Bua Thai Restaurant

We went here for a quick lunch. Service was fast and the hostess was very pleasent. We had starters and a main starters came out quickly and smelled and tasted great. For the mains we had a massaman curry and a pad Thai. Massaman was very nice. The pad Thai was cooked well but had nothing that would make you remember it 5 minutes after leaving. There was no real layers of spice and flavour.

Absolutely delicious food! Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff! I got a Beef Massamam curry and it was amazingly good! We had starters to share and they were really tender and tasted freshly made. The Golden Balls were particularly lovely!

Little gem where to eat tasty Thai food in St Albans. I had a set menu and I really enjoyed it.

First of all, all the starters were cooked right before being served and all of them were very tasty (which is rare in a set menu).

In addition, there were 4 different dishes coming with this menu (red prawns curry, roasted duck, stir fried noodles with chicken and rice) and all of them were quite good.

I’ll come back again soon.

Amazing food, fairly priced and lovely service. Even gave us a complimentary beer as a congratulations when we told them we were out celebrating with our cousin Jack Moseley after he passed his geography exam! Would recommend.

Really nice meal last night. It's a cozy place and they brought out prawn crackers while we waited for our starters which was a lovely touch. The food was amaaaazing. We both chose spicy meals (medium and spicy) and wow, they were just that! Loved every bite and we will definitely be back! A great place for a date night, a solo meal, or a small gathering if you book ahead.

Been waiting for two hours for delivery via Uber eats. Restaurant blame Uber for no delivery and instruct us to take up with Uber. Uber say they turned up to restaurant and order wasn’t there. Despite complaints and pleading restaurant to fulfil order. No food.

Updated from 1 star to 3
Restaurant did follow up having tried to resolve with Uber. I get impression Uber have let them down on this.

I’ve still got no food. But appreciate restaurant did everything they could to fix

Maybe for someone who has a sweet tooth but definitely not for me, can’t taste any flavour other than sweetness in the Pad Thai, even tho I put soy sauce, double amount of chilli oil and vinegar, still can’t get rid of the sweetness. Had to leave it in the end although I don’t like waste food.

In my opinion the best Thai food in St Albans. Food is good, price reasonable, staff are welcoming and town centre location. No parking outside so you need to find your own parking and walk up the high street passing all the interesting shops. Highly recommend this place.
