" I always come to Busaba when I'm in town for their fabulous spring rolls and Pad See Ew. The flavors are authentic and they definitely know how to prepare a good Thai meal. Service is also top-notch, always attentive without being overbearing. If you're in Nelson, it's a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Busaba has some of the best Thai food we've ever had! Everything from the appetizers to the main dishes was incredible. The staff were quick and friendly. If you're looking for a Thai restaurant that stands out for its authenticity and service, this is the place. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at Busaba Thai Cafe is generally good, I found my recent visit to be a bit disappointing. I ordered the Pad Thai, which tasted decent but lacked the robust flavors I was hoping for. I also noticed the portions were smaller than what I've experienced at other places. On the positive side, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. I may give it another chance, but I hope for a more flavorful experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to share my experience at Busaba Thai Cafe. It was just okay. While the atmosphere was cozy and the service friendly, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. The Panang curry lacked depth of flavor, and the portion was rather small compared to similar places. I think I'll try somewhere else next time, but I’m glad to have at least checked it out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at Busaba Thai Cafe! The atmosphere was inviting and the service was exceptional. I ordered the Pad See Ew and it was bursting with flavor. You could tell the ingredients were fresh. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I don't usually write reviews, but I had to share how much I enjoyed my meal here. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never had Thai food this good before! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, and the service was just as impressive. We felt well taken care of throughout our meal. The restaurant itself has a nice, warm feel which enhances the dining experience. An excellent spot for anyone who loves Thai cuisine. I will be returning soon for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for some casual Thai food. I've dined here solo and with friends, and every time, the food has been consistently good. I especially enjoyed their Pad Krapow! It's full of flavor and the spice level was perfect. Service was attentive, though it can get busy during lunch hours. Overall, a solid choice for Thai cuisine in Nelson. " (*Curated Review*)
