Party of four had three curry dished and a beef noodle dish. All were very good and the spice levels were as described. We had 3, 4, and 5 and all were happy. Of the appetizers, the calamari was different and very good. Looked like onion rings but tasted like excellent calamari. The wine list is pretty broad and we... More

The interior is really attractive with tables well spaced. Very pleasing. The bartender was crackerjack and the prices reasonable. The menu is varied. The chicken satay and eggplant curry were excellent, and every dish coming out of the kitchen was presented with artistic flair. I would definitely go back. It was stylish and excellent.

I was in the restaurant recently for dinner and ordered shrimp with red curry. The waitress was very pleasant and after a while asked if everything was okay. I said it was fine except there were only (3) shrimp. I had put the tails aside since I don't eat them like some folks. I mentioned that it was odd because... More

We waited for five minutes to be seated. Then after 15 minutes went by without any service. We left. Went down to a delightful Thai restaurant right down the street named the New Siam Thai and Wine. Go there. The food and service is great at New Si. Don't waste valuable time at Buddas Belly.

The decor left a lot to be desired.It appeared old and there were large spots on the carpet. Our server was the only bright spot. She was pleasant and did a good job. It appeared that she was the only server.... More

Service was a little off tonight, new waitress first week there. Empty glasses, requests made with no results, etc, however, all were handled with apologies and quickly resolved. The food was EXCELLENT, as always. Went with friends and my husband, everyone ordering something different and sharing, family style. I had the Beef Kra Pow with a 3 star heat rating... More
