Little Buddha Thai Kitchen

Excellent food and service. It's always hot and fresh plus the waiters are nice. The thai ice tea is solid as well if you're into that. The place is a little small so I would call in ahead of time and reserve a spot. They also have a to go option if you can't make before they close or you want to eat at home. If you're in the Inland Empire and love thai food, you definitely need to get over here and try this place out!

Place was recommended by some friends and we were not disappointed. Went for lunch on a SaturdayIt is a pretty small place with about 8 tables. We got there right after it opened and by the time we left almost all the tables were full. A lot of regulars must come here because there was quite a bit of take out orders just in the hour we were there. My wife and I wanted couldn't decide on what we wanted so we tried the sample. Which had a great variety and if you look at the picture had a lot of food. I got the pad see ew beef , my wife got the won ton noodle soup (forgot to take a pic since it came a couple minutes after the first others). The pad see ew was really good. Wasn't too sweet and portions was a good amount. The wonton soup was enormous. Broth had depth and the amount and variety of protein was a lot. We also got pineapple fried rice. It's one of the standards we get and probably the best we had in the area. Service was great. Prices are reasonable especially for the portions

I visited here for the first time last night and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The place is a little bit small and, but it was busy, which is usually a good sign for the food.The service was a bit slow, and it was hard to get the server's attention when we needed anything or wanted to order more. I guess they have a lot of to go orders as well. My advice: make sure you order everything you want as soon as you're seated. One of the servers seemed to have an attitude, she was visibly annoyed when taking our orders and when we asked for something. After we were done, she simply took our payment with a device, and not a single thank you after. We were packing our leftover and she took our plates without asking if we're done with those plates, which we wasn't. I wish the other lady was the one who serve us, she looks really nice and sweet.We ordered three dishes:1. Tom Yum Goong: A perfect balance of sour and spicy with generous portions.2. Spring Rolls: The peanut sauce was fantastic, served warm. There were lots of veggies, and while the shrimp was barely noticeable, it was still tasty.3. Drunken Noodles (Beef): The beef was great, but the noodles had an odd, overly sweet taste.Despite the service issues, I'll be back to try more dishes!

Service is still the same & food just as flavorful! We loved our dishes we ordered. Perfect portions for group!

Good service. All the food was very tasty and served hot. I really enjoyed the spring rolls and crying tiger. Spring rolls were fresh and large, great for sharing. Crying Tiger was served medium, soft and juicy, and both sauces were complex. The green sauce fishy, salty, with some spicy mess. The black was sweet and fragrant. Fried rice was loaded to brim, very delicious. Thai Ice Tea large and quenched my thirst.

I had bookmarked this place during my last visit to Riverside County due to the overwhelmingly positive Yelp reviews. This time I decided to stop by since the Thai restaurant happened to be on my way back to Los Angeles.[Parking]: The parking lot was fairly crowded, but few spots were still available.[Service]: The restaurant was about 90% packed for dine-in at 6 PM on Sunday. Interestingly enough the waitress didn't ask about the spice level when I ordered Pad See Ew. Last call for dining room seating is 30 minutes prior to shift closing.[Menu]: According to Yelp highlights, the three most popular dishes are the classic Thai noodle options: Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Drunken Noodles. Other popular options include yellow/green curry and spring rolls.***Spring Rolls (Fresh Veggies, Vermicelli Noodles & Shrimp wrapped in Rice Paper & Served with Peanut Sauce - $9.95): The warm peanut sauce had a solid flavor and leaned more on the sweet side & not spicy. Too much vegetables and I didn't even notice shrimps until my last bite.Pad See Ew (Flat Rice Noodles Stir Fried w/ Egg, Broccoli, Chinese Broccoli, Black Soy Sauce - Beef, $14.95): The flavors were pretty good and on point, but it started to get a bit salty as the soy sauce started to built up halfway through. The noodles weren't spicy at all which was fine.***A solid Thai restaurant if you happen to be in the area.

This place is amazing! Seating is first come first serve so it can get packed very quickly. They do also offer take out and seemed to do well with it as I saw many orders go out during our time there. We ordered the spring rolls, pad see ew, yellow curry with chicken and a side of rice. The spring rolls are served with some of the best peanut sauce I've had. So great to start the meal off. Next the pad see ew, my goodness was that delicious. I could have easily eaten that entire bowl on my own! The yellow curry we ordered with mild spice. Great portion and great taste too. Loved the potatoes and carrots in it. It is so delicious my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I also ordered myself a Thai iced coffee and that was great too! Looking forward to coming back and trying out more of the menu.

We've been ordering from LBTK for a long time, but we always take the food to-go. Today we finally tried dining in person. This place gets a lot of hits and gets busy really quick. At 5:30 pm, there were alreaady a waiting list that formed. We were fortunate to have just waited for about 10 minutes before a table cleared and we were seated. After seating, they offered a high chair and after some time, a waitress came to take our orders. We got the usual beef pad see ew with beef, fried calamari, the sticky rice with mango, and the iced Thai tea. The food were all delicious and came rather quickly. The waitresses (there were only 2 working) were efficient and were doing their best to accommodate all of the tables inside. The place itself is divided into two sides, each sides lined with about 4-5 tables that seats 4 people. So aaccommodating for larger groups might be a bit difficult due to space. After we were done eating, we noticed the wait times were already at 1 hour for dine - in :o it was pretty insane. We were just glad that we beat the line! The decor was kept to a minimal, the restaurant is kept neat and clean. I just wished they'd have more AC power. It was a really hot day today and if only that AC could be felt, it would have been a more wonderful experience. The wait staff do get stretched pretty thin so it also took a while for water refills, and asking for the check.

Absolute favorite! Can never go wrong with Little Buddha and their food is genuinely so good. I crave their thai tea so much. Their service is quick and great and overall it's usually crowded so I would recommend getting there at a decent time to snag a table. It is a smaller restaurant so it's limited seating. Portions are so great for sharing and affordable as well.

Food here is always freshly made. You can tell they care about their ingredients. The staff is always nice and welcoming. However, the space is very small and the wait can get long depending on the time of day. They will close at certain periods in the middle of the day, so check their hours before heading over -- I learned my lesson twice
