    Free salad as appetizer
    Noba N.

    My friend had been eyeing this thai place. It seemed a bit more fancier than your typical thai restaurants. Every dish seemed beautifully presented. It's super nice that they gave salad as a free appetizer. We started with eggrolls. It wasn't the typical eggrolls I've had. It seemed like it had some kind of mashed potatoes inside? I don't know why but it tasted more Chinese dish than Thai? They cut it up and made it look super fancy. Personally, I feel like cutting it up in half would just make everything cool down faster, but I guess if it's for the presentation, so be it. It wasn't my favorite, but my friend seemed to enjoy it a lot. My friend got the duck curry and it looked so beautiful! It also came with a lychee, probably to offset the spiciness. Super cool! I got a regular curry with dark meat as option for the chicken. The chicken was super moist. I got a mild curry, but it was still super spicy for me. All in all it was super yummy.

    This restaurant is in a small plaza with a small parking lot. I came here around 8 pm, so wasn't busy and parking was fine. Restaurant itself was also small. It took a while for our food to come out, probably 20-30 minutes. There were a few other groups there and some to-go orders. We had the following: 1. Grilled pork jowl: fatty as expected, but it was good. The sauce on the side was tasty and had some spice to it. 2. Red Chili fried rice with chicken: fried rice was good. The chicken was fried, which I didn't expect. It kind of tasted/reminded me of popcorn chicken. I would have preferred just regular stir-fried chicken. 3. Tom yum soup with chicken: the soup was not as sour or did not have as strong of a lemongrass flavor as I would have liked, but overall the soup was still good. Although the soup itself seemed a bit concentrated. The plating for this restaurant was very nice. It provided an affordable fine-dining type feel that elevated the dishes. Prices were reasonable. Overall, the food was good. I would definitely come back to try some other dishes. Other than the food took some time to come out, service was good and staff was friendly.

    As a Thai American, honestly I would have never guessed that I would find an authentic Thai restaurant in Harbor City. Since the area is prominently non Thai or Asian, I had made assumptions about this Thai spot. I was wrong. I was so crazy wrong. Krata is actually cooking Thai food with authentic flavors. I was impressed! Krata is creative with presentation and introduces new Thai dishes that I never tasted before that my critical Thai mom would approve. Khao Soi with roasted duck breast, presentation was 10/10 along with concentrated curry flavors, both slippery & crunchy egg noodles, mustard greens and it was amazing. One of the best I've had. That roasted duck with crispy skin, yummy! For anyone who has a fitness goal and wants a chicken breast with thai flavors, get their chicken satay. Basically it's sliced grilled chicken breast that's flavorful. If you want something more tender, get the grilled Pork Jowl/Cheeks because that Thai dipping sauce it is paired with is damn spicy but so addictive. I noticed everyone ordered a different type of fried rice. I am so glad that I did. These are not ordinary types of fried rices. You can pick from their classic but have fun flavors like green curry, pineapple, crab, spicy basil but we opted for the red chili paste fried rice with fried shrimp. The presentation was magnificent and the flavors were wow. This spicy red chili thai fried rice with a mountain of fried shrimp. Loved the textures. Eveyone talks about Tom Yum or Tom Kha Soup (coconut), it was first time trying Gaeng RanJuan Beef Soup. Loved it. The flavors are comforting and the beef was tender. It's sour, spicy and great on a rainy day with steamed rice. This restaurant is welcoming. The service is attentive. It's a local restaurant that deserves more love and support. The restaurant is clean and spacious. You can't forget, you must order the roti with curry dipping sauce. So much fun to eat and dip into your curries and soup during your meal.

    Food was AMAZING as usual but service by the new wait staff was terrible. I wanted to order the Garlic & Black Pepper shrimp with shells on (it wasn't available last time, only with no shells) so I asked the waitress, "Is this available today?" She said, "Yes." Then another waiter took our order. When our food came it wasn't what was in the picture. I said, "This isn't what I ordered." He said, "Yes, garlic." I said, "No, the dish I ordered has shells on." Him, "We don't have that. Do you want it?" He's pointing to the dish he brought. I said, "No, I don't want it." He took it away & never asked me if I wanted anything else. In fact he never returned to our table period. I left without eating a main dish. The 3rd waiter who charged my card returned with the receipt & stood just staring at me, like he wanted to see how much of a tip I would leave. I said, "Thanks." (LONG PAUSE). He finally left. When we finally got up to leave (this is a tiny restaurant & only 2 tables were occupied), they said nothing. The other waitstaff who served us before were super friendly & wouldn't have brought us food we didn't order & then tell us we ordered it. I'm hoping when I return for a 4th time things will be better.

    It's so good!!!! My new favorite Thai place! Spicy level was perfect for me (i like my food super spicy) It's located in a shopping plaza with a tacos el goloso, but there is plenty of parking even at dinner time. Service was great! Very attentive and super fast! Ambiance, I'd consider it a cleaner Thai place compared to your hole in the wall but the food is unbeatable! Seriously good was soooo good! They currently have a promo, idk how long it will last but it's BOGO Thai tea. But 100% would come again.

    Quaint restaurant in a strip mall in Harbor City . Love that this is here.. the food was excellent, so full of flavor.. can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu! Staff was so nice and welcoming. They gave a gift to my friend for her birthday .

    Bangkok and phucket thai tea

    TL;DR - my favorite spot for authentic Thai food. BOGO promotion for Thai tea. Spicy minced chicken ball and crispy combination seafood were really good. The aromatic shrimp paste soup with beef stew had a light sour/acidic taste with very tender beef (think beef noodle soup). Grilled fish salad was delicious and NOT fishy. I'd get the fried rice again. There was SO much of it. The Thai tea cheesecake and coconut ice cream was very unique and delicious! This is my favorite spot for authentic Thai food. I've been back twice and see myself becoming a regular. They recently opened in August and specialize in a modern approach to authentic Thai food. The food is delicious and the aesthetics are to the level of fine dining. They have a current BOGO promotion if follow their social media. They have two thai teas you can get with this promotion: Phuket and Bangkok thai tea (both very different in taste but they're delicious) Highlights: The spicy minced chicken ball with northern chili and Thai herb was really good. It was savory and a little spicy if you like the heat. My partner happily finished this plate. Crispy combination seafood. Not spicy, very crunchy, savory and soft on the inside. There was crab inside (not sure if there was something else given the 'combination' in the name). Aromatic shrimp paste soup with beef stew was surprisingly good! It has a fair amount of vegetables inside, a little more on the acidic/sour side that is characteristic of Thai soup. The highlight was how much soft and tender beef was inside. It reminded me of the meat in beef noodle soup. Had left overs for the next day and was happy to eat it for lunch. Grilled fish salad with roasted chili jam. Outstanding dish! The fish was grilled perfectly. It had a beautiful orange/yellow on the exterior. No fishy taste at all. Just a wonderful dish. E-sarn fried rice with crispy tonkatsu. I'd get this again. There was so much rice and tonkatsu that we had to pack it up for the next day. Multiple layers of flavor. No overpowering ingredient. Just well balanced, delicious, and no complaints at all. Thai tea cheese cake with homemade coconut ice cream was very pretty and uniquely flavorful. I had never eaten coconut ice cream before so I didn't know what to expect. Imagine vanilla ice cream with a nice kick of coconut. The Thai tea cheesecake is exactly as you'd imagine it. It was on the dense side with that signature Thai tea taste. It complements VERY well with the ice cream. It elevates the entire experience IMO. The ambiance was nice. Really good place for a family dinner, date, or just to get food by yourself. The staff is incredibly friendly. Highly recommend and will be coming back!

    Authentic Thai restaurant in a cozy and more upscale environment. Good place to sit down and eat. Roti with curry sauce: very flaky but too greasy, had to pat it down with a napkin to soak up the extra oil. Curry sauce was delicious though Tom yum soup: would get this again! Duck curry: beautifully presented, and the curry was very tasty, I liked the addition of whole lychee. The duck was a tad dry I believe we ordered the drunken noodles: this was ok. Noodles were an overcooked so there wasn't enough of a bounce or chew to them. Prices were on the higher side for the portion. Warm service, Def feels like a small family biz, complete with kids helping out.

    One of our favorite Thai places in the South Bay. I love how flavorful and authentic the dishes are here. Like spicy here is how spicy it is in Thailand which is not for the faint of heart. A few of my favorite dishes are the pork jowl, roti with Northern Curry sauce, the Tom yum soup, papaya salad, and glass noodle salad. We haven't had the dishes most ppl think of when they think of Thai food like Pad Thai but I'm sure it's delicious. Service is always great and friendly.

    Khoa Soi
    Bryan S.

    Yum yum yum! Great attentive service. Restaurant felt like a living room. Lunch special was a great deal. Got the Khoa Soi and a green curry lunch special. Really delicious! Khoa soi was good but not quite perfect. Ever so slightly watered down but that was probably cause I asked for tofu in there. The green curry had really nicely cooked eggplant and a big portion of dark meat (by choice). Got fried rice with the curry and was surprised at how good it was! Will definitely try fried rice next time.

    Grilled Pork Jowl

    An Absolute Gem of Thai Fine Dining: Krata The Kreation of Thai Dining is hands-down one of the best Thai dining experiences I've had anywhere. The moment you step in, the elegant decor and warm lighting set the tone for something truly special - it genuinely feels like fine dining, but without any pretension. Every single dish was flawless: - Crispy Combination Seafood - an unbelievable contrast of shatteringly crisp exterior with soft, juicy seafood inside. Easily one of the best bites of the night. - Grilled Pork Jowl marinated with spicy & sour shrimp paste- perfectly chewy texture, incredible depth of flavor, and just the right kick of heat. Still thinking about it days later. - Clear Tom Yum Shrimp- incredibly fragrant, clean, and packed with authentic flavor. One of the most aromatic tom yums I've ever had. - Tom Yum Fried Rice with Crispy Fish paired with Grilled Squid in mild curry sauce - this combo is pure genius. The tangy, smoky rice with crunchy fish bits and the silky, gentle curry coating the tender squid created absolute seafood harmony. - Dessert - Matcha sweet sticky rice with homemade coconut ice cream was the perfect sweet ending. Rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Service was attentive yet relaxed, plating was beautiful, and the entire meal felt thoughtful from start to finish. Easily a 10/10 experience. Krata The Kreation has set a new standard for Thai cuisine in the city. Already planning my next visit!

    I've been coming to this location for the last 15 years or so for Thai food before this new ownership. With that being said, they've surpassed and overachieved expectations with great tasting food, amazing service, and a very clean and elevated environment. Overall very delicious food and a very welcoming and friendly environment. Recommend 10/10!!! Thank you!!!

    We frequented the place quite often when kids were younger and obsessed with their fried rice…read more Since then, the older gentleman who owned the establishment has retired and it changed hands many times. Today we decided to revisit the restaurant for old time's sake. Inside, the main wall was repainted with a new mural. The annual LA Marathon posters, pinned by the staff who participated in the events, were also gone. Nonetheless, it retained its traditional izakaya décor with its counter seating alongside some regular tables. The staff were all new but still very courteous and brought the menu and water right away. New items were added but the core dishes remained the same. For this visit, we ordered our regular items and they arrived in 10 minutes: Eboshi Mini Trio with Shio Ramen, Fried Rice and Gyoza: The fried rice was still top notch, with slightly firm texture, not too oily, and pleasantly seasoned. The Shio Ramen with its clear broth was nicely savory. The thin noodles were cooked perfectly, and the chashu pieces were tender. To complement the set, the gyozas with their delicate wraps had nicely burnt bottoms, and flavorful fillings. Champon Ramen: A complex ramen with an assortment of meat, veggies and seafood. There were sliced pork pieces, shrimps, squids, cabbage, onions, snow peas and many more. The clear broth was quite savory and enriched by oil from sauteed ingredients. The noodles had a very nice texture and were a tad al dente. We were amazed that after all these years, the restaurant retained its original taste and flavor. We found out the reason why while exiting the restaurant: The young cook from two decades ago is now running the open kitchen as head chef. Great food and still reasonable prices. It was totally worth revisiting.

Very rich broth, and plentiful toppings. The chashu was VERY thick. Standard ramen noodles in this one. I opted for the shisen black. Noodles are little different in this one, but still fantastic. It's similar to a higher quality version of Korean ramyun as far as its thickness, and was quite chewy like an egg noodle. Again, thicccc piece of chashu to accompany the bowl. I'm definitely coming back.

The original shisen ramen was pretty good, I did like how it had vegetables in it. I did wish it had meat though (only had tiny pieces of pork). The broth was very light and the noodles were good. If don't prefer a creamy broth you will probably like this. The black shisen ramen was ok, I wish the garlic taste was stronger. The red shisen ramen (level 1) was pretty good but it was spicy (I do not tolerate spice that well) do beware of that! The chasu was also pretty good, it was a little sweet. The miso tonkotsu tsukemen was ok. The noodles were a bit undercooked (in my opinion), and the broth was very rich. The rich miso ramen was (as it is called) very rich. Definitely would need to drink a lot of water if I ate the whole thing. But the broth has a good flavor. It has the same noodles as the tsukemen (so again a little undercooked imo). Our server was super nice, and it is a clean small establishment. Overall not bad, would be down to try again if I am in the area
