Loved the "little mermaid" appetizer (aka deep fried shrimp in egg roll skins). Will definitely order again!

The first Thai restaurant in Scranton, boasting a ridiculously large menu, is still on top (or close enough to it). I've never had bad service at a Thai restaurant and this place is no exception. read more

By far the best Thai restaurant in Scranton for what that is worth. No but seriously, the wait staff are all super friendly and remember their regulars and if you celebrate a birthday here, your in for a treat! it's more embarassing then anything else but then again what birthday at a restaurant isn't? Personal favorite dishes include the Thai flat bread with chicken curry and the pineapple fried rice which is one of the best I have ever had. Huge fan of both items. Looking forward to my next visit back to Scranton and I will stop by here for sure again. read more

Definitely a solid 4 stars for Scranton. We actually meant to try Thai Thai Scranton, which is a block away, but they were unfortunately closed for lunch on Valentine's. Thai Rak Thai was tasty and affordable, and close to a couple of other downtown spots to visit after a meal (vinyl store, vapor bar, etc). We started with the calamari, and I had a papaya salad for my entree. My boyfriend had the red curry and was pleased with the generous amount of rice he received with it. He only mentioned the curry might be a bit thin, but it was still good. I had a Thai tea as a dessert, which was standard. Overall, good and authentic choice if you're in the area. read more

Being the Thai food lover that I am, when I was in Scranton, my husband and I had to try to find a place for lunch that we were both going to be happy with and this seemed to fit the bill. It was nearby, the reviews were good, and it looked like a nice place (when compared to a lot of other places we had driven past). Having a great number of yummy Thai restaurants near us in Pittsburgh is what made our experience here less than fabulous. My husbands Drunken Noodle was good according to him, however, my Pad Thai... I barely was able to eat it. Chicken was barely cooked, noodles were hard, and it just did not have the normal flavors that I was used to. Service was fast, it was a cute little place, prices were uber cheap (less than $15 for 2 lunches that were nice portions if my dish would have been edible). read more

Mango Juice w/ rose. So cute W/ the straw folded as a rose :) and delicious. I had the Drunken Noodles w/ chicken and tried a friends Pad Thai. Both were to die for. If I weren't here in Scranton for business I'd frequent this place. read more

I haven't been here in such a long time, but I still remember my experience very well. I wanted to try roasted duck because there were Geico caveman commercials with roasted duck in them (I'm completely serious, this was the only reason I wanted or even thought about trying duck). So, I went with the honey roasted option and it was amazing. However, as is apparently the case with duck, it was very greasy. I thought I was dying or had food poisoning, but I soon found out I had some stomach problems and lots of grease was going to continue to make me feel this way. So, duck, to me, is like ice cream to someone who is lactose intolerant. The end. PS: I still think I'm ready to come back and try it again then worry about the repercussions later. read more

Normal times it's great to dine in and hang out with Helen (the best server in town). But in these times the take out is almost as good! I highly recommend Thai Rak Thai and their many vegetarian dishes. read more

This place is awesome. I've visited there many times with friends and professors. It IS BYOB, although I've never brought my own wine so I'm not sure if there's a corking fee (I dont think there is). I've been a constant fan of their spring rolls and plum sauce as well as their pad thai. However, depending on the day the spiciness level definitely varies. I've ordered a 2 star that has tasted like a 3 star and a 3 star that tasted like a 2 star, though most of the time is was pretty consistent. The staff is SUPER friendly and always happy to see you whether it's your first time there or if you've been there 100 times. I was a frequent visitor for take-out and they always welcomed me warmly and offered me water and a seat. The food comes out fast and hot and they also have an awesome way to celebrate birthdays. They turn on a color disco ball and sing. All around it's a great experience and excellent food. read more

We finally stopped in here for the first time over the weekend, after hearing good things via word of mouth and on Yelp. We were greeted by a very friendly server, who was genuinely happy to be serving us and did an excellent job from start to finish. I had to try the drunken noodles (added shrimp on mine) since I'd heard so many good things. I ordered them "medium spicy" and they were different from anything I'd had before and I'd get them again in a second. Maybe with full heat next time. We also tried the spring roll app and duck salad, and my wife also had a dish with noodles that was somewhat similar to the drunken noodles. The name of that dish I can't recall, but it was excellent, too. The spring rolls reminded me of an egg roll that you'd get in a Chinese restaurant, and came with a dipping sauce that was somewhat sweet. They are good, but not as unique as many of the other menu items. The duck salad comes with ginger, apples, pineapple, cashews, etc. The salad is really good, with a bunch of different flavors going on. The blue paint inside is kind of funky, but in a good way. The dining room is clean and intimate and, as I said before, the staff is very welcoming. I saw a lot on the menu that I'd like to try. We'll be back sometime soon. read more

Pad Thai Lobster so good. Thank you so much for warm welcome good food best service. We will come back again. read more

The food was fine if a bit spicy hot. However it took almost 2 hours for our food to be delivered using grub hub. I don't know who was to blame but WAY too long to wait. read more

I have heard great things about this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Me and my friends went on I would say a prime dinner time and there was a table able to accommodate my group. The service was great and I love the atmosphere of the place. I got the drunken noodles with medium spice which at first I thought would be too much, but after eating it for a while I got used to it. I would recommend this dish if you are new to Thai food like I was. It was so good and worth your money. I can not wait to come here more and get the food delivered!! read more

I absolutely love this place. Great food, great prices, great staff. It's become my favorite restaurant in Scranton very quickly. I recommend the Thai iced tea! read more

Nice service, food was good, not real Thai. If we return to Scranton, we would visit again. read more

The restaurant is good. The food is 3.5 stars. The service is 4.5 stars. We ordered satay and fried fish balls for appetizers. For entrée we had drunken noodles with chicken and spicy basil fried rice with jumbo shrimp. The chicken satay was dry. The meat needed to marinated longer and need to have more spices. It seems the satay has been americanised. The fried fish ball was chewy and tasty. The drunken noodles was good. I have had better however. The spicy basil fried rice was flavorful but rice was too undercooked. I do agreed that the rice must have that chewy texture which means it has to be slightly undercooked. But it seemed their fried rice should have stayed in the pot for a few mins more. On the whole a good experience. read more

Great little place! One of our favorites in downtown Scranton. Great menu and service. The restaurant was clean and welcoming.

Place is alright at best. I like the tea and the spring rolls the most. The noodle dishes are usually greasy though so if I come here it's typically for the tea and rolls. The last time I came here my experience wasn't all that good though. Our food was brought out lukewarm. This rubbed me the wrong way, especially since it took over 45 minutes for us to even get our food. At this point I didn't want to complain, wasted a bit of money here and was upset over that. read more

We've gotten take out here twice and both times we were impressed. We are from the west coast and recently moved out east. We were thankful to find a quality place for Thai food! We have ordered the following dishes and they were all superb: pineapple fried rice, panang curry, pad Thai, pad kae mow. The curry sauce was not quite as thick as I would have expected but delicious nonetheless. read more

Fantastic Thai. Was impressed with the lunch special offerings. Delicious. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Hands down the best Thai food around! I eat here frequently with coworkers and typically get drunken noodles.....the best ever. Staff is very friendly and they really get to know their customers. Just an overall grand experience! read more

This is only my third Thai restaurant, but I'm in love. It came highly recommended gy a friend, so I decided to stop tonight. I got the beef satay and Goong Sam Rod. I thought it was supposed to be spicy, but apparently not. Next time I will ask them to spice it up for me. Food was delicious, prices reasonable and service fantastic. I thought it was very slow for a Saturday night, but considering that both the President and Vice President were in town and half the streets were shut down, I understand. After reading the reviews, I will have to try the drunken noodles. Much better than Thai Thai in Wilkes Barre. read more

The staff is so sweet! Even though they forgot my boyfriend's brown rice (extra cost), we couldn't stay mad at them. They also gave us free ice cream to make up for it. The food was pretty good too. read more

Great Thai food. I had the Pad Thai with chicken. It was delicious. My only complaint is that it was slightly dry. Other than that. The flavors were great and I highly recommend the Thai Bubble Tea. read more

Good pad Thai Good noodles. A little pricey which took a star from them. They were fast and punctual. I'd recommend them but a little sticker shock read more

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants, and the food is amazing. I love the atmosphere and environment although it's a little difficult to find parking. The appetizers are good for my experience and the entrees are to die for. I have dined in and taken out from this restaurant, and both experiences have been good. I have not personally gone to this restaurant for my birthday or anyone in my party's birthday, but I have seen other people have birthdays and it seems like a really good place to go to celebrate. Additionally, try the bubble tea! read more

We had such great service and three amazing entrees, panang curry, pad pak,and pad Thai, that we all shared! We also loved the mango juice and coconut juice! Everything was presented beautifully, even the straw flower in our drinks! We will definitely come back when we are in town! read more

AMAZING Food, BYOB, Super nice staff. I often go here for celebrations of events. They happily accommodate large parties and with it being BYOB everyone can bring what they would like to drink. I'm partial to the Pad Prik King and the Penang Curry. The appetizers can leave something to be desired but still have to give this place 5 stars. If you go on your birthday get ready for a surprise. read more

Simply delicious! Drunken noodles...spring rolls, dumplings and fried pockets of yummy...recommend...will order again!

Had a wonderful dinner here last night. Our group shared 4 entrees to try a bunch of different items. Great service and food. They do not serve alcohol but allow you to bring it in. There is a market down the block to pick up something on your way. We will definitely be back when in Scranton. read more

My favorite restaurant in town. The food is PHENOMENAL and the service is somehow even better. The people here are charismatic, kind and joyful! They provide such a wonderful culinary and charming experience. What can I say--I love the vibes here. My favorites? the red curry and drunken noodle. Could eat these dishes the rest of my life! read more

Their entree is yummy. Service is good. If someone is birthday, their employee will celebrate to you, they turn off the light and sing a birthday song and give you a cake. Intimate service their. read more

This food was great, and the service was also quick and friendly. I was with a group of 4 and they were able to accommodate us at a table immediately. I ordered the Yellow Curry with Chicken, rice, and a side of fried bread. Delicious! The others with me ordered the Red Curry with chicken, rice, and sides of bread and one ordered a veggie plate with fish that was heaping with fresh looking veggies and avocado. No one had much left on their plates. I will definitely be eating here again, and I'm very excited to try some of the Pad Thai. read more

Thai Food is one of those amazing flavor experiences of a life time, once you are hooked you are done, once a place disappoints you they are done, as far as you being a customer! Like all the Thai Places in this part of the country, this is one is geared to American tastes and they lack a lot of the ingredients that make good Thai! One cannot say that the ingredients are NOT available, if nothing else you can find them all on Main St. in the Providence Section of Scranton. My Measure of a Thai Place is the Tom Yum Goong ( Spicy Sweet Shrimp Soup). This place left out some of the Basic Thai Ingredients and replaced them with cheaper American substitutes! One could say I am spoiled since my first experiences in Thai food were made in Thailand itself many years ago. Since I can get all the ingredients locally and cheaply, and make it at Home, why go out to food that lets you down. I am not Thai or Asian, because making it at home is very labor intensive I would rather go out to get it, but every place in or around Scranton, including this is one has left my Empty! A final thought: if you don't see Thai people eating there, it may be good food, but its not good Thai food! read more

Amazing food! You can get as hot as you want, says an Indian! Everyone one of us loved all the dishes we ordered. We also ordered for take away because this place was on our back from trip, and we'd probably not get another chance to dine here. Fried ice cream is to die for! They will surprise you on your birthday if you visit. Just have someone slip that information for you read more

This restaurant is named the best Thai food in 2016 , I think it should also be for 2017. My lunch there is very delicious located in Sranton. Will come again. Thank you guys , great service. read more

Wonderful Thai food. The Tom Yum soup my favorite. The man (owner?) is fantastic and happy to cater to my love of supper spicy. The curries, though thin, are full of flavor. The prices are so reasonable and they don't close midday which is good for me because I don't get to lunch til 3 or so. I hear they now deliver. Only problem closed Sunday when I always crave spice!! read more
