Racha Thai

I have tried spicy chicken fried rice and nothing great about it but just a regular. Drove 9 miles to pick and starting to think not worth the drive. Just a one-​timer.

I love this place and their food ! If your looking for nice selection of buffet options, this is the restaurant to go to. Disregard the outside of the building or the lobby.

A Thai friend suggested me to come here. Food here is pretty good and price is reasonable. Really worth to come~

At first I thought we might be abducted going into this hole-​in-​the-​wall in a strip mall of Rte 20. But the inside is much nicer than the front leads you to expect. We both had Duck (different menu items) and both like our food a lot. There was enough that we both needed boxes after to bring home. The white rice was fine, nothing special, but he, it’s white rice.
Cocktails were good and the server was friendly and patient.
Dim lighting and a tiny font makes the menu hard to read, but otherwise we had a great time.

Walking in to the restaurant was a sketchy experience. The «lobby» area is a mess and needs a good cleaning. I was there on a Tuesday night at 7 pm and I was the only person in the dining room. The dining room is dark and rather tired looking. I had the Tom Kah (?) coconut milk/​chicken soup which was very plain and not worth $ 3.95 (2.5 stars) The crazy noodles entrée was crazy good. I asked for more spice and they made a nice «medium» heat dish for me. I don’t like a dry noodle dish and this had a generous spicy sauce. (4 stars). I would definitely like to come back for lunch but I think I’d skip Racha as a dinner spot. They seem to do a lot of carry out which makes sense as the food is better than the venue.

So here’s the deal… The food is awesome. The service is terrible. The staff are sweet and friendly but woefully inattentive. The staff hang out by the front counter around the corner from the dining room so there’s no way to get anyone’s attention in event you need something. They are really nice but man does it suck when you need a condiment or a drink refill and you don’t see the waitress for 10 mins. But I keep coming back… like I said. The food is great.

Amazing Thai food, their pad Thai is very moist and extremely flavorful and their crazy noodle is delicious and just spicy enough. Best Thai food around hands down

This restaurant was a fun find while traveling. It’s very close to the Mass Pike, and we had a delicious meal. The coconut milk soup and veggie pad Thai were great and atmosphere is very nice. In spite of its less than impressive exterior (it’s in an old strip mall) the interior was very lovely. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive, the soup and meal were nice and hot, among the best Thai food we’ve ever had. Prices were very reasonable, and we plan to return as soon as we can! Great experience!

The food is fantastic. They have a large menu which is awesome if you’re sort of picky. The green curry was out of this world and my favorite is Pad Thai which was also great! it wasn’t that expensive considering we got appetizers. The only downside was the slow service, but I’m pretty sure there was only one waitress, if you like Thai totally try this place, it’s worth it.

We live a ways from here but there are no Thai restaurants in Oxford or Auburn, I will make the drive again. I really like their food. and their fried ice cream is awesome. Our last visit was just to get take out, we ordered the Pad Thai, Crab Rangoon, beef satay, steamed dumplings, and fried rice. everything was really great. The beef was a bit salty, but absolutely no other complaints, and even that was still tasty. (and I didn’t mind our hand written check, which was completely accurate with the prices on the menu.)

My sister brought over takeout from Racha Thai. Everything was delicious! We had Thai rolls, chicken wings and Bangkok Ravioli appetizers — they were all crispy and very tasty. Lots more flavor than I usually find in these types of appetizers.
We then had Pineapple Fried Rice, House Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and 2 different Chicken Curry dishes. Again, I loved that the flavors of each were distinct and delicious. Everyone enjoyed all the selections.
There were 6 adults eating. We had plenty to eat and an ample amount of leftovers. I can’t speak to the price, as she paid, but the quality was exceptional. We’ll be traveling that way for Thai sometime soon.

Beautiful presentation in food. The food was good. I was expecting a little more in terms of flavor. Not sure if I will go back. Not meaning that in a negative way or a bad thing. Just a preference of mine.

A little hard to find missing the sign on the building… cord dangling next to the ironic Signorama shop. The interior was a little dated, but my pad thai (with shrimp and chicken as part of thr basic meal and not extra) and my boyfriend’s veggie curry were both delicious with prompt, courteous service. Best appetizer I have had in a while was the tasty veggie tempura. Crispy and not overbattered.

We were searching for a place to meet up with a friend en-​route from Natick to Spencer and found this «hidden gem» on Unilocal.WHY, Unilocal, whyyyyyyy??! I wanted to put all of my faith into a hidden strip mall sensation… but was absolutely dashed.
Parking in the small lot, we trudged through falling snow to the last shop in this teeny strip mall (usually this causes flashing lights and alarm bells to whistle in my ears… but I decided to be adventurous). We stood in the reception area for about five minutes; I would have thought that this place *only* did take out if I hadn’t peeked around the corner to look for a hostess. At last, a smiling face! She seated us near the closed up buffet and delivered menus.
The décor is pretty much what you would expect it to be for a Thai restaurant in a strip mall within Worcester city limits. The menu is pretty much what you would expect it to be for a Thai restaurant in general, but I did appreciate the vegetarian selections. Drinks were CHA-​EEEEEEP (but almost equally weak).
We ordered some tofu triangles (tasted a bit like it had been fried, refrigerated, and then reheated) and crab rangoon (small, possibly frozen) for the table. For meals my friend ordered a beef dish while my date and I ordered tofu pad thai and the Vegetable Rama. The rama was basically steamed veggies (loved that they weren’t over-​cooked — still snappy!) and pre-​fried-​re-​heated tofu cubes with a thick peanut sauce on the side. A puzzling straw basket with a plastic bag of sticky rice was delivered along with my dish (the rice was STICKY and difficult to dole out of the container, so I ended up just lumping it onto my plate). Essentially: the food was reasonably priced but lackluster in flavor and texture.
The saving grace was the absolutely wonderful service from some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Unfortunately, this isn’t enough to woo me back for wontons.

I absolutely love Racha Thai ! Me and my boyfriend have been coming here for like 5 years now and their food is never a let down. They are sincere and friendly people ! Their Pad Thai is the best I’ve ever had. I love the fact that they know me and my boyfriends order every time. It’s our spot and will always love this place.

I have been going to this Thai restaurant since it was located in Shrewsbury! I’ve tried every Thai place around and this is by far the best one.
My family and I always get the Tom kha soup, spring rolls, mini Thai rolls, chicken satay, veggie fried rice, sweet and sour pork and extra peanut sauce/​sweet and sour sauce! It’s delicious.
The service is quick and we go so often they know our order. Love it!

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurant in the Worcester area. Their Pad Thai is the best I’ve ever had and well worth a try.
This little diamond in the rough is off of Rt. 20 in Worcester, I’m not exactly sure where but it’s next to the obnoxiously bright McDonald’s and on my way to Blackstone Movie theatre, which is when I typically go, for a dinner and movie night. It’s always a bit dead inside and in a not so appealing plaza. This is a bit of a shame because their food is fantastic and well deserving of a bigger crowd. Maybe a change of location would do them some good.
So far I’ve tried the Pad Thai (obvs), spicy noodle, Tum Yum seafood soup, and coconut chicken soup. The spicy noodle was good but not as spectacular as the Pad Thai. Both soups were equally yummy, highly recommended.
Their drinks are also worth a mention as well. Very cute, girly, exotic, tasty and strong. They also have a beer menu.
The waitress (and I think owner) of the place was very nice. She recommended us to try her homemade chili sauce over the Sriracha with the noodles and it was definitely a winner. She let me grab a little container of it to go and now I pour a bit of it on everything I eat.

oh Unilocal… how you led me wrong…
i came here based on reviews i read, thinking «oh this sounds okay» NO. It took probably 10 mins for them to come and take our order… not many parties… so i’m sure they were just restocking silverware…
the pad thai was okay… it tasted good at first, but I’m thinking there was some extra amount of something that made it very. sweet/​sourish…
the glass noodle soup was kinda boring… for $ 3.50, i would expect a bigger bowl.
the egg rolls were egg rolls… you get 4 .
the duck with the plum sauce that i got only because someone kept talking about how good it was and other duck related things were good… NO NO you guys are sooo wrong !!! it was overcooked. and dry… and i didn’t even want to eat it… there goes $ 15! I was so mad… worst duck ever.
It was 36 $ for all of that. woulda been a good price if i liked it more. shame.
If i ever return. it will only be for buffet. that seems like a good deal.

BEST PAD THAI EVER.
They also have a very good buffet on Saturdays between 12−2pm. The buffet consist of pad Thai, fried rice, egg rolls, chicken curry (my fave), crab ragoons, Tom yum soup, and so much more!
I am a very happy customer and will continue to eat here.

I would say this is above average for what I’d expect in Central MA, but certainly a far shot from the best I’d ever had.
We ordered takeout (Pad Thai, Crazy Noodles, Pineapple Fried Rice and Fresh Rolls) and when I got there they’d apparently lost our order… not a big deal but not the best start to our business relationship.
The price was certainly right and I have to say I’ll definitely be back to give it another shot.
