This place is a hidden gem. It’s in a strip mall away from the street so you cannot really see it as you drive. The place is not crowded and the food is good. The price is reasonable and the quantity great. This place has a nice ambience. There was only one server but she was very efficient, extremely courteous and helpful. We were large party and she was not overwhelmed inspite of being the only one to serve.

Stopped by here for lunch on a Saturday and was seated promptly. They have lunch specials that come with daily soup and salad. We ordered some chicken satay and a lunch special (I got pad thai). Chicken satay pieces were huge and tasty. Portions for lunch entree were also decent. Overall a great thai place in the area.

Bua Thai is one of my FAVORITE Thai restaurants in SD!! Their menu is very expansive with many super traditional dishes. Everything is made from scratch including many of their seasonings and sauces. You can taste the authenticity in every dish because the chef takes so much pride in her cooking.

Worth the drive from anywhere in the county to have great Thai food! Curry is really well made with just right spices. Now I see why they have such high reviews. Service also is outstanding!

This little place was extremely good. I was very surprised and it seems like a hidden gem. We got a couple different Curry’s. The shrimp was so good and yellow curry was so food! The dumplings were also really good.

Very good plates are large enough to share. Everything was tasty and plated so nicely. The calamari appetizer was a hit! Service was great. Will be going back!

This place is pretty small. But they have a few large tables that if you go with a big group you can sit at. It is rather easy to find.I went with the drunken noodles with beef spice level five. I felt like the noodles were really spicy for level five but it wasnt like that spice where you couldnt eat it. It was still very flavorful. I kept having to drink allot of water but still wanted to eat more!The meat was nice and tender and chewy.I had picked up yellow curry for my coworker too since she wanted Thai food and shes said it was very good. I saw her lunch portion and its a pretty big portion for being lunch.Definitely going to be recommending this Thai place for all my coworkers now!I also got their coconut Thai coffee and yummy! I usually get Thai iced tea but this was something I haven’t seen on a menu before so I tried it and was not disappointed!!

This place was so great. The food is both beautiful and delicious. I ordered dried tofu and mango curry. The tofu was fried perfectly and was served with a dipping sauce. The curry was so flavorful I couldnt stop eating it. Sometimes chicken can get overcooked and chewy in curries, but it was very tender and flavorful here. Check them out!

My family and I went here for my birthday and we really enjoyed everything that we ordered. Best Thai place that Ive been to so far. Our server, Mona, was very friendly, kept on checking if we were okay and if we needed anything, very attentive and didnt have to wait for a long time for our food to be served. Customer service, food portions and price are all 💯!

The food itself is really good, but they consistently mess up orders. Im a vegetarian and ordered the vegetarian dumpling soup twice, and both times theyve brought out the meat version. The first time they fixed things and brought out the correct dish, and I ended up giving the meat dumplings to a non-vegetarian friend of mine to avoid wasting them. However, the second time was significantly worse. They once again agreed to bring out the correct ones, left us waiting for about twenty minutes for them, got them to go, and when we got home, this batch was also ALL meat. To add insult to injury, they said theyd comp us the item, but when I checked the receipt, I was still charged full price for them. Its the first time Ive gotten bad enough service at a restaurant to leave a bad review.

This great little Thai place was recommended by lovely friends of mine (Joyce&Jim) and I love it. House salad comes with fried tofu and the Tom Kha is very tasty and filling but just a heads up…I got spice level 5 on 1-10 scale and thought it might be too high but got a small chili paste in case and with chili paste I still could’ve gone up a notch or two on spice level. Lovely, clean, quaint and courteous, friendly service.

Great place tucked away at the back of a shopping center. Amazing food and great spice level. We had 3 dishes and loved all of them our new favorite Thai food!!! Also dont get too full before dessert or you will miss out on an amazing dish.

I’ve lived in Poway for three decades now and have tried many Thai restaurants in Poway but somehow missed this one when it’s the closest to where I live!I ordered crab fried rice, duck pad see ew, and curry puff chicken on line. Not many places make crab fried rice so I had to try it. My go to for a new place is to try the pad Thai but this time I went with Pad see ew. For a protein, I was excited to see duck as an option.The app said pick up in 30mins so when I got there my order was ready at the front door. Dine in options is closed at this place and only available for take out.The containers were carefully lined in foil to keep the dish moist and from leaking.The crab fried rice was average but it had lots of broken crab pieces. I got this as a level one and it was not spicy at all. I got the pad see ew with no spice and it was sweet. The duck was a great amount not stingy like most places. It was juicy not dry. Thai dishes tend to be sweet if not spicy. Still very good. The curry puff was delicious. Again, this was sweet. It came with a vinegar dipping sauce but I didn’t use it.The portions were generous where I had left overs the next day. Looking forward to try other dishes.

Ordered for to go today. The 2 Thai Fried rice were super salty and can not be eaten. Stir Fried eggplants was too salty even mixed with rice. Fried spring rolls were good. And Larb Kai was super salty and I dont know what to do with it...I used to dine here last year and it was totally disappointment. I called them and they offered the replacement. But it does not worth the time to drive out there in the rain.. Hopefully, they can make it better next time.

One of the best Thai restaurants in San Diego! Their Spicy Fried Rice and Drunken Noodles are my personal favorites. They have vegetarian\vegan options for people like me. Their spice levels are very true to taste. Try out their lunch menu, which is served with soup, salad and a spring roll! :)

This is typical Asian food for westerners, its not bad but not authentic. Most westerners will give it a good rank, but I bet the real Thai wont. Remember, it wont be authentic once the menu is English only.

Solid place for your Thai food cravings! Everything we ordered – quality, taste, portion – was amazing, and the service here is great. Would recommend.

I used to love this place. The food was amazing. The prices went up and the portions went down. I had the panang curry. It wasnt very good at all. There was almost no veggies in it at all. Like a few little pieces.

Review №19

2023-04-09 01:41:12

Good flavors and appropriate spice level. Fresh shrimp rolls are large but not overly flavorful. Fried chicken spring rolls were tasty. Both the pad see ew. And pad woo sen were very good, however the chicken was overcooked and dry. I’d suggest pork or beef instead- those were cooked perfectly. Curry was delicious but the portions are small (very small) so be aware of that when ordering. The other portion sizes were generous.I’d order from here again without hesitation.

First time here with my adult daughter. She had the Drunken Noodles with mock meat (spice level 10) and I had the Tom Kha soup (not spicy). We both had the soup and it was delicious! My daughter enjoyed her noodles, but said it wasnt spicy enough. People might look at her and think Oh, she cant handle a true 10” but she likes it SPICY! The server did bring the plate with all the pots of extra spicy stuff which my daughter used. The portions were very generous! We will definitely go out of our way to go here again! Highly recommend!

Best pad thai around, and most delicious pad see ew locally. Small and out of the way, but huge on taste. Very friendly service, and reasonable prices. A great place for lunch or dinner, and they have take away as well.

Best Pad Thai in San Diego. Super flavorful and properly spicy when requested. My prior favorite spot closed but this is even better than pattaya was. Curry is excellent as well. 8 spicy was equivalent to a medium at koon Thai. I suggest sticking to 5 spicy or less unless you really like spicy. I can taste the fresh Thai chilies.

Review №24

2022-02-18 21:52:07

Food was absolutely fantastic. I definitely will be back again. Red curry (if you are into curry) was probably the best Ive had.

Excellent service and great food. We ordered the panang curry and it was delicious. Staff is very friendly and professional. Prices are reasonable. The rice portions are kind of small, so we ordered two extra. Overall great experience.

Horrible Horrible Horrible service. I just tried to call and order some food to go and the lady who answered the phone is so so so rude and hung up on me twice and all i was trying to do just order a few dishes to pick up. She got so mad for no reason hung up. I tried to call again to ask her name and who the manager was and she said “i am the manager, my name is NO”. Omg! what a horrible horrible customer service! why is this place even running. I will be reporting this to Better Business Bureau!!! This is not acceptable!!! I will never ever order form this place again! Insane!!!

This restaurant takes orders over the phone for pickup. It is located on Pomerado and Poway Rd intersection, but at the end of the shopping plaza so easily accessible and still a bit tucked away. Their curries are quite delicious. It is not too big, and a family friendly place.

2022-11-26 06:52:31

Highly recommend this place. The food is great. Good Thai iced tea, big fresh tofu spring rolls with tasty sauces. The chicken satay is very good and great size portion. The pad Thai is pretty good along with the panang curry.

Tried this place for the first time last Saturday.Food was excellent. Had the yellow curry, drunken noodles with chicken, and crab cheese wontons. Everything was very good. Wontons were the most flavorful I think Ive ever had anywhere.Service was great, prices were quite reasonable. Interior is nice, simple, clean.Would have been an easy five stars, but the portions are just a tad small for the cost. This will not at all stop us from going back.Highly recommended.

Overall, a bit lackluster. The chicken tasted a little weird. I’ve had the sandwiches before and they were ok. I think ill give them one more shot with a different item.

Great Thai food. Lots of food options available, good variety that clearly calls out vegan/gluten free dietary accommodations. The service is very helpful in adjusting menu items to the level of spicy preferred.

I had dinner there last week and I was so happy to find such a great Thai restaurant in Poway--I didnt know it was there because its kind of hidden around the corner of the shopping area. I ordered steamed dumplings and red curry and they both were delicious! I will definitely return.

Delicious Thai food with a wide ranging options to order. Very vegetarian friendly with tofu and fake meat options. Highly recommend for a chill weekday meal or even a weekend one if youre looking for a semi-fancy dinner.

Bua Thai is a quaint Thai restaurant tucked into a strip mall in Poway. Dont let the location fool you though, you walk on and the resteraunt is beautiful inside. My daughter and I shared the drunken noodles with beef and the crab fried rice and it was so good! You can order your dishes on a spice range of mild to hot (1 through 10). We got midway at 5 and it had just enough kick but not so much you burnt your taste buds. The drunken noodles were long and thin, perfect to soak up the tasty sauce and it was loaded with fresh carrots and plenty of thinly sliced beef. The crab fried rice, oh that rice. I have never had anything like it before. A large plate piled high with perfectly delicate fried rice and tons of real crab. They have something for everyone from noodle and rice dishes to soups and appetizers and even dessert. Plate prices range but are well worth the cost and each plate has plenty to share. I would suggest getting a few items, bringing some friends and checking Bua Thai out. The staff is wonderful, there were only two employees helping that we saw but they were super friendly, very helpful and on the bal with everything. The food and drinks came out hot and pretty quickly. For sure check them out! Cant wait to go back!

Ideal place for a quiet dinner. Happy hour beers are very reasonably priced and nice portions for the duck entrees. Newcomers to Thai; a six on the spice scale is around jalapenos

I usually like Thai food but the preparation at this place is a bit different. Food was ok ok. Chicken satay probably should be renamed here. It’s way different than other places.

This restaurant is a hidden gem, tucked in the corner of the Big Lots shopping center on Poway Road. The service was excellent, the food was very good and the establishment very clean. I ordered wine with dinner, but it was warm, like really warm. In the future I will skip the wine and go for tea or Thai beer. We had the Tom Kha soup with shrimp, which was very good and savory. I had the Crying Tiger, from the Chefs Menu and the steak was tender and flavorful. Overall, a very good experience.

Stumbled onto this place and Im glad I did! Super friendly staff, clean establishment, and aesthetics is much nicer than a lot of Thai Restaurants Ive been too. Its a little tucked away as theyre in the back of the shopping center but not a big deal. Got the chicken Pad Thai, mango sticky rice, and the black chai tea all of which were delicious. Highly recommend as Ill definitely be back!!

This place is great. It is tasty a d affordable. I always go at lunch time with friends and I order the spicy noodle. The lunch combo comes with a small soup and salad and all for under $10! The soup is very good.I had the Pad Thai and done if the Currys too and u wasnt disappointedStaff Re friendly and service is good

I had lunch here today, and ate the Pra Ram with tofu. It was so good, so nicely prepared and delicious! They even brought me a small salad and cup of soup before my meal. Unexpected, and so good! Also, the service here was so friendly and caring. If youre looking for a good Thai restaurant in Poway, this is it!

Review №53

2022-07-15 23:54:58

The coconut soup (Tom Kha Gai) rocks, and the presentation was great…but the Crying Tiger tiger was tough and not in traditional marinated strips; Its dipping sauce wasn’t the traditional spicy lime (nam chin chaeo) but tasted like bottled hoisin sauce. Really a disappointment:( will try again! Hope to give it five stars

Review №54

2019-06-28 06:07:01

If I have a choice of giving more than 5 stars I would definitely do it. I ordered all vegetarian dishes for 20 people. Panang curry with white rice,green curry,fried rice with vegetables spicy noodles with vegetables, fresh spring rolls and soft tofu. Every single dish was so delicious. All my guests asked the name of the Restaurant. On top of that they delivered right on time and ready to serve. It was really amazing. I would definitely recommend to try all these wonderful preparations there.

My husband and I were running errands around this area and he wanted Thai for lunch so we decided to try this place.Let me just say that I found my new favorite Thai restaurant and will definitely be back.The restaurant is clean (bonus: they dont have the disgusting table cloth kept under a clear glass that never gets changed).Staff was super friendly and sweet, a little on the slower side, but given there is only 2 wait staff, I wouldnt fault them for it.I discovered Tom Yum noodle soup on a recent trip to Portland and have been on a search for this same dish in SD. The dish at Bua Thai was amazing! The portion was very large, I allowed my husband to help me finish. There was plenty of protein (4 large shrimps and some shrimp meatballs), plenty of noodles and veggies; the soup was flavor and spicy enough for my liking (spicy level 8).My husband ordered spicy noodles with chicken, and he stated it was one of the best hes had in SD.We are already making plans to go back soon and I cant wait!

2017-05-20 01:55:28

I visit this place a few times. Never have I been disappointed in the food and service. Friendly staff. Fantastic food (always)! Highly recommend this Thai food restaurant to eat in. Won Ton soup is fantastic. Love the Cashew chicken and Pay Rim are fantastic choices, as is the Crying Tiger. So many thanks for the food and staff. Please consider trying the place for your next visit to a Thai restaurant.

Placed an order online and used Paypal. The site gave me a time for pick up, 40 minutes. When I arrived, the lady told me that they didnt start the order because they dont accept Paypal. Well if you dont accept Paypal then why is it available to use as payment?? She didnt offer any discount or anything because of their issue, just to pay there and they would start the order. I ended up having to cancel the Paypal payment and wasting so much time waiting, then the dumb explanation of their Paypal issue.Do yourself a favor and get Thai food down the same strip mall at Thai Ladle. They were cheaper, had my food ready in 10 minutes and the food was great.

Review №58

2020-10-24 02:35:02

Very flavorful food. The noodles and the rice are overcooked, but the spices were perfectly blended. This was the first time ordering and I would like to try it one more time to see if they regularly overcook the noodles and rice.

Review №59

2017-04-02 15:49:31

INCREDIBLE Thai food at a more than reasonable price. Im fairly picky, and after finding this gem Im so sad I dont live in San Diego! Their Tom Kha was hands down the best Ive ever had, as was the Panang Curry, the Pad Thai, and their Thai tea! We ordered for delivery (a pretty big order Ill add!!) and it was delivered to us in 30 minutes. Amazing! Would absolutely recommend to ANYONE!

Review №60

2020-09-24 03:57:14

If you are looking for authentic Thai at very reasonable prices, look no further than this place. There Penang curry is next level delicious!! Definitely a lot of vegetarian friendly options, if that is what you’re interested in. I am so glad I found a quality neighborhood Thai restaurant!

Review №61

2018-08-14 05:36:07

Great Thai cuisine from the appetizers, to the Thai iced tea and coffee. The service was awesome, as Mickey did a fabulous job. I was surprised because usually in SoCal, waiters and waitresses usually suck. My wife and I are definitely going back! They also accept Samsung Pay. Highly recommend.

Review №62

2017-03-07 01:45:12

The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. My go-to is the spicy noodle, but I only order spicy level 3 because they can get intense...so if your friends are into spicy food and are up for a challenge, I definitely recommend this place!

A small restaurant tucked on the side of the strip mall, theres a large menu with average prices. I placed a to-go order, and unfortunately it took over 20 minutes for it to be ready, it was just bad timing.I ordered the vegetable delight with tofu, which is just a bunch of different vegetables. The sauce is on the salty side, but is also watery....it does coat the vegetables, but just lightly, I was hoping for a thicker sauce. But having a thin sauce doesnt ruin the dish.

Review №65

2014-10-14 14:04:36

Hands down, the very BEST Thai food Ive eaten in America. Wonderful service and peaceful, clean atmosphere. I had such a great experience here. I can hardly wait to go back for my next visit.

Review №66

2014-12-02 03:29:30

I try to avoid this place because once I eat here, I just want to come back for dinner that night and lunch the next day. Of all the Thai restaurants around San Diego, this one is hands down the best. The food tastes like it was homemade and is so mmm mmm delicious :)One of the things that separates itself from other Thai restaurants is the noodle they have. Its a bit thicker than say Spices and has this true Thai sweet taste to it that is very unique.Oh look! Its 5:00 pm they are open now for dinner Im out to grab some food. Bye! Be sure to check this place out (and hours of operation) at least once in your lifetime. Youll come back for more.

Ive been twice now, the first time my food was very good (had the crying tiger) very good, then chicken panang, chicken was old and dry. Bummer. I might give a 3rd chance, hopefully the old dry chicken was a outlier occurrence. Pro tip, dont look at the ceiling...

2021-08-15 08:49:20

The pad see ew was amazing, but the wait for it to arrive was very long, though the restaurant was mostly empty. Definitely worth stopping by and sampling if youre in the area, but perhaps not the place to go if youre in a hurry.

I love this place. I recently found it on uber eats and the food was amazing. Pumpkin curry is one of the better ones I’ve tried and perfectly spicy!

Great food at great prices! The service has always been friendly, and the food authentic. The spice scale errors on the hot side. Suggest you error on the mild side, you can always add more heat.

The food is great. I love the tofu soup and the drunken noodles. But beware, even though its a 1-10 scale for spicyness, things get real serious around level 5.

We really like this place. They tend to add the meat a little late to their curry so it doesnt soak into the meat, but generally its a great little restaurant to eat at.

Small quiet place, great food. I had the drunken noodle with chicken at a 5 spicy which was a little hot for me, but it was delicious either way!

Requested medium (5 out if 10). Love hot food but was being cautious. It was almost inedible due to heat. Be warned.
