Buddha Lounge — Restaurant in Lexington

Rude staff. Went here to pick up a DoorDash that was supposed to be ready. Was told it would be about 5-10 minutes, so I waited in my car (where parking is horrible and you will get towed quick) went back in and waited about 10 minutes with not one staff member even acknowledging me. Finally I went up to the bar and asked if they knew how much longer it would be. When I asked this eye contact wasn’t even made between the staff and me. Then the man said “I don’t know maybe 5-10 more minutes, we’re busy. It’s an 80$ check so id say it’s worth it” beside the point of how much the tip was, it’s ridiculous I had to wait that long on an order. And actually the customer tipped horribly. So I waited 30 minutes to make 6$ and risk my car getting towed and felt like I got treated like I was to poor to be in the restaurant. Tell your servers and other employees their time isn’t the only time that’s valuable, & a simple “I’ll be right back with you” would be helpful. I really feel like the staff felt like I was not upper class enough to be in the restaurant or...

Excellent sushi. That's all I ever get from there. They have a very impressive bar area with an extensive drink list as well.

Update 06/03/2024:

I ordered carry-out and was having a great time talking to the elderly owner lady who is always there. Some younger girl (maybe her daughter) pushed her away and took over the conversation and began acting very rudely toward me. I tipped $1 on a single carry-out roll and this must have upset her. She was very bothered by the fact that I requested the house Wasabi rather than the commercial to-go packet. She held the house Wasabi in my face and then slammed it in my bag in a harsh way. This took me by surprise because I am a regular customer there and I have been treated great by the staff here in the past. This experience however will reverse every positive feedback post I have made and I will now encourage people to avoid...

I was quite impressed with the atmosphere of the restaurant. This was my first time going and I was also impressed with the variety of different oriental items on the menu like sushi, Korean tacos, karrage, gyoza, etc. I went here for lunch and got the bento box with the 4 piece California roll, gyoza, and Korean street taco with rice, salad and miso soup and was absolutely blown away that everything tasted fresh and that it was only $13. The Korean taco was amazing, I am not a big fan of sushi but the California roll I got was really good and the gyoza was really good. Also would recommend the Thai tea. Because of the amazing food, atmosphere, and this oriental restaurant is the most worth it at its price in Lexington, I am definitely coming back again and again and for those of you all that haven't been here for lunch yet, you are missing out on so...
