    Veggie soup of the day
    Tofu D.

    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.

    Pad Prik Khing with pork
    Rissa W.

    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.

    #40 pad see ewe
    HoyMay P.

    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.

    40. Pad See Ewe Noodles
    Ali B.

    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!

    The food is great more than enough if you don't want the extra spicy tell them tastes as good as Thai friends homemade. We will be back

    First time disappointment waitress were off and service was bad elderly lady was serving and she should not. Food was ok but not up to usual

    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.

    **July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated. It was the perfect final meal for our trip, and I'd definitely come back again.

The biggest disappointment was the Arai Kodai menu option, where the kitchen selects the dishes for you. Unfortunately, the selections felt pretty average. We were served Tom Kha Gai (a creamy coconut soup), Kaeng Phet Charindia (a red curry), Papaya Salad, and Scallop Crudo. While everything was well-executed, none of the dishes felt particularly unique or showcased why Lom Wong has such a great reputation. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could find at a good neighborhood Thai restaurant. The other downside was the pacing. Being to Thailand many many times, this is nothing we have experienced. We had barely received our drinks and taken a single sip, when immediately every dish hit the table all at once. Instead of feeling like a curated dining experience, it felt rushed and a bit stressful trying to juggle multiple dishes plus our drink: Karaoke king (which would have been good if I had a second to enjoy it) Overall, it was still a nice meal and great atmosphere on par with other Thai restaurants. My advice: skip the chef's selection and order à la carte. Just be prepared for the food to come out quickly and all at once.

A simple order of pad thai and spring rolls took exactly 42 minutes. After several follow-ups, no one told me the food was ready until I walked up to the counter myself.
