Had some trouble finding it but this is apparently their new location that opened up in the plaza across from the No Frills. Service was attentive, and while it was not the best Thai food I've eaten, it was decent to satisfy my craving. I went with what Yelpers suggested and got the pad thai and asked for it with tamarind sauce (so you don't get the ketchup) - this was very tasty and a hit amongst my party. Recommend. I ordered some kind of red curry which was just a tad too spicy, but alright overall. Someone mentioned they liked the pineapple fried rice, but this dish fell below my expectations. I personally didn't find it flavorful enough and quite bland/un-memorable. I think this was the dish that had leftovers... Not the best Thai I've eaten, and probably not somewhere I would venture to again, but not a bad choice if you're in the area and you're craving some Thai food. read more

Our favourite go to restaurant! The service is great! The food is sooo yummy! Anytime we recommend this place to people, they are happy about it! We did wish that it was open longer, earlier, etc depending on the day but its forgivable because of how good the food is! Please don't ever let that quality slip! read more

2014..... No debit?! Plus no immediate bank machine at that corner, get interac; it's about a decade+ late but you can still get on the technology wave.. read more

Just picked up some take out from Bua Thai on a rainy saturday night. Everything we ordered was great! 1. Crispy Beef - still haven't found a beef that rivals Green Basil in the beach, but this is a great version of a crispy beef. Very flavourful sauce. 2. Radner noodles - this was our first time trying it, and it was very nice. It's noodles that are deep fried to a point that they are almost like the shaved onions that you get on a steak. You then pour the sauce with veggies and meat onto the noodles to rehydrate them. Sounds complicated but they are very tasty. 3. Pad Thai - no explanation, just good 4. Mango Sticky rice - best we've had! read more

We had a great dinner here from start to finish a few weeks ago. We ordered fried shrimp as apps. Pad thai and Green Curry as mains. Fried banana as dessert. All in all, large portions, satisfying flavour and not badly priced. read more

Great prices. Don't get the pad thai though - extremely greasy. The pineapple fried rice is out of this world and rice centered dish have that authentic taste. Fast delivery and fast take-out. Park across the street at No Frills so you don't have to pay. read more

it's a shame about this place--they have such great potential. they use fresh, quality ingredients and the menu is fairly authentic. but there's nothing worse than finishing a meal and regretting the fact that you paid for it (or how much you paid for it). when you finish a good meal, that you paid for it, isn't even on your mind. we ordered at 8:45pm. they close at 10pm, stop taking delivery orders at 9pm. when the food arrived, the delivery driver mentioned that it would be nice if we could order earlier. he mentioned that they asked him if he would deliver it and he was going to say "no" but then he looked at the address and remembered that he delivered here before. he mentioned all of this before he was tipped. (it's a good thing that my partner was the one who answered the door!) my partner said that perhaps he should talk to his boss about their delivery hours. the driver quickly, said, "no, no, it's just that it's late, you know?". so that was the appetizer--guilt. as my partner pulled out the styrofoam container, there was a black curly hair stuck to the top of it. my partner is blond and bald. I ordered a lemongrass soup and a salad. like I said, fresh ingredients and the soup was tasty. but it was spicy. and that was not indicated on the menu, and the reason I chose it. (I like spicy, but I was sick.) the salad: the beef was sinewy (when an adult has to pull chewed-up bits of food out of their mouth, you know it's bad), and it came with the dressing on it so everything was wilted*. there was also dressing on the side, which was hardly necessary, because it looked like a soup was in the container. and the type of "dressing" could only be described as "beef". beef dressing. *the salad was wilted because the hot food was packed with the cold food. and then probably put in some contraption to keep the order hot while it traveled from point a to point b. two fantastic ideas for a salad. my partner's noodle dish was made vegetarian. as in, no chicken, no shrimp, sub tofu. they charged him the same price. all the other noodle dishes offer a price reduction with the vegetarian version option. in sum, slightly more than mediocre but overall disappointing. read more

My husband and I love this place,we usually order wonton soup ,chicken Thai basil ,spring roll and green chicken curry.

This restaurant sincerely sticks to their Thai roots. The tom yum soup has a great depth of flavour, while my wife's wonton soup had a light but tasty broth. As entrees we had the peanut curry and pad khah Mao (Thai spicy noodles)... The curry is probably their best selling item as it's amazing (others in restaurant were ordering it). Their spicy noodles were spicy but flavorful, not overpowering. I would definitely come back...a definite great Thai experience!! read more

Very nice. Reasonably priced, good service, food tasted fresh and came quickly. I had the tamarind curry with veg. We'll be back. read more

Awesome food every single time. Used to have take-outs and had dine in few times. Always jam packed and atmosphere is really nice and clean. Staff always friendly and have smile on their faces. Really a gem on west end of city. You must try. My fav dishes are pad-thai(ask with tamarind sauce), pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp, delicious mango salad. read more

Bua Thai Restaurant - Pad Thai , pineapple chicken shrimp rice, grilled pork (yum) - Thai Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

See all

Maybe it's because I lived downtown for 15 years and was spoiled for choice, but I find the food here mediocre at best. With downtown Thai restaurants like Khao San Road offering up real five star fare, I would only eat here because I live within walking distance and Mimico options are limited. I can't speak for the meat dishes, but the vegetarian options are bland, salty, and uninspired. When I eat out, I want to feel the love, and at Bua Thai, I don't even feel the like. That said, my parents really like the food here. Mind you, they moved here from Pickering, so... read more

One of the rare places in Toronto that offer Authentic & Real Thai food. The ambience in this place is very nice, very relaxing. The food quality is very good, and they have many choices. The portions are also decent for the price you pay. I definitely recommend this if you are looking for Authentic Thai food. read more

I've taken parties there maybe a dozen times. Consistently good, and fresh. They don't keep giant vats simmering all day. And they don't kill everything with salt. Lunch is the best bang for buck. read more

Food was average, perhaps because we had their lunch special. Having said that would have gone back to try ala carte dinner, had the service been good. Unfortunately the service was incredibly slow with only two servers on a jam pack lunch crowd. Our three orders came in piece meal rather then being served at the same time, didn't feel like we had a full Thai experience. Sorry Bua Thai, we tried but going back to Green Mango on Bloor read more

Brutal. Never coming back here. Took forever. Hire more people if you cant handle the volume. Food is average at best.

Excellent Thai food. As a matter of fact, my favourite in Toronto! Pate, Penang curry, massamun curry are all super delicious! Staff is friendly, although a couple of mistaken orders during a busy Friday night when they had more staff than usual. Maybe a language barrier? All in all, would still return and definitely recommend! read more

Food was delicious! I didn't try the pad Thai, but did a family style with 3 other people. We had the fish, Bua Thai platter, Beef Green Curry, and a duck red curry. Everything was perfectly seasoned and had the right amount of spice. read more

Been to Bua Thai 3 times in a month now. Excellent food, big portions, never too busy, extremely quick and friendly service. One of my favourite restaurants in Etobicoke, highly recommended. read more

Amazing customer service, they are all so kind and genuine. The food is amazing always tastes fresh. Stop by with my family often and am never disappointed. It's all around amazing and worth the price. Definitely recommend. read more

Maybe it was just the specific dish that I ordered, but Bua Thai has some of the better Thai food that I've had in a long time. Had the Winter Rolls to start; nice and fresh, crisp and comes along with a tangy/spicy dipping sauce to boot. For my entree, I had the Spicy Basil Noodle with Chicken. Generally speaking, if a Thai restaurant has a good Spicy Basil (sometimes Spicy Basil Leaf, or Thai Basil Leaf), it should be a good indication that it has some other good Thai dishes. For the record, Bua Thai has one of the top Spicy Basil dishes that I've ever had. The noodles were not soggy (I hate that), the peppers and onions were crisp, there wasn't TOO much basil leaf (which for me gets annoying), the chicken was evenly cut and tender, and the sauce gave things a good kick. My cousin got the Red Curry, and he was happy with it. Bottom line, I'm a fan of this place. read more

The place is small but the food is amazing and the service is fast the food was on the table in 10min..would totally recommend it we had the chicken and shrimp pad Thai and the red curry amazing read more

I love this place! My favourite order is tofu satay, which comes with a nice peanut dipping sauce, and KTM which is a vegan dish with shiitake mushrooms and chinese spinach (or spanich as their menu says!) I have also ordered curry there, and they were very accommodating about making it without fish sauce for me. I have also tried a spicy eggplant dish (I can't remember if it was actually called spicy eggplant but it had a lot of eggplant and was very spicy!) It was also very good, but too spicy for me. Not all of the servers speak english very well but they are all very friendly, at least when I've been. I have only had one slightly negative experience, and it was nothing too major: once when I got take out, they forgot to include the peanut sauce for my tofu satay. It turns out that the sauce is where all the flavour comes from, so the satay was very disappointing that day. Aside from that my experiences have all been positive. read more

Four of us just stopped in for dinner and its a sure bet we'll be back, and probably soon. Now, it wasn't 'amazing' but it was certainly delicious and enjoyable, with a comfortable atmosphere. The staff was very nice and accommodating with a couple of special requests. read more

food was not very impressive.. very greasy- don't order the grilled fish- ours was undercooked, and dry in some places. and the waitresses are aggressive about the tip you leave them...stay away! read more

My weekly thai fix, I've been happy with every entre I've tried. I have to say the red curry is inconsistent, somedays it is spicy wonderfulness, and some times less so, different cook perhaps. read more

Have been here a few times and each time I am more impressed. They seem to be listening to feedback from customers and are making improvements. The food is great, good portion sizes and fresh. Great value. Try "The Duo" appetizer, you won't be disappointed by the crispy taro and fried tofu with peanut sauce. Nice ginger honey tea with your dessert will leave you feeling happy. One recent poster on Yelp commented the they would not make substitutions for vegetarians... I couldn't disagree more. We were dining with a vegan and they made every substitution you could want. They have tofu or veg as an option for almost all dishes. I would say that easily 2/3 of the menu was or could be made vegetarian by choosing the tofu option. Recommended. Will be back. read more

I used to love this place, we'd order from here weekly for delivery. We moved out of the delivery area (barely) and they could not make a 1 minute exception to their normal area of delivery. That said my wife and I went back for the first time in a year and I was greatly disappointed by the soggy fish cakes, I had to drown them in their sweet and spicy sauce. My pad thai had a ketchup taste to it, the sort experience I expect from a thai + chinese + japanese food place in some small town. I tried my wifes pad thai hor khai, and it tasted like it had campbell soup onion base in it. I don't know if this place changed ownership or what, but I am greatly saddened to lose one of my favourite places to eat. read more

Great Thai for the area. Friendly service and good atmosphere. We enjoy the green curry and have ordered quite a few other dishes. Their chicken lemongrass soup is quite nice on a cold day. This is our go-to place in the hood if we're feeling like Thai. read more

Positive: - shrimp and chicken were decent size pieces - too pricy Negative: - they don't take debit (who does that?) - pad Thai Hor Kai is bland - pad Thai regular tastes like ketchup (more so than any regular pad Thai I've had) Verdict: I would go back for half the price. It's ok. I've had better. This is by far the worst Pad Thais I've had. But it doesn't taste awful.. read more

Finally some real tasty Thai food. Try the curries or anything spicy( it's not really that hot) and cool your mouth with a Thai Ice tea. Great value and tasty. read more

My friends and I were going to a concert on Saturday and looking for a 'nice' place to eat; we stumbled on this gem! The food was excellent, reasonably priced and the service hospitable; we really enjoyed the young person who served us! We were impressed with the décor and cleanliness of the restaurant also. I highly recommend eating at Bua Thai and we will be back when next in the area! Bravo! read more

Fresh thai and great service. Curries are rich and flavourful, try the peanut chicken curry. Fresh rolls are crisp and light. If you ask for spicy, they deliver. Looking forward to getting through the rest of the menu! read more

I read some of the reviews before ordering...I always get worried about whatI'm going to expect when I eat Thai food. There are so many different flavours and I have had really bad Thai before. Anyways I ordered the basil noodle with chicken...pretty good. I usually go for this dish. I also ordered spring rolls, but I was so full I couldn't really enjoy them, but they didn't taste too bad. read more

We ordered the pineapple fried rice, green curry beef and bua platter. The rice was super flavourful and not greasy, they were also very accommodating and left out the shrimp for us. The green curry was rich with flavour and hit the spot. We also really enjoyed the spring rolls and satay in the platter. Wasn't a huge fan of the summer rolls, but that's personal preference. Keep up the good work and we will definitely be back! read more

You can't go wrong here with anything you order. The food is so good order the mango salad so fresh and amazing flavour and colour presentation. The peanut curry is also rich in flavour and taste. The staff is friendly and you always have a full glass of cold water. read more

BEST THAI EVER!! Go here if you want some of the most incredible thai you've ever had! The curries are flavourful and creamy but not so much that it makes you feel ill, the Bua appetizer platter was so delicious and their mango salad and fresh rolls are to die for! We also ordered the pad thai tom yum. it was good as well! The staff are friendly and not in your face and it's just a great atmosphere ! read more

I don't understand all the positive reviews. Our food was mediocre at best. I've had much better Thai almost everywhere else. I had the basil chicken and it was far too salty and lacked flavour. The noodles were overcooked and sticky. On the plus side, the chicken pieces were very good but it could not make up for a bland overly salty dish. 5/10. read more

I like this for a local Etobicoke Thai restaurant. I usually always order the same thing. Sticky rice and tofu mango stir fry. It's always good. They don't accept debit which is a little annoying. read more

Yummy! If you order the Pad Thai ask for the original (withTamarind) to avoid ketchup. Sweet server, comfortable atmosphere, and well priced. read more
