    Pad Thai
    Elisa L.

    Recommended by a friend, we decided to try this chain. I loved the ambience & seating arrangements of the place. We came at an earlier dinner time, so it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the calamari, pad thai, and fish curry dishes. We aren't into spicy so got mild for both mains. We got the pad thai and fish curry first. Mmm. They use thin noodles for the pad thai which was awesome. So delicious and not drenched in sauce like many Asian fusion places I've tried. The fish curry was also very delicious, so soft and well paired with the curry. They brought the calamari as a side rather than as an app for some reason, but it was also quite delicious - a decently large portion, too. Top notch Thai food, a bit on the expensive side, though I'd love to come back here again.

    Crowded space, food too spicy, the service is good. Maybe next time I will consider another tai food restaurant

    Small plate wings, I'm addicted! We had two orders they were so good.

    The exceptional service was met by exceptional food. Ahmed the general manager , Corina our waitress for the evening, and the team effort that made for an incredible evening. Bravo to intelligent hires and excellent service. The delicate flavors in every item selection will not soon be forgotten. I will return again before my 3 week London holiday ends. Thank you for such a lovely memory!

    We're still quite close to this Busaba Eathai and we continue to order from here regularly. They've never mixed up a to-go order or an order when we've eaten in. The food has always been absolutely delicious. It's even hard to choose a favourite! The Bangkok King Prawn dish is amazing. It's a dry yellow curry that goes really well with rice and has incredible flavour. The Tom Yam Gong soup is also bursting with lemongrass and curry flavours. And their classic pad thai is the best I've ever had. I usually don't like pad thai because I find most of them too dry and too peanut-y. This one is moist and has nice hints of lemongrass and citrus. Amaaaaazing. I would always order the phad phak. It's just a small side of vegetables but the sauce they cook it in is seriously out of this world. It's sweet but savoury and compliments the veggies very well. It think the only thing I've had from here that wasn't crazy about was the chilli prawn fried rice. It didn't stand out to me. But who cares! That leaves so many more options! yayayayaya

    thai food in london? yes why not? ordered: *pad thai- 8.50 YUM. definitely a hit to this yelpers eye and tummy! when it was bought out i didn't have very much expectations but i loved it! *songkhla red curry w/beef- 10.90 - surprisingly really good!!! i totally recommend this dish if you are a fan of curry. i totally licked this bowl clean. it was SOOOO yummy in my tummy. there's not a lot of beef FYI. *ginger beef-9.50 this is a very small portion made with very little beef. i felt like there was more mushrooms if anything. but overall the ginger beef was okay. nothing super special in my POV *rice set green curry w/ grilled chicken- 9.90 this dish wasn't bad however because the red curry was so good that i can't say i would wanna recommend this. *jasmine rice- 2.50 which really is a small bowl of rice overall, portion size is quite small. as you can tell we ordered 4 dishes to do a family style between the 4 of us. at least the hubby and i felt a little hungry still. so i would probably suggest that you don't do family style. everyone should just eat their own dish. i wasn't a huge fan of the table layout. imagine a picnic table type. so you'll probably be sharing a table with others. tips: *separate male and female restrooms. female restroom has tons of stalls. *located on a corner. *indoor seating only. *street parking *this is a chain restaurant. *does not have thai ice coffee or thai ice tea *free wifi *serves alcohol *cash and credit cards accepted *they have gluten free options *10% gratuity is is added to the bill *they have a wall where you can hang your jackets and put your strollers *they make you put on an umbrella bag if you have a wet umbrella.

    Had soft shell crab fried rice there and it was super lovely. I also like the concept of the chain but you usually need to wait a bit before could get the table - this place is always busy!

    Early afternoon hours, not very busy but very comfortable atmosphere.

    At our first day in the city we got a little hungry and asked the first random person on the street for any recommendation. It turned out she was a food blogger and recommended Busaba. We had the lunch specials and were satisfied all the way. Tasty staters, a small main course assembled with some lemongrass tea in a very welcoming atmosphere. Perfect place for a light snack or probably even a full meal.

    This place is great for a buzzing bite right in the centre of Soho, on Berwick Street. On a Friday or Saturday night, expect huge queues and a little bit of a wait but how can you resist that smell! During the summer it's nice to sit at the window for a proper Thai lunch and watch passers by, the windows are usually open in the summer and it really feels like you're in the middle of the most happening part of town. Many a celeb has also eaten at Busaba with the theatre district just a hope and a skip away. With alcohol, expect to spend around £20 per person, if you really want a slap-up meal. This place is well worth the visit though, once you're in, the modern surroundings, clinking of plates and cutlery, chitter-chatter and hypnotising smell is enough to win you over for sure...

    I was meeting my parents in Mayfair, they were flustered driving without a Tom Tom in London's labyrinthine set of streets. They proposed La Tasca, I scoffed and reliably informed them that for the same price they could eat great quality, low fuss food in a restaurant sweetly jasmine scented. So we landed at Busaba Eat Thai tucked behind Selfridges, rather less busy than her Wardour Street sister but no less delicious. London restaurateur Alan Yau (the man who brought us Yauachta, Hakkasan and Wagamama) secured private equity investment of £21.5m to transform his Busaba Eathai restaurant into a chain. The flagship Soho restaurant, which opened in 1999, comprises of large square, communal tables serving a menu of authentic Thai food. Chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, creamy green curry, perfectly seasoned pad thai, the list goes on and on. Easily the best value, high quality food in town, only lacking on intimacy due to the communal nature of the tables and lack of advance bookings for smaller groups. Look, even my mother agrees!

    Let's take it from the top. Queue: 20 people. That's normal. And they've thought about it. There's a loooong corridor where you stand. It's decorated, and kept warm, so waiting is not unpleasant at all. Time to sit down: 5 min. I was surprised! Mind you, it's very easy to get a seat if you're 2 people, it's the 3+ that starts to be a challenge. Still, they give you menus while you're in the queue to speed things up, and watching the floating candles and flowers keeps you zen anyway. Time to order: 5min. Waiters are quite eager... Time for food to come: 20min. Started getting bored, but then all the food came at once! They don't bother with starters and things, everything comes at the same time and you dive in. YUM! Food is delicious, service generally quick if not always fluent in english, and the ambience lovely, especially if, like me, you are trying to escape valentine's coupledom dominion of cheesiness. The great big square tables of 10 people each form a lovely space on which we can lay out many dishes, and talk to each other and eavesdrop on other conversations. The wooden decor and low-hanging just-bright-enough lamps cast a flattering glow on the food and patrons. The food is delicious (you have GOT to try the prawns under the "sides" heading) and I had to order me more. Originally I was scared as 90% of the dishes are either vegetarian (boring) or spicy (uh oh...). I went with spicy, preferring to risk a burn rather than forego meat, and was pleasantly surprised! Yes, it was spicy, but it was perfectly tolerable even for my low tolerance palate. So I was happy. My plan is to head back there with a group of 10 friends and take over an entire table to ourselves, having a crazy dinner on an otherwise boring evening. Tip: It's on Oxford Street, just past Bond Street station, behind the GAP. Keep walking north, it's on the left hand side.

The staff is super friendly, always greeting you with a smile, and they're overall very nice. I've been there a many times already so they know my usual order. They have a good selection of beers, cocktails and wine but as a no drinker, I always get the two point lemonade which is delish!! The food is super tasty, and a reasonable price. I like To get the Pat see ew with chicken and a side of white steamed rice. The spring rolls are also super good, the yum woon sen salad is super fresh and a great way to start your meal. Pretty much everything I've ever ordered has been superb, the owner is usually walking around and making sure everyone is happy, I really like that because it shows me he cares about his customers, his restaurant and the experience they are having . The restaurant is very clean, good dim lights, they have nice soft background music, kinda like a coffee shop, it's a cozy place, great for a date or a dinner out with friends and family.

I can see why it's rated highly. Would definitely like to try some of their other dishes as well. They have some northern Thai dishes like larb and papaya salad that id be interested in trying too. You get 10% off click and collect orders if you happen to be in the area. Would order again for sure!
