Amazing service!!!! They were quick and super polite. The pad Thai was amazing as well!

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. read more

Krua Thai - Pad See Eew and Thai Tea - Thai Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I placed my order a day in advance specifically to give the staff enough time to prepare it. When I arrived at the scheduled pickup time, I was told they weren't even aware that my order had been placed. They couldn't find my ticket, despite it being clearly visible on their order board, which made it seem like the order had simply been overlooked. To make matters worse, after the confusion was sorted out, I was asked to wait while they prepared the order. Unfortunately, I had scheduled the pickup time for a reason and did not have extra time to spare. The entire experience was frustrating and disappointing. Advance orders should be organized and ready at the agreed-upon time, especially when customers make the effort to plan ahead. Based on this experience, I will not be using this service again. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Krua Thai - Yellow Curry - Thai Near Me - Chula Vista, California

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. read more

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. read more

The food is always so tasty it is a bit greasy but maybe thats what makes it good the portions could be a bit larger for the price but the taste is undeniably good and their thai tea is made to perfection, i gave it a 4 star just because I ordered for delivery and they didn't provide me with utensils while I was I work they dont provide us with utensils so figuring out how eat noodles without chopsticks or a fork was challenging but other than that great food. read more

This proverbial hole in a wall has become our go to Thai place in 2024. First it is way closer than going to Convoy or Hillcrest for our usual Thai fixes. Second the food has been worth multiple return trips. We have our favorites. Drunken Noodles. Pad see ew. Mock Duck Larb. Krua Thail does them exceptionally well. All bursting with flavor and well portioned for price. Another bonus is they serve E-sarn sausage which a few of our favorites stopped selling for whatever reason and we do love that dish. We have always done take out. We are always welcomed warmly and have never had issues with our orders. There are like three tables inside and the parking lot is small sharing spots (we usually park on the street. Not fancy but the food is worth it! read more

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 :) read more

Phoned in an order chicken satay and brown rice. I was only on a 30 min lunch break and went i arrived to pick up order, i was informed that they don't have it. The lady was very apologetic however i didn't help that he didn't call me back. I asked what was something that was easy to make and she said fried rice. I specifically asked if they make it with soy sauce and she said no so i ordered it. I got back to work and lo and behold they put soy sauce in it like at chines restaurants. Needless to say, i couldn't eat it read more

Welcoming place and quick service! Really nice people!! I got the Tom Ka soup and the dumplings and they were sooo good! Will be going back. read more

I just received this order from grub hub. Based on the results I was looking forward to trying Krua but never again. This yellow, aged broccoli is not suitable to be served to customers. I've never seen anything like this in a restaurant before. I'm super disappointed. The peanut sauce was good but I'm questioning the freshness overall now. I'm hungry so I'm taking a risk read more

I ordered take out. Pad Thai noodles, Panang curry, gyoza, and coconut shrimp all were wonderful. I like my Panang a little thicker,but the flavor was really good. Made rice the next day to mix with the extra sauce. Hmmmm. Order was ready when I got there, everything was hot. I'll be coming back for my Thai fix. read more

Love this little gem. Food is always great, i love theor yellow curry. Check them out!

We found this little gem while we were staying in Chula Vista for a little getaway. We ordered the chicken satay and it didn't disappoint. The seasoning on the chicken is delicious and a great dish to share with the table. The drunken noodles are a flavor burst in your mouth. There is a good amount of chicken in the dish. We ordered the Khoasoi which is very filling and flavorful. The service here was awesome! The food here is authentic. Would come back again and again read more

This place has amazing and delicious homestyle Thai food! The yellow curry and the eggplant dishes were our favorites. They are also very kind and have great service. read more

Krua is our go to Thai food in the Southbay. Seriously, their flavor and authenticity can't be beat. We've been happy customers for years. We love their noodle dishes like Pad Sew Ew and Pad Thai. They have amazing curries too. Our favorites are yellow, red, green and pineapple curry. My personal favorite is the Tom Kha. Krua reminds me exactly of the food we experienced in the markets during our travels in Thailand. A must. read more

The curry chicken was prepared quickly and was delicious. Parking is a little tricky.

Update! My husband and I have returned several time to Krua Thai, and have enjoyed it every time! Our latest adventure brought us a pineapple fried rice, and it was delicious! The takeout box was larger than usual too; definitely a plus. They're still only takeout, but that is not really an issue. The food is always delicious, and prepared in good time as well! read more

We ordered for pick up on Uber Eats at the time, however, they told us they weren't getting any orders from anyone so customers had to wait that day. I wanted to try their Crab Noodles and it was just okay. Similar to pad thai, the texture of the noodles were chewy and nice, however, we felt like there were too many bean sprouts and there wasn't anything to accompany it like limes. We also tried their E-San sausage and it was good, but not something I would re-order. Their Thai tea was my favorite and I would come back for it! Although the experience was a bit of a hiccup, I think their food was flavorful yet simple and still worth trying! read more

Their food is amazing!! It taste like your auntie made it specially for you.. very home made like. Freshly made to order. Mango and stinky rice to die for, drunken noodles ahead on point... I could eat this every week... I never take pictures of my food because I'm shady ready to devour it. read more

The food was amazing. It was our first time here and the daughter and mom were so welcoming. Filled us up and prices were also great. We are for sure coming back. Got us a new spot. Thank you so much. read more

The food was good and the price was decent for SD standards but I would go back to this place. We ordered 2 of each of the following: beef panang, beef green curry, pad thai , pad see ew, Tom kha Kai and calamari. They were all delicious and satisfied all the craving. Place is a hole in the wall so we took the order to go. The owner was really great serving us last hour before they closed. He was very helpful. read more

First time trying this Thai place. The shrimp pad see eew was pretty good. I got the Thai iced tea and it was gone by the time I got home. Looks like they do take out only. Currently taking only card no cash. The service/ambiance was good for take out. They're known for their curry and noodles. read more

I will definitely be coming back here. Both the food and drinks were delicious and made with quality ingredients. We ordered the mango tango chicken and pineapple fried rice and they were both amazing. The mango in the chicken dish was fresh and combined with the dish very well. The pineapple fried rice was also built to perfection. I also ordered the passion fruit iced tea which was sweetened with real honey. The guy who helped us during our visit was super kind, we even witnessed him being very compassionate to a homeless man walking by the store. I struggle with cynicism sometimes so it was really nice to see. Some details about restaurant itself that might be important to consider for some: it is a very small restaurant and doesn't appear to be able to accommodate large parties. It also gets pretty warm as they didn't have their AC on while we were there. read more
