Krua Thai Cafe in Dallastown - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I have been eating here since they first opened years ago. And while I never dine in, cause I take my food home. I have never had a bad experience ever. The food is always wonderful & delicious. I've had just about everything on the menu, but the spicy pork belly is my absolute favorite. The dressing for the Thai salad is also perfect.

I got the basil hot fried rice here and it was so so good! It heated up very well for leftovers, too. The staff are young and learning but friendly and doing their best, and the atmosphere is really cool. They even have a vault since it used to be a bank! Overall really cool place that adds flavor to Dallastown. Also the Thai iced tea is delicious!

Friendly staff and the food was out of this world. Highly recommend!

Great little place tucked away in an old bank in Dallastown. The big bank vault creates a unique atmosphere. Went with my parents. They do not like hot/spicy food. The owner was very accommodating and made sure nothing was spicy. Here is what we had: spring rolls (10 / 10), bubble tea (9 /10), me hungry (9.5 / 10), pork garlic (9.5 / 10), shrimp pad Thai (10 / 10), fried bananas with ice cream (9.5 / 10). Very satisfied with the delicious / healthy food. We will be back!

Great Thai food and friendly staff. Offers variety of spice level depending on your preference. Unique eat-in experience with the restaurant located in an old bank and the old bank vault door open. Highly recommend for dining in or takeout.

Thai is one of my favorite foods I eat on a weekly basis. I wanted to like this place to support small and local, but I tried multiple dishes from here and all 3 were not good. The portion sizes are all small and overpriced for the lack of quality. I would give them 1 star based on their food, while other places in York have 5 star food with larger portions, great flavor and lots of fresh veggies. I paid $20 for seafood Pad Thai and the seafood was either overcooked and rubbery or mushy with no flavor and there were very little veggies that were also not fresh even after I ordered extra veggies. Their Panang Curry was watery with little flavor and the chicken was overcooked. Drunken noodles are my favorite Thai dish and I wouldn't even order that again from here. I only gave them 2 stars not 1 because the atmosphere/decor is well done and the people are nice... Tho the guy there goes on and on about things I do not want to hear about and it makes me uncomfortable every time, especially when I'm just trying to pick up quickly.

What a great place in an interesting space - thanks Tommy Roc!

Do not order the steak drunken noodle. Supposed to come with basil sauce but came with brown sauce. Fried egg omitted. The steak was the most uninspiring slab of meat I've ever eaten- you'd be happier with the patty off a McRib.

Perfection in Thai cuisine and food in general. I love to not just eat "American" food because there is so much more to life than meat, potatoes, and hamburgers

3 star for service goes to the guy who told me I forgot my car keys on the counter. Food is despicable, has nothing to do with authentic Thai cuisine. Spring rolls from Giant sushi section look much more appealing and yummy than what I got. Cashew noodles with duck had no cashews, neither the duck breast had any juiciness, taste or desire to be served on that plate. Upsetting.

Great food and service. The sauces for each dish are amazing. Lots of parking available too.

Good, authentic thai food. The drunken noodles are good, so is the pad thai and basil fried rice. Loved the satay. Definately get the panang curry and ton kha soup, I love them. Wash it all down with a lovely thai iced tea!

Owners are amazing and there coffee and iced tea are baller

Good food. Completely empty at 1 pm for lunch but we enjoyed our meal. Quirky service. Too many stories which interrupted our meal. Very good sauces! Willing to try it again!

Been here several times now, always thrilled with the food!

We love the food here. Very tasty, delicious

Food was smack go get some worth every penny and it's fresh

Nice overall spot. Easy to find with plenty of parking. Food was delicious. Plate has a nice mild but consistent spice topped with the chicken and vegetables all made a perfect combination. Topped with an egg how can you go wrong.

Unfortunately, this was, by far, the worst chicken Pad Thai I have ever had. I ordered it carry-out and threw it directly in the garbage. ☹️ Could not see but maybe a centimeter of scallions, no bean sprouts 🌱, barely any chicken, and not much flavor. I even tried to add cilantro but there was no salvaging it. Nice owners! The last 4 times I’ve ordered has not been great at all. Disappointing and I’m still hungry. 😢

Went here on a date for dinner. Nice atmosphere, great and friendly service and delicious and fresh food. Although its maybe a bit pricey, its worth it for the authenticity, freshness, quality, and flavor. I ordered the Duck Tamarind and it was both crispy on the outside yet juicy and delicious on the inside. Not dry at all and not soggy either, just right. It also came with yummy Pad Thai. We also got fried tofu and steamed dumplings, both fresh and very tasty. I definitely reccomend!

With the beautiful decor on the walls, it takes one a second or two to realize there is a big bank vault at the back of the dining room. Apparently, the premises was a bank for decades prior to taking on other commercial uses. I enjoyed the Thai iced tea that came without milk, more refreshing along with the meal. Service was friendly and prompt. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious. My big treat today was pad Thai with crispy duck breast slices. Fortunately, there was a large parking lot off the busy street. Looking forward to trying a Thai salad and some curry next time.

A pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. Feels like dining with family. The food is incredibly tasty. I highly recommend the chicken satay.

Takeout experience: I am unsure whether I want to go back to this place. The location is neat with convenient parking and a cool setting. The owners are a husband wife duo who seemed great. The food was tasty BUT it was the smallest serving size I've ever seen in the US or Asia. My husband thought they forgot a dish it was so little.. His spicy massaman was pretty on point and very tasty. Only it came in what restaurants normally give you complimentary/starter soup in, not much at all. My drunken noodles which I hoped would resemble Pad Kee Mao were not even close. More like some random Chinese stir fry with one sad basil leaf 🤷 I may go back just to see they were having an off day? Undecided..

This is my second time visiting...sadly I don't think I'll be going again. The restaurant was busy but that's no excuse for poor service. We were rushed to order when the server finally got to us. The appetizers were cold but we were afraid to say anything for fear of upsetting the server (owner/husband). Food took forever to come. The food was ok. I have a Thai friend who has my standards quite high. If I were the owners, I would hire some staff and work on customer service. I wish them a lot of luck, it's not easy running a small business these days which makes me sad that my experience was so awful :(

Owner was very nice and I liked that it was at an old bank location. However, the food was unfortunately sub par for the price and this will probably be my first and last visit to this place. The portions were tiny for the price and the flavors were just not good. I wish them luck based on their great service but I will not go back for the unsatisfying tasteless food.

Fantastic food! Extremely authentic. Loved the atmosphere and the hospitality. Loved everything about this place. Will be back!

My mind is blown that anyone would give this place a low rating, if anyone is second guessing, do not. If you are from York, you know there are not tons of options in York and appreciate something unique and cultured. There are a handful of Thai places in York and most of them are about equivalent. I have not tried an inferior one i would not visit again. None have disappointed me. I have also lived in Philly for 6 years so i wouldn't praise bad food. I had the Pad thai, which i always seem to get when i get Thai and i had no complaints, i appreciated the amount of spring rolls we received for the money. This place was also really cool as it has an old bank vault inside, and the family that owned the place was very friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely worth the visit, don't let the old brick exterior of the building or random negative reviews change your mind, some people just like to complain.

Absolutely amazing!! Beautiful very clean place well decorated. Husband wife team that make you feel at home. The food is exceptional. Chicken satay and basil fried rice were tied with the best I've ever had. Thai tea was epic. If you are within 30/40 miles of this place it's a no brainer you won't find better in the area.

I love coming here. I wish I could get here more often. Quite and relaxing. Home cooking

Great atmosphere, great food, great people

Stopped in today to try something new in the area and was pleasantly surprised. I had looked into this place a few times but wasn't sure at first. If you're on the fence, go for it. I started with the Tom-Yum shrimp soup. The unique flavor of spice and sweetness had me drinking the broth. I then ordered the Me Hungry meal, because I wanted to try the fried rice and the chicken satay. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and mixed with the sauce and rice it was filling, but not heavy. Made for a very nice late lunch meal. I also ordered the fried bananas and ice cream, and that was delicious as well. I definitely will be back to try something new next time. I recommend to anyone looking to try some good Thai in the area.

Thé atmosphère is really neat. The spring rolls were delicious. But, the edamame was dry and a bit “off”. All the food, except for the spring rolls, was cold. The pad Thai was ok, but a small portion and the noodles were unique. I do appreciate that everything is easily veganized and the owners are very nice. But, there are tastier places to spend your money.

Krua Thai is never busy. Tables are always available....... Yet the food is AMAZING. full of flavor. Just make sure if you want it spicy to let them know.

Great food. One of my new favorite places. Authentic food.

Super nice cozy place! The foods pretty good (The deep fried ice cream is a little thick) But there dumplings and Chicken Satay is amazing! Highly recommend for a sit down meal and the owner is super nice we even got a little guitar solo and had an amazing conversation! Super friendly,good food,and amazing fast service 👍

Great, authentic Thai. Best in the county.

Unfortunately, the worst Thai food I've ever had. Spring rolls were fine, but two of us got curry and it seriously looks like dish water with green oil floating on top. Light on protein, which was actually lucky since my chicken finished cooking hours ago and the beef was more fat and sinew than beef. Don't know what happened, but this is a hard miss. Hope it gets sorted out because it looks like some people have had the opposite experience

We just moved to the Dallastown area and we're excited to see Thai food so close to home. Owners are friendly and take pride in their cooking. I thoroughly enjoyed my Drunken Noodles w/chicken. We will return for a new Pallet experience.

Great little place in Dallastown! And the bank vault is crazy!

The food was excellent. The restaurant space is also charmingly decorated with Thai tapestries, photos and fabrics.

Place is a hit or miss. Got it two weeks ago and it was good! Got it today and it was bad. Like bad bad. We threw it away and got pizza instead. Owner is nice though.

Very tasty dishes coming in great size portions in this awesome atmosphere with lots of history to check into

Best place in Dallastown hands down.

This is a must go to place in York. 5💫

I have been there twice. The owners are very nice and the food is fabulous. Was disappointed that they were not open because they went on vacation. But they were entitled to it and I hope they had a good one

Great Thai restaurant with a cool comic book and card vault! A hidden gem!

Delicious Local Thai Food - Friendly Staff - Quick Service - Affordable - Great Atmosphere

The coconut soup in particular is amazing. The peanut sauce that comes with the chicken satay is the best I've had from any Thai restaurant. Nice and helpful staff. Spacious seating, far apart from the next person. Clean.

Always good and super friendly. Real Thai food. I got the grilled pork special and it was sooooooo good. The green papaya salad was a definite win. Next time I'm asking for more heat (and fish sauce) but the level of spice I got was perfectly balanced with the sticky rice to the point my wife could even try it. Everyone else enjoyed their more standard orders. Basil Fried Rice is always good. Pad Thai (with extra peanut sauce!) is "safe" for beginners. I've never ordered anything bad here. And I never take pictures because I want to eat the moment the food arrives. 1a and 1b between Krua Thai on N. George and this place for Thai in York County. District has more variety outside Thai food and good Pho; they also win for presentation if that matters to you. But Krua probably wins for authenticity, a perfect hand for spice at any level, and consistency. Great, fresh, Thai food and can be made friendly for any diet.

Great atmosphere, great service, and even better food

Great food! Had the Drunken Noodles, first place in this area that didn't overcook the noodles to mush! Great flavors

Friendly owners ....good prices and good food....

Love this place. Great food and service

Very disappointed. We just moved here from Washington state which is full of amazing authentic Thai food. We have been looking for 3 months for a great place in York County to no avail. My husband has been picking it up in Harrisburg. I saw this place on my way to my mom's house and thought it would be great to try it. We always order the same dishes because we like them. Which is Hot basil fried rice vegetable and Thai fried rice chicken. I was excites to eat it when I got home and I couldn't even stand the taste. It had what I would call undertones of old bay. Too much of some spice was used and completely drowned out the basil. It was also not spicy but just tasted bad. My husband had been working in the yard all day and I told him to not expect the taste of what he wanted, but just use and open mind and think of it as a different dish. Hoping that he could eat it. He tried and took 2 bites. He didn't end up eating anything but 2 spring rolls. The food my daughters ate had very little chicken in it. Theirs however did have the authentic flavor so that was good. The photo attached to my review is my husband's plate from last night. Yes, a whole 16 hours ago because it was gross. We were seriously hoping this place would do it because it is a convenient location for us to pick up on the way home from visiting family. $60 of food in the trash. :( I am not one to leave negative reviews but I could not stomach it and neither could my husband. I also want to note that the owner's husband was very nice. He praised his wife's cooking abilities, which I admire. Definitely a nice family owned business. Just not great food. Also, I actually never leave bad reviews unless they are warranted. You can see it in my local guide history. And, yes...it tasted like old freaking bay. I hate that stuff, to begin with. I haven't had a chance to throw away the boxes in the fridge yet I can bring it back if you want to taste and see for yourself. I also want to point out that I help people with their reviews for a living and this is not the appropriate way to handle a negative review. People can see your defensiveness is pretty high. 😍

Passing through town on our way to Philly and stopped in for lunch. Probably the most authentic Thai food we’ve ever had and everything was delicious. Drunken noodles, spring rolls, and spicy basil Thai rice. Server was cool; he had so many interesting stories. We will definitely be stopping by on our way back home.

Delicious meal and amazing customer service, the owner was really nice and chatty ☺️

Great food...authentic cuisine and wonderful service. Eat in or take out...it's all good!

Great food and the portions are huge (two meals worth). Fast pickup service too.

Great local authentic Thai. Extra friendly staff always a pleasure to pick up and shoot the breeze.

Excellent service every time, and my food always tastes great!

Great food huge portions very friendly owner. Definitely will be back.

This place is awesome!!!! Food is amazing!!! So much flavor.

Very very good food att: dominican republic

YOU NEED TO EAT HERE AWSOME SERVICE AND FOOD IS STUNNING 😍

Krua Thai is a solid local choice for authentic Thai cuisine. Locally owned and family operated they provide a wide range of selection in a unique setting. Krua Thai is located in a former bank and some of the original features are still present such as the vault. #eatlocal #shoplocal #supportlocal

Smh. Went to Krua Thai in Dallastown and this is our papaya salad (only one peanut, one green pepper, no avocado, no shrimp) and our drunken noodles (one broccoli, one green bean) for $22 so I call them and they deny they would make it like that...what??? I will never go again.

Fantastic and speedy service, delicious food, and an overall relaxing environment. I’ve been going here on a regular basis for a few months now and each time it gets better. Plus tons of vegan options!

Delicious authentic Thai food !!! So yummy!!! Will accommodate order for vegetarian and gluten-free* great experience 😊

Great food and service there drunken noodles are awsome

Great authentic food. Good flavor and awesome service.

Really Neat little mom and pop style shop! Brought 4 of my friends after the first visit with me and one other friend and they all loved it. One of my friends is vegan and doesn’t get to try or experience much variety in dine in’s since most places have very few select items that are vegan friendly. I am highly impressed with the owner’s wife (the chef’s) extreme versatility and ability to adapt most of the dishes to the vegan palette. We all enjoyed our meals! The Owner and server is super friendly and very conversational which gives a very welcoming vibe and the interior design is amazing! BONUS: The Chef is a Speed Queen, while maintaining highly quality taste 🤩 you will never wait long for your food. Kisses to the Chef 💋 Ps: The Gyoza steamed dumplings with special soy sauce is a must have!

🎶Delicious meals, great owners, and a wonderful musical surprise. Thanks so much for sharing your God given gift with my Fiance´ and I. It truly was a great time eating there. So glad we stopped!🎸🎤

So disappointed. I got the Tom Kha Gai soup & Pad Thai. The soup had NO FLAVOR. All I tasted was sweet coconut milk. I ended up taking it home and adding ginger, lemongrass, fish sauce, red curry paste & lime. Then I had to add veggies. All it had was a handful of carrots, a couple mushrooms and a couple pieces of chicken. Then the pad Thai...ewww! So sweet. It was like sugar syrup and a couple of canned pea shoots were the only vegetables. Again, took home and added fish sauce, red curry paste, lime juice and some veggies. PS - NO MASKS on any staff in front or back of house.

My first time eating Thai. I'm glad I chose Krua Thai Cafe. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. The food was delicious. If you like spicy, choose medium. For me, it was the perfect heat to accent the taste of the food.

Very good food. Very friendly staff.

Thai is my favorite Asian cuisine. This is some of the best I’ve had. Excellent flavors. Highly recommended!

A lovely and calming spot near home. The owners are very friendly and love to talk, there is beautiful art adorning the dining area. I love Thai tea and was very excited to find this place only five minutes down the street !! Support your local businesses :)

I love this place. So glad I found this gem and its so close to home. Owners are wonderful. Food is incredible. So nice to have someone serving up some fresh and unique food for this area. HIGHLY recommend.

My wife's favorite thai food in the area. Good service, good food. Definitely worth a visit!

Delicious food. Really nice owners and staff. Very clean, pretty environment. Check it out!

Didn’t buy food from here because the were more expensive than the my other Thai place. Although the sticky rice and Thai tea that I bought were good. Just a little too expensive for the amount your getting.

Edit: Thanks to the owner for a response to let me know my extremely slight complaint has been noted. I have changed my review to 5 stars. This place is truly a gem. The spicy pork belly is great & the tamarind duck is something of legend. Like, truly, I would consider offering my first born child for the duck recipe. The building is unique, being in an old bank. Seeing the vault door & its inner workings is pretty neat. The service was good & fast. So, why not a 5-star review? To be honest, I feel a little bad writing this, but I’m hoping it reaches the owner to take into consideration. The owner is a very pleasant, personable & kind man (which is why I feel bad writing this), but when I get my food I honestly just want to be left alone to enjoy my meal. Both times I’ve come the owner has talked my & my company’s ears off. When I go out to eat, I want to relax, enjoy a little relative silence or conversation amongst my company & enjoy my meal. Last time he talked to us for 5-10 minutes after giving us our food. It feels rude to just start cramming delicious food into my face while someone is talking to me, so I obliged & listened to him speak when I really just wanted to be left alone & start eating. Again, a very nice guy, don’t let this detract from the amazing food & service! This is just the best way I could think of to make the suggestion without being done rudely or awkwardly in person. I love Krua Thai!

the shrimp soup w lemongrass was great.

Love this place. The inside is so cool. It's a renovated bank that's been converted to a restaurant. The food is excellent. Very authentic. Plus the owner is super friendly and nice. They're from New England. Bonus points because he hates the Patriots.

Not a lot of variety in the area, which makes Krua Thai shine even brighter. Always very fresh and the flavors killer. You can taste the effort and love

I'm impressed. Came in with little hope, walked out knowing I'd be back again. I got the Pad Ka Pow Kai Dow made spicy. It has the perfect amount of flavor and spice I like spicy, but not too the point where it is over powering . The spring rolls are fantastic (the sauce really makes them great) and have since gotten several orders for a great take out snack. Happy to have found this little gem in Dallastown. I hope it continues to wow me.

Delicious! Was a little nervous about Thai food but had the Krua Thai fried rice and it was incredible.

This restaurant is beautiful, with lots of Asian art and beautiful Thai silk red and silver curtains. The food was so good, I recommend the fish dishes and the curry, it is just like the food I ate in Thailand because the owner brings back Thai spices instead of substituting certain spices with whatever is in PA. I must say I really appreciate their effort to make authentic Thai food. I would definitely return when I am back in this area.

Love this place! There's no better place for Thai food in this area - the restaurant is nicely laid out and service is always quick. Everything I've had has been super tasty. Parking is easy too as they have their own lot.

I enjoy Thai food, but most places are following a similar template with a broad similarity between restaurants and between dishes in the same restaurant. This place is different. We ordered three different dishes, and they were very different. The variety and range of flavours was refreshing and delicious. The restaurant was very accommodating for vegetarians and for heat allowing all sorts of substitutions and alterations to suit a wide variety of preferences. Our only regret is that the staff were woefully uninformed about the menu. However, they were quite willing to run back to kitchen to answer our questions. At the end of the meal, one of the owners, Tom, came out to check up on our meal. Although it would be nice to have a knowledgable staff, getting an half hour of Tom's stories was even better. I cannot guarantee that Tom will come out with every meal, but if he does come to ask you about your meal, spend the time listening to his stories about how he met his wife an started this restaurant.

Amazing food. Great service. I'll be coming again!

I just noticed I reviewed Krua Thai back in 2016. Well, it's 06/2019 now. In my first review I said I've visited there 18 times. Just went there yesterday, and that brought my current total to 107 times :) According to my expenses database, I've spent $2,866.88 there so far. I regret not a single penny of that. If anything, it's gotten even better over the years. Tommy & Aree definitely know how to satisfy customers; the food is exquisite. The only thing that annoyed me was getting stuff in sauce to go... it'd leak from the container and you get home with a bag of soup lol. They now use tupperware type containers that seal, so no more soup bags. With that problem resolved, I can't think of anything I can complain about save that the entrees are so good I wish I could order three at once to enjoy the varied flavors but my stomach would kill me if I ate that much lol

Food was very good. Love the charm inside.

I return here again and again for the simple reason that this is some of the best Thai food I have ever had. Great variety. Great service. Cannot go wrong. And the leftovers are nearly as terrific

Got our take out tonight, and it was great as usual! If you've been bored with the same old 'Chinese' food that you can get anywhere, try out Krua Thai for something different, some very authentic and delicious Thai food. So worth the little extra cost. The staff is amazing! Highly recommended for a dinner party. So much attention to detail. Family friendly and BYOB.

This place has the best Thai food I've ever had. It was spicy, flavorful, and just delicious. The bubble tea was the perfect sweetness. Mango and sticky rice for dessert was on point. Our server was incredibly eccentric and really just wouldn't stop talking while we were trying to eat, but it was tolerable.

The best and most authentic Thai food I have ever enjoyed. You need to try this gem of a restaurant. LOVE IT.

Small family owned restaurant. Very friendly service and authentic food. Thought the portions were a little on the small side for the money, but the food was very good. Overall a good experience.

Awesome food, couldn't ask for nicer owners!

Thaied for our favorite place to get Thai in York. See what I did? Anyway. I never seem to take pictures when I go here because I just start eating. Aroma. Taste. All of it is great. Get the pork belly if they have it! It can run salty, but it's so good.
