Busaba Thai | Boulder — Restaurant in Boulder

I was a regular here but I won't return here.

This is the first time I ate here during peak hours. I ordered pork drunken noodles, along with everyone else in the group. As usual nothing else was said and we received our food. While eating I started to feel sick, which was weird, then I realized that the food tasted mildly of shrimp. As a person who is allergic to shrimp, this was very upsetting. If they are sharing cooking equipment with shrimp, they should at least mention it or ask about possible allergies. I talked to the front desk, and he was saying if you wanted shrimp, you need to order it. And multiple times I told him that is not it. If I did not order shrimp I would expect it not to be there due to my food allergies.

Sharing cooking equipment during peak hours, I understand. But not mentioning it, and refusing to acknowledge it, I am terribly disappointed. Will not recommend for...

Excellent Thai food, very similar to our favorite Thai place back home in NY! Our server, Janelle, was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed her positive attitude and her pride in representing the establishment. I had the Hooky noodles with chicken, a warmly flavorful yellow curry with satisfyingly delicious wide noodles and thinly sliced carrots, peppers, onions, and snow pea pods. This is a comfort food that I would be happy to enjoy in my favorite poofy chair with my feet tucked under me and a fluffy blanket while I listen to some good old 70’s soft rock. My husband had the Panang curry with chicken, which he ordered with a medium heat level. He would have licked the bowl if we weren’t polite. We will definitely be back next time...

We are a big fan of Busaba in Louisville and have been there many times and have found the food outstanding. We were excited to have a Busaba in Boulder, but when we went there we were extremely disappointed. The Pad Thai was bland and the garlic pepper chicken had a horrible flavor as if it were spiced with old garlic salt and not real garlic. It was inedible. The menu was very small and did not have the spring rolls or many of our favorite dishes from the Louisville location. While we were eating a service person sprayed down the table next to us using bleach, causing my husband to start sneezing. I hope Busaba Boulder can get their act together and improve the quality of the food and create a more hospitable indoor...
