Buddha View Lounge And Lodge

Great place for food and cocktails Lovely staff and nice owners Great location

A decent number of choices of food, good location with a table where your feet hang over the water. A very friendly staff and professional place.

Great view but seafood is not so fresh and not that delicious. And the price is not worth that food.

This restaurant has a strange atmosphere. It has a Buddha theme but Cuban music playing in the background. The staff is not very friendly, with forced smiles and politeness. As for the food, which is probably the most important, it was a total disaster. It has nothing to do with authentic Thai cuisine. But I guess there are not many places left in Thailand with the real deal. The chicken satay was okay (diluted peanut sauce), stuffed crabs (metallic taste, unpleasant smell). I thought pad thai couldn't be ruined, but surprisingly, it was edible. The fried rice noodles with vegetables and shrimp (tasteless, like steamed vegetables, could easily be served in an Italian restaurant, lacking Thai spices). The fruit shake was like diluted syrup with a mushy piece of orange, separating after a minute. When I left almost untouched plate, the staff asked if something was wrong, I said it didn't taste good. The lady acknowledged it, turned around, and left. Of course, the item was still added to the bill. The Coke Zero was very tasty, though.

The food at this restaurant is amazing! The crispy fried minced pork salad was delicious!
