Love Thai Tea, Great Food, Good Customer Service, Good time when me and my friends come.

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!

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.

Krua is a great casual neighborhood Thai restaurant in the Mission. If you're confused on the name, this restaurant is called Raw Sugar Factory during breakfast/brunch (different menus and yelp pages). -- Food -- I've ordered the Pad Thai with beef a few times, and it's hit or miss with the default spice level; I'd recommend asking for medium (or more) spice, as they will default to mild/no spice, which is extremely bland -- with spice, it was great. The noodles were cooked perfectly, meat and vegetables were fresh. I'd definitely order it again. The crispy Pad Thai is a fun variant of Pad Thai, made with dry fried egg noodles. This version doesn't have the wet sauce normally on Pad Thai. -- Drinks -- Krua has basic alcoholic drinks (mimosas, sangria, etc) and non-alcoholic beverages (soft drinks, Thai tea, etc). I tried the Thai tea and it was a *lot* sweeter than normal. -- Atmosphere -- Krua is very casual (most customers/staff in sweatshirts, etc), smaller (roughly 15 small tables and a few larger booths), narrow, brightly lit restaurant. -- Service -- No complaints here. Waiter was polite and helpful. Food came out quickly. The restaurant was clean. -- Stars -- Food: 2/3 Stars Service: 2/2 Stars Total: 4/5 Stars

My work placed a lunch order today for delivery and I loved my lunch so much I decided to take a break to write a review. Unfortunately no pictures this time, haha too hungry to stop myself from diving in. I got the Tom Yum soup with Combination Seafood (scallops, shrimp and calamari) and an order of Shrimp Spring Rolls. I shared the rolls with a couple coworkers and they were SO good, the peanut sauce was very flavorful. My soup was so soothing and had lots of lemongrass and chili peppers, my lunch was so satisfying on this slightly rainy and cold winter day.

Came here on a Thursday evening and their reservation system was really simple! Not a lot of people there either. Good: - Decently fast service and really nice clean interior - Loved the pad c u here with chicken, it was so tasty and the noodles were chewy - The papaya salad was a great texture as well and really good as an appetizer - I was a fan of the Khao soi, it was a huge portion size and the soup was so good Bad: - A little overpriced for Thai food, felt like it was $5 more than other places Overall really liked this place! It was close to the Barry's we went to ahead of class.

The Thai food is served all day, brunch menu in the morning/lunch. I'd recommend this spot if you are wanting a little bit of both. A friend had the chicken and waffles and loved it. The chicken is breaded almost like katsu. This place definitely satisfies a Thai food craving. The drunken noodles have a good kick to them, with perfectly cooked veggies tossed in (not soggy nor limp!). The service is quick and friendly. Right on Valencia street, so a good place to pop into after walking around.
