My favorite Thai restaurant in the area! The panang curry and the chicken pad Thai are my absolute favorite! The crab Rangoons and spring rolls are also really good. The place is a sort of hole-in-the-wall, not many tables inside, but is perfect for take-out during these times. read more

This place is solid. I really like their food. Everything is take out right now. But their curries are very nice. I also really enjoyed their green papaya salad and crab Rangoons (angles). Good and quick. read more

I really like Thai food and this is the best I've found in the area, hands down. Now sometimes I'll explore the menu but to be honest, my favorites here are the tofu pad thai and the yom kha soup chicken. Both have awesome flavor, they are always consistently good and mild means mild (which is a plus to me, but from what spice loving friends have said, spicy is quite spicy too!) Place is run by a no- nonesense husband and wife team, they've never gotten an order wrong. The one downside is that the lunch special appetizers are all from frozen, but they're not why I'm there in the first place. Will keep coming back. read more

Their ginger chicken is so good and their spring rolls are very good. Their pot stickers fried are amazing and their steamed ones are good too. Cashew chicken really good. Make sure to add the spicy chili sauce for great taste. Their staff is friendly and food wont disappoint. I drive 45 mins just to get a taste. Yummm read more

I ordered take out last night from Krupa Thai. I'm newly vegetarian & dairy free so I was hesitant to try out vegetarian food at a restaurant. The man on the phone was great & made sure my order had tofu & even questioned if egg was ok or not. When I went to pick my order up I was the only one in the restaurant. The gentleman who gave me the order was very very nice. The meal was delicious!! The pad Thai was great...although next tome I'll get extra peanut sauce. The massaman curry was a bit spicy but wonderful! I'm used to massaman curry with peanut, potatoes, pineapple. This curry had potatoes, nuts, tofu & grapes, a very delicious combination. I also ordered the vegetable spring rolls. Oh these were earthen first. Hot, crispy & delicious with a sweet chili sauce. Most surprising of this meal was the best tofu of my life. I have never had non-mushy tofu. This was seared on the edges & form but soft. I would eat tofu everyday if I could learn to make it like this! Overall the meal was delightful & the tofu was the best I've ever had! I will be back soon! read more

Came here for the first time today and got chicken pad thai and potstickers for take out. All the food was blah. It wasn't awful but there are many places in this area that are far better. The people who say this is the best pad thai they ever had make me sad. Y'all need to love yourselves. Kudos to the guy at the counter doing his best. I won't be back. Edit: The longer I'm eating it, the weirder it tastes. The peanuts taste super smoky, almost burnt. The sauce is super sweet and watery at the same time. And the noodles taste over-boiled. But the chicken is cooked very well so good job there. read more

The most authentic Thai food in the area without being overpriced. I appreciate that the owners do not adjust recipes to appease the American pallet. read more

The pad Thai has flavor and nice variety of textures. Piping hot and tasted fresh. Real sweet but good. The service was efficient. Easy carry out Thai food. The beef though seemed like it was precooked and lacked flavor but the noodles were very good. read more

We've never had the food here before and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We had the pad woo sen and and spicy basil chicken. Both dishes were excellent and we look forward to trying this place again. read more

I tried Krua Thai for the first time today and I loved it! I got the lunch special Pad see ewe and received appetizer of the day for carryout, which the lunch special comes with and a bottle of water (awesome, since I love water more than pop). The appetizers were fresh and nicely fried, there was a spring roll and a few crab rangoon, with another fried appetizer I had not idea what it was but everything was light, crispy and delicious. The pad see ewe was not the best I ever had but was still decent. It was a good portion as well. I added a little Sriracha sauce to spice it up and give it more sauce. The lunch special was more expensive than i've usually had it for $10, but it does include a nice portion of the entree, appetizer of the day, and a bottle of water. It is a small and clean restaurant. I will definitely be going back to try more of their lunch specials! read more

So good -- love this place. Tons of vegan/vegetarian options, nice people, yum food. Highly recommend.

My parents have lived down the street from Krua Thai my entire life and I never knew what we were missing. My mom loves Thai and usually drives into the city or goes to a place in Evanston if she's near by. I live in NYC now and after getting some disappointing Thai food there, my boyfriend and I were hoping to find some Thai food redemption while we were home visiting family. Krua did not disappoint- my boyfriend said it was the best fried rice he's ever had. We got it a second time with my entire family later in the week and everyone was so impressed. Highly recommend! read more

First time going to Krua Thai and got the chicken pad thai (mild). A small business that's carry out only with a small parking lot. I wonder if it's because I got the mild pad Thai that it was red and tasted more tomato-y than other pad Thai that I've had that's normally brown colored and savory. It didn't taste bad but wasn't what I expected. The lunch special was a good deal that includes 2 dumplings, crab Rangoon, egg roll, and a water bottle. Service is very kind and would like to try other dishes here again! read more

FOOD POISONING ALERT!!!!!! Initially I was ready to give high ratings after leaving the restaurant. However, the hubby has been suffering all night with food poisoning from the shrimp pad thai. I am pretty confident that the shrimp is the culprit since that is the only item I did not share with him. Sadly we will definitely not be going back even though there were items on the menu that I enjoyed. I can't trust that they are handling their ingredients properly in the kitchen. read more

Cant go wrong with anything from this place. Highly recommend the basil chicken! Lunch special is $9 and it's one of the best thai places around here. read more

Wonderful Mom & Pop Thai joint. Very very slow and yet so completely delicious. The Crab Rangoon is different and great. Tom Tom Soup was eye good. I loved my Thai Fried Rice with tofu and chicken. The Curry Mussamun is fantastic. We will be going back and be sure to call it in extra early. read more

I had Shrimp Pad Thai "take out." It was deftly nothing to write home about. I would not recommend eating inside the restaurant. read more

Not that great. Overpriced Thai food. Asked for it spicy and when I picked it up it had dry uncooked chili powder on the top of my beef salad. It was horrible. Beef was boiled , grey in color. Ordered Basil Chicken and asked for that hot too and again mine had dry chili powder thrown on top, not cooked in. Have no idea what this owner of this Thai place was thinking but oh my god, this places is terrible. I work in Deerfield and live in the city so gave this place a try on my way home one day. MISTAKE But it's pretty typical in the suburbs to get crappy Asian food. The city is where to go. Forget this suburb crap. And forget about this overpriced crappy Thai place read more

Little hole in the wall Thai place, their quality of the chicken is amazing, I had chicken pad Thai and the second time (yes the second in a week) I had green curry chicken and fried tofu which was amazing! read more

It used to be my fav local for Thai food, but then I ordered my Pad Thai with shrimp and chicken combo, and my shrimps were green and old. I ordered them to go so simply I just throw them away. Me and my friend spoke with owner after this accident, unfortunately situation happened few more times. After many chances we gave to this place, we won't come back. Food it's not so tasty and fresh as it was year ago. read more

Small mom-and-pop family restaurant excellent tomYum soup went there on a Saturday evening there's a little small section to eat was really good the soup head green basil curry rice I was so so and Lardner seafood definitely would recommend the seafood Tom Yum soupThe service was slow Saturday night read more

I went back this weekend and picked up delivery for myself and my wife. I think it was the dreams I was having about the pad see ew I had for lunch here last week. Not only was the food terrific again but I had a chance to chat with the owner, Toi, for a bit. SUPER nice guy, very humble and kind. He used to work at another Thai place in Chicago for the past 20 years, and although he didn't want to get into details about his past endeavors, he told me that he quit there and took a couple years hiatus, contemplating retirement. However, he used the time to concentrate on putting spins on his quality Thai food dishes at home, and decided he couldn't get away from cooking. It was a compelling story, and hence the reason Krua Thai was born!! Thank heavens and thanks for the conversation, Toi!!! I HAD to have the Pad See Ew again. Awesome. My wife had the tofu pad thai, and it was tasty. Not the best pad thai I've ever had, but fresh & clean flavors. We had some spring rolls that we very good, but the highlight was the pineapple fried rice. YUM!!! Had pineapple and raisins in it, making it a sweeter fried rice than any I have ever had. LOVED it!!! CANNOT wait to try some of the other fried rice dishes there!! Thanks again to Toi, and please people, try this place and support local business!!! It's people like this who deserve your business, not these corporate places out there that are churning out processed food without a care or thought towards quality or passion!!! read more

Ive only eaten here once and the food was good and decent pricing. The service was okay, I was there on a busy night. Will try again

For the quaint setting, you'd probably pass this incredible gem up. The strip mall or signage is hardly telling of the remarkable Thai experience the food will send you on. I walked in, ordered Tom-ka and green curry both extra spicy. Within 8 minutes, I was leaving with two large portions, piping hot. The Tom-Ka was beyond perfect! A melding of spicy with creamy and sweet and tang. It was enough for two. The green curry- which the owner recommended as his favorite, brought the heat without sacrificing depth of flavor and texture. Chicken was tender. And rice was served on the side. I'm extremely happy with the quality, especially considering the reasonable cost. Give it a try! read more

They forgot half our order in the delivery, which is probably a good thing. The Pad Thai was the worst I've had in the area. I've had better from the frozen aisle at the grocery store. The reason I'm giving this three stars is for the basil fried rice. One of the best in the area. Get that! read more

I wouldn't recommend eating in - I found that experience wanting - but for carry out Thai food we were extremely satisfied. We ordered the Spicy Basil Chicken and Green Curry, specifying spicy on both; I waited for the order, reading an interesting National Geographic, and in 12-15 minutes all was ready; a ten minute ride didn't harm the food which came out piping hot and delicious, the basil chicken especially. Nice spice heat too. The rice was no more than adequate but the other dishes were so fine it didn't matter. read more

What an unbelievable lunch special. What value! A huge bowl of chicken pad thai, an appetizer sampler consisting of two potstickers, a crab rangoon, and an egg roll, plus a bottle of water... all for $7.50! The food was solid. The pad thai was spicy, as I ordered it, and filled with a nice amount of vegetables which added some freshness I like. I especially loved how many green onions were in the bowl. The chicken was whatever but the rest of the dish made up for it. The appetizers were all fried well. I really liked the amount of glass noodle in the egg roll, which had good all-around texture. The crab rangoon was a little heavy on the cream cheese but tasty. The potstickers had a really tasty filling but unfortunately the ratio wasn't ideal. They skimped a little on the filling. But hey, for the price, I shouldn't be complaining. read more

It was late, we were tired, we wanted Thai, and we wanted someplace close to our hotel. Major score. We called the restaurant from the car, asked for recommendations, the woman who answered (an owner?) was patient and provided excellent recommendations, and everything was outstanding. Very typical, small, nothing fancy, family-owned restaurant. Maybe 10 tables with the kitchen in the back. I waited for all of two or three minutes before the order was ready -- a few minutes before they told us it would be ready -- paid, and brought it back to our hotel room. Soup was so hot in temperature that we had to let it cool off before we could eat it. That was awesome as so often takeout soup is lukewarm. We also ordered a shrimp with vegetables dish and pad thai. Both were piping hot, delightful taste, medium spice, and just what the doctor ordered. The shrimp, for example, were cooked to perfection. Again, not easy to do with takeout food. Not that I again want to be tired and looking for food close to my hotel but if that happens in the Northbrook area, we'll definitely know where we're going. read more

THIS PLACE!!!! SOOO GOOD. :) I stopped in while on a business trip. I got the Tom Kha soup. SOOOO Delicious. It was a cold cold night but this delicious soup warmed me up and hit the spot. I love a great Tom Kha soup - this is one of the best I have had!!! The owner was helpful and so great. He's a fantastic guy with a great smile. I wish I lived in Northbrook so I could become a regular. Get the take-out and enjoy a great meal!!! So fantastic!!! read more

I went for lunch today with a few colleagues from work. We all had items on the lunch menu. The food was very good and well priced. An appetizer trio, entree, and soda for $7.50! As others indicated, the inside is small and can only seat about 8 individuals. However, the owner was very friendly and the food was fresh and tasty. read more

Lunch special is a great value and tastes great. I usually go for the chicken and beef pad Thai.

Little hole in the wall in a Jenky strip mall. Stopped in on a Friday night for takeout. The place is small and although they have a few tables, it is obvious that takeout is this business's pad and noodle, or fortune cookie, if you will. ;) Anyway, while waiting, I caught a glimpse of grandma in the kitchen, which was a sign of hints to come. My husband and I ordered food for a family of 4, for about $40. We got pad Thai, basil chicken entree, spring rolls, and a large Tom kha soup. Dee. Lish! We devoured everything. The medium spice was just the right amount of heat and the fresh basil in the dish was flavorful and refreshing. We had plenty of leftovers that we pan fried the jasmine rice and entree the next day. This will be a regular Friday night takeout spot for us. read more

i love this food hits the spot every time a bit pricey but people have to pay bills love every penny spent. will comeback never disappoints

My husband and I ordered the curry noodle soup and the chicken fried rice with egg rolls. This is the best Thai Food we have ever had. The spice was spot on. The flavor was flawless. We plan to order again very soon and repeatedly. We cannot wait to try more and more food from this place! read more

Ok. I literally made a Yelp account just so I could review this restaurant. My family lives in Northbrook, so we order from Krua Thai very often, usually once a week. We've actually eaten at a lot of Thai places, and Krua Thai is one of the best, in my opinion. The thing that strikes me the most is that it's just a small business owned by a husband and his wife. However, the food is still great. Although the food comes in styrofoam containers, the food is definitely not low-quality. The food is prepared with a variety of flavors and there are many great dishes on the menu. In addition, what amazes me the most, is that he and his wife work in the restaurant seven days a week, tenish hours a day. In terms of the dishes, I would recommend the salads. The beef and squid salads are my favorite. They both have healthy portions of meat and vegetables. However, the star of these dishes are the sauce, and the attention to detail put into its flavoring. Also, other dishes I enjoy include the green curry, pad see ewe, and fried rice. Each has its own distinct flavor. Even though this restaurant is definitely more catered to take-out, I would definitely recommend trying their food if you can. So take it from someone who has eaten at Krua Thai a lot and has had a chance to try the various dishes it has to offer. If you are a fan of Thai and maybe even if your not, I guarantee that Krua Thai will not disappoint. read more

We ordered the basil chicken and beef salad(num tuk). The basil chicken did have Americanized veggies in it (I.e, bamboo shoots), however, Both flavors were spot on and tasted authentic. They also don't mess around with their "spicy". When you order something spicy, it's a true Thai spicy. Come if you are looking for good authentic Thai flavored food. Look else where if you want ambience and fancy plates. read more

Love their crab Rangoon. Love their pad Thai Love their lunch special Not open on Monday??? Five stars. Always have me coming back!!! Love it read more

A no non-sense, no frills take out restaurant. If you came for the food, be prepared to be delighted. But if you came for the ambiance, you'll be disappointed. There's only 4 tables and a couch for eating but it's very clean and minimalist inside. The food can rival alot of sit down restaurants in taste. The owners are friendly and helpful to everyone. I'd come back anytime. read more

I almost walked out the door. Food finally came and of course no sauces and no silverware still. Everyone else that came into the store was picking up to-go orders they had already called in.

Never had a bad dish here. We love love love their chicken pad thai, chicken kee mao, chicken satay, beef salad (forgot the real name of it), cucumber salad, and Thai iced tea. The owner is super nice and friendly. When they are busy, they will give you certain amount of time and asked if that's ok. In summary, awesome food and marvelous customer service read more
