I didn't know about this place until recently recommended by a friend. My husband and I went to eat with couple of our friends for the first time in August 2009 and now we only eat Thai foods at Chao Praya. We don't go anywhere else because it's consistently delicious every time. Chao Praya is a bit different from places like Racha or Simply Thai. The flavor is very authentic, believe me, I'm Thai!! I purchased some food for my aunt last weekend, and she likes the fried rice, and the papaya salad. I order Jungle fried rice and pineapple fried rice at Chao Praya every time I go there. Their spicy star rating is true to its rating! Don't order higher than 3 stars if you can't eat spicy! Their curry menu is good. We have tried chicken panang, forest curry (Gang Kua - which I thought was very good!), pad thai (generous portion), and pad kee mao. My favorite are the fried rice, gang kua, and pad kee mao. We like the price, the portion, and the service!
