Entering the buddha lounge is an experience! they love the low and colorful lighting. honored by the size of Chinese life figures, the red-eded decoration with steel accented, a pleasant surprise! immediately greeted and sitting in the dining room, at a cold December night. many tvs that dress up the wall of the lounge have sporting events. I had the red curry and was amazed over the portions! huge is a subdued. delicious does not describe enough the taste. After having this dish in many other local restaurants, I can say that this is by far the best! filled with a full of sweet, with bamboo shoot, sorted paprika and thai basilikum. red curry includes...read more

A well earned 5 stars from the décor, atmosphere, service, ambiance, oh and the food was spectacular. I arrived to a not so crowded bar and decided to eat there. To my surprise, the server, Kevin, handed me menus and told me that it was their happy hour,  all drinks, tap beers and appetizers were half priced.  I had no trouble finding a parking spot on E. North Ave. I ordered spring rolls ($8 ), one beef and one shrimp,  and a Lakefront IPA, ($6) on tap.  The spring rolls arrived within 10 minutes.  These rolls were huge!  More than a meal for one.  Served with a house peanut sauce.  The overstuffed spring rolls were fresh and filled with fresh vegetables, shrimp and beef and were both very tasty,  I had half the order to go.  I ordered the Red Thai Curry ($12) with beef.  Having never tasted Black Rice, I decided to try it.  The diner arrived right on time.  Again I was impressed by the portions of the Red Curry and the  mound of Black Rice with a bit of a crunch and a faint nutty taste This was a welcome addition to the extra large bowel of Red Thai Curry filled with "Grass fed beef", bamboo shoots, bell peppers and carrots, topped with a large sprig of Thai Basil.  This dish was just a bit spicy, not too hot. The heat was just right and didn't overpower the rich flavor of the broth and fresh crisp vegetables in the Red Curry.  Overall, I couldn't more highly recommend Buddha Lounge for anyone who loves Thai food.  But the thing that will bring me back is the variety of offerings from Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Sushi and even some American items. The attentive service, and authentic flavors. were capped off by an offering of a piece of Godiva Chocolate!
