Buddha Thai is a traditional Thai eatery located in Preston that offers a great range of authentic Thai street eats, curries and stir fries.
The dishes were all reasonably priced and generally well executed. Coupled with quick service and complimentary desserts for dine-in guests, Buddha Thai offers great value for money when dining out!
Buddha Thai pleases guests with bold and assertive Thai flavours. If you want the real thing, it’s here. And it comes in abundance. Don't let the pricing fool you, the portions are wonderfully generous and perfect for sharing. And for wine lovers waiting to open that bottle in the cellar, Buddha Thai just so happens to be BYO as well.

This place makes no pretension of being anything more than a local suburban Thai joint and it honestly doesn't need to. It's good, well priced, honest food.
And I'll say this. Get the satay skewers. I could eat that satay sauce up with a spoon. In fact I frequently do. It's like crack.
After trying this place on uber, this is now our number 1 thai local down the road from us. The Green chicken curry is great , Tom yum soup packs a punch and the red fish curry is very authentic just like in Thailand. The Decor is no frills in the restaurant but the food is of a good standard and price is right.
We ordered the Red Curry chicken, Chinese Broccoli, and a coconut rice.
I wish the coconut rice was more coconutty. Possibly this would be less authentic, but I like my rice super coconutty. Chinese Broccoli was good, the greens were quite tender. Red curry chicken tasted good, but the curry itself might've been a little thick.
Our favourite Thai - highly recommend!
The seafood and chicken dishes are always perfectly cooked and succulent, the Thai flavours are authentic and very tasty.
Generous portion sizes and lovely presentation. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating with dietary requirements.
The food at this place is so good I could simply kill myself.
Just got the 'tom kar' soup with chicken and coconut rice delivered via uber. The tom kar flavours were great although I would have preferred a lot more chilli and spice. It was fairly weak on that behalf. When ordering I asked for preparation to be gluten free and they wrote on the receipt gluten free and highlighted it to show me an effort was made. Coconut rice is incredible... I definitely would eat bucket loads of it if I could! Fairly decent meal, not as flavoursome as it is in thailand but still quite good.
Awesome that food full of Thai herbs and spices.. Lovely ambiance and friendly staff.. Must try their soups, noodles and fried rice... Most recommended...
This is our go to takeaway place. Ordered from them countless times and have never been disappointed. Generous amount of veggies, tasty sauces and consistent taste. Speedy delivery and always friendly and pleasant to deal with. Makes it hard to ever consider moving.
Really lovely staff & service. This is the best Pad Thai I've had around Preston, or even Melbourne... Really great red curry too. Fresh and dazzling on the tongue.
Lovely restaurant with quality food. The massaman chicken curry is by far the best I've ever had!
Visited the restaurant tonight for dinner with my fiance. We were very happy wirg the service and quality and quantity of food. The waitress continually filled our glasses with water and was very friendly. We ate the pad see ew, roti's and vegetarian spring roles. I will visit this restaurant again to try yhe curries!
Yum yum yum!!. Love Buddha Thai so much! Staff are lovely, great service, delicious food and it's a bargin! Ten out of ten.
Lovely restaurant. Wonderful service. Table of teachers next to us slightly unnerving
We liked this. We called late and they had closed, but they delivered us food anyway - and we appreciated that. We had the vege spring rolls & curry puffs for entree. Both your standard kind of fried entree - we enjoyed. Main was chicken pad see ew, which we both really liked. Lots of chicken and fresh veges with a perfect sauce - not too sweet, just right. Massaman beef had lovely sauce and though the beef was tender I do prefer the chunkier style rather than stirfried style. Also found the carrot and pineapple slightly unusual - but tasted alright. We will come back to try more dishes, thankyou.
Had a great night!. The ambience is peaceful and serene with quotes from Buddha, statues, plants and waterfalls. The decor is classy, yet comfortable and welcoming. The wait staff attentive and very friendly and the chef is top notch!
The food we had was that of a five star restaurant. Presentation was amazing and the taste was just so delicious! BYO so we were able to bring a good bottle of wine to do justice to the amazing food.
We had a great night and I will definately go back for more! When I need beautiful surroundings and food, I now know where to go. Big thanks to all the staff at Buddha for a great night :)
The food here is amazing! It's probably a couple of dollars per dish more expensive than your average Thai restaurant, but I think that's offset by how good the food is! Prawn and cashew stirfry was delicious and the Penang and green curries were also very good. Service is adequate - staff are a little shy but who cares!? They cook so well!!
Good. Ordered home delivery this week. They said it would take 45-60 minutes but it came after about 25 minutes, exceeding expectations. I had the yellow curry with seafood which was fresh and tasty. I also had the Roti with Satay sauce which was tasty too. If I'm in the mood for Thai takeouts I'll definitely order from them again.
So delicious!. I brought 2 dishes (pad thai chick and prawn stir fry) a small rice home deliver which cost me $40.50 so it was very expensive for this little hung over chicken BUT I could instantly see the quality on opening each dish.
The from the array of vegetables and the crunch of prawns the cheif obviously cares about his food.
As for the service, the gentleman who served my the phone was very polite, efficient and professional.
I would not hesitate to order from here again, maybe next time I'll share the bill!
Buddha Thai - great taste, hold the salt. I get take away from this place, and love the flavours. After a year in Thailand, the food from here reminds me of "home". I also kick myself each time I go in there - because I somehow manage to forget to tell them to go easy on the salt. The last half times I've bought meals here, the food has been WAY too salty.
I've never eaten in, but it really seems more a takeaway place than anything else. I personally think $16 or $17 for their fish and seafood mains is good value, given the freshness and flavour of the food.
Sooo good! My partner and I have walked past here a fair bit and decided to give it a try and it was delicious! Generous portion sizes, great menu and food was amazing!!! 100% recommend
I don’t actually understand negative reviews. I noticed that many people who rated 1star⭐️ have only one or two reviews, so I decided to check it because its next to our apartment.
👟We went there yesterday. The waiter was very nice and supportive. He was doing his best, had repeated our order to make sure if it’s correct and he made some eloquent advices. His English wasn’t perfect but 100%understandable.
Food- absolutely delicious! Especially soup with coconut milk ❤️
💰Prices- affordable. For two starters, two main, double whiskey and a bottle of wine, we paid under $100. It’s really nice, quiet place with positive atmosphere, I’m happy that I live next to them!
Love the place its nice and quiet. And love the food went twice. And satisfied. Good for vegans and vegetarians. Surely recommend.
Amazing food, I am so impressed by the quality of the food and the service. I highly recommend!
Duck Red Curry and Soft Shell Crab salad, yum!
Delicious, fresh and authentic Thai. Lovely, friendly staff and great dine in atmosphere. So pleased it's our local!
good food with affordable prices, wagyu beef is really nice!
