I can't believe I haven't written a review before now. I came say enough good about this place. First and foremost though, THE FOOD! I eat plant based / vegan and this place never disappoints. Sorry no pics of food but my all time fave is the Tom yum fried rice with mushrooms, and veg instead of protein, although they have tofu. Anyway it's great, I tell all my favorite people about it. Much love Bua team read more

Love the Tom yum soup!! Like nothing I've had in Colorado. Wish there was a way to kick up the heat, but all in all ABSOLUTELY delicious. read more

This place is great but stops taking phone orders 30 minutes before the stated closing time. I just wish that if you say you close at 9 then you actually close at 9. Want to close at 8:30 then close at 8:30. Not rocket science. Lamesauce guys. read more

We had originally identified another Thai place for dinner on our first night near Denver (a Monday). However, we discovered before we left that the other place was actually closed on Mondays. We had seen Bua Thai as we drove to our hotel, so we opted to just walk over there for dinner. It is located along what is basically an access road for I-225. There is a large mall nearby and there is associated satellite development all around it. This restaurant is adjacent to a Sam's Club parking lot. It wasn't that busy when we arrived, but I doubt Monday at 6 p.m. is their busiest time. Service was attentive. Everyone in our party of 4 was able to find a good dish, and everyone enjoyed their food. I think it was a mix of curries, fish, and noodles. We ended up with enough leftovers to make a meal the next evening also. If I lived in the area, I could see coming here semi-regularly. read more

Would have been nice if they would have brought the entire order. She even read it back to me from the screen. ordered an appetizer- it never came out-and then presto my main dish arrived at table. The owner would have made ten more dollars and the waitress would have gotten a normal tip. Was it sloppy kitchen work or were they out?? No explanation just sorry. Was fun watching the other tables get their appetizers. The Chicken with cashews was fine as it should be. Just was wanting to treat myself- it was a staycation vacation day. Did the Thai tea, wanted something special so added an appetizer and just the sloppyness of it made it just another disappointing meal because of the sloppy service. read more

This place has vegan/tofu options like the Tofu Yellow Curry!! It comes with Coconut Milk and potatoes, so it sounds 100% safe. You can't go wrong with Thai Cuisine! And the color purple! Look for the very adorable gold and purple (with lotus flower) restaurant by the Sams Club and Alameda!! It's such a fancy, fancy, fancy setting and we literally felt romance in the air. We came here for one of our weekly date nights and Nick and I completely loved the Thai Milk Tea. He's been getting into Boba Tea lately, and trying out the different flavors and even though it didn't have boba in the bottom, I wanted him to try the Thai Milk! It was served in a clear, tall, appealing glass like chalice. I absolutely felt at ease, knowing we were elegantly dining, with the Thai Milk flowing so gracefully. I also appreciated how it served! Not a plastic to go cup. (Nothing personally against that.) We also opted for a reservation here, but I saw on their online website, that you can order online too. For our appetizer, we had to try out the Steamed shrimp! It was basically fresh vegetable wrapped in rice paper. I loved the serving of peanut and sweet plum sauce. It was just as sweet as described. Nick ordered the Crispy Calamari, but it was tad bit pricey: $10.95, but I guess we got what we paid for: it was mainly deep fried shrimp and vegetable in a light batter. I loved the crunchiness of the Calamari; it was served with Thai sweet sauce. I enjoyed the various sweet sauces. I ordered the Little Mermaid (6 Pieces) because it sounded good and half the price: $6.95! I loved how the shrimp was marinated with sake and herbs. I thought it was unique that it had sake and mixing the two wasn't bad at all. The shrimp was wrapped with rice paper, fried, and came with some more plum sauce. I wanted to try something new so I got the Squid Ginger Style for $13.95, which came with onions, bell peppers, ginger, carrots, and mushrooms in a ginger sauce. I loved it because I'm a huge fan of the Squid in general. I actually requested more sweet plum sauce because i thought it would compliment my dish. Nick got the Chef's Special: Mango Curry because it was recommended to us. It was served with stewed chicken and ripe mango in red curry sauce, served in a Thai hot pot for $15.95 Nick shared that it was mildly spicy and he enjoyed it very much so. read more

Really authentic and affordable Thai food. It gets pretty busy despite having a reservation so except a mild wait. However the wait is definitely worth it! read more

I have been scouring the city for good Thai food since I moved here, I have finally found it. Their drunken noodles and pad sew ew are PHENOMENAL. Soo good. This is now my go to spot I would eat here daily if I could afford the calories of eating out. 12/10. 10 stars read more

I'm going to miss this place when I move! Everything here is great and the staff is always super friendly provides top notch service.

. Let me start off by telling y'all something. I did an order from Uber eats and it was so effing amazing. A bit pricey but good food is always , ALWAYS worth the price . My secret addiction is wontons and these wontons were so damn amazing, so delicate, so beautiful so sexy! Yaaaaas, ok now into the bad, The duck was chewy but flavorful , the noodles were so flavorful and was so so soooo good!! However the fried rice was meh . Spicy, could not taste the crab and only had two little baby crab bits on it. Im already excited to order from them again and try something else from the menu. I will not rest until I've tried most things on the menu read more

I am very disappointed with the customer service I received by phone with a representative at Bua. After running morning errands I went to Bua for my first meal of the day. About 45 minutes to an hour after leaving the restaurant I started feeling sick and having pain in my stomach. I gave it several hours to see if the sickening feeling in my stomach would go away, it did not, so I decided to call the restaurant. A lady answered the phone. I asked to speak to the manager. The lady told me I had to tell her what I needed to talk to the manager about before she could put the manager on the phone. I told her the reason for my call she quickly gets defensive and proceeds to argue her point, telling me the spicy food is the reason for my upset stomach. I responded by saying, "ma'am you don't know how spicy I ordered my meal." "I didn't and don't get my food spicy." She continued to argue her point. I couldn't believe it!!! She never offered an apology, and honestly an apology would have been enough for me. I got nothing but an argument from this lady! I expressed to her that I have been eating at Bua for many years, and I have never gotten sick. Management please!!! Teach your employees how to handle this type of situations. read more

Just moved here and found this gem!! The pad Thai was the best I have had since living in Hawaii. I got the level 3 shrimp pad Thai my husband got level 5 beef pad Thai . We both agree they were the perfect amount of heat as we love spicy food! Highly recommend coming here! read more

Good food but a bit too oily and if you are super hungry, you should think twice about going here! I waited over 35 minutes to get my food on a Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. There were only 3 more parties in the whole restaurant! So there was no excuse for that long of a wait, It seemed like the 3 people I saw working there, were wearing many hats! Serving, answering calls, attending to pickups, etc. Then 2 would disappear! I wonder if they were also making the food! I might try them again if I'm in the area and reconsider giving them another star if the food be less oily and service is better. read more

We love Bua Thai! We tried it for the first time in the fall and since then, we have ordered from Bua almost every two weeks! Their food is fresh, authentic, and very flavorful. They also have the perfect COVID-friendly pickup process because they have a drive-thru window. Some of our favorite dishes are Tom Yum soup with chicken, pad Thai, drunken noodle, and crab wontons. My word of wisdom is to be careful when ordering through their website- it isn't very clear where you can indicate what spice level you prefer. One time, every item in our order was mild, and we were really bummed! I personally will not order anything above medium spiciness... it's the perfect amount, and I LOVE spicy food! Anything above that wouldn't be enjoyable. If you're in the mood for some delicious Thai food, give Bua a shot! You won't regret it!! read more

Food was very good. Service was great and efficent. Enjoyed the restaurant. Will be back!!

Do your taste a buds a favor and get over to Bua Thai ASAP! I have been fortunate to have Thai food made at home, Thai food in New York and now Bua! I don't usually recommend everything on a menu. However, at Bua it's safe to say anything you order will be delicious! Like I said though, don't take my word for it...your taste buds will thank you! read more

We ventured into this restaurant because of the po tak soup. A seafood soup not often on a Thai menu in the states. Filled with fish, calamari rings, mussels and shrimp. The seafood was perfectly poached and the flavors were a perfect blend of spices. The chicken laap is just as a good as the one my mother makes at home. Service was above and beyond, friendly and although the staff were wearing mask you could tell they were smiling. They served spring rolls as appetizers along with a broth soup, also a highlight. Note: They do close for lunch between 3-430. I Highly recommended this restaurant for great service and great food if you want to taste what Thai food with true authentic flavors. read more

Very intimate & quiet restaurant when going to dinner. There wasn't a lot of people but it was still such good food. I got the Khao Soi curry noodle soup & it was so good that I took it home to finish off the rest because there was still so much food leftover. We also ordered a big appetizer for the table (Starter Combo) so that probably didn't help. But the inside is so pretty clean, a little modern, & very sleek! read more

This place was amazing! A very clean restaurant, and we were sat immediately. We started our order with the chicken and veggie egg rolls. They were so flavorful and crispy! Then I ordered the beef noodle soup. The broth was so smooth, delicious, and hearty. The perfect fall time soup. My partner ordered the curry which he loved. We shared a plate of Thai fried rice and wow! That was the best part of the meal. It was so dang good. I will definitely be returning very soon!! read more

Amazing Thai food, so flavorful and yummy. You can order anything and be happy. This is a great place to explore your Thai cuisine.

So delicious and authentic. They have been my go-to Thai since I moved here 3 years ago. Everything I've had has been delish! During Covid I've noticed they have a drive thru now and I've definitely been more often. Please support our family owned and operated businesses. read more

very good satay!! the thai iced tea was also very good. the yellow curry was very spicy the way i like it though i wasnt impressed by the overall flavor. the vegetables did not taste totally washed to me, it just wasnt my favorite curry out of the ones i have tried from other restaurants. service was nice and straightforward and the restaurant had a very nice atmosphere. i wouldnt go here for curry but i would absolutely try anything else on the menu and always get the satay read more

I love me some Thai food, and usually on vacation I try to indulge in as many different ethnic cuisines as possible, but this one didn't please me to my standards. My man was craving Thai and after a long morning of flying, baggage, rental car pick up and getting lost in a new town, all I wanted was food! He found this spot on yelp and it looked cute on the outside. The inside looked busy. Nearly every table was full, and if it wasn't it was full of the last patrons dishes. They had two servers for the entire restaurant. That means, answering phones, checking on guests, serving food, clearing off tables, handling to go orders. So a lot of requests went unheard/forgotten. read more

Great food, decent service, nice atmosphere. We make sure to stop by every time we're in town. I got the pad see ew, which was delicious. Portions are massive, definitely 2 meals worth. Note that the spice scale is 1-6 and they are not shy with the heat. The highest we got was a 4 and I don't think anyone in our group could have handled anything higher. They were also playing a Taylor Swift only playlist the last time we were there and honestly it made me like Bua even more. read more

Bua Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew (chicken) - Thai Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

My go to spot for thai in the denver-aurora area. Their curries are amazing, especially the massaman and pumpkin curries! Many places I've been have either made their curries very thick or runny, but they nailed that sweet spot! I also do recommend the tamarind fish which is a chef special as well. Due to the pandemic it has also become one of our go to take out spots. read more

Amazing place to get curry or pad Thai. Their Thai tea is soooo delicious. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to try Thai food.

We stopped by here because we had just moved to Colorado and were looking for a go-to place to satisfy our Thai food craving. The restaurant is very cute on the inside with lots of decor. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious! Everything came out quickly and it was all very fresh. Ordered the pad see ew and the pad Thai. Definitely coming back. read more

I ordered the wild jungle curry and drunken flat noodles all for myself... haha and I got a Thai tea when I came to pick up the food. Kind of random location but the food was pretty authentic and not very oily. Good flavors and you can choose your spice level. Looks like this might be my go to Thai place read more

This was excellent! I love curry if it were a person I would marry it. I had a Panang curry chicken 4 out of 6 spicy. Lunch comes with an eggroll (vegetarian). The spice level was perfect for me, and I like it pretty hot. I can't wait to come back and eat more food here. They also make the curries classic, and don't throw broccoli in everything. Not that I hate broccoli, I just don't want any in traditional thai curry. read more

Bua Thai Restaurant - Panang chicken 4 out of 6 spicy - Thai Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is GOOD Thai food! These days it's so common to get rushed mediocre Asian. Bua Thai takes their time to ensure a delicious quality of food. In addition, the customer service (we ate in) is excellent. And we were not an easy crew! read more

Hands down the best pad see ew in aurora. Maybe all of Colorado. That's really all I order anytime I get Thai and I've yet to find a good place... until today. I want to know who orders a 5 on the spicy scale. I got a two and couldn't eat more than half of my dish. Do people actually eat a 5?! I'd like to shake their hand! I did give them a 4 instead of a 5 because this dish was $2 more than anywhere in Aurora (that's I've had and I've had it a few place now...) plus they charged $1 more for chicken. I went with the veggie (trying to be a fake vegetarian) and it was super good. I'm not a mushroom fan and there weren't any in their veggie blend, but that's just me getting lucky I guess. read more

The food was amazing!..careful now, don underestimate the spiciness levels. The service was 5star. Ambiance was on point. I will definitely be back. read more

Came in for dinner before indoor dinning was closed once again. We ordered the appetizer sampler, a curry and pai Thai which was delicious! The curry the next day was even better now. The pai Thai had great flavor and the perfect amount of spice. So glad it's so close to out house. read more

The pad thai was okay but the fried rice was horrible. It was pasty and unseasoned. Not my preference, sorry

After getting a craving for Thai food, I decided to choose the closest place nearby without reading any reviews. Their Pad Thai was good, but I felt like it was missing something. I wasn't blown away by the flavor, but the service was very fast and the waitress was friendly which made my dining experience a pleasant one overall. read more

Bua Thai Restaurant - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Based on the reviews here, I was a bit disappointed with my vegetable pad Thai. It fell flat. The dish had very little flavor outside of a very mild spice (I asked for spice level 4, which should have been pretty spicy). The veggies were mostly giant baby corns (my least favorite veggie in Thai dishes, but it's just preference), a few pieces of tomato and chunks of cabbage. There was one piece of carrot and no broccoli. The egg in this dish was very odd. It looked like pieces of meat. I pulled most of it out since I wasn't positive that it want meat. I'd like to think it was just odd looking egg pieces. I only ate about 1/3 of the dish, it just wasn't appetizing. Maybe some of their other dishes are home runs but not this one, not this time. This restaurant does have a drive thru which I've never seen for a Thai restaurant before. Interesting! read more

Just a simple idea. If you lack the ability to deliver - 100% of the time, then modify your ad. Anything short of that is false advertising. Try something like, "can't guarantee sufficient staff for delivery." read more

This was our first time here and we decided to dine in. We were extremely pleased with everything about this restaurant! It was very clean and our waiter was so polite, friendly, and helpful. Both the service and the food were very timely! We had the Red Curry with Chicken and the Pad Gra Prow and we were delighted with both. They were so flavorful and fresh! We will absolutely be coming back. read more

What a lovely way to start my vacation in Colorado. The meal was absolutely delicious. We ordered glass noodles (Pad Thai), a mango curry with chicken, and brown rice with chicken and a spicy shrimp salad. The Thai iced tea came in these really cool glasses. Also, they played some great music, great choices. Good service, too. read more
