What User likes about Wee Buddha:
What a fantastic little restaurant. A tiny building pulled the Jamaica Lane away. The feeling is pulsating and far away from stuff. The staff is very welcoming and very helpful when it comes to eating, dishes can be made hotter or milder depending on the taste. We had chicken wings, Singapore noodles and the traditional Thai green curry. Everything was just amazing and good. I'll be back. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Wee Buddha:
Quirky little place, almost hidden in a wee side street in the centre of Edinburgh. This place has a very interesting selection of food, especially the starters. These are delicious and fun. The main course I received however (I think I ordered traditional Singapore noodles) was kinda dry, tasteless and boring, which was a real shame. The portion sizes are massive. I wasn’t overly impressed but the menu was interesti... View all feedback.

Tucked away off a side street in vibrant Edinburgh, Wee Buddha offers a unique dining experience that delights many with its creative menu and cozy ambiance. While the starters, including standout chicken wings and garlic chili squid, receive rave reviews, main courses evoke mixed reactions, particularly concerning portion sizes and seasoning. The welcoming staff are noted for their accommodating service, though some diners have encountered issues related to seating arrangements and timing. Overall, patrons appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and diverse options, from a dedicated vegan menu to an array of cocktails, marking it as a must-visit culinary gem.

The Japanese noodles were delicious, however, the small portion of steamed pak choi with a teaspoon of oyster sauce was not worth its price of £5.50. The beer w...
