Bualoy in Devon rocks! The Pad Thai with tofu, broccoli, and carrots was absolutely delicious, tossed in a light, flavorful sauce and cooked to perfection. Grabbed it on an impromptu car lunch stop on the way to the beach, and it ended up being the perfect meal on the go. Chopsticks included. Such a sweet little spot ! read more

This place is amazing! Why is it empty at lunch time? In addition to Thai food, they have specialty Laos dishes. I had the Nam Khao Salad and it was ridiculously good. Crazy delicious. I don't know if I'll ever order anything but this. I can't wait to go back. I also ordered Tom Yum Soup. Delicious. Lots of vegetables. I hear the wonton soup is also special. Tiny little wontons. And don't miss those Laos Specialties. As I said it was empty at lunch time. It's cute inside, friendly staff, delicious food. Family run. Worth the trip. read more

Bualoy Cuisine - Vegetable and tofu Pad Thai Yummy - Laotian Near Me - Devon, Pennsylvania

Delicious food from very friendly people. The ambience is lovely and quiet. Highly recommend!!

Tried this place after taking our kiddo to the playroom next door. Food is super tasty! Some of the best pho we've had, maybe because it reminds me of my mom's, flavorful and fresh. Their other soups have a healthy dose of garlic too, which I love. The Lao sausage is yummy and bursting with lemongrass flavor. I love that the sausage isn't that salty or spicy, and they give you a salty/spicy dipping sauce on the side so you can tweak it to your liking. Prices are average. Seems like a nice place from the outside, we did takeout though. Will definitely be back! read more

Great food, excellent service, calm ambience, elegant decorations. A hidden gem. Most highly recommend. read more

Stopped here for supper still looking for great Thai in Chester County. Some winners here and some not so much. Tom yum soup was a started for my dining partner. They enjoyed it but felt it was a little too sweet and was missing some lemon grass. We also tried the Laotian sausage. This was excellent and enjoyed - nice char, great spicing - but avoided the very spicy condiment. Sticky rice was a $3.50 up charge which I think is excessive so we passed on that. My dining partner was very pleased with the pad Thai, probably the best we have found in Chester County. I ordered the Pad Hi Ma Parn (Cashew) with chicken. I asked for not spicy - I tend to go easy when I am at a new place -I got no spice at all. The sauce was very broth. Vegetables although very fresh were not even close to crisp tender - almost raw - and the chicken was almost nonexistent. The dining room was pleasant; music was of the elevator kind and seemed to play over and over again. The waiter was fine but had limited facility of English so we just punted in a few cases. The crowd at 7 PM on a weekday was grayer than most. read more

Amazing Laotian/Thai food! The Lao sausage and nam kao were delicious. It's so hard to find authentic Lao food in the area and met my expectations. We will be coming back! read more

Pros: Parking. Cons: Recommended Laotian dish was void of flavor and overpriced. Thai dishes were overly salty. Waitstaff was inattentive. read more

Delicious! The drunken noodles was particularly delicious, and I appreciate that it wasn't very greasy. Each dish had a unique flavor profile that complemented the neighboring dishes that were crafted to perfection. We ended the night with mango sticky rice. A delicacy that was like a cherry on top. Service was courteous, and overall, the dining experience was lowkey fancy. I could tell the other guests in the restaurant are regulars, and I understand why. read more

Really great food and service. I've tried almost everything on the menu. It's all good

Everything about this place is wonderful. The staff is so kind, and the food is amazing

Looked up the place in Yelp and wanted to order take out from Bualoy. Called and ordered Thai basil chicken Fried Rice, ordering process was easy and simple. Got a confirmation order that will be ready in 15 minutes. The place is in Lancaster Ave, and it is not easy to enter if you are on opposite lane. There are plenty of parking spots back and some in front. The food was ready as I walked in and was nicely packed with spoon,fork and napkin. They even offered hit oil, which was cool. Coming to the food, as I opened the box, the fried rice had nice flavor and tasted so fresh. The quantity was so filling for a lunch and big kudos for that. The vegetables mixed along with chicken were at the right balance, and basil flavor was oedfectly infused into the rice as well as chicken. The taste was delicious even without adding the hot oil, but the hot oil kicked it to the next level. If you are around, try this place, and wypu will be happy. The price I felt was a little on the high side but worth the quantity of rice and taste !!! read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The special dumplings were so good that I can't wait to eat here again in the future.

Can't recommend this reastaurant enough. Most authentic Southeast Asian cuisine in the area!

Delicious food, attentive service, nice ambiance and comfortably managed 7 people. I will definitely return. Another BYOB!

We absolutely adore this place. Would eat here every single day if we could!! Great place for date night, but good if ya gotta bring them kids too haha bowling alley is right next door to make it a fun family night read more

Tried again recently. Ordered at lunchtime on the weekend. Totally on point! Prompt. Generous portions. Pad thai and curry properly cooked and well-seasoned with balanced flavors and sufficient heat (you can choose from non-spicy, mild, medium, hot and Thai hot). For those who want it, there is a vegetarian option for Pad Thai and the various curries you can order. Chicken wings w sweet Thai chili sauce a real winner. Can't give the place any better compliment other than that the food is overall quite yummy! read more

Bualoy Cuisine - Crisp and delicious! - Laotian Near Me - Devon, Pennsylvania

I ordered the laab with a mango sticky rice for dessert. The mangos at this restaurant were ripe and delicious. Different hosts kindly sat me down, took my order, and checked on me only once (which I appreciate). If you want laos food in a quiet setting and not be bothered this might be a great lunch spot. I didn't order anything crazy to review the food so it gets 2 stars. I might go back once again to try the specialty sausage dish. read more

We ordered takeout the other day for lunch, and all aspects of our visit were quite positive. To start, we checked out the menu online, which denotes gluten-free options - this is great and somewhat rare among Asian restaurants. We called in our order and mentioned that we wanted gluten-free, and a few minutes after placing it, we received a follow-up call because the chef said some of the items we'd ordered aren't gluten-free. That was a nice touch. For our lunch, we ordered Tom Kha, Panang Curry, Pad Thai, and Golden Triangle. Everything had great flavor, in particular the brown sauce for the Golden Triangle and the Tom Kha. Takeout process was pretty good and safe too - I was motioned to open the door, where the staff greeted me with a tablet in hand to process payment, and then he handed me my food. Overall a great experience of Southeast Asian flavors, with some pretty good gluten-free options! read more

This is easily the worst Thai I have ever had in my life. I honestly don't understand the good reviews--but maybe I tried the wrong things! I'm a foodie and I hated it; my mom is NOT a foodie and even she thought it was pretty mediocre--definitely not worth the price. My nicer dad said, "mediocre; probably wouldn't eat there again." We got the bualoy dumplings, drunken noodles, massaman curry, and papaya salad. Bualoy dumplings were good; I enjoyed them, though the flavor was a bit acidic for my taste. Massaman curry was glorified water. It was the consistency of water, and didn't have much more flavor. Veggies in both the curry and the drunken noodles were the chopped frozen ones that you can buy at the grocery store. Pretty nasty. The drunken noodles were the definition of average. Papaya salad was also the definition of average. Think "eh." You eat a mouthful of food, and then wonder if it's really worth the calories. This restaurant is the Kmart of Thai food. read more

Fabulous. I created a Yelp account just so I could review this restaurant. (Long time Tripadvisor user but didn't see a claimed page there for Bualoy.) We got take out chicken pad Thai, spring rolls and Thai idea tea. All was excellent. It has a super chill and welcoming vibe inside. Staff was gracious and welcoming. read more

This place advertises as thai and laos cuisine. The thai food is horrible here. Pad see ewe does not taste like thai pad see ewe. Thai ice tea was too sweet. I couldn't drink it and they didn't even take it off my check the thing that was decent was the bualoy dumplings. Honestly wasn't impressed at all and would pass on this place. read more

Went here for my boyfriend's birthday and it did not disappoint! He's a vegetarian and they had tons of options to choose from. We ordered the spring rolls and golden triangles for an appetizer. Very flavorful. I had the chili wings and they were AMAZING. Very crispy and the chili sauce was lightly sweet. I also ordered the veggie fried rice and it came with fried tofu. The rice was very flavorful as well. My boyfriend ordered the tofu curry, he thought it was really great. Our waitress was so sweet as well! It's a cute little restaurant that's perfect for intimate dinners. We had a very nice night and will definitely be back. read more

I was looking for places to eat when traveling for work and this place stood out on Yelp. It was my first time having Laotian food and I was quite impressed. We started with some appetizers: Thai chili wings, spring rolls, pork satay, and golden triangles. All of them were pretty good, but nothing outstanding in my opinion. Then for entrees we got Nam Khoa Salad and Homemade Laotian Sausage (spicy). Both of them were amazing. The sausage wasn't too spicy. It had a ton of flavor. I wouldn't have usually gotten it, but after reading the Yelp reviews, I had to try it. The salad was a little sweet and the flavors worked perfectly together. I loved the crispy rice. Our food came out fast. They weren't great about refilling our water. They let us split the check which we've had issues with at other restaurants in the area. Overall, I loved the food and I would highly recommend it. read more

Very refined Thai / Laos food that we very much enjoyed. We both had a soup for an appetizer and shared so that we could experience both choices. You get your choice of thinly sliced chicken, vegetables or tofu. The Tom Kah had a light coconut milk in it, which was a nice change from the traditional Tom Kah that I've had and has always been much heavier. The Tom Yum was light and had a perfect hint of lime, with delicious tender mushrooms. For a main meal I had the Larb Gai Salad, and with the request of some additional pieces of lettuce, we ate this like lettuce wraps. The onions and peppers that were in the mixture were shaved very thinly, allowing them to add flavor while also making the mixture easy to eat as wraps. We also shared a shredded cabbage salad that was very flavorful, and some of the most delicious dumplings. The service was attentive, and our server was very personable. And, the prices very extremely reasonable for the high quality. They have several tables outside with umbrellas, so we sat outside on a perfect summer evening. Thank you for the memorable dining experience! Great job! read more

The Thai food was okay, but the pho was not good. I ordered from here since we're trying to find new Thai and Vietnamese places. Based on the reviews, I was expecting to be impressed. The sampler apps were good, but the Thai chicken stir fry was not very tasty and oily. The pho was the worst - it was very salty but missing the multi-layered flavors of a good beef soup base. Also, the broth was a very pale shade of brown which kind of tipped me off on how it maybe off. Like another reviewer said, maybe I just didn't order the right items, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

CURBSIDE SERVICE COVID-19 REVIEW - Bualoy is a Lao restaurant in Devon, PA. It was fairly near Knox Covered Bridge in Valley Forge Historic Park, and the right place to pick up a late lunch to take home. We parked out front and were greeted by a friendly order taker who handed us a paper menu and made good suggestions in response to our inquiry about what they did best. The conversation led to ordering Homemade Laotian Sausage, Nam Khao Salad and spicy Drunken Noodles with Beef. Fifteen minutes later she returned with our neatly packed meal. Arriving home 50 minutes later, the sausage was still warm, the salad cool and the drunkens, hot. We liked all three dishes. The sausage had the interesting flavor of lemongrass, cilantro, onion and ground veggies mixed with pork. It came with a small side of mashed chilli sauce which added a kick. The Nam Khao was cool and hot with special mention to the crushed peanuts that were fried with a mild sweetener that added unusual interest to the dish. The Drunken Noodles were wide rice pasta loaded with green pepper, onion, carrot and sprouts in a three star hot scale brown gravy. Delicious. We can only imagine how much better our meal would have been had we been able to eat in restaurant when everything was right from the kitchen. Still, it was good enough to make a return visit when it is safe to enjoy a sit down right at the source. read more

Tried Laos food for the first time and was not disappointed at all. Their food is SO fresh, not only to the naked eye but you can tell with the first bite. Their green curry is delicious. I like to pair with jasmine rice but they do offer brown. You can find Pho here too! The drunken noodle is also soooo good and the best one I've tried in a long time. read more

I am a previous patron of the former excellent thai restaurant that was at this location. I loved the food at Mayouie (spelling wrong of course). I think they had a following for excellent food that was served with a twist. ;-) I was really hoping that this new restaurant would live up to the hype and be comparable. First of all the servers were excellent! Super friendly and warmly welcoming. We brought wine and samples a few delicious dishes. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious. Everyone was raving about the vegetarian Nom Khao salad that I had to taste it for my self. Let's just say I might go back and have it for lunch today! Such a delicious assortment of crunchy ribbons of vegetables with crispy and soft rice. I picked mine up in the lettuce leaf and ate it like a wrap. It was phenomenal. We shared the appetizer sampler's which was pretty standard. One simple observation was that I felt that the spring roll might have been store-bought, but it was still pretty stander and tasty. The Chicken wings were the winner on this plate. I really enjoyed my pad Thai though. My husband ordered drunken noodles that came out very mild but when he mentioned it, they swept away the dish and quickly tossed them in the wok with more spice. He was very pleased with the end result. The noodles were absolutely delicious. I didn't try the coconut soup which is leaving me feeling like a missed out. The table next to us we're really enjoying theres. The crispy duck that kept on passing by looked so amazing. Perhaps I'll eat that for dinner. Needless to say I will be frequenting this lovely little Laos Thai restaurant. Make sure you call ahead for a table Saturday night was packed. In spite of the crowd the restaurant was quiet and the pace of service perfect. read more
