A friend recommended this place and of course I had to try it out . Beware the place is really small and seating is limited, so if you are playing a going away or a get together go somewhere else. The wait time for our meal was at least an hour. The restaurant has a sign posted on the wall full warning customers that they only have cook and wok. Don't come here hangry either lol. We finally received our food and it was really good, but unfortunately the wait time and the size of the establishment played a factor in my rating. Also, if you do decide to go, make sure you order the dinner size because the lunch portion is small. read more

Fresh, tasty, healthy and as spicy as you can handle. Service is great. Plenty parking.

Excellent Thai food! The restaurant has limited seating, but we have rarely had to wait long at all. It is great for takeout also. The curry dishes are especially good. The staff are friendly and remember the orders of regular customers. read more

Absolutely the best Thai food on the planet. Such delicate flavors. How did these wonderful people get all the way to Abilene?! So glad they did! read more

This is probably my favorite Thai restaurant here in Abilene and my go to restaurant. There is a wait after you order, but once you receive your food it's worth every minute. They do not take back your food if it is too hot for your liking so choose carefully. The staff is very friendly even on a busy day unlike other restaurants. I love this establishment and recommend it to everyone. read more

The spring rolls are amazing. This is authentic Thai food. They do not allow you to sit unless everyone is there. If your easily offended probably not the place to go on a busy day. Super nice owner if you understand her. The place is very small. LOVE the food read more

Our first Thai place to try here in Abilene coming from California. Not too bad. The service is good. The wait is average. The waiters are nice. Food is good. read more

Such a great little place to eat! You can call ahead and get takeout. If you don't like spicy food very much just make sure to ask for mild spice. This is definitely one of my favorite take out places!! read more

The best Thai I have had in a very long time! Driving through Abilene and stopped here for dinner with my boyfriend. The Tom Yum soup is delicious and so was the spicy beef salad. The Thai Basil beef is to die for. It's a hole in the wall with humble decor, but the staff is wonderful and the food is spectacular. They have one wok so the food comes out a little bit slow, but it is well worth it! We loved it!! read more

The food was great! You can really tell how fresh the food is as soon as you take your first bite. They only use fresh ingredients. Very friendly staff! read more

I am so happy that Lak is running this new place! She used to be a server at the previous Bangkok Thai restaurant that shut down a while ago. I had been missing that "Bangkok Thai" taste and when I saw that she was running this restaurant, my hope that good Thai food had come back to Abilene was restored! The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The dining area is small but the service was wonderful and friendly. They make the food how you like it and are not shy to ask for constructive criticism. Lak even remembered how I used to order my usual dish back when I used to eat at Bangkok Thai! She is a wonderful lady and super friendly. I will be coming back for more very soon! Go try it if you haven't and bring your family and friends, you won't be disappointed! read more

Love the cucumber salads and pretty much anything else I've ordered from here. The Thai tea is wonderful I would eat here everyday if I could! Wonderful service! read more

Great food, small place. Servic do not expect much. Will definitely come back for the food.. a beef noodle soup and an order of spring rolls including tax $13.80 read more

Ordered pad Thai and panang curry and THE CURRY IS ALL I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT. It was THE BEST panang I have ever eaten. The taste was quintessential however the most memorable was the silky texture that was unbelievable. Unfortunately this is now my gold standard and saddened that I can only have this when passing through Abilene. This is s must have. You won't be disappointed read more

Awesome service and food. The owners make it worthwhile to eat here, she's funny and he's humble. We ordered the yellow curry and the papaya salad. The papaya salad could have used without the lettuce but the flavors were​ spot on. The yellow curry was fantastic, I just wish they put more chicken. read more

It's was really good. Had the Pad Thai with a spring roll, so delicious. It was a lunch special and the serving was just right. Maybe the dinner special is a larger portion. But it was my first time there. read more

We were passing through, and stopped by for a taste...we had the Ka Nam Jeep, sesame chicken , chicken and shrimp Pad Thai, and DUI noodles aka drunken noodles...everything was great!! The ginger in the sesame chicken sauce was perfect. This is a small "hole in the wall" type place definitely worth the visit! Owner is full of energy very nice! Price quality and taste were well balanced! read more

This place is super yummy! We've tried a couple different menu items and everything has been delicious! Highly recommend the spring rolls and the Thai iced tea. Also, everyone is super friendly! This will definitely be a regular place for us. read more

Reasonably priced Thai and Chinese food. Eat-in or take-out. Very small inside and usually packed at lunch but service is attentive. We had pad Thai with tofu, pad woon sen with shrimp and panang curry with chicken. All very tasty for around $8 each. read more

This place was new and I found by browsing Yelp. It's local and great. Very small. We got there at 11 and by the time we left all 6 tables were full. Portions generous enough for leftovers and the food had a wonderful flavor. This will be a place I crave. I can tell. Service was great too. read more

Best Thai in Abilene. Food is generally on point. Just keep in mind it closes earlier than most restaurants.

Amazing thai food in Abilene!! Penang curry with chicken is a favorite dish and theirs does not disappoint. Small-ish seating area, but the food is worth making a trip over to Leggett and South 7th! read more

This food was great! It is a little out of the way but totally worth it. I've never had Tai before, but this place made me glad we stopped to try it. The people are nice, but the place is super small. Go when they aren't busy. Also the food took 20 minutes to come out, which was not a big deal, but might be a different issue for others. As for the food, they ask you what level of spice you'd like which is really nice. read more

I was leery of a Thai restaurant opening in Abilene, especially after having experienced the garbage rules at Ann's Thai. I was incredibly impressed, however, and LOVE their pad Thai and panang chicken. read more

Krua Thai may seem like a hole-in-the-wall, obscure Thai food restaurant in the bustling metropolis that is Abilene, TX, but looks are often deceiving. In no case, is that more true than here at Krua Thai. For starters, the staff is always warm, welcoming, and ready to make your dining dreams become reality. The food is always well prepared and can be ordered to meet your own spicy-food tolerance. I have come to Krua Thai almost every week I've been in Abilene and always left satisfied and smiling. Try Krua Thai, you won't regret it! read more

Small place but always full of customers. I like their simple food. Just the right portion , owner is friendly "talkative" and funny. I ordered today panang curry and my wife beef fried rice. We always ate here. read more

I love this place so much! The owners are so sweet and tell it exactly how it is! I will always come here. My favorite is the Panang Chicken Curry with a Thai tea. read more

You haven't eaten Thai food until you eat at Krua Thai. This is hands-down the best Asian food for 1000 miles! Try the Kuy Teav (chicken noodle soup). It's delicious! Say hi to Tida the cook and Blu (I think that is how you spell his name) the waiter and Tida's dad. read more

Delicious! Haven't tried anything from here that I didn't love. My favorites are the pad thai, panang curry, and seasame chicken. Fried tofu and spring rolls are great apps and sticky rice with mango for dessert. Great prices! I can go here with my husband and get apps, entree and dessert for 30-35$! Staff is very friendly. We always have a great time at Krua Thai! read more

Great food, great service! I ordered the Gang Dang Curry Chicken and it was savory and flavorful, and the chicken was the best. I ordered a 2 out of 4 on the spice scale and was warned that the chilies were hotter than usual. And yes, they were. The curry was great but it was a just a little more than pleasantly spicy for me. I also got the fried spring rolls which were also very good. They were just as fresh as you could want. Our waiter was very personable and offered to help when we said it was our first time there. He was very warm and pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and plan on becoming a regular. The price is very reasonable. It's monetarily equivalent to getting cheap Chinese food, but the quality is so much better. There are not very many tables so the restaurant can only accommodate maybe 20 people at a time. Oh, and it was storming while we ate, and the owner told us we could park our cars under the garage port out back to protect from hail. That was super nice too! read more

See all

I come here quite often and have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The food always tastes fresh and amazing! I usually get the red curry with chicken and it has become one of my favorite dishes. I always find myself craving it and make my friends go with me to get it. read more

One of the best Thai food places I've ever been to! The owner is so nice, and remembers who I am even when I haven't been there in a while. Definitely recommend the Pad Se Eww, Red Curry, Yellow Curry, pretty much all curry, and wash down with some cold Thai tea! And if she has shrimp rolls, get them!! They go quick! read more

Wow so I lucked out stumbling onto this place while in Abilene. I couldn't believe I was having such delicious Thai food in the middle of Texas! The restaurant is tiny but both nights (yes I went two nights in a row) I was seated right away. I absolutely love good peanut sauce and I had to try it and was not disappointed! A lot of places are too heavy on the sweet coconut milk but Krua has it just right. Just enough spice to cut through the sweetness. I had no issues with the service. The server was very friendly and remembered me. You do have to wait a few minutes for your food but the food is cooked to order and comes out fresh and delicious! I was also pleased to see that they use good cuts of chicken, not the sometimes sketchy looking stuff you can get at lower level Asian restaurants. Overall, this will become a mainstay for me when my work travels bring me back to Abilene! read more

We were just passing through and gave this place a try and glad we did! Small space but I was comfortable and felt like they must be economical and focus on the food and not making the place too fancy. A little warm but it made me feel like we were in Thailand :) Nearly every table was full at 6:30 on a Wednesday evening! Kids loved the Satay and so did I. Pad Thai was very good too. My son ordered the Gang Dang and I ate most of it, so good! Would definitely return again if we go through Abilene. read more

Definitely a small business feel, but food was really good. I was not expecting to find a place like this in Abilene, TX, but am glad I did!

Excellent Thai food! I don't believe the food could be improved at all. Excellent food, friendly service, best Thai in town.

Awesome thai food. Best Thai food in abilene for sure. Service is awesome and love their food. Always get the Thai spicy and it never disappoints. Pad Thai, basil chicken, everything is good there! read more

The space is small and almost always packed. With no real good Asian styled eateries in Abilene anymore, they all went downhill hard, this place is refreshing. The food is good and the service is as well. The owner always remembers what I order too. The food always comes out hot and fresh. Also try their Thai tea/coffee and sticky rice. read more

Something has changed here, The Pad Thai that I had tonight was burned and terrible tasting. Did they lose their chef?

Been here several times now and really like this place. Each dish has their own distinct flavor. Not a everything tastes the same type place. Not covered up with salt or msg either which is a real plus for Abilene. read more
