We came on a Saturday around 1 and it wasn’t too busy. The Thai tea was delicious and definitely worth ordering. We tried the chicken satay, beef noodle soup, and the tom yum potak soup. The chicken satay and beef noodle soup were both very tasty and flavorful.
The tom yum potak soup was a bit sweeter than we’re used to, so it wasn’t quite our preferred style of potak. Because of that we’re not sure if we’d come back specifically for the soup, but everything else we ordered was really good. Overall it was a nice experience. -
Have been several times with my daughter. The food and service is fantastic. Had the pineapple fried rice and it did not disappoint. Their desserts are also wonderful. -
It was our first time here and we were seated right away. The wait took a while for food to arrive but it was worth the wait and service was very good and friendly. The food was really good and the flavors and the quality was very much worth the wait . -
Really good, authentic Thai food. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Our server Dani was friendly and attentive, the whole meal was a breeze. In chatting more, we learned the owner cares about staying true to authentic Thai flavors, and it really comes through in the food! -
We've been coming to Bua for years and in never disappoints! The Tom Yum dumplings are to die for. We also love the pad thai and green curry. This is our favorite Thai restaurant! Amelia is always such a great server!
