I might be biased in this review because Thai food is my absolute favorite cuisine but what's good…read moreis good!!! We had noticed this place after having dinner at Red Hat and I made it known I wanted to eat here for my birthday and my birthday wish came true! The restaurant is 2 floors but the 2nd floor is where to be. They have this wonderful balcony that puts you with a beautiful backdrop for your meal. For our meal we opted for the lunch special which comes with choice of soup or salad and a classic dish entree. I got the Green Papaya Salad and Green Curry with chicken and my mother got the Kao Tum Soup and the Ginger Scallion entree with chicken. Since it was our first time here we had to also order a few more appetizers to try so we got the Chive Cake and Asian Cauliflower as well. The chive cake was lightly crispy and had a smooth chewy texture that was delightful. The cauliflower was tossed in the tangy sweet and sour sauce but still maintained its crispness on the outside and yet perfectly cooked on the inside. The green papaya salad was outstanding! I love the sourness, saltiness, nuttiness and freshness. My mouth is watering just thinking of that dish. The soup was a wonderful clear stock but tasted of the delicious aromatics it was steeped in. The green curry is always my go to and with good reason. The green coconut broth is so flavorful and a slight hint of spice that coats the chicken and vegetables perfectly. The rice is like a sponge for that delicious sauce. The ginger scallion was also soooo good. The sauce had this charred flavor that was amazing. Our drinks were also just as good as the food! My mom got the lychee Thai iced tea and I got the Tender Coconut. I was definitely not expecting to have the whole coconut in my glass so that was a fun experience! The iced tea was the best of both worlds and not too sweet. After I had finished drinking all the coconut water, they went ahead and cracked it so I could eat the coconut meat so that was a nice little dessert after a fabulous meal!

Sambal Thai & Malay was an absolute treat from start to finish! You know when you take the first…read morebite of something and immediately realize, "Oh, they know what they're doing here"? That was basically our entire meal. The Larb Kai Salad was incredibly fresh, bright, and packed with flavor--the perfect balance of savory, tangy, spicy, and refreshing. The Massaman Curry was pure comfort food: rich, creamy, beautifully spiced, and the kind of dish you just want to keep going back to for one more bite. And the Pad Lee Maow was absolutely delicious--bold, savory, perfectly seasoned, and full of that wonderful wok-fired flavor that makes the dish so addictive. What really stood out was how much flavor and care there was in everything. Nothing tasted generic or thrown together. Every dish had its own personality, and you could genuinely taste the love that went into the food. The view and ambiance were just as incredible as the meal. The atmosphere made everything feel that much more special--relaxing, beautiful, and perfect for enjoying a great meal. It's the kind of place where you want to sit, take your time, and really enjoy the whole experience. There's something special about a restaurant that can make a meal feel comforting, exciting, and memorable all at the same time, and Sambal absolutely did that for us. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try next. If you love Thai and Malaysian food--or just really, really good food--do yourself a favor and give Sambal a try. We'll definitely be back!

stopped here on our way to the airport because we had to get Chinese food before leaving New York…read more The service was excellent and the food was amazing. I loved the sesame noodles and the sesame chicken my go to Chinese food orders. I would definitely recommend going here if you want a quick place to have Chinese food before heading to the airport. The restaurant has sit down and take out options which was nice.

Stopped here for lunch recently, and we were both glad we did! Greeted and seated as we entered,…read moreimmediately. The place looks welcoming, comfortable seating and well staffed. We asked for tea - to lift the chill from outside. Flavorful jasmine tea (we were advised to let it steep for a couple of minutes). The menu has lots of interesting options - we went for the lunch specials - soup and rice included with the main dish. Wonton soup for the Honey, Hot and Sour soup for me - we usually end up tasting both so this is a good choice. Both soups were excellent! The Wonton flavorful with a good "body" with several wontons, tender wraps and tasty filling. The Hot and Sour soup deserves its own star! Delicious! Well balanced heat with lots of mushrooms and other vegetables in the flavorful bowl. The best in a long while! I chose the Sesame Chicken, the Honey, the LoMein. Both with brown rice. Good choices. Well portioned and obviously freshly made. We did share these too! We'll definitely be back!

I really enjoyed my meal here! I had the Chili Sate Noodle Soup with beef, and it was delicious…read more Was hot, comforting, refreshing, and full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. It came out fairly quickly and tasted fresh. I had ordered takeout once before and enjoyed it, but this time I decided to eat in. There was something really nice about the simple, relaxed dine-in experience and enjoying the soup fresh and hot right at the table. Definitely a meal I'd come back for! The service was pleasant as well.

First time here with family who visits this place regularly. Food is excellent!…read moreSpring rolls were so good we ordered two more orders of them. Our 7 year old had them for first time and loved them as well. My wife and I ordered the shrimp PHO each and daughter in law had the beef PHO. She gets this everytime she comes here. My son had the fried salt and pepper with the combo of shrimp and calamari. I will get that next time. All were delicious. The red wine was a good price that we ordered. Good not great. Another choice is the Vietnamese coffee my son had. Which my wife said she'll order next time as well. We will definitely be back! Great service too.

And honestly, that feeling extends to everyone there--the entire team is warm, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel like you're part of the family. Whether you're stopping in for just a drink, meeting friends, or sitting down for some of their absolutely delicious sushi, Buddha is always a great experience. The atmosphere is fun, comfortable, and inviting, and the service is exceptional. Buddha is truly a local gem--the kind of place you're lucky to have in your neighborhood. You go in for a drink or dinner and somehow always leave feeling happier than when you arrived. Juey and the whole team are a huge part of what makes this place so special. We absolutely love it and will keep coming back!

Although the food doesn't get too much flavorful you can still enjoy enough and feel that its genuinely made and home made. The fried rice and noodles are cooked perfectly. We also love the mango sticky rice! I would recommend to enhance the flavor of the pad Thai sauce and a bit more fluffiness on the rice but overall it was so good and always quiet and calm environment there even if there are customers. Nice area & dining place. And the price is incredible! ( thai tea for 3 $ in this economy??)

Run!!!! Don't walk! I wish I could actually give a food review but I cannot because I did not…read moreactually received my food via DoorDash! I sat for over a hour in a hotel lobby talking to customer service waiting for my food as the restaurant lied it was on the way. Come to find out they sent their own driver and not a subcontractor driver so there was no update on driver tracking and it randomly said delivered with no proof of delivery. Now I'm fighting DoorDash to get a refund for a $38 meal and they wanted to offer me an inconvenience refund of $14. Trust me they have no idea what I can do. They are a foolish restaurant and I would suggest you go anywhere but here if you actually want food. I will give a horrible review on every platform for wasting my time and money.

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10…read more Ambiance : 9/10 I've been here several times for their regular sushi rolls and appetizers, and they've never disappointed. This review, though, is all about their omakase experience. As always, the service was exceptional. The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like a valued guest. The only reason this wasn't a perfect 10/10 had nothing to do with the restaurant. It's a small, intimate space, and unfortunately another table had a baby who cried throughout much of the meal. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quiet omakase experience. Now for the food, the omakase was fantastic. I won't go through every course because part of the fun is the surprise, but what really stood out was the fish-to-rice ratio. Every piece was generously topped with beautifully fresh fish instead of being overloaded with rice, which I absolutely loved. Each bite was thoughtfully prepared, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. Dessert was another pleasant surprise. Instead of the usual ending you get at many sushi restaurants, they served matcha ice cream topped with sweet red bean paste and pieces of mochi. It was unique, refreshing, and the perfect finish to the meal. Overall, I'll definitely continue coming back, not just for the omakase, but for their regular menu as well. If you're an omakase fan or looking for a quality sushi experience without breaking the bank, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

We love umami. Their fish is reliably fresh, the service warm and welcoming and the taste…read more.. We've been to Nobu, Sugarfish and the others. Umami is a diamond in the rough. Pay attention to the 5 star reviews. Those are legit. We go in person because they often give us complimentary appetizers, which have included blue fin, king salmon and others in creative and delicious arrangements. Our favorite menu items include: sushi deluxe, tricolor sushi, heat roll. However, the sashimi is the best part- fatty tuna, yellowtail and salmon are the best. And they've converted me on fluke and kingfish.

I've been to this restaurant twice. The first time was definitely a five-star experience. Tonight,…read moreI'd give it closer to four stars. The service was also very slow and felt a little disorganized, with several different waiters serving our table throughout the evening. Overall, we still enjoyed our meal, but the experience wasn't quite as good as our first visit. The mushroom noodle dish was flavorful, but not quite as good as I remembered from our previous visit. The same was true for the salmon crispy rice and supreme rice--both were good, but didn't quite live up to the quality as our last visit.
