    Pad See Ew $17
    Damon W.

    After trying to come a different day only to find out they were closed for training, we finally got to try Bua. It wasn't bad, but we were not overly impressed. The interior was very nice and clean. The waitress was nice and attentive. The pad See ew was very sweet. The fried rice had egg shell in it. They were out of thai tea. Overall we will probably not be back as there are closer and better thai places to us.

    Stopped by for dinner on a Wednesday and was able to get a seat right away. The restaurant wasn't busy and the servers were very attentive as we sat down and ordered our appetizers and main dishes. We ordered the appetizer Sampler, Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao. The food came out quickly and we dove right in. The noodles may have been a little overcooked, if I'm being nitpicky, but the flavor was good. My friend asked for a mild spice level, and he was happy with that. I asked for medium, but didn't really feel the kick or tingle in my nose like I wanted. Overall it was a good experience and a good spot if you're looking for something late night.

    Pad Thai was the sweetest Pad Thai I've ever had. It was disgusting! Could only stomach a few bites because it literally tastes like pure sugar. Sadly, this place is only getting worse. Prices raised, portions shrunk, and now food quality has worsen. Not returning.

    Tom Yum soup. Served boiling hot and awesome flavor!
    Dave G.

    We came here once when they first opened and liked it but for some reason never came back until today. This is by far, some of the best Thai food I have ever had! It's a small, cozy place with outstanding service and amazing flavors! If you haven't tried Bua Thai yet, then you are missing out! Excellent!

    I enjoy their food. I have been here, several times and everything always tastes fresh and flavorful. Their portions are decent and I can get 2 meals, out of my 1 entree usually. Their Tamarind Crispy Chicken and their Pad See Ew are my go to dishes! Wish they had more than ice creams left, when I'd go there, craving desserts. Other than that, good spot!

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the areas of Lake Stevens, GF and Arlington, because service, ambiance and food are all top notch every time.

    The food is wonderful and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. A great place in Lake Stevens /Everett for lunch.

When ordering online, it was listed as LC Panang Curry and I didn't see anything indicating that Pad Thai was part of the order, so naturally I thought I was only ordering Panang curry. When I realized what I had received, I went back inside with the food and explained the situation. I wasn't rude or demanding; I was genuinely confused because it wasn't what I thought I had ordered. The woman explained that "LC" meant lunch combo, but her response was: "What are we supposed to do, just throw away your food?" That interaction was the disappointing part for me. I understand that misunderstandings happen, especially with online ordering, but there was no attempt to offer a solution or even acknowledge that the menu description could be confusing to a first-time customer. She never offered to make the Panang curry I thought I had ordered, even if that meant I needed to pay for a separate entrée. That's fine if they don't think they need to pay for my mistake, but they didn't offer for a new order with me paying. I ended up leaving and going to another Thai restaurant to order curry. I would have happily ordered it there if I had simply been given that option.

We called in the order and they told us 15 minutes for pick-up. Well we're were right own the road. We got there in much less time than that. I walked in, there was no one in the restaurant, but a slew of pick-up orders. I told the gentleman my order and he said it wasn't almost done. Pleasantly surprised I took a seat. A few minutes went by and I was out the door. Side note, we have not had Thai too often as our spot, Thai Rama in Mukilteo had closed a few years ago. I will say the Pad see eiw was very flavorful and as I do love spicy, ordering a 3 had plenty of spice. I can only imagine was a 5 is. The Pineapple fried rice was a perfect compliment to the other dish. Packed full of flavor and spice. The only thing is that it had tomato's and when my wife ordered it she did not see that in the ingredients. She is allergic. Needless to say I have a really good feeling we will be back ordering these items and exploring the rest of the menu.

In long I've driven past this place dozens of times without even noticing it--their sign is small and kind of faint, and it's an old house. Blends into the background a little, though it turns out to have excellent word of mouth now that I know about it. I came in for a late lunch and got a table immediately. There are half a dozen tables inside, about the same outside. The covered patio is very comfortable and on a perfect sunny summer day there aren't many better settings. The menu is about 100 items or so--apps, salads, a few soups, lots of noodle dishes and entrees. I checked out the Bangkok Spices, which is listed as a spicy dish. They offer five stars of spiciness, which turned to make me wipe my nose maybe once, but definitely wasn't overwhelming. The dish was just great, though: Fresh veg, nice moist white chicken, tasty fresh soft rice. The kitchen is a quiet storm of non-stop banter in Thai, but the menu (and spice levels) are very Americanized. Snohomish is a very caucasian place, so this makes some sense. The server seemed like a local, just the loveliest, sweetest kid. Very attentive and always working. I didn't order a beer but they have maybe 8 taps, focused on hoppy stuff and crisp lagers from good breweries. Good choices for a menu like this for sure. I'd come back here any time, very happily. But I do need to say there are Thai places closer to home and a few of them are a little more ambitious in the kitchen.

    Went here for dinner on a Tuesday around 7 pm and got seated without much wait, which was great…read more One of the best things about this place is that they offer a full vegan menu, which is definitely a big plus. We started with the pumpkin tempura. It was crispy on the outside, with a naturally sweet pumpkin inside. It was really delicious. It came with a dipping sauce, though the portion felt quite small. The side of lettuce and a chunk of purple cabbage felt a bit odd presentation wise, but once we wrapped everything together and dipped it, it tasted great. For my main, I ordered the vegan herb tofu salad with medium spice. It was mostly fried tofu tossed in a herb dressing with mint, tamarind, and cilantro. The flavor was a mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy. It honestly reminded me a bit of pani puri. That said, the sweetness was a bit overpowering and made the dish slightly sticky. If they toned that down, it would be perfect. We also tried the vegan 17th curry fried rice, which was good. The curry flavor was subtle. My toddler absolutely loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially for vegans. The food was good, with the only downside being that some dishes leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional, but not bad either. I had visited this place about three years ago on a busy Friday night and had a pretty poor service experience, so I wanted to give it another shot on a weekday. The food has improved, and the service was decent this time around.
