Racha Noodles and Thai Reviews

I went here for an early dinner before the ballet. This place is extremely convenient to all folks doing something at or near Seattle Center. Relaxed, friendly service, huge wine pours, big portion size in their main dishes. I had duck curry, and it was creative and utterly delicious. Their "heat index" seems a little low compared to other Thai places...that is, one may need to order at least one step up on the "spicy heat" scale than they usually do. Both the bar and the restaurant seating is quite comfortable, if a little worn. I will go back to this one, and try other dishes.

Place is near hotel. Customer service is great. We had a lot of complimentary items such as appetizers and desserts included with our meal. Thai food was spot on and I would totally recommend this place.

Large family of 6, and they moved tables around quickly and got seated. Nice staff, decent quick service and food delivery. Was a very nice restaurant and the atmosphere is great. All good from our side.

The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was excellent, the service was. I liked the menu choices. They were interesting - not the same old stuff. The pot stickers were so fresh - the best I have ever had!

OMG! The food is so good! We live in Los Angeles and can’t find Thai food near this good! The restaurant is very nice and the service supreme.

I love this place! Efficient takeout, super friendly staff, great prices and everything is so good!! We’ll be back!

We stopped by this place when we were house hunting. The service was great and the food was excellent. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right. We will be going back here again. We were told it was a chain but the food sure didn't taste like it!

Solid Thai food that quietly offers a really nice Quality to Price Ratio (QPR) if you get take-out. I personally like any of the combinations (~$10) which also includes white/brown rice & soup with a healthy (2 normal person) size serving neatly boxed & wrapped. I (& many others) jump into the car & within 3-4 mins (if you make the light) can be sitting in iconic Kerry Park (or go west another 6 blocks to a park for a multi-million $ view). The wait staff is SUPER nice (even to us take out'ers).

Great atmosphere, fantastic service, huge menu selection, the flavors are amazing! Very authentic, and the portions are very large! The Phad Thai and Phad See Iew are the best you will find in Seattle!

Six of us all experienced great Thai food, expertly flavored! Service was lovely, even though they were very busy on this Thanksgiving weekend.

Visited here on a Wednesday so it wasn’t too surprising that it was a bit empty but my Pad Thai was very good and my husband and friend both enjoyed their meals. My only complaint was that the Cosmopolitan drink I ordered wasn’t very good so I wouldn’t order that again but I would definitely visit again.

Racha's is a great spot, with a very attractive ambiance, well-trained staff and delicious dishes. I was on my own and had the chicken skewers and pad thai. I'm already getting a craving for them just writing this! My server was terrific!

Racha Queen Anne never fails to deliver good food and service. I went with friends for lunch last week and the papaya salad and rad na was excellent. It had been a few years since I had been to Racha and it was nice to note that the quality and smiles all around are still there!

Very decent food and good atmosphere! I found the prices to be more than reasonable. We got an appetizer and 3 meals for $70. Definitely worth the money! The service left a bit to be desired but it was not terrible.

Ate dinner with a former colleague from teaching days in Thailand. This place is incredible. The food is so authentically Thai. The jungle curry (typical of the North and Northeast) -- without coconut milk -- was hearty and tasty and reminded me vividly of my time in Thailand. They do the Thai staples well, but be adventurous!

very tasty food in beautiful Thai setting. After seeing the Thai- based musical Waterfall several times I became fascinated by all things Thai and this places lives up to all that is wonderful about Thailand and the Thai people. Attentive service, tasty food, and a great location for trips to Seattle Reperatory Theatre, the opera, ballet, and Seattle Center festivals.

Happy Hour here is a bargain - $3 wine, $5 appetizers. All of us were pleased with our choices, food was well seasoned & well prepared. My red wine was surprisingly good for $3 - I think that's the least I have ever paid in Seattle for good wine. Service is a bit slow but the flip side is that we stayed a long time & never felt pressured to leave. Close to Seattle Center, this is a great choice for a meal before, after, during events there.

While staying in Queen Anne on vacation, I met some friends here for a catch-up dinner. My family of vegetarians had no problems finding several tasty options on the menu. The service was just OK, but the food was good. My wife ordered the Tom Ka soup with a spice level of 2, but it had nuclear heat. She likes things spicy, but she couldn't eat all of it; I had to finish it for her and give her some of my Royal Sweet & Sour. My daughter loved her Racha Salad.

Friendly, welcoming service and nice enough food. It was one of the best places I found in this area (I stayed round the corner for a week, so tried a few).

Food was hot, but that was about all that can be said. Staff were very overworked and it was reflected in the service (and I am easily served).

We were looking for a place that served vegan options, and this place had some great options. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Can't ask for much more.

Just went to happy hour at Racha. Sorry not goodl. Coconut Prawns were definitely from the freezer, seared ahi seemed to have been seared awhile ago and not good quality ahi, tempura shitake were heavy and peanut sauce was dreadful. Service was fine. Drink reasonably priced. Will not go back.

Diverse menu - very large choice of entrees. Some are vegetarian also. Noodles are delicious, as is the salmon. Big portions, but the price is higher than other Thai restaurants I've been to in Seattle. Perhaps it's the Queen Anne location is more expensive. Everyone's food was very good - hot tea was welcome on the cold and windy day. Good service. But pricey.

We had take-away from Racha Thai. It is reasonably priced, with an extensive menu, offering genuine Thai fare

Had a business lunch here and found the service and food to be vey good. The menu was more extensive than most Thai restaurants I have visited. For the first time had Pad Kee Mao with udon noodles which really added to the dish. This is a place definitely worth visiting.

This is a great spot to eat if you're attending an event at Seattle Center. I had lunch here with two girlfriends on the way to a play at the Seattle Repertory Theater. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and staff. We had crab and shrimp wraps, spring rolls, pud see ew, rad na, and racha fried rice. All our dishes were wonderful and I would recommend them all. Only tip is that 3 star was not as spicy as expected...tasted more like 2 star. I would definitely recommend this spot. They have lots of seating for various size groups.

My vegetarian companions love this place and I do too. They ordered the Sen Mee Tofu & Massaman Curry Tofu and loved them with white rice added. I chose brown rice with my Spicy Jungle Fire of beef. Savory, spicy, and perfect sauce with rice. Throw in a Stella draft and I was a happy guy. Service was nice and we were left to converse and enjoy with little interruption. Love that.

We were a party of 2 dining for lunch on September 19 @ 1230PM. Racha Noodles has been one of our absolute favorites for more than 3 years. We arrive and we are such regulars that we are not presented menus as we always have the same items.... PAST VISITS ORDER..2 Pud Thai Chicken plates with a 2 in heat....included with plates was a complementary starter of 2 egg type rolls + cup of daily soup and following lunch a very nice spoon of ice cream. Price $8.25 per lunch with total bill for 2.. $16.50 +tax $1.57 =$18.07 TODAYS VISIT ORDER... 2 Pud Thai Chicken plates with 2 heat...NO STARTER NO ICE CREAM OFFERED/INCLUDED ... PRICE $10.95 with total bill for 2 $21.90 + tax $2.10 $24.00 .... Thanks for the past but I will look for a new Thai favorite as there are many!

This restaurant has a large menu featuring a variety of Asian foods. We ate Thai food twice here during a 7 day stay. The dishes are generous in size and we always took a box of leftover food back to the hotel. The food was excellent.

Pud see eew with Chinese broccoli is my favorite! The sticky chicken wings are incredible, too.The service is fantastic. There is plenty of room for large groups.

We started with veggie spring rolls. Then, I had the duck curry and it was very good, mildly spicy. This is not an objection, but the it could easily have been shared with another person,therewas so much duck.

Efficient service, quality meal and friendly staff. We had a massman curry and a stir fry dish with local beers. Great value, pleasant surrounds.

We went to Seattle for a matinee play and decided to get there early for lunch. Our goal was Cajun or Indian but we wound up with Thai and WOW it was great. We had red chicken curry and something else I don't remember the name of, but we loved it. Service was great, food was prompt and for the area, the food and service it was reasonable. This is going down as one of those meals I will remember as one of my best meals ever. Wish I knew what our second dish was called. Sorry. however, if you like Thai, or even have never had it - start here. The second dish was a noodle dish as I read that's what they were know for. Yum.

This restaurant looks like an ordinary place as you walk by in the day time at night it comes alive .. The decor is great and as described in the title the food is wonderful .. You could see inside the kitchen and prep place from our table .. Our server was in a word business like ,, Forgot one order but did not charge us as we had to remind her and it came later . No smile as she led us to our table and nether when she asked us what we would like to order. This usually adds to comfort levels but maybe it was a bad day as no smiles were evident at any table she served .

We went to Racha for a late lunch on a Thursday. We were the only people in the resturant. We ordered the lunch special which came with soup, salad, two spring roll peices, pad thai, chicken skewers covered in peanut sauce and rice. The value of this was $11.99. Amazing. The meal was great. It was a more than filling lunch. I would eat here again.

Really good soups, lots of noodles in various sizes surrounded by wonderful broths and curries, tasty dipping sauces, traditional duck preparations...all with good service and reasonable prices. What's not to like? Well, to be honest, the bathrooms are really bad. They need a good overhaul, paint, and more care. Come on, Racha Noodles and Thai Cuisine, take care of this eyesore. If nothing else, a simple paint job is cheap and easy. No excuses.

Racha is still the best!! The service and food are excellent! Try the pad see ew with chicken. It won’t disappoint.

Racha Thai Cusine has a relaxed pleasant environment with great food and an efficient staff. It is convenient to nearby hotels and to Key Arena and other Seattle Center venues. Portions were ample and there were a variety of menu options including vegetarian. The five of us enjoyed the "Tower of Appetizers" prior to our entrees. Our granddaughter loved the huge mural of an elephant herd on the back wall. On our next Seattle trip, we will definitely want to return here......highly recommend!

The food was good but we have had better Thai food at several other places. In addition, their pricing is a bit high for what you receive.

This place was verry good. As well as the service. We had a big family and we were attended very well. I really recommend this place to anyone. The food was amazing as well.

From outside, by seing these old yellow menu, I didn't want to go there. I listened to my colleagues and it's just super good ! Take the combination ! Noodle are super good and everything is fresh ! I went three time during my week here.

Four of us took a casual food take out from Racha and were impressed by the quality of the food. As we waited for the order we sat and had a full view of the kitchen and food preparation. It filled us with confidence about the food standard we would be enjoying. We also witnessed clientele enjoying their meals in clean comfortable and simple surroundings. I would like to try the dining experience here some time soon.

Very good Thai food in a nice setting. We have been here multiple times and the service is always friendly, and the food is wonderful. One of the better stops for Thai food in the neighborhood.

We were walking down Mercer and settled on Racha for lunch based on its above average Yelp score and our hungry stomachs by the time we got there. Upon entering, I was hit with how authentic this place seems. I've never been to Thailand, but this was not the typical Americanized version of a Thai place. We were promptly seated and handed menus and water. I settled on the Massaman Curry since it said it was voted a CNN best food. The waiter never really came until we were ready to order which was odd but we were fine with it. The curry was awesome. It was sweet and when combined with the rice, beef, pineapples, and potatoes, was one of my favorite dishes I've had in awhile. The menu says it is level 2 spice, but I didn't get much of that at all, which again, was good with me. Everyone else at my table enjoyed their food as well, something that is actually pretty rare. Service was nowhere to be found for awhile, but when a waiter or waitress came, they were really pleasant and informative. I was struggling to rate this place between a 4 or 5, but the absence of service pushed it down to a 4. Would I come again? Absolutely. Great food--I could really go for some more as I'm writing this review.

Yes, the menus outside are fading (and nearly turned me away), and the inside could use a little cleaning up... The food was great, I asked for garlic chicken, add ginger, and extra veggies, which they did willingly and wonderfully. We had a great red curry chicken as well. The "appetizer" roll and soup they brought out was quite tasty as well, and just what I needed while coming off a bit of a cold. Super friendly and great service, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Seattle may be grey and soggy, but Racha is a lovely respite from the elements. Walk in under the fairy lights, and be greeted by smiling faces and you can relax, you'll be treated well, and have a great meal.

The food from Racha N & T was simply the best. We were in downtown Seattle for 2 nights and the food and service here has to be commended as remarkable.

I went here for dinner on Saturday night as they were one of a few restaurants still open for dinner at 930 along Mercer. The food is ok. I got a Red curry and it was standard. The prices are very inflated though. They charge extra for rice and the chinese broccoli that my husband ordered was $8.95. When is it ok for a side vegetable to cost the same as an entree. The one redeeming quality is that the service was really good. We had 3 people constantly ask us how the food was and even give us a refill on our rice. They were also good at tapping up our water. One other note, I like that you can see the kitchen, but one of the chefs was staring at me for quite some time. He may have just been zoning out and it looked as if he was looking at me, but he may not have.

The service here is pretty prompt, the food is very good and the portions are quite sizable. finding parking may be challenging, but that is typical of most eateries in Queen Anne. I like that their menu is quite extensive and i have yet to order anything that didn't taste excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you crave Thai food in the area. They also have a very good lunch menu with lunch prices

The ambiance at Racha Noodles is very nice. They have an extensive menu selection along with vegetarian choices. The food was very good the service was not. We were disappointed in that. This at 7:00 on a Thurs night with two other patrons so they were not busy. That said I would recommend Racha Noodles.

Racha's menu is wide-ranging with quite a bit more selection than your average Thai restaurant in the U.S. I was particlarly pleased to see a good selection of Thai-style salads. My laab gai (minced chicken with mint and basil in a spicy dressing) was quite good (although a little underspiced even though I asked for a spiciness of 4 on a 1-5 scale). Racha is a little spelndy but you doo get more choice and qulity for your extra dollars.

But set aside time. Worth it. We've been to Racha in Redmond so it had already set the bar high. Racha near Mercer exceeded our expectations! Delicious food, excellent selection and good service all made this an excellent lunch stop while in the area. My favorite was that this place is the first place to have spicy sweet & sour. In my top 10. Definitely in my top 3 Asian dishes.

I'm not a connoisseur of Thai food although I do like it. The soup was good and spicy. the main course fairly average, but the service was good and it was comfortable place to stop and eat.

Seated by the window, we could feel the summer breeze and watch the busy Saturday night go by. For starters, we ordered the Tower of Appetizers. All delicious and plenty to share. Beef and then chicken Pud Thai were ordered. Delicious and spicy and enough each for two people. Ordered one dish in a 5 spicy and one in a 3 spicy. Unfortunately, they both tasted the same and my son could barely stand to eat the 3 spicy. Overall, really good flavor. We also ordered the Princess Snow Pea with a side of rice. Flavorful chicken with healthy vegetables. Ordered this as a 3 spicy and it was just right. Service was good and staff very friendly. I would visit again if in the area.

Great place to have a quick hearty lunch.Uptown neighborhood where everything is within reach also near transportation options going in all directions.
