About Golden Buddha Restaurant

Golden Buddha Restaurant is a chinese restaurant in Gainesville, Florida. It is listed at 613 NW 16th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601, which places it among the local businesses of Gainesville that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–9 pm. It is closed on Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Golden Buddha Restaurant at (352) 380-9076; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 309 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Gainesville and suggests consistent service.

好好吃！ Really good food! For years, we've driven past this restaurant and thought it was closed. I'm so glad we stopped in to check. I had a craving for kung pao chicken, and my lunch had the perfect mix of peanuts, spice, veg, and chicken. I think next time I'll get white rice since the main dish had enough flavor. (Could you maybe re-open the dining area? We drive 30 minutes into Gville and then need to find somewhere to eat. It would be great to stay a minute at a table.) 阿彌陀佛

Everything was amazing. The hospitality and explanation of dishes was also very helpful. The food came out quickly and was hand delivered. The portions were so generous. 2 dishes was enough for at least 3 servings. The flavor was amazing. We got the general tso chicken and the house egg pancake dish. The entrance of the building (away) from the road was painted with gators colors. There was no seating when we went, so be prepared for takeout. Overall an amazing dinner:)

Great food. Regardless of what the pics look like, eating in really isn’t an option. Waited about five minutes for someone to come from the back to take our order, so it is definitely a call-in/pick-up type of place. Once they knew we were there, the service was great and they even brought our order out to the car. Parking is also weird. You have to park behind the restaurant and walk in from the back side.

We tried Golden Buddha after reading mixed reviews and were pleasantly surprised. The owners greeted us warmly, our order was ready in about 15 minutes, and everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The interior is dated, but that’s not the point. It’s a long-running family spot that focuses on good food. Some reviews mentioned cold food, but ours was steaming hot, likely just a delivery issue. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely order again!

I had been craving some General Tzo's chicken for a hot minute, and its probably been 20 years since I ate food from here. The flavor of the main fish was everything I had hoped for, I did not particularly care for the fried rice. It seemed just like white rice wirh soy sauce. Was better mixed with the dish. I haven't eaten much Chinese take out in general, and the food sat heavy with me the night I ate it and the next morning.
