What People Are Saying About Little Buddha Cafe

In Short – Turquoise columns flank an octopus-like chandelier that showers the circular room in crimson light. Beautiful singles sit on red-velvet stools at the bar or high-backed booths. At the center, a large Buddha presides over a sunken dining area. Starters include the Palms' Roll: Spicy tuna, salmon, and avocado wrapped in cucumber instead of seaweed, creating a crisp and creamy texture. For entrees, there's lettuce-wrapped beef in a sweet soy-sauce marinade or silky, sesame-crusted ahi tuna.

It's Vegas For YOU!
by xoxosaovanyxoxo
Little Buddha is a nice and fancy restaurant inside the Palms. I love the decorations and the lighting. The food is way too pricey but hey it's Vegas right. I had a Lychee Martini and it tasted like thera-flu. Their Palms fried rice or combination fried rice was tasteful. Their Palm's roll was good but not worth $20. The chicken lettuce wrap was good, but if you add the sauce it's a little too salty. The service was great in the beginning. After we order the waiter didn't go back to check on us. The manager was very nice and friendly though.

One of my worst meals ever
by NickRWin
To be blunt, this was one of the worst meals I have paid for in a long time. The Pad Thai was like fettucine with a sour tasting cream sauce with some token peanuts ground on top (to the restaurant's credit, they took this off the bill when I sent it back). The sashimi was reasonably fresh, but large pieces are not impressive. I ordered a bowl of rice (normally included in most Japanese restaurants)--it was not sticky, but dry (like Uncle Ben's). To cap things, the hostess made us wait five minutes for a table when the restaurant was almost completely empty (a mid-week evening in December).
- Pros: Decor, maybe
- Cons: Expensive, bad food

A tasty retreat
by westie2
We entered the reception area of this Paris (the country not the casino) import via two massive doors with Chinese lanterns lighting the way. Chef Gerard Canales, formerly head chef at the highly acclaimed Japenego restaurant at the Hyatt Lake Las Vegas Resort, has introduced many new and innovative dishes while retaining longtime favorites. The dining area itself is dominated by an enormous Buddha and classical and Asian music plays softly in the background. We shared an appetizer of lobster cakes, cumin aioli and Thai mango chutney. For entrees we each chose the Korean barbecue salmon over potato cake topped with a green papaya salad. The meal was superb though our server was personality challenged.
- Pros: Beautiful room, high quality food
- Cons: Server was a grouch
