    Yellow Curry
    Jacqueline G.

    This place is AMAZING! i've been here a handful of and every single time the service is great and the food is delicious. I love their yellow curry, wings and druken noodles. They use the bigger shrimp in all of their dishes and it's truly is amazing. My picture honestly does not do it any justice.

    Spicy crab noodle

    The service is so kind and our server was wonderful. A family vibe like you're sitting at someone's kitchen table. Very small and can only seat a couple of parties, I noticed mostly to go orders. Food was delicious. Tom yum, papaya salad, curry, and crab noodles.

    Pad See Eew and Thai Tea

    Krua Thai has the best authentic Thai Food in San Diego! For the past two years, me and my family have been going here whenever the craving hits. The food here tastes delicious, it has that distinct taste that makes you want to come back for more every time. The Thai Tea here is perfect, holding number one for any other Thai Teas I ever had. It's not too sweet or not too watered down with the flavor, it's exactly holds the essence of what the drink is. Despite being a small restaurant, I feel welcomed coming here every time. Pam is my favorite server here and brings a positive attitude to the restaurant. 5 stars, would recommend for anyone wanting Thai cuisine.

    3. Drunken Noodle
    Salman S.

    Was in the neighborhood and craving some Thai food and found this hidden gem on Yelp. Ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp and the dish turned out to be the most tasty plate of drunken noodles I've ever had. The noodles were coated with this tangy spicy sauce that was absolutely delicious and the noodles and shrimp were perfectly cooked as well. Would not hesitate to order this dish again. The shop itself is small, three or four tables but don't let that dissuade you from visiting. There were a lot of take out orders coming in when I was there.

    Seafood Pad Thai
    Chris U.

    Craving for Thai food while we're in the Chula Vista area. Penang Beef Curry - it's rich, creaminess and just medium spicy level as we requested is so good. Al dente veggies which is great. It could had been perfect if the sauce was thicker. 4/5 Shrimp Roll - freshly made vegetables/shrimp with two great choices of sauce. It was delicious. 5/5 Mixed Seafood Pad Thai - great combination of sourness and sweetness; its noodles is great. I wish there's more sauce because any leftover/to-go PadThai absorbs the sauce and becomes little dry. Also, squid is little rubbery/chewy. 3/5 Mango Sticky Rice - love the sweet gooey sticky rice with the coconut sauce but I guess it's not really mango season. The mango is not the type of mango I was expecting or had from other Thai restaurants. 4/5 Great customers service! Would come again and try their different dishes. Few parking in front of restaurant; it's mostly along the street.

    5. Crab Fried Rice

    Delicious! The place is so cute. We usually get their fried rice and fried chicken. Service is great. I would recommend ordering in person.

    First time here and the service was great and friendly. I got the Tom Yum Soup with shrimp, Chicken Spicy Fried Rice and Spicy Crab Noodle the food is tasty and savory will definitely come back again :)

    Old broccoli?? .. Garlic and pepper with tofu.

    Tiny, "hole in the wall", great authentic food. Most of their business is probably take out but they welcomed us in 30 min before closing.

I was in awe of their crab pad Thai which was delicious. It was saucey and balanced sweet and salty. I loved the add tartness from the lime too. Actually what was the star of the menu were the tom yum chicken wings. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The flavor was unique and savory. We were excited to try the Massaman curry. It was a little underwhelming. Tasted like the green curry with brown sauce. I thought it would be more nutty. The ribeye was tight and rubbery. Thought the service was okay. Nothing outstanding. It was unclear whether we ordered at the cashier or by server. We ended up ordering with the server.

The standout items were easily the winter shrimp and half moons. Both were flavorful and well executed. The Pad Thai was tasty, with soft noodles that exceeded expectations, but it was light on the chicken. The same issue showed up with the crab fried rice, which could have used more crab. Flavor wise it was decent, but the added cabbage was not necessary in my opinion. The panang curry was another strong dish in terms of flavor, but the portion to rice ratio was off. It comes with one serving of rice, but you would realistically need a second order to balance the amount of curry. Presentation overall was decent. Nothing particularly impressive, but no major complaints either. Bottom line, this is a solid Thai option in Chula Vista. I'm interested in ordering other menu items to give it a try.
