Krua Thai Restaurant

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.

This spot is a little above average. I really enjoyed my meal and got to taste the meals of my dinner guest. Starting with the Green Curry Pork Dumplings. Love the green curry, creamy and flavorful! Thai Clam Chowder- totally different spin, more of a broth - pretty sure that there was no cream in it. Interesting Thai spices, but honestly not my favorite. Main dish was seafood Pad Thai - I was a little taken back when it was served. Check out my picture - looks super small, right? The serving size definitely could have been larger. Way to many carrots…. Like half the dish. Also, I have never had a filet of fish plopped on seafood pad Thai. Usually, seafood pad Thai is like - shrimp, clams, scallops. Mussels were a nice touch….. The flavor was great, but the over abundance of carrots and the lack of noodles makes this a below average pad Thai. I am NOT into curry. My dinner guest ordered Massaman Curry and Penang Curry. IF I GO AGAIN, I WOULD GO FOR THOSE DISHES!!
