Bua 9 Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Seattle

We came here out of curiosity to try a new place and had a great time. The owner greeted us and told us about the food and spices. We ended up getting the pumpkin curry, oceanic fried rice, tom yum, and coconut sticky rice.

First off the spice level is no joke like at other places, very spicy. I got the 5 and my mouth was burning the whole time, only order 5 if you can handle it, it's great.

The pumpkin curry was delicious. I love Asian pumpkins in my curry so was glad to see this option. Lots of veggies and meat provided as well, overall a great dish.

My girlfriend got the oceanic fried rice which had various sea food in it. Lots of protein and the fried rice isn't super oily which is very welcomed, you can taste more of the flavors in it. A very large portion as well.

The tom yum is good as well. I don't like tomatoes so can't comment that it is up to par as others but my girlfriend liked it a lot.

Finally the coconut dessert was delicious. Tasted like freshly made ice cream and the sticky rice was warm and cooked perfectly.

Honestly nothing here to complain about it's pretty solid and at a good price as well. I will be...

This was a very nice surprise on our walk down Rainier. The vibe is small, mom and pop. We chose to sit along the window and the noise from outside wasn't distracting. The service was great, the waitress was very nice, attentive and helpful, ready to answer any questions about the dishes. I enjoyed the vegetarian spring rolls and they were fresh, light and crunchy with a sweet dipping sauce. My son enjoyed the chicken gyoza. I couldn't get a detailed review because he ate them so fast, they were gone before I could ask, lol. The broccoli lover dish with fried tofu and white rice reminded me of my childhood. It was flavorful, lots of broccoli and the carrots still had a crunch to them. The tofu was fried perfectly. I asked for a 3 level of heat but I enjoy spicy food and would ask for a level 5 in the future. My son ordered the crunchy sushirito and he could not be happier with his choice. He said that it was flavorful and he really enjoyed the sauce because it came with two different options. I would highly recommend this restaurant to friends, family...

Good food, decent prices and convenient location!

The Massaman curry was really good! Little bit spicy for me but was definitely yummy and came with a decent amount of rice. Wasn't too big of a portion though, I could have used a bit more for the actual curry.

The pad thai was super yummy and a BIG portion. I usually add some veggies and green onion to the dish, which I didn't this time so it was mostly just noodles. My friend ordered it as two starts which for me was definitely too spicy. I usually order 0 starts because even for me that tends to have a little bit of a kick.

Overall both dishes were enough for two of us to share with some leftovers.

The dining area is pretty big and since we visited during the day around lunch time it wasn't too busy. The food came out QUICK and the service was very friendly and prompt.

If anything, I would recommend just a tad more in terms of ambiance and decor as the dining area itself was mostly basic and bland.

Overall happy with the visit though and would say it's...
