Food was authentic and tasty. They have a 1-10 spice scale which is helpful if you have spice averse eaters!

Cute modest thai place. Authentic and delicious! Service is good, feels like family. Recommending the Hot Basil of you've never had it!

After living in Poway for years, this is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The food is always high quality and fresh, even takeout. The staff are kind and helpful. Super solid restaurant that almost never disappoints. Our favorites are yellow, red and massamun curries, garlic fried rice, drunken noodle, and the wok entrees are great as well.

This family-owned restaurant is close to our house and has become our go-to for Thai cuisine; fortunately it's also one of the best Thai places I've tried in San Diego. I've ordered at least a dozen menu items and never been disappointed. Everything is prepared expertly, with fresh and good quality ingredients, and more authentic than a lot of Thai places. I don't recall them ever botching an order, and the food is always ready on time. They are always courteous and professional. During the pandemic they were one of the most organized take out places in the area, with a well-conceived system for taking payment and leaving orders without contact. Their food isn't the cheapest you'll find but given the consistent high quality, respectable serving sizes, and reliable service, it's worth coming here rather than spend a couple bucks less at a mediocre place. Highly recommend.

This place is awesome! The food was all super good, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was great! I got tofu pad Thai with a 5/10 spice, and it was the perfect amount of spice and super flavorful. Also highly recommend the mango sticky rice, it was divine.

Excellent food. Ordered 5 dishes for take out. Best Thai in Poway. Chicken cashew was really good. A little bit on the pricey side.

One of these best Thai restaurants in San Diego. The food is spicy so order it mild unless you truly enjoy authentically spicy food. (A medium level is about an 8 out of 10.) my go-to is the drunken noodle. The Thai tea is tasty too. Usually plenty of free parking. The ambiance is tasteful and festive. A great place to take a date.

I had a fantastic experience at Bua Thai! The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Pad See Ew, which was full of rich, authentic flavors.
Their catering service is just as impressive—punctual, well-organized, and offering flavorful dishes that make any event hassle-free. Whether dining in or ordering catering, Bua Thai is a top choice for Thai cuisine.
What a find! The food was spectacular and the presentation beautiful.
