Krua Thai

This place is excellent. The food and cost are fantastic. The only downside is that (and maybe it's because they leave the door open??) there are a ton of little flies or nats, particularly if you sit next to the wall. One flew inside of my glass. The Thai Iced Tea is delicious, but really... all of the food was. I did get a salad (not included type), appetizer, main dish, and a drink that wasn't soda pop.

We love Thai food so we wanted to try out Krua in Monterey. We started off with the chicken satay appetizer and shrimp in a blanket. Both was very good but I especially liked the shrimp in the blanket. It was crispy, sauce had just enough sweetness abd the shrimp was nice and tender. I definitely recommend it! For dinner we chose egglplant with tofu, cucumber salad, pad kee mao or what we call drunken noodles with chicken, green curry with chicken and for dessert the sticky rice with mango. We chose #3 for heat. The Eggplant was delicious, sauce was so good only thing was tofu was a little over cooked to me. Cucumber salad was nice and refreshing and love the light dressing. The pad kee mao or what we call drunken noodles was ok. We're use to a different style so in all fairness when we compared it to what we usually get we were disappointed. Chicken was a little bland for my taste. The green curry with chicken was delicious and sauce was my favorite, again chicken was a little bland for me. The dessert which is one of my favorite was quite disappointing because the mago was so wayyyyy too tart. So it ruined the dessert for us. It almost tasted like lemon was added to the mango before they served it. Not sure if thats what they did but thats how it tasted. I ordered the wonton soup for my Dad for take out. Lots of veggies, good amount of wonton, soup was tasty. So overall food was ok but it seemed to be a local favorite cause there was many returned customers and restaurant was full. So I would say definitely try them out see what you think. Service was very good and friendly. Enjoy!

Fresh, clean, on time, and always delicious! The service is five-star! They are one of the most adaptable restaurants we’ve ever been to. Many restaurants mess up orders because they don’t listen to what the person is saying. or they don’t check the order with what they’re packing. For five years that we’ve gone there twice a month. We’ve never had an order messed up, which I really appreciate. Krua Thai is clean and the food is always fresh. They have a wonderful menu that caters to everyone. Since I am a on and off Vegetarian, they are very accommodating. . I find them to be five star all the way around! Sometimes we dine there, but mostly we get takeout, they have never messed up an order. When they say it’s going to be ready it’s ready. We are very adventurous diners, so we try all kinds of things. Their food is always delicious! Five stars in every aspect!
