My family and I ordered Bua Thai through DoorDash and overall, the food was delicious! I had the Rama Chicken with a medium spice level, and it was spot on...just the right amount of heat and a generous portion of tender chicken. My fiancé ordered the Garlic Chicken with mild spice, but his dish came out much spicier than expected. Not sure if there was a mix-up, but it definitely packed more heat than "mild." My future sister-in-law and brother-in-law both got Pad See Ew with chicken; one with no spice and one mild. They both enjoyed it! My future brother-in-law thought it was a little too saucy compared to what he's used to, but my future sister-in-law liked it that way, so it seems to come down to preference. We also shared the Bua Thai Rolls appetizer, which was absolutely delicious.. crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Since this was a DoorDash order, we can't comment on in-person service, but from a takeout standpoint, the food arrived fresh, hot, and tasty. We'll definitely be ordering again when we vacation in the area ! read more

Delicious pupu platter! Each item had its own seasoning and dipping sauce. Off season most of the restaurants in the area had closed up for the winter, but the family run business sticks it out. They were doing takeout and counter service only and it looked a little sketchy, but it turned out to be a delicious meal. read more

We frequently order from this restaurant as we live just around the corner and the food is always amazing. It's well packaged so it stays hot and fresh, and the service is excellent. We've usually eat here about once a week and so they usually remember my name and order as we always ordered the Pad Thai. I've recently expanded my menu choices and it's all good! My current favorite dish is their orange chicken. The chicken egg rolls are also delicious! The restaurant itself is a very welcoming environment. It's not too big and provides a very authentic experience. Just try it, you won't regret it! read more

Tastiest curry in Maine! I've been looking for real curry for a long time and found it in OOB

Take out only, but delicious and affordable, efficient and friendly. Open year round and late hours.

We got DoorDash from Bua when it was recommended by a friend. The outside of the place looks like nothing special as described to me by my friend but the food is really good. Probably the best duck I've had from a Thai place. Drunk Noodles and Red Curry as well. Don't pass it by! read more

I ordered takeout from here when we were on vacation a few weeks ago and I was super happy. I've spent lots of time in Thailand and I'm rarely impressed at American Thai restaurants, but this was delicious. If ever I'm back in the area I'd certainly order from Bua Thai again. read more

Best Thai in the area. Loved Drunken Noodles and Spicy Basil Fried Rice. Fast service take out.

This has been one of our 'must do meals' for every trip to Maine for the past five or more years. The food is simply the best. Still is, but.... Recent reviews failed to mention that they are still exclusively take out now or 'self service' at one of the few remaining tables. Half of the small room has been partitioned off for storage. It's a shame, we really enjoyed eating in there. Place your order by phone or their website. Otherwise you'll find yourself standing and jotting your order onto small post it notes to hand to the woman behind the counter as we did. Seriously. We waited more than a half hour for our order. Credit to them having it ready nearly on time. Disappointed though that we had to take the food back to our hotel to eat in the breakfast area off cheap paper plates with phasic utensils. It's just not the same. Like a Covid time warp. read more

My family has been going to Bua Thai since they opened (over 10 years). We frequently tell people that it's the best Thai food in Southern Maine, if not the state. The restaurant has been closed for about 6 weeks. This isn't unusual as the owners are known to take a multi-week trip to Thailand every other year or so. Assuming that was the reason again this year three of us we were excited to order tonight's dinner when they reopened this week. I'm heartbroken to say that our meal was not up to their normal standard. It was poorly seasoned (the main reason we enjoy Thai food), slimy, and generally lackluster. I don't mind paying a little extra for quality Thai food, but tonight it was not. Perhaps a different cook - but disappointing nonetheless. We will give things a few weeks and try again just in case it was a reopening slump, but we won't continue going if things don't improve. I hope they do. read more

Is the best Thai food restaurant hands down. My favorite is Thai chicken and sauté. read more

Let me set this straight, probably some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten. My dad and I were STARVING and had a hankering for some red curry. We saw this place on the side of the road and honestly weren't expecting much but boy were we wrong. We first had a soup (forget the name) which was incredible. The broth was refreshing and cleansed my soul. Next we had some scallion pancakes which were good as well. For the main course we had shrimp fried rice and the flavor was incredible. The rice wasn't sticking together which is something I always commend and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The highlight of my meal was the red curry. This is he best red curry I have ever had. A good solid portion of vegetables and chicken dropped in the best tasting red curry. Truly tantalized my tase buds. The interior was super cool and the people working there were cooler. If you want to be surprised, come here, 15/10 recommend read more

Don't go for the ambiance, go for the fantastic food! While they can't currently offer table service, I recommend takeout. You won't be disappointed. I'be been to plenty of Thai places in big cities and this food rivals any of those. Definitely give it a try! read more

Best Thai I've had. Hands down. Thought Thai food could only be so good. Thought it was just good after a certain point. I was very wrong, this was super flavorful and well balanced! I get this EVERY TIME I'm in OOB. Which is at least once a month since I found out this place. Plus I live out of state. Service is wonderful, the owner is very kind! After I had bua Thai I went to all my past favorite Thai places to make sure. I'm sure it's the best I've had as every time I get Thai now I am quite disappointed. A must read more

My favorite place for take out in oob! Everything that I have had is fantastic. Can't wait to get it again!

Only went once but I'd love to go again, the food was of course delicious, the server was friendly, and the environment was colorful, I absolutely loved all the colors around me. read more

They are not having lunch portions before 3 p.m. anymore so I ended up not ordering. Loved the lunch portions so went to Asian House instead read more

Hands down best Thai food in Maine. During these crazy times they have taken every precaution and more to deliver delicious germ free food! When I pulled up for pick up they have a complete corona set up screened by plastic sheets, hand sanitizer and speaker to communicate through, so impressed. If more businesses took these precautions America would be in a much better place. Thank you bua! read more

This is the best Thai food I've had we've been goin here since they opened and im we never. Had a complaint it will definitely fill your belly the Bua Thai rolls are soooo good and the drunken noodles with chicken never disappoints read more

As it turns out I was not double charged for my last order but was clearly pointed out I had an old menu and prices have gone up between 30-40 percent in the last several years since we ate here last. $10.95 for a small quantity of wings and everything else we ordered so so food with inflated prices that instead of being used to improve the place will keep me away for good. read more

This restaurant appears to be only take out- I was taken aback by the no contact service- it was very extreme. I like to see who is selling me food and have human interaction. The food was ok but not great for the price. read more

Bua Thai Restaurant - You talk to a speaker and cannot see through the plastic - Thai Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Hey, when you think of Old Orchard Beach you think seafood like lobster and fried clams and while that is pretty popular, well there is a fantastic Thai place called Bua Thai that you must check out! I am pretty predictable when ordering Thai as I will always get veggie Pad Thai. This experience I ordered an appetizer of fresh veggie spring rolls. The Pad Thai was spot on and loaded with veggies. The spring roll was great as well. I am thinking that Bua Thai is now my #1 place to go for Thai when I am in the Old Orchard Beach. read more

STILL the hands down absolute best Thai restaurant in Maine. I fall in love with every bite! This place is a MUST!

I ordered a Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai and the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice. I was very disappointed. The pad thai lacked any flavor and didn't have a bit of spiciness. The bland excuse for fried rice was disgusting. The chicken was over cooked and the rice was wet. One bite was all I could take. I get Pad Thai at many other Thai restaurants and this was the worst. I bought $41 of garbage minus the beer. I will not be back. read more

Most delicious and flavorful spicy Thai food. Crispy and seasoned chicken wings which were a delight! I definitely recommend and my family will be going back in the future! read more

The place is small and quaint. It's half restaurant and half takeout. Decent service nonetheless. Note, during winter, which is when I went, the restaurant remains quite chilly. But they get a 3 because their food is heavily on the sweet side. Both times I went, I ordered noodle dishes (drunken noodle, which wasnt spicy at all by my standards, and pad thai) and was disappointed by how overly sweet both dishes were. read more

Tonight was the third time I've ordered take out here, and the third time my order was wrong. In the past it's only been one incorrect thing, and there's usually something in its place that's tolerable, and the food for the most part is okay. Tonight I had friends over--together we ordered 7 different things through Door Dash, and everything delivered was wrong. Four items were missing, two random overly cooked items were sent in their place (one was chicken wings so dry and overdone you couldn't even pull the chicken away from the bone easily, never mind chew it, and the other item was so burnt you couldn't tell what it was), one item was made with pork instead of chicken and none of us happen to like pork, the one correct item was so spicy that it left us without the ability to feel our tongue after taking a bite and spitting it out, and one of my friends ordered a grape Stewart's soda and they brought orange cream. Such a disappointment. Tonight was my last time frequenting this establishment. read more

Not a fan. Spicy pad thai not good. Prik king was okay. Fried rice was very rice-y without a lot of goodies. Cashew nut was also okay. Not terrible, but I'm not coming back. read more

We took takeout dinner from Bua Thai, the food was uncooked and didn't have any taste. We ordered drunken noodles and veg stir fry both were uncooked without any taste. The food was inedible so we ended up getting pizza what a waste of money n time with this place! read more

This was our first time at Bua Thai and we were very pleasantly surprised! When we first drove up, I was concerned.

We were weary because of the run down look but we're happy we looked past it! We have ordered the spicy pad Thai, green curry, fresh spring rolls, and bamboo stir fry. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for good Thai food! Also, you can order everything on a scale of 1-5 spice. read more

We picked this up as we pulled into our summer rental. Tried panang & green curries (delicious although very thin, generous with the veggies!), pad si ew (kids LOVED it but a bit sweet for me), spicy fried rice (perfection!), pad Thai (great!). We'd order here again!! read more

The BEST drunken noodles I've ever had in my life!! Full of flavor with the perfect mixture of flavor and I personally like to request it a little spicy. Also the sauce for their crab Rangoon's is SO GOOD. It's almost like a spicy garlicky sweet n sour sauce. I have never had anything better. I can honestly say the best Thai food around. Definitely my go to place for food. I recently moved to Florida and I am definitely missing and craving this place heavy read more

i got chicken wings , its really good , i love this place , sometime waitting long time but i understand cause they dont have employees,

Haven't tried the chicken since my last review BUT I take back the consistency part. They are VERY consistent and have been the BEST during this epidemic. From the jump they've taken precautions and I greatly appreciate it. My favorites are the crab fried rice and curry read more

I absolutely love this place. Don't be deceived by the outside because the food and service are amazing. I always order the pork dumplings, spring rolls, and massaman curry. My husband always gets the spicy bamboo. I also get their Thai iced tea which is phenomenal. This place is both wonderful for dining in, and for take out. Their prices are excellent, and I've never ever had a bad meal. So glad this restaurant is in Old Orchard Beach year round, they've always been a huge year round asset. read more
