" I am enamored with this restaurant. Quick, delicious, and incredibly authentic! I had the mango sticky rice and it was heavenly. The service was fast and friendly, making my experience all the better. It’s a simple spot, perfect for a casual night out with friends. You will definitely get your money’s worth at Bua 9. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ordered takeout from Bua 9 and was pleased with the swift service. However, when I got home, some of my dishes were not as I expected. The fried rice was bland and nearly tasteless—a little disappointing considering their reputation. On the plus side, the spring rolls were delicious and crispy. I’ll likely give it another try but will be cautious in my choices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to rave about their green curry! It's packed with flavor and they don't shy away from heat—thank goodness! I ordered it at 4 stars and it delivered. I love when places actually follow through on the spice level requested. The service was friendly and attentive too, making the experience nice. The place is unassuming, but who cares when the food is this good? " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the Tom Kha soup and it exceeded my expectations! The flavors were rich and satisfying. The ambiance was a little underwhelming, but the service made up for it. I wish there was more variety in desserts offered on the menu—they could really elevate the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent visit to Bua 9. Their dishes are decent but not remarkable. The pad thai felt slightly off. It wasn’t bad, but I expected it to be better based on the buzz. My friend enjoyed her green curry, though! Service was attentively friendly, so I would think about going back again, potentially for a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" What stands out about Bua 9 is the authentic atmosphere coupled with genuinely delicious Thai food. I ordered the khao soi and it reminded me of my travels. 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*)
