicken. I have heard great things about the pad thai as well.

Stephen Demetriades

Every item on the menu seems to be delicious. I am happy to have gone with people who like to share so I got to try a variety of dishes! The Thai banana dessert is an amazing way to finish off your meal. Highly recommended to anyone in the area.

Corey Williams

Very tasty food, however it can fill up fast and quickly become busy. The pad Thai is delicious, although the tofu leaves you wanting.

Michael Marco

Highly recommend the Thai peanut curry!!

Kat Dupuis

Loved the food. Excellent apps for great prices.

Rob Salewytsch

Great food, great location, great staff. Supports the community. Definitely one of my favourite "go-to's"

steph dejardin

Amazing food and wonderful staff!

Shawn Kenner

Interesting combinations of eastern inspired dishes. Great location to bike to. Recommend!

Ed Hemphill

First time to Port Colborne and so a first for Smokin' Buddha. Was totally taken back by this fantastic little restaurant in the old train station. It was such a lively atmosphere with people eating and having fun. It is always a thrill to watch your food being made and the food we had was fantastic. Port Colborne is seeing a real rejuvenation of the old downtown core. Lots of great shops, cafes and restaurants. I would highly recommend making this place one your stops

Gabriela

Great dishes for those who are vegan/ gluten free. I had the green coconut curry, it was a little on the sweet side but was still delicious. Very busy place for lunch, would recommend phoning ahead of time as there is limited seating.

Katie Hy

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Sooo happy with our order. Thai yellow curry was soooo good the only thing was that I could have had twice the rice to make it last longer cos the sauce was soooo good. Did I say it was delicious?? Zach was a great ambassador. If you are in Port Colborne this is THE place. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Serge Landry

Food is delicious Will come back for sure

Vince Lalonde

Great find in Port Colborne. Good value for your money, dishes are well thought out and menu is clear and simple. Do yourself a favor and get out of the tourist traps in Niagara region for lunch or dinner.

Jasmina Brown

The Smokin Buddha serves you dishes from around the world! My favourite restaurant in Port Colborne! I have tried about 6 dishes on the menu (Pad Thai, Thai green curry, Thai yellow curry, Panang, Vindaloo and Korean noodles) and have not been disappointed with anything! I just wish the restaurant was a little bigger. I highly recommend this place!

torunn Skjold-Pettersen

Food was good. Service was a little slow. But the food was worth the wait.

Trevor R.N.

For a small city like Port Colborne it is an excellent place to eat for an eclectic mix of foreign cuisine.

Myranda Wilson

Yet to come here and be disappointed food is amazing and staff is super friendly

John S

ben minbashian

Great food at a reasonable price.

Craig Spriegel

Nice hybrid kind of restaurant. Food is decent and service is nice. Its nice in summer when they open their patio up. Inside seating is bit uncomfortable but patio seating is very nice.

Connor Visser

Great food, reasonable prices interesting and cultural ambiance!

Valentina May

Excellent and well prepared. Very fresh and flavorful.

Armin Hammer

This is legit the best meal I've had in 2020 so far. I do not have one complaint. I will definitely be returning.

Bala-Kay G

Had to wait a bit because of Canal Days but it was well worth it! Place was busy but the staff was very friendly and the food was great. Wish I lived a bit closer to make this a monthly indulgence.

AL

Great food! and Not your typical chicken finger / burger joint. Awesome patio and cyclist friendly and a great staff! Give it a try

Ken Scholtens

Combination of Mexican and Thai food. Some of the best in Niagara.

Laura Leitch

Great Food, excellent service. We had the butter chicken, and the beef bulgogi, both were delicious. To the point we even said we would drive the two hours each way to return just for the food! Great drink selection as well

Debbie Flemington

Every meal we've ever ordered is fantastic. Tonight was cashew Chicken and chicken Pad Thai. Always fresh and oh so good. Staff is so friendly. Highly recommend

J Pruden

Great food, Asian/Indian dishes. Small interior with a great atmosphere. Lots of patio space in the summer. Always a top choice for us for a nice meal out. Prices are reasonable and service is quick.

Bill MacDonald

If you are in port colborne you should definitely stop in here for a meal. Food is outstanding. If its in the summer you happen to be there they have a great patio

christa thompson

Butter chicken and vegetable samosas were awesome. Will be going back.

Becky Kustor

Food was great as always service was friendly felt very safe

Emma Fedorchuk

Food is delicious and the service is wonderful! Tried their new crab rangoon dip and it was amazing!

Matthew Toppazzini

Tried the “kelsee”. Great meal would eat again!

J.S. L

Jerk chicken was overly dry & bland. Also pretty weak to charge for refills of pop. Salsa & chips were pretty good though.

Jesse Tonack

Small portions. Eclectic crowd. Great Friendly service. Could use a domestic beer or two

John Hanna

The bulgoki bowl had beef that was closer to shoe leather than sirloin tip. The wontons were reasonable. The spring rolls were previously frozen and rewarmed somehow.....a disappointment.

Ken MacSweyn

Been coming here for about three years - this place will have my business for life! Especially love the pad Thai and their curry dishes.

Sean Soper

Was asked whether reservations were made (6:30PM), when we answered no, we were told they were booked solid until 8:30 (the restaurant was half empty). Really short sighted not to have tables in surplus for drop ins...I mean we weren't even offered a table or spot at the bar? No reservation...no meal. We took our money elsewhere and had a great meal at Walters/Neptunes. So; when the trendy Budda refuses you service, head over to Walters (Greek food +), they were glad to serve...and the food was great. (reasonably priced too.) I won't be back to the Smokin Budda, wouldn't recommend to friends and won't be making any reservations.

Graham Lovell

An interesting selection of international cuisine. Tried several dishes and all were fabulous. One of our favourite restaurants.

Michelle Robertson

Delish, as always. Very skimpy on the chicken. Rice to meat ratio is way out of whack.

Brendan Wylie-Toal

If you like flavour and heat, this is a great spot. Lots of variety of some of the world's best dishes, from Indian, to Thai, to Korean. A new favourite for me.

Kathy Porcaro

Food was excellent. Very good service. Love the patio!!

Scott Koole

Excellent food and friendly staff making for an all around pleasant experience.

JT B

You have to book ahead because it's incredibly popular, but it's easy to get a table if you call ahead and its popularity is completely justified. We came from far out of town just to try this place and absolutely will trek back again

nick s

Had great lunch. Food well prepared.sevice great

Michael Cockhill

Food is very good. A twist on some standard Asian and Mexican favourites. A little on the pricey side but you do get a nice variety in one place.

Bub S

Prices are a little high for your portions but we enjoyed our food and it's always busy

Stevyn Moss

Excellent food. Service is to be expected from small town stop. 2 meals eaten so far, will come back again

Gary Graves

A great night with friends on the patio for dinner. Food was great. The restaurant was full, and the server had great recommendations for the food choices.

Susana Nagy

Amazing food and outstanding service. Thanks for a great evening and for making 9ur anniversary memorable. ❤❤❤❤

JJ RIENAS

The best restaurant in Port Colborne! Korean noodles and butter chicken are our go-to orders- definitely recommend!

Andrea Wood

Unique ethnic dishes. Don't come if you are overly picky. You won't find burgers and fries here! Seriously good food. Difficult to get in at times, limited seating and no reservations on busy nights. Worth the effort. Try the peanut chicken satays!

Taylor Holmes

I had such high hopes for this place when I moved to Port Colborne because this restaurant has vegan options. Honestly, my partner who eats meat has enjoyed his meals here. However, this was my 4th visit to this restaurant and every time has been worse! I first tried the bowl which was okay but I felt like I could have easily made it myself for half the price. Second and third time I tried the green and peanut curries - both instances the tofu was uncooked and unseasoned. I tried to chalk it up to the hope that maybe curries were not their specialty, and that some other meals might be better. On this fourth and final try, I ordered vegan pad Thai thinking it was a fail safe. Not only did the noodles have no sauce but had RAW Green beans in the dish and barely cooked peppers in the dish. It was literally one cup of rice noodles with raw vegetable and peanuts on top. My partner who will eat literally anything wouldn’t even finish it when I decided to order from Lucky Thai instead. Not only have I given this place 4 chances, but it has been steadily worse every time. I can only speak for the vegan options which I would say are a no go. Raw unseasoned tofu is never okay. Go to lucky Thai instead.

John Myn

Support them during the pandemic lockdown. Great food and friendly staff.

Andrew Stapleford

The food was great, but make sure you call for reservations. It was packed on a Wednesday night.

Fasteddy Fasteddy

Awesome food. Awesome atmosphere

B

Gets busy at times, so be aware of some wait times. But it's busy for a reason! Great food, unique options, friendly people, and fair prices. A local gem!

Edward Lorincz

Never had a bad meal here! Amazing flavours amazing service amazing meals.

Gordon Davis

wanted to try something different and they delivered, wonderful friendly service.

B FFe

Amazing customer service from all departments here. Props to the chef for making excellent food, I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my pad Thai. The gentleman on the phone had a very happy and polite manner to him. Enjoyed this experience very much, I highly recommend ordering from here. I will be back to satisfy another craving.

Kev Hannigan

Amazing food and great service, very friendly!!!

Angela Brown

Love this place????♥️????. Fabulous food & fabulous service.

Harsit Patel

Was looking forward to dining here after a recommendation. Saw it was featured on "you gotta eat here!" In 2013. Things must have gone downhill since. On arrival was greeted and seated promptly. Appetizer sizes are very very small and hence pricey. Had a yam Burrito for the main, was very small and lacked flavour other than Yam. Wasn't offered a drink refill until the very end, my wife was not offered one at all even though her glass was also empty. When the bill came it was incorrect.The servers notified all other guests except for us of the two dollars off on Wednesdays for appetizers but charged us full price, was not very impressed by this.

Ryan Rumsby

Phenomenal food from all around the world. Never disappoints.

Victor Goertz

Loved the food though the restaurant set up is a bit tight. A bit far to drive but worth it for the food.

Abell A07064

Excellent service, great food!

Kim Legros

I love this place! Food and service are fantastic!!

Samantha Marshall

Absolutely amazing place to eat! You gotta eat here forsure. Kevin and staff are absolutely amazing. Great food great service and great atmosphere. Price is right for the portions size you will not leave hungry or broke. The smokin buddha has a fast variety of choices when it comes to food choices. Highly recommended establishment.

Kevin McIntyre

The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the place was really clean.

Kostya K

I liked the place! Delicious food, nice choice of beverages. A lot of food is a bit on a spicy side, so be careful.

S Madsen

Server good, beer good, food C-. Crab puff was fake crab w/cream cheese in a wrap. Hot & Sour soup fire engine hot, not your traditional. Lemongrass chicken salad- dressing very nice, veggies crisp and fresh, where's the chicken and thin noodles more than al dente. Maybe a thicker noodle would be better.

Mark Anley

Great little place in Port Colborne. Great vegetarian and vegan options. Tasty and unique options. Worth the visit.

hank chen

Did not take a picture, but the owner is so kind to allow us (with four cars) to use their parking lot while we took a quick tour nearby. Will visit this restaurant next time for sure in the future.

Daniel

The food was great! I got the mussels they were so tender and the soup was amazing! Service was a little slow though.

Nancy Biljan

Possibly one of the bast places to eat Indian inspired food! Very small place call ahead to make reservations! Portions are fair! This place was featured on YOU GOT TO EAT HERE. If you like Indian food this is the place to go you won't regret it nor forget it!

Hamilton Dispatch

The best food in town

Robert Hyde

Excellent first time experience with an appetizer lunch today. We'll be back for dinner soon. ????

Stephanie L

Great food & great service everytime we go!

David Brown

Fantastic food and atmosphere

Edward Pavey

Nice place, live music! Good food if you are a fan of curry...

Larry Zuney

Some of the best green curry chicken I've ever had.

Deandra Howes

Delicious food! Good service! Place was very small, not what I was expecting. In the summer there is more room with the big patio. Yum! I would def go back

Jennifer Cecchini

Really good food,they need to make the place bigger

Andrew Whyte

Had a great dinner. Even on a weekday night on the winter the place was busy and full of customers. Great menu variety and the staff were very friendly

Robert Ribaric

Great service and great food. Looking forward to going back.

Lise Clayton

A hot spot in Port Colborne with quick, hot food. The menu has a great variety and the prices are reasonable. I suggest always making an reservation unless it's just for two.

Devin Vanderlaan

Great Thai food. Call ahead for reservations

Gregory Walsh

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic food, local drink selection, highly recommend!!!

Chris Rumboldt

Tried the Singapore noodle. I love spicy food. I have a degree from George Brown College in cullinary arts. This dish was so salty that I had a hard time eating it & sent back 3/4 of the dish. My wife had the butter chicken and I must addmit was good along with the appatissers. Receiving the bill of $72. My wife asked if they would credit the salty dish. They flat out said NO. They say no salt is added, but fail to mention the soya sauce which is whare the salt comes from. Sad, I'm a local home owner and will never recomend this restaurant. If you have strong cooking skills and just want someone to cook for you & enjoy spicy foods. Try Amigos across the street. You get quality food at a fair price. I also feel they would hear your complaints and tend to them in a professional manner. Unlike the Budda, who showed no concearns about my unhappiness with the food. Not mad, just disappointed. Just my experience!

Peter McAlpine

Smokin Budda. Port Colborne food was excellent. Flavors incredible.

Josh Dayboll

Always a great meal at an extremely reasonable price for the quality.

Cal Manley

Excellent blend of Asian Indian foods. Good variety of draft beers and wines.

Gloria Horne

Hmmm sad to say we were a bit dissapointed. We had samosas, pad thai and cashew chicken. Found it pricier then other thai restaurants and food was just ok. Sorry we wont be back.

Kym Mosgeller

Delicious food! Good service too

Micheal Ostoforoff

Really can't say enough good things. The food is outstanding! It was recommended that I try the pad thai, one of their best sellers- it was delicious! The Veganuary Steam Buns were delicious as an appetizer but would also work well as a main. Didn't plan for room for dessert on this trip, we'll attempt to do so on the next one. And there will most definitely be a next one. The staff is friendly and helpful and really seemed to be enjoying what they do. The atmosphere in an old train station is rather interesting. Seating is somewhat Limited.

J

Awesome food. Worth the drive.

LILIANA MANCHEGO

First time trying food from this restaurant and the experience was ok. We ordered the pork wontons but instead of wontons we got dumplings... and no, they are not the same. The dumplings tasted like the ones I get from the grocery store nothing special and they were a little oily. It came with soya sauce to dip. We also ordered chicken PadThai and special Pad Thai. The flavour was good and not overwhelmed by tamarind flavour or colour like in other restaurants. The portions were very generous and most of the ingredients seemed fresh although the chicken was cut in cubes and it appeared that it was previously cooked and frozen, then added to the mix. Will try other dishes next time. I ordered by phone for take out. The person taking/handing in my order was polite and pleasant. The order was ready within 20/25 minutes as they said although it was around 2 pm and wasn’t that busy because of Covid restrictions.

Greg Papich

the food here is amazing and very original specializing in East Indian cuisine.

Dave Van Manen

Great people & good food!

Amanda Galenkamp

Great food, great atmosphere. We had a meal of appetizers because we couldn't decide on a main! The fish cakes were amazing and i don't even normally like fish cakes!

Jenn Roscoe

Went in with family for my birthday , my favourite dish of theirs wasn't on the menu at the time but the owner/staff went out of their way to make it for me! Such a great experience and delicious food; I will always recommend Smokin Buddha to anyone in town or visiting

Kelly C

Love, love, love this place!!! Can not recommend it enough! Great food, amazing staff... Amazing responsibility with Covid 19 issues.

Libbi McTavish

Fantastic food and excellent service! A definite must when in Port Colborne.

Dana K

Menu choices unlike any you will find elsewhere. Thai, Mexican, Caribbean or American choices if dishes. We started with the Bangkok Fish Cakes. Three Moist delicious cakes served with a spicy cucumber dressing. Thai Green Curry was made with coconut, green beans, possibly basil but very delicious. Just enough heat to be interesting. The Pad Thai was served with rice noodles on the bottom, chicken, tofu and nuts w/ cilantro then topped with sprouts. The heat level was a "2". Just right! Our server; Alicia was first rate. I ended up tipping too much because we used American dollars, but never mind. Our meal was excellent.

Megan Voogt

Had pad Thai at the food truck in Niagara on the lake. Extremely disappointing as the same dish at the restaurant was great in the past. Not the same...

J M

An interesting building houses the restaurant. It was a causeway for an old train station. Very cool concept. Loved the outdoor patio. The food was good and I will go back again.

Carm Campanells

Great food. Will be back forsure!

Kim

Omg this place! Can't say enough good things. Between the service and the food, wow!!!! Went Saturday afternoon with a couple of girlfriends and can't wait to come back! The Korean noodle bowl, delicious!!

Sandy St Laurent

Good atmosphere. Great food. Lots of choice on the menu. Good coffee. Great service.

Jay Crawford

SOME OF NIAGARAS BEST AFFORDABLE CUISINE. RARELY WILL YOU SEE SO MANY DIFF CUISINES UNDER ONE ROOF AND THIS PLACE DOES IT RIGHT. YELLOW CURRY IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ????????????????????

Miss Mel

Horrible! They moved my boyfriend and I 3 times! Took forever for our food to come. The three men cooking didnt have hair nets on.....we ordered soup to go before we finished eating and ot took an extra 40 mins after we ate for less then half a cup of soup, $9 for a half a cup of soup is totally not worth it. Wont be going back!

Ken T.

Awesome service and awesome food. Don't be afraid to try something new there.

Lisa McMahon

Always good food here! I am vegetarian and my favourite dish is the Shahi Paneer. Great owners and great atmosphere. Open patio on summer days. It is small inside so good idea to make reservations before you go eat.

Ami Atangan

Nothing exciting about food; flavours could be more improved; small serving size. Atmosphere way too loud. Hope to see a friendlier server next time.

Mike Paul

Always delicious, great service and atmosphere

David Williams

Wonderful food every time I go there.

Vikki Beswick

I suggest making a reservation. Last Tuesday we were glad we did, the place was hopping! The food was great, and the staff were very pleasant, and service was quick.

john grace

Friday Sept. 5th, me and Kathryn joined some friends at the restaurant. we brought our own wine. we really enjoy bringing people here because of the variety and quality of their food. this time the Satay Chicken was cooked to r-tsh-t, the pork was dry and the beef in the Korean Noodles was tough. the remainder of the meal was great, the Pork Gyoza, the Fish Cakes, Curried Shrimp and the Pad Thai. how could you do this?

Justin Daboll

Always a great time!! Good people and good food!

Sophia Eileen

Great food at reasonable prices ????

Scott Shigeishi

Great variety of dishes. Great atmosphere.

John Gordon

Great service, nice patio, always busy so reserve. Food is excellent. Not a very good picture, but you will enjoy. Casual dress!

Robert Hillier

One of my favourite bicycling destinations in Niagara. The Pad Thai is excellent. Service is friendly and attentive. Decor is delightfully engaging. It feels like a Toronto Queen Street West restaurant. Port Colborne is so blessed to have this gem!

Jo W

5+. Great service. Food was sooooo tasty, authentic, delicious and they have a great larger called Buddha Brew made in Toronto. The menu has a wide variety of Asian and Mexican treats and the dishes we saw being served at other tables looked so very appetizing . Our food (Panang and Butter Chicken) was an explosion of flavour, very fresh, hot, spicy and tasty. GO HERE!

Khaldoon Ahmad

Great place, great food, pleasant staff.

Brent Hickey

Try to get out there when I can, always delicious food!

Bernard Filice

A Wonderful little gem that would be the "It" joint in any cool 'hood across the country...bravo!

Debbie Geady

The food is delicious and always well presented. The curries are so good.

Brian D.

It's a little restaurant, but the food is amazing. We had Chana Masala, Buddha Noodles and Pad Thai. All three dish were great, but the favorites coming from the Pad Thai was amazing. Spicy and sweet at the same time, but not to sweet. Book a reservation, because a lot of people got turned away.

Garril Lampman

The food and the staff are fantastic. I highly recommend you try it

Victoria McFadden

The food here was amazing! What a fantastic food fusion for something different. Cute patio with garage door style opened side of restaurant Only downfall was service was slow.

Jess Jones

Love this place! The kimchi tofu pockets are bomb I enjoyed the butter chicken, vindaloo and jerk chicken bowl It’s fairly busy every time and space is limited. So make sure you have reservations

Jackie Wright

Went to Smoking Buddha for the first time today for lunch. It was awesome. The crab Rangoon was out of this world! My Korean fried chicken was delicious. However the menu said chicken leg and I got a chicken cutlet. Our server, Corinne who was amazing offered to take it back but it was tasty. She also offered a complimentary dessert but I certainly did not need it. So even with the mishap between the delicious food and excellent service we will be back.

erik torie

this food truck has a gratuity page on there POS machine. You have to pay & tip before they make the food. If you don’t want to tip, you have to scroll down to ‘no tip’ and enter. It is an uncomfortable way to start your food purchase. frankly you should not tip as there is no tableservice and you r ordering at a counter of a truck.

Patti Lee

Ordering and pick-up went smoothly, friendly and the food of course was excellent. Curb side pic up great way to still access the Buddha. Thanks

Karen Arthur

Fresh ingredients with tasty twists. Kevin never fails to create a great food experience.

Miranda Donmoyer

My first and only visit was very disappointing. The Butter Chicken tasted like it was just tomato soup on a few pieces of chicken. I love Indian food and was told this place was good. It wasn't particularly busy but staff seemed uninterested in checking on tables. I hope it turns around because I've heard that when the owner is in the kitchen it's fantastic.

Chuck Sauer

We were watching an older 'You Gotta Eat Here' earlier this week and will they featured the Smoking Budha. It looked good so we decided to try it out! We were not disappointed. We made reservations and we're seated at the time we requested. Our server Kelsey asked if it was our first time there ....and explained the menu and answered all our questions. We had some appetizers, my wife Butter Chicken and I had Chicken Pad Thai. Spectacular flavour! We will be back!

Martin Van Der Leek

Good Food and good service when i was there with my wife on our vacation to Canada. Goed eten en een goede service!

Kevin Brewer (Kmanbrew)

Great food and atmosphere, prices are great for the quality of food. Staff are friendly. We always visit when in area

Jada Nicklefork

Always great food, good portion for a reasonable price. The flavour is outstanding. A must try if you are in Port Colborne and worth the drive from anywhere in the Niagara region.

Arina Petruseva

Food is sooo delicious, I was full and couldn’t stop. Prices are very reasonable. Great place!

J. D. A.

Gluten Free options! You guys are too amazing. The yellow curry is my favourite along, along with the spicy soup ... All with shrimp. The Buddah beer is awesome. You guys always do an amazing job. Service is a bit slow sometimes, sometimes need an extra worker maybe? Usually busy, but lots of places to sit. Call ahead during meal times.

Karyn McConaghie

Amazing fusion food! Panang Curry was flavourful and aromatic. Pad Thai was good...lacked visual appeal but great taste.

Bob Woehl

Went there for the second time in two months. First time experience was almost acceptable. Food was good but service and food delivery was slow. Didn't think we would go back but tonight thought we would give it a second chance. Place was busy but had a table after a short wait. Bit of a wait before we got menus and ordered our drinks. Longer wait before placing meal order. After a 25 / 30 minute wait asked our waitress if she could check on our order and was advised it was coming up. Another 10 minutes asked for drink bill and advised we were leaving especially after tables that had arrived after us had already been served. Was advised they were plating our order but I just left money to cover drinks and left. Won't be back.

Emily Lovell

Ordered about six dishes to share with my kids and didn't enjoy any of them. They were quite bland. Obviously people love this place, it was absolutely packed so it's probably just me.

Anita Hayhoe

Delicious! We ate here 5 years ago and never forgot it. When we were in the Port Colborne area again we went back for lunch. Just as good as I remembered. I wish there was a restaurant like this near where we live.

Alain Goulet

This is a special eating spot in Port Colborne! Great food, great service and nice atmosphere. Wish it would have been a nice day to sit on the patio but it was raining out. Highly recommend the smosas as an appetizer.

Rick Mercier

They have a unique menu for anyone looking to explore as well as some items to satisfy those who don't

brian echlin

Food is excellent. ????

Scott Cooney

It was our first time there, it will not be our last . Nice staff good food fair prices.

Greg Rock

Always the talk of out of towners when I say I live in Port Colborne... "Oh, I love that Smokin Buddha restaurant in Port Colborne!"... Yup! We do too... Please bring back the cashew chicken!

Taysia Dupuis

We called ahead for a reservation and they said they only had a spot open right away. We drive down there right away to see the restaurant is basically empty. Five staff members standing around doing nothing and no one came over to help us. After a couple minutes we just ended up walking out. We have tried their food before at markets and just wanted a nice night out. We ended up heading over to another restaurant and got served right away. This was definitely a disappointing experience.

Denise Therrien

Great food! Lots of different stuff to try.

Rhone Hinojosa

This place is a must if you are in the area, it serves AMAZING food. We started with the coconut soup and salad. It is so flavorful that my boyfriend actually ate salad, which he never does. He ordered the tenderloin, which was cooked perfectly. I had the green curry and it did not disappoint, just a perfect balance of spice.

Landon H. Groh

Small loud make reservations would be my advise

Jason Watts

Great food! Best to make a reservation the place fills up quick!

Craig Hinman

I had to ask for my bill to be adjusted 3 times. The food is good but I think it's a but expensive.

john kaminsaks

Great food everytime we order....thanks
