Authentic Thai flavors! The dishes are always served fresh with delicate broths and delicious spices. Homemade and authentic is what keeps us coming back. More than a little pricey and small portions. It's really a big splurge when we go! I wish whoever is responsible (restaurant owners or the owners of the building) would address whatever issue is causing the standing water smell. The friendly service and family recipes keep us wanting more. May I suggest Mango & Sticky rice ???? ???? for every visit ????

Krung Thai Street Grill is a dream come true for lovers of Thai food. The standards are so exacting—and so scrupulously maintained—that I believe it is safe to say that if the owner’s grandmother showed up for lunch or dinner, she could find nothing that would not remind her of her childhood! As Krung Thai Street Grill is far from my house, it had been too long since my own last visit. But today I put myself in the neighborhood, knowing I would never be disappointed. In my book it has always deserved five stars. And today I decided to photograph everything, and planned to write this review. The main highway running east and west in Hampton is Mercury Boulevard. Sadly you cannot SEE Krung Thai Street Grill from Mercury Boulevard—I checked that today from both directions. So you must exit Mercury Boulevard onto N. King Street, heading north. Krung Thai Street Grill will then be in the small shopping center at the first left turn at the traffic light. Today’s lunch was “back to basics” for me, starting with the heavenly aroma of a generous bowl of the lemon grass soup with three fresh shrimp and many straw mushrooms known as Tom Yum Goong. You can eat everything in the bowl except the slices of lemon grass and a couple of bay leaves—and you will be glad you did! The same soup with chicken rather than shrimp is known as Tom Yum Gai, and it is equally delicious! But today I chose to have the chicken as a salad known as Larb Gai, which has always been a very popular Thai dish of ground chicken breast, onions and lettuce. Unless you specify otherwise, it will be prepared very mild—but you may quickly adjust it to your own taste by requesting a pepper tray, which has several preparations of Thai hot peppers in various media—fish sauce, usually the darker of the offerings, adds aroma and flavor as well as heat. As usual, the meal was accompanied with the excellent Thai lager beer Sing Ha. Although the menu does not include desserts, I was delighted to find that Krung Thai Street Grill was still able to offer the wonderful confection called Mango Sticky Rice, the fresh ripe mango served chilled with the steaming hot sticky rice coated with sweet coconut sauce beside it. Yes, I managed to photograph that, too, before I greedily consumed it! I feel I should mention that although there are crab dishes available on the menu, backfin crabmeat has recently exceeded $42 a pound, and it would not be wise to expect a lot of crab in any dish. Beef, too, has risen dramatically in recent days, and Krung Thai Street Grill adds a $3 surcharge when beef is substituted for chicken or pork on menu items (there is a warming of the surcharge displayed prominently on the menu). Also, credit cards are accepted for orders of $7 or more, as credit card processing prices have shot up. If the King of Siam ever flies from Germany to Virginia for a State Visit, I think perhaps the greatest honor we could pay him would be dinner at the Krung Thai Street Grill! In the meantime, I recommend you treat yourself like a king or queen: visit Krung Thai Street Grill and DON’T LET THESE DISHES GO TO WASTE!

Very disappointed. We visit the market in this shopping center frequently, and thought we would give this place a chance. They were out of a lot of menu items. The price for the quality of food we received was kind if ridiculous. There was a smell... like the restaurant was very old and hadn't had a real deep cleaning in maybe decades. We're usually the type of people that would give second chances, but not this place. The gentleman that served us was at least pleasant.
