This is a tough review to write as I do enjoy their food but I am no longer going to support this business. I've been ordering food from here minimum once a week, sometimes twice for the last 3 months since I've move into this neighborhood. This past Saturday I ordered takeout for my family and friend who was in town. As I'm walking into the business to pick up my food, I come across their sign posted outside of their door that reads "free Thai tea with every takeout order or dine in". I've walked pass this sign for the last 3 months and every time I've tried to call in the order and request this promotion or the free spring roll promotion they always tell me they don't have it. That's fine I guess, I never cared too much to follow up on this. However, on this particular day My wife really wanted this thai tea. So upon picking up our order my wife asks if we can get this promotion. The manager working proceeds to tell us that it's for dine in only and when we pushed back and told her that's not what the sign reads. The manager proceeds to walk outside read the sign with her hands on her hip and then picks the sign up and brings it back in walking pass my wife with a smirk. The kind of smirk that is intended to piss you off and make a point that she's doing this to show you her dislike in what we requested. The audacity of this manager to treat customers this way is unacceptable. They literally see us come in to pick up food weekly and to treat us this way just left a terrible lasting impression that I haven't gotten over. So much to where I'm writing this review two days after as I reheat my leftovers. I choose to support your small business because I think it's important that we support businesses who deserve it. However, there's another Thai restaurant LITERALLY one light away that I will happily give my business to. I truly hope the owners and managers read this post so they know that it's not ok to treat your customers this way. At the end of the day there's a million Thai restaurants in the northern Virginia area. Tasty food isn't the only thing that's required. You also have to have good customer service. read more

I thought this place was pretty decent - they have your standard Thai noodles, appetizers, and curries. The restaurant is pretty small and seems to do a lot of delivery and take-out, but we ate inside. The tables and chairs were not super clean (they don't seem to do a great job wiping them down in between customers) but I survived. We got the pad see ew, which had broccoli and chicken. They had run out of the wide noodles, so they substituted in the thin rice noodles instead. The sauce was pretty good but a tad bit on the salty side. The broccoli and chicken were a little on the skimpy side, I wish there was a little more broccoli in there. The red curry (Panang) was really good and I'd definitely get this again. I liked the chicken, the vegetables, and the curry sauce was spicy (we ordered mild, and the level of spiciness was perfect for us). I would recommend the curries. Overall, a decent place for a quick meal, generous portions and good Thai food. Not the best I've ever had, but certainly still better than average. I wouldn't come here over and over, but if I was craving Thai food and in the area, I would come here. read more

**This review is based solely on the takeout/delivery aspect** When I visit my mom for lunch at work. This is our go-to Thai Restaurant delivery. They are pretty fast as far as delivery and everything is always so delicious! My favorite thing to order is pad Thai with chicken and steamed vegetables with tofu. I like both versions of the pad Thai (spicy and regular). However the spicy version is really hot but it's an enjoyable and flavorful spice. As for the steam vegetables and tofu I normally order it with a ginger and garlic sauce/broth. The broth is super delicious and very flavorful. Sometimes broths can be overly salty and this leads to the flavors getting muddled or overshadowed by the salt. But they manage to balance all the flavors together without making the broth extremely salty, I respect that a lot! The broth is tasty enough to eat by itself because it comes with peppers, onions and mushrooms in it. As for that pad Thai it's very delicious and you really can taste the tamarind and fish sauce they used in the dish. My only critique is I wish there's some more texture to it. They do add crushed peanuts but because they sat in the to-go container they softened because of the steam. Also not a big fan of the lime being mostly yellow, I don't know if I should have been concerned or not. Lastly I wish they garnished the pad Thai with green onions or cilantro to really brighten up the dish or add some color. Overall despite some minor critiques, this is probably the best pad Thai I've had in a while. The last thing we got was the fried calamari. I'm not sure how the texture of calamari is suppose to be. But it was chew and had good flavor. I especially love the sauce it comes with. It's like a mildly spiced sweet and sour sauce. It's compliments the calamari very well. If you what good Thai food I suggest you give this place a try. read more

Baba and Kulan are lifesavers! I placed my order right around 10pm (restaurant closes at 10:30pm) and unfortunately my Grubhub app didn't work nor did my apple pay app. They waited patiently for my apps to work and offered alternative solutions. This is all to say how important customer service is and these two went above and beyond, on a busy night, right at closing time, to make sure their customer was satisfied! Oh and the drunken noodle with mango sticky rice is phenomenal! Great taste, great portion and at a great price! read more

This is my favorite Thai place. I go here at least twice a month and often get take out. Their sun dried beef is to die for.

The one and only authentic Mongolian food! The Khuushuur is just delish so are the other Mongolian dishes

If you want authentic Mongolian food, it is the place to go. I was grateful to have found this place. Northern Virginia needed an authentic Mongolian restaurant.Their food is fresh and delicious. Additionally they have great Thai dishes. Servers are polite. I just wish the place was a little bigger, sometimes it gets a little crowded. read more

I don't typically leave Yelp reviews, but tonight's order was exceptional across three separate entrees and worthy of a review. Buuz Thai is consistently the best in town, and I've tried them all - their spices, attention to the dishes they're making, and passion for Thai cuisine all show in their cooking. read more

Buuz Thai Eatery - Compliments to whoever the chef was tonight! Spicy pad Thai, drunken noodle, and green curry (all chicken). - Thai Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

After getting our nails done nearby, we were hungry for dinner and found this place as we were craving Thai food. We were seated as soon as we walked in but it took a while for someone to come by with waters and to take our orders. It was not that busy inside as well. JG ordered Larb Gai, IL ordered the beef Mongolian soup and I got the Panang curry. When my friend got her soup, it tasted like salt water and the bowl was so small to assume that it was an appetizer. There were maybe three pieces of meat in it as well. We expressed our concerns to the waitress but she kept stating that that was how it was supposed to taste and did not seem accommodating at all. My friend requested that she exchange it for the drunken noodles instead, but once again she did not seem very enthusiastic about that decision at all. The other two dishes were fine, but it didn't stand out enough for us to return. Possibly if we are in the area, we may stop by to check out the Mongolian menu as other Yelpers are raving about it. read more

This small restaurant is very nice. The service is excellent, the food very good, it's clean and the prices are reasonable. The fried tofu is excellent and the ground chicken vegetable dish is very good. I'll skip the dumpling appetizer next time. The entrees are plenty. read more

My absolute favorite thai place in Arlington. Their panang curry is undefeated and unmatched by any other curry I have tried in DC. I eat here at least once a month, and I highly recommend it. They offer both takeout and dine in. I usually do take out since it's quicker. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get my meal to go. The great thing about their meals as well is that there's always enough for leftovers. You can get a hearty helping too! It's the most bang for your buck for your buck. I need to try other things on the menu, but I'm the type of the person that tends to stick to what I like once I've found it. Since I'm a regular here, I can't wait to try their other thai items! read more

BLUF: A tasty place for Thai food in Rosslyn/Courthouse for a decent price compared to other places in the DMV area! We came here on a Saturday evening, and it is tucked away as a smaller restaurant (next to an ABC liquor store, who wants to pregame?). We were greeted by friendly waitresses and seated quickly. There was a special going on for free Thai tea if you ordered Panang curry, so we ordered that and the drunken noodles. The food came out quickly and was some of the best Thai food I've had in the DMV area! The drunken noodles tasted delicious as it was not too sweet like a lot of places make their noodles. It also had the perfect ratio of meat/veggies to noodles. The Panang curry was cooked to perfection as you were able to taste the coconut and spices without the spice being too powerful. I also appreciated that they didn't give an excessive amount of rice. Given the great customer service and excellent food quality, I highly recommend coming here to try out some good Thai food. I know I'll definitely be back! P.S. Yes, the liquor store right next door was great to pick up stuff for a pregame read more

Clean, bright, friendly, yummy, easy-going, cozy, well-decorated place with authentic Mongolian dishes -- one of the very, very few outside Mongolia. Describing how this place has come to be, though, sounds like a joke -- a Mongolian married a Thai person (I'm sorry, that doesn't seem equal because 'Mongolian' with an 'a' in front of it is a noun but 'Thai' with an 'a' in front of it is still just a descriptor so ... I have to add 'person' to the end and there are some people who don't like that [in reference to another group of people, not this one] because they feel that's like saying they aren't considered to be people unless specified .... ) got married and opened a restaurant but what can I say? From what I understand, that's what happened -- I hope that isn't too super-secret to reveal in a public format such as a review! Anyway, I went for the Mongolian food -- like, obviously! I see most people go for the Thai ... and I did try a bit of that when I went with a friend and that's what he ordered and it was good and moist and fresh and flavourful and all those things you'd want it to be but it's not like I even completely know what it was, just something. I've been a few times and myself, I've always only ordered the Mongolian things. First time, I just got a milk tea and then another milk tea to go. That was very good! It was winter, and that tea is definitely nice and super-hot, filling, and kind of huge as I recall -- and last winter, unlike this one, was actually cold! Then I went back with my mom, she found it crowded which I guess it is, being kind of small with tables close together -- so the whole experience really depends on a lot of factors such as your comfort squeezing into small spaces, and that makes it less for everyone than I'd like to report it being. The food, I thought, was really good every time and the ... mixture (or perhaps clash, depending on your point of view) of decor/s in the place is pretty interesting, what with the sort of rather serene austere painting of plains and then the shiny silver sculptures, each representing its own culture .... There's plenty to look at while you wait for your food! If you like so-called 'eye candy,' you'll have lots to look at and occupy yourself with here .... read more

The food was absolutely disgusting and the meat/shrimp was clearly past expiration date. The pad Thai honestly taste like no other pad Thai dish. I only ate one bite of my meal paid and left because it was inedible. It was clear to the server/waitress that the meal wasn't up to par because she asked why my plate was full. I informed her it was disgusting as well as the shrimp tasted well past expiration. Her response was "okay". The seats aren't wide hip friendly. The inside is very unappealing as well. Overall this was a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND THE SERVICE WAS JUST AS BAD AS THE FOOD. Unfortunately I came here for my lunch break and didn't have enough time to go anywhere else so unfortunately I'm left to wait to eat in 5 hours when I get off. Needless to say this restaurant is 0/10 stars when it comes to food. 0/10 stars when it come to service and 3/10 stars when it comes to ambience. DO NOT COME HERE OR YOU WILL GET FOOD POISONING OR WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID. Learn from my experience. read more

Ordered takeout through UberEats. I got the massasman curry with chicken, spring rolls, and Thai iced tea. Through the app, I got the spring rolls BOGO, so two servings for the price of one. I paid $2 extra to get chicken spring rolls. Additionally, I had a promo code of $15 for order of $25 or more. Truthfully, I am so glad that I had this promo code because this was quite possibly the worst Thai food I've ever had. To start the spring rolls were just plain vegetable spring rolls no chicken, so not sure why I was still charged the extra $2. They didn't even taste good, were so bland. Then the curry was so unappetizing. It felt like I was eating peanut butter curry. It was so sweet and nutty, barely any of the traditional massaman curry taste. The potatoes and chicken were cooked well but the curry was just so bad. Do not recommend! And the worst part of my meal was the Thai iced tea I love Thai iced tea, this did not taste like Thai iced tea! It was just very orange and just milk with sugar. Super disappointing all around. Better luck getting Thai from elsewhere. read more

My favorite Mom&Pop. Very special gem of a Mongolian spot! No frills just authentic, delicious food at very reasonable prices. The owners are warm hearted, lovely people. Ask for Sola or Babana or your server can tell you about the Mongolian menu. I have become very friendly with the owners after several meals here each week. I cannot get enough. My wife and I are addicted to the bone broth beef soup and I haven't even worked my way thru the Thai menu yet. If you like dumplings, try Mongolian "Buuz" beef soup dumplings. Perfect! Or, enjoy the stellar Thai menu with all the crave-worthy items you would expect to find, like duck krapow. Thai iced tea and milk tea are awesome. Be careful walking by on the street you may miss this unassuming gem. If you live near courthouse Arlington, congrats, you're in luck, your day just got a lot better when you visit Thai Eatery! P.S. the location is just across troy street from Tupelo Honey. read more

We come here for the Mongolian menu! Mongolian food is real authentic and delicious. I love everything from the menu. All the dishes come out presentable and delicious. #1 dish I love is the khuushuur. They fry it perfectly with good portion of meat inside. #2 dish I love is the tsuivan. Its basically a noodle dish with beef and some veggies. The raw scallions on top adds good flavor. All of these goes so well with hot milk tea! Then go wrap it up, the raisin juice. #yummy read more

Food was okay - not very flavorful and I feel like the chicken in most of my dishes were a bit chewy or slightly odd in texture. I got the Panang Curry (witch chicken - and they were generous with how much chicken they put in), Basil Chicken Wings, Drunken Noodles, and the Honey Cashew Chicken. My husband and I didn't really care for any of the above options we got. Probably will not be back but we are happy we tried it. read more

Worst experience ever. I ordered my food at 6.30 for delivery. They said delivery will take only 40 min. I wait over an hour, my order never recieved. I called to buuz thai eatery, they said its on the way. 10 min later, I got another call saying that they switched my order with someone else. Its just crazy, i have been waiting my order almost 2 hour and they told me that driver got the wring order and new order will take another 30 minute. This place wasted my time. I could have order different place. So irresponsible, no customer service. Dont order from this place again. read more

Was excited to try Buzz Thai, but sadly disappointed with my order. Ordered the Pad Thai, Mussamum curry, and the Khuushuur. Everything has lukewarm to cold when it arrived and the potato salad that comes with the Khuushuur was not included. The Pad Thai was fine once reheated, though the portion was on the small side, particularly given the cost; the Mussamum curry was mostly onion and sauce (even the box of rice was cold, which is a feat); and the Khuushuur was completely unpalatable until re-pan fried in a skillet. After reheating, the Khuushuur was ok but not worth $20. read more

Delicious! We've only ever ordered takeout, but the food is top notch. Highly recommend.

Nothing wrong with the food here, my only complaint was the lo mein was a little bland, it seemed like it was missing something. Other than that, I thought the food was pretty good. I tried the Drunken Noodles which were filling and flavorful and the spring rolls were buy one get one free which always is a plus. Buzz Thai Eatery was open pretty late on a Friday night so it's always nice having the option available. I won't say it was spectacular, but is worth checking out if you want some Thai food. read more

My wife and I have been regulars of Thai Buzz since 2018. The reason? We live nearby, and there are very few other options in Rosslyn to get noon deep-fried food. Buzz Thai is an irregular restaurant, where the same dish on different days can be very good or very mediocre. At least we have never had it very bad, thus we tend to give it another try. My wife recommends the Pad Thai and the lab fried gyosas. I would recommend to stay away from the minced chicken platters. read more

Ordered food and it tasted old and very very salty. Not like the Thai food I normally order. The quality here was no good.

Zero or negative stars. The driver was an arrogant kid. He called me and asked , in his own words " come get your food". I'm instructed him to wait for the building door to be used and get in then deliver to the apartment unit. In two minutes he came up and was rude. I asked for his name and "Brian" needs training before working. Now the food quality was poor. It ended up in the trash and Yelp / Grub Hub refunded me. The main issue is the same delivery guy called to harass me! Please stay away of the restaurant. read more

Second time coming here whenever I come visit DC. The Pad See Ew is delicious! I got it with tofu. The fried tofu itself was disappointing since I prefer just the outside of it to be fried and not literally fried it until it's hollow inside. Thai Tea hit the spot. I would come here again. read more

Like most places at this point, I saw it on Yelp, bookmarked it and waiting for an opportunity. One day, I wasn't too far away so I made my way over. I arrived shortly after opening and I planned on dining-in but the décor was much more cuter than I expected. I was thinking this was more a fast-casual place but it wasn't. I decided that I would just grab my order to-go, I did need to get on with life. I had checked out the menu beforehand but I there was a sandwich board outfront and a sign indoors advertising a lunch special for a Green Curry with a free Thai Iced Tea. That is what I settled on; Tofu Green Curry, my free Thai Iced Tea and Curry Puffs just cause. It didn't take too long for the food be ready. And listen..... I was expecting them to skimp on the portions since I was cheap on the lunch special flow, they didn't. I enjoyed my Green Curry a lot. The Tofu was well prepared and I loved the amount of veggies. The Curry Puff were amazing and it was four of them, John, Paul, George and Ringo. Yes! The Thai Iced Tea was sweet sweet so I just waited until some of the ice melted and that made that better. I would skip that again but everything else was more than worth it. read more

I got a flier for Thai Eatery and promptly ignored it until my friend suggested going there for dinner. It's actually called Buzz Thai Eatery and actually has both Thai and Mongolian food. We shared the Mongolian dumplings for an appetizer which I would highly recommend--probably the best part of the meal. I got the Mongolian beef soup which was just ok--it was pretty oil and the meat a bit fatty, so I don't think I'd order it again. Also compared to other dishes the portion was pretty small and it took a long time to come out. My friends got some Thai dishes and enjoyed them but didn't think they were anything too special. I'd probably consider ordering delivery from Buuz especially the Mongolian dumplings, but it's not worth a separate visit. read more

My second visit to Buzz Thai Eatery. The service was slow, average, strange, unfriendly, and inattentive. The server didn't care to come back to ask my table if i needed anything or if the food was okay. I guess they were so busy packing up all the to-go orders. I wonder if that is the case that the service is horrible that no one wants to dine in? The restaurant was awfully empty, but only my table. I had to ask the server several times what I needed. The food was average, not great like last time. Highlight of the night was when i saw the bill. The price wasn't the same as how they stated on the menu. Everything is going up from $1-$3. Not a quarter increase if you wonder. When I asked the server, she said that was their old menu. The entire time I was there -from the time I sat down at the table to order food to the time I finished my meal and got the bill from the server I didn't get informed if the price has been increased. I didn't see any notes on the menu saying price has been increased either. I felt like I was being robbed and got scammed. I will not recommend and return to this restaurant for their business ethics. I wish i could give them a minus. read more

I have stopped ordering take out from here since their organization leaves something to be desired. Multiple times I have gone I have asked for my food, they say they are cooking it, 10-20 minutes goes by, someone else asks what I am waiting on, looks around frantically and then it becomes clear they never saw the order. Then they start cooking it. read more

Very good and quick service. Pad Thai was not very spicy which is how I like it. Portions a little on the smaller size.

Quality of food is OK at best. Hardly any chicken in chicken-based dishes. Curries are hit and miss, Massaman curry had very little potato. Staff is not friendly-don't greet you, don't say thank you. There are great restaurants in the area, this is not one of them. read more

I love this place. I love it for takeout and I also love it for dining in. The food is always super hot, tastes fresh and delicious, flavorful. Everything you'd want in a quick visit for Thai food. Also they have really good Thai iced tea. My favorite item is drunken noodles with chicken. Their steamed veggies side is also very good and nice sized. The chicken satay appetizer is also delicious and comes with two sauces - one peanut based and other vinegar based. Highly recommend! read more

I really am beyond pissed off as usual place that advertised on Fing yelp open till 2am lies!!!! Against my better judgement I decided to drive from work to this Thai eatery. I went with two other people there was some ridiculous couple with their dog tied to the dog ordering food the staff nearly jumped out of their skins when we walked in. The woman did not even ask if we wanted to order but they were closed. Fuck this place fuck Rosslyn it's a dorm for children. I am never coming back here read more

Pros: reasonable prices, tasty Massaman curry, fragrant rice, clean and bright interior with nice staff. Con: The Tom Kha Gai, my go-to dish, was overpoweringly sweet. I ended up picking out the chicken and mushrooms and leaving all of the broth behind. On the plus side, I suppose this will force me to branch out and explore other facets of Thai cuisine! read more

Excellent food and incredible service. As a vegetarian I'm always skeptical to eat food at Thai restaurants because most curries tend to have shrimp paste/fish sauce. What I love about Buuz is that 1) the servers have excellent knowledge of the menu and ingredients 2) an excellent selection for vegetarian/nut-free eaters 3) warm service. I intend to become a frequenter -- come here and play board games (that I bring) while eating. I'm a huge fan of the veggie gyoza and basil fried rice! Quick tip: The restaurant does not take reservations and is rather small so can get very packed on weekdays! read more
