Calamari
Janice T.

Food was delicious! The service was great as well. We went on Saturday afternoon, I was surprised how slow the day was them but they had a ton of door dash orders so I guess it makes up for it. We ordered papaya salad, shrimp lumpia, spicy calamari and pad see ew. Portions were perfect for one person. The spicy calamari wasn't really spicy, sliced jalapeños were in it but I don't think it really added any heat. The calamari came with a subtle sweet sauce, really tasty. The papaya salad had tomatoes, green beans and peanuts so be aware if you have allergies. The main course pad see ew was delicious!! Perfect sauce, noodle cooked perfectly and enough for 2, imo. This is also a super cute place. The decor was cute and colorful. Perfect place for a group or by yourself to eat. Trendy spot to hang out with friends and eat good food. All in all it was a great place to eat in and everything was perfect.

L3. Drunken Noodle
Eastie T.

Best Panang Curry in the DMV! Wifey frequents this place and I got take out a couple of times. Somehow never tried the Panang curry until today, though the 'Tofu Panang with Thai Spice' is her go-to dish here. And realized this is the best Panang curry I have had in a while and in the area. Drunken noodles were great too! P.S : Pictures from lunch last Friday

Thai friend rice!
Bhavna C.

Thai fried rice.. It's a hole in the wall kind of place. Loved its location and food was yum and very economical. Went twice in the last 2weeks and enjoyed the experience. Will surely go back. Service was amazing. The appetizers were delish too!

Tom Yum Soup 
 (This was ordered "carryout" so this is in my bowl at home)
J E.

While I was in the area I stopped in to get carry-out for dinner. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant has an interesting/homely feel inside. Their menu is pretty big and laid out nicely in many categories. I opted for some chicken KaProw, Chicken Pad See Ew, Chicken Basil Fried Rice, and Chicken Tom Yum and I have to say that it was all outstanding! The soup was one of the best I've had, the broth had a really nice, fresh, lemony flavor from the lemon grass (unfortunately, there was a couple of large piece of lemongrass stalk in the soup, but it was easy to spot and remove) and the spice level was excellent! The flavors of the stir fried items was spot-on and had that "flame kissed" flavoring to them. Definitely would recommend stopping in... Really good Thai eats here!!

A4. Bikini Shrimp (5 pieces)
Trendy D.

This place is really good!! I live the idea of the different bento style boxes. I got the Chicken Drunken Noodle Box and Bikini shrimp. Wasn't a huge fan of the bikini shrimp but I loved everything else. The box gives you a variety of options to try which I love. Service is a bit slow and I went on a Thursday night. It seems there's not enough staff for the demand. Also, it's not a huge place, most people ordered out. I'll be back. Affordable and tasty. My meal was $23

Thai Beef Jerky
Mary C.

Our appetizer was amazing, especially the sauce. Thai beef jerky was delicious! I tried the chicken Kaprow box to sample a couple of different items, and it was great! This was our first time, and we know we will be back. Prices are very reasonable and the food is great! What more could you ask for?

Cashew chicken

I got impressed every time coming to Bua and the food quality has been very consistently. Cashew chicken and Kaprow pork belly is highly recommended.

We ate at this location with the previous restaurant and decided to try the new restaurant for lunch. My son ordered Duck Curry and I ordered a Drunken Noodle Box. They were both very good. I love Thai so I am a bit picky. Everything we had was better than I expected. Very good flavor. Good portion size. The owner took the time to speak to us about his food and restaurant. That says a great deal about a restaurant!! They are now on my short list of good local restaurants. Give them a try. You will leave happy.

Thai Iced Tea
Christopher S.

LEESBURG, VA 05/23/20 TAKE-OUT DINNER +Free Thai Iced Tea with Yelp check-in. +They offer the Thai spice rack in to-go containers. +Curbside take-out behind the restaurant. +The meat portions are huge. -Monosodium glutamate (MSG) overload. Get ready to go to sleep right after eating. -The dishes had too much grease and oil, to my liking. -The to-go containers aren't too sturdy and leak. -All my stir-fry entrees were basically containers of soup. What we ordered: '1 Pad Kana Moo Krob (Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli) 13.95 '1 Thai Famous Kaprow (minced chicken) 13.95 '1 Chicken Satay 6.95 Overall, the presence of MSG disappointed me and the fact that my stir-fry dishes were filled to the brim with liquid. Also, the quality of the meats were not all that great but it explains the price points for some of the dishes. On the plus side, they do offer special items, as well as, chef specialties. With some operational and cuisine improvements, I would not mind giving them another shot down the road. Let me know what y'all think, so that I can up my Thai game.

I rate restaurants within their category and concept. I am not comparing a casual neighborhood Thai…read morerestaurant to a Michelin star dining experience. If a place delivers flavorful food, solid execution, and a meal that makes you want to come back, that earns a strong rating from me. We recently visited Patama Thai Kitchen and had a very enjoyable meal overall. The pho was good, comforting, and satisfying. The broth had nice flavor and made for a solid start to the meal. The beef and broccoli was also well done. The beef was tender, the vegetables were cooked properly, and the dish came together nicely without being overly heavy. The fried rice was enjoyable, though in my opinion it could have used just a touch more seasoning to really make it pop. Still a good dish, just one small adjustment away from being excellent. The Yum Yum noodles were one of the highlights of the meal. They were very good, light, flavorful, and had a nice balance that kept the dish from feeling overly rich. Overall, this was a very solid experience with multiple dishes we enjoyed and no major misses. That is always a good sign. A solid 4 stars from me, and we will definitely be going back.

All their dishes are authentic, taste good, and good portions!! We love their drunken noodles,…read morechicken curry, and pad Thai!!!

Hhmmmm. Spring rolls were ok. Were they made to order? I'm not so sure and I wished for more flavor.

Visiting from Orange County, CA and was thrilled to see a combo Thai/Sushi spot in this really hip…read morepart of Leesburg where everything is local, just the way I like it and this great place is a reminder why we need more areas that appreciate local businesses! I tried out their Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp and it would stand toe to toe to any of the best spots I've had in OC with the perfect texture on the noodles and right balance of flavors. The Thai wings were crispy but succulent on the inside and the Toro sushi roll was SOLID with the freshness of the fish and right balance of rice/fish. The place itself had a nice feel to it since it was in the corner of a street so you get to see a lot of folks walk by in this busy area as the natural light illuminates the inside of the place. The service was wonderful; the server I spoke with was super friendly as she talked about the neighborhood and the general area itself which was such a nice personal touch with my meal. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!

I'm very disappointed with the service we received at this restaurant. We waited over an hour for…read moreour food, and after such a long wait, I requested to cancel the order. A waitress then came out with the food and told us that because of the delay, we would not have to pay for the meal. We still felt bad and offered to at least pay for our drinks, which she agreed to. About 30 minutes later, the owner came out and suddenly told us we still had to pay for the food because we ate it. We calmly tried to explain what the waitress had told us and even asked if she could bring the waitress out to clear up the misunderstanding, but she never came out. Instead of listening or trying to handle the situation professionally, the owner was rude, confrontational, and dismissive. What's most disappointing is that I had been here before and kept trying to give this place another chance because they are still fairly new. Unfortunately, I never received good service, and this experience was the last straw. They completely lost me as a customer. I would have appreciated it if the owner had simply spoken respectfully and handled the situation better. It's sad to see small businesses fail because of poor customer service and bad management.
