Great place!!!! Had there spicy thai rice with beef and chicken! And mannnnn was it good! Spice level was 2 just perfect not too spicy but still feel a kick!! Deff will be back again read more

Krachai has been flooding Facebook with very professional ads about their remodel and improved menu with a re-grand opening Sept 2nd, so we went on the 5th to check it out, as it used to be our favorite Thai place in Phoenix. Nothing was as expected. The menu and website says open Mon-Sun yet a sign in the window says CLOSED Mon-Tues, so be aware. The beverage menu was the same with Beer, Wine and Sake but as soon as we ordered, she told us they don't have a liquor license so no alcohol (usually restaurants have a sign at the door when they don't have one yet.) We were also told they have a limited menu with half the items crossed out. This was when we discovered it wasn't a remodel as advertised (everything was the same except for some new chair covers, the rest of the chairs and booth benches were worn out) instead it's under new ownership. When we walked in at 5:30PM on a Saturday we were the only ones in the place besides a guy picking up an order; later one couple came in and no one else while we were there. The menu indicates "Spicy Level 1-5: Mild to Thai Hot. Please choose your spice level wisely." We asked for mid level 3 and were told "everything is prepared Thai hot." So much for customization. We ordered the Crab Rangoon appetizer and the highly advertised Drunken Noodles with chicken. The "Rangoons" weren't at all that but mini burritos or egg rolls obviously frozen and reheated, greasy and just filled with cream cheese, served on a bed of wilted parsley. The entrée was brought out at the same time and looked nothing like their photos of noodles in brown sauce, golden slices of chicken and bright veggies. Instead the entire dish was brown and had no flavor except HOT. After two bites we called the server and asked for our bill, telling her we didn't like anything and were leaving. She really didn't look too surprised, but no offer of a comp or discount. We then went to another Asian restaurant and had a very nice meal. Needless to say we can scratch this once great place off our list. (Note: businesses get really nasty when you give negative reviews but what do customers have to gain by taking the time for honest reviews other than hoping to see improvements and alerting other customers in advance.) read more

Not much to rate them on since I just called in an order of Spicy Eggplant, #27 I think. It was very tasty, but I asked for spicy level 3 and it had no spiciness to it at all. I'll try them again, but I'll ask for it "hot" next time and hope I can eat it! read more

We have come here for take out and dine-in and everything has been absolutely delicious. We got their Pad Thai and Chicken Fried rice to go and even sitting for a while, are still the best I've had. The fresh rolls were exactly that, fresh. The crab Rangoon were amazing. The kids loved the chicken satay. The orange chicken was probably our least favorite of the night. However, it was still very good. The breading was light but still crunchy! We also got Curry to go. The Yellow chicken curry was perfect. Got a 2 out of 5 for heat and it was on the money. Just a little bit of heat. The pumpkin curry, man, what a unique treat, amazing. The atmosphere was relaxing and staff were kind and helpful. You need to try this!! 3*** = Just Okay 4**** = Set themselves a part with quality food and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there! read more

A Hidden Gem That Blossoms With Time I arrived shortly after opening and was the only guest at first, greeted by a solo server dressed in black with the restaurant's logo on her shirt. She welcomed me with a calm "Sit anywhere you'd like," and while she didn't offer specials upfront, her quiet attentiveness set the tone for what became a beautifully immersive experience. The space is rich with Thai cultural touches--embroidered elephant tablecloths under glass, silk-covered tables, woven baskets, and soft Thai pop music drifting from the kitchen. A Buddha statue and framed photos added depth and reverence to the decor. Even the privacy wall separating the kitchen was adorned with embroidered umbrellas and flowers. I ordered the lunch special: pad see ew noodles with fried tofu and vegetables, accompanied by a sweet-savory broth soup, crispy wonton crackers, and a spring roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully plated. Later, she brought out veggie spring rolls wrapped in crisp lettuce and carrots, served on a porcelain green leaf with peanut and sweet red sauces--visually stunning and delicious. As the restaurant filled up, the atmosphere shifted from serene to bustling. A large party arrived, and the server--still the only one on the floor--handled the crowd with grace and efficiency. Despite the growing noise and demand, she remained clear, quick, and kind. I appreciated her presence and tipped accordingly. Krachai is more than a meal--it's a quiet unfolding of culture, care, and comfort. I'll definitely return, and next time, I'll ask for my pad see ew spicy. It deserves that extra kick. read more

I made a comment on a facebook post about how my sister and I ate here years ago and the it reminded me of our mother who had a Thai restaurant in the 80s and won best in Phx several years. One of the owners, Kevin, reached out and kindly invited us to come back for dinner on them in honor of her. Kevin treated us as if we were old friends. He introduced his lovely wife and co-owner, Diana, who took a moment out of the kitchen to welcome us. We ordered Larb Gai for an appetizer. So good! I wanted to hog it all and not share with my sister. Tangy lime, salty fish sauce, refreshing mint and cilantro, bite of the onion, a little heat. Nice balance of flavors. I told her it was better than what I make. Kevin recommended Pad Thai. Now, I have never been a big fan of it and hardly ever order it when we go out, especially because most places put too much sugar and it is mushy or saucy. I don't know if they are trying to Americanize it or what. We decided to try it since he said it is made more traditionally. I am happy we did. The tangy tamarind taste wasn't lost in sugar like most places. It had just the right amount of sauce. I like a lot of bean sprouts and could have used a little more- but sometimes they take away from the flavor. I messed up when I ordered Prik Khing with pork. Kevin did recommend chicken, but since our other 2 dishes were chicken, I wanted to switch it up and can't eat beef. I wasn't a huge fan of the pork, but the green beans and the flavor of the sauce were so good. Would definitely try it with chicken next time. Portion sizes were big! Look at all the pork in the pic. Most places would do mostly green beans and a few pieces of meat. We ended up bringing a lot of the Pad Thai and Pad Prik Khing home because we were too full after we practically licked the Larb Gai plate clean. This will make me sound crazy, but their water and ice are so good! I am addicted to chewing ice so it is something that I take notice of. When I said something to Kevin, he said they bought a good filter for water and ice. I could really tell the difference. I don't get to go out to eat much and this is a little far, but plan on trying to bring the husband out next time we are in the area. Thank you for a wonderful meal. read more

Thanks to social media, we found one of the few restaurants open on Christmas Day. Note that they do close between 3 and 4 PM for their lunch. What a sweet restaurant with the nicest people ever. They appreciated the fact that I knew how to say hello and thank you in Thai. They were busy with takeout orders. We ordered #40 & 44 pad see ewe and rad nhar. Pad See Ewe is a wide flat rice noodle with your choice of protein, egg, broccoli & carrots in a house brown sauce. Hubby chose pork as his protein. Rad Nhar is a stir fry flat noodle with choice of protein, broccoli, carrots, and garlic, soybean paste, gravy sauce. I chose chicken as my protein. We both chose the number one spice, which is very little. For those who love spice, you can get a number five, which is the hottest available. As I mentioned, they were super busy. Our meal took a little bit longer, but it was so delicious for both dishes. The food comes out super hot, temperature wise. There is a teaspoon of chili sauce on top of your meal. Distribute it evenly so that your tongue doesn't burn unless that's what you like. Number 44 comes in a light fragrant broth with soy beans and garlic on the bottom of the bowl. It was absolutely delicious. Very fresh vegetables cooked perfectly in both of the meals. Staff checked on us to make sure we liked our meal. A very nice experience. We will be back! Reasonable prices. Seafood is a bit more which is understandable. Shared parking in the huge plaza lot. read more

We came here for the birthday celebration. We ordered a LOT of food, maybe too much. We ordered: 2 Appetizers Combos: 2 egg rolls, 3 potstickers, 3 fried wontons, 3 crab rangoon, and 2 chicken satay - Everything is very GOOD. Tom Yum Soup: Chicken in hot and sour broth flavored with lemongrass, mushrooms, tomatoes, green onion, chill and lime juice topped with cilantro - SPICY but very tasty. Chicken Pad Thai - Stir-fried rice noodles with chicken, egg, bean sprouts, and green onions in house pad thai sauce with crushed peanuts. This was on point, loved it. Yellow Curry with Chicken - Chicken with onions, potatoes, and carrots in yellow curry paste and coconut milk. A little spicy for me, but I am WEAK sauce. I loved the smoky and nutty flavors from the curry sauce. Krachai Pineapple Fried Rice - Rice seasoned with turmeric powder stir fried with chicken, shrimp, egg, onion, pineapple, cashew nuts, and scallions. This dish is fantastic. All the aromas, the crunch of cashew nuts, the sweetness of pineapple, and a that earthy flavor all stir fried. Mango Curry with Beef - Beef with mango, onions, and potatoes in yellow paste and coconut milk. This was very interesting. The chucks of soft sweet mango and the earthy curry threw me off, but it was very tasty. Thai BBQ Chicken - Half chicken marinated buty it more like a fried chicken not BBQ chicken. See picture. It tasted like chicken. The prices are reasonable, the service is amazing, and the food is delicious. read more

Ordered Uber eats from here a couple days ago. Was ready fast! I got the pad see ewe with double tofu. I forgot to ask for no egg, but it was pretty easy to separate out the egg so not a big deal! The meal was not great though, like I got medium spice and I'd say the spice level was accurate but just didn't have much flavor outside of it being a bit spicy. The carrots didn't look particularly fresh. The tofu was just ok, and the noodles were kinda stuck together in clumps. Usually Thai food tends to travel pretty well which is why I ordered it, but this didn't seem to. Overall it was not terrible, just not as good as some other local Thai spots! read more

Krachai Thai Kitchen - 40. Pad See Ewe Noodles - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Some of the best thai food I've ever had. All their curries are amazing. The spice levels are very good and consistent.

Was not impressed by the spices they use in the food tasted very average something you can make at home and pricey

Honestly, I wouldn't come back. Ive tasted much better curry and papaya salads. All of their plates that we orded were very small portions compared to other places we have gone to. They used cabbage as a filler in the papaya salad to make it look like a bigger portion. We ordered a steak plate also and it wasnt hot. Its ok in flavor but not the best. The yellow curry had ok flavor but hardly had any chicken. Sucks to leave a review like this but hopefully it can be taken as constructive criticism. read more

I really enjoy this place and I can't wait to go there next weekend The food is always amazing

Solid takeout experience. Tom kha gai could have used a bit more vegetable. Massaman was on point. Would recommend being a bit more aggressive on spice level. I ordered medium and I definitely could have done spicier, but it's subjective of course. read more

Very good service. Had a variety of the soups tom kha and tom yum that were delicious. My wife loves their orange chicken.

Stopped in for lunch after searching for Thai restaurants nearby. I was the only one in the place at the time. The soup that came with the lunch was served tepid, and was merely broth with a few inexpensive vegetables (cabbage, canned peas, etc.). I had to ask for the soup to be re-heated. The "egg roll" that came with the lunch was actually a vegetable spring roll, mostly filled with cabbage, and the contents were very mushy. The two wontons served with the lunch were cold and seemingly stale. The sweet and sour sauce was very runny and not very flavorful. No hot mustard was offered, nor was there any chili oil or paste to be seen. My main course was panang curry chicken. The waitress, although nice, never bothered to ask about a desired spice level and, unfortunately, I didn't think to ask her about it. It was resultantly prepared at a level that was very mild (not very spicy) and I would have liked it prepared much spicier. The dish was served with a minimal amount of chicken and the sauce was runny, but the taste was okay. I've had much better elsewhere. Overall, the food was just okay. . .but I would not return when there are so many better options around Phoenix. read more

I'm a fan. Happen to be in the area and glanced at the Yelp page to see the reviews. I was sold. Came around 4:30pm which they were busy with to go orders and a well seated amount of patrons. A popular spot for first responders as well. The service was quick considering there were only two servers. The price point was extremely reasonable. My Spicy Thai Basil without the green beans (3) spicy was soooooo good. I can handle spicy but their level (3) was HOT. I ate my whole plate. The jasmine rice was pretty tasty. I can tell the food is cooked to order. I will try this place again if I'm in the area. read more

I love coming to this place, I came with my parents and we love it here! Our go to for the appetizer is the pineapple fried rice and it is so amazing! I got the sweet and sour chicken with Thai tea and both were so good all of the ingredients went so well together and the sweet and sour sauce was made just right! The service was great as well, our server was very nice and did everything in a timely manner and was very attentive. The ambiance was very nice and cozy as well. I love the decorations that they have as well. read more

We were really craving Thai food. Based off the reviews, we decided to try it out. We ordered spring rolls and they came out warm and oddly perfectly rolled. We are 95% sure they were boxed spring rolls and warmed up. We also ordered the shrimp pad Thai, and the portion was extremely tiny for $26! It was overly saucy, and I could barely eat it. The chicken panang had more of a soup consistency versus a curry. Extremely disappointed, especially for the price we paid. read more

The shrimp pad Thai was SO good! However, for 24 dollars and some change, for only 5 shrimps was over priced for me. They have the shrimp pad Thai available 11am-3pm M-F for $15 which is much more reasonable and very worth it. Food was nice and warm and fresh, friendly staff. I highly recommend! read more

a friend recommended the place why I was in town. They have wonderful service and great curry

Stumbled into this restaurant when our running errands. Amazing fresh food with a perfect spice level. Super quick service not being rushed. We had the green curry with chicken and the chicken pad thai. Both tasted amazing and we ate the whole portion. Super clean restaurant with lots of distance between the guests. We will come back when we are on this side of town. read more

My favorite Thai spot (Siamese Kitchen) was closed due to family emergency, so a friend chose Krachai as our backup dinner spot! Super cute and clean, brightly lit, and has lots of parking! The staff is attentive as well. There were customers coming in and out picking up orders the entire time we were there. Now to the food... we both ordered shrimp pad Thai and shared orders of fried tofu and veggie spring rolls. As I mentioned, my comparison is with Siamese Kitchen. The prices are definitely more expensive here and the portions are smaller! I had to send back the veggie spring rolls because they were not hot but when I cut into them! So I immediately told the server and a new order was brought out! They were piping this time! I wouldn't order these again though! The pad thai had a delicious taste but definitely not worth the price. I'm happy that I got a chance to hang out with my friend, but if asked to go here again, sadly, I would pass. read more

I wanted to love this place so much, but it seemed like it fought me and wouldn't allow it. 1 waitress to do the ordering, and bussing. 1 cup of water will all you will see. I noticed, when I used the restroom, she was watching some movies just out of sight. So, thats why I didn't get any refills. The Tom Kha soup was decent, but probably the sweetest i ever tasted. To sweet for me to order again. Panang was good flavor, but pretty runny, without the smooth creamy sauce that I've come to love. Ill try this place again...but I need time to recover from this initial let down. read more

I usually do not leave reviews but I appreciate the extra effort that this place gave my family so we could have a nice dinner. My child is autistic and Sometime can be a handful. My waitress saw that i was struggling keeping my kid entertained so she brought us a coloring book and crayons. That small gesture was everything in that moment. And made the difference of my kid having a melt down or not. The food was also delicious. I loved the curry. Reminds me of my aunt when she used to cook for my brother and i.
