A small family kitchen in downtown Milford. We make our curry pastes from scratch, cook to order, and keep the Thai iced tea coming. Dine in or take it home.
Green curry · from-scratch pasteClassics done properly, plus a couple of regional favorites. The full list is on the menu.
Rice noodles tossed in our tamarind sauce with egg, bean sprouts and crushed peanuts, a lime wedge on the side. Chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
Northern-style coconut curry soup with soft egg noodles and a crown of crispy ones, chicken on the bone, shallots, pickled greens and lime. The dish we're known for.
Krua started as a family recipe box and a stubborn habit of doing things the long way — pounding curry pastes by hand, simmering stocks, balancing every plate for salt, sour, sweet and heat before it leaves the kitchen.
We're a neighborhood place: come in your work clothes, bring the kids, take a curry home for later. However you eat, it's cooked to order.

We steep it dark, sweeten it just enough, and pour it over a mountain of ice. There's Thai iced coffee too, plus coconut water, and cold beer to cut the heat.
"Come in your work clothes, bring the kids, take a curry home for later."
That's the whole idea. Krua is a everyday kind of place — lunch specials on weekdays, big takeout orders on Friday nights, and a counter where the regulars know the staff by name. No dress code, no fuss, just food cooked to order.
Downtown Milford, near the green. Street parking and the municipal lot a block away. Takeout counter to the left as you come in.
We seat walk-ins, but for tables of five or more, catering, or a large takeout order, send a note and we'll call back.
