Absolutely delicious! We stopped here as a party of six in a state of absolute hunger. We ordered and the food came out in about ten minutes and was so fresh! The kids LOVED it as well. And the glasses they serve sodas and teas in are so cute. Def come give this place a try if you're looking for some fresh and fast Thai food! Also has a great ambiance.

This is my brother's favorite Thai restaurant in all of boulder. The staff is very nice a knowledgeable about vegan options. The fried tofu is great

Always order from here when I am craving thai food! Amazing for people with gluten allergies, like myself, and I love the Pad See Ew which I find hard to get gluten free at other places! I have dined in and taken out from Busaba and both experiences taste equally delicious!

Items ordered: Veggie fresh rolls, Masaman Curry with fried tofu, Veggie Pad Thai with fried tofu Value: Pricey but reasonable, as large portions make up for the price Service: Food came quickly but servers/the host were hard to find The Review: Five stars because this is a fairly new business with great food and I want to encourage patronage! INCREDIBLE assortment of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The place is very clean. The food is fresh and flavorful, and they are very conscientious of spice level, with a legend on the menu that explains the levels. A classic dish, the Pad Thai was perfectly cooked with a nice assortment of the typical sprouts and green onion, and a fresh beet and carrot garnish. Drawbacks were the harsh lights, the lack of servers, and the fact that they squished us in a corner even though there were plenty of other tables. Also, important to note that the veggie fresh roll is basically lettuce inside of rice paper, so buyer beware. Drawbacks aside, really great restaurant and food comes out in approximately 10 minutes. Unmatched quality, especially for a touristic area. 5/5 from me!

We love Busaba and always order from their Louisville location. This was our first time ordering from here and it was delicious. The pad see ewe is soooo good and one of our favorite easy, comforting dishes. My husband gets the shrimp and I order the chicken. Both are tasty and I especially like how they cook the chicken. I'd give them 5 stars, but the roti was suuuuuper oily. The flavor is excellent, but just had too much oil that made it a bit soggy and needed to be patted down before eating. Busaba continues to be our favorite Thai spot in Colorado.

Delicious ample of vegan and vegetarian choices. Excellent customer service. Drinks were good.

Initial feel is very positive secondary to friendly, welcoming staff. I was just about to say that the wait was a little long for the food and then like magic, it arrived. The waiter split the rice into two bowls for us (thank you!). The mussamun curry with pork is Great! And... they did not skimp on the pork! Our attentive server knew that we were planning on walking and then stopping somewhere else for another bite. He had the check ready as soon as we finished, so as to not hold us up. Thanks Kaeden. If I lived in Boulder I would be back soon.

We have eaten at the original Busaba in Louisville for years but not recently. I was so pleased they have added more locations and especially for this one on Pearl St on my favorite block of restaurants on the west end. So many nice and high quality options. As I said in my review of the original Louisville location, I like the mix of the more southern Thai dishes as well as the central Thai that are more classically Chinese in style. All of their dishes can be spiced to suit your taste. We opt for mild but I've heard their medium has quite a kick and the hot is nearly volcanic. So something for everyone. The shrimp were nicely grilled and the selection of veggies fresh and firm. I especially loved the mushrooms with the ample and tender asparagus. I love that bell peppers were mostly red, for the color as well as sweeter taste over the green. The soy based sauce was well salted, not too much but not bland. I ordered it with the brown rice and though a small up charge , well worth it. My husband ordered the pork sweet and sour and I took a taste and liked it too. Classic sauce, tender meat and classic veggies. We had the ginger tea to drink and found it a bit sweet ( and we were warned it was pre sweetened when we ordered) but wish we could have it plain. My husband lines sweet tea and he would get it again but I will try something else. He also chose the white Jasmine rice and enjoyed. The portions are huge so we have enough left so we can have another full meal. If you bring a bigger group or some with bigger appetites it could be served family style with fewer dishes. I like having "planned overs" so this was good. Our server was excellent and the timing of the food was set well by her. We will definitely return to try more items. The space is really nice, there is a nice bar in the front with views on Pearl and on a late summer evening, the glass wall is completely open.
