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.

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!

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!!!

A little Thai spot tucked away into Sutton Station that delivers a great selection. We had the Green Curry and Pad See Ew and both were very tasty.

The food was delicious! The drunken noodles are the best. Catfish was a little too salty, basil dish had too many onions. My massaman curry was weirdly peanutty. But on the whole, the food was incredible!

I was brought here by a co- worker. A lot of the menu looked so appetizing.

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.

While visiting Durham, NC for a business trip, my family and I decided to look for a Thai restaurant and upon almost every Thai restaurant not opening until 5pm we ended up finding Bua Thai! Coming from New Orleans with such incredible food my expectations were not high, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG! Everything we ordered was delicious! So delicious that we forgot to take a photo until we were almost done! Just looking at the photo you can tell we enjoyed our meal!

The food and service is excellent! It’s hard to recommend a specific meal because everything that I’ve eaten at Bua has been delicious.
