All I wanted was plain fried riceinstead of pork fried rice or white rice.But I was refused and rudely told?️ "NO, CAN'T DO IT",said the RUDE LADY ?‍♀️ at the front register.So I asked, "why not, other restaurantsdo it at there customers request"...??But to no avail, it didn't happen. ?Everyone doesn't eat pork ? fried riceIt would have been greatto have that OPTION on the menu.So I say to the Pink Buddha,⛩️? WAKE-UP AND GET WITH THE NEW AGE...WHERE CUSTOMERS AREAPPRECIATED AND ACCOMMODATED‼️?And maybe this review will change ?

Miss the old place better. Staff is super nice here, but opening was confusing at first on Togo lines and sit in. I honestly prefer having a waiter or waitress taking me order like the old restaurant (stop using COVID as an excuse)Don't thing having someone take my order will give me COVID, plus on top they get better tips that way instead of a measley tip jar.The food is decent but they are super stingy, the old place gave better portions and we're not so stingy. For example the pictures attached. House special fried rice came in a very very small container barley enough for a kid and it cost over $18, on top I got Korean short ribs and was charged nearly $20 for literally one price of short ribs (3 small peaces) . It honestly felt like a kids mean and I thought it was a joke.The old place had a better food menu and were not so stingy and actually tasted better as the pink Buddha's food is a little bland to be honest.compared to all the other casino asian restaurants this one has to be the most stingy.The only reason they got a 2 star is because the friendly staff other than that this is the worst of all casino asian restaurants to go to, as they are overpriced and give small portions (literally a kids meal portion).I hope they fix this issue if not, bring back the old restaurant, because this place is definitely not cutting the standards of a do called "Asian restaurant".

It has been a long time since I have had food this amazing. The service and the food was exceptional. The honey chicken and the sweet and sour chicken were fresh and hot. Most places make it from frozen and here it tasted fresh and just the perfect mix of crispy and moist. We tried the happy family and it’s by far the best happy family We have had. Truly a hidden gem and now our favorite family place. Wish I would have known about it sooner.

Service slow and inattentive. Food bland! Dipping sauce for dim sum even worse.

First time ordering from here. Great food, fast service, generous portions, we will order again. I recommend it highly

My favorite Chinese restaurant. Everything is delicious and customer service is great!

One star is one star too much! The food is AWFUL! What a disappointment! Went for a dim sum lunch. Should have known better and turned around to leave when there was only 1 other table taken in the restaurant. I have NEVER had such bad dim sum - ever! Knew it was a huge mistake when my husband"s ( who ordered a lunch special) wonton soup came and the wantons were so thick, a knife could have cut them. His lunch was almost inedible with a thick, clumpy sauce. Terrible. I ordered 3 different dim sum. The pan fried dumplings again had this horribly thick wrapper - not a delicate see through one. They were all wrapper and encased a tasteless mound of ground pork. The shrimp dumplings and the shu Mei also - were wrapped in a casing that was beyond too thick. I ended up eating only the insides. The entire meal was horrible and so disappointing. No wonder there was no one inside. Do your self a favor and avoid. We most definitely won't be returning!!!!!

Was my first time checking this place. The old lady at the front was extremely rude. I ordered Singapore Rice Noodle and when I placed my order over the phone she did not ask me for my protein choices. When I went to pick up my order she told me it has pork and chicken with shrimp in it. I told her she should have mentioned to me over the phone and the menu does not mention anything about pork, chicken or shrimp. Instead she gave me nasty attitude. Definitely will not be returning to place ever again.

Great service dim sum menu great and reasonable

I'm from NYC and near San Francisco 35 back. I found the food here to be what Americans are accustomed to. I had shrimp and Chicken Kung Pow. Also chicken corn soup which is a soup that I find to be soothing.I have been studying Mandarin for 15 years and the waitresses were happy to converse with me. When they switched to English they did not have much of an accent which surprised me.
