The dumplings and yellow chicken curry was great! The people who worked there are very friendly! It was a great experience

Bua seems to be one of the few Thai places in Colorado that's authentic and delicious. We tested the theory, and can confirm the hypothesis is correct. We ordered the pad see ew and green curry, and were blown away by the flavors. Even the way the vegetables were cut and seasoned made each bite feel perfectly balanced. Not pictured: the tom kha, which was creamy, bright, and beautifully balanced. If you're a spice veteran, I recommend level 5 (Thai spicy). The interior and AC ducts could use some love and cleaning, and while the service was fine, it wasn't particularly warm or enthusiastic. But the food? Absolutely worth it. read more

One of the few good authentic Thai restaurants! Thank goodness it's nearby. I've only ordered take-out and it's only been pad thai. Had this weird craving for just that and they did not disappoint!!! Love that they are already on point with how long it'll take. I did not wait long when I went to pick up. Don't worry about parking as there are ample, since it's in a "mall" lot. The place had an authentic feeling and decor, looks clean and spacious. I've ordered about 3-4 times and they were all delicious! Definitely hit the spot every time. Chicken pad thai, spice level 3. Let me tell you, their spice level is no joke! Even level 3 was spicy....to me!! It's good stuff. Will definitely come back if I crave pad thai again or any thai dishes! read more

Ordered 3 lunch sets and spring rolls. The spring rolls were nice. The pad see ew and drunken noodles were almost the same, no wok hei at all. The curry base was ok but the tofu were dried and very hard. Seemed they were not freshly deep fried. I circled the tip (% and amount) I wanted to pay on the receipt but it has been charged after tax when a waitress used a device for the credit card payment. So I can see the tip $ is higher than I circled on the receipt. read more

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. read more

We went for lunch and ordered dumplings and edamame, both very good. For our entrees we ordered pad Thai, Rama Long Song, and yellow curry with shrimp. All was very good and we will definitely go back and order it all again, except the shrimp was a bit overdone so we would get chicken. Super delicious read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday around 6p. We came just in time as soon as our food came, there was a wait to be seated. What we swallowed: *FRIED PORK: Delicious. Crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. Addicting. *SATAY CHICKEN: There was some type of curry spice the kids didn't like/ *TOM KHA: Fresh ingredients and the broth was wonderful *CRAB FRIED RICE: I will order this hands down every time I see it on the menu and this dish was delicious *PENANG CURRY WITH FRIED PORK: This dish was a bit salty but the curry was delicious *RED CURRY: This was also a great dish. We really like eating here and I especially loved my crab fried rice. Servers were nice and the place was clean. We would come back. read more

Denver has quite a few really good Thai restaurants and Bua is definitely one of the best. Everything was good, the Mee Knob appetizer was seriously great. read more

Neither the service or the food was up to the previous standard. I was disappointed. I wondered if there had been a change in owners but it appears not. Sad. read more

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. read more

My hubby and I had an amazing lunch here! I ordered the 3 Flavor Fish, and it was tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with spicy sauce, veggies, and pineapple. My hubby's Pad Thai was cooked to perfection--the peanut sauce and noodles were spot on. Lunch came with a tasty vegetable soup, and we also loved the Thai tea. The atmosphere was cozy with beautiful Thai artwork, which made it unique. The light fixtures could use a little dusting, but overall the space had good lighting and felt inviting. Service was great too--our waitress was attentive and quick with drink refills. Out of the many Thai restaurants I've tried, this one tasted more authentic than most. If you're in Aurora, definitely give it a try! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have been back a number of times either for to-go or dine in. However, today will be my last time ever to return. I noticed over the years the girls who run the counter for to-go orders just don't care and they certainly act like it. What's even worse is quality of food wildly sways. Sometimes you get the perfect amount of sauce and flavor. Other times you wonder if the chef was just sleeping. Today's visit happened to sway the other way. They decided to throw salt bombs on a nuclear level on both my tom kha soup and drunken noodles. On top of that service was horrible. Girl in the white shirt just didn't check on me the entire time and I sat there staring at the entire staff after 3 bites of my salt soaked drunken noodles. The waitress came by and tried to say the soup is more salty if I ask for medium spice. Never heard of that before! You also never checked on me and tried to refill my glass at the end of the meal when you never dropped by to see how everything was. Instead, you sheepishly apologized rather than offered to even remake the noodles. I know they are under new management but this level of service and quality is absurd. Quality and lack of service have gone off the deep end. At least the place looks inviting to wait for the next sucker. Oh well. read more

Was craving curry on a rainy day, and this place seemingly always comes up on the short list when Thai food in Aurora comes up. I can now say that's with good reason. Place was clean and welcoming, although the seats on the available booths had seed better days. (They were torn in a few spots.) No matter, we were there to eat! We got skinny shrimp roll app that was mighty tasty. I got panang curry with chicken, and it was damn tasty! (Heat scale goes to 6, I got a 4, and it was literally eye watering. Five would have been inedible for me, and I tend to like a decent bit of heat. GF's dish was veggies and tofu in a peanut sauce and that was also delicious! Menu is HUGE, so I don't know that I'll ever work through it, but I'll happily try as this place now has a spot in my rotation for sure. read more

My go-to Thai place in Aurora. Everything I've tried from here has been solid - pad thai, pad see ew, pad kee mao, khao soi, chicken satay, crab cheese wontons, tod mun pla, green curry, grilled beef salad, larb, thai tea, mango sticky rice. As you can tell from above, I frequent this place whenever I am craving Thai food. I have never had anything bad from here, but don't expect it to be the best Thai food you've ever had either. I usually do takeout, but they do have plenty of parking and seating if you want to have a dinner with friends. Staff are nice and service is great. read more

Totally forgot to take a picture buttttt, one of the best green curry dishes I have ever had. Large servings of rice and curry served in fun dish! Service was hands off but overall no complaint read more

Food is outstanding. Huge menu! Have not been here in about 15 years (moved further away). It's a large dining room, which wasn't very busy, but we went at off peak hours. Service was a tad slow, but delicious. Area is a little run-down but I would go back and recommend for authentic Thai. read more

This was always our go to Thai restaurant as the food was always great. Over the last 3 or 4 visits, the staff have been so miserable and forget to bring dishes and just inattentive. Tonight the food was so salty and again the staff were too engaged chatting with each other. Afraid we will have to go elsewhere and given how quiet it was, I suspect others have done the same. read more

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. read more

avoid the mango chicken curry. that was the worst tasting thing i've had in years. this place is usually good and would get 4 stars cuz the noodle dishes and everything else are solid, but the curries have all been such a miss. the yellow curry has the completely wrong veggies from any other you've ever had, which kinda ruins it. but wow the mango chicken curry went straight into my trash can. read more

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 :) read more

First time tasting Thai food. Delicious food. We had appetizers and Pad Thai with chicken was my choice for an entree and not too spicy. We had a pot of hot lavender tea. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant was clean. They had a lot of take-out customers. Bathrooms were in need of a deep clean. Parking is in a lot. We will definitely be back! read more

Awesome food and love the atmosphere. Let me tell you though, if you can't handle hot make sure you get the mild hahaha. Sat quick and ate like a king. Would definitely go back and have multiple times. read more

They aren't the same the last few years and keep going down hill in quality and attention to detail. Last time we ordered dinner here my dish, while mild enough, was actually in a pool of oil. It was inedible. I tried my husbands dinner and his wasn't well prepared either. I will look for other options in the area and give them some time to fix issues. They were amazing so I'm rooting for them! read more

I've dined here multiple times and have always left with food coma so I never get to post a review about how good this place is. Everything I've tried on their menu is great. Some of my favs are the crispy noodle salad, khao soi, pad thai, woon sen salad, massaman curry, etc. Their Thai tea is on a sweeter side so I like to enjoy it to-go for dessert. Service is always prompt and friendly. Nice and clean restaurant. Easy to find location with plenty of parking. Definitely a must try if you're in the area and have a hankering for some tasty Thai dishes. read more

Took some family members here who came to visit and we all enjoyed our meals. Fantastic meal. Quick service. Restaurant was clearly busy prior to us coming in as there were many tables not cleared yet. Staff was friendly and efficient. Kept the drinks full. Meal was served to temp and very delicious. 4 stars due to restaurant not being as clean as could have been and also was absolutely freezing in their. Will definitely be back as menu options were plentiful and what we had was all delicious. Makes me want to try other options. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant. Nothing compares to Bua Thai. Bua Thai is always there when ya need them. Especially during the shutdown, which I would like to give them big props for. I would order takeout multiple times a week and certain days they'd be pretty slammed, however, the food was always worth the wait. Dining in is a treat. The interior is beautifully decorated and a nice place for a more intimate meal. The peaceful music is the cherry on top. Everything they do is well thought out and catered towards the customer. The dishware and food presentation is exquisite and authentic. Vegetable basil fried rice. It's to die for. Crab cheese wontons. To DIE for. Best I've ever had. It's hard for me to branch out and try other dishes because their fried rice is so good. Maybe next time.. maybe. The servings are two meals for me and their pricing is very reasonable as well. For lunch, they offer even cheaper specials and you still get a ton of food. There is literally no competition. This is the best Thai restaurant in Colorado. read more

The food was amazing and the service was great! I ordered the Thai Basil with chicken & boo ordered spicy noodles with beef. We both got spice level 3 and were very happy with our meals. I would definitely make this my go-to Thai place if I lived in the area. read more

Very good restaurant. I have been a regular customer for two years. The employees are polite and helpful; the booths are comfortable; the atmosphere is relaxed and I feel "at home" here; the food is excellent with great seasonings and sauces - I love the drunken noodles, pad thai and thai basil (all with chicken). There have been a couple of times when the food was not quite as spicy as I like it - but it still tasted very good. read more

First off I love Asian food more then anything else. Just stopped in on our way through and loved it. Their menu is very large and somewhat overwhelming (But that's a good thing) My wife got the Honey Chicken and said it was delicious (10/10) very large potion. She is not huge on spice but likes just a little, she did level 2 spice which was Perfect. She also got a honeydew boba and really enjoyed it. I got the panang chicken curry. Which I loved. Again I love Asian food so I like spice and can do quite a bit, however I'm not one of those crazy people who go extreme with spice. All that to say I did a 3/6 on spice but wish I did a 4/6. Again all in all loved this place, great atmosphere and the service was very good. read more

Alright, so Bua Thai has completely redeemed themselves. My husband and I went here four years ago and loved the food but the service was crap. I vowed that next time I came here it would be to go and that's what happened today. That's the way to go!! Obviously I can't say what the service is like four years later but everything today was perfection! They have online ordering and bruh, their menu is huge! I like my standard pad thai (because I'm afraid if I order something else I dig like curry, I'll get FOMO) but I want to explore other items on their menu. The pad Thai was hearty, flavorful with just enough spice and I barely put a dent in half of my order. My husband said his drunken noodles were bomb.com (ok not his words but I'm writing this on Thursday so it's all TBT in my world). Bua Thai has won us over but I think we are still going to dip our toes in the water and continue to order to go for now. read more

All things were so good! Staff is friendly and was pretty timely with service! The space is big but was fairly empty on a weekday at lunch time. Food overall was good! I do think their spice scale is a bit spicier than others (I am not good with spice and usually order very low) and I still thought it was too spicy for my taste, even ordering a 2! Next time I will go with no spice to be safe! read more

I had the red curry and it was tasty. It had more of a black pepper flavor than I'm am used to, but I liked it. I told the server that I like things spicy and she recommended a level 4. I could definitely have gone higher, but that's ok. I went there for lunch and it was one of the specials so it came with a lovely soup to start. It was plenty of food and kept me going throughout the afternoon. I would certainly return here for Thai again. read more

Bua Thai Restaurant - Red Curry- delicious! - Thai Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

"Bua" the sacred Lotus flower of the Thai people deserves a well upgrade to 5 stardom. I've been here off and on for about 15 times now because it's conveniently located off of I-225. Yes the generic Pad Thai and the curries are great here but once your ready to venture out a bit look further back on the menu category called Isan (NE region) and many other stir fried dishes. One of my favorite dishes the Kao Soi which I will focus on today. It's listed under (Noodle Soup - Kao Soi) is a Chicken stewed in Northen Thai-style golden curry with egg noodles, topped with deep-fried crispy egg noodles, green onion, cilantro, served with shredded lettuce, shallots, lime and fried chilis. Khao Soi - according to Wikipedia is a (Chin-Haw) dish a group of people from Yunnan China who migrated to Northern Thailand due to wars and lost rebellions. They are majority Han Chinese but also consist of Hui People who are Chinese Muslims. The culinary mix of Persian, Chinese, Laotian, Burmese, and Thai brings euphoria to your palate. Now with that said, its time to put down the phone and order me some Bua, again. read more

My first experience was 5 stars. Second time I came here on 3/4/22 2pm our service was so bad. I had to waived down our server to pay for our meal she ignored us and it took a while before we got the attention of another employee. I got the drunken noodles and it was delicious, however the pad Thai is not very tasteful and is very bland and would not recommend. Probably not going back here due to awful service. read more
