Utilizing the wood burning pizza oven left behind from the former resident of this comfortable restaurant great Thai has been rediscovered and reborn. We loved the roasted half chicken. The traditional thai curry and noodle dishes are all more than one notch above any normal Thai cuisine you have ever had. Add a fantastic full bar (and fantastic bartend) this new spot in Eugene has become instantly one of the most popular in the City. read more

Tried this place for the first time last night. We were a bit confused by the fast food feel of the place. You have to order at the register as you enter. It's a small waiting area and there were people behind us so we sat on a bench to look over the menu. Then you have to pay as you order at the front register and they expect a tip at that time even before you taste the food or get any service other than them running your card! Only after payment and tip, of course you're not obligated to tip, do you actually get to sit down at a table. Personally we like to be seated, order drinks and take a leisurely look at the menu. We both had Pad Thai and I ordered mild + spice and my partner ordered medium. The food was OK, good flavers but medium, we were told, would be Habanero level heat. The food came and mine had no spice at all and my partner's was what I would call mild. We interacted with 2 staff, one to order and one who brought us our food, that was it. No one checked on us during the meal. We won't be going back until their current ordering system is changed. 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

What a delightful treat tonight, with a gorgeous basil & eggplant dish and massamam lamb shank in a rich, peanuty sauce alongside delicious naan from the wood oven. The food was heavenly, the presentation beautiful, and the ambiance laid back but fun. We were prepared for ordering at the counter (with a warm, friendly person), having read other yelp reviews. This didn't bother us at all, as we enjoy having our own space while we dine. I thought someone might come by to check in just once but no one did (we only saw a food runner briefly, as he dropped off our dishes); that might be nice! More importantly, having a stack of "to-go" containers available would be helpful for packing up left-overs. We didn't want to order anything else, but they might make it clear what diners should do if they want to add on another drink or dessert. read more

interesting atmosphere for sure. as you walk in and greeted you also have the chance to order and pay before you sit down. with the ordering and paying out of the way it's up to you to pack up. this experience reminded me of a food truck in the best way possible and during flu season the minimal contact with our server was awesome. would recommend. the pictures of the food speak for themselves #delicious #foodboner read more

This place hit the spot. In town for one night my sister and I chose this for dinner. I had an excellent green curry and a pretty darn good green papaya salad. The person at the front desk was knowledgeable and friendly. The place looked nice but I got take out so experience limited. Would definitely go back. read more

Didn't get to eat. Was excited to try this place and had heard good things about it since I had moved out of town before they opened. Hours say open until 9pm but we arrived at 8:30 PM and we're turned away. I understand that industry standard is to shut down a kitchen 10-15 before official close but 30 minutes is pretty ridiculous. You might as well say you close at 8:30 at that point. At the very least make a note of it on your website so people don't show up thinking they can eat. read more

Disappointed about the change in service. We've dined here a handful of times and always had a great experience. Recently they changed service to order at the front then receive food at table. This is a terrible idea. Everything came out at wonky times...our appetizer came last and the "self order" for drinks at the tables wasn't working. I unfortunately won't be back until this is changed. There are other Thai restaurants in the area with just as good of food with the sit down experience I prefer if I'm going to spend the money dining out. read more

I've been back 3+ years and finally got around to visiting. It was interesting to see what they did with the old Farrell's (where I worked as a kid) and they made a very nice space. The food was tasty and the service good. Nothing to really rave about, but certainly nothing to be negative about! There's a lot of good Thai to choose from in town and this one stands with the best of them read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while now and finally got around to it. Out of all the Thai restaurants in Eugene (I've tried most of them) this one has to be my favorite. The ambiance is lovely, super cute restaurant. They have indoor, outdoor seating, and a bar area. Something to keep in mind is that they don't take reservations. I came on a Thursday night and was able to be seated right away. Everything we ordered was delicious. Pad see ew is a staple for me whenever I get Thai food and theirs is the best I have ever had. They give you a lime to squeeze on top that is the perfect finishing touch. Noodles are perfectly chewy and the broccoli is nice and crunchy. We also got chicken dumplings and an eggplant dish that were great as well. Our server was extremely friendly and accommodating. Felt very welcome. Overall, great vibes and delicious food. Definitely come next time you are craving some Thai food or if you haven't been here yet! read more

Delicious food with a fun twist thanks to the wood fired oven. Everything we had was delicious, and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

The good and the bad- The best part was the service. The servers were wonderful and very doting on us, especially as we had a large group. Even gave us each separate checks, which I'm sure was kind of a hassle. We didn't much care for their digital way of entering the cards separately though. The restaurant is quite noisy and has only hard surfaces, nothing to absorb the sound. So it was hard to hear people without talking loud. There was a very interesting menu with quite a variety, but the food was lacking, to say the least. They did offer brown rice for one of the options which was appreciated. The good part for a vegetarian is, is they do offer one of the protein choices to be "vegetable" And there was indeed a very nice selection of vegetables when I selected that. As for the actual stirfry dish, it was quite oily, way too much oil, which really detracted from the flavor. My friend got the massaman curry, which is his normal order at any Thai restaurant End it was very plain. Mainly just chicken and onions with rice. No potatoes, green beans, carrots, etc.. And not enough spices or heat at all. When I asked for extra spices to add to my dish, it wasn't the usual. I got a small container that looks like white vinegar, and a tiny container of a brown liquid, which was not identified to me. Maybe it was soy sauce? It didn't seem to make it hotter though. And the red powder they said it was very hot. But they had no red sauces, Nothing resembling Siracha sauce. Overall, I would give it a Meh. Except for the servers, who were wonderful. This was my second time going there, as I like to give restaurants a second chance. I won't be giving them a third chance though. read more

Good but not cheap Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups, chicken satay. Good service. Can be loud when there's a crowd.

Nice atmosphere. We were the first customers of the day & ordered only two (02) dishes, yet our food came out AFTER two tables of 3+ ordered after us. Our server Harmony was great & I find zero responsibility on her for our food getting out later than it should have. The green curry muscle broth was phenomenal, but I feel they need to procure a better supplier for "local" muscles, since they were lacking in actual muscle meat. We ordered fried wings & legs for our second plate. Nice crisp on the chicken, but for a Thai-inspired eatery, I was expecting a wet rub on the chicken. There was a small ramekin of dipping sauce, so that helped to add zest to the aspiring deep fried wings & drumsticks. Someone else in a previous review, remarked about the lackluster condition of the male's restroom. After using the facility today, I tend to agree. It was obvious that the closing and/or opening crew ignored cleaning/preparing the restroom for the Sunday business. Might want to mow the parking strip between the curb & sidewalk would be another issue that I noticed. Made the property look a little shabby. They just need to tighten up on the aesthetics of the business primarily. Food & wait staff was on par. I will return again & hope they take my comments to heart. read more

I came in thinking I wouldn't like this place, and incorrectly assuming it was just another sad Eugene Thai spot. I was wrong! I haven't been to Thailand, but I lived in Thai Town in LA for a long time and got to know legit Thai quite well. For Eugene, this place is phenomenal! If you're used to actual heat, make sure to ask for it - they'll provide the fish sauce with bird chili's. The heat level without is pretty low, where I'd consider their medium a Thai Town mild, so keep that in mind! We had the pad kra pow, laab, and tom kha - all were exceptional. Please order sticky rice with your pad kra pow btw! Other than forgetting the tea I ordered, the service was also great. This place is great, and I'd be excited to eat here again. read more

This continues to be my absolute favorite Thai restaurant. The food is outstanding! I like everything I've ordered here.

Best Pad Thai in town. You know why? The ingredients were cooked to perfection. The peanut sauce was spicy but very tasty. I am going do medium next time. The peanut sauce was very delicate as peanut flavor was not overwhelming. The noodles themselves were very satisfying and added an appetizer of crispy spring rolls. That came with a container of light sauce. The ambiance was very bright and attractive. Will definitely try dining in sometime. Oh yes the portions were very generous. See ya. read more

Excellent and friendly service! Was acknowledged and seated quickly. Oh the food. Wow. Food was out to us pretty timely though the place was packed! Will be back for more in the future! read more

I love their food! It's always fresh and tasty. This time I ordered dinner for pickup and was thrilled with the Pad See Yu and the crispy rice salad - which was huge! I ordered the curry puff appetizer too. There was so much food that I had it for three dinners. read more

At first I was concerned walking in it seemed run down. But the food was amazing! Service was a bit slow but they also were short staffed. I'd highly recommend this place if you want delicious Thai! Will come back! read more

I was excited to go to the new brick, and mortar for Krob Krua. I had been seeing their posts on other social media, and had seen other people talk about their food. I have had their food many times before when they were at the cider place, but it has been a long time. We moved, so it was not close by. My family wanted to take me out for Mother's Day, so I chose this spot. I am glad I did. They really chose a great location, even though not close to me. It is beautiful inside. They also kept the wood fire pizza oven, from the previous restaurants. I believe they have Thai pizza on the menu, or were at least talking about it. So please don't quote me. They have a beautiful patio seating available. They were super packed, but got us in right away, and were like a well oiled machine. The presentation of the food was quite impressive, as well as the taste. Which I already knew was going to be, because of the last location. I was a little bummed they didn't still have their lemon grass chicken wings, but they made up for it with the lemon grass chicken. The presentation of that was so pretty, and it came with a purple, or black spicy rice. The other dishes we had were kee mo, and it was one of the best around. Pad kra pow with ground pork, was delicious. And also the green curry. My Son orders his food extra spicy. He loved it. Will definitely be back. I am sorry I didn't get any pics of the inside. I believe they have some posted on their FB page. read more

Great unique Thai food. They have some great things on their menu that you do not usually see. I love the Laab Salad with chicken, and Dungeness crab dumplings. read more

Great service, food, and ambience. Definitely will go again and tell friends. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed.

They will tell you that their spice levels are higher than other restaurants in the area and a medium is "habanero level" spicy. Absolutely NOT true. If they really had the spice levels of an authentic Thai restaurant, they would have a 1-5 or 1-10 scale. I like spicy. For reference, I can eat a bag of hot Cheetos in one sitting but I wasn't in the mood for something that made me sniffle so I went with mild. You would think I told her zero spice whatsoever. I had to add 2 tbsp of sambal, chili powder, AND chili oil to get the flavor I was looking for. In comparison, I get the same dish at a local food truck and ask for mild and I get the sniffles after a full meal. The food was decent. I like the menu and drink offerings. I would absolutely give them another chance. But be warned, unless you think ground pepper is spicy, go with the medium level spice at minimum read more

An excellent Thai restaurant. Each dish was outstanding with its own complexity of flavors. Highly recommended.

I've been here several times. It is my favorite Asian restaurant in Eugene. Every single thing I've tried was amazing! I recently just got the Pad see ew and crispy wings to go and I had to write the review. The medium spicy definitely has a little heat but it's perfectly balanced. Service was always great and it's a clean open kitchen with a wood fire oven. The crispy wings are perfectly cooked. This is one of the places I recommend for friends from out of town. read more

Went here tonight with my family and had a superb meal. Everything was delicious, beautiful and generous. Server treated us very well. Go!

I have never had a bad dish from Krob Krua. Great flavors, interesting options and good cocktails. At the upper end in terms of price, but great quality and the portions are big enough that I always have a second meal to take home. read more

Fave Thai in town and has been for awhile. Love, love love the veggie spring rolls. All the ingredients and such are super fresh.

Best Thai in town, large portions, great atmosphere. Nick is a great host, friendly, fast and attentive. Thank you ladies for all your hard work in the kitchen, it shows in your delicious meals! read more

This place is AMAZING!! Try everything. They are serious with their spicy rating so take it seriously. No ego allowed haha. I had the masaman curry with tofu and it's my new favorite. The curry puffs are a an always. Server was attentive, proactive, friendly, and patient with our larger party. Will definitely be back again and again. read more

Had dinner here with friends, great atmosphere and good service. Tried the curry puffs b/c they were highly recommended, they were good but not very "Thai" flavored, a little full. We also had the crab fried rice (good), sliced steak salad (very good), and the whole fried fish (excellent). Great drinks too. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely delicious, affordable and consistently amazing food. The pad thai is so good! So happy for them to move into a nice spot, they deserve it and I tell everyone they are the best. read more
