Relaxed eatery featuring well-known Thai specialties & cocktails in a low-lit setting.
Glad we stopped! We were just passing through and this was one of the first restaurants that popped up on google and had 4.5 ⭐️. We got the Thai rolls, Pad Thai and seafood fried rice (all very basic, I know) but all were very good. The staff were super friendly and gave us the perfect amount of space while being right there when we needed them! You can usually just a Thai restaurant on the Pad Thai and this one did not disappoint!!
The absolute best place to eat. The food is amazing and the people are even better. A family business that truly cares about making you happy. The absolute best. This place is a 5 star all day long. If you don’t think so it’s not them it’s you.
Last time I was here was in 2017. It appears they continue to be short staffed, which is unfortunate because this restaurant is a hidden gem. The Thai food here is exquisite. Their curry’s are so good. I ordered the squash curry with chicken. The dish is fragrant and flavorful. They manage to produce dishes that have a rich balance of flavors.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. The staff is friendly and diligent. The food is fresh and delicious. I enjoy the curry dishes with sticky rice. The spicy noodles and pad thai noodles are also very tasty. For appetizers I enjoy the crispy Thai rolls and Bangkok ravioli and crab Rangoon. I never get sick of this spot. Nice and quiet as well.
This is a nice thai restaurant with pleasant staff and decent food. Conveniently located on Rt 20 eastbound with a smallish shared plaza parking lot. It has a small unmarked handicapped ramp from the lot to the sidewalk. Doors are not powered. Parking lot is not well lit at night. During a recent visit they overcharged us by accident and promptly corrected the error when it was brought to their attention. We will be coming back here in the future instead of some of the competitors.
Update: The restaurant had heating issues during our most recent visit. They had tastefully designed space heaters to compensate for it.
The best thai food I have had outside of Thailand! I highly recommend them for all your thai food! I must order here 5 times a week!
We ordered th seafood rice, and spring veggie noodles. It was delicious.
Racha Thai is and has been our favorite take-restaurant for years. We used to come for their buffet, but it was too difficult to get all of us to decide to eat when they had the buffet available. We always get two curry dishes, a pad thai, and one or more other dishes. There are nine Thai restaurants closer to where I live than Racha Thai. Yet in our minds Racha Thai outshines them all.
The absolute best place to eat. The food is amazing and the people are even better. A family business that truly cares about making you happy. The absolute best. This place is a 5 star all day long. If you don’t think so it’s not them it’s you.
Excellent service food is astonishing all around just great ! To take the family out for a lovely evening
Extremely friendly staff, food is great, the restaurant and restroom(s) are very clean and well kept. Absolutely making this a regular spot.

The quality of the vegetables asnd meat never fasik to surprise me how fresh and consistently delicious the food is here. My boyfriend and I frequent monthly always feel better after
I really wish the food was less than decent, because EVERY time we pick up (and we always tip 20%) they are extremely rude. I literally walked in Monday, a women asked "yes?" I said I had a take out order. She points to the counter with 3 bags and walks away. Third time's the charm. Not going back!
We absolutely love Racha Thai! The food is consistently delicious no matter what we try! Our favorite staple dishes are spicy noodle and red curry. We are so lucky to live so close to Racha - it is our go to takeout spot when we don’t feel like cooking and truly never disappoints.
My take out place every weekend.
Delicious food.
Hands down the best Thai food I've ever had. I lived in Millbury for a couple of years and had Racha on speed dial for take out on the way home. No joke, they knew when I called in what my order would be: lemongrass chicken, extra snow peas. I have been chasing that high standard of extraordinary food and service in the Boston area since and have yet to find it. Love and miss this place.
I ordered take out. The food was amazing. We used to go to another place but they closed and I am very happy I found this place. I would highly recommend it and I would recommend the basil chicken.
There's not many people who work here so everyone has multiple "hats" but with that said, the service is great and the food comes out quickly and delicious!!
Try the lemon grass chicken!
Service was friendly and extremely fast, and the food was very good! I had a very flavorful chicken and squash red curry, and the kids had pad Thai. Everybody enjoyed what they got. Atmosphere was lovely inside.
Every dish I've ever eaten here is Amazing! I can't imagine life without them. Especially love the Red Curry Chicken.
Loved it!!
My family adores Racha Thai and has frequented both the Shrewsbury and Worcester locations numerous times. Although we haven't had the opportunity to leave a five-star review, we cherish the welcoming atmosphere and exceptional customer service. The experience feels more like being at home than at a restaurant. The food is consistently delightful, with our favorite dishes being the papaya salad and tom yum seafood, which we order without fail. Despite the closure of the Shrewsbury location, we continue to visit Racha Thai on Route 20 in Worcester.
Good food and a buffet !
Easily the best Thai food in the area. Dine in and take out. Don't let the location fool you.
Best dish, in my opinion, is the Imperial Lamb.
I get the spicy mango chicken and spicy rice. Always fresh, always tasty.
We both thought our food was excellent and better than many Thai restaurants we've been to.
The server was very nice and I am only giving 4 stars because a couple times I had to get her attention when we were out of water or were ready for the check.
The restaurant was clean, and there was no wait at 8:00 on a Saturday. We will be going again soon.
Loved the atmosphere! It was relaxing, nice decor, nice tables, and the staff was very friendly. The pad thai was very good just rated 4 because the chicken was very dry. My husband got the green curry and I stole a few bites and that was very good as well. I'd definitely go back.
Very quaint little place always nice to have lunch or dinner with a friend or 2 food is delicious and very reasonably priced...recommended
Great Thai food and such a large variety to choose from.
Awesome ! Got the yellow curry, will grab again for lunch!
Their pad thai never everrr fails!!! Thank you so much for accepting and making our late order! We drive 30 minutes to get food here!
Food arrived promptly and service was good. The setup has a tasteful, low-cost small business aesthetic. looks elegant thanks to some inventive fixes.
I have been here many times. Delicious food and peaceful atmosphere. Would strongly recommend if you want to try thai food.
Amazing food and quick and pleasant service!!
Great service, delicious food, nice atmosphere. I got the Panang Curry and it was very tasty. Highly recommend!
Best Thai hands down!
Excellent place a hidden gem.
Tried this Thai spot for the first time. Food was good though we both ordered out of our comfort zone. Ok ordering that way as the menu does the best job of describing what meals are. We have found other Thai menus to be more guesswork for the uninitiated.
Service was good and food came quickly. The decor is a nice thrifty small business kind of set up. Looks classy via some creative solutions.
We will give it another try sometime soon.
Ordered Bangkok Beef for takeout. Was so-so. Didn't have much flavor.
Food is ok, nothing great. With curry dish you need to pay extra for rice, which is rare. Ordered tofu middles, they served chicken noodles. Noodles were overcooked. Fish dish was salty.
Great food fast service
This is by far the best Thai in the world! It is also better and cheaper than Chinese food, period! I highly recommend the chicken fried rice and chicken satay.

Good option in the area - only Thai around Greenwood neighborhood. Pricier than other Worcester Thai spots
The best Thai food restaurant I have ever been to. We love the beef satay, Wonton soup, and lemongrass chicken.
Great Thai place nestled in a small plaza. Been here twice and both times the food has come out piping hot and delicious.
Prices are super reasonable as well. Just a tad pricier than McDonald's, but a much better experience. If you're in the area and looking for some excellent Thai food, check out Racha Thai.

Best crab Rangoon anywhere!
Great food and service. We've been customers for 20+ years and it's consistently delicious!
Fantastic range of Thai food, fresh ingredients, reasonable prices, family-run, same great experience three times…
The food at this place was good, but it didn't make me feel like I was in Thailand. I expected much more from this restaurant after reading the reviews here. Moreover it is quite expensive for the portion size. At dinner you have to order the rice extra. Our waitress was not really present and attentive. If I'd come back to this place definitely only for lunch (prices are cheaper and rice is included).
This is by far my favorite Thai restaurant in Worcester county, and we've tried them all. The food is very authentic and delicious, from the Tom Yum to Pad Ga Prow! Our absolute favorite is the ginger lobster and Thai Hot Pot loaded with fresh seafood and fresh lemongrass and kiffir lime leaves. Ask for their spice tray if you like heat. The service and environment matches the high quality of delicious menu available. Treat yourself to the mango sticky rice for dessert, you're going to love it.
Service were a bit slow, I saw another table took 30 minutes to get order taken from waitress, foods were good, Papaya salad weren't that great or spicy at all, that's fine, we didn't ask for it.
The perfect example of an unassuming location and great food. Racha is tucked into the back corner of a little shopping plaza, and from the outside, looks like it might only be big enough to do take out. Step inside, and there's a lovely, peaceful dining space, clean and tastefully decorated. The food was delicious. Pad Thai is the perfect comfort food, but I often don't order it after being disappointed a few times. This was great. Perfect balance of sauce and noodles, tender chicken pieces that weren't dry. The basil fish fillets were so flavourful and cooked perfectly, crisp on the outside and moist flakes on the inside. The calamari rings were obviously fresh, not overcooked, and with such light batter! Perfect with the sweet chili sauce. Our kids demanded bites of all sorts of things they wouldn't usually try. A+.
Love Racha Thai. I have been going there for about 20 years. Since I now live in Maine, whenever I'm in the Worcester area, I make it a point to visit for lunch.
Nice service , amazing food , and the young asian waitress is so hot . Would come back again
Love this place. The food is always delicious and the service is great.
Loved the food and the ambiance. So many beautiful eastern statues. Very peaceful, great food and great service.
Best Thai restaurant around. Everything is always fresh. My wife and I eat there as often as we can.
My sister loves it too.
Excellent food. Great prices. Reccommend the Golden cups and the curry dishes
My wife and I love Racha Thai. It's close by, and the food is always excellent.
based on the location I wasn't expecting much but the food was great and full of flavor. would definitely go again.
The food and service were excellent. I really enjoyed the Mango infused chicken!
The waitress was helpful, especially when we informed her that we were in a bit of a hurry. She quickly brought the takeout boxes we asked for and the check at the same time.
The ambience was pleasant as well.
I would highly recommend Racha Thai, located in the same plaza as Pinoy Republic.
Very good.
I've been here several times for take out. The food is always fresh, the portions are perfect and the staff is friendly. The lemongrass chicken lunch special is very delicious and a bargain! The chicken Rama is also a great dish! The veggie tempura is crisp and not overly breaded.
Really good food
Food was flavorless which should never be the case with Thai food. Not the worst I've had but certainly wouldn't bother going back.
Foods good, sometimes they give you really big tomato pieces in the Pineapple cashew rice that really throws you off, still good tho 😂
Consistently good Thai food.
Food was unique and absolutely delicious. Not much on atmosphere, but the food made up for it. Had something called " Angel Wings" . Highly recommend.
Great food. Call ahead.
Love Thai Food ! Service was terrific, and the food is so light and delicious.
Devine!
Food as awesome as always. Try the Pho!
RACHA THAI is where I had my first THAI food here in Worcester...and they NEVER disappoint...always solid entries, great flavors. Highly recommend them !!
Every time I’ve ordered from here it’s been amazing. The drunken noodles. Pad Thai. Delicious food. Best Thai in the city no doubts.
Food consistently good, service is quick and friendly. Very convenient location near major routes, free parking lot. Make sure to order rice separately for the dinner menu. There are a number of vegetarian/vegan options, so that's a plus for me. Vegetable Tom Kha soup is delicious! I love the vegetable curry with tofu. Racha Thai is popular, so sometimes the phone number is busy or doesn't get answered right away, but usually that's not the case.
Excellent food at decent prices, Racha Thai has speedy service and friendly staff. The noodle dishes and above par for your typical Westernized Thai food. The drunken noodles are my favorite; flavorful and savory with all the right spice notes. Go ahead and ask them to "make it spicy" if you have the tongue for it!
Best Thai food around!
LOVE this place. Everything is so fresh and flavorful and very moderately priced. Clean restaurant and fast service!
So delicious. My favorite is spicy chicken noodles. Don't get it to spicy I'll warn you!
Pretty good thai food. Had the pad thai, which was a little soupy but great blend of flavors and shrimp cooked well. The mini thai rolls were very addictive and pop-able. Couldnt stop eating them. Got lunch and have at least 2 portions left over! Will definitely be back.
My family takes out a few times a month. It is our favorite Thai food restaurant. You can eat there as well. We love the Beef Superb, Lemon Grass Chicken & Masamam Curry. A few of the best dishes on the menu ! They all have nuts in them. If you have an allergy or prefer no nuts make sure you specify ! The Spicy Fried Rice is Excellent ! The white rice is also good. You need to order that separately at dinner time, otherwise only comes with the lunch menu. They recently went up on there prices, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. I do realize prices go up, however we have been going here for many years & will keep going, just not as often as we'd like now..
You will not be dissapointed !
Veery good Pad Thai. I love their Crazy Noodle. Good for takeout. Nice atmosphere when eating in.
Favorite love it
This has been my favorite restaurant for half a decade. They have their sister sites but Racha Thai is my favorite. Their dipping sauce is amazing with nearly anything. If you like different food than just fried american with butter, then definitely try it.
Best thai food I've ever had
Great drinks. Food has good proportions and is tasty. Not crowded bcuz of covid but eat in with no risk
excellent cocktails and Thai food
Great food, great service
Best Thai food I've been to. Staff is friendly and welcoming
Excellent flavorful food
This Thai restaurant does not look like much on the outside, but I thoroughly like the food. The waitstaff is knowledgeable, and helpful
Very good Thai food. Hidden gem.
Delicious
Quick Fast Service! Excellent fresh spring rolls.
Overpriced and bland never again. Would recommend the Thia place on park ave.
I always come here with my girlfriend. The sticky rice is phenomenal. The staff is amazing!! Highly recommend!!
Food is amazing. Service is great. Very clean.
Their seafood tom yum soup used to be my favorite but the quality has changed
The pad Thai and crab rangoons are amazing.
Best Thai Restaurant in Worcester. Amazing dishes and very kind and gentle staff.
Tom yum soup is perfect on a cold day
Pad Thai hit the spot
Nice little hole in the wall. Delicious food and decent small buffet
Have not had a single good meal here. My go to at any Thai place is chicken pad Thai and Panang curry. Don’t go here if you want either of those.
This place is relaxing
Delicious Food wonderful staff
