Laughing Buddha - Sudbury, Ontario

There were no people around and yet it took forever for our server to show up. When we were ready to order, she said, I'll be back, I have another table to check. Then got out orders. Food was lousy. Hamburger for $20 each, Wendy's ... makes better burgers. Then the fries were hard. Not crispy at all. It tasted like it was recycled. The chicken club's bread was hard as rock. It was 12 midnight, I can understand that it must be a long day for everyone but they close at 2am, so they should give their customers a decent meal. The food was also pricey on top of it being lousy. Never again would I go within it's four walls. Read more

Amazing service especially when we went an hour before closing! The staff was incredible. It was my gf’s birthday and they made it so special. Been here multiple times before and have never been disappointed.

The management's discrimination is glaringly evident here. If you're not a local, it's best to steer clear of this place. While passing through Sudbury, we decided to dine here. We requested a patio spot for nine people from the waitress. She informed us that they couldn't accommodate us immediately but ... suggested returning in an hour. Despite our fatigue, we agreed and explored the city before returning as instructed. However, upon our return, we were told that the patio was only for groups of seven, and we were directed inside to a dimly lit area. Despite the hardworking waitstaff, it was apparent they were understaffed. Our order took an hour to arrive, and the pizza was lukewarm. Upon leaving, we noticed they seated a group of ten on the same patio, seemingly because they were locals. When we questioned this discrepancy, they blamed the customers, saying they rearranged everything. This experience left us incredibly disappointed with this establishment. Read more

"I feel that this incident, caused by the manager, was an example of discrimination!" Nine of us arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 pm, hoping to dine on the patio. However, we were informed that there were no available tables, but if we waited for an hour, one would become available. ... Deciding to stroll around town to pass the time, we returned an hour later only to find that there was still no space on the patio, so we reluctantly accepted an indoor table. During this time, a group of seven patrons who had been seated outside left, leaving their table vacant. We requested to occupy their table and asked only to add two extra chairs, but the manager refused, insisting that area outside was only for parties of seven. Disappointed, we settled for indoor seating. However, upon leaving, we noticed that another group of ten was now seated at the same table we had requested earlier!!! When I brought this discrepancy to the manager's attention, they merely offered excuses, claiming that the customers had seated themselves without notifying the staff. How is it possible for ten customers to occupy a table in a restaurant and add three extra chairs to it without notifying the staff???? I couldn't help but feel that this incident was an example of discrimination. Regarding the food, while the vegan pizza was enjoyable, the Miso Bowl could have been tastier. Additionally, it seemed that the restaurant was understaffed, as the employees were rushed and struggled to keep up with orders, resulting in delays and difficulty obtaining service. Ultimately, I believe the manager bears responsibility for these shortcomings. Read more
