BUA THAI KITCHEN

Friendly staff and lovely seating interior. Food was delicious with good wok fire. The sizzling seafood plate was flavorful and went well with jasmine rice. The red duck curry was delicious with sticky rice. Coconut pad Thai was very satisfying and great portion. I saw lots of take out orders getting delivered every several minutes at dinner time. Glad to find out about this restaurant as it stays open till 10 pm. Easy parking in its own lot. I will come back to try other dishes.

This place is perfect for solo visits or gatherings with friends. It's incredibly Instagram-worthy, adorned with stunning decorative pieces that set the stage for a delightful dining experience. The food, especially the Thai tea with lychee, was simply delicious, boasting a beautifully sweet flavor that left me thoroughly satisfied. I ordered the pumpkin curry and pad see ew. I wish the to go cup for my Thai tea was see through because I love seeing the magical ombre colors, so that would honestly be my own suggestion. To upgrade to see-through cups for those of us who ordered to go drinks.

The service was exceptional, and the restaurant left a lasting and memorable impression.

We had Mother's day dinner here. We tried the Som Tum salad, the Choo Chee Salmon, Pad Thai and spicy eggplant. All of it was delicious. Nice atmosphere. Great service and a great way to celebrate!

Surprisingly good! Food was spicy, sour, flavorful and not too sweet! Server was friendly and very accommodating for gluten free requests! Ambiance was relaxing.

Delicious meal! And looking forward to visit again or order take out (they were very busy with food delivery pick ups)

Recently newly opened restaurant (according to the owner/staff). Steamed fish was wonderful and the right amount of spice, tasty fried rice and delicious mango sticky rice.

Highly recommend if you are in the area and give this is a try.

Loved the style of this place, a house turned into a restaurant, I love it. There was one person doing everything! And they were killing it! ✨To go, serving, hosting, running food! There are barcodes on the tables so you can order though that, which I like especially when they are busy but you can do it the old fashion way as well 🥰 the food.... Thai food is my comfort food and my goodness 👏👏👏 soooo flipping good! Yellow curry, sweet, a little spicy on point 😋 Definitely try their lychee ice tea and you have to try one of these Thai beers! The gingeriness and refreshing flavor was amazing 💖

Som tum isaan was perfect! Pad see ew full of flavor. I will definitely be back for other dishes. Awesome work, bringing me back to Thailand

This place is very nice and we have been there several times. The food is delicious, although very sweet, the way Thai tends to be. There is a little outdoor seating area a beautiful, flower -filled dining room. The staff is pleasant and helpful.

Hands-down, the best Thai place. I’ve tried a lot of Thai places, this by far has the best food quality, service, presentation, and value!

There’s a huge selection of appetizers, soups, and desserts! Your eyes will grow bigger than your stomachs here, you will want to order everything on the menu, and you will love it all 🤤.

Friendly and attentive service. Artfully presented dishes with subtle and distinct flavors. Fresh ingredients. Large menu selection. Excited to go back and try more dishes.

Best spicy green beans flavor! I haven’t had this dish in a long time then I decided to try at this cool Thai restaurant in Albany called Bua Thai Kitchen! It located on San Pablo Ave near Monroe Street. The flavor is good with fresh ingredients and the best of all I had it with fried tofu. Yummy!

Driving home from a road trip & wanted to eat Thai food. This place had parking & was not too far from the highway. We had tofu green salad rolls, tofu green curry with jasmine rice, Tom yum fried rice without egg, Thai iced tea with coconut milk, & jasmine tea.

Excellent pumpkin curry. Appetizers and fried rice were delicious too. Attentive service. Definitely recommend

Very nice food, tasty and great huge portions! Pad Thai was very nice! The cheese and corn puff were delicious! Beautiful dishes.

Thai restaurants are my favorite places to eat. So I take it from me when I say that this place has earned its spot as the top thai spot that I've had in my 5 years living in the bay. The atmosphere is incredible and the food is delicious. I got the coconut pad thai and even though I'm not a huge coconut fan it was amazing. The only issue I had was the appetizer menu didn't have much that appealed to me, but their main dish selection does make up for it. A great place to bring a group of friends!

Loved everything that we tried here. Food looks and tastes good, with a wide selection on the menu. It was a little short staffed when we visited. Would highly recommend and definitely revisit.

Great place to experience Thai cuisine. Food was delicious and portions were generous. The owners were very friendly and recommended great dishes. Definitely would come back.

Wow, across the board DELICIOUS. My photos of the take-out don't do it justice, but that was the creamiest thom kha gai (coconut lemongrass soup) I can remember, and the papaya salad was super tasty. Also had some pad see ew (which was tender without being greasy) and chicken with eggplant (also a home run). Will be my new go-to for Thai!

Delicious food and attentive staff! I’d come back for sure. Got the crispy rice salad and back rib massaman curry. Loved both of them although the curry didn’t really need the rib enhancement
