Something new is rolling into The Stubborn Buddha… 👀🥢

We’ve been busy behind the scenes dreaming up a few new additions to the menu, and let’s just say they’re fresh, refined, and worth getting excited about.

Think delicate Nigiri. Vibrant crudo. Some old favorites , & few surprises we aren’t quite ready to reveal yet. ✨

The question is: if you could add one thing to the Buddha menu, what would it be?

Drop your guesses below. Bonus points if you guess what we’re about to launch next. 👇🔥

A squeeze of lemon over crispy calamari, finished with a bold kimchi aioli that brings just the right amount of flavor. Crunchy, bright, spiced, and impossible not to steal from the table. 🍋🔥
