I was craving Thai food, especially chicken coconut soup (Tom Kha Ghai?) and this place didn't disappoint! Mmmmm! My friend and I drove to Rasa Thai after reading their glowing reviews, and I now understand why the place has such good reviews. Their chicken Pad Thai lunch special came with my choice of chicken satay, authentic peanut sauce and cucumber salad -- so worth the drive and the price! Yummm! I also ordered a bowl of the chicken coconut soup - it wasn't only delicious - the serving was generous, too! This soup alone would have satisfied my big craving for Thai food but I also got their chicken wings appetizer with their secret sauce (a hint of sweetness, garlic, tamarind and chili) perfect to dip their crunchiest chicken wings! My friend also loved her shrimp yellow curry lunch special that came with 2 pcs of shrimp egg rolls. I ate my leftover for dinner and I have enough food for lunch, and maybe dinner tomorrow. The place is bright, spacious and very clean inside. Lots of free parking just outside the door. It's located on the quiet side of Gregory Lane near Taylor Blvd in Pleasant Hilk. Service was fast. The young Asian male server was patient, very accommodating and friendly. More power to your business and thank you for a great lunch! read more

Recently remodeled; new owners (I think). This is the BEST Thai food I have eaten in a long time. Service is excellent; a vast menu to choose from; ingredients are fresh. Customer can ask for degree of spiciness. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

The restaurant looks small in the outside but is is deep and roomy on the inside. The bright color tables and chairs help the inside decor shine. Service was quick and attentative. As I came here for a dinner party with Abbess and the nuns from a monastery, everything was strictly vegetarian. The food was really good even though it was mainly tofu as the protein. The flavors were there in every appetizers, entree and dessert dishes!! Each dish was also enough to share with 4 to 5 people as well. We had plenty of leftovers to take home in the end. read more

One of the best Thai food in the Bay Area and I've have tried many places. We ordered their Pad Kee Mao, Pad See Ew, Pineapple Fried Rice, BBQ Chicken and Sukho Thai noodle soup. All had a deep flavor profile and you can tell it is made with skill and quality ingredients. Highly recommend! read more

Ok believe the hype! We came pretty late and they were not rude about the late seating. Super sweet server. Ordered Thai tea, Pumpkin Curry with chicken, and the Kanon Jeen Namya (fish ball curry noodle) both had the same color but different flavor profiles. Both were equally good. We will be back soon. Loved the music and the service. Whole atmosphere is great! read more

The food is wonderful. We had the red curry and found that if it's a bit spicy, they can add coconut milk to tone it down. Perfect! The pineapple fried rice was the best ever, and we enjoyed homemade lemonade which came with mint and a little flower. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is in a hidden area, but is very bright and sunny. We will be back. Highly recommended! read more

Came here on Mother's Day and had a pretty bad service experience. Got seated immediately and was told there was a 20 minute wait for the food since they were busy. That's fine with us, but nobody gave us a menu and after 10 minutes I had to go up myself. Another 20 minutes go by without anybody taking our order. We did finally get our food after 50 minutes total wait. We had to ask for things multiple times before getting anything. Service: 2 stars Food: 3.5 stars. Nothing special, but good portion sizes and decent taste. read more

Rasa Thai is a charming little place with I would say is pretty much standard menu for a Thai Place. Nothing inventive here just traditional Thai dishes Americans are used to like Pad Thai, pad see ew, chicken Satay, etc. They execute these standard dishes fairly well. I was a bit disappointed though they couldn't execute my favorite dish, a stir-fry mixed seafood. This dish would have several seafood like green mussels, calamari, prawns and perhaps scallops in fiery Thai chili sauce with mixed vegetables and fresh pepper corns. When I asked about it, however, they said they could only do a combo chicken and shrimp. I was confused as they do have baked mussels on the menu, so I am sure they could have added mussels to the dish. Nevertheless, what I had was tasty, just not what I really wanted. Thai restaurants are ubiquitous in the Bay Area, so there are many others like this one serving standard Thai dishes. The lack of inventive or special dishes here means there is no motivation for me to come back. read more

The food was fine, but service has a lot to improve on. We stood for a while before deciding to seat ourselves. Then it took a while for someone to bring us menus. It then took a while for someone to take our order. Then, the food came out, but our appetizer was the last to come out. My friend also had to ask twice to get his drink. read more

The food was delightful! We ordered curry, fried rice, roti, pad thai, and the grilled ribeye...with mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything was incredible, the ribeye was perfectly cooked and the mango was peefectly ripe. Also had their thai tea, it was really tasty! The restaurant was hot inside when we got there, not sure if they have AC and chose not to use it or if they don't have it, but it was uncomfortable till the sun went down...also had the sun in our eyes for that time frame, would recommend a curtain for the front door! The service was good, but a bit slow. I'm not sure if they have the staff to handle a lot of traffic, but I'm sure they are working through that since they only just opened a couple of weeks ago. They automatically charge gratuity for parties of 6 or more. We'll for sure be back, see you guys next time! read more

We came here for lunch on a week day for the first time. Restaurant is very clean and bright. We were seated quickly. Service was attentive. The menu has many selections to choose from.

it's like you're walking to the beaches of thailand! the colors, bright lights, and coconut trees really take you there. went to try rasa thai for the first time, and did a little bit of everything. - fried chicken wings with their secret sauce - roti with curry - som tum - grilled pork - pad thai everything was fresh and definitely hit that thai spot- sweet, tangy, savory. if you want some spice, definitely ask for "thai spicy" or "thai hot" when ordering your items!! they also offer lunch specials which are really nice. will be back to try more of their noodle soups and pad gra pow! read more

My friend and I came here for lunch today and it was worth the drive from Oakland. We ordered Pad Thai with shrimp, fried Tofu, Basil chicken with brown rice, and crunchy spring rolls. All the dishes were delivered hot and were delicious. A special shout out for the Pad Thai! We ordered the lunch special that included an entree and an appetizer, giving us the chance to taste a number of options while keeping the tab reasonable. And to top it off, the service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

This was our first time trying Rasa Thai. It is in a slightly out of the way location at the intersection of Gregory Lane and Pleasant Hill Road and tgeyvare waiting for their official sign. So it is a little hard to find, but it is worth looking for. The service was great, the place was light and airy with a hand painted mural on one wall. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. The portion sizes were bigger than I expected and the amount of protein was very generous. We got vegetarian spring rolls, Green Papaya Salad, Pad Thai, Pad see Yoo and Thai Iced Tea. Everything was delicious. I have been searching for a Thai restaurant that makes a good Papaya salad and Rasa's exceeded my expectations expectations. The Chef gave us a complimentary portion of sweet sticky rice with mango. It was SO GOOD!! We will definitely go back. read more

This a Thai very average. Food taste like generic Thai- they no have many spic and in curry no taste of the coconut. The ground chicken dish come out warm no hot. Price on special on because they give a nice amount but not specials over price. Soup was not very hot to. I would not come back to have this read more

Good selection of Thai dishes is offered, some not very common in other Thai restaurants. Flavors were authentic but somewhat on the milder side, perhaps to cater to Western palate. Service was good. Atmosphere was lively but not too noisy. Recommend rib-eye beef salad, baked mussels and crab fried rice. Go on the weekdays when it is less crowded for a nice, quiet dining experience. read more

The food is delicious! The service is friendly and food came to us quickly. A wonderful restaurant to enjoy Thai food!!!
