Dining at Tha Phraya was a pleasant experience. The ambience of the restaurant and the service was great. The food was delicious with the right amount of spice levels for someone who liked spicy food. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly on a Saturday evening, so reservations are always a good idea. I liked that we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal.
Nice environment and service! We ordered shrimp karee and crab fried rice lava. Shrimp karee was very flavorful and we loved it! But crab fried rice lava did not our expectation since it looked so good on the menu - the fried rice was tame。
The service was great, and all the food tasted really good. The only downside is that the place gets very crowded, so it can feel a bit cramped and noisy. I definitely recommend making a reservation. They give you a 90-minute dining time, and if you walk in without a reservation, you may have to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
