This place has been hit and miss. It was miss for quite a while, then thought I'd try it again last year and it was good. Ordered Pho take out a couple of times and it was very good. Ordered Pho take out on Friday and they are back to a big miss! Meatballs were actually western style spaghetti meatballs instead of traditional Vietnamese meatballs. Sorry, this just didn't work! Shrimp were tiny pieces too compared to the last time I ordered from here last fall. I'm going to pass...read full review

The Grand Buddha Bistro offers flavorful meals like Buddha Pho and Pad Thai, along with fresh shrimp Spring Rolls. This bistro is known for its generous portions and helpful servers. Recent reviews highlight that the food can be fantastic, with some noting the phenomenal quality during lunch and praising the awesome Bubble teas, which many diners loved. The red curry chicken is described as absolutely delicious, with the right amount of spice and rich flavor. The pork spring rolls are also praised for being crispy and flavorful. While there are mentions of a decline in decor, with comments about dated elements like Christmas bows on lamps and fake flowers, the atmosphere is generally regarded as good. Some diners experienced issues like cold noodles and wings lacking seasoning, but many appreciate the in-house lemongrass sauce on the spring rolls and the perfectly balanced green curry. The service is noted to be fast and attentive, with servers showing excellent knowledge of the menu. Despite some challenges, the restaurant remains a popular choice for Thai cuisine in Castlegar and the Kootenays, with diners recommending it as a must-visit spot.
