Busaba Garden Thai Cuisine

I came in for their soft opening and everything was amazing! We had the papaya salad, veggie rolls, signature rolls, chicken wings, chicken satay, pad see ew, and black garlic salmon—all so delicious and authentic. As a fellow Thai person with high standards for Thai food, I was seriously impressed. I’m also really happy to finally have a Thai restaurant close to home. The owners, Eve and Armera, are so kind and welcoming—they truly deserve all the support. We ended with the fried ice cream, and it was the perfect finish. I’ll definitely be back!

My partner and I went here bc it’s right across from our college campus and were so surprised at how amazing everything was. The interior was filled with plants and cute decorations, it was pretty empty but felt warm and inviting, and the atmosphere was so peaceful. We were greeted by a really nice waiter who told us how everything worked with the menu because we were first timers. We ended up ordering the Thai iced coffee, the tropical iced tea, green curry with tofu, pad thai with tofu, and mango sticky rice. They were really accommodating to our dietary restrictions: I’m vegan and my partner is flexitarian. The drinks, food and dessert were all amazing and came out really fast, but not all at once. I wanted my food a little spicier once I got it and was given some freshly made garlic chili oil, which was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked. They had us pay at the counter and I pointed out a small price difference from the menu and what was charged and they gave us an extra tea to go for our troubles. Also, everything was reasonably priced for what it was. They have cheap and expensive options based on what ingredients were used and how everything is prepared, but nothing was really that pricy. We will definitely be coming back! <3

I’ve been here multiple times since it opened, and I can confidently say their food is the best ever! The owners Eve and Armera are the sweetest and most welcoming people—it’s always a pleasure to chat with them, they’re so kindhearted and have a passion for what they do. It’s especially touching that their recipes come from home, so nothing feels generic. They even put their own twist on certain dishes, so it feels extra special! My go-to is the Massaman curry, which you can customize by spice level and protein—I always love pairing it with chicken! I’ve also tried the green curry, sweet roti, and the ice cream with fried banana combo. I’ve dined here with both friends and my mom, so I can’t recall the names of every dish I’ve tasted, but trust me, they’ve all been delicious (I remembered my mom saying she loved the sweet and sour chicken, and the mango sticky rice though!) There’s a wide variety to choose from, and it’s great for vegetarians too! Their Thai iced tea is the bomb, the strongest and most flavorful I’ve had. It’s incredibly creamy and refreshing, I’ve tried my friend’s dirty Thai that he ordered and it’s so nice too! The restaurant’s ambiance is colorful and well-lit, and I always feel at ease dining here. I genuinely adore the food—it’s authentic Thai cuisine made with love. I always feel welcomed, and I’m excited to bring more friends to try it out. This place was my introduction to Thai food, and I absolutely love it! Thank you so much for the kind service and hospitality! ^_^ 🩷💖💓💞 Also for some reason Google won’t let me add photos to review but I’ll try to edit this and see if I can include it- because the dishes are so mouthwatering >_< 🌹🌹 Update: I added the pics YAY!

Best Thai I’ve had. Nicest staff from the wait staff to the person that delivered our food. The chef came out to meet us. We had crab puffs, wings, signature rolls (tasted like potato samosas in the best way), and perfect fried tofu. All the sauces were great. For mains we tried pad see ew, basil chicken with rice, and pad kee mao. You can customize your spice level so each of us was able to have the level of spice we wanted. Everything was so fresh. The fried ice-cream was like vanilla ice cream wrapped in a churro. Highly recommend. Don’t forget to get a Dirty Thai iced!

Busaba is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Every single dish was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making me feel like I was having a home-cooked meal at a dear friend’s house. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more special. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better — a sweet dessert at the end of the meal completed everything perfectly. Thank you so much to the entire team at Busaba. This was one of the most satisfying and heartwarming meals I’ve had in a long time. I left full, happy, and already thinking about when I’ll be back. 💛

My dear friend, and I tried a new restaurant tonight in our neighborhood. It is a Thai restaurant called Busaba Gardens on 3246 W Foster just west of Kedzie. The food was not only beautiful, but amazingly delicious. I had Pad Thai that was so yummy. We tried their sticky rice and both of us were shocked at how wonderful it tasted in addition to its lovely presentation. This is definitely a place to come back to. If you’re in the neighborhood, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

The chicken satay came in a much larger portion than expected for an appetizer, but I didn’t mind as it was absolutely delicious! As for the main dishes (I had Pad See Ew and Spicy Tom Yum Chicken over rice), they were indescribably good. The flavors were mellow, and the prices were quite affordable considering the quality of the food and the cozy dining atmosphere!

I’m sitting here eating a dessert I would have never ordered after eating a delicious stir fry and I’m so happy this is nearby. The staff is so friendly, the restaurant is well designed and feels welcoming, and the food is delicious. I ordered the mixed vegetable stir fry with chicken and they made sure the sauce didn’t have gluten. My husband ordered the basil stir fry and also loved it. We got signature rolls and they were delicious. Next time we’ll definitely be ordering the mango and sticky rice again because it was delicious. Highly recommend! Food is fresh and flavors are great. Portion sizes are perfect and price is good!
