About This Spot
Stepping into Krua Thai Restaurant feels like finding a quiet gem tucked away just off the beaten path in Abilene. The pace here is unhurried and inviting — a place where familiar faces and warm smiles welcome you like an old friend, and the air carries a subtle blend of fragrant herbs and spices that hints at the thoughtful care behind every dish.
With its intimate, family-owned atmosphere, Krua Thai offers more than just a meal; it invites you into a shared moment of connection. The space may be modest, but it hums with the comfort of routine and genuine hospitality. It’s easy to slip into a relaxed conversation or simply soak in the calm, letting the flavors of home-style Thai cooking unfold gently on your palate.
Here, the culinary experience is deeply personal. Whether it’s the vibrancy of a curry crafted with a gentle kick or the satisfying warmth of a noodle soup, the food feels deliberate and attentive. You can tell the kitchen listens — accommodating preferences and dietary needs with a quiet attentiveness that makes each plate feel thoughtfully tailored.

Krua Thai is a space where neighbors drop in, families gather, and the smallness of the place only adds to its sense of genuine belonging.

Great curry! There are a lot of entrees that can be made vegan. The owner made sure to ask us if we wanted to omit fish sauce, before we mentioned we wanted the vegan version. The food was AMAZING. I got curry with no spice and it had just a little kick, but not enough to bother me. The fried tofu was great too! The curries are all gluten free. The menu specifies what you can and cannot have if you're vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free. I highly recommend checking this place out. There is only 2 tables that accommodate 4 people and 3 tables that accommodate 2 people. So not great for big parties. Recommend getting take out if you have a big party.

Krua Thai is amazing. Nice family owned place that is authentic. Good amount of food that always tastes good. I have never had a bad experience. My wife and I love the Curries. Everything else is amazing as well, we just love Curry with rice. Get a Thai tea too!

This place has delicious and very flavorful food. They can do Thai spicy right! They have a great mix of heat along with flavor. Staff is very friendly and courteous. This place is a must try when in Abilene!!!

When I go to a thai restaurant for the first time, I always judge it by their pad thai. Honestly, I've had much better, but the redeeming factor was the teriyaki chicken and the chicken satay. I grew up in the Seattle area, where teriyaki joints are as plentiful as coffee shops, but I will say, I was very impressed to find such good teriyaki at a hole in the wall thai place. For that reason, I will give the 5 stars, thanks for the friendly service and great food

Love the Chinese sweet and sour and my husband loves the red curry and sticky rice with banana. Son loves the noodles. She is very friendly and always remembers us. Seating is limited, we are usually taking it home to eat anyway.

Until 6 months ago I’d never tried Thai food (I’m 71). I kept reading wonderful reviews of this tiny restaurant so I stopped by. I felt right at home with the great decor and sarcastic little signs on the wall warning to behave or leave. I guessed at a dish on the menu and I was blown away with the explosion of tastes and textures in my mouth!! I usually try something different at every visit and I’m never let down. I’m a weekly regular and I highly recommend you give them a try. Warning…. Start with a level one for the spice level and go up if you can handle the heat!!! Don’t forget to order a side of spring rolls or shrimp rolls!!!!
