Really good Thai for a reasonable price. So naturally it’s a buzzing place for both lunch and dinner given its central location in Soho.

I had the Jungle Curry, which was nice and spicy. One thing I liked was that in the center of the large tables they have large bottles of soy sauce, hot chilli sauce, and fish sauce ready and waiting. What I felt for with the Jungle Curry tho’ was a bit of sweet chilli sauce, so I asked the server and was quickly brought some sweet ‘n’ sour sauce instead, which was definitely better than nothing and complemented the curry, at least IMO.

Fast friendly service. Good variety of starters and sides. Affordable. Tasty. What’s not to love?

This is a stylish and wonderfully lighted restaurant with large lanterns. The food arrives quickly and is also finished as quickly and it’s delicious. Dishes are quite exotic and authentic. The pad thai is to die for.

For a quick meal in an informal setting I’ll normally take my friends here. The menu is varied, and the food really very good.

From all the Thai places I have eaten at, the restaurant certainly had one of the best Pad Thai’s I had eaten for a very long time! My friend’s Duck curry was also really enjoyable.

I’d agree with some of the other reviewers that it’s a shame you can’t book a table if your group is smaller than 12, but the queue does go down quite quickly.

Super Thai food, sometimes with a few other Asian dishes thrown in. It’s got some long tables and some large square ones, so you’ll probably share space unless you’ve got a big group. There’s almost always a huge queue out the door - what does that tell you?

The menu’s large, the food is quality, and you can get well-fed for not too much money. It’s a good place to take a large group, or meet friends.

Furthers my theory that everything you need is on Wardour Street.

Great Food, great price - why pay more elsewhere when this place is so good?!

This is a great little place for fast, tasty food. It can get a little bit crowded in here and if you don't like sitting with other people, this probably isn't the place for you. They have a massive menu and I have always ate well here. Don't be surprised to see a queue snaking out of the door on friday and saturday nights. This place is super popular!

Busaba is one of my most favourite places to eat in Soho. always busy, you sometimes have to wait for a seat but once seated orders are processed quickly and the food is always very good - I’d recommend the Jungle curry if you like something with a kick or the Swordfish for something lighter.
Seating is quite informal, so expect to share a squared table with others unless your party is large enough to fill the space, in which case you’d be advised to book in advance. I love this kind of seating as you can view others foods and interact quite easily without appearing to be nosey.
The staff are informative though not always helpful; friends have felt rushed at times though i personally have never had cause to complain. If you’re looking for a venue to stay all evening after meal is comlpeted then this may not be for you.
Portions are good but do take a side dish or two to ensure that you don’t get hungry on the way home. Pricewise it is okay; it’s on par with venues like Satsuma nearby though it’s not for those just wanting a quick snack.
Overall a great venue with some brilliant dishes perfect for a relaxed meal during the evening

I just love this place; I went there with work last year for the first time and was blown away by the whole experience.

You all sit around communal tables, which is odd at first but it's cool, apart from a few seats which are by the windowless window overlooking the streets of Soho.

The food, oh my god, was amazing!!! Every time I have eaten there it has been delicious, the staff are very friendly without being annoying or pushy, they are prompt and very professional.

It is all very reasonably priced as when you first go in, I thought I could be paying a lot for a meal here. But I was wrong, you can get a large noodle dish for around £7.50.

Dim lighting and neutral colours make this eatery a real gem, definitely a place to take that special someone on a date as well as with a group of mates.

The only downside, albeit a minor one, is that they don't take bookings, but on the occasions that I have had to queue, even in a long queue, it's only been 10 minutes max.

You can always rely on good service and a great meal at Busaba. A diverse Thai menu which includes curries, stir fries, dim sum and the other usual suspects. The food is always piping hot, well–presented and comes in generous portion sizes. The only downside to this place is that they don’t take bookings, so at peak times you often have to queue outside, though it goes down quickly.
