Food and service was great! Will definitely be back.

Diner Review №2

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!

Diner Review №5

Diner Review №6

I've been eating here for many years and the food is always good. Service is good too. Recommended. Try the Kao Soi noodles. You'll never go back.

Diner Review №7

We ordered th seafood rice, and spring veggie noodles. It was delicious.

Diner Review №8

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.

Diner Review №12

Excellent service food is astonishing all around just great ! To take the family out for a lovely evening

Diner Review №13

Extremely friendly staff, food is great, the restaurant and restroom(s) are very clean and well kept. Absolutely making this a regular spot.

Diner Review №14

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!!

Diner Review №15

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

Diner Review №16

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!

Diner Review №17

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.

Diner Review №18

My take out place every weekend.

Diner Review №19

Diner Review №20

Delicious food.

Diner Review №21

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.

Diner Review №25

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.

Diner Review №26

This is some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had! Everything we ordered was incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is kind. We love coming here!

Diner Review №27

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!

Diner Review №28

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.

Diner Review №29

Every dish I've ever eaten here is Amazing! I can't imagine life without them. Especially love the Red Curry Chicken.

Diner Review №30

Loved it!!

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

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.

Diner Review №33

Good food and a buffet !

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

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.

Diner Review №36

I get the spicy mango chicken and spicy rice. Always fresh, always tasty.

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

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.

Diner Review №39

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.

Diner Review №41

Very quaint little place always nice to have lunch or dinner with a friend or 2 food is delicious and very reasonably priced...recommended

Diner Review №42

Great Thai food and such a large variety to choose from.

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

Awesome ! Got the yellow curry, will grab again for lunch!

Diner Review №45

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!

Diner Review №46

Food arrived promptly and service was good. The setup has a tasteful, low-cost small business aesthetic. looks elegant thanks to some inventive fixes.

Diner Review №47

I have been here many times. Delicious food and peaceful atmosphere. Would strongly recommend if you want to try thai food.

Diner Review №48

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. I'll be back , definitely!

Diner Review №49

Amazing food and quick and pleasant service!!

Diner Review №50

Great service, delicious food, nice atmosphere. I got the Panang Curry and it was very tasty. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №51

Best Thai hands down!

Diner Review №52

Excellent place a hidden gem.

Diner Review №53

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.

Diner Review №55

Ordered Bangkok Beef for takeout. Was so-so. Didn't have much flavor.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

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.

Diner Review №59

Great food fast service

Diner Review №60

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.

Diner Review №61

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.

Diner Review №62

Good option in the area - only Thai around Greenwood neighborhood. Pricier than other Worcester Thai spots

Diner Review №63

The best Thai food restaurant I have ever been to. We love the beef satay, Wonton soup, and lemongrass chicken.

Diner Review №64

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.

Diner Review №65

Decent if unremarkable Thai food although not as spicy as I was hoping. We showed up right after they opened for lunch service and the place was completely empty, although other diners did trickle in. Would be willing to try the place again if we were in the area.

Diner Review №66

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.

Diner Review №80

Food is good. We ordered tom kha soup, siam fried rice and mango chicken. I loved everything, mango chicken is little sweet.

Diner Review №81

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).

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

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.

Diner Review №86

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.

Diner Review №87

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.

Diner Review №105

based on the location I wasn't expecting much but the food was great and full of flavor. would definitely go again.

Diner Review №106

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.

Diner Review №107

Very good.

Diner Review №108

Pretty good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Overall a good experience

Diner Review №109

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.

Diner Review №110

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.

Diner Review №115

Foods good, sometimes they give you really big tomato pieces in the Pineapple cashew rice that really throws you off, still good tho 😂

Diner Review №127

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 !!

Diner Review №128

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.

Diner Review №129

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.

Diner Review №130

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!

Diner Review №131

Best Thai food around!

Diner Review №132

LOVE this place. Everything is so fresh and flavorful and very moderately priced. Clean restaurant and fast service!

Diner Review №133

So delicious. My favorite is spicy chicken noodles. Don't get it to spicy I'll warn you!

Diner Review №134

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.

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

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 !
