<b>Note:</b> The Laughing Buddha is no longer in existence; it closed some time around early 2008, and its location is currently (as of June 2008) occupied by a club known as Bar 653 (pictured). The information below is retained for those who want to know what it used to be like. <div class="old_info"> Thai restaurant and cocktail bar in [[Locale Limehouse|Limehouse]]. Does a few Malaysian dishes too, e.g. char kway teow, mee goreng. Also does takeaway and delivery. We've only had delivery from here, not eat-in; it's not bad for takeaway food, and we've used it four or five times. [[Kake]]'s comments on our November 2007 delivery: Tom yum with mushrooms (£3.75) had very little heat, and the mushrooms were just ordinary button mushrooms, though the flavour of the stock was good. Pan-fried chicken dumplings (£4) weren't bad; thick, chewy skins. Steamed fragrant rice (£2) was OK but nothing special. The Thai dim sum (£4) are basically siu mai - open-topped chicken and prawn dumplings. They weren't bad. Vegetarian steamed chive dumplings (£3.50) were a bit stodgy, possibly slightly undercooked, and without much flavour. [[bob]] says the only thing he's not really liked from here is ped pad kiamchai (duck in sweet and sour plum sauce, £7.50), which was "OK but nothing special". I seem to remember we've previously liked the mixed seafood salad (£7.50) - "prawns, squid, mussels, fishcakes and fish balls tossed in a hot and spicy sauce on a bed of salad". Comment added by bob: The green curry and Masman Curry are very good. The steamed sea bass with black bean sauce wasnt that great. I found my tom yum with mushrooms to be tasty and slightly warming. Comment added by Kake: 15 Dec: The Thai dim sum we had tonight were rubbish compared to the ones I've had from here previously; the filling was mushy, watery, and flavourless. I actually quite liked the sea bass with black bean sauce, but then I do like fish more than bob does. The green curry was rather good, yes. The prawns in batter were a bit greasy and could have done with a dip of some kind. I liked the tofu and mixed vegetables. Comment added by Kake: 30 December 2007: doop ordered over the phone tonight; it sounded quite painful and indeed they messed up our order by sending us a tofu dish instead of the beef one we'd ordered. Would recommend ordering over the interweb in future. <div class="last_verified">Food last sampled by [[Kake]], [[doop]], and [[bob]], December 2007.</div> </div>
