    Will say there was a wait but to be fair it was a Friday. The inside was pretty spacious and ha some tu if seating. We got seated pretty fast, well based on how busy it looked so that was nice :)). Will say will give so much props to the servers. She was so nice and tried helping us out since we had to drop someone off at the airport :)) but very kinda she was :)) Now time to rate the food. Pad see ewe with beef 10/10 it was a good consistency and was a good for mild spice. Garlic pepper chicken 10000/10 will say was very juicy and soooo good. Idk but it was seasoned very well Red message 100/10 I ordered spicy and must I say it made me cry so it was spicy enough for me!! Will say I loved it as well but not as much as the garlic pepper Overall I loved the place and costumer service was amazing!!

    Busaba Chicken Puff (1)

    I've been wanting to try Busaba for a while since I arrived in CO, so my folks and I decided to make a trip to Louisville for lunch. We were seated immediately even though it was peak lunch time, and the hostess couldn't have been nicer. Once she seated us, we talked a bit about the menu and her favorite items--we ended up ordering one of them. It took a bit for our server to come by our table to take our order, but granted, the restaurant was semi-busy. Our server was also very sweet, so this made up for the delay in getting our order placed. For starters, we got the chicken puff (cut into thirds), and shared the pumpkin curry with chicken, pad see ewe with chicken, and drunken noodle with beef--all mild+. Although I'm Korean and can handle spice well, I've learned to always err on the side of caution with Thai food lol. I could have gone for medium spiciness with the food here, but I sometimes want to enjoy my food without my tastebuds being on fire. The food here was good, but it felt like something was missing, flavor wise. I've had a lot of delicious Thai food on the east coast, and to be honest, this didn't quite compare. But I'll take what I can get here in Boulder! Definitely better than another Thai restaurant I went to the other week. Next time, though, I would only get 2 entrees and an appetizer since we had to take a good amount of our food home. Maybe I'll try the Baseline Rd location the next time I need a Thai food fix.

    Okay this isn't a fancy place but it's a delicious for its food !!! I fell in love with the pumpkin curry with chicken . Also tried the Roti appetizer which is a must and most popular . Do not sleep on the dessert of sticky mango rice . I'm not a fan of mango but oh this is the exception! Service was excellent. So kind and attentive. Can't wait to be in the area to try again . Wish I got pictures but we literally dug in

    Chicken Pad Thai and Crab Rangoon (4) (this shows what was leftover after I ate three Rangoon and the pad Thai for dinner!)

    Ordered takeout and the crab Rangoon was SO good! It had a good mixture of crab and cream cheese and the outside was super crispy! I ordered a chicken pad Thai at medium spice level. It wasn't spicy at all in my opinion, but it tasted great. A good amount of chicken which was nice. Price was good for the amount of food as well.

    The taste of my basil chicken that I had here is still a great memory. This place was a short drive from my hotel. It's in a strip mall. We took an outdoor table. Service was great and the restaurant passed my water glass refill standard. Portions are excellent and this meal was a great value for money. Along with a few local brews they also have the Singha beer. I am glad I made it to this restaurant.

    Pad See Ewe with shrimp
    Stephanie C.

    I had to give another shoutout to Busaba because their food is so dang good. Their pad see ewe might just be the best I've ever had. The thing I love about their food is that the portions are generous so you usually get 2 meals out of it and they heat up really well. As I mentioned in my previous review, the noodles are perfectly cooked and sauced so they don't clump together or harden. It's great they offer various spice levels and while I enjoy it spicy, the mild plus does the trick with giving a kick of heat without blowing out your palate. The chicken is so juicy and tender. We like to get the roti and tear up little pieces to add to the pad see ewe. Give it a try, it's a game changer.

    Delicious Thai food!! The green curry was super flavorful and spicy (medium). Crab wontons were OK. We had to wait about 15 mins for a table on a Friday night. Service was attentive and the staff were friendly.

    We met some friends here for dinner on a Friday evening and the place was popping. Very busy. They don't take reservations so we had a good 30 minute wait. The food was extremely flavorful and vibrant. Our server was very friendly and helpful. They have plenty of gluten free options for those that need it. The place isn't real big and the decor is a bit plain but that's ok because the important piece is the food!

    Is this place open?

    We had lunch there last week so the answer is yes they are now open. They just reopened last week after the fire.

    Is there usually a line to get in at 5:30? When is it quietest for dinner?

    We usually go to Busaba for dinner between 6 and 7. It really varies. We've walked in and been seated immediately, and other nights, there is a 10-15 min wait. I think you'd be safe at 5:30 pm, and not have to contend with a wait. It doesn't get… Read more

We usually order same, a soup and a curry and at times, we order dessert of mango and sticky rice. Most of time the dessert is pretty good, but there are times when the mango is sour and it really turns mee off to ordering it. We pay so much extra for dessert, we would like sweet mangoes and if they don't have it, they should say, instead of giving us sour mangoes. I have never eaten there, I can't even say, I picked up orders there. It's mostly my husband. I have ordered online and it's very specific, which is nice if you're picky eater. We usually order there pretty often and soup, with curry always meets expectations. It's just the dessert.

While there is a good amount of parking finding a space can be tough with busy businesses located nearby. I've had the pleasure of visiting this location on two occasions as part of a food panel. What's a food panel? It's where Noodle & Company gives tasters the opportunity to sample not yet released dishes and products. Tasting panel's last about forty five minutes and are very delicious and user friendly (each person has an iPad to complete questions about the items they taste). How did I get invited to do such a fun thing? I'm a longtime member of the Noodle Club and an avid user of their app. Invites arrive via email and if I'm interested to take part I complete a survey (it asks questions about allergies, etc.) to see if they are looking for opinions from people with my preferences and needs. If my attendance is indeed requested (after they review my survey results) I just go ahead and schedule which panel I will attend. Overall I love Noodles & Company. I'll never forget one of the first visits my parent's made to visit me out in Boulder, CO as they loved eating at one of their establishments so much they visited twice in one day.
