Bua Thai Cuisine is an absolute gem! We ordered the Thai spring rolls, apple salad, stuffed mushrooms, chicken phad Thai, and the combination phad see ew — and every single dish was bursting with authentic flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. The attention to detail in the seasoning and presentation really stood out — you can taste the care in every bite.
The service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and quick without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and family-oriented, making it the perfect place for a relaxing dinner or casual get-together.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that nails every aspect — food, service, and atmosphere — but Bua Thai Cuisine truly does. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Thai food in Claremont!

I think it is unfair to judge the restaurant for its authenticity of Thai cuisine. The place is nicely decorated with a good service. However, the dishes are fusion Thai food. The Pad Thai tastes like sweet lemon sauce without a touch of chili spiciness. Good portion but not exciting..

I cannot speak to the food, however, we arrived on a Sunday evening before bringing our daughter back to her dorm. Party of 6 (me, hubby, daughters ages 19, 9, and 7, and toddler). The hostess looked perplexed that we walked in and asked if we had a reservation. Nowhere did it say reservations were required, so we were very confused. The hostess proceeded to look around the restaurant, which had only 4 parties seated inside. He asked if we wanted to sit outside, to which I inquired if it was heated, since it is a cold winter night, here in Socal. He replied no, and didn’t provide any explanation as to why he made it seem like reservations were required.
We were all dressed casually in sweatshirts (again cold), and perhaps because he saw our toddler didn’t want us to eat there? No explanation, no apology, no clue. Whatever the case, this was one of the most demeaning experiences I’ve ever had. And in front of my children! I hope they are held accountable for these business practices, and or publish somewhere that reservations are required. Thank God for Olive Garden saving the night.

This place is nice and the food is good but for some reason the staff is angry. They don’t want to be bothered and walk around with sour faces. If the staff is not welcoming no matter how good the food is you don’t feel welcomed and not return. I will not return due to the staffing. Other Thai places with good food and welcoming. Seek other places that are glad to see you!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Thai restaurant and I must say, it left quite an impression. Walking into the restaurant, I immediately noticed how clean and tidy everything was, which set a positive tone for the meal.
While the service was decent, it was the food that truly stole the show. Every dish was bursting with flavor, showcasing the authenticity and skill of the chefs. From the aromatic curries to the perfectly balanced spring rolls, each bite was a delightful journey for the taste buds.
Overall, my experience here was one to remember. The amazing flavors and inviting atmosphere have left me eager to return and explore more of their menu. If you’re craving delicious and authentic Thai cuisine, look no further. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Very beautifully decorated restaurant! I came in during lunch hour and was delighted to see that they had a lunch special for only $12! You choose from a select group of main dishes, type of rice, and one type of salad and steamed veggies. I had a chicken red curry with white rice. Good, standard curry although the veggies were honestly a bit bitter but the rest was good.

Food is delicious and has lots of flavors. Price is reasonable comparing to other places in the area. Staff is very attentive. However, the rice was outdated so we asked for a bowl of fresh one and paid $2.

Thai food here is solid. The lunch specials are fantastic! I have only been in person which all three times have been good thai food. Noodle and curry dishes were standouts.

Honestly not much to complain. It does the job. The portions are mighty good and the spice levels can go real high if you like. From the Thai places I’ve tried this is one of my favorites. Although the fried chicken wonton apps were quite thin, they were pretty tasty.

I ordered the pad Thai and some of the meat literally tasted rotten and I had to spit it out into a napkin. Rotten in that it had gone bad/rancid. Absolutely one of the most disgusting experiences I’ve ever had with food. It’s been a few hours and I don’t seem to have food poisoning. The restaurant was about 10% full at lunchtime on Saturday. That probably should’ve been a sign of things to come. I have no familiarity with Claremont and completely relied on the good reviews when deciding to dine there.
