Went here last night with a friend, I’m vegan, he’s not, I was impressed!
Highly recommend spring rolls and the aubergine curry, both 10/10!
The weeping tiger soy dish was a nice flavor but terrible consistency - so tough! The pad Thai was honestly absolutely rubbish, no flavor at all, but was okay when I mixed the noodles with the aubergine curry sauce.
Davide, the Sicilian server, was super nice! Attentive and friendly!

Delicious quick and easy dinner at Busaba Soho. Service was great and it had a nice atmosphere-even seated at a share table. We had spring rolls roti pad Thai and tamarind duck, which was the highlight.
What a beautiful night we had. Showed up 5 of us and we didn’t have any booking. We promptly seated. Food was amazing. Service was impeccable. I would like to thank to Deniz who made our night really unforgettable. Highly recommended.
Basic.
Honestly nothing special! We went for dinner with some friends and 2 out of the 3 plates that I have ordered it was not available (no ribs, no duck breast). My rice bowl with pork was pretty basic, nothing exceptional or flavourful.
Pad Thai was ok (maybe there were 3-4 prawns in it).
Service is very slow, we have been asked for drinks and no one has taken the food order for over half an hour. Food arrived slowly al well and as soon as served we were told pretty much immediately that the kitchen was closing - taking into consideration that we had a reservation for 8PM and that the kitchen closes at 10PM, you can imagine how slow and inefficient the service was.
Lastly: the do not take Amex! Be aware that there is no sign or anything that states that, so you will find out only when you will pay. Unprofessional!
Putting aside my personal opinion, that Busaba is a big Company and not the chicken shop around the corner, you should inform customers of your payment restrictions.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Not a lot of fussing from the staff but they are around and attentive to needs which creates a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
The food is so flavorsome and rich without being heavy at all. The calamari was particularly delicious.
Will definitely back again soon!

Had teams lunch here. Amazing Calamari and Beef ginger. They also had Pad Thai as lunch Special for £12. Instead of £14. But none of us ordered. Service could have been little bit more attentive.
Every time I come to London I must stop at Busaba! This time Soho has been my favorite location by far. The calamari was the best I've had ever! Not to mention the green curry is to die for.
So I have come here twice for work lunch. Both times I did have a 4 star experience.
I have had way better, and even authentic, Thai food elsewhere. The chili prawn fried rice is very good. The soyamari appetizer can be good if you are a vegan. The curries are just okay.
I am not a fan of the concept of sharing tables and at Busaba this is expected. The wait staff once did get confused on which guys around the table are in our party.
