    Grilled Pork Jowl - a yummy appetizer!
    Tiffany P.

    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!

    Khoa Soi
    Jane S.

    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.

    Red Chili Paste Fried Rice
    Nhi T.

    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.

    Free salad as appetizer
    Noba N.

    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.

    Squid leg appetizer
    Kevin C.

    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!

    Papaya Salad, Lao style
    Ed C.

    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.

    Vegetable and Tofu Soup
    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.

    John Kalvin P.

    Were really happy we ate here. Love the food everything is excellent!!! The server too was very nice and kind

    Vanessa V.

    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.

If you've ever had popcorn chicken from a good boba shop, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

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.

After reading some of the…read morereviews, I felt compelled to leave my own because my experience was the complete opposite. A common complaint seems to be that the dim sum portions are "too big." Personally, I don't see how that's a negative. While dining here, I saw families with children enjoying the food without any issues--they simply cut the dumplings into smaller pieces before eating them. Larger portions mean you're getting more for your money, and the quality certainly backs it up. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff stayed on top of everything, from bringing out dishes promptly to keeping water glasses filled and checking in to make sure we were having a great experience. They made us feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable throughout our visit. The restaurant also has a modern, upscale dim sum atmosphere that feels inviting without being pretentious. As for the food, the Shrimp Har Gow and Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai were absolutely fantastic. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and every bite was satisfying. At the end of the day, I'd much rather spend $10 on high-quality, jumbo-sized dim sum that actually fills me up than spend $20 on tiny portions at DTF. For me, Lunasia is an easy 5/5 and has become my favorite spot for dim sum.

Another great spot for casual Korean food in South Bay.

First of all, how can you NOT know what the table ordered when you are the one who took the order? Not only did they go back and forth between tables trying to figure out who ordered what. At a Korean restaurant, you order. You're given your side dishes. Your food comes out when ready. Not here. They wait until most of your order is ready to come out. And the servers had to be told to place the side dishes. While we're on the subject of service, how do you NOT check in on your guests? Not checking if they need anything, if everything was alright? Seriously, hire someone with customer service experience. That was painful. Moving onwards, the food. The entire service thing could have been ignored if the food was great. It wasn't. The soon tofu was like having water mixed with MSG. My family is pretty sensitive to MSG, I understand restaurants using it and when used correctly its great. HOWEVER, lips swelling? If it tastes like the Korean seasoning DASHIDA, you put too much and you shouldn't be allowed in the kitchen of a restaurant. The ambiance, what little they had, was cute. In a trying to hard to be hip and attempting "luxury" at the same time. It's that feeling of, did I really just pay money for this? So utterly disappointed.

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.
