Buddha Belly Thai in Southend-on-Sea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

You guys are awesome! Took my friend here tonight it was her first time trying it and she loved it! It's my 3rd time eating at Buddah Belly, & i just love the place! The food is so tastey , i love the chang beer, the staff are beautiful, friendly people. I've never been to Thailand but everytime i go here i feel like I'm there. If i could afford it I'd be there every week trying everything on the menu 🤣.

Felicity Gorgeous hot feesh food so authentic.great portion size Thank you!

Beautiful tasty food..felt like I was back in Thailand! ThankYOU x

Thank you once again for your service and hospitality, second to none

Best Thai authentic in Southend

Probably the most authentic Thai I have eaten at in the UK. Good food at a reasonable price. Very spicy

You gave me the wrong thing. I'm disappointed. It's supposed to be pork, not seafood for noodles. Pay more attention.

Food is fabulous and the staff are welcoming and helpful you should definitely try this place I haven’t eaten anywhere else all week…

Absolutely unreal thai food - super authentic, quick service and totally delicious - I would say the food is on par with Speedboat restaurant in London - amazing!

My sister and I tried this restaurant as this was recommended by a very good friend. It started off great but ended up disgusted and disappointed. I felt sick upon discovering hair in my rice. I ended up not finishing my food. The staff and management were dismissive and nobody came forward to applogize.

Food was ok but didnt live upto the reviews and personally my expectations! My beef curry was very salty, and the soup was nice but not enough flavour for me- compared to other thai restaurants in the area!

Really cute little spot, really felt like we were back in Thailand.

My husband and I love this place. Reminds us of our trip to Thailand so much. Delicious food, fantastic staff, and a really great atmosphere. Yupin is the best! Will be back soon for more delicious Thai food. Got to make room for the mango sticky rice!

I decided not to bring my family to eat today as I was greeted by 3 intoxicated people I thought where customers, ended up being the staff. I swiftly turned around and left. It was a shame, I heard the food was good!

Very popular Thai bistro, both for meals and drinks. Don't miss it if you want a drink or are in a hungry state! Their special menu is highly recommended, especially if you like seafood!

It is a very good place. Foods are good, the boss there are the best

Nice Thai cooking in the restaurant, all tasted very good and the restaurant had a buzz to it,the ladies working there all chatting away in Thai and making me feel like I was in Thailand..only the hot weather missing.

Me and my Partner have been waiting to try this place for ages. It did not disappoint one bit. The Food was incredible. I had the Pad Kha-prow moo krob. I cannot recommend it enough. My Partner has the Tofu Massaman curry and that was just as amazing. The staff were also friendly, so welcoming and funny! Without a doubt we will be back again!

Authentic Thai food, full of flavour, potion size was spot on. Highly recommend

One of the best Thai curries I have had in a long time

Really scrumptious food absolutely recommend coming here the atmosphere is fantastic aswell

First time using buddha belly and was very impressed! fresh and authentic ✨️

Fabulous little place in Queens Street, nice little seating area where we ate. Absolutely brilliant street food I had the pork soup and my wife had the Chicken and Cashews. Super service. Lovely friendly staff,

Authentic food, a little noisy with music but can not recommend enough

Amazing service and lovely young lady that has excellent customer service thanks

Really authentic and great flavours

Its good. Hope there is sticker or anything seal to give confidence to the customer that the food was not opened on its way.

Have been there twice and had a few deliveries. Food is really good, nice friendly staff. Highly recommend

Great vegan pad Thai! Will defo order again

Cannot fault the food but took 1 hour 45 minutes to arrive

My food was absolutely lovely but it was late due to the delivery driver not finding my address as the map took him to the wrong place, I called him to find out where he was and when I told him he was at the wrong address and I was up the road a bit more he started shouting and being rude to me. It was completely unacceptable and the time he spent on the phone to me he could have delivered the food! And then when he delivered it he shouted to me again!

Really delicious food. Went early afternoon for lunch. Friendly staff, quick service. Didn't have the exact ingredients at the time for one dish but recommended another which was really good. A great little place. Will be back again or add to our takeaway options. 👌😋

I’ve been Thailand many times, and this is the best thai you’ll find in the area! Fantastic food and service always with a smile

A amazing small and cosy Thai restaurant run by a friendly family who cares about their customers. Delicious food and amazing vibes, Highly recommend it!

Lovley little place, lovley owners and tasty food

I have eaten at the restaurant. I have ordered a few takeaway's from here, and I have never been disappointed. The food is delicious. The staff are polite, and friendly.

Amazing food! Can't wait to go back

Food was tasty and fresh, but v.expensive for what we ordered

The food is just brilliant here. The best pad ka prow I’ve had in the area by miles. Delicious and very reasonably priced. It’s a bit rough and ready so don’t expect 5-star surroundings, but if you are looking for first class Thai cooking, it is thoroughly recommended.

Ordered only a pad Thai, was slightly colder than I'd like but deliveries in rush hour... you know. Zapped in the microwave for a minute and was absolutely delicious meal for one. Would definitely order again.

Food was all tasty but unfortunately my pad kee mao came with no chicken in it, which is pretty bizarre considering there isn't a no meat option, also the portion size of the beef jerky seems to be very inconsistent Other than this it was lovely

I’ll get straight to the point. The order was late by over 60 minutes from the original delivery time given and the restaurant didn’t answer their google nor the number they provided later for over 5 calls. The food arrived cold and when it did both mains unfortunately were filled with lots of veggies rather than the tasty meat they serve. The dish had 2 prawns and few bits of chicken in an £11 main, while the other one had 2 pieces of meat in it. Food was nice, just not enough and too cold…

Excellent succulent mussaman lamb, great noodles. Thanks.

A nice little restaurant with nice food and good customer service. Food was tasty. Average price.

Had a takeaway from here and cant fault it, i went to order and collect and service was friendly, quick and efficient. Inside was warm, cosy and upbeat. I had veggie massaman and coconut rice, both me, my mum and my little boy loved it so good option for everyone in the family. Will be back for sure!

Really lovely relaxed traditional Thai restaurant. The waiter was really kind and attentive

Fantastic food and super friendly service

Very very nice food! beef massaman and pork neck are personal favourites. staff are lovely, service can be a bit slow if you have a big party because there’s not a lot of staff but it’s so worth it!! delicious place been here twice and defo coming back

Great food selection and taste. Well priced and owner is really friendly. Would be back. Recommend the roasted pork neck rice dish.

Expensive for the portion size. Tasted fine.

First time eating here and it was lovely. The food had so much flavor and felt very clean. The restaurant is very cute with a cost atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be coming back 😊

One of the best Thai restaurants in Southend, absolutely amazing food

Fantastic food. Great service from the restaurant too when they called to advise a product was out of stock .

Food turned up after 2 hours. Order was wrong.

good place, the food is very good, the plates are well filled with food and they have a lot of quality in the service

the truth is that it is a place that you see it and it looks good, good food, good service, it is certainly worth it.

Love this place, been here multiple times and it is time I made a review. Yupin and Ben are stars, food is unbelievable, service always on point. Will continue to come back and recommend to others ❤️❤️

Uypia was amazing.fantastic food. Just amzing. Thank you guys ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely food, good service could do with more comfortable chairs

Brilliant place, lovely authentic Thai food.

Green chicken curry was lovely and the meat was soft and tender. But on the contrast, the chicken in the Pad Thai was horrible - tough, dry and tasteless. Which was a shame as the noodles and general flavour was good.

4 people arived to have a meal one young youth served us .selected meals and Drinks 2 cocktails 1 wine and 1 lemonade .Took over quarter hour Then another three quarters of a hour .our Meals .very small portions And my Rice so Stogy.Complained .offers free Drinks .Bill was 16 pound 50 pence. Not cheap for small portions .

It’s my second time here and I absolutely love the atmosphere, staff and food! You cannot beat it…. If you are wondering whether to come don’t waste a second get down here!!

Food was amazing! Best Thai we’ve ever had. Been to their restaurant before and the take away was just as good. Would throughly recommend!

One of the best places to eat meat I absolutely recommend it.

a very good site to eat something diferent!! 10/10

What a beautiful place with excellent food n a good service, this restaurant is highly recommended ❤️

The best place where I have been, excellent quality in all qualities, they have 10/10

I went as a tourist, and it's really a good place, everything was delicious and it's very hygienic

Food was delicious! Great Thai food. And excellent price. Only one chef working though which meant collection time was not what it said on the app.

Really amazing experience ... very professional staff...

Bit small just 4 tables some outside food was great first time going Thai

It’s a very good experience. I saw a Thai restaurant on Google when I was traveling southend-on-sea today. I didn’t expect the taste to be very traditional and authentic. It’s the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten in europe. Restaurant is well designed and with Thai songs playing ,I feel like i am in Thailand. Recommend pad kha prow moo krob, which is very delicious. The soup base of noodles soup is very rich. It is a pity that the pork neck run out, and I didn’t try the lemon fish. I will definitely travel here again cuz of this restaurant.

Absolutely delicious food, decent portions and very hot when it arrived. Perfect!

Small restaurant so expected quick service but sadly that wasn’t the case. Wasn’t a busy evening either- just 1 other couple eating. We decided to leave without even being able to order a drink due to the poor service. Response to owner: If your service had been acceptable then I would have been able to try your food and drink but it wasn’t so I couldn’t review those. If you are struggling due to demand with takeaway orders then may be you shouldn’t be trying to run a restaurant as well. May be just have a takeaway service. I have eaten in many restaurants and therefore expect better service than what I received. I am only being truthful to the experience I had. I have no agenda against you personally. Response to Owner: I’d be more concerned about the service you provide in your restaurant if I was you rather than who I am reviewing. Additional advice I can give you- don’t take advantage of the customers that dine at your restaurant - they won’t all tolerate poor service as you have just found out.

Absolutely delicious, fresh food. Authentic flavours and great vegan options.

Good Thai food....tasty 😋😋.little bit spicy but that's what we like . Music was nice matching the ambience. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and amazing atmosphere, will 100% vistit again

Delicious but could have had more meat in dish x

Lovely food. However do not order the Sai Oua as the portion is ridiculously small and not worth the money.

Beef massoman. Not good. Felt like a Chinese curry with ropey beef chucked in it. I'm expecting decent slow cooked lumps Of beef with fragrant sauce. Nothing like it.

This is seriously the best Thai food I’ve had in the UK. Everyone was so friendly and it was such a good vibe. If you can handle spicy food, I’d highly recommend papaya salad. 😋😋

Amazing food, quick service and delicious food with perfect portions. Lovely atmosphere very nice staff. Only pointer would be to have more seating but all in all amazing

Amazing food and service!! Deffo go back again and recommend to people who like authentic Thai food.

Been coming here for almost 6 months now , 3-5 times a week. The price is reasonable and the food are delicious. Try Pad Kha Prow , Pannang Curry, I also like sticky mango rice. Best in Thai food in Southend on sea.

We ordered Singapore noodles and Pad-kha-prow and it was too delicious.

We would give this place a 6 if we could. The couple that own the place are a brilliant pair. Extremely relaxed atmosphere with exceptional thai food! Far from pricey too. Well done guys we'll be back soon.

Lovely food, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. I would recommend here.

Amazing food, Amazing atmosphere 🙏🇹🇭

Fantastic authentic Thai food, excellent dishes, lovely owner and staff. This is a hidden gem

Absolutely delicious, thank you!

Small and bijou. Freshly cooked from scratch, street food stylee. Very tasty but pricey. Would give it another go.

Really lovely food, very tasty and friendly staff.

Food lovely. Delivery driver somewhat silly

Bland curry, over cooked chicken. Potatoes in the curry very undercooked not great food very disappointing for the price.

Some of the best food I have ever tasted. 😋

Such a little gem of a place. Absolutely delicious Thai street food!

Unreal food we won’t get Thai anywhere else

Best thai food I've tried so far in uk want to try everything

Food was delicious. Really spicy 🌶️
