Buba Noodle - Manchester

Went for an early dinner on a Sunday to meet up with a friend from out of town. Got small plates and tea for conversation. All the food was tasty so I look forward to trying the entrees. Staff greeted us quickly and was attentive to any questions we had. It looks like the bar is a main feature for sit in folks so I can't comment too much as we skipped that part this time around. They looked well setup for takeout too so even if the bar isn't your thing grab something to go if you want to try some new but cozy food.

Maybe my favorite meal ever! Steak pho is full of layered flavors, and I love that you get to make some flavor choices yourself with the options add-ins. Friendly and quick service too.

Amazing! I came on a Tuesday when they have a alternative menu, ready to eat everything for a good deal. I got the bao flight which is a genius idea because how can you even choose one and duh they were all delicious. I also got the devil noodles which packs some heat and I can usually handle it, but I had to pace myself and ask for some water haha but of course it all got devoured. This is a really nice lowkey spot with an awesome playlist on the speakers and welcoming staff.

Hostess was pleasant. Small place with tables too close together for our comfort. Lack of privacy The food we ordered (ramen noodle bowls with added vegetables and some meat) were visually appealing and the taste was acceptable, though not exceptional. The portions were modest. The punchline though was that the price was just far too high for what we received. Two bowls of noodles with some vegetables and small meat portion came to $45 with tip. No drinks, no extras. Yikes! This felt insulting. This experience had no value at all for us. At some point we feel we must all simply stop overspending on the food some restaurants serve. What we received was, in our opinion, not worth what we paid and not what we expected. Therefore, we will not return. We do not blindly believe the simplistic tenet that you get what you pay for . Paying more simply means you pay more unless you received a commensurate increase in quality, quantity, etc. Paying more and getting less is not acceptable. As always, the content of this entire review is just our opinion and our feelings, based upon our single experience. Our conclusions are just that ours alone. Further, our experience is not necessarily representative of the experiences of others. Some other Trip Advisor reviewers like the place. Consider visiting the place and forming your own opinion.

Genuinely one of the best Thai places I've been to, everyone was so nice, above and beyond. The vibe was just as good the place is so calming and the Thai tea and the banana rolls were to die for!
