Krua Thai doesn't show up in any of my "where to eat vegan" sources, but I gave it a try and am so glad I did. The menu has great pictures along with designations showing dishes they can make vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free. Takes out all the guesswork. I love Thai, but have low spice heat tolerance, so I asked if they could make the drunken noodles mild, and they said sure. Wow. They were so good! I get hungry now just thinking about them and am already planning on another visit next time I'm in town!

It was good, not great. I ordered yellow curry with plain chicken and I wish the server would have asked if I wanted it spicy, I like it to be medium but it was a bit bland with far too many potatoes and not enough other vegetables, even though I paid for extra veggies.We also ordered spring rolls and they were good but certainly didn’t look at all like the photos on-line.The massaman curry and the pineapple curry were delicious but again, not med. or hot and the server didn’t ask.The brown rice was phenomenal, easily the best brown rice I’ve eaten. Very substantial and large portions.We were surprised at the unexpected extras, deep fried roll and rangoon. Thoughtful but far too much oil.Service was good, kept our water glasses full the whole time.The place had a real fun, funky decor including a lit Christmas tree in back, deer antler light fixtures, animal skulls and more.Paid parking in front or 2 hour free one block east.We’d go again just not 5 star.

Great set-up with a gigantic transformer bubblebee right at front.1) savory chicken wings ( Thai style tamarind sauce based with fried onions on top ) tastes really good! You have to try this out!2) crying Tiger( basically a marinated steak served with a side of salad and spicy and ranch dressing ) this is a good dish too don't forget to ask for Thai tea haha it goes well with itThe portion here is huge so, make sure you prepare to share your dishAnd I will definitely come back to try more dishesWell-done

Great downtown spot for traditional Thai dishes. I ordered takeout off Grubhub. By the end of the estimated time my order was to be ready, it still showed that it was being made. I went to the restaurant and it was ready and clearly had been for some time. I’ve run into this a lot with Grubhub orders, where the restaurant never marks an order as ready. Prices were fair, the menu has all the Thai items you’d expect, and the staff were really nice.I ordered pad se ew, which I typically use as my benchmark for the quality of Thai restaurants. I ordered spicier than I normally do, but the flavor was still great. The broccoli was ever so slightly undercooked. I also found the addition of jalapeños offputting. Otherwise it was delicious. The food stayed warm for a while as I took it back to work.

The staff and owner are SO NICE and the food was absolutely delicious. We got the yellow curry and were not dissatisfied in the slightest. Perfectly balanced curry and the carrots and potatoes were cut nicely and the perfect texture. The chicken though was amazing! Perfectly crispy on the outside (not crunchy) and the chicken was still tender on the inside. Beautiful and peaceful building and even a large 1300lb bumblebee in the front to spice things up a bit?

Spent 45$ for a dinner and appetizer for just me. They tasted great. Took 1 1/2 hrs to deliver though so it was cold. I ordered through Ubereats so when they told me half hour i thought it would be half hour. The restaurant does their own delivery through Ubereats so i had to wait for 4 other orders to be delivered first. Unless you’re picking up yourself, save yourself the aggravation

I’ve only ordered takeout from here and so far my favorites are the fresh spring rolls, Thai Basil and the chicken wings. The coconut water is also pretty fantastic.With that said some things I ordered were a hit or miss like the drunken noodles, pad Thai and Thai tea.It is very possible that dining in is a better experience but I’ve yet to do that. Either way, it’s a pretty good choice for Thai food!

Service was just above bad. She gave us food and that's about it. We had to ask menu. I had to go to counter to get condiments. Waitress didn't even look once after serving if we needed anything else.Food was okay, not bad, not good. Green thai curry is actually yellow, upcharged for tofu and veggies i.e. two protiens, but didnt seem like extra by any means. Pad thai curry is just flat noodles with marginal toss in sauces with a side of store bought dried out carrots julienne cut and dirty sprouts (not on purpose am sure).Not value for money for sure.Will not be returning anytime soon.

Decided to try this place from the pictures. Disappointed with how the food was when I got it. Thai Fried rice was like white rice, the dumpling I got was okay but got the sauce was fully spilled inside it when I got the order.

Everything was so good. The Breath of Sun dish is amazing. ?
