This has to be one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever tried. The food was delicious, the service, outstanding and the atmosphere was fun and different. We found Busaba on the web and even through it was a Saturday evening, we were able to be promptly seated. The waitress was really friendly and answered all our questions. Now, one of the unusual things about Busaba were the extremely large square tables. It's like a community style table set up. Since we dined when it wasn't super-busy, we had the table to ourselves. It's an interesting convent, kind of how hibachi tables are set up, only there is no cooking. The food far surpassed my expectations. I had the Tom Ka Soup as an entree and I have to say, this was hands down, the BEST! I enjoyed the Tom Ka here more than I did when I was actually in Thailand. Kind of wild, but that's my take. I also had a delicious mango yogurt drink with my meal that balanced out the spice in the Tom Ka. Overall, a very memorable and delicious meal was had. I would love to eat here again on our next trip to London.

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!

Felt welcomed from the moment we stepped into this place. The Manager, "Ahmed" was very friendly and treated us like family. The staff was also great and quick with orders / making sure we were enjoying our meal / being taking care of. The Thai food was good and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back to this location.

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!

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.

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.
