This restaurant is named after the Yangtze River, which at more than 3,000 miles, is the longest river in China. It winds through the valleys of Central China and flows out into the East China Sea to Korea and Japan. Legend has it that the Yangtze is home to twelve stone goddesses who guide trade ships in the mist. Good luck is guaranteed to all those who see them and give tribute.

After working four years in Southeast Asia and the Far East, Jonathan Chu returned to his hometown of Los Angeles looking for the authentic tastes of Asia he enjoyed throughout his travels. Chu envisioned a unique restaurant that would provide an eclectic selection of his favorite Pan-Asian foods at an affordable price that would woo both fans of Asian cuisine and the uninitiated alike.

With his friend and business partner Evan Silver, they recruited renowned Executive Chef Hisashi Yoshiara and opened Buddha’s Belly in early December 2002.
