Krung Thai - San Jose

Found our way to this old restaurant when our favorite Thai restaurant closed down. It became a Chinese noodle place. We were craving for some stir fry noodle so we could not settle with some other noodle. There were two Krung Thai and the one we went to was the original one.

It was a Saturday afternoon around lunch time so the place was quite full. We got a table for two right away. Some other patrons were just finishing up. We got the menu and were able to make up our mind pretty fast. Tummy ruled !

I got the vegetarian pad kee mao (stir fry rice noodle with tomato and basil) and hubby got the jun pad po (stir fry vermicelli with crab meat). While waiting for the food I looked around the restaurant and thought it looked expanded and bigger compared to what I remember it before.



My pad kee mao only had one or two slices of tomatoes and I couldn't taste much of basil. Usually basil and tomatoes are pretty dominant in pad kee mao. My pad kee mao only has a stingy amount of baby corn and mushroom and the rest was chinese broccoli. Some other Thai restaurants would throw in tofu when I requested vegetarian version. This version of drunken noodle was a disappointment.

Hubby's stir fry vermicelli with crab was better than mine. The size was smaller than other restaurants we have been to. But at least the taste was on par in comparison.

All in all both noodle dishes were okay. Nothing blew our mind that convinced us of another future visit.
