New Krungthai Restaurant

Had lunch on a Saturday in this popular Thai restaurant that is known for serving authentic and delicious Thai cuisine. As a start, it lives up to its popularity indeed as all the tables were quickly filled up soon after the restaurant opened up for customers at 12:00 pm. For food, we ordered items both from the main menu and also an item off the main menu. To our delight, all items delivered certainly helped to cement the reputation of the restaurant as a good location for tasting Thai cuisine. Besides being authentic in their tastes, portions are also generous for the prices that they are charged such that we are able to bring some from each dish item as a to-go item. Service provided by the servers are also good as they are attentive to the gestures of the customers. All in all, I will definitely consider this restaurant as one of the top restaurants serving Thai cuisine in San Jose.

The dining area is spacious and lively, giving it that classic busy restaurant feel. The portions are generous, and sharing family style makes it easy to try a bit of everything. I really liked the special dishes not listed on the menu, and the tablet photos help a lot when deciding what to order. It’s a great spot for groups of three to six to enjoy good food and conversation. Make sure to save some room for dessert! The staff is friendly, quick, and always ready to help.

Had a lovely meal at New Krungthai and everything hit the spot! We started with the Papaya Salad – fresh, tangy, and perfectly spicy. It really woke up the taste buds. The Crab Fried Rice was flavorful and had a generous amount of real crab – not dry or oily, just right. Their Red Curry was rich, creamy, and full of comforting flavors. I could honestly drink that curry! And of course, we couldn’t skip dessert – the Mango Sticky Rice was soft, sweet, and paired so well with the warm coconut cream. Such a satisfying Thai meal – definitely going back again! 🙌🍛🥭

We come here occasionally but the service and the foods are on the top notch every time. Foods always being served with a right temperature and flavorful taste. The price is not cheap but reasonable with their quality; and you can see the portion is big. Also one thing I love in here is they are taking their spicy level seriously. If you want mild, it will be mild, if you want spicy, you are gonna sweat. Other places seem like they just want to throw their spices in there. Highly recommended for family and friend to hang out and enjoy the party of flavor in here.

We came here on Saturday right before they open at noon. Parking is limited so if you arrive at 1pm, you will have a hard time finding a parking space and will have to wait for patrons to leave. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in this area and it’s really crowded. This place has been around for decades. It’s a very noisy environment. Food wise, you’ll find classic Thai dishes although I don’t remember seeing spicy catfish.

Lunch specials!! So happy this Krung Thai has lunch specials! Start with a delicious, beautiful soup and then get your choice of entree (L19, rama for me) with an egg roll, fried wonton and dipping sauce as well as steamed rice. L19 rama (with choice of meat and heat, I go with mild chicken) is the fabulous green curry studded with eggplant, tofu, peppers, and basil.

The food here is excellent and the service is pretty good. We had a party of 8 and as long as you have a reservation it wasn't too long of a wait. Parking is not great and gets filled especially on the weekend. We ordered the Thai fried rice, the pad Thai, red and green curry, and steak. All were really good and shareable portions.

I’m not usually picky about noise, but this place was LOUD! On the bright side, the Tom Kha Gai soup was absolutely wonderful - zesty and comforting. The red chicken curry was delicious and full of flavor. The Thai fried rice had so much lemongrass it smelled like a citronella candle! The fried pork belly had too much of a thick coating - it overwhelmed the meat and could have used a lighter hand. Decor-wise, it’s charming with detailed accents in gold and festive bunting. Service was smiley and prompt- a big plus there. And the Thai tea? Perfect.

Time and time again, Krung Thai remains our favorite Thai place in the South Bay. We've tried other popular places that are just so inconsistent and we find ourselves coming back to our tried and true. You can't go wrong with the classics: - Tom kha pak - warms your soul soup with a hearty amount of veggies - pad thai - chef's kiss! a little on the sweeter side but oh so delicious - pad see ew - very classic and iconic. Deliciously savory with bouncy rice noodles A new try for us was the choo chee salmon, which really surprised us. It had a beautifully crispy skin accompanied with a sweet and savory coconut-ty curry sauce that was so delicious. The salmon itself was moist and juicy, and was delicious with some plain rice. We weren't big fans of the pineapple fried rice. It was a bit salty and the pineapple flavor wasn't really infused into the rice, just little chunks of pineapple when you happened to come across a piece. I'd skip that next time. If you're here on the weekends, I would highly recommend making a reservation by calling. Note, they only take reservations for 6 or more people. It's best to plan for an early dinner, as the parking lot fills up quick. The lot itself is a tight squeeze. If there's people double parked, you'll find it challenging to get out.

Came here on a Saturday around 12 pm. Surprisingly, there weren't a lot of people. The interior is spacious. The service was a bit slow, and we waited quite a while for our dishes to be served. Satay 5/5 A must-try! The chicken is very tender, and the cucumber salad is refreshing and crispy,which is a perfect match with the chicken skewers. Grilled Jumbo Squid 4/5 The dish was nicely presented. The squid was perfectly grilled with a tender texture. Sticky Rice with Mango 3/5 Although it was beautifully presented, the flavor was just okay. Crab Meat Fried Noodles 3/5 The texture of the noodles was good, and the portion was decent. There was plenty of crab meat in the dish, but it was a bit too sweet. Otherwise, it was good. Yellow Curry 4/5 I liked the flavor of the curry -- creamy and slightly sweet. However, the chicken was overcooked and a bit tough. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, and I would come back to try other dishes.

Thai spot close by valley fair - serves a pretty solid variety of curries, noodles, fried rices but also offers special seafood menu items Parking can be a bit limited during peak hours so recommend coming early for a spot or being ready to circle a while to wait for someone to leave. The pineapple / basil fried rice dishes were cooked fully and had good portions with large amounts of rice. Good amount of oil coating the rice. The basil fried rice at medium spice level was balanced very well by the basil which made I t very refreshing! The pineapple fried rice was a bit light in flavor - was expecting it to be slightly more sweet / flavored with pineapple? But still good!

Went here for a date night a week ago and it was a pleasant experience! All the employees were very polite, kind, and respectful. The wait was not too long for a Saturday night! Food wise, everything was delicious. My partner and I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu , chicken and green curry with rice, and Thai tea! Everything paired so well together. The noodles were chewy and yummy, the green curry was pretty spicy (we got hot!), and the Thai tea was refreshing and sweet! So good!!

Still flavorful foods but almost all of the items are salty but if you combine with rice it is oaky. The whole fried fish with mushroom sauce was probably the best dishes out of all of the dishes we ordered on the table. The pad Thai was okay, not something special. The garlic shrimp was good with extra garlic which I love it. The papaya salad was over salty as we felt it had been better if it had added more lemons to it. The seafood soup with coconut was good. The fried fish was so good with the white rice that we definitely will order again if we are here. The restaurant was 3/4 full during lunch on a Tuesday afternoon, the foods came out quick once you are ready to order. Services were okay nothing special.

AMAZING. Definitely plan to dine in (as it's unclear how to order takeout from this magical spot), and at dinner time plan to wait just a bit. But get your butt to New Krung Thai as fast as you can!!! The food is AMAZING, the staff are INCREDIBLE, and the atmosphere is fun and refined. Check out some of our favorite dishes: Drunken Noodle (we prefer with chicken), Papaya Salad (o-m-g delicious), Crab Noodle, Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry, and if you're a fish lover, the Pla Rad Prik is must-have!!! Plus all the soups. Tom Kha Gai is my favorite, but they're all good. With their generous portion sizes, bring a group and sample the menu family style, or bring a date and plan to take food to go. We are so thankful to the friends who introduced us to New Krung. It's the best!!

Had a great dinner here even coming solo! I was suppose to meet someone but they were late and the staff treated me well and let me get seated even before and order and everything. I would feel comfortable coming by myself after this experience. They have the best thai food in the area, i think they have the best pad thai but i ordered the green curry and papaya salad this time and it was phenomenal. And the mango sticky rice is also so good. I know their thai tea is good as well but i dont drink caffeine im the evening. Def recommend!!

This place always hits for comfort Thai food! There's usually a long wait during peak dinner time on the weekend, but we came after the rush and were seated upon checking in with the host. We ordered the panang ribeye steak on their special menu and curry crab fried rice. The panang was sooo flavorful and the crab fried rice paired well with it! Would definitely recommend both! The restaurant is lively with large group dinners & servers are very friendly. Parking lot is small and the food is on the pricier side, but worth it!

Came back for another lunch special! Just as delicious and this time we also tried the mango rice dessert. It cost about the same as the lunch special but it is definitely big enough to share and the presentation is beautiful!

One of my favorite Thai spots in the South Bay! Friendly service and authentic flavors. It's a casual place that gets very busy. They take reservations if you have a big group. I actually celebrated my birthday here for a group of 17 and they accommodated on a busy Saturday night. Their specials are delicious ( Ribeye) and every dish I tasted was YUM! Recommend: Panang Curry, Drunken Noodle, Pad Thai, Pad Seiw, Crab Fried Rice, Pork with green beans and eggplant, Larb and Green Papaya Salad. I usually go with Mild and it still has a slight kick but they can go spicier. Friendly staff! Thai iced tea and Mango with Sticky rice is a perfect way to end the meal. EXCELLENT meal:)

We loved our dinner experience here. The restaurant staff was kind enough to let us eat our to-go order for dine-in on the weekday night. We ordered Thai iced tea, vegetarian green curry with sticky rice, vegetarian drunken noodles with tofu and everything was amazing in taste. I'd say selecting hot was a good decision on the green curry as there was little kick of spice without overpowering other flavors. We should have gone for hot on drunken noodles too but nonetheless it was good in taste. The portions were perfect! The ambiance is nice and perfect for date night! Definitely going back here soon.

Kind of surprised by the low reviews, New Krung Thai is definitely one of the better Thai food restaurants in San Jose (arguably the best Thai Food in San Jose). Pricing is a little on the higher side but well worth it. Dishes were flavorful without being overly salty. Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my partner & was able to be seated immediately. Ribeye crying tiger - medium rare. A little fatty with a nice char & the tamarind sauce went really well Green curry w/ chicken - surprisingly our favorite dish. Only downside is that it doesn't come with rice - first time I've been to a Thai restaurant that didn't include rice with curry (and that's across all price points!) Calamari- ok. Was thin & kind of... almost like a crispy spongy in texture? I'd pass for next time Pad Kee Mao w/ shrimps - good wok hay. Wish it was just a litttttle more spicy 2 cocktails 1 app 3 mains Total after tip/tax came out to $126 - would definitely recommend and come back

can't believe how amazing this was! From the presentation to the taste, everything was absolutely delicious. The mangos were perfectly ripe, and the sticky rice was so flavorful. Definitely a 10/10! The only con is the parking situation. It's very limited so plan accordingly!

Food - average Thai food. Got the Pad se eew with shrimp (slight burnt flavor which may be up some people's alley) and chicken green curry (mild flavor) Service - one server Pauline was super nice Ambiance - casual, clean, cute Thai vibes

Had a wonderful dinner here on Tuesday night! The service was great, the food is always good, and the restaurant itself is nice and in a great location (right by Valley Fair). I like coming here because it's familiar and reasonably priced, and my family has been eating here for years! However, I do think there is better Thai food in the South Bay.

New food was so good. I didn't remember the exact name but I highly recommend the gallic, green bin with the fried pork belly ($27). Ofc my fav is green curry. Happy day!

This is probably my favorite Thai restaurant. This is my first 5 star review too so yeah. First their fried rice was so good and flavorful, you can taste bell peppers, basil and bok choy all in one bite at once. 8.9 out of 10. They also have good Tom yom soup, it was nice and comforting. 8.5 out of 10. There chicken satay was so juicy and cooked perfectly too, 8.1 out of 10. Pad Thai was also pretty good, nothing wrong with it, 8.1 out of 10. Pad Siu was super saucy and the sauce didn't taste pre made, 8.6 out of 10. Staff was super friendly, shout out to Simon, very top notch and helpful. Ambiance was nice, place was super clean. This place is a 8.9 out of 10.

This place never disappoints, from the time you walk in, get seated, being served & than check out depending on when you go here, parking could be an issue, but trust me, find a parking down the street, park & walk The pricing for the items on the menu is worth it to me, not sure how others may feel, but the portions are and that's not even taking about the flavor It's also always cute, clean & picture perfect inside. If you've never been to this place & there's another one down the same street, Saratoga/Winchester, either one is worth your $$$

Krung Thai has been in San Jose for decades. Upon mentioning thai food, people will immediately suggest this as one of the places to head to. The parking lot is a bit small so carpool if you can. The restaurant stands as its sole building on the property. Wait times depend on when you're stopping in for food. Staff is friendly and attentive as soon as you walk in. The interior of the restaurant itself gives off a classy casual vibe with tablecloths and wood furniture. The menu has a variety of curries, meats, and noodles. Coworkers love sharing the meal family style by ordering multiple items from the menu. From previous experience, all items have been delectable and memorable. The shrimp pad thai was delicious as usual. The noodles are not soggy and had a sufficient taste with texture. Only downside is the serving size might be small if you are thinking of sharing with others as a family style meal. The plates will come with serving size utensils, so photos may be misleading to judge order size. Entrees are usually enough to feed 1 person only. The price also falls on the more expensive side of dining. For great thai food in San Jose, this is still the place to go to after many years of business!

New Krung Thai never disappoints, especially when it comes to their pad see ew. We stopped by for a casual weekday dinner while running errands, and as always, the dish was excellent. The combination of soft and crispy tofu added great texture, the noodles were perfectly tender, and the greens stayed fresh and crunchy. We also tried the shrimp toast, which was surprisingly packed with protein, though I'd probably skip it next time in favor of their classic angel wings--those are always a great choice. Service was warm and attentive, making the experience even better. Though we got lucky with our 6pm dining time, the parking lot fills up quickly, even on a Monday night, so plan ahead. When we left at around 7 the lot was packed! Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with groups celebrating birthdays and retirements. The location next to Valley Fair Mall makes it a convenient stop for a great meal before or after shopping. Definitely a spot worth returning to!

Came here to celebrate and catch up with friends. Started with papaya salad, tom yum soup, crispy shrimp, fried rice, and drunken noodles. Everything tasted amazing. Plenty of indoor seating. Great for family and friends. Service was quick. Mango sticky rice dessert was good. But the mangos were really small. Would love it to be at least 1/2 of the mango.

I went here last weekend for dinner with my family. We didn't have to wait too long, maybe 20-25 minutes. Not too bad for a Saturday. As usual, this restaurant is packed (couples, families, and possibly dates). We ordered or usuals, but my sister wanted to try one of the off the menu items ( Ribeye Crying Tiger) It was melt in your mouth delicious! Definitely try that when you go there for dinner.

This was a popular place in high school. A few years later, this place is holding it down and going strong! AMBIANCE: Parking: A small plaza that can fit about 10-15 cars. Seating: Pretty spacious place that's great for groups. It can fit about 50 people. Vibes: The highlight of this part of San Jose is the Valley Fair mall and Santana Row. You're not too far away from the mall so it's a nice place to enjoy before or after shopping around the area. The spot itself is pretty intimate and well-decorated with Thai culture. Great place for family or a fun food adventure. FOOD: Pad Thai (Recommend) This is a great 101 for newbies. Flat rice noodles, scrambled eggs, chicken, shrimp, peanuts with mixes of galric, sugar, shallots, and fresh green onions. A lovely medley of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Tom Kha Gai (Recommend) Meaning flavorful chicken ginger soup. It does live up to expectations, served hot with a lite creamy texture, coconut, lemongrass, and ginger. Usually packed with spice but we requested it on the side. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Awesome! We placed an order and it arrived in a timely manner TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! Great choices, delicious food, and reasonable prices. I understand why this earned some awards and is recommended by many. I look forward to coming back here again. For those in need of Thai food, check this space out! #RepresentASIAN TIPS: * Don't get it mixed up with the old Krung Thai (but feel free to check that out). * Krung means capital/king in Thai * Unsure about the spice? Ask them to serve it on the side.

I've been going to this restaurant with my family since I was young. I haven't been here for a long time though. The parking lot is limited and small. There was about a 15-20 min wait on a Friday night. Service here is always lacking - workers are slow and not efficient. The food however is great. Very well cooked and flavorful. What we ordered: Pad thai Calamari salad Fried pork belly Catfish curry

Came here for lunch on a weekend and it was pretty busy! There were a lot of tables of families. They have a variety of dishes and many options to choose from. We opted for the fried pork belly that seem to be one of their seasonal menus. We also picked a noodle dish. We picked rad na which is a flat rice noodle dish with gravy. There was a lot of vegetables that were included in the dish, which was nice. We also ordered the eggplant chili garlic with tofu. Overall, everything was pretty good. There is a small parking lot that seems to fill up during busier hours. A pretty good find close to the Westfield mall!

had the mango sticky rice and the mango was so SO dry. It is seasonal on the menu and I recommend calling ahead if you're looking to order it. The rice and sauce were pretty good, but I wouldn't get it again.

New Krung Thai is elegant inside and nice decors and always a busy spot! Making reservations is ideal, especially on holidays. The staff aren't always the most friendly, and I always feel like they are rushing everything - but the food. Food is tasty, there are lots on the menu, but it's extremely overpriced for the portion sizes. I've tasted a lot better Thai food for half the price, tbh.

Came here for dinner at 6pm on a Weds night and fortunately there wasn't a line! There's so many options to try on the menu but I ended up picking Rad Na (stir fried flat noodles in a gravy sauce with broccoli & choice of protein) and my friend ordered the green curry. She originally was going to get the jungle curry but the waiter gave different recs due to that dish being a particularly strong flavor and smell. Our food came out in just 15-20 mins and my Rad Na was quite a big portion! The curry was a little smaller but still yummy and filling. I also appreciated the waiters coming by to refill our water glasses several times and being pretty responsive when we had questions. Would definitely visit again to try some other menu specials!

I was craving good Thai food today, so I decided to visit New Krung Thai. I've always enjoyed Thai cuisine, but this restaurant is by far my favorite. Compared to other Thai places, New Krung Thai offers deeper, richer, and more intense flavors. I'm usually not a fan of overly intense flavors, but here, they strike the perfect balance it's flavorful in the best way. No wonder so many people love this spot! Today, Pauline served us, and she was friendly. In general, the staff here is always welcoming. Occasionally, when it gets really busy, they may seem a bit overwhelmed, but they still do their best and remain professional. We ordered the chicken basil, squid in a flavorful sauce, Rad Na (gravy noodles) & Thai tea. Everything was absolutely delicious I loved it all! Will I be coming back? Oh yes!

Krung Thai Restaurants there are several around San Jose,CA. I do not normally order food from this resturant. But, since 2019-2020 years there had been on several occasions where I had celebrated a birthday dinner here with my entitled listed immediate relatives and my boyfriend of a sit down dinner.I had not ordered anything from Krung Thai Resturant of additional for taking out or for to go. I have not revisited or had ordered anything of this resturant menu for several years since. I so honestly do not speak in Thai language or any other languages they use. On menu do so have English as listed as subtitles for those whom only can see understand in English. -Christina (Updated on 6/3/2025)

We were deciding between a few Thai restaurants in the South Bay for dinner on a Saturday night and I'm so glad that we chose this one! We walked in without a reservation and were seated within a reasonable time. We tried: - Crispy noodles - I was so excited to try crispy noodles outside of the Panfried Noodles that I usually order at Chinese restaurants (if you know, you know). I wasn't the biggest fan of the corn personally but it complemented the dish. -Pad Thai - We asked for mild spice but even then, Thai spice is no joke -Mango sticky rice - The heart shape presentation was SO cute and the perfect ending to a dinner date. This is a dessert that you need to save room for. We were so full by the end of the meal that we struggled to finish the dessert. The service was great and staff was friendly. Overall, great experience and delicious food!

New Krung Thai 9/10 This place is a general go-to for my family for a very good reason!! The food is delicious and they are super consistent with their quality. The service is always great and they are generally almost always accommodating. The chicken pad Thai is almost always a must here! I tried the garlic friend shrimp for the first time and it was great. The crunchy garlics are absolutely incredible. The parking lot is a bit of a mess, but you can always find something around the corner. I will definitely be coming back in the future! Service: 45/5 Food: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

Been eating here for years. We have tried so many items on their menu. Usually we get the pad se ew, pad Thai as those are one of our main go to items. Then get the chicken coconut milk soup and one of the appetizers like the fish cake. Kids always want the Thai iced tea there so we get that for them. Service can be slow or fast depending on the time of day. Usually going after lunch but before dinner is best so you don't have to wait around forever. Definitely one of the better Thai restaurants in the area.

Came here with a party of four on a weekday for dinner and was immediately seated. Parking is a tad limited, but I've always been able to find a spot with no issue. We ordered a variety of dishes including chicken satay, panang curry, pad Thai, tom yum soup, mango sticky rice, Thai tea, and Thai beer. This totaled to around $150. Not bad at all, we were so full at the end! Everything was very authentic, spiced well, and came out quickly, especially considering how they're usually quite busy. This restaurant is perfect for large parties and portions are sizable. Overall a great South Bay gem that is a satisfying visit if you're not sure what to get for lunch/dinner.

The new Krung Thai has been around for decades. I still love coming here for some good old fashioned Thai food. They don't disappoint! Even when staffs are busy , they make sure you're checked in and taking care of. Restaurant has pleasant ambiance, good place for date night or with the family.

The New Krung Thai is hands down the best thai restaurant I have ever been to. I have tried so many thai places and I always end up comparing it to this place and of course it's not as good as here. This restaurant is very fast paced and will always take your order right away and the food always comes out fast as well. I have tried several dishes from this place and everything has always been consistent and amazing. My favorites would have to be the pad thai, papaya salad, yellow curry, and tom kha soup. The pad thai is not too saucy but filled with flavor. I love how spicy the pad thai can be and it's honestly the best. It tastes very authentic and is prepared so well. The tom kha soup is rich in the coconut flavor and is paired with mushrooms and chicken which is so delicious. Lastly, you can't leave without trying their mango sticky rice. The mango is always so fresh and sweet which pairs well with the sticky rice. Everything is priced really well for how good it is. I will never go to another thai place as much as I do here. The service is always good and the place is usually packed every night. Will always be returning to this location. The originally krung thai is definitely not as good as this one.

(4.5 out of 5) This is the best Thai place in the South Bay (food wise). Food here is amazing I be gotten the Tom kha, multiple noodle dishes, my favorite being there pad Thai, and multiple curries, my favorite being Panang. Service here is good, not a local place for me so I don't need the best service just need my food to be amazing and that's what they do, it is pretty expensive, usually getting 3/4 dishes for around 90-100$ but if you want amazing Thai food this is the spot if you're ready to brand the bank! When ever I'm in San Jose which isn't too often I make sure to stop by here. Ambiance is also pretty nice, kind of a hidden spot but when they take their hour break in the middle of the day there's a line waiting outside!!! Remember when you come by to say Rothyy sent you!

3/5 - TL;DR - May return again in the future but not anytime soon. Small family dinner gathering on the night of Halloween. The restaurant was lively! In fact, there weren't enough parking spaces available when I arrived, so ended up parking on a residential street nearby and walking over. Staff is friendly and it was easy enough to flag down a waiter for any requests, including getting refills on water for the table. The staff was nice, and all of them had dressed up in costume for the holiday (some of the costumes were a little unsettling for me personally - but fun nonetheless!) Ordered the following: - Fish Cake - Chicken Satay - Angel Wings - Papaya Salad - Thai Fried Rice w/ Chicken - Pad Z Ew w/ Beef - Pad Thai - Penang Fish Curry - Basil Pork - Thai Tea - Sticky Rice with Mango The only item I wouldn't be ordering again for sure is the Pad Z/See Ew - which was ordered "extra spicy", but when the dish came out, it was entirely not-spicy at all. The waiter confirmed after-the-fact that "the dish is not made spicy here", and provided some condiments on the side instead. Was super odd that the person taking the order did not mention anything about this at the time of ordering. Without the spiciness, the noodles just tasted a bit one dimensional, perhaps leaning a bit too sweet, with nothing to balance it out. I'll probably also be skipping the Angel Wings again, as it just wasn't very impressive. The rest of the dishes were decent, however, for the prices that are charged by the restaurant, I think it'll be worth checking out many of the other popular and available Thai restaurant options in the area before returning here for another meal in the future.

Came here on a weekday and saw how full it was. Good thing we had a reservation for a party of 7. Impressed with the menu so had to share it. We enjoyed the pad Thai, satay chicken, angel wings, and pad see yew.

My favorite Thai restaurant in the Bay Area: -Food: * PLA RAD PRIK (deep fried Pompano with mushroom garlic spicy sauce) - the best -5/5 * Red Curry - 4/5 * Pad Thai - 4/5 * Mango Sticky Rice - 5/5 -Service - Good, but don't expect a fast service - 4/5 -Ambiance - authentic & loud - 4/5 I always come here evertime I visit the Bay, and so should you

My family and I have been coming to New Krung Thai for years and it has never failed us! Everything has always been delicious and the staff are always attentive and friendly. Some of my favorite dishes are the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and yum woon sen (silver noodle salad). There's a parking lot but it's super small and fills up pretty quickly. Sometimes we park around the neighborhood and walk. I would that that's the only con of this place.

The shrimp pad Thai was pretty good. The shrimp were large and fresh. Pad z ew is solid. Service was decent. The wait can be long at times.

Love this Thai restaurant. I tried everything and food here is delicious! Highly recommended and I will be going there again soon. Thank you for the delicious food.

Great food. Just not as good as the original location. I'm sure the recipes are the same, but the chefs might vary it a little. If the other one's booked up, definitely come here. They have the best recipes.

We came here for a bustling Thai dinner after hearing this is the best Thai food in San Jose. Would come back for one thing and one thing only: The mango sticky rice dessert. (8.5/10) The fact that it was presented in the shape of a heart made all the difference. They pile on heaps of sweet mango and the sticky rice was fragrant and delicious with the condensed milk sauce. Another solid option was the pad see ew with prawns. (8/10) The wok fired taste was notable and the prawns were great. Panama Curry with chicken 7/10 and pad kra pow were 6.5/10. They both tasted similar with the ingredients being the same and were not memorable. Would not order again: The crab fried rice (3/10) it was bland and lacked flavor. There were small chunks of imitation crab and overall this dish was lacking.

Literally my favorite thai place ever! The garlic pepper beef is my go to along with the papaya salad! The portions are also huge in my opinion. The servers were nice and came by pretty quickly to take our order. We got three dishes and it fed 3 people plus we had leftovers. Inside is huge and very family style friendly. 10/10 recommend the garlic pepper beef if you're a huge garlic lover!!!

My baby is turning 2 (where's the time gone!) and we were also wishing a close family member farewell as they were moving countries. We wanted to find a space that would not only host us, but have something delicious that everyone would enjoy. With 12 (Asian) people, the consensus was Thai. Which leads us to New Krung Thai. As native Bay Area locals, we've seen the original Krung Thai, the new Krung Thai, and another location that more recently closed. Out of the 3 (now 2), New Krung Thai takes the (birthday) cake, hands down. So booking this spot then became a no-brainer (just be careful, both are located on Winchester, so don't accidentally book or go to the wrong location). Called a week prior to make a reservation for Sunday lunch, which they were happy to accommodate. They did warn us that the entire party needed to be present before they would seat us, and that they will release the tables 15 minutes past reserved time. You know I definitely harangued my whole extended family to show up precisely at 12:30pm, and not a minute later, and they all dutifully and hilariously showed up into the parking lot car, after car, after car with our entire party (not planned or timed, and all coming from different places). There's a medium sized lot that can park a few dozen cars (I didn't get a chance to count), so if you come early enough, I suspect parking should be a non-issue. When we got there, our party was seated within 2-3 minutes. Our set-up was a layout of 2 smaller rectangle tables and one large round one (made the seating a little funny, but we made do). They did however only present our entire table with 3 menus, so I ended up coordinating orders for the whole party and placed the order with the server. We ordered over 10+ dishes, and they all came in batches of 2-3 dishes within 3-5 minutes of each other (basically all food was on our table within 20 minutes of ordering). We also ordered 2 hot teas, but only one came. I waved someone down after ten minutes or so and asked for my tea. This must have added some confusion because our bill had 3 hot teas on the receipt, but they quickly and readily corrected it for us. Since we were there for a celebration, we brought in an 8" cake. They were able to store it in the fridge for us throughout lunch. When I told a server we were ready for the cake, she asked if I wanted them to just bring it out or have them cut it for us and bring out the plates of sliced cake. It was a really nice gesture, but I imagine most folks want to see a beautiful cake before cutting and possible sing happy birthday (if for that occasion), but I truly appreciate the option! They then brought out not only our cake, but stacks of plates and forks for them too (I had brought paper plates and plastic utensils for the occasion, but those were quickly stowed under the table with the new provided tableware). Funnily, there were 3 different large parties singing happy birthday in the span of 10 minutes, and my FIL insisted the video he captured the first time wasn't good enough so made us do a redo, so the entire restaurant heard the tiresome song for a total of 4 times. Clearly, it's a wonderful place for celebrations. Food is top-notch by the way, they ran out of the water-spinach dish though, and we were told it's seasonal, but it's was printed on the menu so that's a bummer. Definitely give the crab noodles a try - they are phenomenal. I was fully prepared to have a lot of leftovers for dinner, but a testament to how great everything was, there were only 5 containers brought back, and 3 of them were white and brown rice, and 1 veggie dish (because eh, who eats out for veggies). Highly recommend this spot, can't go wrong. And may you be spared of thinking about New Krung Thai with the Happy Birthday tune running in your mind.

Came here for the lunch special which comes with soup (tom yum), a choice of entree and rice. Parking is very difficult so I had to park in the neighborhood. Restaurant is also very loud during lunch hour, making it hard to have conversation. I got the massaman curry with beef. The beef slices were quite hard and detracted from the experience. Also, they definitely need more beef to the potato they put in. Rice quantity was enough. Tom yum soup had good flavor but just had a few annoying pieces of lemongrass that I had to remove since they were too hard. Thai tea was solid and a big quantity. Upside of this place is that it's pretty affordable - lunch specials are almost all under $20 and even many under $15.

Our eyes were definitely bigger than our mouths but that's okay because everything was so good! I'm glad we ordered a lot so we could try a bit of everything! My favorite dishes were the pad thai, steak, and steak. The thai tea gets an honorable mention too! The servers here are the sweetest!
