Krua Thai am Heumarkt in Köln

Food is good and service is quick. If you want to have some some good Asian food before catching a train in Cologne hbf, this is the place to eat.

A very well-run place. I tried Pad Thai (chicken) for the first time, it was delicious.

Warning! Warning! Warning! Like many others, I experienced nausea and diarrhea for two days after eating here and almost vomited. As described below, the chicken was probably ancient – ​​two to three days old. I strongly advise against going to this restaurant. The food was awful, which is to be expected with Asian or Thai food in busy areas. The cashier was incredibly passive-aggressive, as if she didn't notice. I ordered food for €30 and wanted to take the soup to go. She handed me a container and looked at me like I was going crazy. I then had to pour the soup out right there at the table in front of everyone else – a complete mess! Never again. The chicken tasted totally rotten; it must have been sitting around for two days. I can taste it. Never again. The soup was completely tasteless. Please close this place down, thank you. Addendum: I'm now clearly noticing that the days of small shops are numbered and they're all really struggling with the economy. Whether it's a 10g kebab costing what feels like 800 euros or other things, you simply can't go out to eat anywhere anymore. That's it for me.

Authentic Thai food, very, very delicious.

Ordered a Tom Kaa soup during the concert break today. It was well packaged and delivered on time, but the soup itself was a disappointment. I found it unloving: a couple of chicken breast fillets, lots of mushrooms, and a few cherry tomatoes. Everything was roughly chopped, the tomatoes still had their stems on, and the coconut milk base wasn't well seasoned at all. It was the most boring meal I've had in a long time. And to charge almost €10 for it was pretty cheeky. My colleagues ordered Pad Thai, which looked like dog food to me. And for €17.70, no, guys, there are great alternatives in Cologne. We won't be ordering from there again. I actually always want to write good reviews, but I want to remain authentic. I know the people there work hard all day. I have no idea under what conditions, but I can only rate what I've eaten.

Simply fantastic, we will definitely be back. The food was the best Thai cuisine we've had in Cologne, right on the Heumarkt and directly on the Rhine. Thank you for this meal! Keep it up 💪🏽

We ordered over €65 worth of food through Uber Eats, but received the wrong bag. The lady on the phone was extremely rude. We haven't received our food yet, nor has our order been canceled or remade and delivered. Extremely poor service, and that's after so many orders. We will never order from there again.

Krua Thai am Heumarkt – the Thai food here is really good! 🇹🇭 The spices are rich, the spicy is just right, the Pad Thai, Tom Yum and papaya salad are all very authentic. The restaurant space is cozy, the service is friendly. A light lunch in the center of Cologne but feels like you are in Bangkok! 🌶️🍜

Delicious food. If you want to eat Thai food, I recommend this place.

The crispy pork with basil was very delicious. Even though it had long beans mixed with basil, I understand the ingredients. The tom yum soup had a rich flavor. The noodles were a very large bowl. Overall, it was delicious and I wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere in the restaurant was friendly. If I have the chance to visit Köln again, I will definitely go back and support you again.

Very tasty food. The price/performance ratio is absolutely right.

Tiny portions, very unfriendly staff. Plus: clean restrooms.

The food and the staff are great! The atmosphere is also very relaxed and pleasant.

I was there a few days ago. The food was really delicious, it was prepared quickly, and the payment process (online via PayPal) was straightforward. I can definitely recommend it.

The food is very tasty and the staff are very polite.

Very, very tasty! And the prices are really reasonable!

Delicious. Pleasant atmosphere.

My son ordered duck from a delivery service on Friday evening... afterward, he first felt nauseous, then vomited, and had severe diarrhea... that points to total contamination... Since duck is constantly being ordered, it can only be employee contamination... Didn't wash his hands??? after using the toilet or something... Today is Monday, and he's still sick and totally exhausted...!! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Ugh))

The self-service shop and the Heumarkt itself have little charm, BUT: Fantastic food, nice staff, moderate prices

Very good food, quick service, appropriate ambience.

The order was taken incorrectly and then corrected incorrectly. The duck was more than "overcooked"—I've never seen it so crispy. A shame.

Lots of options, very yummy with decent size portions.

We picked up our food. The food was very tasty, and the portions were decently large. Some dishes don't come with rice, but it doesn't cost much to order it.

Decided to try this one out based on reviews and I am glad I did. The lady at the counter was very friendly (we seamlessly spoke in English), they prepared our order in a pinch and the food was tasty. I particularly liked the sauce trays that you can get from the counter, including soy sauce, chilli sauce, fish sauce with chillies and chilli powder. Once you have placed your order at the counter, the restaurant is self-service. But the prices are so affordable and the atmosphere so nice that you won't mind :)

The food is very good, but it's more reminiscent of a fast food joint than a restaurant, and the prices are moderate. You do have to clear your own dishes, though. Nevertheless, if you're in the mood for Thai food, you'll receive excellent service here.

Excellent food with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended

Delicious food! Highly recommended!

Very, very tasty and a good selection! I highly recommend it :)

Delicious Thai food with excellent value for money. Only the ambiance is more comparable to that of a snack bar. Nevertheless, I'd gladly go back.

Self-service with very good vegan Pad Thai

Came here for the second time,fresh tasty and price quality correct. Definitely recommend this place for quick healthy delicious meals.will Definitely come back when we're in cologne.

Very very good. Lots of flavors and plenty of options for vegetarians!

Somtam with fermented fish and crab is very good. There is also crab. Delicious.

The Asian-American lady at the cash register should look for another job. I can only confirm what was posted before me: I felt like an alien when I asked if I would be served at my table. Apart from that, a restaurant that only serves plastic cups and no glasses is not okay in my opinion.

10/10 great food, great price, simply awesome

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 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.

Authentic food and drinks. Great value for money :)

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!

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!
