ALWAYS. ORDER: the Garlic Basil Eggplant. Always. It is one of those dishes that is SO GOOD, it just never disappoints. The eggplant is tender and so rich and balanced in flavor, it is simply a delight to eat. We chose the Fried Tofu for the Pad See Ew and it was delicious. The Massaman curry came with a bowl of rice, brown or jasmine, as did the eggplant. We were a little concerned that the single bowl would not be enough because we were sharing the dishes family style. But it worked out. We also ordered off the special as well on the recommendation of staff chef Aria: the sausage appetizer and the Wild Mushroom Dumplings -- the presentation was striking and the cameras came out. Ordered the Painkiller which is by far one of the best cocktails on the menu. Side note: sometimes it's not quite blend long enough so chunks of pineapple block straw, but just ask them to blend a little extra so it's smoother. Last but not least: the Warm Spiced Cinnamon Sugar Donuts were delivered as promised warm and soft with a cinnamon sugar that loved every part of your fingers. But it was the quince ginger lemon curd that blew us away. Hands-down. We could not get enough of it. It's like an aphrodisiac and should be bottled and sold. Harmony was our server, and even though the model of service has changed so that you buy the food first and then our seated, during our meal she was attentive and thoughtful. My two guests were two of the most discerning diners I have eaten with and they were very delighted repeatedly expressing appreciation for both the taste and the appearance. It was also very gracious of Master Chef Hardinger to come out and say hello; he received their compliments warmly and they left saying they were excited to bring friends back. As long time Eugene residences I thought that was perhaps among the highest compliments they could give. read more

Gonna start with the critique, because I really love this restaurant overall. But unfortunately, there are dead roaches in the baby changing table, giving me serious pause about the cleanliness of Krob Krua. Everything looks like it's routinely clean but no one ever opens up the changing table. Really, really disgusting. When I have my hands full, it's a serious hassle to wipe down the table myself. See photo. Other than this, I really love the food here. It's delicious, texturally interesting, and they take pride in their food. They also take pride in their service. I have always had kind service from the hosts and kind interactions with the cooks. I hope they learn to take pride in their cleanliness as well. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get Thai food. I always get pad se eww anywhere I get Thai food but I have been tempted to get the Thai pizzas because it is unique to this restaurant. I finally tried the veggie Thai pizza that they had this summer and it was so good! I look forward to trying a new pizza special in the future. Service was friendly and the space is very nice! read more

I ordered takeout from Krob Krua for lunch and tried the Brussel Sprout Fi Dang, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold and really well balanced, with just the right amount of heat. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly and soaked up all of the sauce in the best way. The portion size was also a great surprise. Easily enough for two days of lunch, which makes it an even better value. It's always nice finding a vegetable-forward dish that's this flavorful and satisfying. Definitely a spot I'll be ordering from again! read more

I love a restaurant that clearly labels gf! Decor was nice and bright, service was friendly and prompt, and the food is DELICIOUS which makes the price worth it. Looking forward to returning so I can try some of the drinks described on the menu because they look amazing. read more

Eugene has a lot of delicious Thai food and the food here is some of my favorite. Delicious, beautiful, flavorful food. It is a higher price point than some of the other places. Unfortunately I greatly dislike the dining set up- you have to stand in line then order at the counter then sit down. I find this unpleasant and it detracted from the dining experience. Especially for the higher price would prefer a standard experience. Again- love the food but wish the dining experience was different, will likely be eating at other Thai restaurants. read more

I swear this place gets better every time I go. It makes me so happy to have this level of quality Thai food, and our town. Quite simply, they are crushing it. We went recently and had yummy cocktails, good wine, and lots of excellent food. I highly recommend the Thai lemonade cocktail. We ordered the coconut shrimp, which normally I wouldn't get, but these were pretty darn good. And these pan fried dumplings that were super crispy and filled with pork and shrimp. We got the crispy rice salad, which was mine blowing delicious. One of the specials of the night that was a crispy duck curry. Outstanding! And a pork and noodle dish that was beautifully seasoned. I've also had their green papaya salad before, and it is a generous portion, and very refreshing The service was excellent, and despite how crowded it was, the noise level was perfectly reasonable. So the acoustics are good. This place is great for takeout. read more

Love this spot! Usually go for take out but dined in and had an excellent experience. We ordered the tom kha soup, Brussel sprouts, spicy fried chicken and boba tea (they have vegan varieties which is awesome). We will definitely be back for take out and dining in! read more

My first visit since they relocated from Wildcraft Brewery. This location is so much bigger and spacious--it definitely has a more upscale vibe compared to the brewery. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I love the new location, it's bright and cheerful. The menu is for the most part the same, but they added a Wood-fired section with Thai inspired pizza. They also have seasonal specialties--my personal favorite is their Duck & Pineapple curry. Also new to the menu (for me) is the alcohol/cocktails selection, as well as mocktails for the non-alcohol drinkers. The food was amazing! The braised lamb shank was falling off the bone delicious and mildly spicy, the chicken wing were so crispy (& still tasty as next day leftovers), the duck was tender and curry really flavorful--good portion of duck, the crab fried rice had chunks of crab and was very tasty. The dessert was a recommendation by our server and it was amazing--baked bananas, a hint of sweetness and the ice cream was so refreshing, bite for bite; reminded me of a bananas foster, but this was much better! Our server was very attentive and checked on us periodically. Our visit was a special evening, celebrating my son's 21st birthday, so he comped us dessert. read more

The massaman curry at Krob Krua is probably my all time favorite massaman curry, it is a MUST ORDER!! You get a lot of curry for the price too, definitely enough to share or have leftovers. I love the eggplant also, but wish it was a bit more garlicky. Both dishes are great with the purple sticky rice. Service was good, but I wish that you were able to get seated first before ordering. read more

Off the charts! This food was very delicious! I was excited to get the Sautéed "Garlic Eggplant Basil" dish. I love eggplant when prepared like this. I chose Tofu as my protein and brown rice as the base, and the proportions were very generous as well. Which I was very thrilled about, I wasn't able to eat all of my dinner, but I'm looking forward to lunch tomorrow. I also got their Golden Milk Tea, although it wasn't how I make it at home, it was tasty and had a very nice presentation. I loved the whole ambiance of the place, and the staff were very friendly and efficient. This place is amazing and I can't recommend it enough! read more

I finally got in to try this place and it did not disappoint. I'd say this is best for groups where you can order and share everything. That's how we did it and it was great. The food and drinks were both very good. We got the crispy rice salad as a starter to share and I'd HIGHLY recommend this. We go the Laab Pizza. It was okay - I'm not sure that I would order it again but I'm also glad I tried it. Be careful, it has a kick! We also shared the Ba Mee Moo Dang - very good! Lastly, we got some other stuff off their specials menu, though they were out of some stuff (particularly seafood like the scallops). Either way, this place lived up to the hype. I'd highly recommend and will definitely be going back. read more

My oh My. Krob Krua is some very tasty Thai food! The crab fried rice has big chunks of real crab. The pad Thai is very tasty, but the Pad Ke Mow is outstanding. I travel to Asia regularly and this is in my top 3 anywhere in the world. Service was on point. If you like Thai food and are anywhere close to Eugene, you really need to try this place read more

I so wish to have really liked this Thai food place since I heard good things about it. But it was a rather disappointing meal for us. The vegetable spring rolls were spot on: hot and crispy and a sweet chili dipping sauce. This was the highlight of the meal. The Pad See Yew (wide rice noodles) were ok but we had it with chicken on the side since there was a vegetarian in the group... that chicken was tasteless, rubbery and very unappetizing, even when I stirred it thru my pad See Yew sauce and noodles on my plate. The garlic eggplant Basil was so incredibly bland, no taste of garlic at all. Some pieces of the eggplant were undercooked and too tough to eat, others were snotty overcooked. But the whole dish had absolutely no taste to it. We ordered it mild since "moderate" is supposed to have the spice level of Habaneros, pretty spicy. Too bad that "mild" meant totally flavorless. The decor is nice , front room better than the back room: this back one looks tru a glass door and glass wall to a space with fermentation vats which apparently now is used for storage. Not appealing and so easy to take care of with a curtain or blinds or window-cling. No points for decorating on that part of the restaurant. The entrance is nice and well laid out. Parking for about 20 cars or so and otherwise street parking. Service was good. read more

Krob Krua isn't bad, but I think there are better Thai places in Eugene for the price. I was generally underwhelmed by the flavors here and the portion sizes. Usually at Thai restaurants you can get at least 2 meals from leftovers. Here we had nearly none. In my opinion, you get better flavor and more food at Ta Ra Rin. read more

I have to say that this was the first time that I had visited the location on Pearl Street since they moved from the former Wildcraft Cider location near REI. The thing that I like the most about Krop Kua when they were at the wild Kraft spot was the fact that this was the most authentic pad kra pau I had gotten outside of Thailand. The kra pau was still good but I feel it missed a little of the old essence. All in all, this is still probably the best Thai restaurant in Eugene. Just not sure about the Thai pizzas. That feels like just the need to use the old Laperla pizza oven. Still this is a place to go and try their food. read more

There's more than meets the eye to this place. You'll have to just try the place out for yourself to see what I mean. The entire menu is interesting and something I hope to methodically work my way through. All the options we ordered were very tasty with some subtle, but unique twists from the traditional expectations. The service was top notch and the prices reasonable. Great food, good service, and a unique dining experience. What more could you ask for!?!? read more

The Thai food here is good when you need a Thai fix. The green curry, especially is yummy, Americanized, but yummy. The staff is very attentive and the Tom Kai soup is better here than most places in town. I've been here when the one to five star spice rating is spot on, and I've been here when it was way off and two star burned going in and out. I think it depends on who's in the kitchen that particular day, etc.. The pad, Thai, which is really my go to grading system for Thai food, was a little greasy, and on my to go order the last time they skimped on the peanut sauce. That hasn't been the case when I've eaten in though. A couple of times when we've been there the bathrooms needed some love and attention, and that's kind of a turn off for me for the dining experience. If the bathrooms aren't spotless, I worry about the kitchen... That being said, I've never had any sort of experience with illness or anything else, I just really prefer to see a place with spotless bathrooms and tables that are not sticky I know this seems kind of like a negative review, but understand I'll eat there again if I'm in the neighborhood and I'm craving Thai I'll eat there, but I'm not gonna drive all the way across town for their noodles. read more

Great food, fun and cute atmosphere. Pretty good cocktail options. I always enjoy the curry!

This was our first time here after I heard rave reviews from a coworker. The inside is very nice with a bar and many different seating options.

I'll start by saying my wife and I eat a lot of Thai food in the Seattle/Tacoma area. This is well laid out restaurant that has nice ambience. It was a hot day and despite sitting inside, I was sweating while eating. U order at the hostess desk. I was a bit surprised when I was prompted for an 18% tip when paying given there was no table service. There was a bottle of shareable water on the table that we quickly consumed given the interior temperature. This was not replenished. I ordered chicken Pad Thai which was made with dark chicken meat. I am not a fan of dark meat and have never had Pad Thai prepared with anything but white chicken meat. My wife had chicken satay which was good but she was not a fan of the stickey rice. My son and his girlfriend enjoyed their meals. Not some place my wife and I'd return to when visiting Eugene again. read more

Yummmmm!! We stopped by Saturday night about a half hour before they closed. Our server was super friendly and energetic - loved her. We got pad see ew with ground pork and red curry with chicken. Both were absolutely fantastic! I thought the ground pork option was a bit unique from what I see at most Thai places in terms of meat options. I wish more places had ground pork like Krob Krua. So so tasty!! Definitely grab some Thai at this spot if you are in Eugene and a Thai food fan. You won't regret it!! read more

The food at Krob Krua is fabulous. Truly some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The Crispy Duck special was amazing as was my wife's Pad Thai with shrimp. The nutty flavor of the brown rice enhanced the duck's flavor as well. The Son Tom Salad had a delicious flavor, but for me the textures were hard for me to chew. My wife loved it though. The ambiance was quiet and lightly elegant, and the service was right on point. It was the perfect meal to end our weekend in Eugene. read more

This restaurant is now located at 13th & Pearl, in a building that had been Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor, La Perla Italian restaurant, the Community Fermentation Union (a brew pub), then vacant - all since December 2007. Its latest incarnation: wood-fired-pizza/Thai-food-with-tamarind-sauce and more plus a nostalgic, glassed-in display room On my first visit, I attempted their wood-fired BBQ pork special - strips of some cut of pork with impressive portions of grizzle and fat. Surgical forceps and a scalpel would have been helpful in dissecting out the chewable portions. The table-setting steak knife, however, was very helpful for hacking off portions from a blob of "sticky purple rice". A fork was not up to the task. For a touch of unique ambiance, we were seated next to a glass-walled section of the long-gone Community Fermentation Union. It is now a museum-like display of mothballed brewing kettles, gleaming white PVC piping throughout, dust covered cartons and other trash. And then there was the noise. My iPhone decibel meter was reading 72 to 80 for the entire dinner - levels usually produced by a garbage disposal at work, a police siren or a portable generator. Conversation was possible only when leaning forward and shouting across the table to companions. After giving up on my unchewable entree, I spent a little time watching the kitchen staff at work. Several wore masks. Only a single older woman in view appeared to be from Thailand. She also wore a mask but had placed it well below her lower lip, securely on her chin. As she carried entrees out to a side counter, I wondered if her mask was protecting others from an infectious chin. Obviously her nose and mouth were not risk factors of any concern to her. As a closing note, my companions' entrees were incredibly good. The tofu dish was perfect and the beef massaman was something I could eat four times a week and never get bored - the best I have ever tasted. Kudos to the chef. But I doubt I would return to dine in-site. Just too noisy. read more
