Diner Review №5

Why I give three stars ?? First of all we are from out of town. Every city that we visited we set our goal to find the best Thai restaurant in that town. This week we visited Salt Lake City for the conference. Krua Thai is on the top of google and someone reviews the best Thai noodle in town !! In my experience this is the worst pad thai noodle I ever try. It has no taste at all. I have been to Thailand so many times and Pad Thai is my favorite dish to order every time I visited Thailand. We have ordered couple dishes the only dish I disappointed was pad Thai with chicken.

Diner Review №6

The pad Thai and spring rolls were absolutely terrible. Shrimp in both tasted undercooked and like chlorine. Terrible and slow table service (even though we were one of two groups in the restaurant). Pineapple curry was fine. Shocked to get a $70 bill for two people. Worst Thai food I’ve ever had. Will not go back.

one of the best thai places i’ve had in the area, the food is absolutely amazing, the service is always incredible, usually a nice quiet date night place. i recommend the curry and the lettuce wraps ❤️

Diner Review №10

Some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten. Only complaint is the restaurant is a little small so it gets loud easy. The servers are nice and the restaurant is pretty. I love the Bumblebee statue too.

Diner Review №11

Diner Review №14

Stopped in late night on a Thursday last minute as it was the only place that was open. I am glad we stopped in. The drunken noodles were delicious. The service was great. The menu was straight forward and I liked how they gave wine pairing suggestions. I would definitely go back.

Diner Review №15

This place was really good

Diner Review №16

Great atmosphere great amazing tasting food!

Diner Review №17

Severely understaffed. Only One waitress works here. At the moment 8 People waiting for pick up, several left due to prolonged waiting time, all table full, used dirty table no capacity to clean. Yet they are still taking orders from online platforms, just kept taking. order receipts together can surround the Earth 2 loops.

Diner Review №18

our server was so sweet and attentive! food was great!

Diner Review №22

Krua Thai is awesome! the service is great and the food is even better!

Diner Review №23

Best Pad Thai and Coconut Soup in the state in my opinion. I haven't found anything better but they keep raising the price of the Pad Thai!
Originally it was $12 which is fine. Then it has just kept going up. When I called today to order it was $17 for a relatively small portion of Pad Thai!
The serving size isn't even that large. It is a comfortable amount for a single person, but definitely not more.

It's a bummer I have to I have to find a new place since I can no longer justify eating here :/

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №38

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere!

Diner Review №39

From out of town and stopped in because we saw a life size bumblebee transformer in the window. The curry dumplings were out of this world. My taste buds danced with utter glee. Then I moved on to the chicken pad Thai and just as I thought my taste buds were resting for the night. They began their own jubilee the moment the noodles graced my mouth. It took me no more than 5 minutes to inhale this delicious meal. Everything tasted fresh, the atmosphere is cozy, and everything we had was fantastic. 10 out of 10 would eat here again

Diner Review №40

Bumble bee was cool to hang out with while I ate some really good curry dumplings. Had to order another round they were so good.

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №45

Highly recommend this place. The service is fantastic and the food is really good. They’re all very accommodating here and it’s open later than most places! Aliza was our server and she is amazing.

Diner Review №46

WORST FOOD EVER! I got the Thai fried rice for dinenr. Probably one of the worst thai food I ever tasted. Just bland rice with some chicken sprinkled on and not even totally cooked properly which cost $17. Just bare amount of vegetables too. Not worth at all!!

Diner Review №76

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Krua Thai! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the perfect tone—elegant yet cozy. The service was exceptional, with staff who were both friendly and attentive. Now, the food—wow! Each dish was bursting with authentic, vibrant flavors. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with a perfect mix of sweet, savory, and tangy, while the Yellow Curry had the perfect amount of heat and richness. The freshness of the ingredients truly stood out, and you can tell they use high-quality produce and herbs. I also highly recommend the Broccoli Stir Fry—it’s a taste explosion in every spoonful! Whether you’re a Thai food enthusiast or a newcomer, Krua Thai is an absolute must-visit. Can't wait to return!

Diner Review №77

Good Thai restaurant for salt lake. A bit sweet for my taste otherwise very nice flavor. Fern is very nice explaining the dishes and the spicy level. Recommended place if you feel like eating Thai food in the area 😆 👍👍

Diner Review №133

very cute restaurant and good food!

Diner Review №134

Egg rolls were delicate and heavenly. Drunken noodles were everything I hoped for (I'm a drunken noodle fiend). We also tried their strawberry sweet sticky rice, which was better than ice cream 🤤. Atmosphere was relaxing and decor, unique. Love that we stumbled on this gem and can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №135

This place rules!! Incredible food! Perfect fast service and homely atmosphere. You will be glad you tried it!

Diner Review №136

Great food. Pad Thai was great.

Diner Review №137

I come here with my mom to have dinner and catch up. We enjoy the depth of the curries and stir fried vegetables. Portions are fairly large and I often leave with a portion Togo. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Nice sit down experience.

Food not good. More expensive than Thai food in NYC (how?). There is a mandatory service charge after 9pm, except they also don’t provide any service, only takeout. Make it make sense.

Diner Review №167

Diner Review №168

Love the food. I walk in and get pleasant and quick service. Nice atmosphere.

Diner Review №169

Delicious Tom Kha. Will be going back to try more from the menu

Diner Review №170

Terrible Tom yum soup. Water. 4 shrimps, lettuce, slices of mushrooms and tomato. That speaks for itself.

Diner Review №171

Absolutely Fabulous Food. I've ordered from here for delivery every time I'm in SLC since I first tried their food. Yesterday I went to the restaurant for the first time. It was a wonderful experience. Super casual atmosphere and much smaller than I had imagined. Either way I highly recommend them if you like Thai.
I've had: Green Curry (pork), Drunken Noodles (pork), Pad See Ew ( don't remember?), Ginger Stir Fry ( Pork), Breath of the Sun (Chicken), a soup ( chicken ), Coconut Shrimp and Fried Dumplings appetizers. I can't imagine that anything on their menu is not as good as these dishes are. Thai Tea was pretty rich and tasty.
I'm Hooked!

Diner Review №172

Diner Review №173

Everything was so delicious!

Diner Review №174

The food was delish, but the late night vibe is WEIRD. Like they don't actually serve you, but charge you 18% gratuity for you to... serve yourself? Water, plates, plastic forks, etc are all just set out in the middle of the room, and they don't even bother carrying your food over the several feet to where you're sitting. They also package all your food up in to-go boxes, even though you're eating in? Like everything about eating there at night told us to get the heck out of their restaurant. The food was good, but we probably won't be back.

Super awkward! Like if y'all don't want to feed people at night, maybe just don't?? 😂 Don't use extra charges and lackluster service to convince us we shouldn't be there!

Diner Review №175

I got Uber eats and asked for mild spice and got the food. The first bite was so spicy my gf and I couldn’t eat. Felt intentional and not happy

Diner Review №176

Fantastic ambience and food. Portions were great for the price. Flavor of the food was great - the chilis were spicy! Ordered the Red Curry and Kee Mao - both were great. Only negative was that there was only one server for the full restaraunt (indoor and outdoor) so she was constantly on the run and service was a little slow. Will definitely go back

Diner Review №177

Legit Thai food! I always get my food hot and some places don’t make it hot enough. But this place does! My mouth is burning. I love it! Always nice to me when I come in to get food for customers while I DoorDash also!

Diner Review №178

Diner Review №179

Unfortunately they charge a very high gratuity for TAKE OUT without informing you. Be aware

Diner Review №180

A 10$ gratuity doesn’t make any sense at all when you’re doing take out. Lost a customer that actually enjoyed the food.

Diner Review №181

Charged $10 in gratuity for a take out order. I did not dine in. Did not tell me this preemptive to ordering but found out once I got there. Super inconsiderate and rude. Also told me the egg rolls were $6 and they were actually $8… that part wouldn’t have bugged me if not for the gratuity. It’s just plain rude especially when everything is already so expensive! Not coming here again :/

Diner Review №182

Diner Review №183

I have never ate Thai food before. I had the sweet & Sour plate, along with the white rice. It was delicious!

Diner Review №184

nice food, convenient location

Diner Review №185

Good, not great. First time having Thai food in SLC.

Big amount of food, basically shared a main. Breath of Sun was plenty, comes with rice..Great value. The shrimp spring rolls were just lettuce and shrimp, definitely could have been better. The "medium" spicy isn't spicy at all.

Pretty ok, nothing spectacular.

Diner Review №186

The waitress here was amazing!!! Very helpful with me (someone who’s never had Thai). Super lovely place to eat! Food was fantastic!!!! A great SLC restaurant to try!

Diner Review №187

Our server was AMAZING!! This place really felt like you were dining at home. Everyone is so so sweet and I will be back here a lot!!! I was nervous to try it at first but i was more than pleasantly surprised! I got a spring roll with tofu and it hit the spot!!!

Diner Review №190

I ordered late night. I understand that they imposed me 18% gratuity. But for what? The server she asked me to pick the utensils from the table. They could had provided service if they are imposing auto gratuity of 18% on take outs. I have posted a picture of utensils table she asked me to pick the utensils from. Although I didn’t need utensils, it is the service what they need to make sure they provide if they impose auto gratuity forcefully on takeouts on late nights.

Diner Review №191

Great hours for the late night people. Food was okay... not great.

Diner Review №192

Food was barely passable but the fact they are open late is nice.

Diner Review №193

Do not order delivery.

Diner Review №194

Curry was good. Mango with sticky rice they made different cuz they did not have the one I asked for they didn’t call me to tell me so I could cancel if one thing I don’t like is people taking decisions for me taking money from me and give me something different. Mango was good the rice they did it different not what I asked for. Service not good they charged me tips on my food to go so poor the bosses that can’t afford to pay their employees shame on them! This tips is only when someone when the extra mile and it was done by wealthy people to the people on service by gratitude for doing extra efforts this food was to go honestly it makes me MAD that some restaurant are doing this kind of shame action !!!! Fraud!! Stealing shame on them!! Tips is NOT A LAW if it is SHOW ME where the LAW obligates customers to give tips BY FORCE . If the business want to force customers to PAY tips they need to WRITE it on a big sign or something so us as customers have the right to do business or not with you guys! Never again will buy here neither my friends and family just don’t like people to steal from me cuz I work on customer service I don’t ask anyone for tips because I get a salary $ 19 per hour if people tips me is cuz I gave great service but never felt or demand tips by force onto customers.

It's pretty good, if you like molecule sized cream cheese wontons. More like wan-toots. I think my favorite part was eating the entire appetizer in one bite and then feeling hungry afterwards.

Diner Review №199

Excellent food, great atmosphere. The Thai tea and coffee were divine. There were plenty of gluten free options, and the portions were larger than expected. Overall, great experience and will definitely go again!
