    I love ordering their green curry. It's my go to dish. I haven't really ventured into other dishes since for Thai food I usually order either the curry for pad see ew. The curry is always so flavorful and delicious. I personally don't think it's too spicy at level 3 but to each their own. I love spicy food so it was mild for me. They give you a good portion of food and rice.

    Bua is beautiful inside and the staff is so friendly! What a nice dinner on a cold snowy Colorado night. The beef pad see ew is PERFECT, like truly fantastic, I just wish it came in a 9×13 tray so I could eat just this for a week straight lol. The chicken satay was nice too. Really warm and inviting space you should definitely come check out for local Thai food.

    Tom kha soup with tofu

    Food is ok and it took a while for the food to come. I did enjoy the decor and ambience though. The tom kha soup was not bad, but I've had much better at other places. It came out first and then took about another 15-20min before the drunken noodles came. Was expecting much more flavor in the drunken noodles, but was disappointed it mostly tasted smoky or burnt. The menu is huge though. Maybe I'll come back and try some other dishes.

    This is a pretty restaurant and is very clean. We came to celebrate a birthday, and they accommodated a large party with ease. The food is made fresh and they serve quickly. Normally I can get my curry hot, but this time it was too hot for me to fully enjoy. Their rangoons are delish! Please note, they do not sell alcohol. Their Thai tea is very good. Compliments the curry nicely.

    I have been coming to this business for many years. Although I have had many issues with them messing up my dish. When I order I am very straight forward how I want my meal prepared. I have been eating thai food for many years like 15 plus so I know thai dishes. I order the same chicken noodle soup every time. I was paying extra to add veggies to my dish, I then noticed the same dish on the menu with veggies so I stared to order that instead because it had veggies already. Why pay extra? Also the dish was $2 cheaper. Fast forward to my next visit they all of a sudden changed the menu and updated the pricing. Which is fine! So I came in a few times more and they have messed up my soup! So I told them the soup was not correct. It appeared the waiter had an attitude, she bought out the owner and I just was not in the mood to go back and forth so I just left. I decided to return because I really like this place when the food is right. Last 2-3 times soup was perfect, no issues. So today I come in and order my soup as I always do and the waiter brings out the machine to my table and asks me to pay upfront before they make my food? I always done in!! She says last time you were here you did not leave a tip? Why would I leave a tip for bad service and you messed up my soup? I have given this place many chances even after they have messed up my dish many times over the years. Today was the last straw! What place do you go to eat and the waiter asks you to pay upfront because you did not leave a tip on a previous visit? I even asked for the owner because I have talked to him many times, she said he was not there. 3min later I see him walk out the kitchen? So he was there you just did not want to get him.

    This place keeps getting better! We recently tried two appetizers and they did not disappoint! The crab cheese wontons are perfectly crisp and seasoned to perfection and the sauce it comes with is absolutely delicious. The shrimp fresh rolls are light and refreshing and the peanut sauce tastes better than any other i've tried. These will be a must every time we come from now on! And not to forget the service is always fast and friendly :)

    Decided to order to-go since it was quite busy. We came during lunch so received their lunch portion at a discounted price which was nice and not too small. I've been all around Thailand and this food tasted very similar to the authentic food you get over seas. They forgot utensils but wasn't a big deal since I had some at home. I'd like to try out this place again during dinner.

    TOP TIER…read more First time and we were NOT disappointed . Our server was extremely attentive and walked us through the menu. He even gave us a little history about the restaurants 30 year history of being in that exact same spot. BONUS: Your meal is discounted if you pay cash!!!

    Food: Fresh, great portion, tasty and authentic in my humble opinion. They served me with…read morecomplimentary dumpling that is perfect size & tasty tender pork with perfect seasoning. The complimentary ginger ale is aid me so much for good digestion. They are so generous & give me a to go cup as well! Shrimp Spring rolls is in good portion (6 pieces) for $6! And the sauce is in well blended taste & texture. Pho is in tasty not too salty or sweet broth. Not oily either. Plenty of brisket, tendon, tripe & meatball. Plus, a lot of side Thai basil & bean sprouts. Beyond expectation! Service: 6/5 stars service. Very attentive, fast, just complement for ginger ale then you get to go cup on your way out. I wishes all of the restaurant still train her staffs this level of 20% worth the tips. Ambiance: Lots of plants, kind of remind me of lazy susan, fine dinning Chinese restaurant where my parents dragged me along to meet up with their friends once a month atmosphere. Vintage, nostalgia & classy vibes with a fish tank( for good Fortune). Over all: 10% off for cash pay. If you are looking for an old school, well established & impressive service with authentic Vietnamese & unbeatable value please discard the cover of this old book. It really a hidden gems of authentic Vietnamese foods in Aurora.

    It's been a long time coming but Dan Da is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Colorado…read moreand probably in the US. When you think of Vietnamese, Americans tend to think of Pho, noodle bowls and lemongrass chicken but we need more places the focuses in home cooking and dishes that locals eat. Ingredients are fresh and dishes pack a powerful flavor bomb...I mean wow! The use of shrimp paste and other traditional ingredients really elevate flavors that many Americans are not used to, but you have to try it to understand. Their claypots are a must order and with a side of rice....you'll be eating for days! The star of the night was the pork and calamari claypot which is cooked in shrimp paste and your favorite Vietnamese spices and herbs. You'll finish bowls of rice with this dish, it packs so much flavor that you'll be wanting more. It's a great mix of salty, sweet and umami from the fermented shrimp paste. The Vietnamese curry was thick and packed with succulent shrimp. The veggies at a very nice brightness to balance out the coconut milk. The last dish we had was a shrimp lemon grass in the clay pot and that was also a hit with everyone! Service is amazing and they definitely know how to recommend dishes to match your taste buds. They went out of the way to help everyone and it shows. If you need a new spot, check Dan Da!

    I am sad I cannot give Dan Da a higher rating. It is truly my favorite restaurant in town, and…read morealways exceeds expectations, but tonight it went to a whole new level. I had two dishes I had never had before (Bò Kho, I believe, and Bún Chả), and each was a totally new experience and amazing. As always the hospitality is great and the ambiance has stayed fresh. A must dine at (and then again and again)!
