What Isabel Harrison likes about Laughing Buddha:
we have loved to come here for many years, often travel miles for what I think is the best Chinese food I have ever tasted. the place is very inconvenient, and this is the charm that only has been added to the experience, since it is the food that takes the stage. All that we have eaten is freshly cooked, the service is good, and I can honestly say that it is always worth traveling to eat here, we were here as couple... View all feedback. What Harry Griffiths doesn't like about Laughing Buddha:
The purpose of this review is to highlight the dreadful service.the food, as always was fantastic. We eat here occasionally, more often would get a take away. Last night we popped in about 8pm. There were 3 young local Hawick girls who were not interested...in doing their jobs. The stood around the counter chatting and on their phones. Had to ask for drinks. On one occasion the bell from the kitchen rang 3 times befo... View all feedback.

I visited this restaurant last evening and it was just okay. The fried rice was not very exciting, and the curry sauce was a bit overwhelming. I would consider...

Freeway lemonade thats less than £1 a bottle being sold for £1.40 a glass, flat and nasty.

The Laughing Buddha offers high-quality food with attentive service, but the decor is outdated and the carpet dirty. While some found the atmosphere strange and off-putting, others appreciated the unassuming charm and excellent food. Customers have praised the friendly staff and efficient service, as well as unique dishes like tomato rice. Despite mixed reviews on the ambiance, many agree that the food at Laughing Buddha is worth a visit, especially for those looking for a late-night meal in Hawick, Scotland.
