This is a very clean restaurant with very welcoming service and hospitality. The food is really good with flavors very much authentic to Thailand. Their noodles are consistently fresh as well! Definitely a great local restaurant in Harbor City to try. They did the Duck Curry really well too. The plaza usually has ample free parking.
Don't let the area discourage you from trying this place. The quality of the food and service belong in a different tier. The inside is really nice, with nice background music, and the food is super tasty. We came on a Friday night and the place quickly filled up. The food took a little bit to arrive but the wait was worth it and the prices were very reasonable. It was our first time here but we'll be back for sure.
Tried Krata for the first time! Located in a strip mall, there's plenty of parking. The restaurant is nice and clean. We ordered 2 lunch specials: yellow curry with chicken and Hot basil ground chicken. And a Khoa Soi noodle. The lunch specials came with a nice spring salad and light crispy eggrolls. The chicken in both the curry and Khoa soi were exceptionally tender. We loved our food and the service and are looking forward to coming back to try more items.
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.
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.
Our food at Krata tonight was awesome. Each of our Thai dishes was delicious, the restaurant very inviting and our server Yoko was perfect: informed; attentive; engaging; & delightful. The restaurant is new, sparkling, comfortable and inviting. We will go back soon. The location had excellent parking and was perfect for our set of beach city's residents to meet up in Harbor City.
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.
We had a great experience at Krata Thai. The food was absolutely delicious and felt very authentic. The tom yum really captured the flavor I remembered from my time in Thailand -- rich, flavorful, and comforting. The crab fried rice was excellent, with real crab meat and great taste in every bite. We also ordered the seafood curry, which was very tasty and packed with flavor. The ambiance is cozy and relaxing, and the staff were all very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. I highly encourage everyone to visit this place if you are looking for authentic Thai food and a wonderful dining experience.

Best Papaya Salad I've had in the South Bay Area and definitely top 3 in the whole SoCal! And it's definitely in the fermented sauce that they use. Papaya Salad has all the needed elements, even the salted crab that only true Thai/Lao restaurant offers. My mom loves the duck curry! The duck was perfectly cooked and the curry was just so creamy without being heavy. I also love their plating, it is definitely high-end rather than your regular neighborhood restaurant. We will definitely be coming back! Did I mention that their thai tea is so goood as well? read more

Wow! What a warm and wonderful place to have an intimate dinner. The server was very kind and attentive, she also gave us wonderful recommendations. We shared all our dishes... Papaya Salad, Eggrolls, Duck Curry, Thai Rice and Chicken Chow Mein. Each dish was made with care and came out staggered which was excellent, because it gave us time to really let the flavorsn melt in our mouths. My favorite dish was the duck curry it had basil, pineapple and lychee, which was superb. read more

It used to be called "Smile," but the name has changed, and they've renovated the interior. They also upgraded the tableware to more high-end products, which really enhances the overall experience. The food tastes excellent as well. This is definitely a restaurant worth coming back to try other dishes. Highly recommended! read more

We went in for a Tuesday lunch. Ordered the fire basil lunch special and the chef's special, which was beef tongue today. The food was very flavorful with a good amount of heat. The Thai tea paired very well with the meal. The customer service was also great, very attentive and friendly. Will be coming back to try different chef's special as well as everything else on the lunch special menu:) read more

We tried Krata Thai Food for the first time and enjoyed it. We ordered the crispy squid legs, Chang Mai chicken wings, Tom Yum soup, yellow curry, and pad see ew. Everything was delicious!

Best Thai Duck Curry I've ever had - duck was not dry or drowning in sauce. Just the perfect ratio of protein and sauce. It also had lychee! Feeling adventurous? Ask for their Chef's Special for the day and allow yourself to be surprised. Will definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Came here with my bf for the second time, and I gotta say, I'm glad I found this place. Service is amazing everything was well explained. A big bonus for me is that you can choose the spice level of your curry, so mild and spicy lovers can both enjoy! The best thing I've had so far here is the shrimp paste fried rice (though all the food I have ordered here has been good), bf finished his whole plate! A rare thing. I love me their desserts, both the roti and the mango sticky rice (my fave Thai dessert of all time!) are great all in all, it was perfect. 10/10 I will be coming here again read more

Amazing fresh Thai food that you should not miss if you're in the area. So glad we found this place. We met the chef and the owner and told him we wanted Thai spicy green curry and he delivered. Every bite tasted of fresh lemongrass and amazing flavors. The waitress was very pleasant as well. The wall art is so nice and they were playing very pleasant music. Restrooms are clean. read more

New spot for delicious Thai food! Great variety of soups, spicy salads, special noodles, curries, fried rice, and more. Ordered the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) ($18.95) and Hot Basil with Chicken ($15.95) and both were so good! We got medium spice level for both, which was on the spicy end (which I loved). If you're not good with spice, I'd suggest trying mild. Also tried and loved their Phuket Thai Tea, which is the stronger of the two Thai Tea variants they have. Definitely going to get this again next time. For dessert, we got the Thai Tea Cheesecake. It was super unique and we could definitely taste the strong tea flavor with the consistency and sweetness of the cheesecake. Service was wonderful! Our server was super nice, answered questions, and checked in with us. Can't wait to visit again soon! read more

Good flavor (Chiang Mai origins) w/ a modern touch. Attentive service & the waitress was very helpful. Pass by this place often & finally decided to try. Corner spot in small strip mall-- not very visible. But the stop was worth it. We ordered medium spicy because spicy was 'Thai spicy' (very hot). Lots of variety & food was very tasty read more

Incredible gem of a restaurant located in the corner of a culture rich shopping plaza! Feng shui would definitely classify this a money corner as I've held many a business meeting here, AND meaningful dinners with mentors and family visiting from out of town.. This place is genuinely special, the team is great, Yoko is an absolute treasure! Impeccable service and great attention to detail! They went so above and beyond today I downloaded YELP just to leave this review. I eat here alone often and have made a new friend every single time. I cannot recommend it enough!! My favorite go to order: Spicy Basil Fried Rice, with chicken, spicy level 4 THANK YOU KRATA!!!! read more
