    Craving Asian food when you’re in London? This restaurant is one of the best I think. Thai food is always nice and so is here. Foods & beverages are great, staffs are nice and the restaurant is so cozy. We come here 7 peoples so we order various famous Thai Food to share such as Tom Yum Goong, Som Tum, Pad Thai, Fried Rice etc. And last but not the least is Thai Ice Tea. So Try it when you’re in London

    We made the mistake of coming here during the rush of people going to the theater. I don't think anyone even asked for our drink order for a good 30 minutes. The food took over an hour to finally reach our table but it was good. The spicy edamame was really good. The green chicken curry was hot and flavorful. The tables are arranged so that you sit with others but they never sat anyone else with us so we didn't get to experience this part. The manager did give us each a free drink to make up for the wait and we appreciated that but this was the longest I have ever waited for service. #LocalGuides

    Visited here on a Sunday evening, was fairly busy. Great, comfy interior in a spacious setting. Staff were friendly however they were a bit slow taking orders and collecting our bill. The portion sizes were a bit small, and because of that I’m giving 3 stars. I would return however not for a big meal, just something light.

    The food is delicious, fast, beautifully-prepared and fresh with perfect portion-sizes and a spot on balance of zingy flavours. The price is pretty reasonable for London (check out my menu pics for a sample) and the service is okay. We felt the first waiter was a little odd with us somehow and the toilets were a bit manky. Oh and they were out of prawns. So shellfish. But the food...the food was five stars all the way. Compliments to the kitchen crew.

    Busaba Leister square is one of ten Thai restaurant chain. It is not your average Thai place. The interiors are dark and modern, combining teak wood , incense and dimly lit lanterns. It has large shared tables. They don’t Take reservations and overall is a great place for dinner with friends. The food is always good, but I have to say it used to be even better. You always find a good number of vegetarian dishes and everything is well presented and inviting. Everyone working there is always very nice and helpful, the service is quick and you often have a nice chat with the people you sharing the table with. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

    Picked 2 menu sets with snack, small plate and meal for £19.99. For the snacks we had the chips/seaweed, and the small plates were the chicken satay skewers and the bang-kick prawns. For our meals we had Tamarind duck breast char-grill and the Thai seafood pasta. The duck was the chewiest meat I've had in my entire life. Don't ever say that's the way duck is. Go to a Chinese restaurant and try duck. When done right it does not require excessive chewing. The flavor was good. The cooking and preparation of the duck was not. 0/5 The pasta was spicy, but it featured the tiniest mussels I've ever seen in my entire life. The shrimp was small as well. Here's some advice, quality over quantity. Dropped the mussels and put in bigger shrimp or the other way around. There's no point in having more with less quality. The flavor of the pasta was a bit lacking. It had a kick to it. It was ordered with the yam fries. That's impossible to screw up, ... just kidding. The dip was a Siracha Mayo mix and it was way too much Siracha and not enough Mayo. It lacked creaminess. There's a Siracha bottle on every table. If I wanted more Siracha I could add it. I didn't need it to be 90% Siracha and 10% Mayo. 3/5 The snacks were OK. Like literally OK. 3/5 The small plates were not terrible. Shrimp were tiny but that's ok for an appetizer dish that was more based on flavor. Flavor wasn't excellent. Chicken satay skewers would be dry had it not been the sauce. 2/5 We had 2 mango Lassi, too much yogurt, not enough mango, and needed more ice. Overall, well you can guess. When it comes to proportion, maybe it's a preference but... 2.5/5 The service, when it shows up, they're decent. But we found we were forgotten. They already tack on service charge. So adding any more is all up to you. I believe if they know you exist that they should be rewarded, IF they did.

    Amazing food and worth the price. Prawn crackers are a must (and the duck). Staff are helpful and friendly although the waiter dropped our first round of drinks - resolved with the duty manager with discounted bill. Would definitely go again for quality good food

    SUMMARY Great Thai food at a reasonable price. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Please do order the satay chicken skewer dish as your starter - it will surprise your taste buds! SERVICE I would like to mention the service first as this is actually what really makes this branch shine. For example, the waiters are not pushy, so they leave you be and gives you the time you need. Another example is I asked for a plug/outlet and the staff immediately suggested that I should move to a location where there was an available plug - helpful especially if you are going for their lunch deal and you need to top up one of your devices. STARTER The satay chicken skewers (£3 lunch deal only) with peanut sauce was so good. The only 'complaint' I have is that there wasn't enough of that delicious peanut sauce. MAIN I ordered the Kwai Teow which is fried noodles with prawns and chicken (£10 lunch price deal) . This dish was a bit too oily so I'd recommend going for one of their curries instead. Note: I wish it would be possible to set a spiciness level, similar to some places in Japan as especially a dish like this could have been more impactful with more chilli. DRINK I ordered the Mojito (~£9). This was a very well done drink as the alcohol taste was very subtle and the ingredients really complimented each other. I'd buy this again.

    I was craving for Asian food since I’ve been away (from Asia) for more than a week. Found this Thai restaurant only 5 minutes walk from my hotel. Warm and friendly welcome as I entered the restaurant. Big restaurant with cozy atmosphere. The food quality undoubtedly good. Very recommended to order their tasty prawn cracker while you’re waiting for main course.

    Being a big fiend of Thai food, I am totally in love with this place. I strongly recommend the charcoal grilled-chicken here which is to die for. The price seems pretty reasonable and the service is really friendly. I always take the window seat with great view as well.
