This is our favorite Thai restaurant and the service has always been excellent!
But today was different. My mom had complained about how our soup was missing many ingredients and not tasting like the usual Tom Yum soup. That’s when we were made aware that they have new people being trained in the kitchen and that the manager was not the one who made our food today. Which is fine, we’re completely understanding that there are trainees in the kitchen. The problem was AFTER the waitress went back to the chef to report the feedback , all we could hear is loud obnoxious laughing and talking in their language. My mother said she saw the chef peek over the counter at us ( we were the last ones in the restaurant) and then go back to laughing out loud.. it was honestly really hurtful to see that behavior as we eat here often and we NEVER had any issues with the chefs and staffs like this before, As the staffs have always been so wonderful.
But besides today, We’ve always loved eating here and the staff is so friendly and food was always so delicious. We are hoping that if we do come back next time, this won’t happen again all because we complained about the food not tasting the way it usually does.

Ordered the dumplings and the fried spring rolls. There's not much flavor to either dish, although the dumplings were more flavorful than the rolls.
Also ordered the Rad Na, and it tasted like every other Chinese restaurant. No spice and little flavor.
The server was fantastic, quick, and attentive.
Beer taps were also not working.
Overall, 3 stars seem fair.

I lived in chiang Mai and the papaya salad was spot on. We got Thai fried chicken, Panang curry, papaya salad. Tasty!
Their Pad Kea Mao is my absolute favorite, love their bubble tea but the bubbles get stuck in the straw lol. Appetizers are on point we had the Shrimp Rangoon and chicken potstickers. Their customer service was courteous and nice.
Forgot to take pics of the main meal because I was so hungry lol.

Asked the waiter to bring the heat with my beef salad. Didn't disappoint. My sister and neice seemed very happy with their food as well. Waiter was great. Not overbearing was helpful and very personable. When I said hot hot he listened. It was a great time and can't wait to take my wife and kids there.
Short version: Great service and food! We recommend the green curry and eggplant garden.
We were traveling on a road trip and stopped by Eugene to eat before it got too late to eat at our destination. We made a reservation for our larger party and they were very responsive and communicative about the closing time and how they didn’t want us to have a rushed experience. They were still willing to take us and we were able to order ahead of time on the phone.
We were able to get the food promptly when we arrived and our server was very attentive in making sure we got whatever we needed. Food was great and the portion sizes were plentiful. We especially loved the green curry and eggplant garden. I would have posted photos if I could but our group was quite hungry.
Honestly the service and care here was much better than many many restaurants I have been throughout my travels and I have been traveling a lot!
I hope Chao Pra Ya continues to thrive and we’ll be sure to visit again when we can when we are in the area!

We stopped in at Chao Pra Ya today for the 1st time for a late lunch and had a very pleasant surprise! Even at 2:30, there were still 6 full tables and Eli who was the only server at the time did an amazing job in managing our expectations! He was friendly, very professional, attentive and inquired on our Thai selections and satisfaction. I had the Red curry with mango, squid & chicken in a coconut basil curry. The curry was fabulous, as it was deliciously aromatic, mangos ripe and sweet, which complimented the coconut red curry. The squid and chicken was subtle and not over cooked! My wife had a seafood combination with scallops, mussels, shrimp, chicken and a variety of fresh vegetables. And this too was a symphony for the senses! We finished off with the black chewy rice topped off with mango & coconut cream! We plan on going back to sample their other specialties, hopefully, soon. These delicious Thai dishes were made even more amazing with Eli's service! Kudos Eli! Highly recommended!
