Sanna Westermark

Good, fast service . The Calamari was great in taste but had been sitting for a while. Green curry was all good but could use a bit more body and spice. Would go back!

João Gabriel Guerreiro

The ribeye with tamarin sauce is absolutely delicious, if you are in doubt, spend a word with the owner, he'll suggest something and reprimand any foolish combination :P

King-Ming Lam

Pad thai was very good. Calamari was great the first time-- crunchy on the outside & chewy on the inside, but on the second visit some pieces were mushy. Green curry fried rice was ok.

Claire Minter

Been to several now in London, Calamari for starters and Pad Thai , highly recommend! Nice cocktails too!

Claudio

fried lemongrass chicken , grapefruit mojito , morning glory and coconut rice ! very delicious. best asian food i had since my trip to vietnam.

Hannah GM

The fried squid was excellent, as was the special pad Thai with crabmeat . Drinks were reasonable and not too tough to get a weeknight table!

Yiota Pap

Good food and nice atmosphere. Can be very busy during lunch time so book a table or get there early.

Lizz Jiang

Not your average comfort food , authentic Thai...and overpriced for the portion sizes. Still, does a good job at making Thai food fancy and modern.

Julie King

Very tasty food, plenty of chilli , lovely flavours. Order a main, side & rice or roti if you are really hungry ????

Artur Rodrigues

It is a chain, but service is fast and food is reasonable for the price. Keep in mind that you'll share the table with others.

Olivia Jongeling

Delicious. Honestly, busaba never fails to deliver . Pad Thai is consistently beyond delicious, calamari also. Love it!

Cenker Köse

You can't resist to eat black pepper beef even you are full! And thai calamari is delicious.

Nicole J

Calamari like you’ve never tasted before. Green Thai curry is to die for and perfectly spicy

Yasmin

Food is really nice and fresh, the staff are friendly too.

Francisca Nunes de Almeida

Great Thai food for a very affordable price ! Try those amazing Thai Calamari !

Ha-Neul Seo

This was my favorite Thai place in London, but coming back after a year I was appalled by the portions! Pad king talay had about four pieces of seafood in it :(

Reb

green pepper calamari , duck on wilted leaves, chilli prawn/rose apple stir fries , peanut prawn and betel leaf is a fun one to share. The salads are amazing. Nicer more chilled atmosphere Soho one

Austin Lymer

Lost for words. If you don't try or at least share the Thai calamari then you should go and see the funny doctor . Sensational!

Cizenbayan Elif Tanverdi

i love the pad thai , calamari and satay chicken ! Yummy!

Javier Blázquez

Nice place, nice service, nice athmosphere... So, don't think more, go there to enjoy your food! Enjoy!

Murksau

Delicious but keep an eye on the bill, there were two times of same "mistake" when they included extra food by our table in an hour.. Shame, but i guess they're tired as it's really busy.

Sof C

Book the private room downstairs for a delicious banquet style meal, amazing menu for only £24 pp.

Monika Grigorova

Good thai food with reasonable prices.

Ollia Reichart

The order of tea comes with a sweet almond cookie , so do get it even as dessert .

M. Scott

Good food. Slow service. Spicy pad Thai is really good.

Cagdas Yilmaz

Loved the food and the service as well ...

Yasmin

Get the Guava Juice ????

Christian BS

The venison is amazing. Dark, smokey, and rich.

Kat Ro

If you’re picky with thai food skip this place. My Pad Thai was oily as hell. The only plus is for nice staff but sometimes they’re so busy don’t know what they’re doing.

ThelishaC x

Tasty! Thai food here is great and do remind me of my home

Murat Evin

Lovely asian infusion food and the best decoration busaba branch...

c0uP

The grapefruit mojito with muddled lime and vanilla is refreshingly delicious

Simon To

20% discount for students! Only those who know get it!

Emmanuel X

Very disappointed in the noticeable reduction in portions. Quality still good but the beef dish I ordered had 4 strips of meat in it. Literally. Thai calamari bowl is suspiciously shallower too.

Yiftah Niv

All round greatness.

Mark Ashworth

Try the squid . It is cooked well .

Colin Maxwell

The Garlic &Pepper Ostrich dish is excellent. Give it a try you won't be disappointed

Daniel Winston

Expect to wait if you come in a large group! Food is good though. Massaman , beef curry and pandanus chicken are all good!

Olly Hegel

Go for the duck in tamarind sauce and organic lemonade . Have had same meal 150 times. No shit. Best duck in london

Carlos Guillén

Green curry is very good!

Eleni Miliou

Black pepper beef with coconut rice was delish!

Mark McLaughlin

Order the green curry fried rice , and everyone at your table will ask "Oh, what was that?" and make sure they order it themselves the next time.

Nnenna Ngwu

The pad thai is so good! Gonna try that calamari next!

Mumu

Pad Thai is nothing to blame.

Jason Fox Rouse

I love the Chilli sauce .
