Pad Kee Mao was not bad, but signature rolls were mid / green curry was uncomfortably spicy (even though we typically love “hot” cuisine) / tom kha had 2 pieces of shrimp.

“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”
“I’ve been to this restaurant 45 min before closing.”
I’ve been to this restaurant 45 min before closing. The place was cozy and cute. The atmosphere was good. The service was great. My friends and I loved the tom-yum soup also the thai fried rice. My personal favorite is the mango sticky rice. The places I’ve been use white rice but here they used red rice it was rich in flavor and no need of ice cream to pair the dish itself was so rich in flavor. All in all i loved the food.

“It’s my 8 time here at Busaba Thai Garden Restaurant and I never tire eating their delicious food.”
It’s my 8 time here at Busaba Thai Garden Restaurant and I never tire eating their delicious food. My favorite is their papaya salad, spring rolls and curry egg roll. Tom yum soup is very refreshing and comforting in this cold weather. The owners are very friendly and very talented chefs. They are hands on with the preparation of their food, always serving the freshest ingredients. The food is fair priced and their specials is a must try. Hardworking, amazing small business owners. The atmosphere they’ve created is very cute and I love that they have live plants that’s thriving very well.

If you have a short layover like we did and want a great place to stop in and grab a nice meal, head to Busada Garden. We really enjoyed soups and especially the pad Thai! Don’t miss it!

“Just tried “Pad Thai Korat” and it was so good — the flavors were spot on, just like the real thing back in Thailand.”
Just tried “Pad Thai Korat” and it was so good — the flavors were spot on, just like the real thing back in Thailand. The balance of sweet, salty, and tangy was perfect, and it really brought me back home. Definitely recommend if you’re craving something authentic!

“Hands down the best Thai we’ve had in the city in a really long time.”
Hands down the best Thai we’ve had in the city in a really long time. The “Thai spicy” is not for the faint of heart. The Panang curry was vibrant and delicious. Don’t sleep on it.

“Busaba is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had.”
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.”
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.
