We had a delicious meal here.
It was definitely on the pricey side for Thai food so maybe not the best value, but the quality was high and we were pleased with all three dishes we tried.
The crispy duck was definitely a stand-out, and what we couldn’t finish all made for good leftovers.
The servers were also very nice, and accommodated our baby with grace.

I live in West Seattle heard alot about Buddha Ruksa and never went there - well my loss.
This place is amazing and my fav Thai place in all of Seattle.
They have their traditional Thai dishes like curries and all but also some different menu items which you dont get at other places.
We called them and booked a reservation for Saturday dinner.
Glad we did cos when we arrived at 7:30 PM their wait time was over 45 mins.
We were promptly seated and ordered the following items: 1.
Spicy Wonton: Delicious house made pork and shrimp dumplings served with our famous garlic chili oil. 2.
Crispy Garlic Chicken and Tofu: This was really good.
They serve this as an entree or app both so ask your server about that.
Chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce coating was very flavorful 3.
Crab fried rice: The most flavorful best crab fried rice I have ever had.
I usually find it to be dry but this place had it perfectly made so much so I did not need any curry to pair it up with.
Huge fan of the crab fried rice at this place. 4.
5 Spice Duck Noodle: Delicious egg noodles with five spice duck.
This was really good.
The noodles had soaked amazing flavors from the sauce and the duck was cooked perfectly too. 5.
Vegetable Spring Rolls: Nice crispy fresh tasting spring rolls. 6.
Drinks: Blueberry Lemon Drop, Dark & stormy, Tamarind sour & Jan-Hom (non-alcoholic).
All the drinks were amazing, tasted great and presentation was on point. Service was superb.
The restaurant has a nice cozy ambience.
Food was out in no time even though it was busy dinner time.
Parking can be a pain at this location but you may get lucky finding a spot in the residential lanes.
All in all I am a fan and I highly recommend this spot for all Thai food lovers.

Great food! Tasty and nicely spice! All 3 dishes ordered were outstanding.
Highly recommend the cashew chicken - ticks all the boxes with a 4/5 spice- heat level.
