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

Krata - Thai Near Me - Harbor City, California

1st time here. We were looking for a new place to eat at tonight & saw this on Yelp. Krata did not disappoint! This is some of the better Thai we've ever eaten! Food was tasty, nice atmosphere & server was great. Also, nice modern serving plates and dishes -- surprise touch. I never noticed Krata before driving on PCH. We'll definitely be back. I can see this becoming our new favorite Thai. read more

Amazing little local spot tucked away in a small strip mall. The food is authentic and unique. Sure, you have the usual Thai curry and drunken noodle crowd pleasers but there are some pretty unique items on the menu you won't find anywhere else. I don't think I've ever seen Phuket Thai tea (more aromatically intense than your typical creamy Bangkok Thai tea). One of my favorites was the Thai tea cheesecake with homemade coconut ice cream. The coconut ice cream had bits of coconut in it, and was light and refreshing, which balanced out the creamy Thai tea cheesecake. That's right--have you ever had Thai tea cheesecake?? I didn't think so. Those who know me know I hate fusion cuisines with a passion...but this is not it. Everything was delicious and unique in a positive way! The food is upscale, but isn't pretentious. This is a local gem. read more

Great food I got the chicken satay! the service was also great the worker was kind! The plants and paintings made the ambiance great! -Andre

Had a wonder lunch at Krata! The restaurant is very nice and clean. The food was delicious with large portions. We will definitely go back.

First time in today and it didn't disappoint! Husband got the chef special which was grilled beef tongue with spicy salad. He RAVED about it. I got the Khao Soi which was tasty!! Perfect umami flavor, chicken was cooked to perfection, and the presentation was beautiful! We got the Phuket Thai tea which had a bold flavor, almost has a chocolate like taste. Tasty and strong tea flavor. The Bangkok Thai tea was delicious and did not taste artificial or batch brewed with your average tea bag. You can actually taste the tea which is up my alley. The service was amazing and everyone is friendly. The ambiance is great...probably one of the more upscale Thai restaurants in the area. Perfect for date nights! Highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

My son and I really enjoyed the Pad Thai and Khao Soi! The food was very fresh and everything was cooked perfectly. We definitely !!! read more

~Thai Fine Dining~ My family has been a fan of this restaurant ever since it was called "Smile Thai"! We always ordered take-out for dinner on special occasions. But after its recent renovation, my brother and I decided to dine-in for the first time to celebrate our birthday with our parents! It was a very memorable experience with excellent food and service! Vibes: The atmosphere is relaxing. It's very clean with soft lighting and cozy music in the background. Food/Drink: We ordered a lot! Everything was plated so nicely and was--most importantly--delicious! They made sure not to put in a lot of spice since I mentioned my low tolerance for it, lol! Also, the Thai iced teas were such a treat! They had the perfect amount of sweetness. Service: The waitress was very kind, friendly, and patient. She consistently checked in on us. She even offered to take our family picture! The Birthday Surprise: After our meal, they gave us complimentary mango sticky rice and a big slice of cake!! Those were such treats. They even played a birthday song and party music for us. So kind of them!! Overall, I recommend KRATA 100%! What a hidden gem it is!! read more

Food was overall very good, we had a large party, and this restaurant is not equipped for large parties. We had even ordered in advance. Food came out quite slowly. Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, which was nice. read more

Decided to give this place a try, we had Tom Kha and Chicken Pad Thai, and their Thai iced tea, presentation was nice but the overall quality and taste blew our minds. When you add, good relaxing jazz and quality service, everything just comes together perfectly. We will definitely be coming back and recommend this cozy and comfortable restaurant to anyone wanting a place for a nice date or to simply wind down. 10/10 read more

One of my top 5 Thai restaurants. Everything made to order. Amazing customer service. Nice, chill, and relaxing ambiance. I got their seafood hot basil stir fry. The hidden fish at the bottom was a nice surprise and made it worth it. Perfectly balanced. I'm a sauce and add more salt kinda girl but I didn't need any of that! Sode of veggies was only $3 and full of veggies. Food presentation and good portion. Thank you! Their broccoli shrimp was also delicious. Will be coming back here again for sure. I hope they never change. read more

What a hidden gem! I have passed by this place so many times on my way home, and finally came in for dinner and oh my goodness, the food is amazing. When you walk in you are immediately greeted and welcomed to sit wherever is available. We ordered the yellow curry, the hot basil chicken, roti with curry, and the papaya salad. We had it spicy and the flavor was sooo perfect! The portions were big and we left with food to go and we left full! The music ambiance was so relaxing after a day of work, we constantly had our water refilled, and our waitress Chanapa was so nice and kind. We will definitely become regulars here after today! read more

The ambiance is pleasant so far, the waiters are very kind and welcoming. When we entered the restaurant we were immediately greeted and the waiters helped us out. I appreciate how considerate the staff were! They were concerned when I ordered peanut sauce because they thought it was for me but it was for my uncle. Satay was tender and delicious! The curry was succulent and reminded me of my mother's cooking. The only concern is that the pad thai took a bit longer than I expected but the food was worth the wait. Flavorful and unique pad thai, I love the chewy noodles. Kindest waiters and perfect meal! Thank you for having me read more

I love this place! It's clean with very nice workers. The food is amazing! Highly recommend giving it a shot.

First time here, came with my mom as we love exploring new restaurants, especially Thai food spots. Found this spot through a Tik Tok video I had seen earlier in the week. The spot isn't large but it's very nice inside, a relaxing ambiance with simple but fancy looking decor. We ordered their papaya salad, Tom Yum seafood soup, and beef pad see ew- all medium spicy. It was all DELICIOUS! We loved it all! Not only was the food amazing but the service from the one man here was great. He even gave us free coconut snacks to help my mom with the spice of her food. lol. All this to say that this won't be our last time here, there is so much more to try. We'll be back for sure :) read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ate came out perfect. The Phuket Thai tea was less sweet with stronger tea flavor. The fried egg rolls were beautifully served. The tom kha gai soup was perfectly prepared (I added mixed vegetables with medium spice level). The presentation of the food and the restaurant's ambiance were amazing. Top notch service as well! I will be back soon. read more

Tum soup was incredibly delicious, very flavorful. Paired it with white rice and a Bangkok Thai tea!

New Thai restaurant that took over Smile Thai. Food is flavorful and great service. I highly recommend the Phuket Thai tea and the Pineapple Fried Rice. Another item to try out is the green curry. It comes with a bowl of rice. You can get it mildly spicy (slight kick) and have a good balance of flavor and texture. read more

Found this restaurant on the hot and new restaurant list and had to come try. I knew the food was going to be good when I sat down to order and I can hear an old lady in the kitchen yelling in thai. They currently have a buy 1 get 1 free Thai iced tea. A Bangkok Thai iced tea that's creamier (probably sweeter) and a Phuket Thai iced tea that has a stronger tea. I got the Phuket tea and it's the best Thai tea I've ever had! The food is very good, authentic, non of that fusion nonsense! Service was also great. Highly recommend ! read more

A hole in the wall restaurant that serves delicious, quality Thai food. Staff were all friendly and quick. My sister and I opted for their Duck Curry, Yellow Curry, Satay Chicken, and Mango Sticky Rice. The Duck Curry was a combination of tender meat paired along with a sweet and savory flavor that surprisingly was completed with the extra spicy kick. Just a heads up, the spice levels are slightly higher than usual so go down a notch. As for, the Yellow Curry, it was just the perfect amount of savoriness and spice. The Satay Chicken was perfectly cooked paired along with a sweet vinegar cucumber side and some kind of sweet bean paste. All of that deliciousness was completed with the Mango Sticky Rice. The sticky rice had a slight saltiness to it, but the mangoes and condensed milk just tied all together. All in all, amazing little spot for some Thai food in the Torrance/Habor area. Recommend! read more
