Papaya in München

Best Pad Kra Pao in Munich. It’s a takeaway place but they still have places to sit, so don’t expect much on an ambience. The food makes up for the lack of ambience.

Small but excellent Thai restaurant with relatively authentic food. Prices are good.

Very authentic Thai food. The food tastes great and the prices are fair. However, they only accept cash, and every other week they run out of sauce for dish 29, so that dish isn't available. The lady is only moderately friendly.

Unfriendly service, rotten meat never again

Top authentic Thai food - really a positive surprise - simple snack bar atmosphere, all the better for the food

It was tasty, but there were too many flavor enhancers. That wasn't even necessary.

The food was authentic and delicious. Unfortunately, the service had deteriorated.

The food was very authentic! Even though I know I can cook this dish myself, it simply tastes better here.

95% like being in Thailand, food wise

Excellent authentic generous flavourful Thai food.

Super cute snack bar with nice people☺️

Authentic Thai food in the city. Highly recommend

Yen ta fo noodles were very tasty 😋

Literally have been transported to Bangkok - your to go place for legit Pad Thai.

It’s real Thai taste From Thai guy

I’ve been to so many different cafes and restaurants in different countries, and everyone has always been very respectful to me. This one, however, was the rudest and most disrespectful experience I’ve had in my whole life. My friend and I were really looking forward to visiting this place during our first time in Munich, but the old lady sitting at the entrance ruined it for us. It was July 26, 2025, and the weather was rainy. My friend and I walked from our hotel to finally have lunch after a long day of not eating anything. When we wanted to enter, the lady shouted at my friend, pointing at her umbrella (which was closed), saying not to enter and to leave the umbrella next to the door. My friend apologized and put the umbrella there, but the lady kept shouting. Then she shushed us and said, “be quiet”—mind you, she was the one talking non-stop and shouting. I told her she was being rude and disrespectful, and then she shooed us out in the most disrespectful way possible, saying, “get out”!!!!! I told her she was very rude and left immediately with my friend. Her facial expressions and body language were beyond rude. I’m glad we prioritized our dignity instead of sitting there and having lunch. We walked for a couple of minutes and found another Asian restaurant nearby, and the people there treated us in the most welcoming and respectful manner.

Krapao tastes authentic. The owner is not as welcoming as considering being a Thai.

Truly authentic food. Portions are generous and the taste is absolutely delicious.

Ordered the Gaeng Massaman and Guay Tiew Moo Tom Yam. The Massaman was too salty, even with white rice (which was dry and not fluffy as one comes to expect of Thai rice or rice cooked by an Asian). Strongly suspect most of the flavour came from MSG. The Guay Tiew Moo Tom Yam was anything but Tom Yam. It had 2 chillis on the menu, indicating a reasonable amount of heat. Mine had as much heat as a Bavarian winter. Either the chef cannot cook Tom Yam or aunty gave me the pork soup Guay Tiew (which is €2 cheaper but charged me for the Tom Yam version, and no it wasn’t a mis-order cos she wrote down item 38 on the order chit and showed it to me to confirm the Tom Yam version cos she spoke only Thai and German, and I spoke neither). Oh yes, be prepared for your bean sprouts (tau geh) to come complete with their black shells still on. Yup. And yes, the other reviews are right - lady boss is very grouchy. She only banters with her Thai-speaking customers and was very impatient with me. It took a bit of back and forth before she whipped out the English menu (and yes, I asked). Cash only, which is a tad troublesome but she warns you beforehand. So go and eat there by all means if you’re craving Thai food or like us, was after some Asian food after two weeks of sausages and schnitzel. But go mentally prepared. (My vote goes to Noodle King a few doors down.)

A very authentic Thai experience. The food was delicious, and the owner shouted at us in Thai throughout. 10/10 experience. Would do again.

A Thai restaurant run by a Thai chef. The place feels casual, not like a formal restaurant. You order, pay, and wait for your food, semi self-service style. There are various Thai dishes to choose from at a reasonable price. Tables may be limited during rush hour.

Krua Thai in Munich is a true insider tip for lovers of Thai cuisine. The food is excellent and authentic, almost as if you were dining at a street food eateries in Bangkok. Here, the food isn't just cooked; it's a culinary experience. ​A huge plus is the option to order takeout, so you can enjoy the delicious flavors at home. ​An important note: Krua Thai only accepts cash payments, so it's advisable to bring enough cash with you in advance. ​If you're looking for authentic, authentic Thai food, this is the place to go. A visit is definitely worth it.

The best Thai in town. 100% authentic & never a drop in quality. K̄hxbkhuṇ❤️

This is definitely a restaurant I really can't recommend to anyone. We went to this Thai restaurant today and ordered very clearly and unequivocally to the waitress: We wanted the roast duck noodles and the pork rice. We specifically emphasized several times that we definitely didn't want coriander because we're allergic to it. We actually said it twice. And what happened? When the food arrived, there was still coriander in the fried noodles, and instead of duck, there was chicken in them. When we confronted the waitress about it, she not only acted like it was our fault, but also became downright rude. She outright claimed we ordered the wrong thing. After we told her again that we explained everything in detail, she became really rude and demanded that we pay an extra 3 euros if we really wanted the meal without coriander and with duck. We grudgingly paid the 3 euros, but her behavior was still absolutely outrageous. At the end, she even told us to "Go away!" as if we were bothering her. Absolutely unacceptable! And as if that wasn't enough, even after we finally left the restaurant, we could still hear the waitress ranting on inside. So if you like rude service, incorrect orders, and extra charges for mistakes that weren't your fault—well, this is the place for you. Ironically, complaints here seem to be met with even more complaining. Unbelievable.

Delicious and healthy. Homemade noodles. Fresh, crisp vegetables. Quickly served. A good place to grab a bite to eat while waiting for the next train.

Just the best Thai Restaurant in Munich! A real Thai Cuisine. Delicious.

Casual family-styled diner that serves you hot and tasty food. The space inside is not too big so it may not be the most comfotable to sit inside. But for a quick bite in the vicinity of the main station, this is a great choice. The prices are reasonable. The rice and noodles were good, but they went really heavy on the oil. The Tom Kha Gai was nothing interesting---even a bit disappointing, would not recommend that.

Go eat at the restaurant opposite Noppakao Thai Imbiss. You won't be disappointed.

The food is absolutely amazing – confirmed by Thais :) Unfortunately, the portions are a bit small for the price.

The food is truly authentic Thai flavor. It's the number one choice in Munich.

Nice Thai snack bar. Pad Thai was okay!

100% authentic Thai food. Friendly staff and great prices too! Definitely recommend it!

Very tasty and authentic Thai street kitchen.

Genuine Thai food, actually street food of better quality

The food is very authentic and always very, very tasty.

Really good authentic spicy food ❤️‍🔥

Great Thai street food - fast service and very tasty. Highly recommended!

My husband and I LOVE Thai food but we’re honestly disappointed by this experience. The food was good but the service made the experience less enjoyable and honestly stressful.

Feels like you're in Thailand. Authentic street food shop in the heart of Munich. Delicious food!

Although very tasty, it's expensive and the minced meat is of poor quality (cartilage and fat). Also rather unfriendly.

Comforting Thai food. Portions are good. Price is reasonable. Tastes very much like what you would get in Asia.

Delicious and very authentic Thai food. It's so delicious! 😊 It's like eating in Thailand. If I have a chance to visit Munich again, I'll definitely stop by and try it again.

Very authentic food prepared with love! The atmosphere is also very family-friendly; I really enjoy eating here. ☺️

Decent Thai food thats reasonably authentic though the service is rather slow and not the most friendly. And it’s cash only even in 2025 which is a minor inconvenience when even most kebab places and beer gardens accept credit cards.

The food is truly delicious and of top quality. Unfortunately, my enjoyment was ruined by the woman (presumably the owner) yelling at me in an extremely aggressive and angry manner. Such behavior is completely unprofessional and ruins the entire experience.

The foods are delicious but take extremely long time almost one hour and the foods brought to us one by one. We were already full when the last dish bring to us.

Coming to this restaurant makes me miss Thailand because of the taste of authentic Thai food. Come and support us. 📍Thai Kitchen Munich

I visited this restaurant because of my friend's recommendation but the food and service were not good for me.

Best Thai restaurant in Munich! When you miss Asian food, you can go there. Very delicious Thai food. I think this was the best Thai food I had during my trip to Germany. However, if you are a little concerned about the environment, you can also take it away. Cash only

CASH ONLY but delicious!! Got the pad see ew and a curry and both were very tasty, cute spot

The fried egg is a MUST! The pad thai taste abit too sweet for me. And the soup is delicious!!!

The food is truly authentic, for example, papaya salad with fermented crab. I also had a pork steak with a special chili, garlic, and lime leaf dip. It was super spicy and delicious. But there are also dishes suitable for Germans that you can get at a standard Asian snack bar. Thais work here. Unfortunately, it's too expensive for the atmosphere and service.

Food is as authentic as it gets. Amazing quality, full of taste and the service is fast and nice. 100% recommended.

Very good taste Thai in Munich. Spicy and delicious. Thai food. Stir-fried beef with basil and fried egg.

Here, the chef himself is still behind the stove! Coming from near Ayutthaya, he has a knack for the culinary arts, having already demonstrated this in Thai restaurants in Munich before opening his own snack bar on Dachauer Straße. The extensive menu features classic Thai dishes, which can also be prepared with Thai spice upon request. The menu is tailored entirely to the customer's tolerance. There's also a à la carte menu, written only in Thai. It's likely that it contains dishes that Central Europeans don't order very often. Anyone who has ever been to Thailand and visited the street stalls and small shops there will feel transported there by the decor and, of course, the smells at Krua Thai. In summer, there are additional tables on the sidewalk, which increases the chances of finding a seat for a longer stay. For me, the prices here are absolutely reasonable. My favorite is the beef with Thai basil and fried egg.

The best Thai food nearby main train station!! The food was tasty! ordered 3 items: 1. pad kra pao (thai basil chicken) its similar to the one i had in BKK even the greasy crispy fried egg, perfectly cooked! 2. fried rice, its quite tasty and flavorful 3. fried chicken with sautee vege in oyster sc served with jasmine rice, its not bad quite yum yum they serve the condiments like slice chilli in fish sc, pickled slice chili, sugar for pad thai and dried chili which its not normally served on the table in EU The service was warm even though the staff cant speak english at all, only in german and thailand of course! Deft One of the asia rest you have to visit in Munich!

If you really want to eat authentic Thai food, go here.

Absolute gem in terms of Thai food. As someone traveling to Thailand often, I must say this place serves very good Thai food. Service can be improved though, and it’s a small space so try to avoid peak hours

It would be a pity if anyone doesn't come.

Ordered pad thai and rice, both tasted good!

Delicious thai food with reasonable price.

Good Thai restaurant near Munich Central Station. Affordable prices, fast service, delicious food. The taste of the dishes is not spicy, there is a piquancy and sweetness inherent in Thai cuisine. They only accept cash for payment, which is something to keep in mind when coming here.

Great food. Small imbiss with a couple of seats. Fast service. I would highly recommend their soups.

Here the boss cooks very tasty food

best Thai comfort food in Munich. If you order spicy then you get really spicy

Woow...took me back to my time in Thailand. A gem. So authentic since you get in until you go out. The services as good as always I had had in Thailand and in any thai restaurant. Humidity, oily smell, catering, condiments service just close your eyes and it will take you there. The food tasted as if I was in Thailand so yummy. Some Thai people eating there too. It can not be wrong.

Authenticty is what you get here. Love this place

Unfortunately not so good, eating rather average and extremely small portions. I wouldn't order the papaya salad, very very small portion and also below average taste. Service very stressed and sometimes loud. Pad Kra Pao is delicious though, you can order it.

Great authentic Thai food. Not fancy, but that's how I like it. Would love to come back

Awful service. Rude, offensive and lazy. The woman at the cashier was screaming since we got there and was rude all the time.

Terrible service. The waitress kept yelling in very poor German, which was extremely hard to understand—and she yelled even more when you didn’t get it. Awful. The food was mediocre. I ordered chicken with vegetables, but it only had about six tiny pieces of chicken—the rest was just vegetables.

We love every visit to Krua Thai. The price-performance ratio is absolutely unique for Munich.

Vendors are foul-mouthed, cursing customers and relying on loud noises. The atmosphere sucks. You order basil and you get fresh chili. It's not a mistake, but you keep talking and talking non-stop. Food taste: If you want to change the atmosphere, come eat Thai food. Let me tell you, it's not. I sell foreigners, so don't try to do it. Bad Manner,Rude, bad atmosphere, shouting all the time, made mistake but not accepted, Try another restuarant instead.

Unfortunately, the food was just average - nothing that really stood out. Even more disappointing was the service: stressed, unfriendly and sometimes loud, which made the atmosphere quite unpleasant. For a good Thai meal there are definitely better places in the area.

Krua Thai Imbiss is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic array of authentic Thai dishes, each bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the Pad Thai; it’s perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The green curry is also a must-try, rich and creamy with fresh ingredients. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Whether you're a Thai food lover or trying it for the first time, Krua Thai Imbiss is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to come back!

Lady cashier was rude and started shouting for no reason to take the order. Food is average and very small portion for the amount you pay. Please avoid eating here. There are better places around. Zero recommendation to this mediocre place and service.

Very good Thai snack with typical cuisine

Tastiest Thai in the whole city 🥰

Simple little place with delicious food! Just unfortunate they only accept cash, that's why 4/5 stars.

No complaints! Nice food and quick service. Cash only!

Delightful shop. Finally not a wannabe hipster store. Very authentic.

Service is very fast. The food is great with very authentic Thai.

It's a Thai shop. The food is made in Thai style. The taste is delicious and exactly what you want to eat.

A little grumpy but so delicious✨️ rad na was too peppery for my taste but pad kra pow and thod man pla super delicious :D recommend to takeaway ^^ cash only! Edit: Another elderly lady was here today, and she was very gentle :D Ordered pad see ew pak and thod man pla again because it was so delicious!!

The food was below average for the high price. The seating arrangement was uncomfortable.

I grew up in Thailand 🇹🇭, cook Thai and love a good Thai restaurant, so this review comes with a local perspective in mind. I dined here hoping for a good, simple Thai meal. What I got instead was an over-oiled, over-peppered, and overly sauced Khao Pad (Thai Fried Rice) 🍛—a dish that shouldn’t be difficult to get right. I didn’t even finish my plate. That never happens. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this was just too disappointing. 😞 To make matters worse, the entire place, which is legit Thai style, stank 🤢. It was filled with fumes, visibly smoky from all the frying and cooking. After just 20 minutes, my clothes, bag, and even my skin smelled like a deep fryer—disgusting. 🤮 Not healthy at all—I can’t imagine how the staff’s lungs are holding up. Please, fix your ventilation! 🛑💨 One of the things I love about Thailand is the Land of Smiles 😊—it’s rare to encounter an unfriendly Thai, especially in hospitality. But here? The cashier (possibly the owner) didn’t crack a single smile the entire time. 😐 Even when tipping, there was zero appreciation—just an odd, unwelcoming vibe. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but it left a sour impression. I wanted to love this place. I really did. But sadly, it just wasn’t it. ❌ I won’t be returning. 🚨 If you do decide to visit, sit outside or take your food to go if you want to avoid walking around smelling like an industrial fryer. หวังว่าทางร้านจะปรับปรุงคุณภาพอาหารและการระบายอากาศให้ดีขึ้นนะครับ! *********** 👋🏻 Hey, fellow Google Maps explorers! If this review helped you, show some love by giving it a thumbs up! 👍🏆 Thanks a ton! 🙏✨

Absolutely amazing 🤩 first thing first, lady at the cashier are very friendly, didn't talk much but you'll feel her friendly vibes 😊 super tasty PadKraPao, authentic Thai style, sweet + salty + spicy with great scents of Thai basil 👍🏻 Isn't a big space you have in there, not a place for you to talk relax enjoy with your friend type, more like sit, eat, good bye type. * Only cash available

Authentic Thai food. Nice service and friendly staff. The taste is great and very similar to Thai.

Really good food. Fresh well prepared authentic Thai. HOWEVER if you speak English be prepared for the fact that they don’t speak a word (which is of course fair enough)

Food is really delicious. It’s hard to find authentic thai taste in europe and I am very happy to find it as I am an Asian and miss asian food while traveling around europe for a month. The price is fair too. Som tam is my most fav.

It’s a tiny place, without much service, but the food is really authentic! I can highly recommend Tom kha gai, Papaya salad and Pad Thsi! 👍🏼

Authentic Thai food. Good food, fair prices.

The chefs are Thai, and they are very nice. However, the moo krob (crispy pork belly) I received was very dry and difficult to chew:(

Soup was just perfect. Warm and well seasoned. Pad Thai was also delicious, but had a bit too much oil. Otherwise great

You feel like you're in Thailand in a small restaurant. Top food, very nice athletic atmosphere. Fair prices. I'll definitely come back

The food was really tasty here. The little imbiss you can find near to the Munich Central Station, let just say a 5 minute walk.

pad thai was too bland, tasteless, I had to put a lot of fish sauce in to eat it & too oily. The rest of the dish was nothing special & so expensive for imbiss (18€). Staff was not friendly, not smiling!

The Thai Fly Restaurant tastes good and comes with three kinds of chili pepper sauce. When ordering soup, the waiter always grabs the tip of the spoon with his hand and puts it in the soup bowl. Fortunately, I ordered stir-fry, otherwise it would have been so dirty.

The Krua Thai Imbiss in Munich – quick meals with a touch of Asia 🍜🇹🇭 The Krua Thai Imbiss in Munich is an uncomplicated Asian snack bar that is ideal for a quick meal ⏱️🍴. The selection ranges from classics like Pad Thai and fried rice to various curries 🍛🥢. However, if you expect authentic Thai cuisine here, you may be a little disappointed - the dishes are more adapted to European tastes and lack the typical, intense flavors that you know from Thailand 😕🌶️. After several stays in Thailand, we were perhaps a little spoiled in terms of food and were looking forward to the special, nuanced world of taste of real Thai cuisine 🤤🌍. Nevertheless, you have to say that the food here is quite tasty. The dishes are prepared fresh and quickly 🥡, the portions are generous 🍽️, and the staff is friendly and accommodating 😊. The snack bar is simple and ideal for a quick stop if you fancy Asian flavors without having to invest a lot of time 🏃‍♂️💨. All in all, a good place to go for an inexpensive meal in Munich - even if you miss the authenticity of Thai cuisine a bit 😅.

Possibly the best thai place in Munich. It’s not cheap but worth the price.
