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.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

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
