It has been a while since we stopped in and the best surprise was that Busaba seems to have improved since our last visit which was good but not stellar. We ordered the lunch combos of Keow Waan with chicken and the Bangkok Panang with chicken. The green curry influence was perfect in the Keow Waan and the Bangkok Panang was phenomenal. I even added a few peppers and it raised the heat to a wonderful level. Also ordered the Thai Iced Tea made from black tea and it added a great taste to the already delicious lunch. A definite come back soon for us.

We had our favorite meal in Nelson at this restaurant. We discovered it on our final evening and it was a fantastic find. The food was outstanding, especially the Green curry which was my favorite. The service was very friendly, and it felt like a family-run establishment. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience.

There is limited parking available on the side of the building. The staff is very friendly. However, the service is not very quick. Some dishes are delicious while others are mediocre. The crab fried rice lacks flavor and appearance.

I absolutely adore this restaurant for so many reasons. One of the main things I appreciate is that it stays true to authentic Thai cuisine and doesn't try to cater to a Western palate like other establishments. The flavors are truly mouthwatering and the dishes are unmistakably Thai.
