Rak: Modern Thai & Cocktails

Mariola Domagala 5 months ago

Never dined in but I order from here at least once a week. Food is delicious and consistent. Short ribs are my favorite (the sauce on the side is god)!!!, pineapple fried rice with shrimp, and the crab cheese nachos are fantastic for being imitation crab. Cream sauce should is delicious. They forget my papaya salad, here and there but it happens.

Located within the Downtown Farmer's Market on the main floor. Eclectic restaurant serving many Thai dishes and specialty drinks. Mixed reactions on the menu items: I enjoyed a Pineapple Fried Rice dish (with added shrimp) while my wife was disappointed with the short ribs, stating they were too bony and fatty. Since it is a Thai menu, you can choose your level of spiciness. There was live entertainment on our visit, who interacted with the audience, but also played low enough so we could carry on a conversation. High-top and regular table seating is available, and a full-sized bar offers both alcohol and "spirit-free" beverages.

⭐ Rak Thai at the Market — A Meal With High Highs, Low Lows, and Tons of Potential Rak Thai at the Market delivered a night full of flavor, personality, and a few execution hiccups that kept the experience from reaching its full potential. There’s a lot here to love—and even more that could shine with just a bit more refinement. 🥟 Starters Dumplings — 4.5/5 Delicious, well-seasoned, and satisfying. A strong start to the meal. Crab Rangoon — 4.8/5 Crispy, savory, and just the right amount of sweet. Nearly perfect and easily one of the standout bites of the night. 🍜 Main Dishes Pad Thai — 4.5/5 A peanut-forward version with bright, super-juicy lime wedges and a generous portion of cabbage served on the side—a detail I appreciated, since it let me add exactly as much as I wanted. The only drawback was the serving vessel: the portion was quite large and served on a plate rather than in a bowl, which made mixing everything together a bit awkward. Flavor-wise, though, it was solid and satisfying. Kimchi Fried Rice — 3/5 This one missed the mark. The initial smoky flavor was off-putting, and the dish lacked the tangy, pickled kimchi punch that gives it character. It needed more acidit

This space has undergone several iterations in the last ten years with the most recent being Rak. We came here on an impulse after seeing the Crab Cheese Nacho's and let me tell you - we did not regret it. The Crab Nachos are an amazing combination of sweet crab cream cheese with a sweet sauce and crab chunks over fried wonton chips. We also had the Bang Bang Shrimp and Crab Fried Rice. Everything was very flavorful and the staff very attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and bright with well appointed decor and furnishings with a modern flare. We will definitely be back to try more from the menu... The Ramen at the table next to use looked and smelled delicious, so I'm looking forward to that!

We came here during brunch time on a Saturday. There were plenty of seatings, so you shouldn’t have to worry about reserving a table. You are able to do so if you want to though. Food took a bit, but not too long. Everything was tasty. Crab fried rice, and the tofu volcano was my fav. The mango sticky rice was delicious.. Tasted like the actual dessert.The cheesecake was pretty good too. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a place to dine at the downtown market!
