Khrua Thai Restaurant Review

Although very convenient outside the gates of Camp Courtney in Uruma City, I would wholeheartedly avoid this place if you are looking for authentic Thai cuisine. There are many other options around Okinawa that will serve up authentic tastes, but this is not one of them. We visited on a weekday. The dishes we ordered were as follows: 1) Phad Thai 2) Som Thum 3) Pad Kra Pao Gai 4) Fried Spring Rolls That Phad Thai was served in a soup and the noodles were overcooked as if they had been prepared beforehand. Som Thum was offered with lemon juice (instead of lime)... there was no hint of fish sauce or fresh peppers. The papaya was not fresh at all. We did not even make it through one bite as it tasted somewhat spoiled. The Pad Kra Pao Gai was not a Thai dish but rather chicken strips, basil, garlic in a soupy mixture... I will have to say that the fried spring rolls were okay... The order set us back about 3000 yen. Trust me we are not picky eaters... we just want authentic Thai food when we go to a Thai restaurant. If you don't know what Thai food is supposed to taste like, then this place may be tolerable. For those that know... trust me, this is not the place. It's like going to a burger joint and getting a hot dog.
