Dropped in here whilst staying in Wanaka and were not disappointed. The family each had a different meal and they were all awesome fresh and super tasty. Would recommend to everyone who is visiting Wanaka to stop by and enjoy a dish from Buddha's Corner. I loved the Buddha Box and the Buddha Bowl...

We went here a few months ago for lunch and they had a special lunch menu which was great but this time upon our return they had dropped the lunch special and changed the menu. The items on offer didn't offer enough of a selection and where they once catered for everyone who walked in off the street it now seems that they are aiming for the Korean bus tour. The dish we ordered had more onion in it than anything else and was very watery it wasn't worth the price and we won't be back.Thank you for the review.So sorry for the disappointment.Would you able to tell me what dish you had and when did you come? We will try to make it better.We had Lunch specials for 2 years to promote our restaurant since the opening.On our main menu, Lunch special dishes are still available to order just different pricing and size.With the tour groups, we are not receiving any groups since the start of this year to focus on our local customers.Kind regards

Easy access with lake views. Service is very fast, friendly staff and portions are generous. Selection of beers, wines and soft drinks available. Parking in main street, and several 120 min off-street sites nearby. We made a quick stop for dinner on our evening walk, Surrounded by bars and restaurants, in the middle of town, most convenient.

This very good new restaurant is so popular we couldnât get a table the previous weekend, so this time we made a booking! Four of us enjoyed a range of shared plates. In particular, we loved the salmon ceviche, the dumplings and the beef brisket.Service was excellent. Only one minor drawback: This restaurant has a lot of tables - both upstairs and down - in a modern space with no soft furnishings so it is quite noisy (not ideal if you are older with limited hearing) But We loved it, and will certainly return soon!

Visited this small restaurant on 6th jan for lunch. We ordered some sushi to go with the noodles and the curry rice. The sushi were so so but the curry rice is quite nice! Interestingly the noodles tasted a bit Singapore style Hor fun! All in all, itâs cheap and satisfy our craving! Would have given a 3 star if itâs Singapore but considered quite good if itâs in NZ.

Shinaburo was not easy to find, but what a gem it was when my wife and I did so. New to Korean cuisine, the staff were fantastic in helping us navigate the menu. The food was quick, high quality and delivered with a smile. Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We are in Wanaka for eight days. We ate at Sananoki early in the week and enjoyed it so much we went again last night. The food and service were excellent! My difficult to please son would go back everyday if it were up to him. We have booked a table for our last night in town. Bento box, Ramen and sushi were all delicious, as were the starters we chose.

If anyone wants to wait for more than 1 hour to get a simple meal severed, this is the right place. I tried to get the order done quickly by walking to the counter. But I was told to go back to my seat, it had to be a specific person to take the order. Finally this important lady turned up at our table, and told us that we have to wait until the other guests finished their orders since we arrived after them. 2 entrees and 1 dish were started to be served after 40 mins slowly in different time. After 1 hour or so this order-taking lady came to tell us that the fried rice was missed out.

After completing Lord of the Rungs waterfall hike we were starving and headed to the Spice Room for dinner. What a great experience! So many gluten free/dairy free options. We had the place pretty much to ourselves because we were early diners, and the service was outstanding and the flavors amazing. You canât go wrong with any curry dish and we also tried the special which was a very unique lamb dish. The flavors were bursting through the food and we left stuffed. Highly recommend while in Wanaka!
