This place was delicious! I always get pad Thai when we get Thai food, this time the waitress suggested I try something different- so I had a delicious dish with fried chicken- which was very flavorful and crispy! My boyfriend had the heaven fried rice- portions were pretty generous for us too! She brought out different sauces out for us to try- we had the chicken satay for appetizer, and that was delicious as well! Service was great- attentive, suggestions were great, you could tell they knew the menu. Overall a great place to eat, friendly and attentive! read more

Quick, friendly service. Excellent food. They took all standard COVID-19 precautions.

Besides the restaurant being a little chilly, they had good food and clean restrooms...all you need to know. read more

Have been here a few times inside (pre covid) and had a few deliveries. Always consistent and wonderful, thank you!

Super good Thai, has a unique taste in a good way. Their chicken is really good. We have pad ke mow, red curry and our toddler had the fried rice. Definitely have to come back! read more

Very good! We enjoyed the sampler (especially the Chicken Dumplings and Crab Rangoon). The Fried Chicken Wings and kid's Noodles with Chicken were a little bland. The brown rice was also a little odd (had black beans in it). However, the Yellow Chicken Curry was AMAZING! We'll definitely return! read more

I ordered Pad Kee Mao and requested it spicy. Like, really spicy. Halfway through eating it two hobbits walked up and threw a ring in my dinner. 10/10. read more

I was skeptical of a food place in a strip mall but Bua Thai has won me over. The food is always fresh and high quality with great flavor. The service is great and the staff are friendly & accommodating. We have brought friends here who are now fans as well. They are definitely a regular 'go to' for us! read more

We've gone to this place a handful of times because we live so close. The first experience wasn't too bad. Another time we walked over and ordered to-go. We literally waited at least an hour for our food. We probably would've been served quicker if we just ate there. Each time we've done take out, the portions seemed so small. I even ordered extra chicken the next time to see if it'd help make the portion size larger, it didn't. I was really hoping to like this place since it's so close to us. The one thing I did like was their Thai coffee. That was yummy! read more

We've been a few times and tried a different dish each time. All were very good. Service was excellent. Looking forward to trying new menu items. read more

...this place was cheap, fresh and delicious. It was the first time I've seen my wife and 4 yr old daughter finish all their food, and then some... we'll be regular's here. read more

I've only ever taken food to-go from here but have consistently been impressed! Orders are prepared quickly and service is excellent with friendly conversation every time I pick up. The only reason for 4 stars was due to my husband's pretty strong dislike of cashew chicken he ordered. We asked for 2 stars on his food and he found it nearly inedible because it was so spicy. read more

I thought I would try the Crispy Orange Chicken and that was a mistake. 1) it was not crispy 2) the chicken was mushy and trenched in a cream that was suppose to taste orange but just tasted like I was eating a mushy orange peel and 3) I could have gotten a better chicken dish from the Safeway Chinese food. The rice was good though. If you eat here just stick to the curry and Phad Thai that's about all they can cook. read more

2nd day of their soft opening! Good food, very nice servers! Worth the 30-40 minute wait! I'm sure with time, this place will be better :)

Everything was just poor quality. Veggies were definitely frozen, chicken was dry and tasted like it had been precooked hours before. Won't be back read more

This is one of the best Thai restaurants around. Their pick up readiness is great. They are very friendly. Give them your support. Especially right now! read more

Food is good, service is slow and food doesn't seem to come out in order of when orders have been placed either of the times we were in there. I don't recommend the chicken wing appetizers, flavorless and greasy. If you like to plan on leftovers you'll want to order extra. Serving sizes are not what I've seen at most noodle houses. read more

At first I thought inside the restaurant was really small but was very surprised and so happy to see that we were able to have our post graduation dinner celebration there with our 11-people group! Great food and AMAZING pad Thai!! read more

I've had nothing but amazing experiences here! The food is delicious, and they have great portion sizes for the money. They also have extremely fast service! The staff are always very attentive and responsive. read more

We ordered from BUA Thai on my birthday a two weeks ago. I was so surprised to find good Thai food in Lake Stevens! The garlic chicken was full of flavor. The yellow curry was DELICIOUS! I took one star off because the pad thai was a letdown. I will definitely be ordering from them again. read more

We are new to the area and decided to check this place out since it was close to home. We ordered the crab fried rice, chicken pad thai and beef/vegetable dish. The portions were large and the food was very good. Staff was friendly and we got our food in a decent amount of time. Will definitely go back! read more

The food, service, atmosphere, and vegan options are absolutely amazing! Definitely our favorite Thai place, for sure! We cannot possibly recommend this place enough! read more

By far my favorite Thai restaurant in and around Lake Stevens. Food is always delicious and fresh, and a plus: all their curry dishes are vegan unless you add meat! read more

Had it's soft opening today. I will update my review once they have been open a bit longer, but today wasn't great. The servers were very nice, but I had to ask for water several times. It wasn't busy when we went in, but two entrees took nearly an hour and a half to come out. They were out of several things (understandable, they don't know how much to keep in stock yet) but out of all things to be out of, white rice seemed odd. The cucumber sake is really good and refreshing. The chicken in my zesty ginger stir fry was really good, but bits of it were dry. We'll be back soon with an updated review! read more

I really like this place, because they have so many choices for the menu than another restaurant doesn't have. I tried their curry noodles, it was so good and my friend tried the Tom kha. We ordered mango sticky rice for dessert. Service was nice! I love this place. :) read more

This place is LEGIT! So glad that it is in the neighborhood. Feels a little funny getting takeout from the same parking lot as a gas station but a true gem in Lake Stevens. read more

Food is amazing here. The Panama Curry is the best I have had in this area. My wife and I have been here a couple of times and is impressed everyone . The staff is always friendly and very polite, service is spot on! We have found a new favorite restaurant. read more

Please stop serving over priced, stale, left over food. Chicken was dry and hard to chew. Clearly frozen peas and carrots...peas were still hard. Very underwhelming and mediocre. read more

This is my go to restaurant in Lake Stevens. The service is always friendly and the food is incredible. I usually get the tofu curry with rice and the salad rolls. My daughter loves the Pad Thai. read more

This Thai Food addition to Lake Stevens is wonderful! We have eaten several meals here and I've been remiss is letting others know just how much we've enjoyed the food and service. The Fried Brussel Sproutd, which really are sauteed, are indesrcribely delicious! BUA is very accommodating in substitutions as well. read more

So good! I had the Tom Kha Gai soup, 1 star, with chicken, and my husband had the Pineapple Curry medium star. My husband said he wouldn't have wanted it any spicier, and mine was perfection. Nice and light, as I wasn't starving. Both had flavors that popped--delish! The Thai Ice Tea was different, but my husband liked it. Service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was nice. read more

Delicious food! Have ordered take out three times now and everything we've had has been great. Especially the peanut sauce curry. Also the spicy is quite spicy which I love! read more

This is my favorite Thai place in Lake Stevens. Great for and a super friendly staff.

Sooo good and fresh! Delicious flavors and all freshly made. Just as good as Thai in Seattle!

Authentic and very tasty. Thought we would give Thai place a try as we are new to the area. I had drove past it a few times, noticed the yelp rating were pretty good. Tonight we had the appetizer sample of spring rolls, crab wontons, prawn wraps etc. I was worried they might be greasy but they were excellent. They come with a couple of sauces. We had had for main courses the chicken pad Thai which was very good and also the red curry with prawns 3 stars. Perfectly spiced and creamy. I opted for the brown rice with black beans to go with the curry instead of the jasmine. I would highly recommend. Service was efficient. Staff was pleasant. Got a to go menu on the way out. Will be back. Thanks. read more

Hands down best Thai food I've had, and I've had a lot of Thai. On the menu tonight for us was Tom Yum soup, Pineapple Curry, Hell Spicy Fried Rice, and mango sticky rice for dessert. All were served by a sweet and friendly staff in a relaxing ambiance. Can't wait to come back! read more

They have the best beef noodle soup on Lake Stevens. The fresh rolls with peanut sauce is pretty great also.

We finally remember to go to this place to eat, and we were impressed (young kids too). Everything looked and tasted so good. We started with the Crab Ragoon and Chicken potstickers, which were above average. They came out HOT and fast (and my 6 year old and 8 year old loved them). The Thai Hot Basil chicken was very good with a unique great flavor (and we ordered it a medium spicy). I personally loved the Pad Thai Chicken, but wished there was more meat. The kiddos got the Beef Pad See Ew, but they really only ate the beef and veggies, as the noodles were a lot larger than they normally see (it wasn't the type of noodle dish that should've been recommend for kids). Overall, everyone loved it and we all shared everything, family style: A- (would've gotten an A+ but the kids noodle dish wasn't exactly noodles, but larger broken chunky noodles, but they were very good). **Most of the customers that came in there, while we ate, had to-go, take-out orders. Great place to eat and so close. Beats any local teriyaki... **if they have added a simple kids menu (like noodles / veggies / meat) then even better. read more

My wife found it by happenstance. I was honestly reluctant. We sat down and had our appetizers in 5-10 minutes. My wife doesn't like prawns, but I do. I ordered coconut prawns as a starter. She tried them and fell in love (never happened, in 15 years I've known her). The entrees came and were equally as delicious. The service was wonderful. We will be back. Awesome food, staff and location. Give them a try. read more

Have always been pleased with the food and service. The employees are very kind and the food is delicious. One of my go-to's in Lake Stevens. read more
