    A neighborhood gem serving fresh Japanese cuisine with heart and soul in Louisville, KY.

    Our Story

    Where Passion Meets Tradition

    White Buddha is a small, family-run neighborhood restaurant proudly serving the Louisville community. Husband and wife Rich and Barbie Boyd, along with Hugo, are the owners who are frequently present and welcome guests with warm hospitality.

    We take pride in serving fresh sushi, flavorful hibachi, and generous portions that keep our neighbors coming back. Our cozy space may be small, but the quality and care we put into every dish is immense.
