OMG what a true gem of a restaurant!! The interior is so lovely and cozy, and the food is DELICIOUS. Definitely recommend the Khao Soi! The waitress is so kind and friendly and I really enjoyed talking to her. Absolutely loved my time here and will definitely be coming back!

Pros: Very cozy and sweet spot! Thai fried rice was a little bit oily than my usual Thai craving but still good food! SUPER friendly staffs and fast service. Great price. Very pretty vibe. Great photos! 😄😄 Overall, great experience. If you are around the area- definately recommend.
Cons: No bathroom. Space is tiny so not suitable for big parties... but perfect for 2 or 4. In my opinion.

The Buffs has, without any exaggeration, THE kindest, most hospitable restaurant staff I have ever encountered in my life- these are the warmest, most vibrant human beings who I feel extremely lucky to have crossed paths with, and I'm so glad I came to their establishment. The food was perfect too. ABSOLUTELY visit this place for wonderful vibes and exquisite Thai food! Thank you for taking such great care of me
