I was pretty impressed with Buddy. The service was very fast. Our waitress literally stood at our table until we were ready to order which was not necessary and awkward but was ready when we were. The food came very fast and was fresh but it didn't come all at the same time. We for vegetarian spring rolls, chicken chow mein, ginger and green onion beef, and almond chicken. Just a note that the ginger chicken is not fried as well, the almond chicken was bland - but other than that it was good! I will be going back and would recommend it.
Good place for Chinese food. Ridiculously fast and receptive service. Food quality is very good. The Seafood Chow Mein has a good balance of seafood to vegetables. The noodles are crisp on the edges and are good quality. Other Chinese restaurants in the city make their chow mein too drenched in sauce or fall short of providing a good balance of seafood to vegetables. Personally, I like my dishes packed with fresh ingredients but in balance with the dish. The Ginger Chicken is also very good here. It is presented nicely and you can see the quality. The chicken is crispy and the sauce is very complementing and tasty. Every dish comes out lightning fast and is hot to serve. Interior could be better but otherwise, service is phenomenal and food is very good.
New Budddddy!. Everything they make is delicious and full of flavors! From sweet and sour pork chop to fried taro w/duck. Taste so dam good writing this review. Hella tasty!
Some Guy. We pass by this place very often, and for over two years keep saying "we should try that place." Well, today we did, and we were not disappointed.
I can see why people say that the service isn't great, because it wasn't. Was it BAD, no. It just wasn't the greatest. Most of the menu seemed to be a fairly bog standard Canadian Chinese, but we wanted something a bit more authentic. As such, we decided to put the restaurant's name to the test and order the Seafood Bird's nest. . . and it was DELICIOUS! I don't care how authentic it is (or isn't), it was well worth the $22.50 as we didn't get all the way through it before we were filled up and happy. Their smoothies are also quite passable and refreshing. I'd definitely go back, if only for the duck which people were eating at the next table and it looked delicious.
Make sure to get black pepper beef chow mein!
Buddy is good. I've been here a few times and think the food is good, authentic Chinese, good prices, nothing fancy.
Super clean, friendly fast service. Waitress gave perfect recommendations. Food was great! 1/2 fried chicken with garlic soya sauce was excellent!! Fried rice was good as was the ginger beef. I have no complaints and will be back.

Our Go To for Great Chinese Food. This is a place that we have been going to since it opened. It quickly became a favorite of ours and we have been there hundreds of times and have taken friends and family there to introduce them to some fantastic meals.
This restaurant has consistency down to a science. The food is always hot and delicious and comes out of that kitchen so fast that you'll think that you must have called ahead with your order!
Service has always been quick and helpful and polite. No complaints there.
We like to order off the Chinese-Chinese Food Menu, not the Canadian-Chinese food one. If you venture away from your Chicken Chow Mein and your Pineapple Chicken Balls for a moment, there is a whole world of deliciousness waiting to be tasted. This is definitely the place to try some new things. I can honestly say that I have never had a dish here that I didn't enjoy, but some of our favorites are:
Black Pepper Beef (Hot)
Tofu w/ Chinese Mushrooms & Suey Choy
Crispy Chicken with Garlic Sauce
No Name Ribs
Peking Style Ribs
Beef Brisket Noodle Soup
Rice Noodle w/ Beef & Bean Sprouts
Don't be afraid to look around at other tables and see what other dishes appeal to you, and ask your server if you are looking for a new suggestion. They may steer you towards your next favorite dish!
This is a place that I would recommend without hesitation. Give it a try and I'm sure that you will be very happy with your choice.
Good food and price. I ordered their sweet and sour pork on rice. I asked for no vegetables and they complied! even the waitress spoke english very well. brother had bbq duck and we split some chicken wings. price was very reasonable and it was clean. they even have some fresh seafood but we didn't go for that. I would come back. Parking was plentiful but watch for blind motorists who go the wrong way on the one way streets
Their pork belly with preservatives vegetable is really good , similar to the one that I used to have in Hong Kong! Great service.:) garlic chicken is also really good to compare ble to some places in Hong Kong:)
