Thai Rak Thai - Love how the celery is sliced! - Thai Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

This is place is authentically phenomenal Came to Scranton for a meeting, then went out with the group to this place. Let me.just say this was probably one of the best Thai places I have been. I had the red curry with shrimp - I took spice level 5 ( and it was a bit much, but I enjoyed it - u know that ooooo it burns oooo it tastes so good). Service is fast, and on point and the restaurant is clean. I will say if you go to Scranton you MUST go here for the best thai food you will ever have. read more

Pad thai was very tasty as was their drunken noodles with chicken. Pretty basic order for all they have to offer. We always enjoy the dumplings as well. Thai rak thai will always be in our take out rotation! read more

This was my first time visiting Scranton and we were looking for a good place to eat. Luckily we found Thai Raj Thai. The atmosphere was great - lively, but not overbearing, and the service was 10/10. We had the Pad Thai and the red coconut curry and both were delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Thai Rak Thai - Thai tea! 10/10 - Thai Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

First time here and food was absolutely amazing everything was prepared perfectly highly recommend your next Thai food should be from here. 5 Star read more

Delicious every time. The yellow curry is to die for. I haven't tried one thing I wouldn't want again. You must check it out!

Food was subpar. Crispy tofu was crispy on the outside, mostly water on the inside, so definitely not prepared correctly or came in frozen to be fried. Apps are overpriced for such small portions. $7 for 3 small flat pieces of beef on a skewer. Sad, I wanted to like them. read more

GreAt food and people, I come here and get lots of food for a great price. Wish they were open sunday!!

Amazing food. I came for the bubble tea and went back for the spring rolls. The food here in incredible. The chef also came to our table to make sure we loved everything, which we did. It's very clean, usually quiet during lunch and well worth deal with the shitshow of parking in downtown Scranton. Eat here, the peanut sauce is like crack. read more

Unless you like spicy food even when you ask and specifically ask for mild go or order here. Had to throw the food away because it was so spicy my kids couldn't eat anything and had to order elsewhere. Money down the drain because I guess they don't listen to what you order. So sad because we love Thai food. read more

I had pad thai and tom yum soup here. Salad appetizer was complementary. The peanut sauce on the salad is good. The soup is good. Pad thai is just okay, too oily for me. Service was fine. The thing I don't like the most is parking. You have to park on the street and pay for parking. It's hard to find parking as well. read more

Delicious Thai food and friendly service! My favorite is the curry puffs. I always add on a Thai boba tea nowadays.

Service was good. Ordered: 1. Yellow curry that was way too salty 2. Chicken pad thai that was way too salty and sweet 2. Pad kee mao that was salty Pricing for lunch was 6.95 for each of those meals. So, price was good. read more

Surprisingly there are quite a few Thai options around town, but this is our favorite. We just love it here! You cannot go wrong with anything...currys, pad Thai, drunken noodles, oh my! It's all so delicious, very reasonably priced, a decent amount of food and presented with details like carrots cut into flowers the girls love. They have lunch specials just under $7! Service is always with a smile and quick as we are usually headed to a show in town when we come here. They are all super friendly! The dressing on the Thai salad is TO DIE FOR! Try it! I buy some to go containers every time we are here. I couldn't understand exactly what he said was in it, but it is vegan (no fish sauce) and perfectly tangy! It's on the thicker side like a satay sauce but not! So, so good! BYOB Meter parking, free on Sunday! read more

I've been here multiple times and it never disappoints. I love the honesty and quirkiness of the waitresses. We asked our mom waitress to explain what curry was and what does she recommend since it was our first time and she asked how wwe do with hot food after back and forth she nicely told us we weren't ready for hot hahah. We had the yellow curry and it was delicious. Their drunken noodles are our go to, i love their pad Thai as well! Great place and service. read more

Let me preface this by admitting that I've been to three Thai restaurants in my life, Thai Rak Thai being one of them. I don't exactly hold myself up as an authority on the cuisine. That being said; I freaking LOVE Thai Rak Thai. The basics: service has always been super friendly, fast and quite accommodating. (Always warning people about spice levels of the food, for one thing) It's a clean, intimate little dining area. (Maybe a smidgen closed in, but that's what makes it intimate.) I love their food. Love it. I'm always trying new and awesome stuff here. The red curry. Great. Loooove the drunken noodles. Pad Thai, Panang curry, their house made spring rolls...I could go on and on. A little pricier than some other joints you could eat at, but worth every penny. One of the places that makes living in the Electric City worthwhile. read more

I have been an avid Thai Rak Thai diner since their commencement a few years ago and I have returned to order the same damn dish on almost every occasion!!! You may ask yourself, "What could possibly be that good and why not move on and try something different? Answer: two words- "DRUNKEN NOODLES" ( w/ chicken & medium spice)...Partly because I enjoy it so much, but mainly because most of the items on the menu are similar concoctions of this dish. This uniquely flavored meal is traditionally prepared with long flat rice noodles, cooked el diente, and stir fried with a delicious medley of red & green peppers, caramelized onions, fresh basil, chili oil, tomatoes, and seasoned to perfection with hints of garlic & ginger. The only downfall with Thai Rak Thai is BYOB. They've yet to obtain a liquor license, which may or may not be of your concern depending on how you get down ;-) ...The bonus is you can bring your favorite wine or drink to compliment these tasty dinners. My suggestion would be a light/crisp white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a Chardonnay. read more

My parents' suggestion, and I'm thinking with my elitist DC attitude, Thai in Scranton? We were pleasantly surprised. The place was packed on a Sunday night. The finacee said that this Thai was better than most of what we get in DC. While I wouldn't go quite that far I will say that I was very impressed. The Drunken Noodles and Kra Pow were my two personal favorites. The dumplings as appetizers were nothing spectacular but once we got into the entrees things really improved. It's BYOB which I actually kind of liked. It looked as if every table had their own ideas on this, some bringing 6 packs of beer and other bringing wine. We brought a bottle of white and immediately they put it on ice for us, a nice touch for a BYOB place. The decor is nothing much to look at, simple adornments, but the food is why we came and we were more than impressed. I'd come back again next time I'm up in the Electric City! read more

My mom and I were driving from New York City to Rochester when we came across this total gem. The food was delicious and, being from California, I have tasted great Thai food! I couldn't believe this place was in Scranton - we will definitely stop anytime we are driving through town! The drunken noodles are a must have along with their Thai red curry. The service was amazing and they brought us a complimentary appetizer and dessert just because! The prices can't be beat, the food is fresh and delicious, and the service is second to none. Do not miss this place!!! read more

Do not eat at this restaurant!!! My family and I ate there last night, February 19, 2022 and we all ended up with food poisoning. I should have guessed it would happen after we went to pick up our food and there was a weird smell in the restaurant. If I could give it zero stars I would......disgusting!!! read more

Once again I was pleasantly surprised by Scranton's offerings. Nice atmosphere (tablecloths, cloth napkins, and a flower vase on every table, albeit with artificial flowers, but still...) and quite the place to be on Thursday night. Fortunately we didn't have to wait, but almost all of the tables were filled. The spring rolls were tasty, not too heavy, and vegetarian. Cute presentation, too: 6 skinny rolls cut in half diagonally, arranged in a row and accompanied by sliced carrots and cabbage, with a light sauce. The Drunken Noodles dish with chicken was delicious: flat noodles, broccoli, peppers, onions, and white meat chicken in a really flavorful sauce. This dish had the "spicy" designation and I was told that medium is hot, whereas hot is "hot-hot." The medium didn't quite taste hot to me but I still really enjoyed it, both at the restaurant and as a midnight snack later on. My dining companion didn't want anything spicy whatsoever and can't eat nuts or corn. The waitress was very helpful about recommending something within these restrictions. The resulting dish consisted of chicken and veggies in a light ginger sauce that didn't look too exciting but was pretty flavorful nonetheless. The desserts looked good, but I was too full to partake. read more

I have had dinner here 5 times in two months while on business. I will not spend my money here again. They will charge you $2 more if you ask for extra basil on your drunken noodle dish. My coworker was charged $2 extra because she only wants carrots and onions on her chicken curry dish. I think that's insane. read more

Good Thai food is hard to find. Found this place on yelp during my travels. I could smell the spices and flavors as I walked up to the restaurant. Very good selection of thai dishes. No Singha beer, but byob. They had thai duck specials today, but I passed for some fiery green curry. I did ask for my dish 'thai' spicy - and they balked - but the server was very helpful, bringing over a tray of various hot peppers so I could spice it up. A few moments later I was sweating, sniffling and tears welling up in my eyes from the fire. One bonus about this restaurant is that they offer brown rice instead of white rice, albeit at a $2.50 charge. I finished up w/ the mango and sticky rice. The mango was decent and the coconut sticky rice was a good finish for the burning madness prior. I did notice a couple of other tables going heavy on the vegetarian fare as well. A definite stop over if I'm back in the Scranton area. read more

Great Pad Thai, Hawaiian rice and Drunken Noodles. They are a BYOB so don't forget your booze! The only annoying thing is the dumb phone. It rings so loud (and plays a song for a ringtone) that it scares me every time. It's obnoxious but laughable. read more

We love this place! The first time I ever went, I asked the waitress what I should order, and she recommended their drunken noodles-SO GOOD! If you don't love "heat," you can get a mild version-but I suggest you try them! The owners are incredibly sweet, the staff is always cleaning and smiling, it's our go to place for Thai food. We are Scrantonians, and it's a place we visit at least twice a month. I'm surprised by some of the reviews that call this place expensive or overpriced...we bring a bottle of wine, and our bill is never over $30.00 for two of us. read more

Passing through Scanton to get back to NYC stopped here via Yelp. Wow this place beats 90% of Thai places in NYC. My drunken noodles were perfect. I asked for super spicy and the waitress asked if I was sure. I usually douse any Thai meal with Siricha. I did not need a touch of hot sauce as my dish was perfectly spicy (made me sweat and at times want to cry). My dining companions were also all happy with their- Pad Thai, Green and Yellow Curries. read more

Their food is delicious and service is SO quick and always friendly! It's a local gem and I recommend it to everyone who visits the area. They accommodate large groups. BYOB. They have a little disco ball set up for birthdays and they make a good show of it when it's someone's birthday at the restaurant too. Their drunken noodles are just spicy enough and this is my go-to most of the time! Tomyum soup is a little too sweet for me, but it is creamy and tart, would recommend. Their red curry is pretty standard, I was actually not impressed given how good their other dishes are that I've tried so far. I haven't tried their other curries yet, so I would recommend trying your luck with the others. You can also ask for their red chili sauce if you feel that you could use more spice in your dish. They have bubble tea and thai iced tea along with other standard drinks. The only negative is that they're closed on Sundays unfortunately :( read more

Great place! If you want hot, ask them to make it "Thai hot and not American hot". Drunken noodles with chicken was very flavorful. Be sure to order Mango juice if you order it "Thai hot" to calm the flesh wounds from the heat. Good stuff! Waiter is funny too! read more

Overpriced Americanized Thai food. When I ordered the small portioned spicy papaya salad for $7.95, I was thoroughly disappointed. The salad was not spicy at all. It's unfortunate they advertise themselves as authentic when the food is obviously catered to the Scranton population-- white. When I ordered a small lemongrass-based soup for $5.95, I had to order rice on the side for an extra $2. Thai people don't have soup without rice, this is ridiculous. As for dessert, the mango with sticky rice is not worth the hefty $5.95 price tag. For that price I expected the mango to be ripe and sweet-- it was not. In addition the sticky rice seems like it was refrigerated then microwaved-- I could feel hot and cold spots. I was looking to be a regular at an authentic, fairly priced Asian restaurant. This will NOT be my spot. read more

Very good Thai food. Ate there 2 times in the last week. Would have given 5 stars but skin on duck could have been a little more crispy.

This place is really nice. The service was a tad slow but, very friendly. I have tried many things and enjoyed it all

Excellent place for authentic Thai cuisine. The pad thai and the drunken noodles are the 2 go to entrees if your undecided. The curries are excellent too. Probably one of the best thai restaurants in the United States. read more

I love Thai food! We ordered the massaman curry shrimp, spring rolls and Thai Tea. Overall, I enjoyed my meal; however, I wish the massaman curry came with more vegetables. It was served with potatoes, nuts, pineapples and few sprinkles of carrots. I guess I wanted some added color to the dish: broccoli, green beans, sweet potatoes...something. It was bland. The spring roll and Thai Tea were delicious. read more

I cannot begin to count the incredible experiences I have had here! The food is delicious (my personal favorite is the Veggie Fried Rice), reasonably priced and the service is usually outstanding!
