Busara Thai Cuisine

Lunch with our family in Bellingham! So tasty! Service was very friendly, you need a reservation to sit in the back more authentic area but they were super nice to comodante for us! The food came out very fast and nicely hot! The place is beautiful and rather quiet, very clean and comfortable. If you are up for a delicious and nice experience come to Busara!!! Yum!!!!

I'm so glad ethnic restaurants are in Bellingham. The restaurant is cozy and colorful and the service is friendly. For those expecting or wanting an authentic Thai experience, this won't be it. If you're in the market for American Thai, you'll be satisfied. Vegetarians and vegans have options. An average meal with one beer usually sets me back just shy of $30. For times when American Thai is better than other local options.

Boasting a superb location and inviting ambiance, this place offers the convenience of ample free parking in the Sehome parking lot. While it leans towards the pricier side, the quality of the experience and the amazing taste of the food make it well worth the investment.

I'd rate their quality of food on par with Buddha Ruska in West Seattle. Great flavor without the spices that blows up the taste. Super friendly servers and they were very attentive even with a packed house on a Friday night. We ordered this steamed seafood dish that came wrapped in foil that was amazing. Very Subtle tasty flavor. Their Thom Yum soup wasn't overly sour and had great balance. I would recommend this place!

Kee-Mao noodles with chicken. The wide square noodles and chicken were delicious. Noodles like that can be difficult to make but these were pretty perfect. Fresh chicken added to sautéed veg make this a "have the next time too" dish. Sampled the Pad Thai and the noodles were perfect. Restaurant is nice and has traditional seating. The service was prompt and efficient.

Ok, so my husband and I stopped here on a whim, and we are so glad we did. First the ambience is lovely, they have a wonderful interior and some large family style seating areas which is perfect. But onto the most important bit, the food! I decided to go with the chicken pad Thai, because it is a love of mine. And I was not disappointed! This pad Thai was saucy and the rice noodles were delish. My husbands dish was even better, his wise rice noodles were divine, and the yummy sauce was carmelized, the peppers and basil were also just right. Absolutely a place we will come back to.

Came here for the first time since another place was delayed opening for 30 minutes. Glad we did. Curry dish was very good but it's city wide that Thai Spicy--level 5--is wimpy in this geographic area. I'm used to level 4 in San Francisco and Los Angeles areas being like fire. Level 5 in Bellingham is more like a 2 to me--after trying 6 to 7 Thai restaurants in this area. Hmmm? I've eaten with individuals born and raised in Thailand AND others who lived and worked for 6+ years in Thailand and when I asked for level 4 damn it was flavorful and HOT. My mouth was on fire for at least 2 hours after the meal. This was at restaurants in downtown Los Angeles and Westminster, CA. Perhaps there is more of a Northern Thailand influence in the greater Los Angeles area. Grew up eating all kinds of Asian food growing up in Los Angeles and wife grew up, where I met her, in Monterey Park, CA. I'm gonna have to research this. Enjoyed the meal and the great service. Will come back here again and again.

Wow! This was yummy food. We ordered our food for pick up. It was ready in the time they said it would be. We ordered chicken pad Thai and the gang gai with chicken. We moved up here 3 years ago from San Francisco and have been hunting for good Thai. We finally have our spot. If you are use to panang curry.... I recommend the gang gai. As their panang curry has peanut. In SF that wasn't how it was made, so I'm glad I read the descriptions before ordering. We also had the crab ragoons. Very tasty as well. Can't wait to try more next time. When we picked up our food the place was packed on a Tuesday evening. Thank you for having tasty food! We really needed it!

My Spousal Unit and I joined her sister and partner at Busara for dinner this evening, and this restaurant is excellent! We're all Thai cuisine aficionados, so our expectations were pretty high. Busara exceeded those expectations. Here's why:1. The menu is varied and extensive, providing choices to suit most tastes and appetites.2. The four of us ordered different dishes, none of them similar. Pad Scallop was prepared very simply, with just large scallops, shiitake mushrooms, and snow peas in a mild sauce. My fried rice, with chicken, sausage, and prawns, had a piquant curry flavor, and plenty of diced onions, scallions, cashews. Pad Thai can be often made with a lack of effort at many restaurants, but this wasn't the case At Busara! Noodles were cooked perfectly, as was the chicken, and the sauce was just plain perfect. I don't remember the fourth entree's name, except it was a noodle dish packed with prawns and sautéed vegetables. Superb flavor! 3. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and very competent. Our food was delivered quickly, and exactly as requested.4. Three of the four entrees were of sufficient quantity to provide another meal. The fourth was just right for my Spousal Unit, leaving her happily full and satisfied.5. Very good value for what we received.My only suggestion would be to stock at least one brand of alcohol free beer. But the lack of that in no way detracted from an outstanding dining experience.

Pretty good. This place completely depends on what meal you get. They have their own unique style of flavors and they put their own spin on things, not all of which are my favorites. For example, today I got the Khao Soi. Instead of doing a traditional northern Thai style, they use Ramen noodles and their broth is very much a yellow curry instead of a red curry with some yellow and turmeric. I have been here a number of times, and I would say the service is typically just average. Not bad, not great. It is a pretty cool setting as far as their decor and their ambience goes. And they do have one section that is more traditional Thai style seating.
