    Tom Yum Shrimp
    FarFar C.

    I love their authentic Thai Green curry so much. This time I have mango curry and tom yum soup. The big fat melting mango trunk completed the meal. I'm coming back soon!

    We visited Little Buddy for the second time and wow, still great as it was the first time around. It's a nice little cozy spot in Stamford with great tasty Thai food, great prices and superb service. We had the steamed chicken dumplings which were absolutely delicious. It's small inside but nice and clean with Asian decor. There's limited amount of space so it can be noisy depending on who's sitting next to you. However we definitely recommend checking out Little Budda.

    Pad Chinese broccoli with chicken was delicious! Full of flavor, lots of veggies and huge portion.. green curry with beef is the best one I've ever had. Loaded with meat, bamboo shoots, zucchini and chinese eggplant, very rich and extremely satisfying!

    Penang curry

    Had the penang curry lunch special. Good price and the food was very good. The curry had plenty of meat (I chose chicken). Definitely not skimping there! The curry comes with rice.

    Im from out of state, but I've ordered from little buddha a few times now when ive been in town! Last night a friend and I both ordered pad see ew for dinner. We were hoping for delivery, but the time was quoted about an hour, so we opted to just pick it up- in which the food would be ready 20 minutes after we ordered. I'm happy we did this- the food was hot and ready when we arrived! The food itself was DELICIOUS. Flavors were on point, and the noodles were cooked wonderfully. I added shrimp to my meal and my friend added tofu. Both were very tasty. All in all, it was a GREAT dinner and I will return again in the future!

    Roti canai

    I have only ordered takeout from Little Buddha and it will likely stay that way, given how tiny the restaurant is and how close in proximity the tables are to the greasy-smelling kitchen. Although I have had much better and more authentic Thai food, their food is above Stamford standards and hence the reason why I continue to order from here when stuck in this city. I usually go for the Thai boat beef noodle soup, a rather pricey option for its ingredients, but it is one of the better noodle soups I've had in Stamford. I do like the fact that they are generous with the beef. I've also tried the roti canai and papaya salad, which were mediocre, but satisfies ones cravings. The same can be said about the pad thai, pad see-ew, drunken noodles and the shrimp laksa noodle soup. If you are looking for some authentic Thai food, don't order from here. If you are from Stamford and not picky about the authenticity of food, then try Little Buddha.

    Mecha Noodle Bar - Spicy beef ramen

    I'm officially updating my previous rating because MẹCha Noodle Bar has seriously stepped things…read moreup. For anyone wondering about the name, it's pronounced "Me-uh Chah" (not "Mek-ah") and translates to "Mother and Father"--which feels fitting given how much more "soul" the food has lately. A few years back, I felt like they were missing the mark on the essentials, specifically the phở broth and the nước nắm. If you know Vietnamese food, you know those are the dealbreakers. The great news is they've clearly dialed in the recipes. I've been coming back regularly now because the flavors are finally hitting those traditional notes that are so hard to find in this part of Connecticut. My typical order: * Phở Gà (Chicken) * Phở Tái (Rare beef) * Phở Bò Viên (Beef meatballs) * Chả Giò (Fried spring rolls) -- Absolute must-order. They do have a lot of non-traditional stuff like Bao, Handrolls, and a solid Spicy Miso Ramen, and while those are actually very good, I usually stick to the Vietnamese classics since they're doing them so well now. The atmosphere is also worth mentioning. It has a really cool, organic vibe with tons of wood accents. The ceiling is covered in hundreds of 2x4s that hang down like a weeping willow canopy--it's unique and looks great in person. Pro-Tips: * Parking: Don't even bother trying to find a spot on Bedford Street; it's a nightmare. Park in the lot around the back and just use the pedestrian passage to walk through the building. * The App: If you're doing takeout, use their mobile app. It's a lifesaver on the weekends when the dining room gets slammed. So glad to have a reliable phở spot in downtown Stamford again!

    stopped by Mecha Noodle Bar on my lunch break and ordered the pho ga, adding Thai chilis and bone…read moremarrow. the prices are definitely on the higher side compared to other local, more authentic pho spots. I actually went during restaurant week, but since I ordered it to go, I didn't get to take advantage of any of the promo pricing. the ambiance is always nice at Mecha, no matter the location. Even just popping in, you can feel that trendy, laid back vibe they're known for. This was my first time trying bone marrow with my. pho, and I'll admit I thought it came mixed into the broth. Instead, you have to scoop it out of the bone yourself, it reassures you that it's fresh, but I think I might've ordered it wrong. I'd probably go with marrow oil next time for a smoother experience. The pho itself felt clean and comforting, definitely one of those meals you can enjoy a little guilt free, especially if you're feeling under the weather. Overall, it's a good option, just a bit pricey for what it is. I'd be open to coming back, especially to dine in next time during a restaurant week if I have the time.

The place is pretty small but wasn't crowded as there was only one other table dinning in during the time we were there. I'm really not a Chinese food fan, I agreed to come here because there were also Japanese items on the menu. To drink I got a bottle of cloudy sake. I ordered the money bags, even though it had no description. Money bags are a symbol of good luck and fortune, and are often eaten during special occasions, I got this to celebrate the New Lunar Year. I would compare this dumpling like fried appetizer to a spring roll, stuffed with similar ingredients plus pork. It was served with sweet and sour sauce. I also ordered the fried gyoza, I appreciated that the textured was actually crispy but the soy sauce it came with tasted like it was straight out of the container; they could have spiced it up with garlic or ginger or chives..etc. My coworker ordered the general tso. She traded me a piece of her chicken, it tasted good but those sauces are way too sweet for me, big reason why I'm not a fan, it's just not for me. At the end we were given a small plate of fruit with fortune cookies. What a nice surprise. The prices were very reasonable here. Probably the same price you would pay for fast food but better quality. If you like Chinese food, this is a good choice.
