We hadn’t been to crushcraft Thai Eats since they moved to their current location. The space is bright, colorful, and there is plenty of indoor seating and a large covered patio area. You order and pick up at the counter as well as bus your own table. But the staff is friendly and they cook up the food in a timely manner. The food itself is very good. The flavors are authentic and the portions are generous. If you’re craving tasty Thai food with an elevated fast food vibe, then head over to the Quad. You’ll be glad you did!

The atmosphere is welcoming. Open kitchen and everything made to order. Service was great. We got sunny B salad. Very light dressing, fresh crunchy vegetables and perfectly fried tofu. It was great. The drunken noodles with tofu was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The khra See Ew dish with tofu was my favorite. It was packed with with flavor.

I liked the decor of the restaurant. Casual and colorful. Simple menu and delicious food. Not the friendly type of service. They have parking.

The khao soi had great flavors but the curry broth looked a little broken and was a bit too thick. I was also expecting egg noodles and not rice noodles, but overall tasty! Add the pickled Serrano! Its a game changer. I also got the papaya salad. Again, good flavor but I would've like my papaya to be a bit more crunchy. My side of rice was inedible. It was too dry... or maybe just old? Great vibe! Fast service.

Came on Easter. They were open and not busy as expected, but what great service and what a vibe. I love this place. I had the drunken noodles and my picky daughter had a garlicky chicken. They were both great and she cleaned her bowl. What a great place. I’m definitely coming back. There area is really cool as well.

Went around 2pm on a Monday, and it wasn’t busy at all. Plenty of street parking, and there’s a small parking lot in front (they stamp something for parking) The decor was cute, lots of Thai canned goods and spices for retail. Very clean kitchen, we came in at a time where the whole kitchen was being scrubbed. Food tasted like your average Thai food. I was a little thrown off as to why the drunken noodles were served over a bed of Romaine lettuce, but the flavor was still good, not spicy at all. The papaya salad was good, no spice to it though. The meatballs were tender and sweet. Overall good food, I’d come back. $37 for 1 drunken noodle, 1 papaya salad, 1 order of meatball skewers, 1 beer and 1 bottle of water.

The atmosphere was pretty fun! Besides all the fun color all around they also had all their supplies out as part of the decor. It was clever!!! And I love clever! The service was great! Fast and easy. The flavor was good. It didn’t have me wanting for more…. But the heat was right on! It didn’t linger. It was just enough to be enjoyable. My kids got 2 helpings of the spring roll bites!!!

Super reasonable price with big portions. Balanced entrees and super yummy flavors. My only complaint is that the steak was kinda dry - almost like a jerky texture but everything else tasted great. The staff was very friendly too.
