Why not try Rain Thai on a rainy day? This place was recommended by Chatt friends so I stopped in for a quick lunch. I enjoyed the ambiance and the service. Our server, MJ, was friendly and attentive. I thought the Thai food was pretty average though. I had the Spicy Thai Basil with chicken. There was way too much white rice and not enough sauce for it, and I didn't taste much spice at all despite being "medium spice". They could do with a bit less rice or more sauce for the lunch portion. I did enjoy the basil leaves adding to the flavor though. Also, I had a bite of the yellow curry, and there wasn't much standout flavor to it. I won't rain down stars or criticisms, but Rain Thai is a pretty solid mid-range for Thai food. read more

Rain Thai Bistro - Thai Spicy Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

many times over the last 10 years I have yet to have a bad experience. I recently had their sushi and it was a huge roll that I could barely finish. I believe it cost $20 next time I need to order half because it was so big that I could I couldn't finish it so I was so full. This speaks to the quality of the high standard of food that they provide. I love the ambience deceiving and even the room that you can reserve our large party here this is graduation and have a really good time. It's a traditional sit on the floor high for holes in the ground. Be careful of the holes. Some people fell in, but it was really fun. is it the best thai Food I ever had? No but it's exceptional. read more

My order came from the Broad Street location. I did get the dinner portion so that I would have leftovers. My order was delivered extremely fast and it was hot when it arrived. I got an order of crispy spring rolls, they were delicious and the Classic Pad Thai, medium sauce, and with chicken, shrimp, and pork. Meat didn't have much flavor but I used the sauce to take care of that. read more

Visiting the area and had a need to Thai one on, and Siri suggested Rain Thai. If the host offers you a high top table TURN IT DOWN, and ask for a regular table. Apparently, the bartender is also the server for the high tops and she's too busy making tips from making drinks to give you the same level of service the other servers give. The only reason I'm giving them any positive stars is the Pad Prik King was fantastic!!! The right flavor and the perfect Thai hot!!! The spring rolls were also of the highest quality and quite tasty as well!!! Aside from the inattentive service, when the bartender brought out my dish, there was no rice. I didn't realize there wasn't any rice until I went to scoop some into my plate. Never did get the bartender's attention to ask for rice so I ate it without. To be honest I didn't miss the rice, the dish was that tasty!!! There was plenty left over so I asked for a to go box for my spring rolls and dinner, when she brought the bill. She gave me one box for both the spring rolls and meal. Needless to say, the spring rolls soaked in the curry paste juice may be quite tasty... The food is great, just don't sit at a high top table. It's not fair to the bartender and not fair to you... read more

The last time I was here, it was years ago when I was a college student. I have fond memories eating here with friends in the cool ambiance of the "Rain Room" and sharing bites of mango sticky rice. I came here with a friend visiting from out of town. We were seated pretty quickly. To my surprise, I had no idea they served sushi here so we got the California roll. My friend had some type of curry, I think the Red Curry with tofu. And I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken at medium spice. Usually I order Pad Thai at different restaurants with medium spice and it's been the level of spicy that I expect. However this time, my Pad Thai wasn't spicy at all. If anything, it tasted mild with slightly spicy pockets here and there in between the noodles. So I was pretty disappointed at the spice level. Other than that aspect, my Pad Thai was good. It was flavorful, nutty, and had the perfect amount of sauce to noodle ratio. The noodles had a good consistency and the veggies were crunchy and fresh. Sushi was tasty as well. Our server checked up on us multiple times and was friendly. However at the table we were seated at, we were lacking a couple things like soy sauce and spicy/hot sauce. Although our server was quick to get us what we needed. Overall, I'd give this place a 3.5/5. read more

Rain Thai Bistro has become my go to lunch spot for a quick filling meal when on a work trip at the Chattanooga Airport. My colleague and I come for their lunch special, where we split a shrimp shumai and I order a curry dish. The meal sizes are appropriate to not put you in an afternoon slump and keep you full until dinner time. The flavors are good and the price is appropriate. read more

Rain Thai Bistro - Steamed dumpling - Thai Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Waiter was great and kept making sure food was good. Food was amazing. Best Thai restaurant in this area by far.

Pretty decent Thai. Great spring rolls and be careful with the side of spicy mustard. It will light you up.

Rain's Thai Fried Rice was the best restaurant fried rice I've ever had. It reminded me of the fried rice my Lola made. I'd highly recommend the crispy rolls, too. They taste similar to Lumpia and are soooo delicious and flavorful. I just wish they had better sauce for dipping. A sweet chili sauce, like Mae Ploy, would've been great with the rolls. Our server was fast and had a great memory. He refilled our drinks before we even had to ask. Ambiance was clean, lots of booth, but nothing to provide a memorable experience. If I was a local, I'd order my food to-go or get delivery. Would recommend! read more

My coworker and I went here for dinner, on a Monday. They were busy we put our name on the list and waited. The host ask us if we wanted to sit at the sushi bar we said sure as long as we could eat there. We sat here and it took 15 mins for someone to wait on us and that is because we had to flag someone down. By the time we got a server he said he didn't know he had the sushi bar area today. But he didn't seem sorry or anything and not prepared to wait on us. After finally ordering the food did take some time for it to come out, but our waiter never said anything to us about this. My low rating is really a reflection of the service and not the food I have nothing but praise for the food and drinks. Food came out as orderI do wish the rain noddles came with more sauce. Everything was fresh and loved every bite of it . read more

Stopped by this place on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was friendly and efficient. They did have a private seating area that was Japanese style where you get to sit on cushions on the floor with a low table. We wanted to order Thai tea, but they were out which is super unfortunate for a Thai restaurant. We ordered spicy basil noodles, panang curry and spicy basil fried rice all medium spicy. I've never seen panang curry with this red of a color before but it was absolutely delicious. All the portion sizes for the price were decent and there was not a single miss. I was personally a fan of the way they cooked their tofu. Nice ambience and atmosphere & of course vegetarian friendly. Highly recommend to those on the way or in the area! Would definitely visit again. read more

Great food for the area! Staff was kind and attentive and the portions were large and a generous price.

Ask for Tim he will treat you right around just enough to service your needs. The food and flavors are fresh and clean the portions are over sized just right for a late night snack! Do bring your glasses as we found it a bit dark but Tim was there and made great suggestions for us. read more

Good Thai food the service is very good the ambience very comfortable enjoy going there often

The red curry was very watery. It was still really good, but felt like it should've been a little thicker. The service is good, but not amazing. We ordered 3 entrees. They brought out 2 of them pretty quick. They forgot to put in the third one. It was pretty annoying and it took them a while to make it even after we reminded them. They ended up giving us the third entree for free which was nice of them. read more

Was sent to the bar to get my food, they didn't see my order and then passed back to the waiting area, food had been sitting up front the whole time.. The noodles were dry and mashed together, and the spring rolls tasted old like they were sitting in a heat box. I don't usually pay 42.00 for a meal but it was my birthday dinner read more

Last afternoon we went for a quick lunch, and the food was great, no doubt. When we left, my daughter realized that she has forgotten her Air pods, so we called the restaurant and luckily they found them. Unfortunately, I couldn't make a U-turn since my older child had a plane to catch. After leaving her at the airport we came back to Rain Bistro only to find that some Door Dasher, who had come to pick up food, also conveniently pocketed the Air pods. My daughter was devastated. She used them a lot for studying and doing school assignments. especially being the finals week. According to RB, when they find something that is left behind by the customer, they proudly put it in a wire basket right in front on the reception table. It is their practice, that is what I was told. So these high-school-drop-out nitwits, put the Airpods in the wire basket, which the dasher did not hesitate to pocket. God forbid if you lose a wedding ring, they will proudly dangle it at the reception table for someone to pluck and pocket it. Dashers are known thieves, some of them. I have restaurant and I can vouch for it. But it seems to me that this was RB's first-of-a-kind experience! Unbelievable though. When we find any valuables left behind in my restaurant, we will save it in a place where the sun doesn't shine, until the rightful owner shows up. Rain Bistro serves good food, but doesn't give a rat's ass about other people's property. SO make sure you don't leave anything behind! SHAME ON YOU RAIN BISTRO. read more

Food was very tasty and consisted of fresh ingredients for sure. Outstanding service was provided by Evan. He was very courteous and helpful with our menu selections. I did find the Medium spice level on my dish to be a bit too mild and would recommend that you keep that in mind when placing your order. We all agree that we would return another time. read more

Great experience coming here. And would easily recommend to others. Food was delicious. Sushi appetizer was prompt and tasted high quality. Our server, Annemarie, was very curtious and her speed of service was excellent! Only reason for 4 stars is the music was too loud. Everyone in my party did have to speak louder than usual to carry conversations. read more

We ordered take out which was an easy experience. I asked if the restaurant offered gluten-free soy sauce (some do!) and was told they do. I ordered a pad see ew with the gluten free sauce. It was not until I got home that I saw that just didn't put any sauce at all- so basically I got plain noodles and vegetables. So that's a bummer. If you don't have it, it's ok- just say no and patrons can order. something else The pad Thai was good. Also- No sushi on Monday or Tuesday which is not on their website. read more

I have been twice and older carry out both times. Plenty of parking in that area. Staff was okay. They didn't go out of their way to greet me and there were a few towards the front. I ordered the Thai basil fried rice, Thai tea ( my favorite) and the spring roll. I did mention I have been twice. It was good. Enjoyed all the items and had a little to eat later. The only challenge was the staff wasn't the most welcoming but again I was getting my food to go so I didn't have to engage long. Food was good n read more

Good, not great. Did pad woon sen (my goto dish for new Thai places) and a massaman curry. Good. Not great. Higher prices made us want to push it to a three, but they were fast, polite, and it's a fru-fru sort of place- although our orders were to-go. I have no real reason to want to return. NOT INEXPENSIVE. read more

I highly recommend this thai restaurant. I really like the chicken satay and I always get double order of it with extra sauce. It comes with a peanut sauce that is very tasty. I usually get it delivered to my office a couple times per week. I have not been inside the restaurant but the food is FANTASTIC. Highly recommend. read more

I usually like Thai so I don't have to worry about MSG since most good Thai restaurants don't use it. Not asking was my fault and I could tell 1/2 way through my lunch that it had quite a bit. Service was OK, We ordered a: Green Curry Chicken - Flavor was good but curry was very watery and a very small portion, at least for $13 Lunch. I'll be generous and give it a 2.5 out of 5 Garlic lovers Beef was good and a better portion but REALLY heavy on the MSG. Once again a 2.5 out of 5 Pad Thai Chicken was a complete letdown, Small portion of what was basically al-dente spaghetti tossed in a little sauce and a little chicken. I unfortunately ordered this to go otherwise I would have sent it back. 1 out of 5 So the hunt for a high quality Thai spot in Chattanooga continues! read more

I dined at Rain Thai Bistro on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at around 5pm. For a party of 4, we didn't wait very long, maybe 10 minutes. We sat in the "Rain room," which had spread-out, boxed in tables that were recessed into the floors. Seating was For the appetizers, we ordered steamed dumplings, fresh basil rolls, and chicken satay. Steamed dumplings were good in size, but were kinda bland and didn't have shrimp. The basil rolls were nicely rolled and light. Chicken satay were better than average compared to other Thai restaurants'. The sushi rolls had a lot of rice and were quite big. The eel rolls (dragon and Heaven&Hell rolls) had generous amount of eel. The volcano roll was heavy, but if you like a lot of cheese and cream, I'd recommend it. The classic pad Thai was a little saucy for my taste, but seasoning and flavor was on point. The talay salad was good; seafood tasted fresh. The crispy duck was a little overcooked, but was seasoned nicely. Service was excellent. Food came out in reasonable time. Our waitress, Brittany, was very attentive and accommodating. Considering the quality of the food that we ordered, I thought the price value was appreciable. Overall, I was satisfied and would return next time I'm in Chatanooga. read more

I found my favorite Thai place. I ordered through door dash and was not disappointed. I ordered classic Pad Thai and spicy Basil noodles and Rains curry. The spicy basil noodles are the best.

This use to be one of my favorite Thai places it's still pretty good but not as great as I remember. The host was friendly and we got seated right away. We ended up in the rain room and I love the atmosphere in there so that was nice. Our server Andrew was very attentive and friendly to our table. The spring rolls are super delicious. It's easily their best starter. We had a variety of entrees. I got the chicken pad thai. Wasn't a huge fan of how much chicken was in it because the chicken wasn't too good. read more
