The ambience the atmospher is very nice. The food I was say is good, not wow. Would I go again yes I would. Only advice I would say is that you do feel a little rushed.

Exquisite food and lovely atmosphere. A perfect place to celebrate our anniversary while traveling from California to London. I've always enjoyed going to the Paris venue and although each is unique - the food, the music and the vibe always great.

Many mistakes in the check. The food was very expensive bit not so good. Furthermore they charged me a bottle of water and a glass of champagne that I didn't drink. Very bad experience

Food was great. However the reception was a bit questionable. We wanted to take a cocktail at the bar before dinner but we're not able to do that in a quite empty bar and restaurant area. There was an offer about Happy hour 50 % of for cocktails but it was impossible to utilize this offer. The reason was said to be a booked premesis. We asked if we could get the discount at the dinner table but it was ignored !

Food was excellent, one of the staff was great , others walked around aimlessly. They also liked to kill the drink with a lot of ice .

It is a pity that all the pics that i saw online where from the past Buddha Bar which was a lot cooler. I had really high expectation as Buddha Bar is a world known brand. I will not definitely come back ever again. The food was good but not delicious, the service was good but not great and at the end I felt really bad for my boyfriend that had to pay the check, I felt betrayed by such a famous and prestigious brand as "Buddha Bar".

I like Buddha Bar and I go there everytime I go to London. Unfortunately this time the quality of sushi wasn't so high and even the service. Maybe the Halloween night has impacted on that. I will come back the next London visit.

Ok, but very loud music. Feels like the bar staff is paid to talk to you. Lovely food but no personal service so it feels like you are in a fast food place. Honestly would not recommend it apart from great drinks and beautiful interior. Not worth the price.

we went to the restaurant for my friend's birthday, the staff was not professional compared to the reputation of the restaurant. the security was about to hit and told us " just lo let you know if you want to order alcohol i need to see your ID" their is nothing wrong with that but the way he said it is just unprofessional. I work in Customer service as well and I know the ethics of it, so for such restaurant, customer service should be better

Forced downstairs due to private function upstairs. Ordered our food and the starter appeared immediately! It had clearly been cooked previously. Asked for gap for main course and they were very accommodating. Overpriced for what was produced.

Great ambiance but too loud music for dinners to speak. The music should get a progressive volume, so at 20.30 you dont have to shout to someone seated next to you. Nice food and friendly staff!

The food and the staff were excellent. The restaurant/bar decor, ambience is excellent!. The main disappointment for us was that we felt/were very rushed for the meal.

Warm welcome and were seated quickly .... Food was good, but portions are very small .... Good service .... A tad expensive .... Good for special occasion rather than frequent dining.

Food is amazing but service felt rushed and not focused. As an example one of the waiters gave us menues and took the order for cocktails and then another waiter removed the wine list before us having ordered food

Food was mediocre, drinks did not come when ordered. Hoisin was forgotten, wrong tea was also served. Seating area was right at the back corner, and we were asked to book early at 6:30 coz it was full but in actual fact there was plenty of space

The food was superb but the quality of the waiting staff was very poor. We clearly overheard one of the waiting staff being extremely rude to another member of staff about a customer. The staff clearly felt they were superior to the customers and we as customers were in their way - I certainly will not be returning

Service was good - waiters and waitresses were very friendly and attentive - but food was very disappointing - oriental food was very basic and steamed buns were tasteless - sweet variety better but not good or worth the price paid!

Experience was very pleasurable, from minute you step in you are welcomed and looked after delightfully. Im a very big cocktail fan, and they blew me away! The food was amazing, starter through to desert! The atmosphere was great, live DJ set, very sociable. Classy but chilled at the same time! Will definitely be back there very soon!

Arabic Themed Night was great fun with a fun crowd enjoying the live music. Bar men know how to make their cocktails! And I love that Black Cod. Highly recommended!

I booked this place on-line very easily. It is in a great location in Knightsbridge. Greeted very warmly at the entrance, my coat was taken and we were kindly led to our seats. The maki was one of the best I had not to mention the cocktails!

Actually my family and I had a great time at Buddha bar London. The food was excellent so was the music and all waiters were kind and effective. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the person responsible for our table suggested that we sat at one of the "private" tables which really are hidden from the rest of the restaurant let alone that they are a level lower than the main area. Really you should not book that kind of tables unless someone asks for that particular area of the restaurant. Luckily we sat at another table since the people eating there left during our dispute with the lady in charge. Overall it was a very pleasant night!!

The place is great, the vibe is awesome and the staff are super friendly. However the food isn't all that and everything is over priced. I don't mind paying £20 for one drink, but I expect the drink to be out of this world - very disappointed. I guess it's a one time kinda place to try. I'm not going to be in a hurry to go back.

Excellent food, especially the black cod. The deserts are to die for! Sitting downstairs was a good choice, I prefer the ambience. I will be back for their Sunday tea!
