Buddha Asian — Restaurant in New York

Now I have to add while I gave a candid review days later after I had the time to mull over the experience. I wrote a thoughtful review and the shop instead of taking ownership of the feedback of how the experience, and the food most importantly could be better, provides half the experience to cover up their mistake and does not share the important details that would illuminate how frustrating of an experience it was - please avoid this place at all costs. It's very clear that they are unwilling to hear how they can improve and the food is certainly not good enough to deal w the experiences. This location has severly gone downhill since changing their menu and what I assume is previous ownership.

It's also worth mentioning they continue to reply generally the same things and not own the fact that they missing half of the interaction btwn us over the phone and how frustrating they made the process in trying to get reimbursed. They barely listened over the phone, I had to repeat multiple times that I was unavailable to come back to the restaurant or receive a new delivery - which is absurd that further inconveniencing me was a solution that they were banking on. Instead of owning their limitations made an already first experience terrible, but doubling down making it like its on the fault of the customer for not understanding how frustrating THEY made an experience. They are telling on themselves at this point. Caution to anyone who tries to deal with this management...

Very solid. The waitress was very nice. Had the pineapple fried rice and the pad thai. I enjoyed both far more than Ayada. Both were very flavorful. Great portion sizes. Lots of protein in each dish. Wish there were more peanuts and more lime for the pad thai and a pork option for both dishes. That would make it perfect imo.

Regardless, it's still some of the best thai food I've had.

Edit: I will ask for all of these next time!

Edit 2: Roti Canai was surprisingly good. Good chicken curry flavor, the ginger and coconut milk were not overwhelming. The paratha was so crispy and flaky. I have no idea how they did that it was great.

Edit 3: Red curry was pretty solid. Again, the ginger and coconut milk flavor was not too overwhelming. Chicken was well cooked.

Edit 4; Tried the Singaporean Fried Noodles, and it was really good. My only nitpick is that the meats (beef, eggs, shrimp) were perfectly seasoned, but the noodles were slightly undersalted. It's still really good, could be...

I am leaving this review here Seamless did not allow me to leave a rating/review on their app.

I ordered for delivery the other day and received my food on time. About 10-15 minutes later I received a call “you forgot to add a tip.” I told her I always add the appropriate tip after delivery and it would be charged to the card I ordered with. Her “oh..” and went quiet.

As anyone can attest to this, there are more careless delivery couriers than good, and the good ones deserve some and more. There was nothing wrong with their delivery man, however, I am glad they called me before I adjusted the tip.

Unfortunately, the food was bland and I will no longer order from here again and I hope they don’t solicit tips whether it’s take out, dine-in...
