Krachai Thai Kitchen

Very good food forgot they had the coconut soup. Need to go back and try it. Service was very good

Yum!!! We tried this place tonight for the first time and it was amazing! We just returned from a trip to Bangkok a few months ago and this place satisfied the craving! The spicy basil chicken is really good and spicy eggplant as well. I don’t think we got everything we ordered, but not being able to understand your server is part of a good foreign atmosphere :)

My husband and I love, love, love Krachai Thai Kitchen… We first had dinner here one evening and it was soo nice and quiet the day we went. The food was absolutely delicious… We recently discovered the lunch specials one day while dining in for lunch… We also love to order and pick up our food on those busy days… The turnaround time for the food being ready is incredible. We are thankful they are in the neighborhood and prices are very reasonable. Every time I try something new, I am never disappointed. My favorite… Tofu Pad Thai, and Tofu Pad See Ewe…

Mighty fine and authentic Thai food at reasonable prices and excellent service although language barrier was a bit of a challenge. Reminded me of my experience in Thailand. They are excellent at dialing spice level to your needs.

I have ordered krachai pineapple fried rice and I liked it very much. I even went again in a week and ordered the same thing. Price is also not bad

When I am in the mood for Thai food, I’m happy this place is nearby. I have tried many different items from the menu and liked them all. This is quality food with fresh ingredients delivered to your table very fast. At lunch, we’ve gotten in and out in 30 minutes. But the very best part of the restaurant is the family that runs it. They are nice and accommodating and I enjoy supporting their business.

Excellent Thai food at a great price. The food felt more authentic than your usual Thai place — medium spicy is spicy :) so watch out

The food here is great… First time coming here. Very impressed with the pot stickers. We even ordered a second plate. My friend ordered the curry and I ordered the spicy noodles. We both got a spice level of four and let me tell ya. This place makes their food SPICY. So order accordingly. The food was fresh and came out quick. The spicy noodles could of used maybe a little more veggies. The only reason we took off a star is because the service was crappy. And the tables were dirty (we had to move to three tables before we found a semi-​decent clean one). The hostess was on her snapchat when she was ringing us up and having us pay. The cook seemed annoyed that we wanted a second order of pot stickers. Otherwise, it would of been a ⁵⁄₅.

This place is not that great.
Don’t waste your time, find another thai place. There are several better in the valley.

Great food, good service. Prices are reasonable and food portions are nice. I go for Lunch and the specials are great!

The best Thai food outside Thailand… My fiancé and I were in Thailand for 1 month last year this time around and wanted to eat the real deal again, after we were disappointed by a Thai place in Tucson 3 weeks ago.
We just were here and had to post right away. At the looks of the pictures what other people had posted we choose to come here.
The service was very friendly, it was clean and the food came out fast and was served hot. We took one bite of the fried rice and pad thai and we thought we were back in Thailand. So delicious, big portions and very good price. (of course the Thailand prices would have been even more awesome hahaha) We had eaten Thai around Europe after our trip to Thailand to hunt for the real deal and we found it here in Phoenix.
Will come back for sure. Keep up the good quality!
ps. oh yeah we also had sticky rice with mango to go! great taste (make the portion of sticky rice a little bigger please :).)
p. p. s. OK so this happened today!
We went back for lunch! OMG this is already our favorite spot that I bet we will do more then once in a month. Thank you for making amazing food and always being friendly.

There for lunch. Like the lunch menu and the pricing. Food tastes very good and the quantity is pretty good. Gets a 4 star instead of a 5 is because we had to wait for long last time for the waitress to come back and take the order from us.
The thai coffee and tea are amazing here. Try it out.

Friends and I decided on Thai food. Decided to try an entirely new place.
Clean.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Everything I ordered and sampled was excellent. Food was hot when it got to the table.
They will have a return customer.

We discovered this place a few months ago and have been back several times since. While I’m sure there is better Thai food to be found out there, maybe even here in the Valley, they’ve yet to fail in satisfying us when in the mood for good Thai food.
Personally I tend to get the curries — I rotate between the musamun, red and panang curries — and they are always satisfying. I’m something of a spice fanatic but I will say that if you tell these guys you want your curry spiced «Thai hot» they take it seriously. Good stuff! My wife has tried various dishes here as well, from the pad see ew to the lard nha and everything in between — and has yet to be let down. The kids’ menu is simple and the portions are generous, our 5 year old has even asked for this place by name before!
The location and ambiance is simple enough. Nothing fancy but it is clean and pleasant. It tends not to be too busy either, at least not the times we have come. The service can be inconsistent depending on who is working, though the only complaints we’ve had is with some of the younger girls who seem to have their friends over and spend more time giggling and gossiping in the corner than attending to customers.
Recommended if you’re looking for good Thai food (or just something different) in the North Valley.

This Lil place is amazingly good. I ordered the beef noodles and my god it was great. And it was only $ 8.95. WOW!
I will totally come again.

It was a take out kinda day and Thai is good comfort food what can I say. A friend recommended this place and it’s not far from work so stopped there on my way home today for dinner. I had the stir fried eggplant with chicken which I saw on another review and boy was it delish! The chicken and eggplant really complimented each other and the sauce was tasty. I also got some chicken panang and although it was a bit watery in my opinion, it was quite flavorful, I just added extra rice to soak up some of the sauce. The larb was probably some of the best larb I have tasted. They didn’t ask, and I forgot to mention, the spice level so everything came sans heat. Next time, and there will def be a next time, I will make sure to inquire about a spice level, maybe start with a 3 to be safe.

This restaurant is small but with a nice décor and is clean at the time of this review. A grade «A» Maricopa Health Inspection Sign is posted in the window.
We started with the fresh vegetable rolls that came out quickly with two tasty dipping sauces. The rolls were very crisp and very fresh and were stuffed with crisp iceberg lettuce salad and a basil leaf.
I had the stir fried eggplant with chicken. My plate had a nice selection of crisp fresh vegetables and moist chicken but the sauce was on the salty side and was a little more heat and salt than other flavors. I did order the heat level four out of five and I do have to say the number four is on the fiery side so most people will want to go lower than four on the heat scale.
My husband had the phad kaprow with beef. I tasted one piece of beef and it was tender and overall good but lacked enough basil.
Service was speedy.

I plan to try them again and pick different dishes that might be the specialties.

While at work, if I ever go out to eat, I usually stick with the same things over and over. I like what I like… what can I say? Today I wanted something a little bit different though and I decided to scope out some Asian places on Unilocal.I decided to come on down here and try this restaurant out. It had a couple of things going for it that had me intrigued. It was only about a 5 minute drive from work, the pictures of the food looked good, plus I had only had Thai food once or twice before and wanted to sample some, stat! I placed my order over the phone for an order of Spicy Noodles with Beef and an order of Egg Rolls. I drove down, walked in, paid the lady my money and was on my way. Here is how everything was…
Egg Rolls– $ 2.95 for 3. These were small egg rolls with a vegetable filling. Eh… they were just ok. They were crunchy at first when you bit in, but then it was tough to fully chomp through a piece cleanly. I had to bite in and then kind of tear off a piece because they were a bit chewy. They weren’t horrible, but I would not get them again. The sauce they serve them with was good at least!
Spicy Noodles with Beef– When I placed my order, the lady asked how spicy I wanted it within a scale of 1 – 5. I went with a level 3 which I thought would be decently hot/​spicy. I opened the lid of the container and was impressed with what I saw. It was a decent sized mound of noodles, bell peppers, onions, fried egg pieces and some beef. The beef reminded me of a Korean bulgogi kind of. It was really thin, seasoned well (soy sauce, I think) and tender. The noodles were plentiful and had a great texture to them. They were kind of hard to eat with a plastic fork though. The veggies were tasty. The only bad thing about this dish was there was a bed of lettuce on the bottom of all the good stuff. This lettuce wilted up and turned into a cabbage almost. I picked all of that out and set it aside. Flavor of the whole dish was good. It was not too spicy… I would order a level 4 or 5 spiciness when I come back.
Overall, it was good! It was a break from the norm and I did enjoy my lunch. Next time here, I’ll get a little spicier noodles and I should be good to go. Service was friendly and my order was ready right when I told them I would pick it up! I appreciated the promptness!

Just another mediocre Thai restaurant in the valley. We ordered the spicy noodles and tom yum soup. The soup was a little bland, which it surprising considering how many ingredients go in it! The mushrooms were added into the soup whole and were practically raw which made them pretty unappetizing to eat. The Spicy noodles was basically like a spicy pad see ew. They were alright but were laid out on a plate of iceberg lettuce. It was probably meant as a garnish but who wants to eat wilted warm lettuce with their noodles? Ordered a thai tea and it tasted like it was either watered down or bottled. Overall we left full but unimpressed. Our search for good Thai food in the valley continues!

Food:
— Appetizer combination: 4 pieces of crab rangoons, 4 pieces of cheese wontons, 3 deep fried potstickers, 4 shrimp blanket, and 2 veggie eggrolls.
– Crab rangoons: hardly had any crab (imitation crab). ³⁄₅
– Cheese wontons: tasted almost exactly the same as the crab rangoons. ³⁄₅
– Fried potstickers: filled with pork were yummy. ⁴⁄₅
– Shrimp blankets: tasty. ⁴⁄₅
– Veggie egg rolls: I’m not huge on veggie eggrolls (I prefer meaty eggrolls) but this one had clear noodles and good flavor. ³⁄₅
— Shrimp and Pineapple Curry: shrimp, pineapple, carrots, and red bell peppers. This has to be one of the best Thai curries I’ve ever had. This dish exploded with flavor! Yummy spicy, sweet, and coconut-​ty red curry flavor! You have to order this! It’s sooo good! ⁵⁄₅
— Pad Thai: noodles, shrimp, chicken, bean sprouts, green onions, carrots, and peanuts. Excellent flavor! Tastes authentic. Chicken and shrimp were both a little dry. They got my requests to put the bean sprouts and green onions on the side correctly (this is always a plus)! ⁵⁄₅
Service: The waitress was very friendly and polite. She was very attentive and refilled our waters. She stopped by twice to check up on us. We were the only ones there but it was still nice of her. lol. ⁴⁄₅
Final thoughts: Leftover pad thai was not as good as it was fresh, but the curry was just as good! I wish I had more of it left over. lol. Needless to say, I would definitely come back for more!
