Off the charts! So overjoyed to have found this authentic thai cuisine. The yellow curry spices are perfection and the richness of the thickness and the contents (veg and chicken) of the curry made for such a nourishing experience. We also ordered pad Thai. Which I rarely do but I'm so happy that I did because I know that they do it right. Flavors distinct and on point. The vibe inside of this little gem is of the highest resonance. Fresh spring rolls extra yum, the sauces: the plum and the peanut. Best I've had in fact the fresh spring rolls are the best I've had and I've had some pretty excellent Thai food. The fried spring rolls were also a tasty treat. Thank you, bless you and sending all abundance for the amazing delights you provide. read more

First off, the customer service is so warm and welcoming! Always leaving with a smile. The pad Thai here is my GO TO, portion size has my husband and I fed for two days and it still taste great re heated, The meat is always bomb too. This is my third trip here and it's already my fav Thai place :) read more

Ordered a few items. And highly disappointed with the raw chicken received. Looking at the ratings and reviews I expected different. read more

Krua Thai - 5. Garlic Wings - Thai Near Me - Chula Vista, California

As they say you can't judge anything by its size. This place is nestled between two other business and if you drive over 25 miles an hour you might miss it. It's small but don't let that fool you. I started with the papaya salad (#5 on the spiciness level). We also ordered drunken noodles and pork Pad Gaprow Kai Dow (#5 on the spiciness. It is a stir fried ground meat with soy sauce, basil, bell pepper, with a fried egg over steamed rice. I needed the thai tea to level the spiciness on my taste buds. The delicious drunken noodles are "thicc" fat noodles with a sweet and spicy sauce. Perhaps tamarind? Each noodle and rice dish comes with a choice of vegetable only, tofu, or meat. Dishes with vegetables only have a cheaper base price. An addition of tofu mocks up the price, which goes even higher should you choose meat with your dish. A gem in Chula Vista! read more

Krua Thai - Thai Near Me - Chula Vista, California

So yummy!! I was craving pad thai and little did I know there was a tiny Thai place nearby. I called and ordered takeout and the wait was only 20 minutes! You can choose what spice level you want on a scale of 1-10. I got a 6 and it was perfect. The thai tea was also very delicious and creamy. The serving of food is so big-- you can feed about three people with one plate. It's extremely worth it! The parking lot is super small, and there are other businesses next door so parking is limited. They have a table in front of their door where they take and give orders so you don't have to walk inside. I will be back!! read more

Great place to fill that Thai food craving. Tom yum was good. And the spring rolls were super refreshing and yummy. Would come again.

This little place produced good food. We ordered crab cheese wontons, spring rolls and two entrees. One combination rice and combination noodle dish. Very pleased with quality and price. read more

Saw this place has a great rating and decided to give it a try. They're open for delivery and togo only due to the pandemic. I have been drinking since I'm on my vacation so I decided to get a delivery from them. I ordered a Lao style papaya salad and I'm a huge papaya salad fan. Pretty disappointed the salad is very salty and it's soaked in sauce.. the other order was a drunken noodles with mock duck. The mock duck is pretty tasty but noodles are way too sweet. I specially ordered my food as Thai hot and they're more like a mild to medium spicy level for me. And if you see an order from a hotel and a room number on it, you should probably put in some plastic forks or chopsticks. They were no forks no chopsticks no napkins in my order. And I had to walk to a McDonald's to get some so I can eat my food. Pretty disappointed!! read more

My fiance's first cheat day was on Sunday and since I felt like having Thai food, we came here based on the ratings and proximity. There are only four of five tables at this restaurant, so the space is pretty tiny. I saw a lot of people pick up their orders, so it kind of reminds me of one of my favorite Thai restaurants in SD. We shared the money bag appetizer, nam tok beef, and drunken noodles with shrimp. Spicy levels were 8 for the nam tok and 7 for the noodles. The money bags came out first and they were stinking cute and delicious! They were deep fried and stuffed with ground chicken and shrimp, accompanied with a sweet chili sauce. The nam tok salad and drunken noodles came out shortly afterwards. The salad had an abundance of beef and was very spicy and flavorful. I enjoyed it very much! The noodles were also very tasty! They definitely add a lot of spices to their dishes and everything I had was really good. We decided that when we come back, we would stick to level 7 next time! read more

Oh man, this place is a such a great find for us. My husband and I LOVE getting our Thai fix from here. We used to go to Convoy for Thai food so it's awesome we found a place more local to us. Truthfully, we haven't explored much of the menu because we keep getting the same damn thing over and over again. Panang curry: 5/5! I have no idea what they do differently here but this dish is freaking delicious. I don't know if all places cook panang curry with peanut butter in it so maybe thats their secret weapon. We either get it with chicken or tofu. Pad Thai: 5/5 I think the flavors really stand out in this dish with their pad Thai sauce. It's an easy favorite. Tom Kha soup: 4/5 I'm really picky with vegetables so I'm just a little biased on this... I definitely gave my husband a lot more of the cabbage to eat lol the soup is on point with the flavors -- sweet and sour, creamy, with a teeny kick. Eventually we will explore the other items on the menu, it's just what we like from here is so good, we keep getting it again. *** currently only doing take-out read more

I don't know how this place has good reviews. I placed an online order & when I arrived for pick up, they had not started my order. I would have let that slide but then, they were out of my of my items and then said I would have to pick something else, no refund. Once I got home, it just wasn't good, every item I had wasn't good in my opinion. Chicken was dry and a lot of it seemed stale. I rarely review when I get a bad experience, but this was just entirely bad. read more

My family came here while we were on a trip to San Diego. We just wanted some thing that was close and affordable, but this place went beyond that.. I'm very picky about my Thai food, and this place was so so so so good! They made her order perfectly, it was very prompt, the food was very fresh and delicious! I like to eat, vegetarian/vegan, and they were able to modify our meal to our liking. We will definitely go here again on our next visit to San Diego.. read more

Tim and I were in the area and were both craving some Thai. Searched on yelp and this place has a pretty good review. We were the only guests and a very sweet lady greeted us with such a big smile and enthusiasm. We were hungry and ordered with our eyes. We had: Cheesy Crab Crispy Fried Calamari Tomkha Soup Cup Pad See Eew with Chicken, Calamari, Shirmp and Chicken Green Curry with Chicken Everything tasted so good! But the highlight has got to be the Pad See Eew and the Cheesy Crab. And the Calamari was so light and very well seasoned. The only issue is parking. Literally they had only 3 parking spot to their name. We were lucky to be the only two dining at that time. read more

Servings so big I had to force feed myself to finish before I could walk out full. There's something magical about the lady who takes orders, seats people and serves the food here. She's maybe the friendliest person I've ever seen, with a big smile and greeting for everyone who walks in the door. The wait time was good and the food was great. I hope to be back soon when I'm down this way. read more

Food is good. Friendly service. It's take out only. There potions are decent for the price

You want mouthful of flavor in every bite this is your place to go or dine in staff is friendly and although small it's very clean and well managed and again the food is delicious even reheated leftovers read more

I like to order from here when I stay in during the weekends and am too lazy to cook. After all, they have a very convenient online ordering system through Yelp. As soon as I place my order, I usually receive a confirmation that it has been received. The system gives them 30 minutes to complete the order, but by the time I arrive 15 minutes or so later it's usually ready. My go-to has always been the tried and true *Yellow Curry* and then the *Panang Curry* every so often. Each dish is $8.95 with the option to add protein for $1 more. I always choose tofu since their curry paste with coconut milk is so immensely rich and creamy. Plus, they are not shy adding in extra veggies and protein. Best bang for your buck! My meal comes in a tall plastic container and sometimes lasts for 4 meals! The plastic container is also very sturdy and easily reusable. As a final note, their *Mango Sticky Rice* ($6.95) was a delight when I ordered it last. Not the biggest helping of sticky rice, but plenty of fresh mango slices on either side of your mound of rice. The aunties here are always very pleasant and I am always greeted with a courteous smile. You're pretty much getting a home-cooked meal since they prep everything in the back using a good ole' kitchen stove with beat up pots and pans. Parking isn't the best for their restaurant, but I've never had too much of an issue since I come near closing (9pm). read more

Krua Thai - Mango sticky rice $6.95 (carry out) - Thai Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been here multiple times and since Covid they've only been offering pick up only. I recommend to call in your order because they do get busy. I usually order the papaya salad Laos style, curry, chicken pad Thai, or beef salad. The food is full of flavor and the portions are worth the price. There are so many items to choose from. I keep coming back to this spot because the way they make the papaya salad reminds me of how they used to make it back home. read more

Showed up at 5:30pm, during open hours, and they were not open. Drove up here after work for nothing. Really disappointed after a long day.

Great Thai take out with the friendliest staff. The food is their calling card, fresh, spiteful and delicious.

It's great but make sure you come in on time . we've noticed they are very picky about serving food 20-30 min prior their closing time , I understand but .... just make sure you come with enough time or plan for take out . It's a tiny place as well but we always seem to find seating . Being so close to were we live we have become regulars by now ! Mango sticky rice Pad see ew (spellcheck!) All their curries and pineapple fried rice . read more

This place is my favorite Thai restaurant in Chula Vista! Parking really does suck here. There's only a handful of parking spaces in the front and it's hit or miss. There's street parking but that isn't guaranteed either. There was even a time where I was craving Krua Thai but had to pass because I couldn't find a parking after circling around 3 times. Everything I've ordered here is so tasty. Everything I've ordered here is so delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The staff here is very friendly too. For appetizers I either order papaya salad or Tom yum soup. The papaya salad is mouth watering good and has so much flavor. I order the Tom yum with vegetables or tofu and it tastes so good. It has the right amount of sourness. You definitely can't go wrong with either of these. For entrees I always get a curry and noodles. I either get the panang or yellow curry and pad Thai or drunken noodles. The curry has sooo much flavor and comes with a lot of sauce. That's definitely a plus for me because if the noodles are a little dry or if I wanna add some curry sauce I can. The pad Thai noodles are delicious if you are in the mood for sweet noodles. Drunken noodles are also good if you are craving something not so sweet. For dessert I always get the sticky rice and mango. The rice is cooked perfectly and has the right amount of sweetness along with the condensed milk that's added to it. The mango adds the perfect touch of fruity sweetness and both of them just complement each other so well. The spices here are accurate! I've been to other places nearby and the other places spice level 2 was like a 10! Never again. You will not have that problem here. I will keep coming back here for as long as they're open! read more

I love me some spicy drunken noodles and this place did NOT disappoint!! I'll definitely be back!!

We Enjoyed our visit here today very much. I was visiting family and they had never had Thai food so we decided to try Krua Thai Cuisine. The food was very flavorful and the experience was good for the most part, but there were a couple things that made me give them a 4.0 rating. The server was t very helpful in answering questions for people who had not eaten Thai food before and was almost snarky in answering questions. One of the dishes was requested with a heat of 5 (on a scale of 1-10 (but it didn't have any heat to it at all. Overall, it's worth trying and a good deal for the cost, though. read more

Although I always try to have an open mind to try other things, I can't help but order pad thai LOL! I picked up Tofu Pad thai and it was good! The portion was plentiful and for the price. The spiciness I requested was right where I expected it to be. If you are in the area and craving for some pad thai, this place won't disappoint :) read more

Food: I got the pad Thai (shocker!) and everyone else got different plates. All of the dishes were good, no complaints. The spiciness Level is perfect, a "4" is good for me. They also had these really cool glasses for the iced coffee. Little owl shapes, I thought that was interesting. Portions were decent also. Atmosphere: Probably the worst part, because there is no AC and the place is pretty small. It was a warm day and if it wasn't for the big fan behind us, it would have been pretty miserable. Also, there are probably only like 6 tables in the place, it's more of a "take it to go" place. Also, it is in a SMALL strip mall so both times I have been here, we had to park across/down the street. Price: Very inexpensive, probably 8-10$ for a full meal with a drink. Decent portions, but not SO much food that it is not edible. Service: We came in during the lunch rush so I felt pretty bad for the one lady working the tables and register. She still had a good attitude for working during a busy time of the day. The ladies out back were cooking and they seemed to be pretty jovial ladies. Overall: As far as Thai food is concerned, this place is pretty good. I think it is best as a pickup place. As long as the weather is nice (not too hot) and the place isn't packed, then you can eat inside. read more

Krua Thai - Cool owl glasses! - Thai Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This place is a hidden gem. It's my go to spot to get an authentic Thai fix. Parking is a bit on the crazy side since they share it with 3 other businesses so I usually try to park on the street to avoid that. The place itself is pretty small, but it's well worth the wait or just order take out. If you live in a certain mile ratio they deliver for a small fee. Food wise, their yellow and green curry are my favorite and I usually get level 6 or 7 on the spice spectrum. Portions are pretty large, specially when it comes to the noodles and fried rice. Each item I've tried is flowing with delicious flavor and seasoned perfectly. They have some of the best Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee. It will wake you right up. Staff is friendly and welcoming and the service is quick and efficient. If you have a sweet tooth, their mango sticky rice is the way to go! read more

This was our first time at this place. Although there were limited parking and tables for seating, the food was delicious with generous portions (almost authentic Thai food!). We will be back to this place again! read more

While the flavor is good, I asked for slightly spicy, and this was definitely not a level two. It was so hot I could barely eat it. The only reason why I did was because I had already paid for it and was too stubborn to let it go to waste. The wait was a bit long for it too. Willing to try again WITHOUT the spice. read more

Amazing Thai food restaurant. Can't go wrong with the drunken noodles or the pad Thai. The fried rice was also delicious. I've gotten the mango and sticky rice for desert one time and I can't make an order without getting it as well anymore. Would give them 4 thumbs up if I could read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! They never disappoint, I've moved to another state now & I'm super sad lol Garlic edemame is a MUUUSSSTTT!

My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in the South Bay. I am a huge fan of both their pad thai and drunken noodles.

When all you can Pad Thai is think about... this is where you want to come. Everything is good here. The prices are fair, the flavors are delicious and the portions are generous. One of my favorite dinners is Drunken Noodles (spicy rice noodles) paired with Tomka Soup (the creamy, slightly sweet soup), Papaya Salad and a Thai Iced Tea mixed with extra cream. If you haven't tried the sticky rice before, that also is an all time favorite, paired with Spicy Basil and/or Yellow Curry. Definitely a place you want to add into your rotation for take-out! read more
