Very nice ladies who own/work here. The food is always spot on. I like that you get a salad with your dinner, the dressing is delicious. They do now accept credit cards too which is so much easier for me because I never carry cash. read more

Best and most authentic Thai food in Redding hands down. I like the small, quiet, family atmosphere and there's hardly ever anyone in there (which is crazy) but that makes sense considering it's a little hidden(go find it!!). The food is fresh, delicious and very consistent. None of that greasy, sweet, super Americanized Thai food. Although if that's what you are used to, there are definitely some familiar dishes that you will love. My favorites so far: duck fried rice, silver noodle salad, any of the noodle soup bowls, spicy cat fish w/ green beans, mango sticky rice (duh). I could eat here every day. read more

Compared to some of the other Thai restaurants in town, they are pricey. I prefer going to Rose Garden across the way. Most bang for the buck and so far from previous experience, more flavor. It's been a few years at Racha for me tho. read more

Pad kee mao was really good! Spring rolls were delicious! I think this place is better than champa garden, which was the Thai go to. Only 4 stars because to order and communicate with the staff is very difficult due to the langue barrier. The food was really good though!!! read more

These wonderful sisters know how to cook. I have been enjoying the Racha Noodle for several years now and have never been disappointed. Their variety of meals and their service is wonderful .Every meal tastes great and they are cooked individually which makes them very fresh and tasty. The sisters are very sweet and friendly and keep the place clean and it's comfortable too.Their location is a little hidden away on Market St. but that's okay by me as it is more peaceful , unique and more attention for us. My only worry is that they someday could move away but I would have to follow them as they are my favorite restaurant in town. Love the spring rolls. the salad with homemade dressing, the silver noodle dish with shrimp, and the yellow curry salmon with spinach and zuchinni are just some of my favorites. Absolutely love the mango with sweet rice for dessert. Love ya Racha Sisters!!! Keep on doing what your doing!!! My family and friends love all you do and my 85 yr old uncle does too. Please do not move away. I would be so sad!!! Appreciatively and Sincerely, Janice and family Your awesome!!!!! By the way they take credit and debit cards now not just cash anymore!!!!!! read more

Racha Noodle - My girlfriend and I enjoying another wonderful lunch at the Racha Noodle. - Noodles Near Me - Redding, California

This is the 2nd occasion that my dish has added or substituted ingredients that were different then showed on the menu and picture. The place needs a refurbishing. How in the world didn't they have sticky rice? Last time I ordered over the phone, they had to check if they even had any. I would reccomend Thai Hut over this place. read more

I went here for dinner tonight since the next closest Thai food place, Rose Garden down the street where I normally go was closed. Unfortunately this wasn't the best experience. I waited 15-20 minutes before the only server even acknowledged that I was sitting there even after helping customers who came in after me. During this time I had to go find a menu on my own. After looking at the menu I decided on the Pad Se Eew and a Thai iced tea. When the food finally came it didn't look fresh like I'm accustomed, but none the less it still looked edible. The flavor was a bit bland but not bad, again just not well developed like some other local thai restaurants (Champa Garden and Rose Garden specifically). The tea was however very good. Upon finishing my meal again I had to track down the only server who seemed to be busy in the back. Price was fair but lack of service, very unappealing decor (dated and dirty) and somewhat mediocre flavors, I doubt I'll be going back. read more

Racha Noodle - Pad Se Eew - Noodles Near Me - Redding, California

Seafood noodle soup and beef pho were both delicious. It hit the spot on a chilly December night.

Glad I found you ! Fantastic fresh food and Tie to Bragg about I'll be back .awesome pad tie

The best kept SECRET in Redding. This place has the most authentic Thai and Viet food around. Prepared by Authentic people. Pleasent atmosphere. Kind and friendly. Everything I have ever had here is beyond delicious! Eat there. Take it home. Try at least 3 things each time. The menu has pictures. They gladly answer questions, make suggestions. Like the heat. Do you want it Thai hot? Well, they customize your order. Children are quite welcome. Don't miss it. It's at Market Street and 273. Just before the Good News Rescue Mission, heading Southbound on the 273. Heading Northbound it's just before Cypress Avenue. It's right across from the brand new Thai Restaurant that long ago was a Asian Market. There's an Asian Market right next to Racha Noodle. There's a really tasty coconut milk drink, try it! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Can't get enough of it. read more

I was surprised to find that the Pho was really quite authentic. I read some other review that seemed to ding it for using tripe and tendon, but that's like dinging a sushi place because they don't have any cooked sushi items... The broth was quite tasty and rich, and with the exception of sliced jalapeño all the usual sides were there. I'd say it was comparable to a pretty good south bay Pho. My wife had the pad thai which was decent. Cash only. read more

I love this place!!! They cater to my daughter have since she was 12 months. I love the lady's here and everything you order is amazing. You can't go wrong with racha noodle!!! Enjoy read more

If I were rating for food alone in would consider adding a star. I really like the food. Pros: price, Pad Thai, Cashew Nut Chicken and the basil chicken, the fresh spring rolls (seriously try these!). Cons: the location is super skeezy, they don't accept credit cards and if they are busy the service lacks slightly. read more

CASH ONLY!!!! Fortunately, the prices were reasonable considering the food is pretty good. But service is a hit and miss. Nice ladies, but not very attentive considering when I went the restaurant wasn't crowded. And when we asked, we got a bowl, but nothing to carry the take-out container. So there are pros that balance out the cons, so o speak, hence I can only give it 3 stars read more

Terrible Thai food, I have had some that was bad but omg this was the worst I have ever had and I was charged extra because it was to go??!! Coming from a town that had some of the best ever I know finding good will be a challenge :( read more

How does this place only have 3 1/2 stars?! Everything that my girlfriends ordered at the table was delicious! Out of all the Thai places I have tried in Redding so far, this one was my favorite. Kudos. read more

I'm a huge Thai food fan... That said - I've had better but this was decent food for a decent price. I had the chicken Pad See Ew. Service was good. Just be aware - they don't take credit cards. read more

Most people seem to like or hate this place. I seem to have a very lukewarm feeling about it. The food is pretty good and definitely a great value. If you're a pathological spice fiend like me, you can always find Sriracha or garlic chili paste at your disposal which is a big plus. It seems like it is a family owned and run establishment. I know they read their Yelp reviews because they print them out and stick them inside the menu. I thought that was great! As most people pointed out before me, the ambiance isn't that great. But I didn't go there for the ambiance. There are two reasons this restaurant currently does not get a higher rating from me. 1.) It is CASH ONLY - They have a sign that says that this keeps their prices down. I have run businesses with credit card transactions before. The fees you pay for cards are ridiculous. I get it. However, this is one of the only restaurants in the western hemisphere that doesn't take plastic. Restaurant owners: Cash only does not keep your prices as low as if you had higher customer demand. People don't carry cash anymore. I have to mentally prepare to go to your restaurant. I would suggest using credit cards for a few months and reevaluating your business after you make the change. I think you will see a lot more currently "would be" customers. 2.) The food, though good, and correctly portioned, could be a little more exciting. read more

Probably the only great restaurant for vegans in Redding. When I asked for a couple tofu dishes they even asked if I wanted egg in it. The women who run it are so sweet, and I like that the kitchen is open and you can look right in. The menu is fairly extensive with a little bit of everything, and the parking lot is easy to get in and out of. Best boba in Redding! read more

I can only speak for the kow soi here as that is what my husband and I come here exclusively for. It is that good! The broth is super flavorful and perfectly spicy. Just enough to make your nose run a little but not burn your tastebuds off. I left off a star only because location is not our favorite and the inside is lacking a bit. Along with the restroom. read more

Racha Noodle is a small, unadorned hole-in-the-wall that serves great Thai food with a very friendly and quick staff. I agree that the menu is unorganized with a hodgepodge of dishes randomly placed throughout, but I though it was amusing that the menu also included a printout of some of the Yelp reviews of their restaurant (Yay, someone actually read these things!) As for the food, I got the red curry w/ chicken and my mom got their ginormous bowl of pho, which is basically a bowl of hot broth and rice noodles, a choice of meat, and a little side plate of bean sprouts and lime slices. We also ordered one of their boba tea drinks. After trying some of my mom's pho, I wished I had ordered it myself. The flavors were comforting and delicious and my mom finished her bowl clean. The red curry had good flavor and came with a nice size of rice on the side, but I didn't like how thin the consistency was and the big, long strips of chicken in the curry that made it hard to eat. I also wished they gave more bamboo shoots and veggies, Everything was inexpensive (I think the curry was around $7) and the menu had a lot of dishes I would still love to try. Their boba teas are fantastic! But as for curry, I still prefer the Thai Cafe for their portion and flavor, and because nothing beats their Evil Prince, which also comes w/ an egg roll. However, Racha Noodles' still has delicious food, a warm staff, and quick service so I will definitely come back (I have my eye on that pho and fried curry puffs!) and will recommend this place to anyone willing to try something new in Redding! read more

I've only been here once, so perhaps my experience was worse than average. I was excited to have my first real Vietnamese noodles in months, and when I found out they served boba teas I was even more excited. However, even though I told my server three times I wanted a thai iced tea with pearls, he gave me an iced coffee, no pearls. Also, the food was relatively inexpensive, but I've had much better Thai and Vietnamese food. Redding is a big enough town on I-5 that being the only noodle house is no excuse for mediocre noodles. read more

This place has always been my favorite Thai restaurant in Redding. The food has not disappoint yet and I've been coming here since they first switched owners to the nice ladies you see working there. Sure, the place could use a bit of remodeling and decor, but the food and service makes up for it. The workers here are super respectful and are always smiling. I usually order Tom Yum noodles with large noodles and occasionally their pad-sa-ew. Both very delicious and flavorful dishes. If you have a pallet for spicy foods, you can order the plate as spicy as you want, if not then simply tell them no heat, no problem. Yes, they are a dollar or two more than other Thai places in Redding, but I am usually more than willing to pay for the price for quality and great service over bland quantity and shitty service. One last thing, be prepared to pay with cash because they don't take anything else. read more

This is definitely a diamond in the rough!! We stayed overnight in Redding on a road trip back north and I was not expecting much at all when we walked in. I was craving Thai food and figured something was better than nothing. How wrong I was!! The secret to finding a good Thai restaurant is all in the noodles. The flavors in the soup broth, how it's prepared, the texture, is it soft but still firm enough not fall off your chopstick? Everything was RIGHT about the noodles at Racha Noodle. Five stars for their Boat Noodle Soup. It reminded me of the noodles right off the boats in Thailand. I highly recommended this restaurant to anyone living in the area or passing through Redding. Great homemade Thai desserts too! read more

3 stars for a healthy and tasty meal though quality and portions declined recently. . 0 stars for ambiance and dining room - I don't expect find dining decor but a clean table doesn't seem too much to ask for . Take out is quick and reasonable but packed in styrofoam - not good for anybody. read more

I am going to keep this short because that is all that is needed. If you don't like this place, something is sincerely wrong with you. :) The food is fabulous! read more

On one of my many business trips to Redding, I searched for a Thai restaurant within proximity to my hotel. Initially, I headed to Kanya Thai but they were closed for a private party - so I decided to go to Racha. I wasn't impressed with the food nor the service. Oh, BTW... It would definitely be nice if there was a sign up that states CASH ONLY. read more

I love Racha noodle it is so delicious. I always get their red curry and it pleases every time. The vegetables are nice and fresh and the service is consistently prompt. Their mango sweet rice is very tasty as well. I cannot stray away from these items. I will always be coming here. read more

The food wasn't very good and the restaurant itself was very dirty. Throughout my dining experience it was very hot and I had numerous flies flying around me and landing on my food and drink. Waitress was nice but I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

My favorite place on Redding for Thai. Always consistent with fresh ingredients. Great Pho, and the silver noodle salad is amazing. Haven't been disappointed with anything I have tried. Bring cash or check they do not take cards. read more

Delicious fresh food. We eat here often and never disappointed. My favorite is the cashew chicken medium spicy. It comes with perfect rice. The soups are great to! The service is great and fast! read more

Don't order pho at a Thai food restaurant. Saying "Thai spicy" when ordering doesn't make your food spicy. Duck curry had good duck and good flavor after a spoonful of chili flake, but was pretty watery. Service is non existent. Parking sucks. Bring cash. read more

This place is a gem. Authentic, delicious Thai food, and nice folks that run the place. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious but the Khao soi beef has a special place in my heart (and tummy), it's a must have every time I come to Redding. Sometimes my boyfriend and I even come here multiple times during a visit! Honestly, in my opinion it's one of the better places to eat in this town. I highly recommend it! read more

Love this place, my favorite Thai food in town! I've only gone in for lunch, everything is always fresh. I've also ordered take out too, food is always ready when they say it will be. They have always been friendly, quick and attentive. My husband loves the number 19 soup and I love their yellow curry and their Cucumber salad! read more

We went for lunch. Very tasty! Good prices. Gentle, considerate family place. Returned a different day for dinner. Excellent flavors and preparation. Highly recommend. read more

Racha Noodle is awesome. They have a small, family run, simple restaurant with excellent food. They do not accept credit cards at their downtown Redding location, which is my only complaint...I would go there more if they did. They have pictures of everything on their menu to help with ordering if you arent familiar with Thai. There is an Asian market next door, so they get awesome quality ingredients from there. There isn't another Thai restaurant that can beat their Mango Sticky Rice. I crave it! Pad Thai and crispy spring rolls are fantastic. Good prices, nice service, family fun and authentic EXCELLENT Thai. One of the top 3 restaurants in Redding for sure. They now have another location on Dana Drive that is the old TCBY...good location and they do accept credit cards there. I would say the food at Racha Noodle is better though. Love Racha and cant wait til my next visit. Hard to find Thai food any better than this place. read more

After many years, I agree with "it's like eating in a large family kitchen in Thailand". It's Not a fast sloppy food joint, come prepared to enjoy the atmosphere with the Thai Ladies who own and operate this great Thai eatery in Redding. read more

If you want Thai food in Redding, this is where you should go. I really enjoy the red curry and thai iced tea. The husband loves the green curry. The servers are very nice and the ladies that own it are always very friendly. We've tried other places for Thai in Redding, but this is the best. read more

I LOVE this place. The fresh rolls are amazing and the green curry is the best in town. I also love their basil chicken and ginger chicken. The Sisters who run it are so sweet and friendly. Atmosphere isn't the greatest, but the good food is worth it. I like to end with the tapioca or mango sticky rice. read more

Fresh, complex and balanced flavors. Hit all the high points of the sweet, salty, spicy and savory with hints of mint and lemongrass. I had the Name Kai, Panang Kai and fresh spring rolls. These were the best meals I have had since I was in Thailand and Vietnam a few months ago. The service was on-point, fast and friendly. I did not expect this level of authentic southeast Asian food in Redding. I won't visit Redding again without visiting this restaurant. The portions were quite generous as well. read more
