Super-casual Thai restaurant with communal tables and benches

Busaba Cardiff

Lovely, stuff was very friendly and approachable restaurant super clean. I had the asparagus fried rice and the malted chicken wings and the Mekong daiquiri and it was all so delicious and really well paired. I will definitely come back here when I come back to Cardiff!

Had a delicious pad Thai and spring rolls, perfect portion of food and the place was done out beautifully. Good music on in the background so a good all round vibe... waiter was helpful and friendly 👌

One of my absolute favourite places to eat, the best meals with the most amazing staff, couldn’t recommend it enough, we’ve tried the belly pork, katsu breaded chicken and the duck noodles and never had any complaints, our most recent server was Cassius who was so lovely, more than happy to recommend dishes based on foods you liked, it’s one of the only places I could honestly eat at every day of the week!

I can not praise more this restaurant. I've tried food here after i lost my apetite and not been eating well and it is amazing!
Today though I am only writting  about the  Sweet and sour ma mong chicken (on the left, green chicken curry, on the right, and coconut rice. Added a side of chilly flakes and spicy fresh chilly because we like spicy. The dessert topped it all up! sticky mango rice -pudding-, which is my new favorite (after my mom's tiramisu of course 😁)
If you like their food as much as i do you are also welcome to buy their cook book, which they sell for £25/piece . Love it!

Recently visited on a Saturday afternoon, table we were seated at was right in the draft of the door. We were moved no problem, drinks nice food ordered. One of groups mains was off the menu, so had to reorder.
Meal was tasty but not really impressed.
The duck was cooked slightly over which made it quick chewy and sauce was sparse. Not sure if I'd return. But other members of the party enjoyed their meals.

Most of our chicken dishes are halal! Just check with the manager on duty to find out which ones.
