    Top: Garlic & basil chicken Bottom: spicy huli chicken & kalua pork combo
    Marge L.

    The food looks good in the pictures but taste and price is not it. There was no one there and we still waited a good 20mins to get our food.

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken Katsu
    Sisi T.

    The customer service here was great. Our cashier who helped us was patient and friendly. She helped make a suggestion when I couldn't decide on the mochiko chicken or the basil chicken. She suggested I could get both. Which is what I decided on. It was basically the same boneless fried chicken breast cut into pieces with two separate sauces and toppings. In older photos of the basil chicken it was more of a whole chicken thigh and leg. Which appeared to be baked to crispness. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't the same as that previous pictured version. We also ordered a side of fried rice which came with Chinese sausage and was topped with the cabbage slaw. That was my favorite dish of the meal. There are various offerings of pre-portioned sauces such as sambal, katsu sauce, etc...there was one with fish sauce that had me at hello lol. It was nice to try a few. All were quite delicious. Portions were generous and the plate came with rice, Mac salad, and a cabbage slaw. The Mochiko had a Korean spicy style red sauce which was more a flavor profile than spicy in heat. The basil chicken tasted like a soy based sauce. Unfortunately they were all out of banana pudding and haupia pie when we arrived around late afternoon. I've sampled many a plate lunches. My mains and sides were good. Good, but didn't make an impression upon me personally. That doesn't mean I wouldn't come back to try different dishes to see if I may like something more than my particular dish on this visit. Glad I gave em a try while in town. I'm always on the lookout for island style plate lunch spots.

    Red chicken curry

    Ordered the red curry lunch combo, Phad Thai was great but the curry had little bits of chicken and some shredded pieces like it was scrapped from the bottom of the pan, never had I had red curry like this; just wasn't too appetizing

    Combo Huli & Hawaiian Beef
    Joshua F.

    Buddha Bruddah is an awesome lunch spot for Hawaiian food. Fresh, flavorful ingredients - my favorites are the grilled mahi mahi, the pad see ew, and the combo plates. They have a sauce bar with seven (7) different sauces like crying tiger, nuoc cham, sambal, and old standbys like siracha and teriyaki for those so inclined. I prefer adding any of the lime & fish sauce based sauces to my meals. Yum!

    Garlic Shrimp
    Wendy K.

    Bern awhile since I wrote a review generous portion on the Kalua pork, i decided to be a little healthier today and went with the garlic shrimp. There are soft whole cloves of garlic that add an umami to the dish. I think the chicken dishes are still my favorite and I like the slaw that comes with the entrees. Finally broke down and tried the banana cream pie that we heard a out at our first visit. Definitely is tasty!

    Loco Moco
    James E.

    I ordered the Loco Moco. Burger was char grilled giving it a great flavor. I decided to only order one scoop of rice because 2 scoops would have been way too much. I suggest order extra gravy and an extra egg. We ordered online and the food was on time and hot. Inside the restaurant was clean and service was good.

    Garlic Basil Fried Chicken
    Maggie L.

    4.5 stars for food, and 4 stars for the casual whole dining experience. Order at the counter, and then grab any empty table; someone will bring the food to your table. Food took 15-20 minutes after ordering. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. My favorite was the Garlic Basil Fried Chicken - so juicy and tender, and great flavor. I like to try Garlic Fried Chicken at different Thai restaurants. And this version is amongst the best I've tried. So trust me when I say "get it!" Both Loco Moco (comes with a runny egg) and Kalua Pork are good too. Some interesting beer selection, like mango or coconut ale. There are also coconut pie and chocolate pie for dessert.

    Huli Huli Char Grilled Chicken
    Vincent P.

    Some good asian fusion food! I got to try Buddha Bruddah via take out and the dishes were craveworthy. I got the Fried Chicken Mochiko and Huli Huli Chicken. The fried chicken was a delight with some gochujang aioli, giving it a spicy kick. The Huli Huli Chicken was solid grilled chicken with a bed of rice and coleslaw. Both were delicious, but my favorite was the Fried Chicken Mochiko, I really enjoyed the crispy chicken with the gochujang aioli. Overall, this is a solid spot and the portions were great for each dish.

    Huli huli chicken and hawaiian grilled beef combo platter
    Beatrice H.

    We ordered takeout on a Monday night. I had heard good things, but haven't had time to try them. The picture of their loco moco looked less traditional so we ordered a combo beef/chicken and a spicy pork platter. Their fried chicken also looked good, but we didn't think it would transport well. The portions were BIG. It was adequate to feed us, our baby and made lunch for the next day. The price was about 15-20 a plate so pretty average, but the value with the portions were great! The food itself was tasty, but maybe a little more korean than hawaiian. It was well seasoned and cooked well. The chicken was a little dry for my liking, but the flavor was good. It came with 2 scoops of rice and a scoop of mac salad. The mac salad was one of my favorites in seattle so far and the warm rice went so well with everything. Since we didn't eat in, I cannot comment on the service unfortunately, but maybe we can someday soon. Overall, good eats, maybe not just hawaiian, more korean, but delightful and well portioned. I would recommend this if you are looking for some tasty plates.

    Coconut Cream mini pie
    Sofia C.

    Today, we went to Buddha Bruddah for dinner! Right upon entry, we were greeted with kind smiles, and great attitudes. My partner and I both got combo plates. Each combo plate comes with your choice of meat, two scoops of jasmine rice, coleslaw, and Mac salad. Every dish was a five out of five - great flavors and portions! The dining room was clean, and towards the side there were various options of sauces to dip! Would recommend!

    This is a cool Hawaiian/Asian Fusion spot in, I believe, the Mt. baker area. We were craving rice and some Asian flavors so we chose this place for dinner. We got the huli-huli chicken and short rib combo and the spicy sesame chicken plate. The huli-huli chicken was flavorful, but it's not as moist as the HH chicken at other places. The short ribs were delicious, but the sauce just seemed like super regular teriyaki sauce. I did like some of the charred parts of the short ribs! I liked the spicy sesame chicken a bit more than the other plate. The chicken was more moist, the batter was not too thick and was still crispy despite the generous sauce. It wasn't too spicy for me either! The space is pretty cool and the vibe is chill. The lady working the cashier was nice and didn't seem annoyed when I asked for a few things several times! This is a solid Hawaiian spot in the area!

    Spicy Sesame Chicken
    Lily T.

    Wow! We ordered the Loco Moco, Chicken Katsu, Spicy Sesame Chicken. The sides and everything was tastie. I highly recommend.

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken Katsu

    The food was great for the most part! I ordered 4 plates two of which were chicken katsu however one of them came with hair underneath the breading of the chicken, as if it was cooked with the hair already in there. I've ate from here multiple times and have always loved the food and service! so I know this isn't a common occurrence however it did leave a sour taste in my mouth and I would hope they take better action to prevent getting hair in items again.

    Uncle Hong's Fried Chicken (limited time item that I hope comes back soon!)

However seating was a bit confusing as you had to find an empty table and the server would bring you the food. When it was busy the line and wait got messy and it's possible to get your food without having a table so I don't recommend coming here when it's super busy There were around 8 tables and some bar seatings. You can see staff making the food over the counter and the ventilation was done well even with all the stir fry and cooking.

It was absolutely incredible. We ordered it at spice level 3, and it definitely brought the heat. I was sweating by the end of the meal!

From the outside, we noticed the restaurant takes up a good amount of space in the building. Once we arrived, there were several people waiting to be seated. We added our name and number to the list. It was about a 10-to-12-minute wait for our party of 2. Throughout the restaurant, the lighting is dim and suited for night life. Once we were seated, we were given the menus. We ordered the Grilled Calamari, Uncle Odds Flank Red Curry Wild Betel Leave with Sticky Rice, Battered Chicken Red Curry, and Durian Tiramisu. The food came out at a respectable amount of time. The Grilled Calamari was an enticing appetizer off the menu based off how big it was. However, we were a bit disappointed once it arrived at the table. It was much smaller. It was still good regardless. Once our main entrees arrived, we were also a bit surprised by the lack of vegetables there were in the curry. Even though the menu states exactly what was in each of the curry dishes, we were still just shocked and questioning why that was. We both enjoyed the curries anyways. I wouldn't order the Battered Chicken Red Curry again only because the batter of the chicken was getting soaked the longer it sat in the curry and became a bit mushy. The texture was throwing me off. It was very filling as there were lots of chicken compared to the other curry we had which was a much smaller portion of protein. Lastly, the Durian Tiramisu was amazing! Definitely the star of the show for us. If you don't like durian, it won't be for you. For the durian lovers, this is a must have!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we were looking forward to the bold flavors we've come to love. The visit started off a bit oddly. The front desk server, Tar, asked to see my wife's ID--even though she's 36 years old and we weren't seated in the bar area. It felt inconsistent, especially since younger guests nearby weren't asked, and it's something we've never experienced at their other locations. Unfortunately, moments like that made us feel singled out, and honestly it sometimes feels like they tend to pick on Asians, whether intentional or not. That feeling alone made the experience uncomfortable and will likely make this our last visit to this location. That said, the table service was excellent. Moo took great care of us, and Cece from the bar was attentive and kept our water filled throughout the meal. Unfortunately, there were a few moments that took away from the experience. While I was taking photos of our dishes, a young staff member alongside Tar appeared to be giggling and mocking me, which made things uncomfortable. It may not have been intentional, but it didn't feel professional and only added to the awkward atmosphere we already felt. Food-wise, there were some inconsistencies. The chicken didn't taste as good as we remember, and several plates had visible fingerprints, which was off-putting. The galvanized metal plates also gave off a slightly unrefined feel--more like cafeteria-style serving ware. Additionally, the sticky rice, which is usually presented in a traditional bamboo basket, was served in a Ziploc bag, which felt like a downgrade in presentation. On a positive note, the papaya salad and pad Thai were still very good and delivered the flavors we expect. We'll continue supporting Isarn, but we'll likely return to the Kirkland or Lynnwood locations next time. Sadly, after this experience, this Queen Anne visit will probably be our last.
