Crispy wontons filled with cream cheese, chives and finely chopped pineapple and served with a sweet chili sauce. For our main courses, we ordered Garlic fried rice with chicken and Crispy chicken. Both were enough for two people to share by themselves and share we did. The chicken was in this delicate breading with a slightly sweet, spicy sauce. Crispy and just the right amount of heat. The rice was also delicious with lots of garlic. Patrons are welcome to byob for a small fee. So next time you are in the mood for Thai, take a ride to the west side and enjoy the atmosphere and hospitality at Buddha Barn. You will be happy you did.

Absolute Disaster of a Dinner. Left with a Hungry Child. We…read morewere a nice start as we got seated quickly. The place look clean. We sat down around 7:10 PM for dinner. What started out as a warm welcome turned into one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. First, I asked if they had regular Thai tea since it's a Thai restaurant, but I don't see it on the menu. The waitress said yes, but then brought out a "Lemonade Thai Tea" without specifying that beforehand, and like " yeah, we have lemonade Thai tea" The biggest issue was the spice levels and total disregard for basic order accuracy: * Spice Mix-Up: We asked about spice levels and were told anything over 5 is really spicy. I ordered the 3 Yum (Level 7), my boyfriend ordered Pad Thai (Level 2), and my daughter ordered C U Noodle (Level 1). When the food arrived, the spice levels were completely mixed up. My boyfriend got my Level 7 on his Pad Thai, my Level 7 dish had no heat (and was dry and bland), and my daughter's "Level 1" noodles came out way too spicy for a child to eat. When we brought this up, the waiter dismissed us, claiming the "color level looked right" based on his experience, and just brought out a dish of chili flakes for me. * Neglecting a Kid's Order: Because her noodles were far too spicy, we tried to reorder a plain Pad Thai (Level 0, no egg) for her. The waiter agreed, but brought back the exact same original dish we sent away. After sending it back again, the third attempt was still spicy and still had egg in it. At that point, we just asked for the check and left. My boyfriend could barely eat his overwhelmingly spicy dish, my food was unpalatable, and my poor child had to go home completely hungry after 8:00 PM and eat frozen food at 9:00 PM. To top it off, while the waiter attempted to act polite on the surface, his annoyed tone and passive-aggressive attitude were impossible to miss. Terrible food execution, zero attention to detail, and disappointing service. We will not be returning.

It's in a convenient location located in the mall parking lot next to one of their entrances and Nordstrom. So you could be at work or shopping, and take a break to go have lunch or dinner. I went for lunch, which seems to be a slower time compared to going for dinner. There was no wait, but there was a steady flow of customers.

They did have one or two carry out orders. The Fried wonton appetizer was excellent, The rest of the food was good, not great. My wife's noodles with shrimp was good. But my szeschuan scallops were only OK, but not great. The price was very good and the service was as well. But with no other customers, I would expect good service. We had plenty of food and both took home 1/2 of the meal. They do not serve alcohol, and that may be an issue for some. There were several televisions on with one having the volume up loud enough for us to hear. It was tuned to a news station. Neither of us care to have a television on when eating. It is unfortunate that the neighborhood has deteriorated over the years. That may hurt them. There was a group of us, friends, that used to eat there around 30 to 40 years ago when they had huge crowds of customers. Not so now. The building is in need of a major do over. I do not know how long the restaurant was closed, and the building shows the lack of attention. The 3 star rating is due to the condition of the building and parking lot. The food was easily a 4 star. All in all it was a good meal and served relatively quickly.
