    Thai Chicken Wings
    Malcolm H.

    I came here for a casual dinner with a friend that I have not seen in awhile. When you enter its hard to not notice the awesome atmosphere this restaurant has to offer, from the wall décor to the furniture. It is not a very big restaurant but has plenty of character to it. When I had visited, inside was surprisingly empty as we were the only ones dining, but there was plenty of people in and out with to-go orders. Which is fine, but in my opinion with how good the food tasted I would have expected more patrons to be dining in for a dinner service. For a starter I ordered the chicken wings and a Thai iced tea. The wings came out very quickly and saying they were fried to perfection is an understatement. I wish I knew their secret, but the wings had an amazing fried crisp to them, and the meat was juicy and fall off the bone. Also I can appreciate the size of the wings. To put in comparison, imagine a wing from Buffalo Wild Wings, and double it. These were some healthy chickens they get their wings from. As for my tea, it was smooth and silky with the perfect amount of cream and sweetness. I am pretty basic when it comes to visiting Thai restaurants....I always order Pad Thai. It's a classic and I feel is a fair way to judge a restaurant on their food. This was nothing short of amazing from the portion size to the taste. The noodles came out al dente and flavored with each bite. The chicken was also seasoned and prepared very well and the chopped peanuts are also a nice touch. And did I mention the portion size?? I am a very large man and was debating on only eating half and saving rest for lunch the next day. I ended up eating the whole thing was not disappointed.

    So just WOW! So mad that we've lived around here for almost 4 years and we are just now getting to eating here! We started with honeydew bubble tea which was delicious and super refreshing on such a beautiful early evening. We order the pad pal which was perfectly priced and we got it with no meat accidentally as my husband did it that way because he said he couldn't quite understand the absolutely sweet and helpful woman. It was a wonderful mistake because we got to really enjoy the tastiness of the brown garlic sauce on the vegetables and sopping all over the rice was divine. We cannot wait to go back and have another little date night there in the quaint but festive and lovely decorated space. The entrance area is beautiful with pretty pink flowers that I think are cherry blossoms from floor to ceiling in one corner. We can't wait to return and the prices are perfect!

    L11. Busaya Seafood

    We came to Busaya Thai to try out my girlfriend's parents favorite thai restaurant in the area. We started with the papaya salad, which had a really strong fish sauce flavor to it and could have been balanced better with other ingredients. The dumplings were pretty good, nice and crispy with a good amount of filling on the inside. I ordered the Busaya seafood, which came with a seafood mix in a sauce that seemed to be coconut creamed based. It was difficult to distinguish a particular flavor to the dish, and I have had better versions of this dish closer to DC where they added peppercorns and the sauce was a little more flavorful! all in all the service was super quick and they took really good care of us! I would recommend this place for a quick place for decent Thai food

    I've had dinner at Busaba Thai a couple of times recently. The space used to be occupied by a Thai restaurant named "Burapa Cafe" - which has been closed for some time. I believe there was a relationship between the two - but I've not confirmed it: https://www.yelp.com/biz/burapa-cafe-haymarket-3 The first time at Busaba - I ordered dinner to go: Tom Yum soup (spicy lemongrass soup), Som Tum (Papaya salad), and Drunken Noodles w/ extra chicken. The soup and salad were rather average as Thai offerings go - but the Drunken Noodles were outstanding! The second time - a friend and I met for dinner and dined in. I ordered the Larb Gai as an appetizer, and then for dinner - the Ka-Prow with chicken. I ordered both to be very spicy. The Larb Gai was rather ordinary, and was not at the spice (heat) level I hoped for. However, the Ka-Prow was tasty and very spicy! My friend also ordered some of the vegetable rolls - they are served in this cute little mini fryer basket. I tried one - nice texture and flavor. Service was good. #BusabaThaiHaymarket

    Legitimately the worst thing I've eaten in a long time…read more Service was terrible, there was only one other table besides us and they took their sweet getting our drinks, and order. Ordered summer rolls, they were decent. Thai chicken curry pastry- 1st time out they were frozen in the middle and lava on the outside. 2nd time around flavor was good, but was all potato's and no meat. Ordered the pork vermicelli bowl with spring rolls. Noodles were over cooked, sauce was just wrong. I've had vermicelli bowls many times and this places sauce is just flat out terrible. Pork was so over cooked it was brittle. Spring roll filling was all veggies and no flavor.

    Small restaurant in a very weirdly organized strip mall. Our order was taken promptly…read more Having a different server bring one dish resulted in me getting my friend's vermicelli with grilled pork. I started to eat before we realized. I found the dish tasteless and the pork tough. When she got her order of that same dish, she found it bland as well. We both left over almost all of these dishes and didn't take any home. I was surprised that they didn't ask if it was ok given how much we left over. My original order of Thai tossed noodles (spicy) was just ok. I took the remainder home thinking I'd finish it at dinner, but it didn't smell all that appetizing so I ended up not eating it. Was disappointed that they actually made us (me) pay for the dish that I got that was supposed to be my friend's ($15). But the real reason I wouldn't return is that I didn't particularly enjoy the food. It wasn't awful, just not that particularly good.

It was packed early on a Saturday night considering it was 20° and freezing…read more We were seated by the door but they were kind enough to let us move to a table farther away so we can be warm. The service here is amazing. Their sodas come in giant beer glasses but I still needed a refill which they brought promptly. I love that. The pork tenderloin appetizer was so good I forgot to take a pic. I had their tom yum soup with shrimp and the pad Thai white chicken. Both tasted very authentic. I thought the noodles for pad Thai were strange (very thin, not the usual flat noodles) but the flavor was on point. My friends got the cashew chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and crispy basil fried rice with chicken and both cleaned their plates. Overall wonderful experience. This is only my second time here and I plan to go again soon. Highly recommend!!

I ordered the chicken parang curry and it was delicious. Chicken wasn't dry and the panang curry had a hint of spicy and sweet. All the hallmarks I was looking for. I was worried because they offered a lot in the menu but it didn't take long to receive my food. I was able to order my spicy salmon roll, which was a nice plus. Pleasant experience. Will come again
