Krua Thai Chula Vista

We stopped by this place, and wow, the food was really good! The flavors were spot on — everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. I especially enjoyed the red curry; it was rich and flavorful without being too spicy.

There was a long line when we arrived, which shows how popular this spot is. Just a heads-up, they don’t have any sit-down dining — it’s all to-go orders only. My food took about 30 minutes to be ready, so it wasn’t super quick, but you can tell they take their time to prepare everything carefully.

Overall, if you’re okay with waiting a bit and want tasty food with bold flavors, this place is definitely worth trying!

Small family owned restaurant with amazing food. Most of menu can be made gluten free. Service was great with one negative, we had to wait over half an hour after we were done eating because our waitress was dealing with pick up orders in between tables. So while I would definitely eat there again, I would ask for the check up front and pay immediately so I don't have to wait too long after I'm done eating.

This place deserves 0 stars. Trust me when I say say you don’t want to eat here. I bought take out on Friday, 04/18/25, and my Fried Pad Thai Rice had worms/ maggots in it. We saw them after we had eaten our food. My husband is currently sick experiencing, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. He is now having to go to the doctor.This is completely unacceptable, unsanitary and a health risk.

A quiet, little gem that has been our go to for take out Thai food for several years. Love the food and the service!

Craving for Thai food while we're in the Chula Vista area.
Penang Beef Curry - it's rich, creaminess and just medium spicy level as we requested is so good.
Al dente veggies which is great. It could had been perfect if the sauce was thicker. 4/5
Shrimp Roll - freshly made vegetables/shrimp with two great choices of sauce. It was delicious.
5/5
Mixed Seafood Pad Thai - great combination of sourness and sweetness; its noodles is great. I wish there's more sauce because any leftover/ to-go PadThai absorbs the sauce and becomes little dry. Also, squid is little rubbery/chewy. 3/5
Mango Sticky Rice - love the sweet gooey sticky rice with the coconut sauce but I guess it's not really mango season. The mango is not the type of mango I was expecting or had from other Thai restaurants. 4/5
Great customers service! Would come again and try their different dishes. Few parking in front of restaurant; it's mostly along the street.

Small location but the food and service are excellent. I stopped in for a quick to go dinner just before closing. Ordered the Pad Thai and mango sticky rice. I was told the mango was not in season and while they had mango, I might not like it. So, I ordered just the sticky rice.

Both the Pad Thai and Sticky Rice portions were huge. And both were excellent.
