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.

Love this Thai place! My fav in the Scranton area. Eveything I've had on the menu is awesome. Staff is really friendly. The TomYum soup and the duck salad are amazing. All the regular stuff is good too like pad thai, pad see ew, drunken and the fried rice of course... read more

We are still pretty new to the area, but so far this is one of our favorite spots in Scranton. The staff is super friendly; you can tell that they really value your business. If you want something that is not on the menu, just ask if they are able to make it. Sometimes they can POSITIVES: - great food (you can tell them how spicy you want it by a 1-5) - affordable pricing - clean environment NEGATIVES: - they do not serve Pho read more

I started coming here for lunches and let me say that this is one of the best place around to get a bubble tea. The tapioca is so chewy while the drink itself is smooth. Their fried rice is also pretty nice my only complain is probably when editing the food. I once asked for less salt in my drunken noodle, oh boy were those drunken noodle so salty the first time I tried them. Rather than just being your usual spicy drunken noodle with manageable salt level, it was sweet? This is not the first time they have gotten my order wrong but it was never this bad that I can't eat the food at all. read more

Great authentic Thai restaurant in downtown Scranton. The rather dilapidated exterior adds to its hole-in-the-wall credibility, and the portion sizes are very generous. Only detraction I've experienced is the street parking in downtown Scranton, which is a mess. read more

Scranton visitor always happy to seek out Thai food. And I know good Thai food! This was among the best. Our party of five sampled the length and breadth of the menu and we all enjoyed the results. Best part was the fun and friendly staff. If you like good Thai, you will enjoy this place. read more

Thai Rak Thai is one of my favorite places to eat in downtown Scranton. The staff is tremendously kind and customer oriented. I consider this place a diamond in the rough. The inside is very clean and beautiful while the outside could fool you. Food is delicious and authentic. The atmosphere is great! Highly recommended! read more

Ordered take out from this place while in town on business. Good curry and papaya salad. Great Thai coffee. Fast and cheap! What more could you ask for? Only 4 stars because though good, I have had better. But I will be ordering again before I head out of town. read more

4 stars is a stretch. No beer. The rice was HORRIBLE. M wife's drunken noodles we great. My duck was fatty and pretty much sucked. Customer service was great. The Thai fried chicken had great sauce but the wings weren't seasoned AT ALL. if you rate this place above 3 stars u need to try to branch out a bit. read more

The food is always great, and service very friendly. BYOB is also a big plus. Bonus: go on your birthday for the most unforgettable restaurant birthday celebration you've ever received! Made my year read more

I usually avoid ethnic restaurants in small towns, but a friend wanted to meet us there and we went. The food is excellent and the staff is always ready to serve and watching for your needs. I love the chicken in peanut sauce and order it every time I go. We eat here every time we visit the area. Highly recommended. read more

Drunken Noodles with Shrimp. Spicy! That is all. Not a huge fan of the decor in here, but its downtown Scranton. Also, the Lemon Grass soup was bery good. Definately one of the better Thai places in Scranton area. Im from CA, and am always sure to stop for a bite here whilst in town. read more

Great service. Food was accurately spiced to level requested (I got 5 out of 5 and my coworker got 4/5) and very flavorful. Came out promptly and hot. I will be back. read more

Honestly the best Thai food I've ever had! I did take out and everything was ready in under 15 minutes (so fast!). The meal over delivered in all aspects - taste, temperature, portion, TASTE! I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the Scranton area. read more

Best Thai restaurant in NEPA. always consistent and great service. If I lived closer I would be there daily. Many great choices. I have been going there over 10 years and always always leave satisfied (and usually with takeout for next day). read more

I was in Scranton for business 1 night and was fortunate to find this gem via Yelp! My wife is Thai, so I'm very familiar with Thai food. This place was excellent! I ordered the Basil Chicken and had them customize it for me the way I like it, which they were more than happy to do. I got "American Spicy" (3 on a 1-5 scale) and it was just right. Somebody was having a birthday party there and they sang a Thai version of Happy Birthday. It was very entertaining. The staff were fantastic all around! I highly recommend this place!! read more

Greeted at door. Very nice server. Spring rolls were good. We also had pad Thai and green curry. Both were good. Not the best Thai food I have had. Though I'd return. It was good food. Also. Clean restaurant. And good bubble tea. BYOB. read more

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I had the drunken noodles my gf had the pad Thai. Both were delicious. Extremely cheap and fantastic lunch. Can't wait to try dinner! read more

One of Scranton's gems. You have to go here for your birthday to get the disco treatment. Great food, great staff. Spice level can be a little inconsistent but that's what the spice tray is for. BYOB. read more

Always a great meal. Good service no matter how busy. One of the best things about Scranton. Pad Thai is a must.

Great place and excellent service, Sue was really nice. The food was excellent the salmon with coconut sauce was to die for.

Repeat customer. 99% of the time everything is perfect. The one% of the time everything is damn near perfect. Crispy Spicy Duck, #5 spicy, is my go-to meal but I switch it up on occasion. The Thai iced tea is delicious and the mango sticky rice for dessert..there's no better way to end a meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Try to have an empty glass of water, I dare you. As soon as you put it down somebody is filling it up. Go there. You will not regret it! read more

Love this place!! We have been here several times and each time the food has been great and the prices reasonable. In fact last night the 3 of us ate for less than $60 (including apps and dinners and a side). The curries are delicious- esp. the red- and nicely spicy. We also had the drunken noodles with pork which were also great. I highly recommend the Larb. It's a small plate that you can order as an appetizer that is cold, cooked ground chicken (or beef). The meat is lightly sweet and spicy. It's delicious. The only small knock is the service. It's so-so but only because there are too few people covering the restaurant. Love this place! read more

i approve of this place. the food was excellent and the service was attentive, but not overbearing. i took Colin's advice and got the drunken noodles, and was impressed. also ordered it reasonably spicy (4 out of 5) and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually really spicy (some thai places assume that we caucasians can't handle heat.) also the tom kha gai soup was on point. overall, it was a great meal...so much that i'll likely be going back here before i leave next week. read more

I love their food it's always great and amazing. Their bubble tea isn't always on the mark though :-(

AMAZING!!!!! I'm picky when it comes to my Thai food, and have only settled for the best. This is just as good as upscale NYC Thai food. The only downside is they don't have a bar, but it's byob. The pad Thai is mouth watering, as is the pad see ew! Love this place :) read more

I have eaten here many times, the red curry is excellent. The atmosphere is festive and comfortable. This is a BYOB establishment. The staff works to keep you happy , even during the hectic busy times. I've never been disappointed. read more

This place deserves all the high praises by the many who's reviewed this place. The staff are very nice and accomodating. The food is very good and satisfying. And the prices are just right. No complaints here. I would definitely be back again! read more

See all

Very Very awesome restaurant ! Great and fast service! Wonderful flavorful menu! I love this place and the staff! Katyln is my favorite server! She is always smiling and happy to see me and my sister. :). Try the seafood fried rice and Thai Dumplings read more

I'm from California and maybe I have higher standards but I had a horrible experience here. I ordered Panang curry with duck...they served the curry on a plate so I barely got any and the duck was very dry and flavorless! I was hungry and barely had curry and couldn't eat any of the duck!! On top of all that that made me pay for the duck I didn't even eat!! I can't recommend this place to anyone! read more

The absolute best food. I went to lunch with my nephew there for the first time and i will definitely be heading back. Cheap lunch menu, amazing staff and the food was amazing. Going to soon check out the dinner menu read more

Friendly. Welcoming. Delicious. Fragrant. Awesome. Eat there and you won't regret it!!!

I was at Thai Rak Thai over the weekend and I must say, what a GEM! This is my second time there and I was blown away with their papaya salad (spicy please) and amazing moist pad thai with shrimp, perfect balance of sweet, sour and little spicy! The noodles were perfectly cooked and must say, it's been one of the best thai meals i have had, keep it up! Staff was friendly and efficient and food was served hot which I appreciate that, kudos!!!! read more

I love this place! The pad Thai is always great. For an added treat, tell them it's your birthday.

Mediocre food, and the service was just ok. Also took a long time for lunch with coworkers. We went once and haven't been back.

Nice place. We usually stop here last minute when shopping in Scranton or Dickson City. We bring a bottle of wine. Pad Thai, drunken noodles, it's all good. Wait staff pretty attentive and friendly. Brought a friend who lived in Thailand for a few years. he spoke a little Thai too. We had a great time. he said it was pretty authentic. read more

My wife and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food here. Wait staff was professional and accommodating, and plenty of vegetarian options for my wife! read more

Excellent service, excellent food. I've been twice now, and got duck dishes both times. It's cooked really well, and the dishes themselves are so full of flavor. Huge portion sizes and appetizers are great too. read more

Had lunch here yesterday as I was passing through Scranton. Very good curry puff, just like how it is made in Southeast Asia. Dip of vinegar mixed with some honey for sweetness made this appetizer sublime. Also ordered shrimp pad thai with spice level of three. Well cooked noodles with just the right amount of sauce. Overall, a solid place for Thai food. Too bad we don't live in the area. read more
