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!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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

Take out Spring "Summer " rolls and beef Mussamun curry. Really should have split this between two meals, but it was delicious. HUGE rolls each a salad unto itself. Wished for more dipping sauce. "Hot" curry was perfectly seasoned and wonderful. Service was on time! 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

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
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
Busaba has been one of our go-to restaurants in town for years. They crank out really tasty food, even it's a little on the expensive side for the portions. Our most recent visit we got chicken potstickers, summer rolls with shrimp, and pad see ewe with chicken. The potstickers are not a great value proposition with 4 pieces for over $5, and they were pretty tasty, but not amazing. The summer rolls were very fresh and tasty, but they could really use some vermicelli noodles inside. This type of roll almost always includes them, and having just a solid bunch of veggies stuffed in there makes them miss the mark texture-wise. The pad see ewe was really good, but could use just a bit more of that soy umami flavor that makes the dish so yummy. We didn't order it this time, but the Goong Ob Woon Sen is one of the best things on the menu, and I can highly recommend that dish. Overall, Busaba is a fantastic choice for dinner. Definitely worth a try! read more

One of our favorite spots and definitely our go-to whenever we are in the area and hungry. This place seriously has the feel of being in someone's home and having them cook for you. The food is all so ridiculously good like it has been perfected over generations. Seriously, everything I have tried here over the years has been fantastic and the staff is always kind and accommodating. My baby daddy and I decided stop here for dinner the other night with our little one because we were out in Arvada and I figured that was "in the area" enough. It was pretty busy, but they were able to squeeze us into a table on the patio. They even brought us an extra chair to put our baby's carseat on, so he could be included, which was really sweet. Definitely a baby friendly spot, which all parents are always on the lookout for. My partner got a mango mojito and the pumpkin curry. I got the hooky noodles with chicken, which was new to me and . I always struggle to decide on getting a noodle dish or a curry when we get Thai, so this was a good compromised between the two. I got one level below Thai hot (just plain hot) which is still pretty spicy, so some of the curry flavor was probably washed out, but I didn't care whatsoever. The dish was very warming and cozy with a good amount of veggies. Serious perfection.. I ate the whole damn thing and had zero regrets. We were pretty hungry, so we also got crab wontons to start, which came with some sort of dipping sauce that reminded me of spicy honey, and a sticky rice to share for dessert. The warm mango sticky rice here is definitely not to be missed. It is light, yet indulgent, and the mango is always fresh and basically like eating candy. It's also the perfect portion size for a little something sweet, post dinner, even if you've just stuffed yourself on spicy noodz. read more

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…
