I have been searching for a good Thai restaurant since moving to the area 3 years ago. I have finally found my go-to Thai restaurant. The food was hot, fresh, beautifully presented and delicious! Even the iced tea made by our server, Amelia, was outstanding. The booth was comfortable, the music soft and we could hear each other👍 Amelia was everything you could want in a server; friendly, informative and competent. We look forward to returning soon to sample some of the other interesting offerings.

The Red curry was flavorful and not super spicy. It was very mild. Just enough to make your nose run. It was delicious. The staff is super nice as well.
Update: the Nam Tok Beef was amazing! The beef was cooked but the dish is cool. The lime juice and seasonings really makes this dish delicious. The Beef Jerky that comes with it is hot and reminds me of what a Beef Satay would be. Absolutely fantastic.
I will be having a hard time deciding which dish to get next time. Both the Red Curry and the Nam Tok Beef is so good.

If you are looking for the best Thai place in Apex, look no further! This place is kind of a hole in the wall and though I ding the place for the decor/ambiance because it's not upscale by any means the food is five stars! Great hospitality by the hosts. The food was spot on. The lunch menu is comprehensive. Lots and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. This would be my go to place for takeout.

Super cool place that’s open late. Stopped in here after going to the Comic Strip. It’s hard to find good places on the Upper East Side that are open past 10. Bua checked off all the boxes. Beautiful ambience inside, great attentive service, and excellent Thai food. This is a winner!!!

I’m upset we haven’t been here sooner. The food was absolutely delicious. I’m not a huge Thai fan, I like it just don’t love it. This place has me rethinking this. Like I wasn’t expecting to write a review so only took a picture of the pineapple fried rice with shrimp (OMG yum). Had the Tom Yum soup (best I’ve ever had), chicken drunken noodles (really solid) and as aforementioned the pineapple fried rice. Service was friendly and efficient. Listen, why you still reading? Go eat!

Bua Thai has become my go-to spot when I'm craving delicious Thai cuisine. As someone who was on the hunt for a good Thai restaurant, I can confidently say that Bua Thai exceeds my expectations every time. The food is simply outstanding, with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The cozy and inviting atmosphere adds to the overall dining experience, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Moreover, the customer service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff always ready to assist. Bua Thai truly ticks all the boxes for an exceptional Thai dining experience.

The food is fantastic. I very much enjoyed it. We went to the place before the pandemic and it was disorganized in the Front of House. It still is.
The only issue is that our order came out one plate at a time. When I asked, I was told one person prepares all of the Noodle dishes. That's actually pretty standard, so clearly either there is disorganization in the kitchen or they aren't waiting for full tickets to be complete. It's a simple fix, because this has happened to me 0 times since I started going out again. Because they prepare it fresh to order, if they had waited and brought the whole table the food would still have been as hot and amazing.
Still, you should eat at this place. I could have caught them on a bad day - there was a large group that never seemed to leave - so everyone could have been wiped and over it. Left them a good tip, because food was good and the servers were friendly.
I am going back there again. They bring out the food together and it is 5 stars all day. This is really 4.5, but that isn't allowed. Highly recommend even with the hiccup.

I was brought here by a co- worker. A lot of the menu looked so appetizing.
I had the Drunken Noodles. They were fantastic. Highly recommended.
