Always delicious, their crispy parcels, golden bags, hot n sour soup, and curries (type doesn't matter they're all tasty!) 10/10. They make delicious food. read more

We had take out from this place at our friends' house tonight and it was so delicious. Yellow, red and green curry plus veggie pad Thai were all really tasty. The rice was a cross between Jasmine and sticky rice and was also really good. Will totally try this place again when we're in Boulder. read more

I absolutely loved the fresh ginger tofu lunch!!! We ordered spring rolls too that we're delicious. The sweet & sour soup they offer when you sit is like a super flavorful, pleasant Tom Yum base. I will definitely be back!! read more

If you like simple restaurants with really good Thai food this is the place for you. The food is as tasty as the food you get in Thailand, though not as spicy. The service is efficient, the place comfortable, the prices reasonable. It's usually not crowded or noisy, so it's a good spot for a group lunch or dinner. I recommend it highly! read more

This my favorite Thai place in Boulder. Most of their dishes include a tomato flavoring, which I enjoy. If you're OK with that, you'll love it. read more

Have been here upwards of 12 times and every time am happy with the decision. Quality curry and apps. Always friendly. A perfect spot for a friendly lunch or dinner with buddies or a casual date. read more

Best dumplings I think I've ever had. Impressive, really. The sauce they come with and the perfect texture and flavor combinations of the dumplings made my tongue so happy. Which was unfortunate really, because the pad Thai was so impressively bad, that I couldn't eat more than three bites. Soggy noodles, covered in old ketchup, with some peanuts on top. That's what the pad Thai tasted like. And my poor tongue, which was so overjoyed by the dumplings, was then subjected to the flavor monstrosity that was the pad Thai. It felt like a retelling of Old Yeller, but in my mouth. The food promised to love my tongue forever, but then had to drag it out back and shoot it, when my tongue really needed it most. Also, I am bad at analogies. read more

Every dish I've tried here has been absolutely delicious. The drunken noodles are a favorite, as well as the Buddha Chow Mein or Buddha Noodles & and all of the curries are wonderful. I like things on the spicer side so a 4 on a scale of 1-5 packs just the right amount of heat. They have a bit of a small space and kitchen though, so plan a little extra time for your meal with either dining in or take out. Worth the wait though! read more

It's not terrible, it's not great. As yelp says for three stars, it's A-Ok. It's tricky enough to try to order vegan here and I've definitely had entire orders be completely wrong when I go to pick them up. Example: vegetable fried rice with every kind of meat you could imagine. My last attempt at good food here was vegetable cashew stir fry. The fish smell coming from it made it too hard to eat. I think I'm done with Buddha Thai, but for some reason my friends still like it. read more

The veggies in their curries and stir-fries are super fresh, the basil delicious. My drunken noodles were only so-so, the shrimp were way overcooked, and the noodles goopier than I prefer. But my sister's yellow curry was so tasty! read more

Best Thai food in Boulder - no contest. I've lived in Boulder for seven years and systematically eaten at every Thai restaurant in the area - this wins. Soup? Fried rice? Noodles? Take your pick because it's all top-tier. Little hole-in-the wall in North Boulder with absolutely phenomenal food. I've brought dozens of friends through, my family when they were in from out of town. Never heard a bad word about anything. Always ask about the specials on the whiteboard. 5/5 is hot enough to make your forehead sweat (yes, even if you eat spicy food all the time). Fried bananas with honey - thank me later. read more

Came here for dinner with a vegan friend. We got the buddha noodles, golden bags, and green curry. The green curry was great, the golden bags a LITTLe bland but hey, they were cute. Buddha noodles were a liiiitttllleeee too peanut butterry, but they were delicious. I like spicy food. When asking for spice level, I just said "really spicy for a white person" and they made it perfect lol. read more

Food is amazing. I can always count on consistency. The crispy parcels are really great

Great Thai place in Brown Deer. I recommend them for a very authentic experience that is not over priced.

Within 3 hours of eating here, our party of 6 became violently ill. Vomiting & diarrhea. It lasted about 24 hours. Don't risk your health.

This rating is more like 3 and half stars and this is why. First things first, this is not thai food. I'd put money on the fact that the owners are Mongolian. The restaurant is decorated to be a Japanese restaurant and does not have one Thai decoration. Second, the food is not bad but again does not taste anything like thai food. Everything is oddly sweet as if they use some kind of Chinese sweet sauce in their cooking. Two good things I will say about this place is that the portions are big and the spice is definitely there. Go to Thai Avenue if you want authentic Thai food. Update: the owners are in fact Nepalese read more

My friend and I searched boulder high and low for a place to get some good pad Thai and this place finally blew us away! The portions are huge (we usually share unless we want leftovers) and the prices aren't too high! I would also recommend the crispy parcels with plum sauce Side note: they'll ask you what spice level you want your pad Thai (0-4) and from my experience if you're with a group all ordering different levels then they usually won't listen read more

The food is very mediocre. I got the drunken noodles and the sauce tasted very much like it was just from a can and I barely had any vegetables. On my visit here the service was super slow. Either they were understaffed or just a lot busier than expected. So maybe on a different night it may be better. From an atmosphere standpoint, very bland. Could be any run of the mill strip mall restaurant. At least the food is pretty cheap. read more

Amazing food at a decent price! I can say truly that the customer service is some of the best in Boulder. After eating here for a few years now I'd say that they are also some of the most consistent in town, I can always count on that perfect calamari and the mango sauce :) Try it! read more

Buddha Thai Cuisine - Pad Woon Sen! - Thai Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Doesn't look like much by the storefront, but my fiance and I know that stripmalls are the typical locations for hidden gems. The food and the portions are fantastic! This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Colorado. The staff is very kind. I would recommend to friends and family. read more

I have to give this restaurant for their service. We ordered 3 take out dishes for pick up. The food was ready for pick up within a half hour so no problems there. Unfortunately 2 out of the 3 dishes were unacceptable in terms of quality. That said, they gave me a CASH refund for them the next day when l came back to return the food and l originally used a credit card to pay for it so that alone was impressive. They couldn't have been nicer and apologized profusely about it and were very gracious about refunding me. 5 stars for service! Unfortunately the food was a different matter. We ordered the super combo appetizer, which was quite tasty, especially the crispy parcels. We didn't request a refund for that dish as it was eaten and enjoyed. The seafood combination Pad Thai and chicken drunken noodles with medium spice were a different story. I attempted to eat the Pad Thai and it had an adequate amount of seafood in it though more would have been nice, but it tasted overwhelmingly like ketchup and the noodles were over cooked and mushy. I tried putting peanut sauce in it but that tomato flavor and the over cooked noodles just couldn't be overcome. We tasted the drunken noodles and it was the same: mushy noodles, over cooked vegetables and what tasted like tomato sauce! We sent it back virtually untouched. After reading all the reviews l saw quite a few reviews that indicated the same thing about the noodle dishes and the pad Thai in particular. I've eaten a lot of Pad Thai and hate to say it, this was the worst I've ever had but I never liked my mother's rendition of ketchup on pasta either. I don't know why or how they got their noodles to take on this flavor but it's not at all what Thai noodles should taste like. I was very impressed by the staff being nice and refunding my money. I hate spending my hard earned cash on going out to eat and not enjoying it so this made up for that aspect but the only thing I can heartily recommend are the crispy parcels and Buddha golden bags so if l was going to get anything again to give them business that is what I would get. So 1 Star for the appetizers and 1 for the service. I do appreciate when people stand behind what they offer. What I don't understand is how so many people love this place and it's the "best" in Boulder and on the other side you have people who feel the same as l do but I haven't eaten in any other Thai restaurants in Boulder. read more

I'm not the kind of person that even writes yelp reviews and I'm not usually extreme about any reviews I write anywhere. But that was the worst pad see ew I've ever had. Like whoa. Noodles were over cooked and rubbery and lacking sauce. Dry chicken. Ugh. I kinda want my money back and I think I've sent food back to the kitchen twice in my whole life. Yikes. Steer clear. read more

Delicious...delicious. Great service. These folks are professionals. I feel like I get consistent food each time. And the flavors are solid and not oily. I get the Tom Yum (which I am SO GLAD comes in larger sizes) and also papaya salad and other dishes and it is all so delicious. I don't think you will be disappointed. On busy days, I would give them just a bit of extra time, as it is a popular spot for takeout. read more

The quality of food varies through the week. I generally get the Drunken Noodles so I've been able to observe quality over time. Some days it's prepared well and is tasty. Others times the dish is overcooked and/or oversauced. The meal I ate tonight was a noodle dish but there was so much thick sauce it was more like a casserole. Squishy and messy. Please raise your game Buddha Thai and train your weekday cooks. read more

Always very good food. We ordered it through the Yelp app for take out. Nice and hot and flavorful.

This is my favorite restaurant in Boulder. The staff is really friendly, the food is delicious and reasonably priced. I eat here at least two or three times a month, probably more. Also, if you like spicy food and think that restaurants in America usually wimp out with spice, these guys can hook you up. And if spice frightens you and you want to eat some bland noodles while your crazy friends fry their brains, this place can hook you up too. read more

The worst Pad Thai and Tom Yum. The pad Thai and soup both tasted like it had ketchup in it. Both of these entrees were unbeatable. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

their curry dishes are out of this world, amazing rich flavors. worth a trip!

My entire friend group's go-to for Thai. Green Curry and Massaman for the win. We do have a conspiracy that they put in as much spice as they want and don't care how many stars you ordered. Makes it more fun. I'll sweat through it no matter what read more

Thai coffee was great, curry was good. Service was very 'meh'. Our waiter didn't greet us for a good 5 minutes of waiting, he was out back texting. He kept texting the entire time we were there and didn't really attend to us. read more

Waiter just left the whole restaurant waiting, some people walked out. We nearly did. Food was fine.

Tasty enough sauce, odd cooking method. Had it delivered, so maybe was packaged to travel, but still - Rard Na noodles tasted a little stale, kind of tough and chewy - not succulent fresh noodles like I tend to seek out with this dish. Still enjoyed it enough, probably would be best recooking the noodles and sauce together on a stovetop before serving. Sauce was also watery. Tom Yum is waaaaaay too sweet, I picked out the shrimp and mushrooms to add to my other dish, but I won't be finishing it. read more

Not the best I've ever had but pretty good for Boulder, which is definitely lacking in the ethnic-food department. Pad thai was sweet (tamarind?) and the drunken noodles were delish. Good amount of spice. The shrimp that came with the drunken were plump and plentiful. read more

So, I have a new craving food and it's the Drunken Noodles at Buddha Cafe. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. They keep me coming back for more. I've eaten here a few times now, and it's consistently good. I've also tried the red curry and it was very tasty, but I still prefer the drunken noodles. The waitstaff is also very friendly and accommodating to special requests. read more

I'm thai, have been to many thai restaurant and have eaten authentic meals before. I'm not sure what that soup they serve as an appetizer was for but it was waay too sweet. While I was there another customer sent it back because it was too sweet. As far as the red curry goes it was pretty but wasn't fantastic. It's still on the sweeter side. I don't know what it is with this place and their over use of sugar but they need to tone it down. read more

SO BAD!! I paid almost $20 for a To Go dinner I couldn't eat. The spring rolls were fresh and hot, stuffed mainly with cabbage - like deep fried coleslaw. With a good dipping sauce. The Drunken Noodle however - remember that time you ate too much Chef Boyardee then spent the whole night throwing it up? THAT. The first flavor ... ketchup. Strong, canned tomato flavor. The chicken in it managed to be overdone and dry, yet also somehow chewy. The veggies in it were all underdone, and that canned ketchup flavor just wouldn't quit. I threw away 1/2, which I have NEVER done to Thai food, but I'm not sure this food qualifies. I'm not saying it was bad, I'm saying it was the second worst meal I've ever eaten. I'm contemplating mailing it back and requesting a refund. Blech read more

Easily the least spicy Asian food I've had, just not good. I'm guessing the vegetables and meat came from Sysco, that's what it tasted like. Just like getting an "Asian bowl" at some sporting event, horrible. Could only finish a few bites before my stomach wouldn't let me go any further, had beer for dinner that night. Thought about giving the rest to my dog, but I didn't want to kill him. People there were pretty rude too, very slow service and they all seemed like they didn't want to be there. Understandable considering they probably get free leftovers and spend most of their time in the restroom, but it was four hours before closing... read more

Buddha Cafe has the best green curry in the world hands down! I have lived in LA and NY and eaten at tons and tons of Thai places and Buddha is just miles above the rest. I usually just order delivery or takeout so I can't comment on the service or ambiance, but as far as taste and quality go, you can't find better. I order the curry mild (1 on the 1-5 scale) and it is still delicious. If super spicy is your thing, have no fear, they can make it hot as well. My only complaint is that they don't offer mango sticky rice, my favorite Thai dessert. Oh well. . . read more

Well, I went there with no expectations and found the actual restaurant a bit tacky, but the great food made up for it. I had the green curry and it was very tasty. Other people I was with liked what they had and my Mom went last week and had good things to say about the food. read more

Came into reception and waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged. They were NOT busy 5 customers inside and a table of 4 outside. Never got seated although waiter had time to chat-up solo female dinner for the whole time I stood at reception. Bar tender was doing something with the cash register and never looked up to see if anyone was waiting to be seated. Restaurant apparently is so good it does not need hospitality. I left, and still no one noticed. UHG! read more
