Came here based on recommendations from locals. Its pretty legit. The food we ordered was delicious and plentiful. We got 2 curries and a soup. Be sure to read the spice warnings! This is true thai spiciness and thank goodness we only went up to medium. We also got thai teas that were authentic and fresh brewed. There's plenty of seating both inside and out. Parking is tough if it's really busy. And service was great. Food came out decently fast. Would definitely recommend trying. read more

I enjoyed the tempura, I don't eat shellfish and they accommodated, by giving us more veggies. I didn't really like anything else. I believe we only tried it once, it must've not been that good, since we never returned. There are multiple Thai places, in the surrounding area that we frequently visit because we like Thai food. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Great service and great food. The atmosphere is a little different (open and light) but not bad. The patio seems like it would be nice during better weather. Love the Basil Chicken read more

Unless you're looking for an inflammation and indigestion episode avoid this place. At first I was beyond excited to finally enjoy flavorful Thai food in Colorado that didn't involve going all the way to downtown Denver. Typically Boulder has some of the worst overall food, period. Like, terrible and flavorless. I found busaba and after sifting through a bunch of positive reviews figured I'd give it a shot. While the food was indeed delicious it began to lay siege upon my stomach and digestive tract within 30 minutes. The inflammation was truly next level and unacceptable. I'll never eat here again. It wrecked my stomach, body, and entire night sleep. Like seriously busaba--what are you guys doing to your food? The presence of flavor should not come at the cost of bodily comfort. NEXT! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Consistently good for sure. Sometimes amazing. A complaint is that They have always provided a small 1.5 oz chili oil to go Along with my $43 (2) entrees. Now they are trying to charge me $2 when I asked for one at pickup. I explained I was happy to buy the jar they sell as I occasionally do but they were out. Don't they make this specifically to go with their food? Busaba Has been going downhill lately in flavor and quantity but was once unmatched!! Staff is not as kind or friendly anymore. read more

Was really disappointed in the Pad Thai. I ordered medium spicy, and in my opinion, it wasn't spicy at all. Completely void of that lovely tang with a little hint of sweet that is the perfect pad Thai flavor. Honestly, probably the blandest pad Thai I've eaten. Just very lackluster. Would've expected much better from a place that takes the time to present a fancy decor complete with customized napkins. I added quite a bit of the in-house chili sauce for some heat, but wish I would've tried a different dish. My friend had the pumpkin curry and it couldn't have been better! While she was in a gastronomic heaven I was disappointedly chewing my sad noodle dish. I find it very strange that a Thai restaurant wouldn't make a significant effort with their Pad Thai as it is easily the most popular Thai dish in the US. read more

I'm visiting family from out of state and this is my second visit. Everything is just delicious. We were a party of 5 tonight and had a some appetizers and 4 main dishes. The service was excellent. Ambience pleasant store front in local shopping area. Standouts are basil chicken; drunken noodles with fried tofu. There was a fantastic beef dish and a curry dish, all superb. You can't go wrong with anything here because it is all delicious. Can't wait to come back. My son , who lives nearby, has been a regular here for years. read more

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! read more

Busaba - Thai Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

Poor Service and Pad Thai: My wife, son, and I went Saturday 06/14 at about 6:45. We were seated in the patio and waited 10 minutes for our first engagement by the wait staff. Waters were served. Waited another 5 minutes for napkins and utensils. Another 10 minutes before our order was taken. It took another 30 minutes for our food. Normally Busuba is lightning quick. My son and I had the Garlic Pepper dish and they were fantastic. My wife had Pad Thai Gluten Free and hers had almost no flavor just heat. Normally the Pad Thai is killer here. I took some out of town colleagues there and had the same dish and it rocked We've been here a half a dozen times and normally it's fantastic. Tonight was an off night. read more

Full disclosure, this is the first time I've eaten in a Thai restaurant. I asked the waitress for recommendations and she was spot-on. Excellent service. We chose the chicken puff appetizer which includes vegetables inside 2 flaky crust rolls. The waitress helped me choose a fried rice dish that included vegetables and your choice of a protein. I had shrimp but a variety of protein choices are available, including tofu for those who avoid animal proteins. You choose your level of hot spice. I chose mild= no shot spice. The other 5 people at our table ran the gamut from mild to full-on hot Thai. Everyone enjoyed their choices. I had a wonderful mango mousse dessert. Another person had coconut ice cream and liked it. Bottom line, we will return and maybe get a bit more adventurous in our choices. read more

My friend has severe food allergies and is gluten free, so there are few places she can eat; she suggested this restaurant as one of her favorites because it's one of the ones that honors her food needs and is still delicious. It was quite good and they were very careful with her food, which we greatly appreciated. I had crab fried rice, and I tasted several curries and noodle dishes, all very good. The servers, one of whom seemed to be the owner, were all very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was clean and spacious, and nicely decorated. It was a lovely experience overall. read more

This my go-to place for a lunch or a dinner meal when I don't want to spend time thinking where to go, or when I don't want to risk trying a new place for a meal - cause this place is a guaranteed amazing meal. I've had so many meals over here - sometimes even on bdays and anniversaries. I love the vegan and vegetarian options - and they do not use fish sauce or any ingredients with shrimp paste or such, for the items which are marked vegan and vegetarian clearly on the menu. I love love love the veggie potstickers from here - although I do find 4 little ones too less for one order. Other amazing things I've eaten here are Veggie spring rolls (deep fried one), yellow curry, pad Thai, hokky noodles, rad nai, vegetable bliss.. My fav is pineapple fried rice , vegetable bliss and basil eggplant. The eggplant dish is like no other place - we have tried many many places and this seems to stay on top - t it has a well balanced sweetness and spicy. The vegetable bliss could be better with a little more sauce by default - and when I ordered with extra sauce - the extra sauce is almost like 2 spoons more, for which they charged an extra $1 - which was a little disappointing. Also we'd love it if they have a kids menu - for smaller portions for the kids. The normal lunch/dinner portions are just enough for adults. You can order all dishes in mild, medium and hot, or no spice at all. I find medium works great for us. If you like spicy - they have a chilli oil that you can ask for - go slow with that oil - it's excellent and spicy ! (I guess a bottle of that chilli oil is also available for purchase) Flavor wise everything we eat here is simply superb. The staff are kind and bring help us with everything really fast. I love the seating near the window - although all tables are great. It could be a little noisy when all tables are full - but when the meal so good - who cares! read more

Love this location! Fantastic service, delicious food, and a great ambiance! I love their extensive menu and in the summer it's nice sitting outside. My stapled are the shrimp summer rolls, tom yum soup, iced tea, and garlic pepper chicken. All amazing! Mango sticky rice is also delicious when in season. Can't say enough about this place. I've tried the Erie and Boulder locations and in my opinion this one ranks at top especially since they have a full menu. read more

We came here for my mom's birthday over the weekend. We have been here before and knew the wait was long, so we arrived early and were seated immediately. The ambiance is modern with a nice outdoor patio for when it warms up, and upon being seated we noticed all the tables were well-stocked with water glasses and carafes. The food was delicious, and the perfect level of spiciness - I settled for the Bangkok Street Fried Rice with fried tofu, and it was DELICIOUS! A good sized portion enough for two meals. My parents both ordered Pad Thai, and my sister ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice, which was also delicious. Service was good and food came out quick. By the time we left (which was just after 5), they were getting pretty busy, so definitely recommend coming here early. read more

A friend recommended and 3 of us went for dinner. Probably the BEST Thai food I've had in 20 years. Crab Rangoon, Pumpkin Red Curry, Basil Chicken, Brown Rice, and Tom Kia. All exceptionally good. I definitely recommend! Do not confuse with the restaurant in Erie with the same name. Different owners and not affiliated with Busaba in Boulder and Louisville. read more

My most favourite & probably one of the best Thai food in denver! Super flavourful, spicy & savoury! Love the drunken noodles, pad Thai, khua, garlic pepper, pad see ew & all the appetisers as well as Thai curry's here. Though the wait time is long, its totally worth it because the food is amazing. read more

It was hopping tonight and we were told about a 30 minute wait. I asked if this was normal for a Friday night as we waited and the host said that usually it's longer and the line is out the door. I said that must mean the food is really good if the wait is that long. The host and one of his co-workers teased that the food was bad. I suggested my husband and I go elsewhere and they laughed. The wait was less the 10 minutes before we got seated and service was fast and prompt waters tefilled and follow up it the food was as expected. My husband and I both got the Pad Thai mine with the fried tofu and mild and my husbands with chicken and mild too. We also ordered the summer rolls. The sauce for the summer roles was really good and more sauce was provided on request. We added fried tofu to it as well. They are good but heavy on the greens. The sauce is what makes it. It's like getting a small salad rolled into a rice paper. There are shredded carrots and one spear of cucumber. Not sure I would order again. Ok now to the Pad Thai. It was good, not spicy or hot at all.. more sweet really, comes with eggs and the fried tofu was really good just the right texture. Overall flavor was good but not my favorite I have ever had. My husband agreed. My husband got a Thai iced tea and was quite happy with that, see picture.. Overall experience was good and the host made the wait interesting. I would give it a try and if I was not from out of town I'd go back for sure and try other things on the menu. read more

Still a solid 4 star restaurant. Four of us ordered takeout and it was as good as I remember it. Had a Curry, Pad Thai, and fried rice. All really good. Regarding heat/spice level start lower in your first visit and get an idea as their medium is truer than most places serving to American audience. I wouldn't say it's Thai Medium, but it's slicer than you might expect. read more

I love the Drunken Noodles! And the staff is so so kind! The smells are mouth watering too!

The food was unbelievably fresh and delicious. I had the "dry" seafood Tom Kun which was as flavorful as the soup but with a lighter sauce rather than a full bowl of soup on the scallops, squid, and shrimp with onions. I couldn't believe how good it was. I ordered the highest level of spice, but it was not just a burning, hot spice. it was very spicy but still extremely flavorful. The service was fast and efficient, even though the restaurant was very crowded. Highly recommended. read more

We drove all the way from Aurora because this restaurant has the best pad Thai chicken. The atmosphere is modern complete with a huge outdoor patio for those looking to hang out in the evening. Their food is sooooo freaking delicious it's hard to go back to other Thai restaurants. Their pad Thai is on the nuttier side rather than the sweet and sour that some places make. Their portion sizes are big enough to share for two or just enough for a hungry individual. Ingredients are always fresh and the chicken breast is tender. I also highly recommend their papaya salad for a healthier dinner option or appetizer. They're located in one of the many Louisville plazas off of McCasalin. Complete with a parking lot. You have to check them out! read more
