Racha Thai Cuisine

Woodinville, WA


Summary
Would we go there again: Yes

A nice Thai place. Good food, although I clearly can't speak to how true it is to real Thai food. Nothing's really stand-out about the place, but it's a good buy and good food. It's an especially good deal if you use the $5 coupon that they print on the back of the receipts at the local grocery stores.

Comments & Ratings
Tim's Comments:
Dang am I a sucker for that Pud Thai. I am sure they have other good dishes, but it is just too hard for me to resist that Pud Thai. Mmm. They offer all their dishes with the option of zero to four "stars" of spiciness. I ordered the three last time and could hardly taste any spiciness. I can't see how the four would be very bad. I gave them an 8 overall because of the coupon and the carving on the wall that has a bunch of elephants in it. I'm also a sucker for elephants.

Jeni's Comments:
The food was tasty and the service was good. I really liked the Thai Iced Tea that I had there last time. The Chai Tea was all right, but nothing great. I wish that there was free tea like at many other Asian restaurants.
