Obnoxious owner

When I ordered, I specifically asked to have fresh chillies and reduced coconut milk. Instead of any response, the order was placed and I was presented with the standard fare. When I inquired about my request, I was informed ’that’s the way they always make it.’ When I asked to speak with a manager, I learned that I was dealing with ‘one of the owners.’

This is not a service establishment – I think even McDonald’s will adjust an item to suit your request.

I was excited to have a new Thai restaurant, but I’ve come to the conclusion that there are a few ‘Thai’ recipes that are being churned out by ‘guest workers’.

If you want to try it, I guess you should hurry – there’s no one there at lunch, so I don’t think the place will be around for long.

Dishes I tried:

Rockin Red Curry

The quality of ingredients is good, but the spice is weak.

Fresh ingredients plus a skilled wok hand

Extremely fresh ingredients and the skill to prevent stir frying them into textural oblivion. Based on 2 visits, Buddha Thai compares favorably to its Belltown competitors.

I get the feeling they’re trying to make it at least a little more authentic. The chili tray has 2 types of fresh chilis (plus paste and flakes). I think they’re still learning that at least a few Americans don’t like over-sweetened food. Eager, friendly service. No brown rice.

Dishes I tried:

Pulsating Pad Kee Mao

The noodles, veggies, and meat all had exactly the right texture.
