    Buba Kitchen is a quaint noodle shop right on Main. The food is so crave worthy. Service is friendly and efficient. The bao buns are pillowy and delicious. The different ramens and soups are so flavorful and delicious. We have been in a few times, and loved everything we've tried. We can't recommend this place enough.

    Spicy Japanese ramen was amazing--rich broth, perfect heat, and super fresh ingredients. Cozy spot, great service. Will definitely be back!

    This is one of the best pho places I have ever been to. In Concord, New Hampshire, it is the best, and in Manchester, New Hampshire, it is one of the best restaurants. Both locations are truly amazing, and it is by far one of the best foods. It is always my go-to place. I will say that the service here is amazing. They are respectful, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, they are amazing. As for the ambiance, it is truly breathtaking. The presentation of the food is also amazing. They have great service, great ambiance, and everything is amazing.

    This place is like your first real boyfriend. It's perfectly fine, and it satisfies many things that have been missing from your life up until now, but inevitably it fails to be complete, simply due to immaturity and not through any fault of its own. The cuisine is his charm, the menu is his intoxicating laugh, but the food falls short like your feelings for each other after the honeymoon phase. Let me elaborate. I love the concept: Asian-fusion in Concord, NH, a place where the only thing more predictable than a lack of night life is the lack of culinary diversity. Suddenly, Buba is offering Concord its inaugural baos, pho, udon, and other East-Asian dishes I dare not pronounce. They've cornered the market, our inexperienced taste buds are salivating, millennial are delighted. What is there not to love? After a shopping spree nextdoor - at Runner's Alley, get your mind out of the gutter - my mother and I ventured in, promised a table for 2 after a brief wait. Fully packed at 6pm on a Sunday? Go Buba! A brief inspection of the menu yielded one conclusion, we must order as if we had 4 stomachs. She wanted the Bo Tai Chanh, I wanted a pork belly bao. She wanted a pho, I wanted the yak udon. Compromise usually leaves at least one party disappointed, so we avoided it and ordered all of the above. Our stomachs growling and our taste buds tingling, and our brains promised an Asian-fusion wave of happiness, we waited for Buba to give us the perfect dining experience we selfishly desired. The Bo Tai Chanh was unique. I've never had it before, and I quite liked it! Spread onto a lettuce wrap or rice, it would be a satisfying meal in and of itself. The bao, pho, and yaki udon, however, were all good and that was it. The pork belly was average in preparation, and could've had more sauce or depth of flavor. The pho was indeed pho, but the broth did not instantly conjure up images of marrow-laden bones being simmered for 24 hours before being used to cook tender cuts of beef. The yaki udon was toothsome and sweet, but below the surface lacked any complexity that would implore me to want more. The one real winner was the bone marrow sate that came with the pho, if they sold that in jars, my sauce cabinet would be complete. I'd recommend going and seeing what you like. The dishes are fun, and they add a flavor that the area has eternally lacked. However, don't expect more than the allure Buba initially presents. It offers the cuisine we have lacked for so long, but sadly is not the place I will go to truly indulge in East-Asian flavors.

    Food is so tasty. I like PHO the most out of all the menu. Their service is friendly. There is nice view to able see outside to see what is going on.

    Stumbled in here to see what all the fuss what about! Place was full which was a good sign. Cozy but surprisingly spacious inside with a nice bar. Our server was great! Menu was very interesting and presentation was very good. We both wished there was a little more flavor in almost everything but the food was clean and fresh. The standout strangely, which almost went back on the plate after my shrimp was gone, was the salted lettuce carrot blend served with them. What a great surprise!! It's not just a garnish!!!

    Man this place was bad. Given the area I had low expectations and this was even worse than I…read morecould've imagined. The Tteokbokki was hands-down, the saltiest thing I've ever ordered at a restaurant in my entire life. Flavor profile was 100% off the sauce genuinely tasted like Play-Doh. The teriyaki chicken bowl wasn't much better whatever sauces y'all are using are horrendously bad. More salt doesn't equate the more flavor. Hope this helps.

    I found this place through Yelp and decided to come here for lunch after seeing the photos of the…read moreramen. It's relatively small (only about ten seats) and at the time, only two people were working. It took a little bit for the food to come out (my dad was able to go order a coffee at Coffee Break Cafe next door and bring it back before our orders came out) but the portions were perfect for our lunch and my dad really enjoyed his! The noodles are dropped off on the bar for you to pick up and you grab your own chopsticks as well. We ordered the Chili Ramen (tonkotsu with chili oil on top) and the Shoyu Ramen, both with pork as the protein. The cook on the egg was great (nice and gooey in the center and the white was nice and soft) but it was a little cold and lacked flavor (could've been marinated for longer?). The pork was a nice cut of meat but despite being blowtorched it was a little chewy and lacked a bit of flavor also. The lack of marination on these toppings was helped by the fact that the broth was great and flavorful and if you ate them with the broth and noodles, it was satisfying! I think the broth was the best part; I tried both of them and enjoyed drinking the broth by itself even without eating the noodles with it. Overall, I thought the ramen was OK (the soup was the best part!) but for the price and portion I think this is a nice place to stop by for lunch! My dad enjoyed it a lot and was impressed by the authenticity for an American establishment.

    This was a great Thai dining experience!…read more The interior is warm and inviting with a cool ambiance and a mix of booth and table seating. The staff were super friendly - the bartender came over and explained how he literally dreamed up of their fall cocktails! I tried both fall cocktails - the Dr Eggnog and the pumpkin martini. Both were excellent!! We tried the crab rangoon and the gyoza starters. I preferred the latter as the former's filing had a somewhat odd flavor. We tried the chicken pad thai and the yellow chicken curry entrees. Both were exceptional!! I truly loved the curry best of all, though. Such a delicious and complex dish with a wonderful mix of flavors. Best curry I've ever had!! We tried the fried ice cream dessert. It was ok. Honestly the coating was a bit bland and slightly oily. I'm not sure if we'd get that dessert again. Overall, though, it was a delicious meal!!

    Pretty good Thai food - more of a fusion place that also offers Chinese and Japanese cuisine. I'll…read moreadmit I was a touch skeptical having Thai in NH and it's not the most authentic, but dinner was solid. Crab rangoons were fried nicely and served piping hot. The khao soi was a generous portion, but was lacking a bit of depth (missing/not a lot of fish sauce) and did not come with pickled mustard greens or a lime to brighten the curry broth. We requested a lime wedge so that helped round it out a bit. The space was casual and clean - a long narrow room with the bar and kitchen on one side and a mix of seating (booths, 2 and 4 tops) on the other side. Service was okay - server was nice, but a touch slow and the bartender was super friendly. Decent spot to scratch my curry noodle itch after a day of hiking!
