" Had I known about Bua 9 sooner, I would have raved about it long ago! Each dish felt authentically Thai, and the option to customize spice levels was a huge plus. The customer service is genuinely caring. I believe they value their customers and want to provide a great experience. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The variety of dishes at Bua 9 is impressive. The special dishes give a taste of the actual Thai cuisine, which is hard to find here! My friends and I ordered several items and shared, which is the best way to experience their menu. Everything was flavorful, but beware of the spice level; it is no joke! A fantastic choice for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Thai food, look no further than Bua 9! I've traveled extensively in Thailand, and this place reminds me of the street food back there. Each dish bursts with flavor and spice, exactly as you'd find it in Bangkok. The staff is friendly and very attentive—I've never had to wait long for my food. The portions are generous too! Definitely a must-try for anyone in the Columbia City area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Bua 9. The food I ordered was tasty overall, especially the crab fried rice, but service was quite slow that evening. The environment is laid-back—perfect for a casual dinner. However, the noise level could be an issue at peak hours. I wouldn’t mind coming back, but I hope the service improves next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful spot! I stopped by for a quick lunch and was blown away by the flavors. I ordered the papaya salad and it was refreshing and spicy, just how I love it! The staff made sure I felt welcomed and the food was surprisingly quick to arrive. However, the place could benefit from a little more décor to enhance the dining experience. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

The notes of coconut and curry made my taste buds dance with joy! The service was attentive without being intrusive, which I appreciated. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely blown away by my visit to Bua 9! I ordered the pineapple fried rice and the flavors were just outstanding. It’s not just food; it’s an experience. The portions are generous, and the spice levels are as advertised. Nice casual place that really steals the show with its food. Looking forward to my next visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
