Bua Thai - Poway

This great little Thai place was recommended by lovely friends of mine (Joyce&Jim) and I love it. House salad comes with fried tofu and the Tom Kha is very tasty and filling but just a heads up?I got spice level 5 on 1-10 scale and thought it might be too high but got a small chili paste in case and with chili paste I still could?ve gone up a notch or two on spice level. Lovely, clean, quaint and courteous, friendly service.

Bua Thai is one of my FAVORITE Thai restaurants in SD!! Their menu is very expansive with many super traditional dishes. Everything is made from scratch including many of their seasonings and sauces. You can taste the authenticity in every dish because the chef takes so much pride in her cooking.

The dishes were delicious and generous enough to share. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The calamari appetizer was especially popular. The service was excellent. I will definitely be returning!

Great place tucked away at the back of a shopping center. Amazing food and great spice level. We had 3 dishes and loved all of them our new favorite Thai food!!! Also don't get too full before dessert or you will miss out on an amazing dish.

This is typical Asian food for westerners, it's not bad but not authentic. Most westerners will give it a good rank, but I bet the real Thai won't. Remember, it won't be authentic once the menu is English only.
