Fat Buddha Chinese Restaurant - Sydney

I had already read bad reviews earlier, so it had very little expectations. Food was not worth the price. Fried rice was ok, the rest was sub. I thought the steamed rice was the best part of the meal. "Service" was due to gestures with almost quiet waiters, which puffed our dishes in a hurry onto the table. Honestly, it was not as Abyssmal as I expected, but we did not use vouchers, so we may have received different treatment.

You get what you pay for! Remember that phrase? I couldn't think of a better way to describe our yum cha at Fat Buddha. Our friend purchased a voucher for a group of four - for less than $20 each we got 9 courses of yum cha. Sounded like a bargain right? It was easily the worst yum cha I had. We had all the usual suspects- prawn dumplings, scallops spinach dumplings, BBQ pork buns, mango pancakes, etc nothing adventurous everything standard. Yet they all tasted awful or average at best. The dumpling skin was thick, chewy and sticky, the fillings were tasteless, the mango pancake wraps were thick and way too much cream. I was flabbergasted how they could get it so wrong! I certainly won't repeat the same mistake twice and do not recommend it to anyone. thernbdiary.com

Stay away. The worst and I mean the worst experience in my life. We booked a birthday party and ended after 10 minutes. Rude owner and a liar. At his 2 employees fought to serve people. We have 1 meal and it was cold and tasted bad. Bundle repeats a drink even water and got nothing. I tried to talk to the man who was the owner, and he told me that the owner was in the office. He went in and out of the office and said the owner is too busy to get out. I went and had a look into the office and nobody was there. Stay away from this place.

If I could give a 0 Rating  I would, we bought a Groupon here which was the worst yum cha experience of my life. To start there was only 3 other tables of people so not busy at all, yet they still sat us at a table with a dirty table cloth. After we had been given 7 of our 10 plates, I then had to ASK for napkins, chopsticks and sauces to be able to eat the food. I asked for green tea, suddenly we were given a bill with an extra $9 added to it for tea. Which I promptly cancelled the order for tea because that's absurd for one cup of tea! After we had finished our 5 plates we then waited and waited and waited. Finally we asked about the rest of the food. Manager came out and made marks on bill next to food that hadn't come out, and then we again waited and waited. No food. Finally we got up to leave having enough of waiting. When we asked for the manager to explain how unhappy we were she was almost yelling at us saying our food was being cooked....after 2 hours of waiting pretty sure if we hadn't got the food we were never getting the food. One of the missing plates was the rice for gods sake, what were we supposed to eat it with when all other dished that go with rice had already been finished. The waitress looked exhausted and angry the customer service was HORRIBLE, trolleys were all backed up near our table so much so that as the manager came out with food she ran straight into them and nearly lost her tray. So unorganised and unprofessional. All I can say is DO NOT GO HERE EVER!
