Let's get the easy stuff out of the way first. Krob Krua is a character in a long-running Thai comic strip from the 1930's. The main character is a small, mop headed kid with eyes who is friends with a beagle and a toy tiger. I may have mistranslated this. The "kitchen" here makes Thai-influenced food. It is very, very swell. Mrs. KC and I were very impressed with our meals, and are greatly looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended! 5
Excellent food , everything was amazing
We were quite surprised by the quality, taste and overall fluidity of this restaurant. We started with the Crab and Shrimp dumplings, a winner in my book. I had Pad Thai with Shrimp, and my wife had the eggplant and basil dish. We were thrilled with the two entrees. We will most definitely go back, winner winner chicken dinner.
Came to Eugene w/ a girlfriend from Seattle. Brought her here to be impressed; Krob Krua nailed it. Excellent food. Prices very reasonable. Startlingly beautiful presentation. See photos. Drinks were original, well-balanced, and delicious. Wait staff, Harmony, was knowledgeable about customer experience with spice levels, very pleasant, and attentive. Lovely energy and vibe; dining experience exceeded our expectations. Vegetable spring rolls came out perfectly crispy and tasty. Chicken and mushroom shu mai-style dumplings lived up to all the hype. ($13) Seriously. Definitely order those. Pad See Ew was elevated by very tender pieces of pulled chicken. Whole bass was impressive. Perfectly done. Sauce was a bit salty for our taste, but noodles balanced that out. (Just $26) Steak salad with lettuce wraps was a great dish with significant slices of beef. ($17) One regret: we didn't have room for dessert otherwise we would have ordered the mango rice.
I recently moved here from NY and this was my first time eating here this evening. The food and service was so refreshingly tasteful. It is the first time in a long time that I thoroughly enjoyed the sit down restaurant experience! Our server was kind and helpful in ordering and helped me decide the appropriate spice level for my Pad Kra Pow. From the beverages, appetizer, main entree and dessert, the whole dine in experience was positively memorable. I would highly suggest going at the beginning of dinner service, for the best dine in experience, as it got busier closer to six thirty in the evening when we finished at our table for two. The carryout orders were consistently streaming out the door and the ambiance and decor was eclectic and cozy. The Thai food was refined, elegant and the variety of choices on the menu was just right. Thank you for reminding me how pleasant and satisfying dining out in a local restaurant can be! Vegetarian options: I enjoyed the choice of tofu as a protein for my dish and the appetizer, the curry puffs had all vegetable filling and quite delicious- I am not vegetarian, but enjoy having a good selection of vegetable dishes to choose from on the menu. All the ingredients were fresh and prepared to preserve their delicious flavor. Parking: the parking lot adjacent to restaurant has enough spaces to accommodate, but even if full there is plenty of metered spots on the street. Kid-friendliness: There was a family with two small children sitting next to us and the host brought crayons and color book for the older child (the other child was a baby), they seemed to feel comfortable and content while they dined.
Don’t even wait.. just head there and eat.. you’ll be very happy. The other reviews nail the fact that they give you a warning on the authentic flavors and spice level. We got 2, 3, and 4 level dishes and for our Arizona-seasoned palettes the 4 was fine and I’d likely push a 5 next time we go and see if my nose runs ;) The Brussels sprout dish is awesome. Red curry and pad Thai were delicious. They bring hot tea in their own loose leaf French press, and all 3 types we had were delicious. Family style and we loved it! Highly highly recommend!
Food was amazing. I got 3 meals out of one entree and an app. I love this peanut sauce!
