“I came in here for the aesthetics and was pleasantly surprised with everything else. The chicken dumplings were very good. The big pomelo and lychee martini drink were spectacular and the entrees were good as well. Along with the tried and true mango sticky rice! 🍚”

“Had an amazing dining experience at Bua Thai Ramen & Robata Grill! The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. We loved the tropical vibe of the restaurant and the creative presentation of the drinks served in fruit shells. We tried the Crab Rangoon and Sriracha Wings for appetizers, and both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. For the main dishes, the Ba Mee Gyo Moo Dang and Blue Crab and the Clay Pot Fried Rice were definitely standout dishes — highly recommended! We also enjoyed their Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee, which paired perfectly with the meal. Another thing we loved is that the restaurant is dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot to dine with your furry friend. 🐶 If you’re looking for a cozy, aesthetic, and delicious Thai-Japanese fusion restaurant in NYC, this place is definitely worth visiting!”

“i honestly saw a dirty (not well washed) fork on my plate but i let it slide! the appetizers were honestly amazing! the drinks were a bit too sweet for my taste but i feel like that’s how they were supposed to be so i am not deducting points for the drinks! visually every dish was a 10/10, however i will mention that the food is not life changing! it is a good place to try out thai food if you’ve never tried it before 🤭 overall experience 8/10”
