It’s crazy to think I’ve been coming here for almost 20 years. They never skip a beat! Every dish is perfection and seeing the same friendly faces is the cherry on top.
The Gold standard for dining out.
The food, service, and consistency here are truly immaculate. I’ve been coming for years, and they never disappoint. They have mastered every single dish on the menu, delivering the exact same high level quality no matter what day or time you visit.
Getting a table can take up to 1.5 hours during peak times, and takeout orders can take up to an hour. Still, it is well worth every minute.

Buddha Ruksa is a popular Thai restaurant in West Seattle, known for its delicious food and lively atmosphere. The garlic fried chicken is a standout dish, and other customer favorites include the Thai Fried Rice, Phad Thai, Crispy Garlic Chicken, and Phad See Iew. The Red Curry and Cashew Chicken are also popular choices. Customers praise the food's flavor and freshness, with spring rolls described as fresh and the curry as spicy and creamy. The Crispy Garlic Chicken is especially loved for staying crispy even after being stored in the fridge. The restaurant offers great food and drinks, though it can get busy, making it loud and sometimes hard to hear conversations. Service can be slow, with some tables waiting over 20 minutes before being attended to, but food generally arrives quickly once ordered. Many customers prefer to order takeout to avoid wait times, as the food remains crunchy and tasty even after a 15-minute drive. Calling ahead for reservations is recommended, especially during busy times.
