Krachai Thai Kitchen - Phoenix

The menu is pretty average, but unfortunately they don't have a basil stir fry dish. There are plenty of parking spaces available. The restaurant is filled with natural light, which may be a bit overpowering. The background music is pleasant. We tried three dishes: beef salad, crab fried rice, and Tom Yum soup with shrimp. All of them were delicious and full of flavor. The spice selection includes Thai chili with fish sauce, dry chili powder, chili oil, and Sriracha. My favorite is the fish sauce chili. I like my food very spicy, so I usually go for level 2 or 3 spiciness to bring out the best flavors.

My husband and I dined at this restaurant for the first time tonight, and it was also our first experience trying authentic Thai food. We absolutely loved it! The pumpkin curry had a fantastic flavor with perfectly balanced spices, and it was also very affordable. The only minor issue was that there were only a few pieces of chicken in my dish, but the overall taste and abundance of vegetables made up for it. I will just request extra meat next time. I highly recommend this place!

The food was served quickly and was delicious. The staff was welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of. We have been on the hunt for a new Thai restaurant and we think this might be the one! Although we stuck to the regular menu items tonight, we are looking forward to trying more dishes in the future.

Update: This restaurant is still amazing. I tried the Tom Kha soup with Tofu. It was one of the best soups I ever had. And our waitress May was the best!! She was so kind and made sure we loved our food. My husband ordered the Prik Khing chicken, and he also loved his food. They went beyond and beyond to make sure that my husband got certain vegetables that he also liked in his court. Delicious Thai food! I had the garlic pepper with tofu, and my husband had the yellow curry. He loved him too. I love tofu and are usually limited by the small number of tofu options. This restaurant gives you tons of tofu options as they can do almost any dish with tofu instead of meat. I live pretty close to this restaurant, but that was my first time. I will definitely be back, there are so many things I would like to try!

I really enjoy eating here. I usually get their medium spicy fried rice or pad Thai with tofu, depending on what I'm craving. The flavor is dynamic and taste homecooked. I would highly recommend eating here if you're in the mood for Thai food and need to fill a craving. Also, their Thai tea is delicious and a must buy.
