Buddha Thai

Quick service, good food, friendly staff. BYO drinks, which we didn’t know beforehand :’) Apple juice in the shop is freshly squeezed to order

We ordered lunch menu and the food portion was just nice. However, tom yum soup was pricey as it came as a small bowl. Wished that it could be spicier with more ingredients in it! Otherwise, it is still a great place for Thai food.

Lovely restaurant, great service and great food. Unfortunately we had to share the place with a loud family with annoying young children so it wasn't a great atmosphere.

I had the pleasure of dining at Buddha Thai on New Year's day, a time when most places are closed, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The fact that they were open was already a plus, but what truly set them apart was their incredible willingness to accommodate dietary preferences. As a vegan, I often find it challenging to dine out, especially on holidays, but they went above and beyond. The staff suggested various modifications to their traditional dishes, ensuring that I could enjoy a delicious meal without compromising my dietary choices. The service was prompt and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience.

Delicious food, good portion sizes and great value too. It was a popular place and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant

Friendly but slow service, The highlight dishes were the Beef Mussaman Curry, and the Chicken Satay Skewers, which had a really flavorsome peanut sauce! However, I didn’t really rate the Thai Jungle curry which just tasted like Tom Yum broth with chicken and veggies (chicken was really bland) Overall this place was ok, but I definitely wouldn’t rush back to dine here if we were visiting Launceston again.

My boss got this for me because I was sick it had so many great flavours and brought all the hot sweats out made me feel great yum as.

Nice food and great coffee. We had a Pad Thai and a Stir fried rice as main dish and vegetable dumplings as entree, all good. Also staff very friendly.

I had laksa which was amazing. Couldn't have asked for anything better on a chilly and rainy afternoon. The restaurant was just about to close after lunch, but they were happy to serve us. Would love to go back but we were just in holiday!

Yes! That's what you should say when somebody suggests to eat here for lunch. It was a beautiful day so I could sit outside and being summer meant Som Tum was on the special menu (not on the paper menu). What a treat. I had to ask for real spice and they delivered. This Green Papaya Salad camee topped with 3 delicious prawns. I've just ordered more food! I hope I can come back here... Friendly staff, great prices and well presented, delicious food.

I love love buddah thai! The food is tasty and cheap and its byo . So if you are on a budget its the place to go. The staff are just absolutely lovely. I recommend booking as it gets packed out really quickly

Buddha Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and until recently I'd only ever been here for breakfast. It's a cosy little spot opposite Princes Square. For breakfast they do standards with a thai twist - french toast with bacon and tamarind sauce, chicken satay on toast, thai-style omelette, bacon and egg roll with homemade chilli jam... All delicious and a little bit different. And the coffee is excellent. Lunch and dinner is more standard thai fare. Really delicious food and wonderful coconut rice. The lychee frappe drink is freshly blended and totally worthwhile. Service is quick and friendly, and the food comes out promptly and piping hot. It's not a big space, and it's pretty busy on a Saturday night, so it could be a good idea to either get in early or book a table at peak times.

Came here for the first time recently for an evening meal. Was jam packed with people and we were lucky to get a table. Squishy, but cosy. Gorgeous old building. Nice interior design. The food here was delicious. Fresh ingredients. Well put together and presented. I ate a satay tofu dish, name escapes me sorry. Hubby had a ginger red meat stir fry. Both where of high quality and we couldn't fault. The cold Thai milk tea was something new to try, quite sweet, but tasty. The meal sizes where not big, so perhaps an entree in addition would fill the belly if you are super hungry. Service was fast and efficient. Not super friendly, but not rude in any way. Easy city location if you are in the area. Highly recommend.

Been here a couple of times and everything we've had was amazing. Small and cozy and the food is to die for. Duck red curry and chicken wings are amazing, as are the satay skewers and spring rolls! Will be back again soon!
