Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bua Thai Ramen & Robata Grill offers a vibrant dining experience with "great food" and "lovely restaurant decor." While the atmosphere is lively and the selection diverse, some guests felt rushed during service. The drinks and mocktails are "impressive" though, making it a spot worth visiting for its festive ambiance.

    It was a birthday dinner. The manager who greeted at the door also served us. She told me right away that I am not to be sitted before the rest of the guests arrive. After talking a bit, I was allowed to wait at the bar. Even when it was our reservation time, and everyone arrived, they made us wait at the door. It was was a little bit as if I am in her kitchen and begging for kindness. The food was “ok” for the price. The mocktails looked impressive and are worth the spiked prices. I would return if the service is better. I definitely won’t return. Prefer Up Thai that is consistently nice and is located nearby. Thank you for your time reading through this.

    The service was nice. Great customer service. The only thing about the restaurant is that it’s a tight squeeze but worth it.. The food was delicious

    Felt rushed and disregarded on more than one occasion. Was brought the appetizers along with entrees, no room on the table was left or for us to finish our meal. Although attentive to my allergies, waitress was dismissive and brought the bill after entrees. Didn’t allow us to get a drink to go with the food we couldn’t finish.

    This place is not worth it. It’s a scene but the food was sub par - they gave us 8 shishito peppers on skewers (so weird) for like 10 dollars - they normally come in a bowl. The chicken in the meals can in huge pieces not cut. Just very strange.

    Loved this spot so much- the food was awesome, the decor so festive and the drinks over the top! We ordered a couple skewers, some ramen, fried tofu and spicy tuna with crispy rice.
