| - My friends and I visited Krua Thai for dinner after being told how great it is. I've been eating quite a bit of Thai lately, but that would never stop me from trying out a new place!
It's a small place, so you may have to wait a bit during peak hours. It also leads to the staff needing to flip tables a little quicker once you've finished eating, but I didn't have a problem with that. I ordered my usual, Shrimp Pad Thai, but this time went with the "Thai Spicy" level of heat. The waiter laughed and said, "Oh we had some hot spices this year, I almost died"...coming from a thai guy I was pretty nervous. It came out hot and spicy as expected. The thai spicy level is sneaky hot, meaning it's not hot right off the bat with the first bite but gradually goes from stinging your lips to "what the heck are you feeding me" over the course of the dish. By the time I was done, I had a nice sweat on my cheeks and on my forehead. Our waiter joked again and said, "oh you aren't sweating enough, here's some chili sauce for you". Funny guy!
Overall, very enjoyable food, great selection and good price. All of us were happy with the food we ordered. The only down side was it was a little small, and got a bit loud from all the people in the restaurant. This would not deter me from going back, and I'm sure we'll be there again soon. I'd recommend Krua Thai to anyone looking for great Thai food with a small party.
