Bua Thai Ramen & Robata Grill

1611 2nd Ave New York, NY 10028

As I am writing this review, I am already planning my next trip to Bua because it was such an amazing experience!

Thai cuisine is truly one of the best in the world and Bua truly lives up to that fact. The menu has so many wonderful options and the ambiance is comforting and inviting. When I visited, I started off with the Lychee Mojito and an appetizer of Vegetable Spring Rolls. Typically when I order Mojitos, they taste like mint water but Bua's Mojito was delicious and packed with lychee & mint flavor! I highly recommend any of their drinks with lychee because it's such a delicious addition to most liquors. The vegetable spring rolls were also perfectly crispy and had a flavorful filling!

For my meal, I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (Broad noodle, onion, basil, medley tomato, bell pepper, young peppercorns and wild ginger) with Tofu. It was AMAZING. I've had a lot of Pad Kee Mao, but Bua's version hits every note. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and held onto their flavor, the noodles had a wonderful texture and the spice was perfect. Please try their Pad Kee Mao!!

My boyfriend accompanied me on this trip and he ended up ordering the Khao Moo Dang (Organic roasted BBQ pork, crispy pork belly, sweet

sausage, hard boiled egg and cilantro with brown sauce). He is pretty picky with his food, but he highly approved of his meal and told me that he would like to come back!

All in all, Bua is an excellent option if you're looking for consistently delicious Thai food and a very chill atmosphere. They have amazing drinks and vegetarian options. If you're considering stopping by, this is your sign to go!
