  I am such a Pina Colada fan. I loved how BUA Thai Ramen & Robata grill truly makes your experience worthwhile! I felt like I was on vacation for a Sunday brunch. I had their delicious Pina Colada and a few apps and I had such a lovely experience. for appetizer the chicken curry puff and duck salad are hands down the best! For my main I shared a blue crab ramen with my brother Larry. Wow! Can't wait to come back already. The service was impeccable and attentive from the moment we arrived. Thank you BUA fam for your hospitality and generosity. My new summer spot!

  Had an amazing experience at Bua Thai Ramen & Robata Grill. The space is really cozy and aesthetically beautiful. We started with the calamari, chicken curry puff and chicken dumplings, all of which wete delicious and flavorful. For drinks we had Thai mojito, Phuket Long Island and Thai iced tea, which were all very good. The Thai mojito was super refreshing. For mains we had the pad Thai, Thai basil fried rice and Massaman curry, and all were excellent with generous portions. We finished with mango sticky rice and taro custard burlee were the perfect desserts. Overall everything from the food to the atmosphere was a 10/10. Definitely will be back in the future.

  Had an amazing dining experience at Bua Thai Ramen & Robata Grill! The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. We loved the tropical vibe of the restaurant and the creative presentation of the drinks served in fruit shells. We tried the Crab Rangoon and Sriracha Wings for appetizers, and both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. For the main dishes, the Ba Mee Gyo Moo Dang and Blue Crab and the Clay Pot Fried Rice were definitely standout dishes — highly recommended! We also enjoyed their Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee, which paired perfectly with the meal. Another thing we loved is that the restaurant is dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot to dine with your furry friend. 🐶 If you’re looking for a cozy, aesthetic, and delicious Thai-Japanese fusion restaurant in NYC, this place is definitely worth visiting!

  Came here specifically for drinks and appetizers, and it turned out to be a great choice for a relaxed evening. The vibe of the place is really nice—dim lighting, cozy seating, and a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere. It’s perfect if you’re looking to unwind with friends or have a casual night out. Overall ambiance: 4/5. For drinks, I tried the Moscow Mule. It was definitely refreshing and well-made, though slightly on the sweeter side for my taste. Still very enjoyable: 4/5. The appetizers were the highlight of the visit. - The vegetarian spring rolls were excellent—crispy on the outside, flavorful filling, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. Easily a 5/5. - The chicken fried wontons were just as impressive—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Another solid 5/5. Overall, a great spot if you’re in the mood for good small plates and drinks in a nice setting. Would definitely come back to try more from their menu.
