Absolutely fantastic night. Beautiful food, surroundings & staff. You can tell the food was freshly made, crispy vegetables & tender beef. Prawns were very tasty, definitely not over cooked. Staff extremely friendly, helpful & accommodating. Definitely recommend this place & will be back very soon.

Absolutely excellent visit on Saturday. We had an amazing experience while we were there. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. When we wanted to stay longer they made that possible for us also! The food was delicious we started with the tapas selection while we decided and then moved onto dumplings and sushi they were all amazing and the cocktails were unreal. We will definitely be back soon!

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Literally the only fault I could offer is music is occasionally a little loud, but that's nitpicking and never detracts from a lovely restaurant, and is also just my personal opinion and preference. Food, atmosphere, decor, location, access, car parking, value for money, menu selection, staff and toilet facilities are all excellent. It is my favourite restaurant in South Shields.

Really helpful and friendly staff with a lovely decor. The food was fresh, delicious with good sized portions, all well presented and packed with flavour. We went for the four tapas style dishes with two drinks deal for £23. Ordering this twice for two people provided a great choice of options from the menu (including a lovely tempura prawn sushi dish and a chicken pad thai dish) and 4 drinks, all in for £46. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Lovely food and staff with good service, cocktails are fab even if it takes the stag a little while to make them, they're worth it. Only criticism is the music is just too loud you can't hear each other talk even when there's only a few at the table.

We had a meal here for my wife’s birthday, and it was tremendous from start to finish, they waitress advised on portion sizes, which was amazing! The food was delicious and super quick! Great service all round!

I visited Buddha Lounge for the first time to catch up with friends and check out somewhere different. The food was lovely, the staff were really good (attentive without being overbearing) and we felt that it was very good value. The sushi, in particular, was delicious. I'll definitely be back in the future.

Portions were huge, staff was friendly and we had a lovely evening. The weeknight special offer was a great deal and we enjoyed our food. I can't wait to go back and try some sushi next time.

First time and won't be last. Portions are good size. Lovely atmosphere and well priced. I would even go as far to say best Red curry I have ever had. The waitresses were really friendly to.

I didn't realise this was what used to be Loca, so I wasn't expecting a lot....the food was good, the cumin lamb ribs were spectacular! But the duck was dry, sauces were a bit bland and unoriginal. Service was very friendly, but terrible! We sat for over 20 mins with empty plates and in the end had to ask for them to be taken away. Table wasn't clear when we sat down, and there seemed to be loads of staff busy doing not very much. Staff were all lovely and friendly but poorly trained. I commented on how good the lamb was and the server said she wasn't paid enough to be able to try the food....surely your team should try the menu so they can explain it to the diners?? Anyway, the food was good and we will be back, but probably not if we're in a rush.

My son has a peanut allergy and I informed them before hand and they were happy to accommodate. The server was so lovely and came and talked us through the menu at what he could have and how everything would be prepared separately. Really good service and good food
