Every time I go there, regardless of if I get take away or dine in, the food is great. The servers are always cheerful and kind. The Nam Tok beef is my favorite, their Tom Kha soup is amazing, and their curry and Pad Thai are on point. Many Thai restaurants I've been to either don't have mixed drinks or make me regret getting them. Bua Thai is the exception, all the drinks I've gotten there have been well made and enjoyable. Maybe try Thor's Hammer...it has a special place in my heart.
Good dumplings: thin dough surrounding generous pork & shrimp filling. Also good: Thai sausage, catfish. I asked for "Thai hot" and "very spicy" and it was. I'm definitely coming back.
Excellent food, gracious servers, friendly atmosphere and free parking. Our meals were served piping hot and the staff was more than patient with our questions and very attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Food was okay, nothing special. Lunch special was a good deal for 9$. The soups were a disappointment just broth and some pieces of chicken. I ordered the catfish which had a good spicy sauce, but the catfish was mushy. Overall, ok experience but wouldn’t come back here again because I can probably these items at home with better flavor.
The food tasted ok but it was spendy. We got Tom yum soup and the grilled chicken with papaya salad and sticky rice. I was hoping for bone in chicken but it was just a chicken breast and maybe a boneless skinless thigh. Papaya salad could use a spicy kick. The flavors seemed to be catering to a more American palate. I would be interested in trying out one of their curry dishes if we come back.
