★★★★★ 5.0 Samantha · Nov 2025

Perfect lunch experience. Great portion on entrees and price. Great service. Ordered bua wings and they were VERY crispy and not a ton of meat on them. For $8 the chicken satay portion was rather small.

Bua Thai is an absolute gem. I wish I had found this place sooner. The food was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish tastes like it was made with care and real attention to detail. The service is just as impressive. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without hovering. It’s the kind of place that gets it right every time. If you’re craving excellent Thai food and top-notch service, this is the spot. Highly recommend.

Pad kee mao was good. Medium spice was perfect for me. Red curry also good but interested in trying panang next time. Highly recc the tom yum dumplings!! Shirley Temple was also good

★★★☆☆ 3.0 TanYa Gwathmey · Aug 2024

I'm a Thai food lover and had a taste for some dinner. The area was nice and the restaurant was casually comfortable. A Thai curry is my first test of a restaurant. If you can't do this well, all else is questionable. The green curry here was just ok. There's a limit to the heat level they will prepare, but they will give you additional spice to add yourself. There were very few vegetables in the curry, nor much taste of keffir lime, which was a bit bland. The dumplings were a bit greasy and not something I would order again. My daughter had the basil catfish (pad prik catfish), which was actually pretty good. The catfish was fried really well, but needed to add more seasoning for some actual spiciness. I may return for the fish dish, but the curry and other dish leaves much to
