On a blistery cold and windy evening, we met at Busara in the Tysons area. We were greeted by very friendly staff and seated near the back. The decor is very colorful, eclectic, and contemporary. Our waitress is from Thailand and has been in this country for four months. She was very sweet and patient with us as it takes a while for us to even get to the menu. She brought us chilled white wine and told us the specials. We ordered soup to start...Tom Yum Goong and Wonton soup. The Tom Yum Goong had shrimp and mushrooms in a hot and sour lemon grass broth. The Wonton soup was light and flavorful with light shrimp and chicken dumplings, veggies, and slivers of roasted pork. Then we shared three entrees...Honey Roasted Duck, Moo Yank (pork), and Pad King (chicken). The pork was our favorite with two different sauces, one spicy and the other more on the sweet side, brown rice and grilled veggies. Yum. The chicken was in a light bean sauce with ginger, onions, mushrooms and very moist. The duck was served sliced with the skin and fat over steamed spinach, watercress, crispy noodles, sweet soy sauce and pickled ginger. The author of today's blog liked it less than the other two sisters.
We enjoyed sharing what's new with our lives, and sat down to business coming up with a long list of restaurants to try. If you want us to check a place out, let us know.
Our overall experience was very positive. Easy parking, friendly staff, good food, and a cheerful and warm atmosphere. We would recommend Busara's if you are looking for a good Thai experience.
