Buddhas Favorite is the best resturant in Newport Beach hands down. The owner, Nicole is incredibly helpful! She helped us organize a party for my mom's birthday - eveything was done to perfection. I highly recommend.

Buddha's Favorite is a kid-friendly restaurant that offers a great dining experience with a casual and simple atmosphere. Located on the docks of Newport Beach, the waterfront marina views, especially at sunset, add to the charm. The restaurant features outdoor seating with heaters, making it a cozy spot even when it's a bit chilly. The food is good, with popular dishes like Toro, yellowtail, eel, udon, and mocci dessert, and the sushi is often praised as excellent and surprisingly affordable. The Buddha roll is a standout and uniquely delicious. The service is friendly and helpful, though it can be a little slow during busy times, which is understandable with larger groups. Parking is easy, with valet service available. Overall, Buddha's Favorite is a recommended spot for sushi lovers seeking a pleasant, waterfront dining experience.
