New Krungthai Restaurant

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.

It was a fairly long wait 45 min on Saturday evening, but the friendly service and lively atmosphere made it worth while. Enjoyed warm sake' and veg spring rolls for appetizer. Chowmein with veggies was excellent. However the peanut sauce and penang curry were rather oily but flavorful. Mild spicy was good with steamed rice on the side. Grand finale of mango sticky rice was just amazing presentation!

I visited this restaurant a day after Valentine’s Day, and the ambiance was absolutely stunning! The place was beautifully decorated with Valentine’s Day balloons and the best part - you could even take them with you. It created such a festive and romantic atmosphere—definitely a highlight of the experience. However, the food was not as expected, especially considering the high prices. I’ve tried a few other Thai restaurants, and honestly, their food has been better than what I had here. The pineapple fried rice was and the chicken fried rice was just okay, and the Penang curry was disappointing. The only saving grace was the mango sticky rice, which was delicious. The service was another issue. Some of the servers were quite rude and didn’t even bother to smile. To make matters worse, after we finished eating, one of the servers abruptly took our plates without asking if we were done or waiting for something else. It felt incredibly disrespectful and rushed. Please train your staff on basic customer interaction and etiquette. The lack of warmth and professionalism really took away from what could have been a great dining experience. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving both the food quality and service.

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.

Usually don't goto Thai restaurants but went with a friend today. Since I don't usually try their food can't say forsure but it was pretty good overall. The soup was quite different then what I have but still good. Pad Thai and pork belly were both solid as well. Prices seem normal so might be worth a try for Thai enjoyers.

Just up the street from its older sibling, New Krungthai offers a more refined setting with upgraded décor and spacious seating. Dishes like roasted duck curry and Panang curry still impress, and vegetarian-friendly options are available. Portions are generous and plating is thoughtful, making it a solid choice for casual dates or group meals. However, service can feel rushed, and tip prompts are a bit aggressive—especially during busy hours. Parking is limited and fills quickly, and while accessibility is decent, the layout gets tight when crowded. It’s a decent Thai spot with flavorful dishes, but recent experiences suggest it’s not quite living up to its polished look.

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

they offer tasty thai food in bay area all the dishes here are dellish. they improved on the steamed rice quality. our fave: penang fish, ground chicken garlic basil, pad thai, pad see ew, tom yum soup and tom kha soup don't forget to order sticky rice mango for dessert. place get busy on the weekends so unless you come early right on the opening time, better to make reservations. service is attentive and quick

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 $$$

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Food was good. But I M very disappointed about the bill. My Son invite me to lunch last Friday 6/20. After lunch. I ordered one to go The garlic Shrimp for my friend and told the waiter I will pay for it. I didn't look at the bill until today . Surprised they charge me Xtra 18% for large party that My Son paid for .

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!

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

Start with seating. We told the server how many people would be at the party, but they didn't bring enough chairs. We ordered a decent amount of food, but only one soup because not everyone wants soup. The waiter brought eight bowls and we asked if we could have two more extra bowls. The waiter just has to say ok and bring the bowl, rather than telling, you ordered only one soup, so you get eight bowls. We repeatedly asked for two extra bowls so some people could try it. None of the servers were paying attention because we needed to order additional dishes. We kept trying to make eye contact or say hi, but none of them bothered to stop. Finally, we got the attention and asked for white rice, and the same guy said you didn't order the rice, so we didn't get it. We know we didn't order the rice, but we want to. We are willing to pay. So to me service was -1. Food was OK. Would I go back? My answer is no.

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 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 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.

Takeout: drunken noodles chicken, green curry chicken, Thai fried rice chicken, pad thai tofu. All were fantastic and very flavorful. We will definitely be back!

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)

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.

Food was just awful!!!' There was a fly or something on my dish. And the restaurant staff was just rude about it. Awful people!!

Called and called. No response. Yelp and their website says they are open. Came to the restaurant and there is a paper sign on the door: Temporary Close 3 - 5 PM Please update your public facing pages or update your voicemail so folks are informed!

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!

New Krungthai is a nice and popular restaurant. The parking lot is small and again this restaurant is very popular, so come off hours, otherwise you need to find street parking in the neighborhood. The service is friendly, attentive, and nice. Personally, I feel the portions were good here. Larb (with Chicken - 3/5): Minced meat cooked in a spicy dressing and tossed with Thai herbs: shallots, mint leaves, kaffir lime leaves, cilantro, scorched dry chili & balanced with ground roasted rice. Served with sliced fresh cabbage. My friends thought, "This was a bit dry." Curry Crab Fried Rice (3.5/5): Crab meat fried rice with eggs & aromatic turmeric yellow curry powder. Garnished with fried minced garlic and green onions. 2x Pad Thai (3.5/5): The Thai noodle dish that is famous. Flavorful pan fried rice noodles with prawns, chicken, tofu, bean sprouts, eggs, and green onions. 2x Pad See Ew (with Chicken - 4/5): Thai classic pan fried rice noodle with eggs, Chinese broccoli, seasoned with dark soy sauce. Soft flat noodles that have been tossed in a sweet and savory soy sauce. The gai-lan was cut up smaller so you could easily eat it. Eggplant Chili Garlic (with Pork - 4/5): Sauteed with eggplants, fresh chili, minced garlic, bell peppers & sweet basil. Soft eggplant and the flavors blended well. Everything was good in this dish. Yellow Curry (with Chicken - 3.5/5): Simmered in mild yellow curry with coconut milk, potatoes & onions. Our protein was chicken. Good curry, though, I am used to thicker sauce, which this was not. Plus, it had a tinge of red in it. Panang Curry (with Chicken - 3.5/5): Simmered in rich Panang curry paste with coconut milk, bell peppers, sweet basil & fine kaffir lime leaves. Flavorful, but not as creamy as I am used to. It was still delicious on top of the steamed rice.

I came here with my family for the first time during the weekend when they were visiting. There was a long wait so we waited about 30-40 min. From the wait, I had high expectations of the food but it ended up disappointing the whole family. We ordered a pineapple fried rice, green curry with white rice, a mango delight, and a sticky rice with mango. The pineapple fried rice and green curry were incredibly average and a little bland. It was very hard for us to finish, but everyone enjoyed the desserts at least. The mango delight and sticky rice were the best dishes out of everything. There were a lot of families eating here. I think it's a great casual place for families to talk and enjoy food (if you're not picky about having good thai food). I'm probably not going to come back here again though.

New Kung Thai mean county or king. The calamari green curry was so unique. Is fascinating how they are able to wrap an entire pork in the calamari. I love the sweet basil and Eggplant. Recommend this is like a beef Wellington of Thai food. You can always sell a legit type place if they carry waterfall steak salad. It is super spice and sweet. also ordered the classic pineapple fried rice and pad thai. The server John was giving his great recommendations and were on time. The ambience is great for catching up . We go back for another time.

I came to New Krung Thai with my mom for my birthday. We always go to Original Krung Thai so we want to try New Krung Thai. It was a Monday and we came at 6pm so it wasn't busy until later in the evening. The restaurant is bigger than original KT. There are more tables, but kind of feel they are too close together. As we eat, we realized that because there are more tables which seat more customers, it gets kind of loud with people talking. Original KT is smaller but the ambience is quieter. The server took us to our table and provided us the menu. We looked through the menu and decided what we want and waited for the server to come. It took awhile for our server to come and we had to raise our hands to get his attention. At original KT the server gets our order quickly and when they seat us they will ask us for drinks immediately. New KT server didn't ask us for drinks when he seat us and we had to ask ourselves. The food came out fast and similar quality to Original KT so it is great. My mom mentioned that the seafood doesn't taste as fresh as original KT. The whole time we are eating not one server came to the table to ask us if everything tastes okay or to refill our water. I had to raise my hands multiple times to get a server attention to refill my water. I noticed the server that seat us never came back and was seating in the corner folding napkin. At original KT, servers will check on us several times and refill drinks without us asking. We finished and had 3 dishes leftover. Again we had to raise our hands multiple times to get server attention. We asked for the food to go and the server brought us to go boxes for us to put in. At the original KT the sever will take the leftover food and box the food themselves so we don't have to. Conclusion, the food is good and similar quality with both restaurants. I prefer the quieter atmosphere at original KT. The customer service at new KT is not great so I would not come back to new KT. I would prefer to go original KT. lol

Was in the area and stopped by. This place still has some of the best Thai food in town. I ordered the crab meat with fried noodles. It's not spicy on its own, but I do recommend adding form fresh chopped chilis, dried pepper flakes and some lime. Tastes so good! Ask for TK, he took good care of me while I was there and is very polite. Thank you again!

guessing new krung thai restaurant is their newest location...it's not new...krung thai has been around in the bay area forever...must be still quite popular...super busy on mother's day weekend for saturday lunch...lengthy wait to get a table...a text to come in...finally seated and viewing the menu...scan the qr for a picture menu...service was slow...restaurant was packed, so understandable...able to place an order and waiting...quite a long wait for food to arrive...pad thai with chicken $21.95...portions are individual sized, so not a lot for sharing...flavors were milder...not too tangy or sweet....taking larb and requesting chicken...chicken larb $18.95...served with sweet pepper flower and julienned beets...a nice presentation for a scoop of larb...seasoned and tasting good....beef boat noodle soup $21.95 was an acquired taste...the broth is thick with blood and a distinct herbal taste...very meaty, but something you'll have to get use to...curry crab rice $24.95 was simple, plain and tasted good...specks of crack meat mixed in, but not getting much of the crab flavors....bbq pork fried rice $19.95 was okay in terms of fried rice...probably preferred if everything was cut a bit smaller...some items came out so late we were going to just pay and leave, but eventually came out...overall, the wait for a table takes too long....food is decent, but portions are smaller in comparison...meal took too long due to poor timing of food coming out...the wait and service is what failed here...not the food..

We visited this place after a really long time. The parking lot is quite small , and can fill up pretty quick during busy times. The ambience is pretty decent. Wait time for a table on Saturday evening was approximately 35 mins. As vegetarians we tried the following : Tom Kha Pak : 5/5. This was really tasty. Enjoyed the lemongrass flavor. The only thing I'd change is swap the mushrooms for some other veggie. Basil Fried Vegetable Rice : 5/5. Really enjoyed this. It was the right level of spicy, and liked the variety of veggies it came with. Tofu Kee Mao : 5/5. This had really good flavor. Was slightly more garlicky than I like. But enjoyed it nevertheless. Would definitely be back here.

It's been a long long time since I've been here, probably several years. Server and hostess were a delight and very kind and accommodating. I was shocked that there was not a wait as it was a Saturday and the restaurant was half empty so it wasn't too loud. Pad Thai: 1 stars. Not sure what happened but the noodles is one of the blandest pad Thai I've ever had. Prawns and chicken were fine. 2-3 prawns and some chicken and eggs. Yellow seafood curry: 4 stars. I like that they are able to adjust spice levels. Plenty of seafood, mussels, fish, calamari, prawns. I like that the fish is a thin filet that is coated and fried because it doesn't break apart in the sauce. Good flavors. Papaya salad: 3 stars. we got no spice and got the chili on the side for people who wanted spice. Simple. You can taste the dried shrimp sometimes. Pretty decent flavors.

This is a very nostalgic restaurant for me as I am reminded of my college days going here. Came back here to take my Mom to meet her friends. We ordered pad thai, pineapple fried rice, green curry, chicken satay, drunken noodles, seafood delight and two desserts-- mango with sticky rice and fried banana with mango ice cream. It's always more fun going out with a group so you can share dishes. Still tastes the same and very good. It was a treat to try the mango with sticky rice as I hadn't had that in a long time. Beautiful presentation.

Krung Thai is a pretty well-known restaurant that serves decent Thai food. I've been going here for about 3 years and it's a place where I know the food will be consistent. Prices can be steep but the Bay Area is already expensive. Their parking lot is small, so during busy times, you might have to park in the neighborhood beside it. Wait times can get to an hour so make sure you're there early. This time we got: Cashew Nuts with Seafood (2/5): For $25.95, I would skip this. The entree is small and comes with thick, undercooked green onions. You're better off getting a noodle or rice dish. Basil Fried Rice (4/5): Solid dish. Flavor is almost in your face from the basil, which I love. Could be a little bit salty for some people. Drunken Noodles (4/5): Another solid dish. The flavor is there and it's not too spicy. The noodles are delicious and soft.

This spot is clutch. If I ever need to impress someone or to guarantee a great meal, I will go to Krung Thai. I've never had a meal that was not deli in this restaurant. The parking lot is a bit tricky, but once you get in, the restaurant is a great dining experience. Ornate Asian designs and traditional layout make for a good atmosphere. Quick and prompt seating and service held to move things along while socializing with friends. They have the best pineapple fried rice on the planet! Cooked fresh with flavor and flair, I'm always impressed. This is one of few restaurants where, although I'm happy with my own food, I always want to pick from other people's plate because their dish is delectable too!

I went here with my family, and it's honestly one of the best Thai places I've tried in the Bay Area. The food was delicious and full of flavor--even the soup exceeded my expectations with its rich taste. I was pleasantly surprised by the Thai coffee, which was also really good and served quickly. We tried a few curry dishes that paired perfectly with plain rice, and the overall experience felt quite fancy for the price. I definitely think it's worth the money.
