    Food tastes...ok, but most things are gone on their menu. To open a restaurant one really needs to be prepared.

    Taylor A.

    Probably 3.5 stars but we'll round up :) I stopped by on a weekday in the early evening. It wasn't busy -- the staff was attentive and the service was prompt. It's a casual spot, very accessible if you're hopping off the metro, and there's plenty of seating indoors. I believe I ordered the Ka Pow Perfect and Drunken Noodle with chicken and they were running a promotion with free spring rolls. The portions were delightfully massive for the price point (I paid $43 including 20% tip). I had some pieces of fried chicken that turned me off the entree, so I'd go for a different protein if I were to try the dish again. It wasn't aggressively spicy so you really don't have to be cautious when choosing the spice level. For the drunken noodles, the sheer (over)size of the noodles made it a bit less enjoyable, but the flavor was great. I think this is a great spot for a convenient and no frills, solid meal.

    Dumplings and soup with clear glass noodles, potatos, and meat

    We only ordered from their Mongolian menu, and they had three dishes available that day. I think their Mongolian food is authentic, and their servers were also Mongolian. If you want to try real Mongolian food in the NOVA/DC area, come here! We ordered their fried dumplings and steamed. Both have meat and onions, but it's mainly meat. I prefer the deep fried one (which is flat and kinda shaped like an empanada). It was delicious! The steamed one tastes similar to traditional Chinese dumplings, but came with sweet cabbage salad in the middle. I think the soup was my favorite. It came with man tou or steamed plain buns. The meat was very tender and the soup was flavorful, especially for someone who doesn't usually like soup. There was a good proportion of veggies vs. meat, unlike the dumplings. For drinks, we ordered milk tea which came with quinoa at the bottom. This is NOT like your traditional Taiwanese milk tea. This tastes mainly like warm milk but also contains black tea. The quinoa at the bottom was a nice treat. For some reason, this drink took the longest to come out. If you want to try something new, I'd recommend getting this. Apparently Mongolians usually put dried meat in this drink, but this place doesn't offer that option.

    Happy to discover this restaurant by Wilson near Rhodeside and Oasis Nail Salon. Just found out from the owner they've been in business for 7 years! It was recently recommended by someone who was Mongolian so I had to try it. We ordered the Bantan - Bone broth ( known for centuries to have many health benefits and healing properties) Porridge and Buuz dumplings. The porridge was super flavorful (no salty taste) and had lots of fresh thinly sliced beef. Perfect for a cold day or to nurse a cold. The famous beef dumplings -Buuz were fresh and very tasty. The order takes 20 minutes as it's made fresh. I asked for chili and got a wonderful chilli paste to go with it. The lightly pickled vegetables were perfect pairing with the dumplings. Everything was cooked fresh like home style. Will definitely come back again to try the Thai dishes which looked amazing.

    I discovered this place after parking in front of it to go to Tupelo Honey for brunch. Because it was super crowded, plan B for Buzz Thai Ratery became our choice for lunch, Small, intimate, clean and modern decor with earth tone colors of brown and green caught our attention as soon as we came in. We got a window seat with a table for four. We were greeted right away and given a colorful menu to review. My daughter and I love Thai tea and we enjoyed ours. My husband was happy to see Thai iced coffee as a choice and said it was so good. E started with some soup and appetizers and shared their fried rice with the addition of chicken. The crab Rangoon was my fave but everything was flavorful.

    I've visited this restaurant many times. There aren't a lot of Mongolian restaurants in this area so that limits one's choices. The food is good. Mongolian food is not a complex cuisine. It's very simple and direct. Salt, pepper, onions and garlic. Buuz Thai does this well but with some caveats. Service: terrible. The waiting staff are rude and don't seem to have a lot of experience. I've experienced this with at least 4 different staff members. Deceptive pricing: Although the pricing issue is a small monetary amount, it is not posted anywhere in the restaurant. All menus available in restaurant do not show the prices they charged me. The wait staff never verbally alerted me of price differences and when I asked to speak with the owner or manager on staff I was told no one was available to speak with me on the matter. I don't expect employees to take accountability but one staff members response was "no one has complained about the prices before". ****important**** Gratuity is meant for tipped employees. The wait staff don't receive any gratuity because the management takes it all. It's my understanding that the wait staff are hourly workers. So please keep in mind if you decide to leave a tip for good service, the person that you intend to tip will not receive it, but it will instead go straight to the management/ownership. DECEPTIVE!!!! I will not return to Buuz Thai ever again.

    Papaya Salad
    Angela C.

    Great food and service! I like that it's a cute little restaurant with reliably great Thai food. My papaya salad and pad Thai were both very flavorful. I have ordered takeout from Buuz Thai and didn't think it was quite as flavorful so I'd recommend dinning in.

    Pad Thai with Chicken - a simple yet tasty option
    Arie P.

    A good neighborhood Thai restaurant for both takeout and in-store dining, with several classic options across the menu. -- After a long week, my significant other and I came here for a nice, simple dinner for two. We have ordered DoorDash from here a few times prior, and always had solid experiences, but never dined in before. Most of the business they receive does appear to be takeout and delivery, and there were a lot of people coming in and out. There were still a few parties seated in the small eating area, both families and couples, and the tables and interior was certainly more than nice enough. Our service was friendly and prompt, and easy to get ahold of even though she was also running takeout orders. While the menu was expansive, we kept it simple and ordered off the Thai menu. We had Chicken Spring Rolls for the table, and I ordered for myself Chicken Pad Thai and Spring Rolls (my significant other ordered Curry). The food came out fast. The Spring Rolls were first - they were very simple, yet good. The Pad Thai was a sizable portion, and was everything I needed and dreamed of after a long week. I would have ideally liked it to be a bit spicier and pack a bit more of a punch flavor wise, but I also knew what to expect ordering one of the more 'common' dishes on the menu. Overall a very good experience, and a restaurant I am happy to continue to support both in person and for takeout. In the future, I would be very curious to try their Mongolian Menu, or the additional entrees off the Thai menu.

The happy hour deals are fantastic and offer great value for the quality of the food. The service was exceptional as well.

The quality of the meat and broths was excellent, and everything else, from the tofu and fresh vegetables to the sauce bar, was well-stocked and tasted fresh. You can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for delicious hot pot, outstanding service, and great value.

As the name of this restaurant implies - the meats are the star of the show here. The self-serve veggie and noodle station leaves a bit to be desired - not the greatest selection - but sufficient for a hit of spinach or broccoli. I never see enoki mushrooms or crown daisy (Tong Ho) here - disappointing. Also, the floor gets unreasonably greasy to walk on about halfway through the day and stays that way for the rest of the night, so tread carefully! All of the meats on the standard AYCE menu are good/great quality. This is one of the only hot pots that does not require dipping sauce (even though I always concoct one anyways) because the broth is so permeating and flavorful. Best standard lamb I've ever had. Looking forward to trying the specialty lamb menu someday. So far it has been hard to resist the $21 midday weekday AYCE special, and the even better $17 "late night" AYCE special. This'll keep you coming back!

Now, their kung pao tofu is delicious, and the vegetarian fried rice is tasty. For each dish they give you a tiny box of white rice.

Take out orders come in a fancy durable reusable bag (a plus) and fancily packaged utensils. The experience feels like a feast. Bourbon chicken is good but wow the chunks are so huge, making them difficult to eat with chopsticks. Typically in Chinese cuisine, chicken is cut to smaller bite-sized pieces to make it intuitive for chopstick users. Bourbon chicken is heavily breaded (just FYI) Soup dumplings still good as usual; their lamb dumplings are also great.

Loved the flakiness of the dough and subtle sweetness of the veggies. - Korma chop (fried noodles with chives, onions, red bell peppers, and tofu): Noodles had a nice chewy texture. I got the Hot spice level and wish I'd gone down a level to get a better taste of the dish's original sauce. - Mango doghap: Reminded me of mango lassi. Not too sweet and pleasantly tangy. The desserts, though, were maybe my favorite part of the meal. All had the perfect amount of sweetness: - Kazandibi (Turkish milk pudding with a caramelized, slightly burnt bottom layer): Really liked this pudding. - Honey cake: Ugh the honey with the soft cake with the whipped cream = actual heaven. - Dolan cake (Homemade puffed pastry with Walnuts, Buttery cream filling, and a Chocolate drizzle): Also really good! Very different than the other desserts given the crunchiness and butteriness from the puff pastry and walnuts. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is really nice, I enjoyed viewing the traditional art pieces. Also, super convenient because it's literally right next to the Red metro line. 10/10 would recommend!
