    Small friendly restaurant. When we carry out the always throw in extra appetizers. #iraeats #uraeats1

    Beef fried rice

    Small business owned by a gentleman and his wife, very friendly and clean place! First time picking up food from here and it's probably the best Thai food I've had in the area! Will definitely pick up from here again since delivery isn't available. (Not on any delivery apps) But worth the drive for flavorful Thai food.

    This place is o our way to a store nearby, we decided to give it a try. It was a great decision. I believe this is not a formal restaurant but more like carry out place with couple of tables.Their food looks and tasted homemade and authentic. The ingredients tasted fresh and light. I would love to go there again in the future and try other dishes as well.

    Green curry with chicken

    We ordered 4 different dishes to try from Krua Thai. Its been years since we last ordered from here. Last time we ordered the lard nar which is what I like from a Thai place however after being reminded of a picture of this dish here we opted for some other items. This time we ordered the: Pad kee mow chicken Pad see ew beef  Green curry chicken Mussaman curry chicken All the dishes were good. The noodle ones were a little on the sweeter side. And even though we ordered the dishes mild the green curry and musaaman still had some spice to it. Overall a good tasty meal from Krua Thai.

    Ok, yes I had Krua Thai 2 days in a row lol This time I had the extra crispy Pad Lad Nar with vegetables. I asked the manager to separate the sauce from the noodles so they could still be crispy and he said that he couldn't do it because they come together. He and the chef were really great though because they placed the crispy noodles on top of the sauce :) It was good! The noodles were very crispy and made well, the sauce was light in flavor and had the perfect savory flavor, and the vegetables were all crisp and not over cooked. I really enjoyed eating this dish and would definitely order it again.

    How are they with gluten allergies? Nothing is labeled on the menu, do they accommodate and do you know which dishes are gluten free?

    All I know is they made our dishes with no sugar. Have to call and ask

I'm really surprised that such a good place is inside the parktoshop food court. The portions are huge for the price so this is honestly a bargain and a steal. I def will be coming back in the future and bringing more ppl as well. Forgot to take a pic of the food bc it was so good but I tried the kee mao chicken extra spicy -Thai spicy - very delicious and has that wok hay so the noodles weren't sticky or soggy. Also got the Thai ice tea- really good and the mango sticky rice. The rice was a bit soggy and mango was not as ripe but overall still great !

    We returned tonight for another carryout dinner from here. I learned that as of April 2026, this…read moreeatery is now under new ownership. The original talented mom and pop owners retired and returned to Thailand, and best wishes to them. There is a newer menu and it is slightly more limited and doesn't include a favorite of ours, #51 Tom Leng, as that dish apparently was too much work to prepare. Anyway, we ordered a #22 pork hide sun (fried crispy pork with sticky rice) for $12.95 as well as a #35 pad see eiw with chicken also for $12.95. I would say the value was very good and the quality on the average side. The fried pork had good flavor but the sticky rice was microwaved in saran wrap and was a hard dough ball by the time we got home and a big disappointment. This could have been a very nice dish if the rice were steamed and eaten right there in the food court. The chicken pad see eiw was pretty average in taste and content. I would say overall it's a 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars with relative value being their best aspect. Best wishes and good luck in any event to the new owners!

    Now for the update. For years I considered this modest restaurant a highlight. The staff was cool…read moreand efficient. Ordering was a breeze and the guys were always open to a conversation or giving suggestions. The restaurant was clean and the meal was always tasty. Just a note but the further away you move from any major city the fewer and harder it is to find great Asian food. The suburb is lucky to have them. The pandemic brought new staffing. Some were pleasant with customers though one lady, a supervisor had the wrong ideas of what customer service and proper etiquette is. Just the basics of my final visit. I took my family for lunch. We ordered lunch specials and a couple extra must-try plates. Two specials hit the table and the third was left waiting for her meal. Unbeknownst to us in the moment, her food was handed to a single patron there for his lunch. The place was filling up with a lunch rush but not so many that had complicated orders. Many were ordering similar lunch specials. Kung pao lunch special was popular. When her order finally arrived the supervisor realized she had given the wrong plate to the customer sitting some tables behind us. Mind you ten minutes had already passed. She quickly went over to him and asked what he had ordered. She then took the plate he was eating from and handed him the fresh plate. He was still holding a half eaten egg roll in his hand. Then she brought the quarter eaten plate and placed it in front of my mother. Before she could leave I stopped her and asked her what she was doing. She simply stated that was her lunch order. I told her she handed my mother someone else's food that they were eating and I watched the whole thing. Why didn't you take that to the back and make a completely new plate of food?! I paid the bill and got the F**k out. That's gross. Also, you gave the other patron new food but cannot do the same for our table?? This place is dead to me. If she could do that, it beckons the question of what else is happening behind the scenes.

    Liked the place last time, a little more this time. Service was excellent. We asked a lot of…read morequestions about the ingredients and they were happy to answer them. Like the texture to the spring rolls and the dipping sauce. Would have liked for the rolls to have tofu in them but they were still very good. The kung pao tofu was a large portion and very tasty over the sticky white rice. Not sure why the place isn't busier. Prices are good, food is very tasty and service was also great.

    The food was fantastic here at Jimmy Thai! We got the panang curry since it was recommended, and it…read moredefinitely did not disappoint. The curry was flavorful, packed with veggies and chicken, and paired so nicely with the fluffy white rice. We also got the pad woon sen, and it had a nice wok hei flavor; the noodles were bouncy and paired well with the hot sauce on the table as well. Lastly, we got the mango sticky rice for dessert, and they give you SO MANY MANGOES. The rice was sweet, and you had enough mangoes to pair it with every single bite of rice. The service was good; they always made sure to check in on us and even brought us extra plates to let us share our dishes. The only con I have is that I asked for potatoes in my curry, but I didn't know it'd be a dollar extra. It's not a big deal, but I'd love to know when I ask. The ambiance was very Thai themed, and they had a lot of awards for their restaurant. It also caught my eye that they won a food bracket tournament with other restaurants I have heard of as well. There's also a large parking lot and lots of seats if you want to dine in. I also noticed a large amount of takeout orders, so you can tell this place is very popular.

    Based on the owners response. I went and asked for a more authentic recipe. What I got in return…read morewas overly salty and sauced pad Thai. It was just a slop of mess. When I asked for a more authentic recipe I wasn't expecting them to just add more sauce. Just completely lazy imo. If you're looking for a bleached version of Thai food. This place is it. While all the dishes have Thai names. It's just typical American food dressed up as "Thai" They recently raised the prices and for the slop they serve you. Not worth it.
