Gozde AcarJanuary 29, 2017The most delicious Thai Food I've tried so far. Green curry grilled chicken and baby calamari are awesome.
Maggie WalshNovember 8, 2015This place was good, but it wasn't authentic. So, just don't be expecting authentic. The tom yum was delicious but so spicy. So I had a mango lassi to cool myself down. ( lassi at a Thai place?)
Gül M.August 18, 2013No word could define how delicious Thai calamari is! If I lived in London, I would usually have my meals in this orgasmic restaurant. Everything is perfect. ;)
Kelly HeungAugust 6, 2016My all-time favourite must be chargrilled chicken curry fried rice! Set menu is also a good choice!
Of all the Busabas in London I believe this one's kitchen is the best. Can get very busy at weekends, pre-book for dinners! (Get the window table to observe the stream of Soho crowds.)
kat.mckorkMarch 6, 2015If you have to stand in line, it's moving fast and worth the wait. Lively, reasonably priced. Amazing creamy curries and tasty fish stir fries . Take the calamari for starter
Maria Cristina MaderaFebruary 13, 2023The whole menu is really interesting, the food is super, I recommend Pad Thai Jay and ginger beef with coconut rice 🍚😋
Hakkasan venture with good price-quality. Thai calamari, coconut prawns, coconut rice and noodles are very good.Difficult to make a conversation since all the Busabas tend to be very noisy though.
Kevin DulinJune 16, 2018The crispy duck noodles were very mediocre and the duck dry. The Chicken Satay was good. The green curry was pretty bad.
Boaz SachsSeptember 25, 2015Superb Thai eatery with numerous speciality dishes and imported beers. Try the pad Thai and the calamari and make sure you get an ice tea too
New York HabitatMay 15, 2012Trendy Thai place with delicious Asian food! The interior is very stylish and perfect for groups with its large tables. Do note that you’re often seated at the same table as other guests!
Fancy Thai for lunch? Go no further than Busaba Eathai. The green chicken curry is a personal fave, throw in some coconut rice and, of course, the peppered squid as a side and you're in for a TREAT :D
Mary LOctober 18, 2014Yes, as others have mentioned, it's not authentic Thai food. But is it delicious food? Yes. Yes, it is. The various fried rice on the menu are usually a good bet.
Bartek WitekFebruary 1, 2020Had a really great time. Amazing atmosphere inside, friendly and professional staff. Green curry with chicken was amazing. Highly recommend!
DanSeptember 21, 2019Everything we had was delicious and well-seasoned with aromatic herbs & spices. Try the cocktails during happy hour - especially the Naga Fireball!
Janet CheungAugust 29, 2014Around 40-50 pounds for two! Decent food. Go earlier to avoid crowd and waiting! The calamari was quite unique and interesting!
Eva CiFebruary 12, 2017If you wanna taste something totally different, this is the place to go. I preferred the soup. Be careful, most of dishes are extra 🌶 🌶🌶
Manuela MassaroNovember 23, 2013One of the best Thai in town, gets mad busy at night though.. Make sure u get there early (quiet until at least 4pm) as there is no booking policy!
Noha AlRajhiAugust 29, 2015Great atmosphere,good value.Thai calamari for starter & chilli prawn fried rice are amazing.
Jah RahmanApril 3, 2014Pleasant place to eat. Mains aren't anything to go crazy over although the side of calamari is to die for. Just get 2 of those and be happy!!
Sabrina BMarch 15, 2011One of my favourite dishes is the asparagus fried rice, its amazing value for such a huge dish. The combination of apple and asparagus is delightful.
irmakpOctober 27, 2014Try Thai calamari, pad thai, smoked chicken, pandan chicken and guava collins. You will not regret.
Naser Al AnaziOctober 16, 2021Calamari starter is a must; green chicken curry is very tasty, King prawns pad Thai is one of the best in London
Gilad GraySeptember 6, 2014General yumminess. They can make any of the noodle dishes gluten free, and most of the other things are naturally gluten free!
Arix BiOctober 5, 2016Very very good Thai place with a large selection of courses. service so nice and quickly. A little bit expensive
Sex Drugs and Bacon Rolls Food BlogMay 5, 2013"This restaurant is typically Thai – simple and stylish. The menu offers a great choice of dishes that were surprisingly authentic rather than the usual ‘European’ alternatives that are bland." Read more
Laura GalyerOctober 16, 2012The value for money at this place is fantastic! I have enjoyed he crab rice and duck in tamarind sauce a few times now. The meat was really good quality.
Trendsplant Clothing Co.September 3, 2013Great curries, specially the chicken green curry. Chicken Satay is a must too. Average price 15-20£. We love this place!
George YanakievJanuary 7, 2013I tried 10 different meals and they were all super delicious! A must-visit place in Soho.
Yalin SolmazDecember 8, 2013The breaded shrimp has taken top small plate spot for me ever since they changed their calamari supplier. The sauce is delicious!
Dalal AlsharifJanuary 14, 2018You must try the calamari very different but great! Tom yum soup was ok, I had better! The duck curry was perfect!
Holly PriestlandAugust 29, 2013Great atmosphere and fantastic food, even for vegetarians. Don't be put off if there are queues outside, they move extremely fast!
Ego GourmetJuly 27, 2017Busaba do a common British deceptive business practice to customers writing on menus that an extra item is “included” or “comes with” a dish. But are added on to the bill. - The Phantom Gourmet Ego
GabrielaJune 10, 2015Curry! Coconut rice! Everything. Is best to go in big groups so you cant have a taste of everything.
Bengu DogruerOctober 20, 2013Reasonable price, excellent service and great thai food. A must go restaurant in soho, london ... Try out the calamari .
Gerry GreylingDecember 29, 2012Thai Calamari starter, Chicken (Lemongrass & sweet chilli sauce) + brown rice: no need for anything else....well, with a beer if course!
Neil ChainaniJuly 24, 2014The communal tables was uncomfortable to start but once we got used to it, everything tasted terrific. The calamari was to die for.
Mustafa SenApril 16, 2017I had the pad Thai, it was well cooked and tasty, but the portion could be a little bigger. Service was slow I had to literally wave to get my food ordered.
Ekaterina OvechkinaJune 7, 2014Grilled duck with coconut rice is a definite choice here. And do not forget to order Mango Lassi:)
Fantastic pan-Asian restaurant. Try the Pandan chicken, the coconut rice, and grab a cherry coke.
Melis BaşaranerOctober 5, 2014Order anything, i assure it's all good, but there is a smoothie with pineapple it was spectacular!
Florent JolyJanuary 27, 2015What's best here is really the tables (so large you're always sitting with strangers).The food is good too.
Rob StarrJanuary 3, 2012dissappointing tofu dish, getting worse and drier over the, years. it was perfect hard tofu in the beginning with plenty of sauce. now it's japanese egg, tofu with no sauce and grease is all there is.- If you download the mobile app (which you use to pay your bill) you'll get £5 off the first time you use it. It's really easy to set up!
- Chris RoebuckMarch 25, 2011If u like hot stuff get the jungle curry. Also the calamari is awesome and the tamarind duck is pretty special too. Oh n the satay sauce is v fragrant lol
Aurora YoungOctober 19, 2014don't come here if you are not used to sit at a communal table, their tomyum soup was not very authentic, but crab fried rice was ok and def try their green curry chicken, the meat is very tender
