Krua Thai am Heumarkt in Köln

Delicious and generous portions, quick to prepare.

Superb food. Nice street food style. Would absolutely come again. 👍👍

The food was delicious and the restaurant was nicely decorated. Unfortunately, the staff was very unfriendly and bored, but you probably don't need friendliness here.

I ordered takeaway, the packaging was very good, the noodles and soup were separate, so delicious! Very friendly to Asian stomachs, pad Thai is not greasy, and beef rice noodles have a bit of Chinese feel

Authentic Thai Flavors Just Like Home If you're craving real Thai food that tastes just like it does in Thailand, this Thai restaurant won't disappoint. The chef is Thai, and the flavors are spot on — rich, balanced, and unmistakably authentic. Thai customers will feel right at home with the taste. The portions are generous, but don’t worry — takeaway boxes are available if you can’t finish everything. It’s also perfect for sharing, as dishes can be ordered as sides to enjoy together, Thai family-style. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with tasteful Thai decor, clean and well-maintained restrooms, and soft/popular Thai music playing in the background. The restaurant is located right by the main road, easily accessible by public transport. It’s a popular spot with a steady stream of customers, but it’s not overcrowded. The overall vibe is cozy and relaxing. I brought my Thai parents here, and they absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true taste of Thailand abroad — with reasonable prices and a setting that feels like home.

delicious, love the authentic flavor with Litsea

Thai food. Very similar to real Thai flavors.

Authentic food and drinks. Great value for money :)

Authentic Thai self-service restaurant, friendly service, good prices, delicious food

The place is really nice and clean. The kitchen is very tidy and clearly visible. First impressions were good. So I ordered fried rice noodles and satte gai, and I actually wanted a tom yam gai (without coconut milk), but unfortunately, that wasn't available. Which I don't understand, because you can simply leave it out when cooking. So I had to have a vegetable soup. Unfortunately, the vegetable soup was full of pepper, which made it inedible. The pad Thai was delicious. The taste was top-notch. I haven't had such good pad Thai (thai-style fried rice noodles) in a long time. The satte gai were also good; the meat was of good quality, and the dip was good too. The system is similar to a fast-food restaurant. You order and pick up the food when the number rings.

Whether it's Pat Thai or fried noodles with meat, you can hardly taste the difference. The lady at the cash register was a disaster. We weren't very familiar with the different options. She was annoyed by this, and instead of advising us, she said, "How could she possibly know what we like?" The nice lady still needs to work on her friendliness and customer service. The soup served beforehand was delicious... The show kitchen is super clean, and the atmosphere in the shop is nice. However, for two dishes and a soup for €36.00, you'd expect better quality...

The restaurant is a mix between a snack bar and a self-service restaurant. Very tasty authentic Thai food. The Pad Thai with the shrimp was very tasty. Papaya salad also very good. All in all it tasted like Thailand. We won't be there for the last time.

Absolute recommendation ... great fresh food and super ambience

Very good for a quick lunch. Fair prices and delicious soups.

Had a meal in this shop on the weekend. Unfortunately, my wife suffered food poisoning and spent the night sleepless and sick. Gastrointestinal and nausea. This store will never see us again

Absolutely recommended and our personal must-do on every trip to Cologne. Delicious dishes, fresh ingredients and reasonable prices.

Very bad, unpleasant welcome, avoid!

Unfortunately I fell for the good reviews. We had picked up the dish C3 (yellow curry with chicken). Despite the spiciness level ordered, zero spiciness. Completely Europeanized food. Little chicken, little vegetables, little sauce. Loveless mass processing. Never authentic Thai cuisine. Order somewhere else!

Came here more than 10 times still don’t understand why the staff have to be so rude when people orderi in English????? Can’t remember how many tjmes, one time might be just coincidence but NO

Great food served quickly...just a little salty for my taste ... excellent value ...will give it another try ...

I came to visit Cologne and I found Krua Thai restaurant. The food here has a variety of menus and the taste is delicious, affordable , large dishes I highly recommend this restaurant

Super tasty and authentic Thai food. Plus it's inexpensive. We'll be back.

Great reliable thai food, nice people, busy and popular. Good value and a great spot to people watch the comings and goings from Heumarkt 😀

Delicious Pad Thai at a very good price.

Never again! After years of being regular customers, we were served an inferior dish. The young boss of the Heumarkt branch reacted to the request for improvement in an arrogant and know-it-all manner. Very disappointing…

Solid Thai restaurant for Germany. In Deutschland it’s often hard to find Thai restaurants that serve pad si ew and willing to actually make your dish spicy. This place hit the spot. Also I like ordering and paying first rather than waiting around all day for the check.

Ordered by phone to take away. The order was only taken after I arrived. To do this, you first reached into the leftover container with your bare hand and pulled out a roasted duck. Everything would have been fine if you didn't play games like that. I'm glad I didn't eat here after seeing the picture with the mouse.

I have been coming to this restaurant for quite some times , but today I saw a tiny rat ( mouse ) running around while eating and I ended up raising this issue with the chef , even if I approached him nicely he was very dismissive and he said “okay what “ instead of apologizing or comforting me that they will take care of this . This is completely unacceptable and also a health hazard because that means there are even more rats that I haven’t seen .

Great Thai, very uncomplicated, centrally located and more than fair in price… When I'm in the Maritim opposite, I usually go here, but next door I also try solid Rhenish ones Kitchen in the Malzmühle… Rating refers to the price/performance level, there are better Thais, but everything comes together here in an uncomplicated, tasty and moderately priced way.

Super delicious healthy food. Just the right thing after kebab, curry sausage and fries. Service friendly and accommodating. Nice conversation with the owner who came to our table to chat with us about the Cologne Carnival. Thank you very much and greetings from the Tölzers from Upper Bavaria.

Simple authentic thai restaurant. Great place for a quick lunch

Good and solid Thai. Price performance top

The food was very good and reminded you of a vacation in Thailand.

The food was okay. Unfriendly staff, no hello, thank you etc.

Best phad krapao moo I've had in Europe! Aroi mak mak! :) Simple set-up but spacious and clean with friendly service. We'll be back next time we go to Cologne!

A great value for fans of Asian cuisine. We went there twice, and we were absolutely not disappointed. Fresh and quality cuisine. Fast service. I recommend

What a gem !!! Fantastic Thai food 👌. Absolutely wonderful delicious authentic Thai cuisines. Excellent service. Can't wait for a second fix ! Thank you so so much for such a lovely meal. It was like being in Thailand again!!!. Gorgeous.

It's been on my list for a long time 😃 Ingredients are very tasty, you can taste the freshness. Everything is delicious, and they have Gaffels Fassbrause Lemon!!!

Comimos aquí dos veces durante nuestro fin de semana en la ciudad. Precios muy razonables y servicio rápido. La comida sabe bien. El restaurante es de autoservicio. Buen ambiente ocupado. Puedes entrar y esperar una mesa. Nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa en ambas visitas. Es un lugar bastante pequeño, pero las mesas parecían girar rápidamente. El menú estaba en alemán, pero google translate lo resolvió. Realmente nos alegramos de haber encontrado este lugar.

Super tasty, fast and freshly prepared Thai dishes. You order at the counter and when the buzzer rings you pick up your plate of food and look for a table. So an ideal place for a quick meal, but not for a long meal. Also takeaway. The flavors are very good, you can taste the wok, lots of fresh vegetables and Thai flavors of sour, sweet, salty and spicy. Friendly employees. Take your plate to the dishes yourself. Friendly prices for a large plate of Thai food, you pay around 10-13 euros.

Tasty food, good service and kind staff... Love it!!!

I used to love this place. But last night my friends and I saw three rats walking around. When the workers noticed our reaction, one of them made fun of us. I don't know if this is normal in Germany, or in Thailand, but it certainly shouldn't.

Food was not tasty, very salty. Pad Thai tasted like ketchup. Cashier was impatient. The interior is neat but there is no atmosphere.

Catastrophe, I ordered something vegetarian and I got food that tasted completely like meat... I couldn't eat it at all, after which I politely asked if I could complain about it, the disrespectful woman at the checkout said to me, darling call and do not want to take the food back under any circumstances. It tasted like disaster. In the end I had to pay full price for a new dish. The store was last entered!

We were here spontaneously today at around 9 p.m. with 4 people and were pleased with the humorous, friendly service! Everyone also found something delicious on the menu (vegan/vegetarian). We'll be back because we really enjoyed it!

Very bad and not extensive food. And very unfriendly staff.

The food is delicious and better than in many other Asian places we tried, although very salty. Price is okay, portion is big. Tasty limonades. A central location, directly at Tram station Heumarkt. "-" for a not so comfortable environment, looks not finally constructed, not cosy. And plastic cups for the drinks are not sustainable!

The best thai restaurant in Cologne!! Really original thai foods. Good location, in thr center of town, nearby public transport. The prices are reasonable. Very nice staffs as well as the atmosphere. Very high recommended! Enjoy your dining.

Big tasty portions with friendly staff and cool ambiance just facing the tram! Good prices too

Tasty and normal price food, big plates and portions, for 12 euro you could have a lot of tasty food which is cooking in front of you

I love the food very authentic. In this restaurant is self service. I bought for my friends as well, they all love it! Very busy restaurant but everything is fast and the food is lecker! The atmosphere as when I was there 3-4 kids screaming, so noisy.

Unpersönlich,unfreundlich,vollkommen desinteressiert das Personal. Das schlechteste thailändische Essen ,was ich jemals gegessen habe. Überall Schmutzecken...Ich frage mich ganz ernsthaft,wie das Lokal 5 1/2 Sterne bekommen kann.Da kann ja wohl etwas nicht stimmen....

Not so good, not so bad ... I said twice "please, not so spicy" (nicht so scharf bitte) but my Tom Yam was very red because of pepper. And rice is not included. Maybe you'll like it more if you are really into spice🥲

It tasted good, but everything was missing the final whistle. The absence of fresh coriander in the Pad Thai or the lack of aroma of Kaffir lemon leaves in the Tom Kah Gai soup... I've had worse food, but also a lot better.

The food was very tasty. The price-performance ratio was ok

Very tasty fresh thai food, pad thai noodles with shrimps. Very good value quality place to eat. Try it!

Visit September 29, 2024 Shortly before the store closed it spontaneously snowed in here. Very friendly staff. Chicken curry very tasty. Cheap snack. Gladly again.

On était allé parce que c’était marqué pas très cher avec une bonne note bon en tant français c’est cher un plat et environ à 11 € pour commencer et ça monte jusqu’à 16 c’est pas exceptionnellement bon c’est correct c’est frais on voit que c’est cuisiné directement sur place avec des aliments frais, ça c’est très bien. Mais bon, le raccord rapport qualité prix est pas super En tant que nourriture thaï, j’ai connu mieux

Ordered a vegan takeaway dish but received one with eggs. Unfortunately I only noticed it when I unpacked it at home. September 14th, 6 p.m

Absolutely amazing! One of the best Thai curry I had in Germany! Authentic taste, quick service and reasonably priced! Highly recommend! Good vegetarian options!

Super deliciously seasoned! Great menu in this self-service restaurant. Like the location right on the Heumarkt. snack bar atmosphere; It's quick, but still a cozy shop!

Delicious. One point deducted because sometimes there seems to be too much sugar in the sauces. Otherwise, probably the best Pad Thai in Cologne.

He estado aquí un par de veces en los últimos 2 años y nunca decepciona. La mejor comida tailandesa fuera de Tailandia. Nos vemos pronto.

best pad thai i ever ate :) very tasty & fair prices

Ate here for the second time, it was delicious again!

Was very good. I've been here a few times. Come back.

This won't be my last visit!!! Friendly ! Clean ! Fresh ! Yummy ! Fast ! Cozy ! A self-service snack bar that sets standards. See you soon !

I had the pleasure of visiting Krua Thai at Heumarkt in Cologne today and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The restaurant is located in a former cult pub, which gives the ambience an interesting touch. My companion and I chose the H1 with red curry and the C5 with green curry. Both dishes tasted excellent and impressed with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. The red curry in particular was nice and spicy, but not too spicy, while the green curry had a pleasant freshness. The service was friendly and attentive, which rounded off the overall impression of the visit positively. Other visitors also praise the quality of the food and the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. Some also mention the generous portions and good value for money. All in all, my visit to Krua Thai at Heumarkt was a successful culinary trip to Thailand that I would like to repeat. So if you're looking for good food in an interesting atmosphere, you should definitely stop by here!

Very tasty food and good location. The price is also absolutely reasonable.

Delicious Thai dishes. The Pad Thai and Gui Tiau are particularly outstanding. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Authentic Thai food... friendly staff...self service...the portions are big and reasonably priced

When the person next to you is coughing and almost throwing up (because of spies? I do not know) it is making your own meal miserable. I've not been able to really enjoy it. Pity.

It was very tasty and the people were very friendly. Thanks and see you sometime later :)

perhaps a little confusing stepping in for the first time but worthwhile getting used to

Cool place, bit of Asian market atmosphere, tasty food!

Excellent dishes, well seasoned and a very reasonable price, for a meal with fresh ingredients, good taste, and friendly service.

Great food but a bit stressed employee. There were small errors when ordering. I wanted Curry C1 and not breaded duck but chicken instead of the duck. She just makes me chicken instead of breaded chicken. Only available upon request They want chicken they get chicken, that's chicken. In the end it cleared up. I would have liked a more accommodating approach. “Yes, we’ll make breaded chicken with it,” they should charge a little more, but that’s fine. Otherwise I have to say the food is great and the price is also okay

The food is delicious. Top quality. Great taste. Great location. Pleasant coworkers. Prices are appropriate. Definitely come back.

I asked for a vegan option with Tofu, when i got the food it tasted really bad and i found a piece of chicken in the dish i had. Thats not cool. After i told them, i didn’t get any offer of a new dish neither a refund. None!! Im not sure what kind of customer service this is!! A bad one i can tell you! Unprofessional in my opinion.

We were there for the first but certainly not the last time. The food tastes great, especially if you know the original Thai cuisine, really TOP.

Very friendly service, didn't have to wait long. The food was excellent...it was also very well attended. Will definitely come back

Buena comida. Bonita ubicación. Señora en el mostrador delantero no era amable en absoluto. No trabajes en servicio al cliente si no puedes ser amable,

Nice, inexpensive and plentiful dishes.

Very solid and tasty food. Short waiting times, perfect for grabbing something quick to eat.

It doesn't really have anything to do with Thai food.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had and that’s saying a lot since I’ve been to Thailand. I highly recommend.

Lovely place to eat. Extremely good value and ample food on your plate. Miss the tourist traps and go here for an excellent meal at the right price. 4 to 5 minute wait for fresh food was amazing

Pad noodles were good, but not too spicy. The service and ambience was decent. Reasonable prices. The kitchen is partly open and then place has an aortmy good vide. Bathroom clean and well appointed. The boss lady could be a bit more friendly.

I had the Gyoza and a pad Thai, both was good but not great. Service was great the staff was really friendly all in all a good experience

Small and fine Thai restaurant right at the Heumarkt stop - absolutely recommended!

Best Pad Thai I've eaten in years. I claim I can cook good Pad Thai too, but that's a different level. 12 out of 10 points🥇

Very big portion with reasonable price. The food was also tasty!

Even better the second night. Love a bit of Krua.

Food was very delicous. It is a real authentic Thai Restaurant, so do not expect classic "Asian", but exotic Thai Food. Amazing smell, when they prepared the food.

Good place to eat. Please check the portion size before u order. The portions are very large and I had to pack excess The owner is a nice person but speaks limited English. Worthy of a visit

Really tasty pad kra pow with pork and a fried egg. Appropriately spicy and very comforting! It's a bit pricier than some of the local "Thai Imibiss" joints but it's notably better quality too.

The previous Mai Thai, now Krua Thai, still has good food. Friendly staff.

I always take Tom Yam and rice. Delicious. The order is prepared quickly. The only negative is that there is no toilet in the restaurant. But overall I recommend it 👌

Very good Thai snack, I have enjoyed all the dishes I have had there so far! Love the duck there.

Super tasty food, nice and cheerful staff. Portions are big!
