Chive dumpling
Karolina J.

Have gotten this place several times to go and dinned in twice. They have an excellent pad Thai and my kids really like the "chicken on a stick". Another favorite that we had here was the scallion dumpling (which was a daily special at the time).

Pad Si-Ew
Bryanna J.

My partner and I did order take out from here a couple times, but most recently both got very sick. Not sure if the food was left out or what. We will be taking a break from here.

Their noodle and fried rice dishes are good, and they have the best Thai iced tea around. Their food is better when you dine-in than when you order delivery (pad Thai has always been a miss as a delivery but good when dining in). Service is usually fast, and the place is clean. Good Thai option in the Darien area.

This restaurant is located in a small strip mall with other restaurants (and an ice cream shop). The decor is modern and bright with wood floors, 3 booths, 4 four person tables, and 3 two person tables. We were seated right away and handed menus. We placed our order within 5 minutes. There is modern music playing softly in the background... but loud enough to not understand the conversations of the other tables near us. Which we appreciated. My husband ordered the Pad Thai with Beef and I ordered the Massaman Curry with Vegetables. The temperature of the restaurant was perfect, not hot or cold. There were at least 5 food order pickups so they have a busy business! We were the second table at 5:30pm and at least three other tables came in after us. The food is excellent!! I highly recommend dining here!

Thai Ice Tea

I found this little gem when searching for Thai food in the area. I can tell you right now that the prices are more than reasonable for the ample portions they have. If you think Bua is even remotely expensive then you should try White Crane in Naperville. That place is way overpriced for the same food. Bua is tucked away in a small strip. Not a lot of traffic. We didn't need any reservations when we walked in after 7:40 pm. We were seated right away. The owner is very friendly and attentive. Food came out fast and fresh. We ordered Thai ice tea, beef pad si-ew, tofu pad thai, massaman curry, and mango sticky rice. -Thai ice tea 5 - very refreshing. I like the glass it came in. -beef pad si-ew 4 - beef was tough and chewy. Not sure if it's because we came in closer to closing time. The sauce and noodles were good. Noodles are a little chew. -tofu pad thai 5 - noodles are chewy and sauce isn't bland. Good amount of tofu pieces. Colorful dish with the sufficient amount of veggies. -beef massaman curry 4 - not spicy. Very creamy. Could use a bit more flavor. Good amount of meat but beef was overcooked. A bit chewy and tough. -mango sticky rice 5 - big pieces of mango. Sticky rice was a little sweet. Seasonal dessert only.

The dining area is very clean and inviting, I'm sure you will love this place, if you like Thai food you need to try Bua Kitchen.

This place is a hidden gem, the appetizers are delicious we always get a couple each and then a bowl of tom yum soup, the soup comes in a couple of heat levels so depending on how daring you are, I say go hot, you get to choose your protein we love the shrimp.

Small Coconut Milk Soup
Francis R.

Not sure if it's the fact that I haven't good Thai food in quite some time, but I really enjoyed the food from here. They are open for dine in now (previously we had try to come here but it was take out only). While it's a relatively small dining area in a small shopping plaza, the service was quick and the portions are good sized. For food we tried the hot and sour coconut milk based soup with chicken to start, it was delicious. I can never resist a good tom kha kai. For main entrees, a pad thai with chicken, pad si-ew with beef, and a basil fried rice. Honestly all of it was good and hit the spot, and we had a decent amount of food to take home. For now, I call this my favorite Thai spot in the western burbs until proven otherwise. Last thing to note, is that they are BYOB and it's conveniently located is a liquor store next door. That's all I got on this one. 'Til next time, cheers!

Chicken Pad Thai

The service here is impeccable. The food and appetizers are AMAZING!!!!!! We discovered a new place to eat.

Mango W/ Sticky Rice, Spicy Chicken Pot Stickers, Shumai
Lauren K.

What a hidden gem! Was so glad to find a place with sticky rice & ripe mango, yum! Also lucky to have come in on a day when they were serving the spicy chicken pot sticker special.

The food is fabulous. Service was fast. Definitely the best Thai restaurant in Meridian. We had fried duck with basil sauce and the pad woon sen with shrimp.

3.5/5 stars. The panang curry was on the sweet side and the mango sticky rice was ok.

I recently moved to the suburbs and have been struggling to find "my" Thai place. Enter Baisi Thai!…read more I'm not asking for much out of a Thai place: consistency and a few good options that I can bounce between depending on my mood. My go to is usually pad Thai, but when I saw the Kao Soy on their menu, I jumped at the chance! It is out of this world! I feel like some Thai spots just get it, and baisi thai is on point! I usually place my order for pickup but I have eaten inside their restaurant twice. The staff is fairly young and eager to help. On one particular day, a few of the staff and I were discussing the winter weather advisory and how their schools were closed tomorrow for a snow day:) It was nice to banter while waiting for my pickup. Look no further- this is the best Thai place I've found in the western suburbs. By a long shot!

For sure this pretty small Thai restaurant in Westmont was better than expected. It looked like it…read morewas going to be some cheap counter order place, judging by the strip mall location. Baisi Thai is actually a pretty nice looking one, even though it's clearly run on the cheap. Maybe the food isn't as nice as the pictures, and maybe the portions aren't as big as they let on. The food still tasted better than we thought it would be though. Came at lunch. It was quiet and there was no one else eating inside, which could have been a bad sign. This was also on the weekend. Maybe it's just because of the location. This is on 63rd a ways from the shopping center with Mariano's and stuff. Boring looking area. It's about $11 for an entree. Good prices, cheaper than at many other Thai restaurants apparently. I got the Pad Kee Mao. This is flat rice noodles with basil, garlic, and mixed vegetables. Choose a protein. I got tofu. Good spice but it was a pretty small portion. She got the Pad Thai. Again, small portion. That's why it was so cheap it seems. Better than expected as far as flavor, as it can get pretty hot. It's overall good with the only bad thing about it is they skimp on the portions. There's plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

Was wary because of the overall rating, but saw the portions were big and I was hungry. This place…read moreis excellent, the food came out quickly and tasted excellent. We got the baby egg rolls (good), the chicken satay (really good peanut sauce, mix it with the chili paste), cashew chicken, pad thai with glass noodles, and a plate of fried rice to share. I'm a 100kg powerlifter and can absolutely put it away, and the pad Thai + half of the fried rice was enough for me. I'm visiting from Washington so it's hard to compare this place against (arguably) more "authentic" spots in Seattle, but it hit the spot and I'm happy to have gone. Compared to Washington prices, this place was a steal at $78 for 3 entrees and 2 apps. They had cheesy AI music playing though, which is lame as hell.

We were originally planning to go to the other Asian restaurant in the same plaza but decided to…read moretry this Thai place instead. We were greeted and seated promptly. There were only 2 tables occupied on a Sunday night besides a few people picking up to-go orders. For this visit, I've tried: GREEN CURRY (CHICKEN), PRIK KING (CHICKEN), BASIL EGGPLANT (CHICKEN), PAD KEE MAO (BEEF) and CRAB RANGOON. I liked the flavors of the eggplant dish over the others, but unfortunately, they were all bland. The vegetables were fresh and added the crunchy texture to the dishes. The portions were big enough to share. The place is clean, and the service is pleasant. Would I go back? I'm not sure. We had a lot of leftovers, not because we were full, but because our dishes did not have flavors.
