    We're sharing Pad Thai and Pad Woonsen.

    Krua Thai is the best Thai restaurant in town, and my favorite. The food is consistently delicious, and there is quite a variety to choose from. We have been friends with the owner, Lak, for years, and she is a wonderful person. The dining room is very small, so it can be hard to get a table. She doesn't accept any groups over 8. Be aware that Thai food can't be very spicy when ordered that way. I used to order 4 star, the spiciest. And it was hot! Now I order 1 star. My stomach just can't handle it anymore. And you can't return any food that you order too spicy. You ordered it, it's yours! Again, the food is delicious, and well worth a visit by you!

    Thai Fried Rice

    I'll start by saying the food was "edible" I have definitely had worse. My order: Chicken pad thai Thai fried rice w. Chicken I ordered my food in there "hottest flavor level 4 thai hot" I asked for double that because I really enjoy spicy food. Like really spicy. It was spicy but not what I was hoping for. The food was very bland in flavor compared to other restaurants of the same genre. I didn't even finish the fried rice. (Took 3 bites and did not continue) the rice and pad thai both had this bland taste that I just couldn't shake. Service in general seemed to be fine other than the abnormally long wait for a takeout order. My order took quite awhile to be completed about 40-45 minutes and I called in 30 minutes ahead of my time of arrival to the restaurant. The restaurant was not super busy. As for the atmosphere they had several off putting (almost rude) messages and signs all over the walls basically stating on one almost word for word "if you don't like the rules here then leave" So you could do worse eating here but I promise you could absolutely do better.

    I always come to Kris Thai I found this gem a while back and I'm so happy that it's still around the food is amazing and I've never had an issue with an order! Great little hole in the wall and the service is always friendly being it is family owned.

    Multiple people recommended Krua Thai in Abilene and I can sure see why! One of them mentioned to grab it to go and I certainly didn't understand this was a thing. There are only about 4 to 5 tables inside, and the staff will not move them together to accommodate larger parties. Your whole party must be present to be seated but you can tell they certainly prefer you to take your food to go. Regardless, we had seven of us who chose to be seated. You can definitely tell they are authentically Thai based on this level or lack thereof service. I love that the bottom of every page in the menu states "food cannot be returned if too spicy". We ordered a little bit of everything- fried spring rolls, fried shrimp rolls, fried tofu, pad see ew, pad, Thai, panang curry, and Thai basil. Everything was incredibly delicious and this is one of the best Thai food restaurants I've had in all of Texas. Their Thai tea is one of the best quality teas I've had the pleasure of drinking, although it wasn't as sweet as I would prefer. I would definitely chuckle given a Thai iced tea is 2.99 while a Thai tea with no ice is 4.99. We got everything with mild spice as we were certainly scared off between the signs around the restaurant and in the menu. It was the perfect spice for me as someone who enjoys a tiny kick. When you are finished, you pay at the front and they do not take any type of tap payments. I will definitely be back every time I pass through Abilene! Although I'll likely take it to go next time!

    We have an exchange student from Thailand this year so we wanted to learn more about her homeland food. I had never experienced Thai food but I have to say it's wonderful. This small place was buzzing with to go orders , all the tables were full and yet we got great service and awesome food. I am a heat sissy so I ordered mild and it was still warm.... But so much flavor and goodness! We will be back !

    House rules!  She runs a tight ship!

    In town for buisness and went to yelp to look at my dinner options. That's when I stumbled upon…read more little ninja. Like any normal Person I click and go straight the reviews and let me tell you I knew right then and there, where I was going for dinner. Another reviewer named JOE told a story of a wonderful little twink behind the counter named Miguel, it intrigued me. Who is this mysterious Miguel? So me and my buddy walk in and who did I lock eyes with? You guessed it, my knight in shining armor, Miguel. I approached him and said "I've heard so much about you", he blushes. I leaned in closer, whispered in his ear "I'll take 2 dragon rolls....miguel". He looks back at me and in the softest voice he told me "don't worry, the drinks on me today". Oh Miguel, I wish it was. But me and my buddy really enjoyed our food, heard the boba teas are delicious. Maybe miguel can boba teas nuts in his mouth.

    I hate leaving a bad review especially on a place that I enjoyed previously. I'm not sure what…read moreexactly changed in the quality of their food, but we ordered $60 worth just to end up hungry afterwards. Calamari had a foul taste to it. Small portion size with big chunky fried pieces. Miso soup was okay, but wasn't packaged well ended up spilling on the ride home. Genuinely didn't enjoy the four rolls we ordered this time. Got the TNT Roll and California Roll we typically order, but didn't live up to the memory. We arrived at the time our order was supposed to be ready, but had to wait over 30 minutes for the pick up order. Floor was pretty dirty inside, but the tables were wiped down well. There are better options for sushi in Abilene. I do think Little Ninja's is comparable to running to the grocery store at this point. On a silly side note, several of the previous reviews highlight the lore and appeal of meeting Miguel at Little Ninja... I think that might be the most noteworthy aspect of this restaurant.
