I am quite passionate about Thai food since much of it is delicious. However, since much of their food is on the spicier side, I tend not to eat a lot of it. Which takes me to the city of Albany where I had the opportunity in trying out Bua Luang . Located in the heart of downtown Albany directly on Solano Ave and just a couple blocks east of San Pablo Ave, this place has been dishing out delicious South Asian Thai food dating way back to 1990. Which means locals and residents of surrounding areas have eaten here at least one time or another. As far as their menu goes, this place is fairly standard with a wide variety of Thai offerings. This includes noodles, curry dishes, seafood specialtie...
I've lived in the neighborhood my entire life but never tried Bua Luang! Each time I've passed by it's been jamming so I was excited to try this spot for a girl's night out. The restaurant is simple and modest with indoor and outdoor seating. The interior has natural elements with a calming environment surrounded by Thai decor. The workers are all kind and constantly check in while dishes come out promptly. Whenever I go to a Thai restaurant I order Pad Thai as a basic standard dish. Their Pad Thai with Chicken was everything you look for in Pad Thai--sweet, savory, and slightly nutty. I liked how it also came with tofu! My friend enjoyed her Duck Noodle Soup. For the price, portions were pl...
I have passed by this restaurant numerous times without stopping, but a few weeks ago, I finally decided to try it after a flight since it was the only place open at 9:30 PM. The food was fantastic! I had the pumpkin curry, and it was so delicious that I’ve returned four times since. Everything has been consistently tasty! The coconut pad thai, fried dumplings, and yellow curry were all excellent. The restaurant is quite busy with takeout orders and delivery drivers, but there’s also a nice atmosphere for dining in. The prices are reasonable, the service is very good, and the food is outstanding!
My friends and I visited this restaurant on the afternoon of Solano Stroll, and they almost turned us away because we weren’t aware they were closing early for the event. Fortunately, they allowed us in! We enjoyed a delicious meal of pumpkin curry, shrimp pad thai, and tofu satay. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends. This place is just as amazing as we remembered!

Cute little spot with fresh Thai food and fun presentation. Parking can take a few extra minutes but there's usually not more than a 5 minute walk. Romantic lighting and nice decor. Located on a busy pedestrian street among other businesses, nice for walking around after a meal.
This place has been a staple for the last couple of years when we want to treat ourselves. Just really high-quality, fresh food that is consistently delicious, including the BEST pad see ew I’ve ever had.
Really enjoyed the red curry, great taste and spicy, without being too hot. The lamb special was also great! Adequate number of street parking places in the area, we sat fast and our food came very fast.
A cozy atmosphere paired with delicious food! It seems like they might be toning down the spices for newcomers. If you're a seasoned foodie, you'll definitely be ready for a flavorful adventure!
