Bua Thai Restaurant

This restaurant has been at the corner of Avenue and Davenport for a number of years. I have ordered delivery from them a few times and was never disappointed. I went to the location for lunch once a couple years ago and although the food was very good the restaurant was indeed in need of updating. I went there again tonight and to my surprise it in fact has been updated, has a very busy delivery and pick up business and the food is extremely good. I had the shrimp spring rolls and there must have been five or six good size shrimp stuffed in the roll. Another chef specialty dish had freshly cooked crispy noodles on top of soft noodles. Great crunch factor. And like other reviewer’s I did try the peanut, coconut curry and it was delicious with the right amount of spice. The prices are extremely good and I think this restaurant definitely deserves more attention from those who love good Thai food.

Really yummy food. We ordered delivery and really enjoyed everything. We got spring rolls, mango chicken, and beef coconut curry. (As another reviewer mentioned there were no veggies in the curry so just ask for them if you want them.) I’m not sure what the exact name of those meals are– I called in a hurry on moving day and had them help pick for me what to order because I had no time to look it up online. They were nice enough to choose for me and the person on the phone was patient with me when my phone kept hanging up on him.
Delivery arrived quickly and everything was hot and yummy. I had the beef the next night heated up in the microwave and it was even really good the second night. Definitely would order again although for now am exploring the other options in this area, which is new for me. We may also consider eating in sometime.

Recommended. Curry is great here. Pad Thai isn’t particularly special, but decent.
I’m pretty sure this place changed it’s name to Be Thai. No sign outside at all, so you need to know where you’re going.
Rarely busy, but take out is really quick — 15 minutes max.

This is my absolute favourite Thai restaurant in the GTA. I have eaten here at least 10x, and have yet to have a questionable experience. The service is warm and friendly, the prices are reasonable (kind of cheap, actually) and the food is incredible.
My favourite dish is the peanut chicken curry, which is a bit like red curry, but even better. It’s one of the Friday specials, but the cool thing about this place is that for an extra dollar or two, you have have the specials on the days when they aren’t specials (if that makes sense). Always be sure to specify that you want veg in your curry b/​c sometimes it comes with just meat (weird, but whatever).

The sign outside the restaurant is ugly, but it’s actually really nice inside!
The food was great. We had the veggie platter as an appetizer and then the peanut curry and veggie pad Thai. Everything was delicious and the presentation was nice.
We will definitely come back again!

This place is quick and delicious. I had the Pad Thai with shrimp (though light on the shrimp) and peanut curry with chicken with some appetizers. Spring rolls are good and crunchy and the hot and sour soup was delicious. All in all great experience for take out. Though parking is a bit of an issue.

Go to place for delivery, it’s a two black away from our house. Consistently good Thai food, never disappoints.

This has been my go-​to place for Thai delivery for awhile now. It never disappoints. I’ve never had delivery issues (like some of the other reviews I’ve seen here), and the food always tastes amazing. Great value too, with very reasonable prices for a generous amount of food. I have a weak spot for their spring rolls too. Amazing!

They welcomed me by telling me the kitchen was closing and its last call. We had 35 minutes. Not welcoming, we are going in to enjoy food and socialize. All they care about is $$$. Customer leaves when they wish…

Cannot say how this food tastes. We waited 2 hours for our delivery and it never showed up. Called several times to a very rude employee. Won’t go back.

delicious pad thai! flavourful… came with a group of 4, the duck curry was phenomenal and green curry was okay. service was good, price was great. great value, portions were not too large or too small. definitely wood return!

Great stuff!
I had the pad thai, spring rolls and mango and coconut dessert. My boyfriend had the duck curry. It was delicious!
I have pad thai at every thai restaurant I go to and this was by far the best! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavour was great.
The spring rolls were good, a little greasy– but hey, aren’t most fried foods?
The curry was spicy but the flavour was awesome. You got the taste of the coconut milk and a nice kick at the end. The lychee was also a very interesting but complimentary flavour!
All in all, ready to go there again and again and bring everyone else with me!

I’ve only ever had Thai food once or twice before and had low expectations. However, the spring rolls, pad Thai and pineapple fried rice were all delicious. I would consider eating here on my next visit to Toronto.

Don’t get here often, first time was great! Ordered glass noodle salads, soups, another glass noodle dish to go since I was having people over. Staff even separated the shrimps due to an allergy. Next visit, repeat the glass noodle salads, YUK!!! It was wrong, clumpy, too hot heat wise. Called to discuss the experience, person didn ‘t care much. Asked over the phone for a manger, no straight answer, or not avaiable. Regret refering people. Party trays, only the manager can quote, not around so never ordered. Service matters, i wanted 0 stars. Lots of good options elsewhere…

Décor very simple with classic Thai furnishings but certainly an inviting and warm charm to it. Professional Service.
Most of the usual standbys on the menu with A couple of interesting additions like curry with young coconut leaves
Several of the dishes sweeter then I would prefer but I’m sure many people would enjoy
Definitely worth the money spent and we will be returning
Dinner for two under $ 60

One of the Best Thai food in TO…
So glad my office is nearby and I get to enjoy their lunch specials… Always look forward to their Friday special — Peanut Curry Chicken… MMmmmmMM.
For $ 10 (that includes taxes and tip)
Peanut Curry Chicken — can’t get enough of this stuff!
Thai Hot and Sour Soup — BEST HOT & SOUR SOUP… EVER!
I would go here just for the soup.
Spring Rolls — just the right side to fill you up.
Everything is served piping hot and O so Good!
Service is fast and friendly — never had to ask once for a water refill.

Whoa! Bua Thai, where have you been all my life? Thai food lovers, this is the place for moderately priced, authentic Thai food in Toronto. Had the Duck Curry (Kang Pad Ped), Pad Thai and Papaya Salad (Som Tam). All of them were full of flavour, completely devoid of ketchup, and very reasonably priced. Plus ½ litre of the house red (which was not terrible) for $ 12! Sold!
So long Bangkok Garden and Mengrai Thai, it was nice knowing you! If you’re going to those places, you’re really just paying for the pretentious ambiance; this place is all about delicious food.

This is an excellent place to get some good Thai food in the west end of the city. Food was great and service was polite and prompt. Went in for a sit down meal but noticed that a large number of people walking in for take out and the delivery people for the restaurant would walk out with giant bags of food. After seeing this and looking around at the premises a little closer I can see why. The place is fairly small and the décor is tacky. During the winter time it can get uncomfortable with the door opening constantly with the take out and deliver people and poor partitioning within the restaurant does little to remedy this. Next time, I think I’m going with take out!

Excellent for Take-​out or Delivery.
The food is authentic. The ingredients are incredibly fresh — a necessity in Thai cuisine.
The pad thai is perfect, the green and red curries are consistent and delicious.
Eating in, however, avoid it! The décor is dated and tacky, not a pleasant environment to dine, although the servers are all pleasant.

Among the plethora of Thai eateries in this city sits Bua Thai, a quiet little spot just at the cusp of Yorkville.
The atmosphere is typical Thai, some silk here, some vases there, a couple of Buddhas thrown into the mix and the servers are ingratiating and kind. Unlike most Thai restaurants that I’ve tried in this city, the dishes are distinct from one another and are quite fresh.
The eggplant is to die for and the broccoli with Tofu is my favorite dish.
The restaurant offers affordable take-​out, and delivery and is even more pleasant to sit inside.
