    Ordered a to to. Beef soup pho and crab wagoon. Not the best wagon I've had..the filling did not taste like cream cheese at all. It wasn't tasty. The pho was okay. Normal pho. I like that they had all the hot sauce and chili available at the take. Good Cutomer service and quiet ambience.

    Vietnamese Crab Cake Soup
    Angelica H.

    WOW. I am really shocked at how much this place exceeded my expectations for Vietnamese food. specifically their bun rieu!!! I did not expect any Vietnamese restaurant by Seaside/Monterey to serve such a specialty dish, and not only serve it but even make it better than some places in San Jose which is known for Viet food. their portion sizes were very generous for the price. My bun rieu bowl was $14 for a small which was more like a regular size bowl. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving Vietnamese food in the area. Bonus: this restaurant is in the same plaza as Lynn's Arcade which is an amazing local pinball arcade. Very fun for a date idea :)

    Roast pork with noodles

    This review is based on my UberEats order from Orient Restaurant. Speed: Quick. I received the food pretty quickly. The food was packaged well. Value: Poor. Pictured was carry out that was $61. The braised catfish was NOT worth $16. There was only 5 pieces of fish in a half filled container. The Crispy Spicy Beef was over cooked and over seasoned. The roast pork vermicelli noodles were OK. The roast pork was very dry and noodles were cold. I was very unsatisfied with my order. Huge disappointment.

    Excellent service and delicious food. With new ownership, the atmosphere is now more inviting.

    Hightly recommend it; the place is spotless and has lots of parking lots. The only place that I find the best dry egg noodle around here. Also the best service

    I can't believe I hadn't posted a review yet. As you'll see in a few of my reviews, whenever I move to a new area, at the top of my to-do list is to find my new favorite local Asian spot (usually Chinese) and Orient is it! They are a little pricier than I'm used to with much smaller portions than I've experienced in the past, but, it's still totally worth it. The food is cooked to order and always fresh and tasty! You can certainly tell that they are using quality ingredients. Just two days ago I had their wonton soup and it's the best wonton soup I've had to date. Everything tasted soo good. My go-to items on the menu are their bbq pork fried rice, salt n pepper shrimp (shell on) and crispy spicy seafood. I also note that whenever I pick up my food there's usually a few patrons in the dining area diligently working on cleaning their plates.

    Small Beef Comb Pho

    Came here on my lunch and ordered the Beef Combination Pho and man, I was blasted away with superb flavor. The broth was perfect along with the noodles and meat. They have hoisin sauce, sriracha, chili crisp oil, and this very good green salsa type deal that made the soup absolutely POP. The Fresh Lemonade was really delicious and refreshing. Staff is very nice and bubbly and helpful! 10/10 would Pho again!

    REALLY good Vietnamese food. I ate the garlic noodles per recommendation…read more I get to eat a lot of good Vietnamese food, especially Pho and banh-mi sandwiches up in the San Francisco Bay Area. So I wasn't expecting anything special when I walked into this place. But this is definitely a step above simply good fare. I'll be back for more.

    Came with my family here for dinner and not going to lie it was alright... the food wasn't…read morehorrible, it's your typical pho restaurant. The inside was a little cramped, they provided the wooden chopsticks but no sauce plate, spoons, or even napkins, thought it was a given but had to ask. I got the combo pho which was decent along with the thai iced tea. Combo pho tastes like your average combo pho, nothing crazy. The thai tea was alright, it came with a mason jar and lowkey wished it was a little sweeter, didn't have high expectations for the drink. Family also ordered the combo fried rice that was also decent. I don't remember what my family ordered but they seemed to enjoy it. Heard from one of them and they noticed the pho didn't have enough noodles, wished there was more but didn't want to take the risk of having to wait. The food overall wasn't too bad, however, the wait was probably the downside of this place. Arrived at 6:15, did not get our food till an hour later (not kidding). Not sure if the place was short staffed but the food took a good chunk of our time. We were all being patient and respectful because we know what it is like to have rushes but an hour for our food to arrive was a bit disappointing. The service was bootycheeks I'm not going to lie... the workers were rushing us to be seated, side eyed us when we were complaining on the low but what do you expect when you have a hungry family trying to get their dinner... but okay... From sj trying out pho in monterey, not bad not going to lie. Would i come back? Maybe if im in the area, not sure if i am willing to wait an hour for the food to come. This is the type of spot you would go to if you don't have no where else to go. Tungtungtungsahur rates 2.5/5

    I been coming to Krua Thai for many years. They have just updated the inside of their restaurant…read more Not to many restaurant's are so clean and continue keep things up to date and with good food and great service. If you haven't come for lunch then you are missing out. I know for a fact that they every day they get the freshest vegetables and other supplies. I see the owner out and about shopping daily. If you haven't been here or think it is just another Thai restaurant then you are mistaken. People I have run into in other states who have traveled to Monterey say to me they have had dinner there and have praised and raved about the food. People on vacation mostly talk about the Monterey Bay aquarium or the golf course is not too many people talk about restaurants except for Krua Thai so if you miss it when you came to Monterey, then you're missing out.

    8.6/10 Tried the Pad…read moreThai Noodles, Yellow Curry, and Tom Yum Noodle Soup, overall a really enjoyable experience! The Pad Thai hit the flavor perfectly with that sweet and savory balance and a generous portion of beef. The sauce was fantastic, but the noodles were very clumped together, which made it a bit tricky to eat, each bite felt like a single dense clump. The Yellow Curry was the star of the meal definitely a must-try! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and pairing it with rice really helps soak it all up. Plenty of chicken and potatoes, with carrots and onions that were cooked just right. Saucy, hearty, and satisfying. The Tom Yum Noodle Soup was also excellent. I got the chicken version, and they don't skimp on protein! The soup had perfect rice noodles, mushrooms, and fresh cilantro. The broth was rich yet light, perfect for warming up. My only small gripe: the tomatoes were a bit too tart. Service was fast and attentive, and the ambiance felt clean and upscale.
