"We could scream from the rooftops about Buddha Ruksa’s sticky garlic fried chicken. Unfortunately, we’d be interrupted by a bunch of other people also on rooftops screaming about it. All you need is one lunch trip to this dark wood-filled West Seattle spot to know it’s special. They’ve got Thai classics like a lime-heavy pad thai and fragrant panang curry that can hold their own. But don’t ignore the “Signature Dishes” section of the menu, where you’ll find must-orders like crab fried rice and prawns in a silky pumpkin curry. Come with a group, knowing tensions may get high when it’s time to decide who takes the leftovers home." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Buddha Ruksa has been a popular destination for dining in West Seattle for more than 10 years. “Bags of Gold,” fried dumplings filled with shrimp, chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and water chestnuts, are a good starter. For an entree, try dishes like whole fried trout served with lemongrass, lime juice, and fresh vegetables or the grilled marinated flank steak served with sticky rice." - Harry Cheadle

"We could scream from the rooftops about Buddha Ruksa’s phenomenal garlic fried chicken, only to be interrupted by a bunch of other people also screaming about it. All you need is one trip to this dark wood-filled West Seattle spot to know it’s special. While all the Thai classics like fragrant panang curry are great, turn your attention to the “Signature Dishes” on the menu. There you’ll find crab fried rice packed with a generous amount of buttery meat and prawns in a silky pumpkin curry. Come with a group for dinner knowing tensions may get high when it’s time to decide who takes the leftovers home." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
