Buddha Thai Bistro -- 16 Years of Flavor, Family & Thai Hospitality!…read more We had such a fun evening celebrating Buddha Thai Bistro's 16th anniversary, and you could feel the excitement as soon as we walked in. The celebration was festive, the drinks were flowing, and there was a great selection of appetizers to enjoy. As a foodie, I really appreciate a restaurant that knows how to bring bold Thai flavors to the table while still keeping the food approachable. Buddha Thai does a nice job putting its own creative spin on traditional favorites. Their menu includes everything from the award-winning Pad Thai and Drunk Man Noodles to Khao Soi and Thai street food specialties. The presentation is also part of the experience. There's something about a beautifully prepared Thai dish with layers of aromatic herbs, spices, sauces, and textures that gets your taste buds going before you even take that first bite. I also like that the menu has plenty of choices for different dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan dishes such as Green Curry and Hawaiian Fried Rice. It's nice when plant-based options are treated as flavorful dishes of their own rather than an afterthought. The atmosphere adds to the experience too. The exposed brick, hanging silks, cozy setting, and relaxed vibe give the restaurant plenty of personality. Add in the warm, family-owned hospitality, and it's easy to understand why this Jacksonville Beach spot has been around for 16 years. Congratulations to the entire Buddha Thai Bistro family on 16 years! It was a wonderful celebration, and a great reminder of how much we appreciate locally owned restaurants that bring good food, personality, and community together.

From the pictures posted, it looked delicious, but when I received my order, the broth tasted extremely salty and almost like it was mostly oil. The chicken was also ground rather than sliced like it was shown in the picture, and there was barely any chicken in the soup. The rest of the bowl was mostly rice. I was really looking forward to my meal because everything I've had from here has always been delicious, but something was definitely off today. Even the appetizer we usually get didn't taste the same.

We stopped by for takeout on a Sunday night, and the host behind the counter was nothing but sweet. We tried a red curry with veggies and a jungle curry with chicken, and both were very tasty. The jungle curry almost reminded me of a soup, with clear flavorful broth and lots of veggies. The spice was just right at a level 4, cleared the sinuses without making me cry - ideal haha. Anyway, ambiance of the place is nice but no one was there on a Sunday night, but a great spot for takeout. Thankfully not too far from home. Can't wait to try out more!

A few tables were occupied upon arrival, we were directed to an empty table and awaited our server. Initially- taking our order was slow and then my soup came out, but my friends appetizer didn't come until after our lunch arrived- and she was hungry and on her lunch break. Time was a priority for us & there wasn't much rush. I loved the wonton soup- great flavor, loved the bean sprouts in it. I took a little home so John could try. The Pad see ew was also very flavorful! Normally it comes with carrots- but food allergy. I will give them another try just for the foodie in me. Hmmm- the Thai Tea was VERY yummy too.

The servers were attentive and friendly. I came in alone and realized I'd left my wallet behind. When I asked if they accepted tap-to-pay, they were happy to accommodate me. Definitely worth the 20min wait--even on a Tuesday night at 11 PM!

And if you're not comfortable with being grabbed by your arm by one of "The Girls!" to be moved out of an obviously overcrowded aisle, DONT GO! Also you will get comforted, dismissed and talked down by what I'm only to assume, was the the owner; lates 50s white woman with white tank and an old cowboy hat & her overly buff older dude! The kicker, I was told, " I must not be from the "area" because folks here are ok with being touched and displaced by "The Girls!". So we left and will never return; told my finance that spot was definitely off our bar crawl for the wedding! Just upsetting that folks still act so pretentious and rude to people they don't even know! I felt targeted both racially and because of my sexual orientation. IT A LOCALS ONLY HANG OUT PERIOD! JUST WALK ON OVER TO "NO NAME" and thank me later!

But because we didn't order through DoorDash for the order, we were directed to Wingstop to correct directly. They refused to recook or refund our order, the District Manager also refused insisting DoorDash had to fix. We tried to show them in person how the DoorDash screen would send us to their phone number for resolution. They got our $60 but we only received 10 wings/fries which we returned to the store. Wingstop should take care of their customers and hold DoorDash accountable themselves.
