“ Not many places in London are able to seat a table of 10 in the fly but here they were able to accommodate. Larger groups should definitely consider this place just solely based on the space alone. As for the food, it was classic Thai dishes you would find at most places. I had their pad Thai, which for the price, was quite good and filling. Overall, a good experience for the size of party we had. Everyone was able to try/find something they wanted and getting seating for a large party in the middle of London is no small feat. ”
“ This was our last meal in London. I found it on yelp and we wanted to try something different. We love Thai food from home, but nothing compares to how amazing this food was! The calamari was different, never had it that way, and now that's the only way I want it. Chicken Pad Thai was perfect!!!! Was we were over the moon about was the Crispy Duck Noodles! YOU HAVE to try the crispy duck noodles! Also, the restaurant is very clean and beautiful, and finding nice restaurants in London with nice bathrooms isn't always easy! ”
“ The chicken pad Thai was very tasty and the noodles weren't mush, an excellent choice along with the calamari as an appetizer. I suggest getting the Dudley Stone Chenin Blanc to pair with the meal. The ambiance was semi dark cozy with great polite service! I will return to order other dishes. ”
“ Dinner tonight and we were seated fast. The seating is large square tables where you party is seated at a corner. Just a note on the service you need to ask For things by flagging down a server. For us they were attentive but was ask for the service we needed when we needed. I Had the hot ginger tea and my partner had a singha Tia beer. We first had a small place item 'Shared platter for two' which had a verity of finger foods. It was good but we wanted a little more food so we split the Crispy Duck Noodles. It was all very good. ”
“ This place was my favorite find during my most recent trip to London. I had eaten here before but forgot to save it to review later, but here we go! First off, service here is great. Very welcoming and make sure you enjoy your visit. The food is tremendous. Comes out quickly, correctly and was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the Chicken Pad Thai and the spring rolls. I absolutely recommend making Busaba a part of your dining experience when you find yourself in SOHO! ”
“ Day Visited: Sunday early PM Price Range: 8-15£ Parking: Street parking, walkable from Chinatown Ordered: Black Pepper Beef, Sweet & Sour Ma Muang, Chicken Satay, Jasmine White Rice, Bangkok Mojito, & Mango Lassi First timers in London & the Asian food has been top notch so far. We visited Busaba on a Sunday afternoon. We liked how it wasn't too crowded and there was a lot of open room throughout the restaurant. Upon arrival, the hosts greeted us and gave us the option of sitting near the window or within the restaurant and we decided to sit near an open window on a rainy, but still busy, afternoon. The food portions are family style, perfect for a shareable two-person date, or even splitting a few dishes with your friends. The food itself- immaculate. The chicken satay to start was the perfect intro; spicy, savory, grilled to perfection and tender as can be. Followed by the black pepper beef with noodles, the beef is well-cooked, the noodles had a great chewy texture to them that paired perfectly with the sauce. A spicy treat! The Sweet and Sour Ma Muang was the star of the entire meal, taking us both by surprise with how tender the coated chicken was, the depth of the sauce it was cooked with, and the tenderness of the sweet potatoes in the dish. A balance of flavor, texture, and technique which made this meal nothing short of phenomenal! ”
“ While waiting for my taxi from the airport, I had a brief chat with a local Londoner before her departure and she recommended me to try the calamari at Busaba during my trip. She informed me that there was no other calamari quite like it. She was right lol; the wait was a bit long for my food to arrive but it was worth it. The calamari was just the perfect texture of crispiness without it being too dry along with a burst of tender meat underneath the flavorful peppercorn lemon breading. No sauce was necessary. I also ordered a plate of chicken satay skewers which were also delicious though a bit on the plain side so I added some sriracha hot sauce to compliment the sweetness. I dined alone and the vibe was very pleasant and comforting though a bit loud. I love the bench styled seating which elevates the atmosphere and adds a memorable touch to the experience. The restroom also had very colorful artwork on the walls while being clean which reminded me of old school Asia. Overall, I had a pleasant time dining in and am looking forward to visiting Busaba when I'm in London again. ”
