Canton Buddha

I just love this little place. It my go-​to Chinese place in my neighborhood. Food is always good and getting in and out is simple.

We order the Pad Thai and Moo Shu Chicken every few weeks. It is always perfect.

Worst service ever. They messed up my order and when I called them to find out, they didn’t take any responsibility for the error. I would never eat here again.

This place is the closest to our place and for Chinese food, it’s your average greasy joint. The flavors are just OK and its super greasy but it does the job if you’re looking to get the whole eat out of cartons with chopsticks feel while watching reruns of Gilmore Girls ;). We order the sesame chicken, general tso’s chicken, Mongolian beef, and cream cheese wantons. Sesame chicken was the best by far.

Canton Buddha in Buckhead failed a second consecutive routine inspection recently, and Fulton County health officials said the facility would be cited with a court-​ordered follow-​up inspection.
Multiple kitchen employees were observed washing their hands without soap, as required. And there was no soap at the employee hand-​sink, a small trash can was being used as a prep table, which is unsanitary, frozen foods were being thawed at room temperature, Foods were being stored in open cans. Food containers in the freezer were not labeled. Some food containers were being stored on the floor. (YUCK!)

This is really good Chinese food. If you like New York Chinese food you will love this place. I ordered the beef and broccoli dinner. It was a hug potion, nicely played and great flavor. My friend had the pepper steak dinner and enjoyed it but stated the peppers were cut too big and hadn’t cooked enough.
My next trip to atl I will be returning.

I order from them ALL THE TIME. Their food is always good and the delivery is fast. I’ve recommended them to many of my friends and we’ve all been pleased. My go-​to here is the Mongolian Chicken.

I’m not necessarily the biggest fan of Chinese food unless it’s authentic, but my boyfriend and I were starving and were misled by hours on Unilocal assuming restaurants were still serving food when they were only serving drinks at the bar. Luckily, this little gem popped up on Unilocal and was open until midnight. We sped on over and gulped down all that we could. We surprisingly had leftovers. It’s a reliable place to grab some good food during late-​night hours that is reasonably-​priced.

I LOVE Canton Buddha but do not order through Eat Street (the ordering system when you go through Unilocal). Order directly from Canton Buddha/​Postmates/​Favor/​ANYONE else.
Pad Thai & Lo Mein are awesome at Canton Buddha. They get a 4. Eat Street gets a 0.

Food is alright. Service is slow.
I’ve had dining and delivery from them, the food was pretty good, but, the service took forever. I live literally around the corner from them, and it took them over an hour to deliver me two meals.

Nothing to write home about. But saw 100 on the health inspection!
Simple food. Fast and quick. All you expect from a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. Lunch deals include soup, egg roll, friend chicken wing and entrée.

Assuredly one of the best spots to go to late at night after partying it up in Buckhead. This place is the late night antidote for your hangover, helping you mellow out with their exquisite dishes.
Personally, I like to indulge in their Spicy Hunan Chicken with Fried Rice. Not only is it appetizing, but it also aids the elimination of toxins from your body from a wild night. Spicy food is always the way to go, and Canton Buddha is at your assistance conveniently.

Open late at night AND decent Chinese food? Sign me up!
I went out around 11pm on a weekday night, not expecting much. Easy enough to find in the shopping center by Publix. Plenty of parking space available. There’s a nice little outdoors seating area (probably best for lunch and dinners before 10pm). Seating inside is nicer than I was expecting, some booths, some tables. Pretty clean all around.
Food itself: I asked the server for «something a little different.» He suggested pan noodles, so that’s what I got: Pan Noodles with Beef. It was the right mix of something expected with something surprising. The flavor of the beef and veggies was along the lines of what you’d expect from most American-​Chinese establishments. Beef wasn’t chewy, veggies were crisp and not limp. Not overly salted. The twist here was the noodles. It was under everything else, so depending on which part, you got a different texture. The noodles (thin, and pan fried) were crunchy if they weren’t touched by the sauce– think the little brick of ramen before you cook it. But the noodles that had soaked up the sauce were more tender. Overall flavor really hit the spot for my Chinese food craving. I would definitely recommend it. It was only $ 12, and serving was large enough for me to eat twice.
If you want something more common, they do have several «dinner combos» (lunch ones too for cheaper and smaller portions). It’ll include an egg roll and choice of soup, with steamed or fried rice. Again, pretty generous serving portions.
Service was prompt, which was surprising because it was just one guy doing everything in the wee hours of the night. He was considerate of our drink levels, checked on us a few times, so no complaints here. He told me they get a steady trickle of people through the night.
4 star food and experience, and I wish I could give it an extra half star for the hours. With the exception of Sunday and Monday, they’re open until 6:00am! I think their delivery hours run pretty late as well, but I would call to check on that.

Canton Buddha conforms to the model of many Chinese restaurants, extensive hours with an even more extensive menu. Most days they stay open until 6am. I’ve always wondered who’s eating at three or four in the morning. And with over 200 options, it’s a menu on steroids. There’s an extensive vegetarian section which is straightforward, but then there’s another vegetarian section divided into areas called vegetarian beef, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian shrimp and vegetarian pork. Vegetarian pork? I’m confused.
You can stop in pretty much any Chinese restaurant and know you’ll get an okay meal. At Canton Buddha the food arrived fresh and hot and the plate looked pretty as a picture. But, I didn’t find much finesse to the sweet and sour chicken I ordered. It was fairly pedestrian. But Canton Buddha does some things that are more than just okay. I loved the flavor of the hot and sour soup, a little more peppery than I’m used to. And the egg rolls were large (think mini burrito) and tasty.
I’m curious to find out if all their dishes are average or if they shine in other areas. If I was in the area and hankering for Chinese, I’d definitely stop in again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get there.

This place was close by so ordered a Kung Pao chicken. Found a metal ribbon while eating and the chicken does not taste or even look like chicken. Sorry guys you were terrible.

They deliver! Late! Lovely to find out.
On a just-​too-​much-​to-​handle night of indecision, geographical constraints, tears and…whatever else — CB worked (most of) it all out.
For an Americanized Chinese dish I like, Mongolian Beef, theirs is one of the better I’ve had in/​around Buckhead and Brookhaven. Definitely not over salted and a generous portion. Pretty standard steamed chick and vegs, though last couple of times I ordered and asked for «all green» vegs I still got…carrots and watercress. Ick. But minor detail since enough green (for one dish) stuff was there. Good steamed potstickers (decent size and 6 or 8 to an order).
When in their delivery area, a solid spot to call.

We ordered takeout from Canton Buddha. It was about what I’d expect for your average Amercanized Chinese food takeout, not as nice as if I’d just purchased everything as frozen entrees from Trader Joe’s.
It was easy to order, and the food was ready within 15 minutes. The beef with broccoli was really watery and not terribly flavorful. The General Tso’s chicken was only slightly spicy and not overly breaded. My favorite dish was the steamed dumplings, again, about as good as if I’d just heated the ones from Trader Joe’s.
It’s a decent option if you want delivery or takeout and don’t have high expectations.

I’ve looked here, I’ve looked there. I feel like I’ve looked everywhere, but I think I’ve finally found some of the Best American-​Chinese cuisine in Atlanta!
I was driving aimlessly around Buckhead on a Wednesday night. Hungry and having a hankering for Chinese, then! Suddenly! Found Canton Buddha! Tucked into a shopping center with Barnes n Noble, Publix and Party City, there she was! Quite a beaut!
My little family basically decided it was going to order about ½ the menu. To sum it up, the egg rolls are fried deliciousness! They are BIG and flavorful! My favorite!
Also, the General Tso’s and fried rice are perfect! I ordered the dinner combo. For less than $ 11, it came with a big, fat egg roll, choice of soup (I ordered Wonton), fried or steamed rice and General Tso’s Chicken. YUM!
We ordered WAY more food, but basically, it was all incredible!
Only qualm, wishing and praying to the Gods that one day they will open a second location closer to the Westside or Midtown so that they can deliver some goodness to our home one day. Please oh Please Flavor Gods!
Enjoy :)

Canton Buddha is very solid Chinese food. That’s a huge complement coming from someone who doesn’t love Chinese. The mood struck, they were still open, and I could order online.
30 minutes later and my spicy General Tso’s chicken and crab ragoons were delivered to my front door. So much food! It was all steaming hot and really good standard Chinese food. The General Tso’s dinner entrée is easily enough to feed three people.
Really I can’t thing of anything bad to say about my prompt delivery and good food. It’s not mind blowing, but it certainly won’t disappoint.
My only complaint is that I’m an idiot and threw away my fortune cookie before reading it. In bed.

Great place for Chinese in Buckhead. I’m no Chinese food expert BUT I do know that this place is tasty. I also know that you can request delivery at extremely odd hours of the night, no questions asked. Comforting.
I always get the steamed vegetables with chicken and cover it in sriracha. Their eggrolls are great too.
Friendly service, no sketchiness, I am a fan.
