Racha Noodle

Revelations by Esmeralda

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been going to Ratcha Noodle since October 2005 — I was 21 years old then, and now I’m 41. That’s 20 years of enjoying one of the best Thai restaurants in Redding! Right now (October 2025), they’re on vacation until November 10th, and I honestly can’t wait for them to come back because I’ve been craving their food nonstop. This restaurant is family-based, run mostly by sisters, and you can truly feel the love, care, and warmth in everything they do. They’ve known me for so many years that when I walk in, they always check in on me — asking how I’m doing, how my daughter is, and what’s new in my life. Sometimes when it’s my birthday, or if I’ve had a hard day, or when my daughter’s birthday comes around, they’ll surprise us with something sweet — like candies, a small toy, or mango sticky rice. It’s such a thoughtful touch, and it shows how much they care. They treat their regulars like family, and I truly love them for that. They always cater to my needs without hesitation. They know I love big salads, so they make me a large bowl with cashews, cucumber, jicama, sweet mango, avocado, spring mix, cabbage, and onion, often mixed with a mild papaya salad (no tomatoes — they remember that!). My favorite meal is the cassoy beef with extra egg, broccoli, mushrooms, and tendon. Their Pad Thai, curries, and spring rolls are also incredible — especially the spring rolls, which are soft and sticky on the rice part, crunchy and fresh on the veggies, and just melt in your mouth. I used to order Thai boba tea with light boba and extra cream, and they always made it perfect. These days I eat a bit healthier, and they still prepare everything just how I like it. I usually spend between $12 and $30, depending on how many extras I order — and every penny is worth it. The people here are truly delightful, genuine, and kind. After 20 years, they feel like family to me. If you’ve never been — go while you can! Their food is made with love, and I hope you have an experience like mine, or even better.

I’m very picky about how well the rice and noodles are cooked, and this place is perfect. I ate here twice while I’m staying here for two days. Duck fried rice and Thai boat noodles were both amazing.

I love their fresh spring rolls and tom yum soup. They also have good pad thai and pho

Used to get takeout from here all the time when I had work in the area during pandemic, even if I was in Anderson. Today first time dining in, splurged on 2 appetizers. Curry puffs and prawn rolls taste really good when hot. Khao soy flavor very nice; they use rice noodles (see pic) and chicken chunks are soft. Got the papaya salad spicy! I don’t typically like sour food, but the salad didn’t taste sour to me. Tasted refreshing and the crunchy green beans and peanuts was really good together. If you like habanero spicy (not sweetened habanero) you’ll like it! If habanero is too spicy for you, mild or no spice is better.

Wow! This is our new go to spot. I ordered seafood Tom Kha and it has so much delicious seafood and the broth was this coconut creamy deliciousness. Mom ordered the beef pho and I tried the broth. Perfection! The only downside to this place is finding parking and seating during peak hours because they are packed, but that should definitely tell you something about how good the food is. There is a little Asian market next door that I really like as well.

Racha has to be my favorite Thai restaurant in Redding! Won’t go anywhere else. The ladies in there have the best service and even better food. Must have spot! I want to try everything on the menu

They make some of the BEST food in Redding, I highly recommend!! I went in tonight because I’m sick and don’t feel the greatest, I told the girl at the front I needed some comfort food and she loaded me up!!

As a Lao who just moved here, it's absolutely comforting to be able to get a good bowl of pho and boat noodles. The boat noodles were a comforting reminisce of home with the same flavors. The catfish dish was also great and filling!

I ordered two dishes. The vegetables and meat were very fresh and tasted good.

I am visiting a friend in Redding. He said he had pho but did not like it. Who doesn’t like pho? So, I found this place based on recommendations and he absolutely loved the pho. And it is very reasonably priced! Sweet staff, reasonably priced food And tasty food. And, The cook redeemed pho in my friend’s eyes. Oh, and the mango sticky rice had a really nice and ripe mango, which is not always the case.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for the last four years and everything is a good. Great service and good food.

Authentic Thai flavors using fresh, quality ingredients. The owners, by their quiet kindness, show that they genuinely care for their customers and community. As for the menu, my daughter always enjoys the fried chicken wings and these are among the best she's ever had. The curries are well-seasoned without the spices overwhelming the palate and are loaded with sufficient protein and fresh vegetables as to be genuinely healthy, despite the awesome deliciousness. Mango with sticky rice was also a generous portion and could have come right from a kitchen in Bangkok. This restaurant is a gem of a place to eat and enjoy the great culinary tradition of the Land of Smiles, also well known as a Foodie Paradise.

Absolutely delicious. I was by myself, so I thought I'd give them a try. I ordered the fresh rolls and crispy chicken wings. They both were so, so, good. I will be back with husband and friends. I highly recommend Racha Noodle. It was very clean. There was so much food, I had to bring home left overs. Price was more than fair.

Quick and friendly service. In and out in less than an hour. Great place for lunch and quite enough to do business. The food was out of this world and fresh. I got the beef phó. Highly recommended!!

Been coming here for 14 years. Never dissapointed. Great flavors, healthy, Thai atmosphere, and awesome view of Lassen Also, AMAZING Mango Sticky rice!! Also, Basil Eggplant is top notch!!

This is great food at a great price and we had the curry puffs as an appetizer and they were so delicious and amazing!

The food is amazing. The ladies are the sweetest but a little slight of hearing, ordering can be difficult at times. They are a tad slow in the kitchen but the wait is worth it. The food is made with love.

I was definitely in for a surprise. After doing some research on the best Thai restaurants in Redding, I came in with low expectations, but this place exceeded them. The duck curry was a standout — rich, savory, and surprisingly nostalgic. It really hit the spot! During peak hours, parking can be stressful, but that’s a minor inconvenience compared to the warm and attentive service. The older ladies serving were absolutely delightful, adding a personal touch that made the experience even better side note: the photo i took is the khai soy (beef stew) that was an amazing dish as well.

Decent Thai food with a long wait. We got take out here on the way to Mt. Shasta. Location is not great with homeless people about. Ordered on the phone but had to wait as it was crowded. Food was decent but flavors not as vibrant or authentic as we expected. Got the vegan soup and fried rice.

My visit here for lunch was decent. Not bad but definitely not too good or great. I was greeted by the host/server who was a very nice older lady. I got the Seafood Pad Thai and Racha shrimp fried rice. The pad Thai took a bit longer to come out I winded up finishing the fried rice before receiving the Pad Thai. Both dishes however came out hot, although very simple not too flavorful. The shrimp wasn’t the best quality and had the hard shell still on the tail which I am not a big fan of with fried rice. It’s decent Thai food given the area but compared to all Thai I’ve had they are average at best.I don’t think I will return. Oh I had a green syrup boba drink that was quite tasty.

Very Bad Service. We came in with a party of 8 people. The waitress was really rushing our order! She didn't give us our water when she said she's going to get it. Then she started to serve another party and not us. Finally she came over to serves us. She took 2 orders then left to the kitchen, we were not done giving her our orders. And then came back with the foods we ordered AND take the rest of our orders while our other food was getting cold. 😠 Really bad service. I will not go there again.
