We are looking for new restaraunts near Burlington/Bedford/Billerica,
preferrably on the HOT side (Schezuan,Thai,Vietnamese). Some of us
would like a buffet also. We have lunched-out Great Wall, Yangtze River
and the new Thai place near the Burlington Mall. Any tips greatly
appreciated. 10-15 minutes from the mall is probably our max travel
zone.

Thanks, Kyle

That would be Lemon Grass, on Mass. Ave. where the old Pewter Pot used to
be (more or less opposite Bel Canto).  I went there a few months ago and
enjoyed it - had the usual standbys (Chicken Satay and Pad Thai), both of
them competent-plus.

It's a little out of your travel zone, but I'd highly recommend the
Southeast Asian Restaurant in Lowell.  Lunch and early week dinner buffets,
Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, and Burmese, and a lot of HOT stuff.
Consistently rated very highly.  Everyone I've ever taken there wants to
know when we're coming back.

There's also a Japanese-Korean place up 3A in Billerica called Ahsa that
has a buffet.  Not a lot of hot things, though a little wasabi never hurt....
Not outstanding but not bad either.  I've only been there for dinner, and
I've usually had to wait awhile for the check.  It may be better at lunch time.

I've heard rumors of a decent Thai place in Lexington....

Perhaps it was Lemon Grass.  I've been there only once. I'm pretty
sure its owned by the same people that own the Amarin (at the corner
of Galen & Washington in Newton Corner).  I have much more experience
with Amarin, it was my favorite (next to the now closed Pattaya in
Brookline) when I lived in Newton.

This is probably just beyond your "15 min from the Mall" limit,
but Southeast Asia Restaurant on Market St. in Lowell serves a
very good buffet lunch, with Thai, Cambodian, Lao, and Vietnamese
dishes featured.  All you can eat for a resonable price (I can't
remember exactly, but I think it was $5.95?).

It is only a short drive to the Lowell Connector.

I had the lunch buffet at Thai Tai in Burlington, and was not impressed.
The buffet was not at all authentic, heck they serve vegetable tempura and
chinese lomein.  Next time I'll drive to Lexington, Lemon Grass is several
times better.

If you happen to be in Maynard, where I work, try Thai Chili.  It is very good.
