What a difference a year makes. I had stopped going to the Buddha because although the food has always been great, the service tended to be slow and I have limited time at lunch. I went back a couple of weeks ago originally for just a couple drinks after work. The place was at capacity and service was defiantly prompt. Some people at our table ordered food as well and to my surprise it came in a more than reasonable 15 min. I have since been back for 2 repeat performances and will be back a lot now that they got the speed issues ironed out.
The limited space in the Laughing Buddha was awkward at first but began to grow on me after a little while. It is perfect for small crowds and comfortable. When I first started going it was a nice place where the artists of Sudbury could gather and have a few drinks and chat all night. However the publicity has brought in various new crowds which is good for the business but not so good for those who liked a nice quiet place to escape to. These days it takes a little too long to get our drinks and food. We had to stop our waitress in her tracks to ask her if we could order after we had been there for over an hour. then it took another hour to get it. I can understand this with it being a popular place now but it's just not the same as it used to be. I don't feel as comfortable there as i did before. It is however still one of my favorite places to go.
The comments below are true in that each and every time I go to the Laughing Buddha the service is very slow. While I don't doubt they are doing their best, two things need to be addressed: the number of staff waiting on people and the kitchen staff/kitchen itself. It shouldn't take 1.5 hours to make a sandwich, even if it is busy.
The food is amazing.. I'm impatient though, so if I'm hungry I'll go elsewhere..
Dear Staff,
You're expanding operations, and building credibility in Sudbury. You're not a little cafe anymore. Now that you're reaching out to new crowds beyond your original gang, people are gonna be a little more judgmental.
I'm not going to describe the lackluster service I've sometimes received from the junior staff. I'm sure management knows what sometimes goes on. What I would suggest, in turn, is stricter quality controls on servers to ensure that in this time of critical expansion, potential new-regulars won't be turned off and turned around.
Keep up the good work.
Fantastic food if you manage to get a waitress and get your food by the end of the day!
We went for lunch and it was busy as usual. We ordered our drinks and then when the waitress came back to take our food order, she informed us that if we wanted to order a sandwich (which we did want) that it would take at least an hour and a half to get it!! A sandwich! When we asked why, the waitress said because it is so busy. So we decided to order a salad because she said that would be faster. Well we still waited approximately an hour and a half for our salads.
While we were waiting, i ordered another drink but had to go inside to get it myself because the waitress forgot about it.
When my friend received her salad, there was no balsamic vinagrette dressing on it and the waitress just put it down in front of her and walked away. Didn't explain anything. So when she asked the waitress why there was no dressing on the salad, she said, "Oh we ran out". My friend had to ask if she could have another type of dressing then.
This was my 3rd time there and the service was slow every time but this was horrible service! I may go back again and give them a chance since the food is great. But they really need to make some sort of changes in the kitchen. They know they are often very busy and should have extra kitchen staff and wait staff.
