I was craving my usual crave..Thai. I wanted to go to a different place than the usuals so I came here to pick and choose! This looked like a great place, good reviews and the pictures looked inviting. So off we went in search of Krua Khun Yah. Found it! Was a little weird with my GPS but we did get to the right place and I was starving!! The colors were very pretty and it was of modern style. Staff was peppy and helpful. The layout was different for a store front restaurant so it made it seem like it wasn't a store front restaurant. Does that make sense? Once again, I saw Pad Thai on the menu and just couldn't resist. It was one of the best Pad Thai I've had! Sticky Rice was just perfect and just sticky enough! Drinks were delicious and umm..strong!! Exactly what I needed on a Friday night. I so wish this restaurant was closer. Well..maybe not! I would embarrass myself and be here every weekend! read more

1. The food is pretty great. For an appetizer, we had a crispy calamari. For our entrees, I had the crispy pad thai and my wife had the regular pad thai with a couple peppers added. As with our previous visits her, the food is always top notch. 2. For those who haven't visited Krua Khun Yah, the restaurant is pretty clean and neat. 3. Service stinks. Tonight there was one waitress, one food server and one busboy. The waitress did double-duty as the bartender as well. And bad service wasn't just tonight but every time I've been there. And it's not just bad service but there's an attitude that can only be described as cold. No hellos, no "what can I get you", but I did get the look that says, "well?" Even eye contact with the waitress so I could place my order was impossible. I did however get a smile and a good night as we were leaving. So they were happy to see us go. So if its pretty decent Thai food (excellent actually), this is the place. But if you're the type who needs human warmth and kindness (or just normal common courtesy), you won't find it here. read more

I ordered food tonight off the allmenus.com site and I thought the price ($13) was reasonable. When I arrived to pick up the food I was told the real price was $19 and when I showed the website I had used, I was told that only the prices on their own website was correct. When I asked for the website, I was told that they don't have one... When I got home the container of plum sauce was barely half full, about 2 teaspoons worth, and the pad thai flavorless and for some reason sour There was literally no one in the restaurant when I was there and now I know why. I doubt they'll be in business in 6 months read more

Want some healthy MSG free Thai food? Head to Grandma's Kitchen (Krua Khun Yah) in Ashland. The decor is somewhat kitchy but in an upscale modern way. The tropical orange and yellows don't mix to well with the turquoise or dark blues, but that could just be my Western sense of style or lack thereof. It's a newer building in a strip mall on route 126 and the space is clean and inviting. Most of the menu items are familiar but prepared with ultra fresh ingredients. They mix the vegetables up from dish to dish and avoid the "same three veggies" in every dish syndrome. My first impression was that the Tom Yum soup was flavorful and spicy without red chili oil staining the bowl. There was just a dash or the red stuff. The soup base was sublime while somewhat more sour (lemongrassy-ness) and the heat is provided by Thai green and yellow chillies, which they strain out, mostly. The curries run hotter than most Thai places in the Commonwealth. Along with the fresh healthy ethos they strive for authentic food, they will tone it down or crank it up according to your wishes (printed on the menu) so just ask. * the pepper ratings are true here, one pepper is pretty spicy, three is off the hook for me. * Very reasonable prices, especially for lunch. * Wild Boar Basil is great. * NO MSG * BYOB * YASMG (#) #Yet Another Strip Mall Gem read more

there is a serious lack of thai restaurants in metro west. krua khun yah may share a strip mall with a supermarket and a dollar store, but the space is nice- spacious and clean with tasteful modern thai decor. the waitstaff is pleasant and accommodating too. apparently krua khun yah means grandma's kitchen. the food that came out of this kitchen was your average americanized thai food. if you're craving thai and have the time, driving into boston will get a much better meal. but if krua khun yah is your only option, as long as you don't have a thai grandmother of your own, this restaurant will probably do. read more

First Thai experience, if you can believe that! Obviously went with the Pad Thai (chicken) which was tasty but 100x better when our server brought my some peanut sauce to try it with. My boyfriend is a big Thai food fan and said it was great! Spring rolls - yum! Crab Rangoon was delicious and the cocktails were pretty good as well. Several types of saki to choose from if that's your thing, as well as Mai Tais and things of that ilk. We had no room to even consider dessert but will definitely be back! read more

Krua Khun Yah - Some of the tastiest Crab Rangoon of my life! - Thai Near Me - Ashland, Massachusetts

Prices are NOT accurate even based on most recent take out menu. They have up charges that are not seen and are quite pricey (20$ for curry). Also website is not updated. So expect to pay more then thought. read more

So surprised to find DELICIOUS Thai food in metrowest, but Krua Khun Yah is so delightfully delicious! Everyone there is super nice, their delivery is mind-bendingly fast (seriously, you hang up and then they're ringing your doorbell with a bag full of tasty noms)! And their lunch special is an amazing deal. They actually come close to making the spicy food SPICY, which is outstanding! Can't say enough about them, they are fantastic. If you're in the area, try them out! read more

I've had take out from here several times in the last few months and it's always been hot, fresh and tasty. I've tried the fresh spring rolls, pad thai, nam sod, ka prao, 2 lovers, and 4 buddies and it's all been excellent. The service can be a little slow but it's because they are busy and focused on quality. If you like Thai food, don't hesitate to check them out. read more

We are regulars and go at least a couple times a month! The Pad Thai is the best around and everything is good, fresh and homemade. Highly recommend! read more

So I was in the area and they were close and thought I would try, about 1:30 pm. A quick review is rood was good, service was mixed. Little slow to bring us forks and even though she had me repeat I that I wanted 2 sodas for me and my brother, I only got one. But food did come quickly. We ordered Tom Yum, Hot Liang and Tom Kah soups. All the soups were good but the first two were supposed to be spicy and were barely hot at all. The Sumai was good. Lunch specials Pra-Kao Beef did live up to its two peppers and more for my daughter. My brother liked his Pad Paradise. My Prik King Cripsy Chicken was good but wish I requested a little spicer. It was a little more than crispy but good anyway. It was a very clean place and nice looking inside. read more

We ordered take-out. Krua Khun Yah is in a strip mall, we were a little hesitant, especially since we saw rims that cost more than the cars they were on on our way to pick the food up. But, the interior of the restaurant was very modern and makes me want to experience a meal in that setting. They are priced moderately. The Pineapple Fried Rice was amazing, the vegetable dumplings were pretty good, the Crab Rangoons were meh at best, and the Shrimp Himmaparn was satisfying but not awe inspiring. This is a solid Thai place. I wouldn't say it's incredible, but I will most likely order from there again. read more

This is a favorite of ours for weekend take-out. There's something for everyone in the family and the prices are what you'd expect for Thai food in a strip mall. Takeout generally consists of the family favorites - Pad Thai, Sticky Rice, Brown Rice (THE best rice (sticky or brown) in Metrowest), Shumai, a Curry (take your pick), and then something extra spicy... whatever I may be in the mood for that evening. I've never been disappointed in the food here. The staff is always friendly and more than happy to help you with the menu and any special orders. read more

I had the worst experience of my life ordering from this restaurant. I called the place for a pick order. Ordered hot and sour and TomYum soup. When we came home everything was TomYum. According to that dumb person who took the order had no clue. The food was yukky. Hated it. I would strongly recommend not to go to this restaurant. Thanks read more

It was just ok. Nothing special. Average Thai restaurant. The decor and upkeep of the facility was sub par and bordering filthy and unattractive. Most likely will not return. Only good thing was that they have cans of coke :-) read more

I had ordered from this place one night not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very good. The inside decor is a little drab but the food was very good. Prices are a little high but the food was flavorful and fresh. We will defiantly order it again. Best Asian in the area. read more

The Boyfriend and I had dinner here recently on a Friday night and while there were only about 6 tables of people in this big restaurant, which is usually a bad sign, every 5 minutes someone picked up a to go order which is a great sign. I had the Shrimp Red Curry which was really good and the fresh green beans and carrots made it even better. The Boyfriend had the Chicken Yellow Curry which was also very good, the pineapple and fresh zucchini really making this dish. He loved the Hot and Sour soup, and I wasn't thrilled with the Chicken Satay because it needed to be charred more and the Peanut Sauce wasn't hot which is what I'm used to. I also had a Thai Iced Coffee which was good and he had the Ginger Iced Tea which The Boyfriend loved. We will definitely be back! read more

A solid 3.5 stars. I was a little hesitant considering the recent yelp comments but I found Krua Khun Yah a tasty dining experience with great service. We went on a Friday night and it was not too busy. We were seated right away and our waitress was very attentive. I had the Pad Kee Mao which are pan-fried flat rice noodles with broccoli, tomatoes, carrot, peppers, onions and basil leaves. The portion was large and the noodles were fresh and delicious. We also had some tasty spring rolls. After dinner, we sat and chatted for an hour or so and the staff did not try push us out or rush the check. I would not go out of my way to go here but if I was in the neighborhood, I would definitely stop in. read more

As you have probably noticed there are not a lot of Thai places around here. The mere fact they exists merits 3 stars. Decor is good. Food is ok. They wouldn't have survived with this quality in Boston. But hey this ain't Boston !! read more

Recently went here for a pick up order. The entire chicken Pad Thai dish was dry, over-cooked/tasted microwaved, did not have enough peanuts, and had no peanut sauce to moisten it. The good news: their Hot Basil Fried Rice is the best! I so forgive them. The Spring Rolls are always great. The sweet sauce they serve with it is perfect. The fried Gyoza Pork dumplings are small but excellent. Seems odd to me that such a wonderful Thai food restaurant would have mediocre pad Thai. I don't care! I'm coming back! read more

I can only speak of the pick up service/food since that's all I've ever done. I usually order the Chicken Pad Thai and the Chicken House Fried Rice to go. The phone call when ordering, is usually short and sweet. The food has never taken more than 10-15 minutes between ordering and pick up time. The food itself? Always cooked perfectly, and tastes better every time I have it. Not too pricey. And the dish sizes are enough to split between two people/two servings. I would give it 5 stars, but I've never been inside to sit and eat. But they do have a Buffet on the weekends I hear? So I'll have to check that out and possibly update my review. read more

Came here for a late lunch today with my mother, the food, along with the service is excellent. I am quite picky eater, the waitress taking my order listened and got me the food according to my specifications. Definitely coming back here. read more

I agree with other reviewers about the service. There were several times throughout the meal that we all had empty water glasses, and with only 2 other tables in the restaurant, there's no reason for them not to keep on top of something as simple as that. With that being said, the food is the star here. Located in a strip mall, there's not a lot of ambiance, so if the food isn't good, I can't see why anyone would come here, but it is, it really is. I ordered chicken pad thai and my friends got the crispy basil chicken and mango curry. All of the dishes were so yummy, and one of my friends said that there are very few places that even serve mango curry. My favorite of all our entrees was definitely the crispy basil chicken. Great flavor with a little of a kick. I do think it is odd that they tack on a rice charge. It made it so that my pad thai was over 7 dollars less expensive than the meals my friends got read more

Food is good but the service during peak hours is a little bad. Ordered on Christmas eve and waited like 2 hrs.

This is the best place I have ever eaten. A strange boy with no sleeves delivered my food, but he was extremely attentive and quick. The pad Thai has the perfect ratio of noodle to peanut, and overall the food is amazing read more

Very rude service...... tried calling in and they were disrespectful and rude.... and sounded annoyed as I was trying to order. After I finally got my order in and went to go pick it up, I waited a hour to finally receive my food which they said would take 15 minutes. Not to mention they were also rude in person when I asked if my order was ready 30 minutes after I was there and in that hour I was there I was the only customer there, which I didn't understand why it took a hour for me to finally receive my order. The food was alright but it was definitely not worth going through all of that for. Disappointed from my experience and I would definitely not recommend going here, unless you like being treated awfully and with disrespect for somewhat decent Thai food. read more

I ordered salmon, duck and pad thai, by delivery. On the plus side, it came 1/2 hour sooner than promised, so that was a pleasant surprise. But the food itself was rather bland and meager. I got a duck dinner, salmon, pad thai and an appetizer. The dinners do not come with rice, so you do need to order carbs if you want them. The pad thai was a mixed seafood pad thai, and the imitation crab meat was spoiled. The salmon was very good, but meager, as was the duck. These 4 items came to $68 plus tip. Which, given the portions, was very pricey. (I think it was $19 for each of the dinners (duck and salmon), pad thai with seafood was $14, and the appetizer was $6, I think) These dinners did not contain more than 600 calories each. Each entrée was accompanied by steamed carrots and broccoli. There was no seasoning. It was late on a Sunday, I did not want to have to start making dinner, and couldn't get thru to my usual pizza delivery place. So I decided to try Asian delivery instead. It was more than twice what I would have paid for a lot more food from the local pizza delivery place. Lesson learned. read more

Don't waste your time on their buffet!! It's their latest try at getting more business, but it falls far from acceptable! Very obviously garbage that they couldn't sell over the weekend! Ordering from their menu is never a disappointment!! Some of the best Thai food I've ever had! read more

I ordered home delivery through yelp at around 2.45pm. I saw that the order was received by the restaurant. Estimated wait time was 1 to 1.5 hrs which was 3.48 pm to 4.08 pm. Usually it's the later. So I waited for 1.5 hours. After that I called the support number and they contacted the restaurant. The restaurant said they did receive the order but can process it only after 5pm. My question is, if that's the case they would have rejected the order or should mention that they take order from this time onwards. I had to wait hungry for almost 1.5 hours to know that no food is coming and I have to do some other arrangements. I have been using yelp for ordering food from a long time. This is the first time this happened to me. read more

I enjoy their ramen. I like that you cannot make customizations, keeps the integrity of the dish. It holds true to the other ramen shops when I travel. Easy to order online and is always ready and hot. read more

Happy to have found this delicious, unexpectedly authentic Thai restaurant in a quiet strip mall in Ashland. The service is friendly and prompt, and the menu long. We've tried many of the appetizers, from Shrimp in Blanket, Thai Spring Rolls, Thai Dumplings, Crispy Tofu, and yummy Wonton soup. I especially like the simple Garlic Pork and there are plenty of options for my vegan hubby, who loves the Sriracha Vegetables and Veggie Pad Thai (alas, ordered with no egg). Full bar and ample parking. read more

It's a 3 star for the food, which is pretty good but nothing particularly incredible, but I bumped it to 4 stars for the service and atmosphere. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, and I just love the interior of the place. Price is pretty standard. Overall, I'd definitely eat here regularly without thinking twice about it, read more

I personally love this place. I go here usually once a week or order from here. This restaurant is really good with allergies so if you tell them that you have an allergy they will take it into mind and tell the chef multiple times. I personally prefer the Red Curry Chicken and the white rice. This place has incredible food knowing that because I'm a very picky eater and I love almost everything here. Employees are super nice and respectful as possible usually. read more

Great for takeout during covid as their food travels well. My recommendations are pad thai, pad see ewe, or any of their curries. Very nice, hardworking people too who deserves our support. read more

The food here is great and the people that work at the restaurant are always very nice. Definitely a great place for some great thai takeout! Be sure to try the basil chicken because it is fantastic! read more

I've never eaten in Krua Khun Yah, but it's a regular takeout spot. You can't go wrong with this place if you're in the mood for Thai - everything I've had on the menu has been great and their spice scale is on point (the 4 hits the spot). Prices are good and the food comes out quick. Love it. read more

Great place for Thai takeout during COVID. Their lunch menu in particular is extensive and very fairly priced. The food is well prepared and abundant. For Asians, the quality of the rice is where you can tell whether a restaurant is cutting corners or not. The rice served is of very good quality --- so important for enjoying a good meal! Kudos for keeping up standards even during difficult times! Ordering on line through their web site is very convenient. They will even bring the order for curbside pick-up if you call them when you arrive outside the restaurant. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for many years, mostly because it is very conveniently located near where I live and the food is generally pretty good. The lunch menu in particular is excellent. Definitely one of the local Ashland businesses worth supporting during these difficult times. read more

AWESOME FOOD! Boring no-personality staff....especially the bartender! Highly recommend fried chicken Basil pad Thai and tofu massaman curry! Lychee martinis are awesome too! read more

Really yummy authentic Thai food, nothing like Americanized Asian food chock full of MSG. Wether you order take out or dine in, you'll not be disappointed. The interior is very beautiful and the staff is very pleasant. It might be a litttle interesting communicating with the waitress(es) who are a little hard understand but somehow, they never screw up. They're extremely pleasant ladies who either thoroughly enjoy their jobs or are totally stoked about life. And the prices won't hurt your pockets so that's a huge plus. read more
