Great spot, tucked away in the Newport harbor. Heat lamps on the patio make it a great outdoor sushi spot year round. Creative rolls, fresh sushi and generous amounts of sake! More

I've been to Buddha's Fav a couple times now with a couple different groups of friends, and it was wonderful both times.

My fiance and I were very disappointed with the quality of sushi at Buddhas's Favorite. It didn't taste fresh and the presentation was not great. We ended up spending over $50 with food left on our plates because we didn't want to finish it. We NEVER leave leftover food!!! I would not recommend this spot. More

Small but ambitious little sushi place with unusual rolls, etc, and beautiful presentation. Great on the harbor location (if a little difficult to find). A treat. More
