Busaba Eathai at The O2

I enjoyed the food here and I was very surprised at how much I did enjoy it. I thought because of the location, it was going to be similar to Wagamamas in that it would be quick.
To start, we ordered the calamari and the chicken satay. The chicken satay was very good and sooooooo hot temperature wise, like it had just come off of the grill. Dipped in the satay sauce — awesome! The calamari was also very tasty, it had a sweet and sour taste to it which I liked.
For mains, I had the duck massaman curry with rice and my companion had this deep fried chicken with sticky rice. My curry was very tasty and the portion was a decent size as well. I still, prefer lamb massaman curry though however that is if I was forced to choose. There was a decent amount of duck in the curry as well.
The waiting staff were very helpful and polite, and the service was good. Overall, if I want something quick, tasty and filling, I shall definitely visit here again. A good shout before a show as well.

I’ve been to the chain in Stratford and was very impressed with the food and as I was craving something similar I jumped at the opportunity when it presented itself at the o2.
We were seated very quickly and the service was very prompt with additional plates and cutlery offered up when required. The food is really good and a great starter is the chicken satay as well as the calamari which is so unique it’s worth it alone.
My partner had the duck curry which was delicious, however as I had had this dish before I opted to go with a fried chicken dish. I felt the meal portions were adequate however I felt mine could of had a bit more sauce to it as it only came with sticky rice and would of been pretty dry had I not improvised by utilising other sauces from the other dishes such as the starters.
All in all the dining experience is quite fun, don’t go if you want a table to yourself as its a more the merrier type scene with you dining next to other parties and groups on the same table, however as we went during a lull period we did have the table to ourselves. Also a good idea to share some dishes as the bill can rack up quickly but all in all I was impressed.

Tasty food and good service. This location is within the 02 shopping center so plenty to do around. The serviuce was unusually fast and I believe we were in and out within an hour (which is good!).

Pretty good thai restaurant inside the O2 arena. Not the cheapest but compared to the food concessions in the main arena, it was pretty good value.
Service was a bit slow but at least you don’t have far to go to watch your ‘show’

This was my first visit to a Busaba Eathai and I’ll definitely be back! My companion and I went for the 2 course £12.95 set menu which was great value.
We shared the two small dishes — chicken satay and vegetable spring rolls. The satay was delicious, although a smaller portion than expected (maybe you get more in the full size starter?). The spring rolls were okay, and there were more of those than expected (5!) with a lovely sweet chilli dipping sauce.
My main was the ginger beef with jasmine rice and it was delicious.
My only criticism is that several of the menu options weren’t available at my visit, with no pre-​warning. I ordered two dishes before picking one that was actually available.

Yeah, it’s solid. It’s never going to be the best eats but if you need tasty quick dinner before a show, this is a good spot.
Make a reservation, it’s packed. Always. We had to queue just to get up to the front to give them our name so we could sit at our table. Yikes.
But the food came out fast and we were checked on all the time. I got the pad thai with crab and it was tasty. We also got the curry which was not as good, kind of bland actaually.
So not amazing but not terrible, a good option for a quick meal.

My favourite Busaba branch. We never have to queue up and the food served here is just that nudge better than the branch at Stratford Westfield.
Order a tea here because then you will get to try the lovely and mouthwatering biscuits that only true Busaba regulars know of. If you are more of a beer guy or gal the Singha beer will rarely disappoint you.
The meals themselves are always super tasty and it seems like they have recently updated their menu card to include only their very best dishes. We always go for the calamari as a side and I suggest that you do so as well.

My favourite green curry fried rice is not available in last visit as they were having a busy night as well as ¼ of the menu is not available due to the same reason as well.
A bit disappointed however the food is still at very good standard and genuine Thai favor too. Will definitely come again.
