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

The calamari was very good, and I got drunken noodles (which are rated as spicey) but asked for level 1 intensity. It was tough to eat it cos it was still pretty spicey. They also don't serve milk, so it was tough to find out what I could eat to cancel out the spice. I ended up getting some steamed rice and mixed it in with the noodles which made it a lot more tolerable. Overall a good meal and not expensive. read more

Wow! Who would've thought that I'd find an authentic Thai restaurant here in the city of Scranton!? Fantastic specials, authentic flavors, diverse menu. We followed our friends on Yelp to this Thai gem, that actually has Thai staff! We will return whenever we are back in the area! 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

I love this place .. my husband and I went here on our first date and now return for many special occasions. You must try the pad thai and drunken noodles. read more

Ah-mazing! Our meal was so delicious, I would definitely frequent here if I lived closer! We had the pleasure of wishing another patron a happy birthday and it was such a joy to see the disco ball going and the music blasting! So fun! read more

Wonderful, wonderful service. I would actually rate this place at about 3.5 stars, but decided to round up simply because I haven't tried enough of their (sizable) menu to make an accurate judgement. Downsides are that the dishes are on the pricy side for moderately small portions, and the food seems to be a bit hit and miss -- the seafood wasn't great (wasn't terrible either, though), but their Pad Prik King was fabulous! Their Pad Prik King was different from Pad Prik King dishes I've had at other Thai restaurants, and different in a good way -- spicy and savory with the familiar undercurrent of coconut. I would definitely come here again for a go at another of their dishes. read more

Having been on both sides of the coin, I understand that restaurants sometimes become busy, and that overwhelmed servers need to take a break every so often. However, I have to say that I was disappointed with my most recent experience here. The food was excellent as usual, but we sat for 45 minutes after finishing our meal and eventually had to flag a server down to get our check. Were we in a rush? No. Did we mind hanging out? No. But 45 minutes without even a brief checkup is not acceptable. We weren't asked if we wanted dessert. Also, although we exceeded it, we were told that there was a $15 minimum to use plastic (this practice is not allowed by Visa). This is not a very large restaurant. Having two parties of 10+ is not an excuse. What happened to all of the servers? 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

The food itself is 4 stars. The waitress however seems rushed and robotized. But what disappointed us the most was 2 things 1) we ordered a drunken noodle and asked for extra veggies in it. They said $3 charge. Whatever. Food came out, about 3 pieces broccoli 2 carrots and that was with the EXTRA veggies. So I couldn't imagine what the meal looked like without extra veggies definitely wouldn't have been hardy and probably just noodles! 2) I like to eat healthy, I like browns rice. So for 4 orders brown rice to be on the healthier side.... They bring out the jasmine rice that comes with meal and add the brown rices as $2.50 side. What a price to pay to be healthier. So now I have a dish included with the meal of white rice that I simply DO NOT EAT and will be wasted food (shame) as I pay another $10 (coulda got entire bag of rice with that) just so we could enjoy some simple undercooked brown rice in replace of the white rice. $10 is petty but what an annoyance of how they just ripped us. Healthier people have to sacrifice here read more

Delicious food, good service, nice decor. Was worried that Thai food in Scranton wouldn't be good but this was as good as any Thai rest I've been to in California. We ordered a variety of vegetarian plates: veggie spring rolls, green coconut curry with vegetables and tofu, pad thai with veggies, pad pak with veggies, pad see ew with broccoli, carrot. Every dish was executed properly. Lunch specials are super cheap, good portions. Came for dinner once as well, and prices were a bit higher than expected. I'd think for Scranton, the prices for all the entrees would be 2 to 3 dollars cheaper. But was happy with the food, decor and service so the price does not bother me. If I was from the area, this would be a place I'd come around once a week. read more

Authentic Thai food my @ss. The food was god-awful compared to the thai restaurants in Boston. The pad thai was bad, the pad see aew was bad, the curry was decent, but the lunch portion was miserably small and over priced. Not coming back, thai rak thai. read more

Amazing! The service was super friendly & timely. The food was delicious. My boys loved the chicken sate and my drunken noodles. My hubby got the yellow curry which was great. The frozen mango bubble tea was super yummy. My one son couldn't have it since he can't have dairy so they brought him mango juice. He was super happy! We all can't wait to go back there on our next road trip! read more

Ya will go back again, good service, friendly server, refill water glasses with out being asked A+, most place's you have to ask for water. Quick service, except, will tell you to call for a reservation, you will wait less. It seems to be very popular. If no reservation plan to wait. I will have to go again to check again! Food was good. Very busy on a saturday night. read more

We love this place. The server are always nice even if they sometimes get busy. It is BYOB if you are interested. Go early for bubble tea. My kids like the duck dishes but I love the drunken noodles and coconut soup. If you are lucky enough to go when it is someone's Birthday the birthday song is awesome! read more

Excellent combinations of authentic Thai food with a relaxing atmosphere. They often ruin specials, currently $10 gift cards for $8 when paying with cash. Their staff is attentive and appreciative. Good for fast lunch services or a romantic dinner. Either way the quality of the food and service exceeds their prices. read more

Lunchtime at Thai Rak Tai! Good food. Very attentive & speedy service. Excellent Vegetable Spring Rolls. I had Red Curry (mild) with Chicken. Adding a bit of soy & spice elevated the flavor of the dish from good to great. Excellent place for lunch. 9 people in our party & the food came out quickly & correctly! Will return. Recommend. read more

My experience with Thai Rak Thai took place during lunch. It wasn't terribly busy and we were quickly brought to a table by a waitress. The restaurant is team served so everything happens very quickly - no glass is without water for long. We were immediately served a small portion of salad with a peanut-based dressing - a nice surprise. It's nice to have little extras sometimes. The lunch menu was reasonably priced and I chose the Drunken Noodles (my default Thai plate). The lunch portion was about half the size of take out orders, but it was enough to fill me. Plate presentation was surprisingly creative and most of the orders I saw were thought-out. The dining area was very clean, and the decor was very Eastern (as one would assume) and comfortable. My experience was very pleasant. My only complaint was that my lunch felt very rushed. Everything moved very quickly and before I could think, it seemed, I was already walking out the door. read more

This is the best Thai food I have had to date. I am looking forward to traveling to back to.Scranton, and this is reason number one! Delicious lemongrass soup and awesome ginger peanut sauce! I LOVE THAI RAK THAI! read more

4 stars for the food. We had drunken noodles and the duck special. All was tasty and nicely presented. 1 extra star for the staff. Overall, we were seated/served by 4 very friendly people...each one nicer than the last. They seemed genuinely happy to provide a pleasant dining experience for everyone in the restaurant. BYOB is an added bonus. read more

Not as good as I expected. Staff was friendly and attentive. The menu is extensive and the space cozy. But the food was just ok, not bad, nut not good either. To me, just another average Asian restaurant. Nothing special. read more

Amazing Thai food! The drunken noodles are simply wonderful. Try the Thai salad for the best peanut dressing you'll ever have. Fabulous service and BYOB (no corking fee). The staff is super friendly and attentive. Prices very reasonable. read more

One of my top 3 restaurants in Scranton. Excellent fast service, amazing food, nice atmosphere, great bang for your buck & good location. My favorite items are- massamun curry, drunken noodles, thai salad, satay, sticky rice w mangos & thai pudding. Go when its a birthdAy- you will die of the fun singing routine :) read more

I feel sorry for those of you who dwelled only on the food here. You missed the boat. It's the experience and the energy the staff provides. I know it seems like they push the special. I had it last week when I visited. It's was the duck and it was amazing!!! Three different sauces on top of crispy and juicy meat cooked to perfection with red and green bell peppers broccoli carrots steam rice etc.. The hostess is genuinely concernd that u enjoy your selection. My girlfriend loved this place. The best however is the surprise you get if you tell them it's your birthday. read more

I've only been here I need and I ordered the pad thai, beef panang curry, and I can't remember the other dishes but it was very good. Full of taste and spices... and I'm all about the spices. Great little nook and cranny type of place or the so-called "Hole-In-The-Wall" but it was still felt like the food was made and prepared just like it was in your own home. read more

Wow if this is the best Thai food has to offer in Scranton, I'm done with Thai food. The service was definitely lacking except to constantly fill our water glasses without asking. The food was overpriced and came out at lukewarm. Remember never send your food back. I was still hungry after an appetizer and an entree. For the money I spent, I could've eaten Chinese for a couple days and been far more satisfied. Finally the worst of all, the constant turning off the lights, turning on a strobe light and singing Happy Birthday. read more

Great Thai restaurant in Scranton with awesome food and service. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. BYOB and inexpensive. Give a try you won't be disappointed.... read more

Authentic Thai food. Spiced perfectly. I had the ginger duck and would have it again. The wait staff were very attentive.

Tasty Thai food in Scranton. Pleasant surprise when I went there for lunch at a good price. I would go back

Another stop on our trip a little pricey but still a nice p!ace. Thai iced tea was yummy and overall, basic but straight forward thai. Would recommend. read more

service was decent. food was amazing. I got drunken noodles with chicken. spicy and delicious. would recommend and go back.

Fast, friendly service, large portions, and a disco ball to celebrate your birthday. What more can you ask for? A great downtown location makes this an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys Asian food. read more

They do a nice job with their food! It is seasoned well and delicious. However, that is often over-powered by their desire to turn over tables quickly. I understand that this is how a restaurant makes its money, but they would benefit from slowing down a little. I actually like the food, but really don't go because I don't like swallowing my meal with anxiety from being rushed. read more

Although the restaurant decor is tacky, they do serve great Thai food. Its probably the best food you could get around Scranton!! Drunk noodles, Pad Thai, Thai iced tea are my go-tos. While Thai Thai is just down the block, Thai Rak Thai has already won over locals heart with its flavor and service. read more

For Thai, it's the best I had while working in Scranton. Very good food. The only thing that was a negative was that they didn't have an alcohol license, so you'll have to bring your own drinks. Also, the food was a little bland and not spicy at all, even if you asked for it to be spicy. Overall though, it was a positive experience and a restaurant I would recommend. read more

I have only had better Thai food two times. And one was made by my sister-in-laws mother, who is from Thailand. I love this place. great dinner spot for a date. My girlfriend and i frequent this place. read more

I loved the yellow curry because it was made just the way I like it...with no pineapple!

Chicken Panang curry was $13 for the dinner portion. It was enough food for 2 meals. The Panang sauce was delicious! The medium heat was the perfect amount of spice with the sweetness of the peanut curry sauce. The hot tea was great. I feel that Thai iced tea is too sweet for me, so just having the hot tea was perfect. read more

On my way home from a weekend in Philadelphia I stopped here to have a quick bite. I'm glad I picked this place! The food was GREAT. I only had soup and "golden rings" (calamari) but from the looks of all the empty plates on other tables I get the hint it's all good. The calamari was perfect; the rings were not too thick (sometimes they can be gross) and there was just the right amount of panko. We don't have Thai around my house so I got a big soup to go, can't wait to enjoy it sometime this week! *also the staff is great, super friendly people* read more

BYOB, entertaining staff. Thai Rak Thai is a solid lunch/dinner option in Scranton.
