Busara Restaurant - Tysons Corner

Sadly this will be out last visit to this Thai location we have been visiting for over 30 years. There are newer locations with better customer service, better food and better décor (this place needs refurbishing). Celebrating a birthday, the server was curt, had no customer service training, orders were incorrect and appeared gleeful saying there was no desert available at all (and this was 7pm). We ended up going for dessert nearby at Silver Diner. I expect this place to close soon unless it is taken over with new management.

Really bad Thai food. What kind of Kapow Chicken is this? Looks more like Chinese Orange Chicken to me. You’re lucky most Americans don’t know what authentic Thai Food is.

The Penang curry is really good. I've tried it with both beef and shrimp. The Penang salmon is also great, as are several of the appetizers (bikini shrimp, veg spring rolls, and chicken satay). Prices are reasonable for the quality and atmosphere. Staff is always friendly. I'd definitely go back.

Prefer Neisha over this any day. The service was good but the food tasted terrible. The chicken had a weird texture, dry and chewy, the panang curry tasted like peanut and syrup mixed together. Just wish I’d spent at Neisha over this place. Won’t be visiting again.

Unfortunately, this was probably some of the worst Thai food I have ever had. I started with the Tom yum soup which was just broth with 4 pieces of undercooked veggies and 2 pieces of shrimp. Then I had the pad Thai, which was flavorless and just tasted like plain noodles with over cooked tofu. The service was also mediocre at best. I have never written a bad restaurant review in my life, but this meal was so disappointing I felt the need.

Can’t say I would ever recommend this restaurant. A combination of service and food was worthy of only two stars. My daughter and I walked in and were quickly ushered to a dirty table. When we requested to sit at one of the multiple booths the host said she couldn’t because there weren’t available. Dumbfounded by this claim We ordered the Tom Yum soup which was poorly assembled and actually had whole cold cherry tomatoes in it. This was the worst Thai soup I’ve ever had. My daughter ordered the pad se ew which was so bland and the tofu so poorly prepared she stopped eating it. I tasted it and couldn’t believe that they were serving such a dish. I ordered the paatsy wide noodle dish which was better but was prepared so poorly. Each dish had clumpy noodles stuck in a ball in the middle of the dish. And was flavorless. Further the waiter was nowhere to be found and never was concerned about our displeasure, oh well. Wow, how will this restaurant survive In Tyson’s Corner? They won’t, nor should they survive with such poor service and food.

The staff here was very friendly and took my order very quickly. I got my water as soon as I sat down at the bar. I liked that they have plexiglass between patrons at the bar.I ordered the seafood pad Thai. The noodles and sauce I thought were delicious. The scallops and shrimp had an odd taste to them. I thought it was good either way. I will definitely go back as there were a few other things on the menu I still want to try.

Worst Thais food around. This place used to be a gem a few years ago but unfortunately the food and service was horrible the last two recent times I was there.

Good Thai restaurant near Tysons Corner. Dishes are tasty. They have bar area and the plum wine is the best to pair with their tasty dishes. The duck rolls taste really good. Shrimp Pad Thai and Beef Pad Thai are my favorite. Parking isn’t a problem.

Food was not as good as the service, and both were about average. The Pad Thai was not very flavorful and had to ask for spices be brought to my table to give it flavor. Seafood was a little questionable on the freshness as it had a slight odor. Probably not returning. I am new to the area and was trying out restaurants.

My family and I recently visited this restaurant and it was not as expected. 1. Our appetizers and entree's were cold and stale. 2. Our server did not ask for our drinks and we had to specifically ask him to bring drinks for us. 3. We ordered 2 Spicy basil fried rice with 1 chili and received 3 chili's. We asked the server to get us our right food and received the 3 chili rice mixed with white rice and the rice was burnt. 4. Around 8:40 we started getting looks from the rest of the waiters and manager. I would not recommend any party 6+ to dine here. This experience was not as expected and we won't be returning anytime soon.

Wish I could give this place NO STARS. We placed an order at 9:23PM this evening and they accepted and CONFIRMED our order. 9:57PM rolls around and they claim that they are 'closed' and can't fulfill the order. This place closes at 10:00PM.... It's one thing to cancel someone's order within a reasonable amount of time but this is just insane. Now everything else is closed and due to this establishment's inability to communicate within a reasonable time, they've left us with no options.

Best thai I've ever had I recommend the buscara fried rice.

Good food tried the fish which was good and the crab fried rice was the best

First time ordering from this place. We typically order from Neisha and other Thai restaurants in the area. Only order from here if you like your food bland.
