Best bang for the buck is the lunch combo. Ordered the cashew chicken & tom yum soup. Food is flavorful, fresh & no skimping on the ingredients. The menu is quite extensive & service was attentive.

another strong local contender for Thai restaurant. food took a little while to get to me but it was good, they make delicious chicken larb, with so many other Thai restaurants in the area it’s hard to tell what sets this one apart.

This isn’t your typical take-out restaurant. Bua Luang is a quaint little Thai Restaurant on the Albany side of Solano Ave. We always enjoy coming here to have some pad thai and other dishes. Their flavors are very rich and not overly salty. Mango sticky rice dessert was beautiful plated and yummy!

We went here on a Saturday night and arrived about 8 p.m. We were told they were closing soon (!!) so we should order quickly. We quickly made our selections, then waited . . . and waited to place our order, finally getting up and tracking down the server to place the order. The food didn’t come very quickly but we started right in once it did. Within 15 minutes they put our check down, never asking how things were or if we wanted anything else. Then they started putting chairs on the tables around us and doing similar things to convey quite clearly that we weren’t welcome, even though it was about 8:45 on a Saturday and we hadn’t had our food that long. Never going back here!

Walking into the restaurant at 8:20, we were reminded of the 9:00 PM closing and if this was OK. Per the ensuing dining experience, we were rushed through every aspect of the meal including of course, the tab. In retrospect takeout would have been a more pleasurable option. The waitresses seemed more intent on vacating the premises by 9:15. Regrettably, an all too common an experience post-pandemic, with early closing, impatient staff-that are effectively discouraging business after 8:00 PM. All with notably higher prices-not all attributable to ingredients inflation.
