As a Thai American, honestly I would have never guessed that I would find an authentic Thai restaurant in Harbor City. Since the area is prominently non Thai or Asian, I had made assumptions about this Thai spot. I was wrong. I was so crazy wrong. Krata is actually cooking Thai food with authentic flavors. I was impressed! Krata is creative with presentation and introduces new Thai dishes that I never tasted before that my critical Thai mom would approve. Khao Soi with roasted duck breast, presentation was 10/10 along with concentrated curry flavors, both slippery & crunchy egg noodles, mustard greens and it was amazing. One of the best I've had. That roasted duck with crispy skin, yummy! For anyone who has a fitness goal and wants a chicken breast with thai flavors, get their chicken satay. Basically it's sliced grilled chicken breast that's flavorful. If you want something more tender, get the grilled Pork Jowl/Cheeks because that Thai dipping sauce it is paired with is damn spicy but so addictive. I noticed everyone ordered a different type of fried rice. I am so glad that I did. These are not ordinary types of fried rices. You can pick from their classic but have fun flavors like green curry, pineapple, crab, spicy basil but we opted for the red chili paste fried rice with fried shrimp. The presentation was magnificent and the flavors were wow. This spicy red chili thai fried rice with a mountain of fried shrimp. Loved the textures. Eveyone talks about Tom Yum or Tom Kha Soup (coconut), it was first time trying Gaeng RanJuan Beef Soup. Loved it. The flavors are comforting and the beef was tender. It’s sour, spicy and great on a rainy day with steamed rice. This restaurant is welcoming. The service is attentive. It’s a local restaurant that deserves more love and support. The restaurant is clean and spacious. You can’t forget, you must order the roti with curry dipping sauce. So much fun to eat and dip into your curries and soup during your meal.

I’m obsessed with Thai curry 🍛 and all the food that I got was really good! The tomyum soup is soo sooo good! I love how it has a lot of seafood inside. The flavor is soo deep and delicious. I was shooked. I also loved the roasted duck curry! Ambiance is nice and casual, The service is 10/10 the sever made sure we got the best dishes from appetizer to main course.

Squid. Neither raw nor overdone. Texture perfect and so is taste. Khao Soi noodles, chicken. Meat is perfectly succulent and juicy. Soup spicy a medium way as asked for, perfect heat. With lime, and perfect pickled vegetables the sour counterbalances on the tongue with the spicy in a grounding energy and dance. The crispy noodles and the soft yet firm chewy noodles dunked in soup, set on a small plate to again balance with the chicken and lime and pickled vegetables makes for a perfect course. The pad Thai with beef has similar assurance. Thank you to this restaurant.
