Busaba is a really solid Thai option on Pearl Street and definitely worth a stop if you’re in Boulder.
The food is the highlight. The drunken noodles and pad see ewe are both excellent, and the curries are flavorful with generous portions. The Tom Kha is also especially good—creamy, rich, and very comforting.

Busaba Thai is a popular Thai restaurant known for its authentic dishes. While some reviews suggest inconsistencies, the restaurant still receives praise for its Crab Rangoons. The chicken pad see ewe is highly recommended, though the "basil" fried rice and pad Thai have been described as lacking in authentic Thai flavors. The restaurant is temporarily closed due to a gas leak, and customers suggest updating the hours and website accordingly.
The restaurant is appreciated for its clean and welcoming atmosphere, and the service is generally great. Customers have enjoyed the Hooky noodles with chicken, a warmly flavorful yellow curry with delicious wide noodles and fresh vegetables, as well as the Panang curry with chicken. The restaurant offers several spice levels to cater to different preferences, and staff will adjust the spice level to what guests want. Visitors have mentioned that the Thai food at Busaba Thai is very similar to their favorite Thai place back home, and they plan to return during their next visit.
Recent reviews praise the delicious takeout options, including the Shrimp Asparagus delight, Pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice. The drunken noodles, pad see ewe, and Tom Kha are also highly praised for being creamy, rich, and comforting. A new dish called Rama has become a favorite. Appetizers come out quickly and stay crisp. Some customers note that service can be inconsistent when the restaurant is busy, while others describe the staff as very positive and friendly. Overall, Busaba Thai is considered one of the better Thai restaurants in the area, with a great atmosphere, generous portions, and reasonable prices.
