Its not until you’ve returned from a holiday in Thailand that will you be so thankful that Lucky Buddha opened its doors in mid 2014. Chef and owner Ken Khamuueng, along with his wife Angkhana, bring the flavours they grew up with at home and on the streets of Thailand to their new restaurant in Mermaid Beach. Warm smiles and greetings await as you enter, and the fragrances wafting from the kitchen are only a brief taste of whats to come. Crispy pork with prik king sauce is a favourite, but any Thai restaurant is compared by their spring rolls and tom yum soup, and Lucky Buddha doesn’t disappoint.
