If you're looking for Thai food in Leiden, Buddha's is the spot. We visited our expat friends who…read morelive there now and all four of us decided to come here on a whim on our last night in town. I wish we'd discovered it sooner! We managed to get a 4-top around 7 PM on a Wednesday night, but I would otherwise make a reservation, which you can easily do on their website. The site has a great English translation as well. Buddha's prices seemed a little steep at first, BUT they offer a 2-course and 3-course option as well as an early bird option if you're dining before 6 PM. The portions are large (by US standards) and easily shareable or you can take the leftovers home. We started out with drinks, and my friends had beers. I had a Buddha's mule, which was similar to a Moscow Mule in the US, and I really enjoyed it. One friend had the pornstar martini and I tasted hers- it was strong and sweet. The Pandan Sour was incredibly strong. I had the Choe Chi Koeng- large shrimp in spicy red curry with coconut milk, pepper, long beans, mushrooms, lemon leaves and basil leaves. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and large, and the broth was rich and spicy. I didn't eat much seafood in The Netherlands, but these shrimp were larger than the other shrimp I saw and large compared to what I'm used to in American Thai restaurants. My husband had the Phad Gee Mauw, which has three kinds of meat. The servers brought a large bowl of rice out for all of us at the table to share, and we also ordered extra as my friends were big fans of the rice. We're big fans of Thai food in the US and eat it often, but we were glad to try it in The Netherlands, and this ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. You can request spicy food here, and the food is spicier than the other dishes we had. If you visit Leiden- perhaps for the university or the museums- check out Buddha's! We were certainly impressed.

Excellent Thai food. Owned by a Thai chef who cooks legit Thai food. We had an appetizer combo, red…read moresnapper with sweet chili sauce, sautéed beef, and panang tofu. I was impressed with the fried red snapper. It was huge (even for US standards), fresh, and well prepared. Everything was also fresh and tasty. Their "very spicy" is not that spicy. I guess they have to cater to the Dutch palate - there are hardly any Asians in the city after all. In any case one can always add more chili. We were able to pay with our US chip credit card. One doesn't go to Leiden for Thai food, but you have a craving for good Thai food while in Leiden, this should hit the spot.

This was a pretty good Thai place that we decided to eat at during our day trip to Leiden. We…read morestarted off with an order of chicken satay and we were also served with complimentary shrimp chips which were really good :) Then I wound up getting a spicy green curry and asked for it to be Thai spicy. The waiter was quite funny because he said that the chefs would be happy to prepare my meal Thai spicy! It was relatively spicy and the waiter said he was proud of me at the end of the meal. Overall, it was a great meal with great service! If I could improve anything, it would probably be to make the food a little bit spicier and include a larger portion of meat, but I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area and craving some Asian food.

The food tastes amazing to my European taste buds. My favorite is Toek's choice massaman chicken. The service is fantastic, very friendly host/waiter.

They do takeout and possibly delivery though I haven't tested the latter.

The decor was tasteful, service was friendly, and the food was amazing!! The menu only included beverages and a few add-ons; other than that, there's no need to choose what you're eating. Similar to visiting someone's home, you eat whatever they're serving. They started us off with some prawn chips (which have a highly addictive flavor and a fluffy/crunchy texture), then soup, then a selection of four entrees, along with some rice. They choose the four entrees based on what fresh ingredients they have on hand that day. (If you have dietary restrictions, tell them when you arrive, they can adjust the meal accordingly.) The portions of the 4 entree sampler were quite large, I'd estimate you get 4-5 bites of each. I was approaching full after eating two of the four, but I couldn't stop eating because it was so tasty! Our four dishes were a spicy green curry with chicken, a beef stir fry, stir fried vegetables, and some deep fried white fish with sweet chili sauce. It was all spiced well and cooked to perfection, none of the meat was too dry/chewy nor were the vegetables mushy. We finished off the meal with a bowl of diced fresh mango. What a wonderful, simple treat. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Delft!

For starters, we got the chicken satay skewers and the spring rolls. Both were good, although I preferred the chicken satay because the peanut sauce was incredible. The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the flavor more than helped out in that regard. For the mains, we shared both the beef fried rice and the chicken pad thai. Be warned that are portions are absolutely gigantic, and we barely finished (this was around 6PM after we hadn't had anything to eat that day). All in all, I'd say the 2 apps and 2 entrees we got would be enough for a party of 3-4.
