Buddha Bruddah Kirkland

The mac salad is my favorite! Best Hawaiian food in Washington. Their Hawaiian beef is my go to, and the combo with the Huli huli chicken is a phenomenal deal. Don’t forget to get their sauces! Their sambal is amazing and the teriyaki is delicious as well.

I have been craving a delicious rice and meat dish. I stopped by for a to go order on my lunch time .

Upon entering there is a little Asian mini mart in there with rice noodles, sauces and a few staple Asian items.

They had a display cold case of their pies. The coconut cream pie looked yummy so I bought one. My order was ready within 15 minutes.
I ordered the half Huli huli chicken and beef with an extra scoop of rice . Mac salad and a coleslaw was also included. They also have an assortment of small sauces to go, ranching from one star and up. I picked the crying tiger sauce, teriyaki and chili oil .

This is a hefty mixed plate, enough for two or to have as leftovers for me.
The beef is my favorite, seasoned and sauced well. I added the sauces to the huli huli chicken and it was superb, the chicken was moist and tender. I love Hawaiian Mac salad, it’s the better type of Mac salads. I really enjoyed their Mac salad and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was a nice palette cleanser amongst the heavy but comforting meal.

The coconut cream pie was good. I was expecting it to be a a little more sweeter, but the coconut flavor is just right. Not too overpowering .

I will be back to try more.

This place does everything well. From the spam masubi to ribs and of course huli huli chicken , The noodle and fried rice dishes are great and I'm a huge fan of their coleslaw. The macaroni salad is the only macaroni salad my teenager will eat. Anyway, these guys are great and fast and tasty.

This is a walk up counter - no seating. Not sure if it was an off day, but sadly wasn’t as yummy as I was hoping.

- Banana cream pie: hard, tasteless crust with super gelatinous banana filling. Tastes very artificial and not super appetizing.
- Chicken and pork combo: chicken had good flavor but was dry. Pork was also dry and on the fatty side.

May return to give it another shot.

Buddha Brudda has been my initial and favorite Hawaiian food experience. I'm in love with the macaroni salad, I always want extra. The servings are large and worth coming back to later for another meal. The food tastes so good. I'll be getting it again soon for sure.

Been to the one in Kenmore many times, everything has been delicious. The one here in Kirkland is *take-out only*, so be sure to plan accordingly. The Kirkland menu is also slightly larger, with a few Thai dishes in addition to the mainstay Hawaiian fare. Also delicious! Oh, and the _smells_ of it all while they’re cooking up your order — divine.

The only criticism I can think of is the prices — but they’re actually in line with just about all Seattle-area restaurants anymore. Two mains plus two Thai iced teas plus tax and tip came to about ~$70. Mind you, the portions are *huge*, so at least you’re getting two meals out of it.

Updated 2024, sadly the food quality here has dropped and so has the service. I usually order the chicken at this location, the food is always ready in under 5 minutes which I appreciate but last couple times it has been almost cold, also the mac is pretty bland and bad. the food safety rating for this place has dropped. I think I'll have to take a break from this place till they improve back to the original quality when they first opened.

Great food and very friendly people at the counter too.

Spice level tends to be on the higher end - medium is quite spicy
