Krua Thai

Fresh, vibrant ingredients coupled with friendly staff make this one of my go-to Thai food locations. I mostly get lunch here, they have a very good lunch specials menu. Plenty of parking in the rear lot if there isn't a spot right out front. They have a very small dining area so currently it's take out only.

Not impressed with the food here but it’s better than take out greasy Chinese food. Ordered two different dishes and they looked the same to me. I think the other dishes are not interesting as well. Kind of expensive to chopped up vegetables in a sauce. They charge for rice at dinner. Who does that anymore? Is it that expensive to include rice? It’s definitely a take out place because of the limited seating, small space, and not much parking. The staff seemed nice.

One of the best Thai places in MA! I love Thai food, but recently we moved away from Brookline, and we have been missing our favorite place, Khao Sarn. None of the Thai food in Needham is any good, and the places we tried in Newton weren't great either. However, tonight we tried Krua Thai after doing some shopping at the Natick Mall and it was fantastic! The chicken dumpings were topped with just a little bit of scallions and sesame seeds and were delicious. The Pad Kee Mao, my favorite Thai dish, was the best I've had in years. The string beans and onions were perfectly cooked, just enough to still add a nice crunch, and the sauce was also the right amount of savory, sweet and spicy. We asked for the Pad Kee Mao to be mild, something we've tried to do at other places and it was either still crazy spicy or flavorless. This was perfect, just a little bite and bursting with flavor. The last thing we always get to compare Thai places was the Pad Thai, which was also so delicious, the noodles were moist and it was exactly what you expect from a Pad Thai. The prices were very reasonable, cheaper than Khao Sarn in Brookline. We will be making this a regular stop from now on, now that we have discovered it as a secret.

This place was a favorite before the pandemic. But quality went downhill across multiple orders spanning months. It's too bad such a great place has changed. I'll take my spending to other places. Inconsistent meat quality or taste, some dishes felt watery, and other details that I expect are no longer consistent. I used to be excited to grab food from Krua but that "excitement" is GONE.
