The experience at this restaurant was incredible from the moment you step in. The decor is beautiful with flowers surrounding you. The staff is attentive and nice. The food was incredible especially the fried vegetable dumplings. The bathroom was clean. There was enough space and privacy between tables. I highly recommend coming here!

Bua is a fancy Thai spot serving both authentic thai dishes and Japanese fusion food on Upper East Side. 4K+ Google reviews with an average of 4.6 ratings are insane and also well-deserved.Our jaws dropped when a new dish arrived to the table. The food pleased all our senses with fancy presentation and rich flavor profile.＊Super Crispy Rice??Each piece was topped with a good amount of lobster salad and raw tuna. It was very well seasoned with the spicy sauce and sweet soy sauce. The minced tuna was spicy but not overpowering. The thickness of the crisp was just right to give a nice crunch.＊Chicken Curry PuffCurry puff is my staple at any thai spots. Stuffed with curry chicken and sweet potato, the deep-fried puff pastry wasn’t greasy at all, and the cucumber dipping sauce added a refreshing note.＊Clay Pot Fried Rice???We got the chef recommended clay pot rice and this was fabulous. I was blown away by the hearty portion of proteins as they literally filled up half of the pot with blue crab chunks, Chinese lap cheong and pork belly! The boiled egg was perfectly jammy. I was addicted to the garlic butter fried rice. I’ll really go back and order this clay pot rice again.＊Thai Basil Ramen w. Crispy DuckOne of the best cooked crispy duck I’ve had. The meat was still tender coated by a deliciously golden skin. The thai ramen was spicy while also on the sweeter side. I liked the peppercorn, cherry tomatoes and bell pepper tossed in the noodles.＊Pina Colada, Chiangmai LycheetiniTheir cocktails/mocktails were very decorative with flowers and fresh fruits. I asked for less sugar for the mocktails. Pina Colada was like a pineapple coconut slushy. Not too sweet and very tropical.＊Taro Custard Brûlée?I wished the portion was bigger because it was too delicious. It tasted like taro pudding with creme brûlée top. Still dreaming about it rn.

I had a great time at Bua Thai Ramen! First, the place is so beautiful that you can't leave without taking a selfie. Secondly, the food was super delicious and this is the best Thai food I've had in New York. Last but very special, I want to thank the receptionists/waiters who were very helpful suggesting the best appetizers, main course, desserts and cocktails for me and my partner. We had a complete Thai dining experience and I highly recommend it to you. :)
