Busaba in Nelson

Nice atmosphere, great food. will back again soon

First time I've been in here since new owners. Its lovely inside and the food was excellent - especially on a cold day.

Great experience with delicious foods which I ordered, and the atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable

Great foodAwesome service Price very reasonable

Eat here. Flavours so fresh. Curries a nice mellow spice and deliscious. The local Pilsner on tap was somehow better here than at the brewery

Great! food was good, restaurant was clean, waitress was awesome to

Very good food! Appetizers are really good! Curries are fantastic! Kudos to the Chef and staff! Service really good! It was busy but our waitress was excellent!! Truly Grace under fire as it was very busy and she handled it all so well! I would say her name but didn't get it. Highly recommended! A must visit when in Nelson. We are repeat visitors from out of town and look forward to our visits. Thanks so much for the splendid time!!

10/10 would recommend! It's my go to spot for amazing Thai food and bubble tea. Best place in town!

Good food but not attentive service and there was a hair in one of the dishes.

Excellent food and ambiance! Great decor inside and out on the patio.

Good Pad Thai

Authentic Thai food and with amazing flavours. It has a very quiet and relaxed atmosphere. It much quieter at lunch so that is when I recommend going.

Great little Thai restaurant. The decor seems to get better each visit. The little patio is a treat on a warm day.

Excellent food and excellent service. Always stop by there for lunch when I'm in Nelson.

Great experience. Very friendly and tasty food. Lively and happy dining room. A good choice!

Nice atmosphere, great food. Relatively inexpensive.

Time and time I find myself back here. The food is wonderful and the service is friendly. A favourite spot in Nelson.

Always great service and great food

Ok but it was weak as far as thai food goes. I had a curry and there wasn’t much flavour and no spice at all. Also was filed with veggies that are not usually in thai curry so it wasn’t my favourite.

I have been to Thailand and love the food there! Whenever I crave Thai I go to Busaba. Good food and atmosphere! I recommend it.

Late Friday lunch. Restaurant quite crowded, with a mix of locals and tourists. High quality preparation. Excellent flavors in the curry and visual presentation on the plate, especially the accompanying side salad. You can tell the chef/owners care about providing an authentic dining experience. Food on par with the best Thai places in Vancouver, San Francisco and London. Very clean. Attentive service. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Tasty coconut curries. Good menu selection and vegetarian options. Was really excited to see green mango salad on the menu but it was a bit of a bland letdown. Experienced some wait for food, good atmosphere.

Had a negative experience with bad customer service. Was excited to try it for the first time but after having been treated the way I was, I'm not too keen to give it a second try. Food was ok.

Very tasty and authentic Thai food. Everything was made from obviously fresh ingredients, the service was outstanding, and portions were generous but not overwhelming. Very nice patio in summertime but worth visiting anytime for a wonderful meal!

Food was good, could have used a few modifications. Staff was nice, towards the end staff was really busy.

Laid back atmosphere and very pleasing service. The Thai food is good as we expected. Fair price and the whole experience. I recommend it (as long you aren't into fancy dinning)

Absolutely delicious. I recommend the Pad Thai. Server could have done better but the food made up for it.

Great food at reasonable prices!!

Love their bubble tea, somewhat confusing hours of operation though

Food and service are really good.The food is mild but you can add more chilli's at the table. Has no sticky rice on the menu. Would come back and would recommend.

Very accommodating! Great lunch here.

Awesome food and service time after time.

Yum! Enjoyed lunch here. Excellent service and delicious food.

Inconsistent: we had friends bring us for our first time on a Saturday. Place was bustling and service was good: food was AMAZING! Outstanding! We were so excited to come back. We couldn't wait and arrived on that same Thursday after work and ordered the exact meals. To our disappointment the food was bland and under seasoned. I had to ask the manager serving us if it was a different cook or recipe and she said yes it was a different cook. Apologized and we paid and moved on. We haven't been back since but have heard inconsistencies in their food recipes are common. Would love to make this our regular date night choice !

The best Pad Thai I have ever had, never disappoints. Their curries are also delicious, probably one of the best places to eat in Nelson. The service is always fantastic and friendly.

Average tasting curry. Wings were very odd a pile of mush.

Very spacious - would be ideal for big groups or a birthday party. Food was decent however it came out really really slowly. We were also hungry so that may have been why it felt so slow :). Great for whenever you are craving something Asian!

Food was good, service and speed was not good. Papaya salad and curry was great! Pad Thai was meh, needs way more peanuts and sugar, bit soggy.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere!

Good food, had hair in one of my dishes (yuck!), fairly inattentive service. Decor was fine, background music terrible so not exactly thai experience.

Awesome fresh food and very friendly staff!😊

Only tried the curries but they are fantastic with good size portions. Appy's are also excellent. Good service with a nice ambiance. Definitely check this place out if you are craving Thai food.

Lovely staff. Great patio. Although not quite Thai authentic, the food was very tasty none the less... I will return...

Best Thai restaurant! My family loves this place. Food is very authentic; made from scratch.

Great meal! Good vegetarian options.Excellent service.

I had an excellent curry, best in ages. Worth visiting if you're in Nelson

Server was very polite, and the food was stellar! A bit of a miscommunication on our order but it got all sorted out

Pad Thai was good, portions are big. Curry dishes are flavored well. They also have a few options for adding spice to your dish. The bubble tea (Mango and passion fruit) was not very good made with powder and it was well mixed well or dissolved. I'd pass on that one next time.

ALL OF THE STARS!!! Best seafood stirfry I've ever had! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the service is incredible, the waitress was so sweet! I love this place! She even gave me a coconut milk thai tea because i can't have dairy, it was amazing!!

Delicious meal enjoyed by everyone in our family, great service and atmosphere! would recommend it for any one!
