Decided to try this Thai place for the first time. Even though there was plenty of open seating, the service felt a bit unwelcoming. The calamari looked great but was very chewy we only managed one or two pieces. The salad wasn't tossed, and overall the dishes lacked flavor and presentation. I didn't finish my meal, and it didn't sit well with me although it could just be what I ordered. On the bright note, the peanut sauce was delicious and the highlight of the meal. I might consider coming back to try it with a different dish. The food wasn't terrible, but better seasoning, presentation, and simply tossing the salad would have made a big difference. Not sure I'll be back, but I'm glad I gave it a try.

Beef Pad See Ew
Cristina D.

Stopped by here on our way home going all the way to Thai town in Hollywood was out of the question after a long day. At any rate, we came at a good time as not a lot of people were here but enough to say that the place gets busy. A lot of people came to pick up their orders We ordered the Crispy Pork w/ Chinese Broccoli, Tom Yum Shrimp Very Spicy level and Beef Pad See Ew. We wanted the Sautéed Morning Glory with Garlic but we were told that morning glory was out of season. I read another review from 4 months ago and they were told the same thing. Somehow I find it hard to believe because you can literally find morning glory in just about every Asian market any time of the year. Also, I've had it in another Asian restaurant every time we order it. At any rate, the food we ordered was good. The noodles have that distinct wok taste. I wish the pork belly was fresher as it seemed like it was fried the day before. The Tom yum had a good flavor but the shrimp were small so they appeared over cooked in the broth. Rating 3.5/5

It's been a while since we stopped off here. As we were in the neighborhood, popped in for a bite. Menu is still as it was from previous years but quantity has decreased quite a bit. Food doesn't take long to arrive but is always hot and fresh when brought out. Also, time seemed to have changed as they tend to close early even on a Saturday night. I remember being here after the bars but now it seemed to be closed pretty early. Food, from what we've ordered was good. The curry now is half of what they used to bring out. The soup, pipping hot when it comes out. The fried fish was great with the Thai chili sauce on the side. Pad see ew, good and flavors was great.

I cannot complain about how delicious the food is here, but there were a few things that did not go as planned. Service is quick, and the order came out relatively fast. My friends and I ordered the Tom yum chicken (we asked for medium spicy, but it was not spicy at all), chicken fried rice, pad see ew with tofu, and the chicken bbq plate. Like I said, the food was delicious and the portions were big enough to share up to 4 people. The restaurant is spacious and the lights were bright. So upon passing out the bowls for our soup, there was a little cockroach in the bowl crawling. We immediately asked the server for brand new utensils and plates. The new silverware we got had still had left over food on them. Despite the food being really delicious, the restaurant can work on their cleanliness. The restaurant has a parking lot, but it fills up really fast.

Fried chicken over rice
Leo C.

This is for take out only. So glad I tried this place! It's been on my bookmark seems like forever. Great Thai restaurant with extensive menu and reasonably priced. Placed my order while stuck in traffic and it was ready 20 minutes later. All the condiments and utensils were already included without me asking...nice! The restaurant is located on end of strip lot. Interior has a nice modern and spacious vibe. I got pad see ew with beef, fried chicken over rice and panang chicken. OMG, everything was so good and flavorful. Best pad see ew I've had in long time. Noodles and beef were cooked to perfection. Panang curry had good blend of spices. Portions were perfect for sharing. Overall really enjoyed the experience and looking forward to trying other dishes.

Stopped by on a random Thursday with my wife and honestly 10/10. We arrived around 6:30pm with plenty of open seating, but by 7:15pm the place was buzzing. The food and service were both top-notch. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, spicy, and it was perfect. Hands down my new go-to dish every time I come back. Wife tried a couple things like the egg rolls, crab cakes, & orange chicken. Definitely returning with my wife again soon!

Pretty good Thai Spot in Noho. My sister in law had suggested going to the Krua Thai in Covina last week, and I remembered there being one in North Hollywood. It was pretty good so I got some take out from this location. Ordered the Pad Thai lunch special - came with fried rice, an egg roll and soup. Got my hubby the chicken larb. Overall the food was good - but slightly lacking in flavor. The restaurant looked clean and the staff was really nice. Overall good, will have to come back and try some more stuff!

Krua Thai has always been my refuge for the real deal--deeply authentic Thai food that doesn't pander or compromise. I've dragged friends and family here over the years, each visit turning skeptics into believers. The kind of place where the heat is real, the flavors don't hold back, and every bite reminds you why you seek out the good stuff in the first place. Sure, parking can be a nightmare during peak hours, but let's be honest--if that's a dealbreaker, you probably weren't worthy of the meal to begin with.

Pad see ew and fried pork nuggets
Ally O.

Great little Thai spot. Does get a little busy but plenty of seating is offered. Service is friendly. The pad see ew and the fried pork nuggets is what I always go back for. Great noddles and crispy pork. Good portion sizes as well.

Sautéed eggplant (WITH PEANUTS)
Mirko M.

I honestly love the food and service here. They were so quick and kind when I came to do a takeout order! I ordered shrimp toast, pad see ew, boneless roasted duck, and received a recommendation for sautéed eggplant as the morning glory I wanted was out of season. I ended the order saying NO PEANUTS ON ANYTHING because I'm severely allergic!!! A few bites into the eggplant, and my mouth is swollen and I feel nauseous. Luckily, I don't have an anaphylactic reaction, but there are others who could have died from this. Given the recent media attention towards peanut allergy deaths, I would hope more restaurants take these requests seriously. ***Update: I just got off the phone with the restaurant (not sure who I spoke with, it was a man) and he gaslighted me saying "I'm just being honest, we don't use peanuts in this dish. It's garlic maybe." Then after insisting it is obviously peanuts (since I have eyes and I'm vomiting and cramping) he said to bring the dish to the restaurant and they could make a new one or to go to the ER and bring the medical bill. When I stated a refund of the full order would suffice, he stated I would still have to come to the restaurant with the card used for a refund. I am unable to do this now because I had to take a Benadryl which is sedating. This whole issue was so unprofessionally handled and I will be going through the appropriate channels to file a formal complaint.

My family wanted to stop by here today for dinner so I decided to join them. Finding parking in the plaza this restaurant is in was easy today for a Sunday evening. Since they were not busy, we all seated quickly and our waiter came to take our order. My sister got her chicken over rice and I went with their chow Mein combo. The other people order fried rice, some soup l, fried fish and bbq pork. The complicated food came out first. My chow Mein and fried rice was the last to come out but I didn't mind waiting for her. They give a decent portion of the chicken over rice and you'll get a lot of rice. My chow Mein combo came with a lot of meat and seafood. If you want Sriracha then it's not in a bottle but they put it in a small plate instead. There wasn't as much noodles but it filled me up. The service we receive was amazing and they stayed attentive to us. It been awhile since I dine inside here but it looked up to date and cleaned.

The options seem similar to Chubby Dumpling and Tigawok. I ordered the #4 Combo, with the Signature Dumplings and the Signature Noodles. Both dishes were good. The Signature Noodles were nicely done and had some good flavor, I just wish that there was a protein option to add to it. The Signature Dumplings were fine. I've also tried the Spicy Wontons, which were small but tasty. The big sell here is the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, for $17.95. This is the only dish that's served in a big ceramic bowl, and not a to-go container. It also comes with a proper Ramen soup spoon. This is a meal on it's own. Filled with broth, noodles, chunks of tender, but fatty beef, daikon radishes and bok choy. The dish is good for the price, but the broth was a bit underwhelming for my taste. Fortunately, they have plenty of condiments to add more spice and heat. Over all, Bafang Dumpling was better than expected.

Nice quaint place with a few tables a few counter seats by the window and a few tables outside. Tablets to order are affixed on the indoor tables which is very modern. Missed the pancake and pear slushie which the latter was sold out and the former wasn't even on the menu when we came for lunch? So we went with the fried chix and the tofu soup. Nothing extraordinary but considering the area, halfway between ktown and northridge it will do. Of course the soup remained pipping hot throughout the meal, which has to be a standard when eating almost all korean soups. Food was good. Chicken was sweet and sticky-icky. The tofu soup missed the oomph. Was spicy and pipping hot but was kinda watery. Likely a one and done since there are so many other different options in the area. Might be worth a retry if we're in the area and under time constraints again.

According to other reviews that I have read earlier today, the restaurant is under new management/ownership. Walked in today around 4:45pm and got a very nice, warm welcome from Alex - the owner himself. He told me to have a seat anywhere that I wanted, so I did. Alex himself took my order and the food came out pretty quickly and fast. I was very hungry so I got 2 main entrées and their regular small salad with peanut dressing. Ordered their Pad See Ew with beef & shrimp that also came with well cooked broccoli. I also got their crab fried rice and stayed with my water. Both entrees were cooked really well and were hot & tasty. My only complaint was that the beef was a bit overcooked and hard to chew. A lot of to-go orders and delivery/pick up by 3rd parties. Place was SPOTLESS CLEAN, including their gender neutral restroom. They also had nice decor all around. I really enjoyed my lunch and the portions being HUGE, took the rest home for my son to eat.
