Admittedly not the most authentic of Thai cuisines, Racha is still a fantastic meal and a fairly good value. The restaurant is beautifully decorated to look like a Thai pagoda with light woods and artful carvings. The colorfully dressed waitstaff are friendly, responsive, and efficient. Having had many meals at Racha with friends over several years, I can happily report that not once has anyone not been extremely satisfied with their dish. This runs the full range of Racha's creative curries, to the cashew chicken, to my personal favorite, the Racha Special Noodles. I'm still trying to convince the waitstaff that I can handle true Thai spice; once I get my noodles as hot as I like them, I'll change my rating to perfect (I believe one should sweat from the spice when eating Thai food). Parking can be a tremendous pain on Lower Queen Anne which is Racha's only major drawback.
