" Delicious food and great drinks! I had the pineapple fried rice, which was really tasty! The portion size was enough to share, and we loved the presentation. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend trying one of their specialty cocktails - they pair well with the Thai dishes. I will come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful! The ambiance of Busaba is inviting, and the food simply amazing. I tried the Pad Thai and the flavors were authentic! The staff were super friendly and attentive. My only wish was that there were more vegetarian options on the menu. Otherwise, it was a great experience overall. Will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Busaba was nice. I tried the crab fried rice, and while it was good, it didn’t have the explosive flavors I associate with Thai food. I found the atmosphere quite pleasant, and the service was polite. Portion sizes were adequate. I think I’ll try something more traditional next time to see if it might change my impression! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at Busaba! The vibrant atmosphere fits perfectly with their delicious food. I especially enjoyed their fresh spring rolls; they were the best I've ever had! However, the Pad Thai was a bit bland for my taste. Overall, I was pleased with the service and ambiance, and I’d recommend trying the appetizers here. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a restaurant! Busaba serves some of the most authentic Thai food I've encountered outside of Thailand. From savory curries to perfectly cooked noodles, everything was an explosion of flavors! The ambiance is cozy, perfect for a family dinner. The servers are attentive and genuinely care about your experience. I can't wait to return and try more dishes from their extensive menu! " (*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*)
