Favorites: Grilled Pork Jowl and Roasted Duck Curry! These succulent meats came with rich, flavorful sauces that had us savoring every bite. Our server was friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer recommendations. She checked in on us several times throughout the meal to make sure everything was to our liking. As a sweet bonus, the owner even sent us home with a bag of coconut chips to try out! This is exactly the kind of casual, delicious neighborhood spot you want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

Tried Krata for the first time! Located in a strip mall, there's plenty of parking. The restaurant is nice and clean. We ordered 2 lunch specials: yellow curry with chicken and Hot basil ground chicken. And a Khoa Soi noodle. The lunch specials came with a nice spring salad and light crispy eggrolls. The chicken in both the curry and Khoa soi were exceptionally tender. We loved our food and the service and are looking forward to coming back to try more items.

This restaurant is in a small plaza with a small parking lot. I came here around 8 pm, so wasn't busy and parking was fine. Restaurant itself was also small. It took a while for our food to come out, probably 20-30 minutes. There were a few other groups there and some to-go orders. We had the following: 1. Grilled pork jowl: fatty as expected, but it was good. The sauce on the side was tasty and had some spice to it. 2. Red Chili fried rice with chicken: fried rice was good. The chicken was fried, which I didn't expect. It kind of tasted/reminded me of popcorn chicken. I would have preferred just regular stir-fried chicken. 3. Tom yum soup with chicken: the soup was not as sour or did not have as strong of a lemongrass flavor as I would have liked, but overall the soup was still good. Although the soup itself seemed a bit concentrated. The plating for this restaurant was very nice. It provided an affordable fine-dining type feel that elevated the dishes. Prices were reasonable. Overall, the food was good. I would definitely come back to try some other dishes. Other than the food took some time to come out, service was good and staff was friendly.

My friend had been eyeing this thai place. It seemed a bit more fancier than your typical thai restaurants. Every dish seemed beautifully presented. It's super nice that they gave salad as a free appetizer. We started with eggrolls. It wasn't the typical eggrolls I've had. It seemed like it had some kind of mashed potatoes inside? I don't know why but it tasted more Chinese dish than Thai? They cut it up and made it look super fancy. Personally, I feel like cutting it up in half would just make everything cool down faster, but I guess if it's for the presentation, so be it. It wasn't my favorite, but my friend seemed to enjoy it a lot. My friend got the duck curry and it looked so beautiful! It also came with a lychee, probably to offset the spiciness. Super cool! I got a regular curry with dark meat as option for the chicken. The chicken was super moist. I got a mild curry, but it was still super spicy for me. All in all it was super yummy.

Wanted to try out a new thai spot today and this spot came up. Wasn't expecting too much but it was really good! We had the squid leg appetizer, glass noodle salad, the chef special (crispy garlic with pork jaw), and curry noodle. All three were really good but the chef special was my favorite for sure. The only thing was the appetizer was pretty small, though it was nice and crispy. But they didn't really give that much sauce. The service was quite good as well even though there was a large party there and we were told it might take a little longer, it didn't take long at all. The restaurant is modern looking and clean and the dishes are presented really nice as well! Definitely a good spot and would come back!

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night for dinner. Ordered the shrimp paste fried rice and also shared some of the Tom Yum soup and Papaya Salad. The dishes were excellent and had good depth of flavor. The staff was friendly and helpful, even explaining to us when the peak season for mango sticky rice was. There's soft lighting, clean tables and soft jazzy music playing if you eat in, though I'm sure this would be nice for takeout too if you live close enough. Ps: the pandan mango sticky rice was still pretty good despite not being in the best mango season

The duck curry is absolutely delicious. Must try if you are in the South Bay. Definitely will bring friends over to try this.

Janet T.

We ordered Tom Kha with Chicken, Roasted Duck Curry, Pad see Ew with Chicken and Pineapple fried rice. Everything was good. The best was the Duck Curry. Definitely will come back with some friends. Staff were nice and friendly.

As a Thai American, honestly I would have never guessed that I would find an authentic Thai restaurant in Harbor City. Since the area is prominently non Thai or Asian, I had made assumptions about this Thai spot. I was wrong. I was so crazy wrong. Krata is actually cooking Thai food with authentic flavors. I was impressed! Krata is creative with presentation and introduces new Thai dishes that I never tasted before that my critical Thai mom would approve. Khao Soi with roasted duck breast, presentation was 10/10 along with concentrated curry flavors, both slippery & crunchy egg noodles, mustard greens and it was amazing. One of the best I've had. That roasted duck with crispy skin, yummy! For anyone who has a fitness goal and wants a chicken breast with thai flavors, get their chicken satay. Basically it's sliced grilled chicken breast that's flavorful. If you want something more tender, get the grilled Pork Jowl/Cheeks because that Thai dipping sauce it is paired with is damn spicy but so addictive. I noticed everyone ordered a different type of fried rice. I am so glad that I did. These are not ordinary types of fried rices. You can pick from their classic but have fun flavors like green curry, pineapple, crab, spicy basil but we opted for the red chili paste fried rice with fried shrimp. The presentation was magnificent and the flavors were wow. This spicy red chili thai fried rice with a mountain of fried shrimp. Loved the textures. Eveyone talks about Tom Yum or Tom Kha Soup (coconut), it was first time trying Gaeng RanJuan Beef Soup. Loved it. The flavors are comforting and the beef was tender. It's sour, spicy and great on a rainy day with steamed rice. This restaurant is welcoming. The service is attentive. It's a local restaurant that deserves more love and support. The restaurant is clean and spacious. You can't forget, you must order the roti with curry dipping sauce. So much fun to eat and dip into your curries and soup during your meal.

Sebastian K.

Don't let the area discourage you from trying this place. The quality of the food and service belong in a different tier. The inside is really nice, with nice background music, and the food is super tasty. We came on a Friday night and the place quickly filled up. The food took a little bit to arrive but the wait was worth it and the prices were very reasonable. It was our first time here but we'll be back for sure.

Ximmy W.

This is a very clean restaurant with very welcoming service and hospitality. The food is really good with flavors very much authentic to Thailand. Their noodles are consistently fresh as well! Definitely a great local restaurant in Harbor City to try. They did the Duck Curry really well too. The plaza usually has ample free parking.

Food was delicious and customer service was really good! We got the Pad Thai, yellow curry, all the different types of tea, and mango sticky rice! Every single food and drink was good! This is will be go to Thai food! Chana was the one who helped us and she is super nice! The nicest person I've ever met.

First time here, came with my mom as we love exploring new restaurants, especially Thai food spots. Found this spot through a Tik Tok video I had seen earlier in the week. The spot isn't large but it's very nice inside, a relaxing ambiance with simple but fancy looking decor. We ordered their papaya salad, Tom Yum seafood soup, and beef pad see ew- all medium spicy. It was all DELICIOUS! We loved it all! Not only was the food amazing but the service from the one man here was great. He even gave us free coconut snacks to help my mom with the spice of her food. lol. All this to say that this won't be our last time here, there is so much more to try.

A hole in the wall restaurant that serves delicious, quality Thai food. Staff were all friendly and quick. My sister and I opted for their Duck Curry, Yellow Curry, Satay Chicken, and Mango Sticky Rice. The Duck Curry was a combination of tender meat paired along with a sweet and savory flavor that surprisingly was completed with the extra spicy kick. Just a heads up, the spice levels are slightly higher than usual so go down a notch. As for, the Yellow Curry, it was just the perfect amount of savoriness and spice. The Satay Chicken was perfectly cooked paired along with a sweet vinegar cucumber side and some kind of sweet bean paste. All of that deliciousness was completed with the Mango Sticky Rice. The sticky rice had a slight saltiness to it, but the mangoes and condensed milk just tied all together. All in all, amazing little spot for some Thai food in the Torrance/Habor area. Recommend! read more

Found this restaurant on the hot and new restaurant list and had to come try. I knew the food was going to be good when I sat down to order and I can hear an old lady in the kitchen yelling in thai. They currently have a buy 1 get 1 free Thai iced tea. A Bangkok Thai iced tea that's creamier (probably sweeter) and a Phuket Thai iced tea that has a stronger tea. I got the Phuket tea and it's the best Thai tea I've ever had! The food is very good, authentic, non of that fusion nonsense! Service was also great. Highly recommend ! read more

We frequented the place quite often when kids were younger and obsessed with their fried rice…read more Since then, the older gentleman who owned the establishment has retired and it changed hands many times. Today we decided to revisit the restaurant for old time's sake. Inside, the main wall was repainted with a new mural. The annual LA Marathon posters, pinned by the staff who participated in the events, were also gone. Nonetheless, it retained its traditional izakaya décor with its counter seating alongside some regular tables. The staff were all new but still very courteous and brought the menu and water right away. New items were added but the core dishes remained the same. For this visit, we ordered our regular items and they arrived in 10 minutes: Eboshi Mini Trio with Shio Ramen, Fried Rice and Gyoza: The fried rice was still top notch, with slightly firm texture, not too oily, and pleasantly seasoned. The Shio Ramen with its clear broth was nicely savory. The thin noodles were cooked perfectly, and the chashu pieces were tender. To complement the set, the gyozas with their delicate wraps had nicely burnt bottoms, and flavorful fillings. Champon Ramen: A complex ramen with an assortment of meat, veggies and seafood. There were sliced pork pieces, shrimps, squids, cabbage, onions, snow peas and many more. The clear broth was quite savory and enriched by oil from sauteed ingredients. The noodles had a very nice texture and were a tad al dente. We were amazed that after all these years, the restaurant retained its original taste and flavor. We found out the reason why while exiting the restaurant: The young cook from two decades ago is now running the open kitchen as head chef. Great food and still reasonable prices. It was totally worth revisiting.

Located on the corner of PCH and Penn Ave, the restaurant features its own 16-car parking lot. Inside, the décor is quite casual, and it is spacious enough to accommodate 50 guests. Upon arrival, the friendly staff promptly guided us to our table and brought menus and water right away. While perusing their menu, we found out they have stinky tofu. Yes, stinky tofu! The dish, with its pungent aroma and unique flavor, caused the ultimate sensory conflict between the taste and smell when we tried it for the first time. So, in a benign masochistic way, we went ahead and ordered their Crispy Spicy Stinky Tofu with Pork. When the dish arrived, we apologized profusely to our next table patrons for the smell, and even offered to let them try it, which they unhesitatingly and politely refused. This restaurant's version was slightly different. The fried tofu cubes had a tougher texture, less airy, and were lightly flavored. The sauce was nicely spicy, but the ground pork was present only in spirit because we couldn't find it. Overall, it was not too bad, but it could be better. Besides the tofu dish, we also ordered their Seafood in Crab Meat Sauce Noodle. This was an interesting dish. The soup came separately from the noodles and starchy sauce, which had shrimp and fish fillet toppings. This setup allows you to dilute the soup's thickness to your liking. The noodles were nicely al dente, the sauce was well seasoned, and the shrimp and fish filets had a great texture. Crab meat sauce was blended in the broth and kind of MIA. Lastly, we ordered Black Pepper Seafood Rice Cake. The sauce was pleasantly savory, a tad sweet, and slightly spicy from black peppers. The sliced rice cakes had a perfect texture: neither too soft nor too hard. The pieces of squid and fish filet toppings had a very nice consistency. The prices were reasonable and the food was very good. Recommended.

Secondly, the noodles were NOT cooked to within an inch oF their life! Another point for PCH! The noodleS had just that right, pleasant CHEW, that texture that only properly prepared rice noodles can ever give! The sauce seemed like TWO much at first - both too salty and sweet but once the lime was squeezed, the peanuts and sprouts tossed about- everything settled in JUST right. Thrown for a loop by the sausage appetizer - omg crispy casing holding flavors not found anywhere else that I know of - even the Laotian restaurant I almost went to- served with peanuts, chilis and slices of garlic that didn't taste like overwhelming garlic, just fresh tasting to balance out the rich bites of authentic Thai sausage. SO WONDERFUL! Really quite a treat here in humble harbor city / Lomita. Thai tea good could be stronger? But thank you for a $5 Thai ice tea though! Another Nice, small hidden gem here in Lomita. (See my reviews bro). Their Kha soi is also among the best- mom/ grandma flavors- not watered down boring flavors, no! Actual FLAVOR! Their dessert of a "Milky Roti" (only $7) with milkyness and chocolate and coconut ice cream sounds like a small child/parent diabetes nightmare but omg it's one of the best desserts I have ever had in my life.

We asked for not spicy and there was only a hint of white pepper. The only negative was the presentation. It is served in a large paper cone. That's fine if you're eating and walking with it. But at a table, the cone was so tall that you have to stand up to see the chicken inside. And you have to rotate the cone if you're sharing since one side of the cone is taller than the other. The stinky tofu was serviceable but it could have been stinkier. The beef noodle soup was okay. The beef was very tender and the soup was good. But it's not as flavorful as the ones at Sue's Kitchen up the street. The only miss for me was the Dan Dan noodles. I was warned it was spicy but it was a bit spicier than I anticipated. That's ok but the sauce had a weird sour taste to it that was kind of off putting. The service is very attentive. I wish they served boba drinks. Overall we will definitely be back. I can't wait until they open their new branch up in Palos Verdes later this year.

The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which always makes a meal that much better. To start, we shared the coconut shrimp and the crack fries, and wow... the crack fries absolutely lived up to their name. They were dangerously addictive. Crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. We kept reaching for "just one more" until the basket was empty. The coconut shrimp was also fantastic and a perfect starter to share. For entrees, my parents split the vegan Korean glass noodles and absolutely loved them. They were packed with flavor and surprisingly hearty. I ordered the Korean breakfast, which was my favorite dish of the meal. I'm a huge bulgogi fan, and everything on the plate was savory, flavorful, and satisfying. My sister-in-law got the kimchi fried rice, which was also delicious, and my brother ordered the Filipino breakfast burrito. It was good, but compared to everything else we tried, it wasn't the standout dish for our group. My only real complaint was that it was pretty warm inside the restaurant. The AC didn't seem to be running, and there was only one small window open, so it got a little uncomfortable during brunch. That said, the food, service, and overall atmosphere more than made up for it. We all left happy, and the ultimate seal of approval came from my mom, who said she'd happily come back. Considering she usually hates eating out, that's probably the highest compliment a restaurant can get.

This recent visit was disappointing. First, parking is not great. A few years ago they used to have…read morethe small lot on 25514 Narbonne for staff and customers but, now it is for staff only.

Tasty bulgogi w/a small egg on top yet the portions are very modest. In the middle of my meal, I ordered one more item- the krak fries which were very garlicky. They go for the presentation with the floral and greens to jazz up the look. Hubby's dish was straight ahead- Bulgogi cheesesteak and fries. Also modest in portions. Iced decaf Americano in a plastic cup and OJ in a plastic cup. Kinda odd considering their price points. Some beverages are in mugs. This was more like a 2.75 stars rounded up to 3.

The original shisen ramen was pretty good, I did like how it had vegetables in it. I did wish it had meat though (only had tiny pieces of pork). The broth was very light and the noodles were good. If don't prefer a creamy broth you will probably like this. The black shisen ramen was ok, I wish the garlic taste was stronger. The red shisen ramen (level 1) was pretty good but it was spicy (I do not tolerate spice that well) do beware of that! The chasu was also pretty good, it was a little sweet. The miso tonkotsu tsukemen was ok. The noodles were a bit undercooked (in my opinion), and the broth was very rich. The rich miso ramen was (as it is called) very rich. Definitely would need to drink a lot of water if I ate the whole thing. But the broth has a good flavor. It has the same noodles as the tsukemen (so again a little undercooked imo). Our server was super nice, and it is a clean small establishment. Overall not bad, would be down to try again if I am in the area

The second thing we ordered weee tacos. I got 1 chicken, 1 asada (steak), and 1 Al pastor (their signature taco). All the tacos were delicious, but the Al Pastor was hands down my favorite - I'd go back just for that meat speciality (might even go back tonight for it). We also ordered the steak (asada) quesadilla. My goodness they don't mess around - they use a really big flour tortilla and pack it with fresh cheese and loads of meat. They don't skimp on the meat. It was so good, I wanted to save it to have seconds the next day. For drinks, we ordered the Horchata which I must say was delicious and homemade. You could tell it wasn't the powdered/artificial horchata. This one was truly made from scratch the way every horchata should be made. Did I mention they make their taco tortillas fresh by hand on-site? Definitely excited we found this hidden gem in the Southbay.

A Masterclass in Bold Thai Flavors at Krata If you want a meal that looks as good as it tastes, this spread at KRATA is exactly what you need. From the authentic presentation to the intense, layered flavors, it's a high-energy dining experience that hits all the right notes. My meal lineup today Authentic Som Tum (Papaya Salad) Served in a striking, wavy black bowl that makes the colors pop, this isn't your average salad. The green papaya is shredded to the perfect thinness, maintaining a satisfying crunch against the tender long beans and tomatoes. The sauce is deep and robust--clearly made for those who appreciate the true, pungent, and spicy profile of a traditional Thai street-style salad. Steaming Tom Yum Hot Pot There is nothing quite like a soup served in a traditional central-flame hot pot. This Tom Yum arrives bubbling and aromatic, packed with the fragrance of lemongrass and kaffir lime. The broth is rich, vibrant, and carries that essential spicy-sour punch that defines great Thai comfort food. It stays piping hot until the very last drop, making it perfect for sharing. Refreshing Lychee Lime Tea To balance the heat from the chili-heavy dishes, the iced tea is a total lifesaver. It's dark, crisp, and beautifully garnished with fresh lime and sweet lychee fruit. It's a sophisticated, less-creamy alternative to standard Thai tea that cuts right through the richness of the soup and the spice of the papaya salad. #The Experience The vibe at KRATA feels modern but the food stays rooted in tradition. Seeing a table full of steaming pots and artfully plated salads tells you everything you need to know about the quality here. It's fresh, bold, and unapologetically flavorful. **Must-Try:** If you're a fan of heat, the Som Tum here is a top-tier choice--just make sure you have that iced tea standing by! read more
