Came with a friend to try out a new restaurant and because we had a coupon! Walking in, the ambiance is quite pretty and the restaurant is spacious. The restaurant is also decorated for the holidays, which is very cute!The service was good as well as the staff was attentive and filled up our water periodically while checking up on us!For food, I ordered the red pumpkin curry with chicken with a side of sticky rice! My friend got the red curry with jasmine rice, and we for cream cheese taffies to share! The portions are quite large- definitely enough for another meal to take home as leftovers.Food summary:Cream cheese taffies 10/10I love these! Very crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside- a great blend for the filling of crab meat and onion! The sweet and sour sauce on the side was nice touch!Red pumpkin curry with chicken 8/10I liked the curry and it was just the right amount of spice for me! Creamy and soupy with a ton of assorted veggies!Overall, I would definitely come back for the cream cheese taffies and to try out the noodle dishes!

The presentation and customer service at KRUA Thai were amazing. The ambiance was cool and calm and we went on a very slow Saturday morning. they had an extensive menu that covered both Western and Thai cuisine. we ordered from the more "American-styled" side of the menu, and like I said, the presentation was beautiful. but after about 40 minutes in a very empty restaurant, I would've expected things to taste better. The pancakes were very burnt. As though they purposely charred all sides of the pancakes, the burnt sugar taste was not exactly pleasurable. They served their eggs in a fluffy matter, which was good, we ordered scrambled, and that is what we got. I'm not complaining because they were the best-tasting thing on the table. We got the fried chicken sandwich that was served in both a burnt and undercooked waffle with a mountain of coleslaw that overpowered everything else. which also didn't taste good. I asked a few of my friends who shared with me that their Thai menu did taste significantly better but also shared their dissatisfaction with the brunch menu.In my opinion, this is a classic case of spreading yourself thin with a menu that covers too many bases. I'm not saying they shouldn't diversify but if you intend to have something on the menu that people are going to order it should taste good.

I've walked by this place so many times and finally got to stop in! Interior is cute and clean, with lots of colors. The service is quick and friendly. Good for large groups! The space is much larger than you would think bc it snakes towards the back. We ordered the Thai fried chicken, crispy pad Thai, Tom kha, and Thai tea. The pros: The mains' flavors were really bold and yummy! I liked the seasoning a lot. Although some could say it's a bit too salty, I think they balance it well with sweet and sour. The Tom kha was my favorite! The cons: The chicken was pretty meh texture-wise, and I think we ordered poorly with the crispy pad Thai because I prefer chewy noodles over fried ones. I think for the price overall, the quality of the meats they use should be a little higher. The Thai tea also tastes a bit watered down. Overall, I think this place is solid for a casual night out. I'd come again to try the pad see ew, but I don't think I'll put it in my rotation quite yet.

I definitely do not recommend KRUA Thai. I made a reservation via Open Table, was super excited for a night out in SF, drove 2 hours to the restaurant, showed up only to discover they are closed. Did the restaurant call to tell me they had to close unexpectedly? Nope. Did they have all my info as I made a reservation? Yup. Clearly they do not care about their customers. This lack of caring for customers is surely reflected in the quality of food they serve, which I am also quite sure is below standards.

Ordered delivery and was quite disappointed. They forgot the rice entirely and we had paid extra for the brown rice. The Colored Duck was not boneless and was not even in the dish. The duck consisted of an overcooked leg tossed into a separate container. It's like they didn't even care about providing quality or meeting expectations. Most disappointing Thai I've had in San Francisco.

Really enjoyed KRUA! Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the yellow chicken curry and beef drunken noodles. Food has great flavor and the servers were quick and kind. Decor was super cute!

I was disappointed. When I came in, people greeted us with a smile. When I looked at the menu, I thought it was going to be a cute fusion place with creative Thai food. We ordered two dishes and they were both disappointing. They were tooooo salty, and that made other flavors less prominent. I had to drink a lot of water afterwards. I will definitely not come back.

Walking by the Mission District, my eyes were caught by the glowing neon sign of Krua Thai. I thought it was a small cafe but it turned out to be a charming restaurant. Their walls splash in pink and green and the wait was not too long. The restaurant gets narrower inside and they are adorned with wine bottles.I sat by the window looking outside. They had a wide selection of food, but I found the menu to be confusing. I wasn't sure if some dishes were add-one or entrees based on how they placed their items. I had requested to provide a couple of minutes before I ordered, but I was bothered constantly to make a decision. I chose spicy basil fried rice with tofu and vegetable.The food was not as spicy as I had hoped. I think I would have tried the other dishes but I was rushed to make a decision. The cleanliness in the bathroom could use a lot of work.

We were looking for a quick Thai spot for dinner and found KRUA. Parking anywhere on Valencia can be difficult and somehow we thought a Thursday night would be different but not at all. The restaurant is a bit confusing because it also has signs of the "Raw Sugar Factory" or something and upon entry you see a board that has menu items like "pancakes, waffles, etc" but it's actually the Thai restaurant. They sat us immediately at the only booth by the window and gave us time to look at the menus. Now the menus were super confusing to read because the prices aren't immediately next to the dish name, you have to look at the key with the proteins at the top of the menu to connect it to your dish and find the price. That alone is also fine, except they have different keys for different menu items so you might need to ask to clarify how much your actual meal will be. I ordered a Thai iced tea and chicken pad see ew. My friends got the special noodle plate and the tom kha soup with chicken. The portions here are HUGE which is really nice for the Bay Area prices. The pad see ew was also really good - they added a bit of spice which I loved. I can't speak for the other plates but apparently the Tom kha soup is also delicious and worth coming back for. The waitresses were very kind but would disappear in the kitchen a bit too long so we'd wait a bit more to ask for extra things and the check. Not a huge deal though since we weren't in that big of a rush and everyone was really friendly. Overall, hits the spot for Thai cravings just a bit of a mission to get to and reading the menu might give you a headache.

Worst Pad See You I ever had. The noodles are mushy it's like eating mash potatoes and super oilly and probably 5 pieces of chicken. Will never come back. Cost me about $25 just to uber this. Waste my money
