The 2 curry dishes were good but the pad thai was burnt, spring rolls were ok ... the dipping sauce was watery. Won't order pad thai again.

The best Vietnamese food in town! The customer service & food is great! Absolutely speedy at getting your food out and the spicy lamb is great! The last two times I will say has been a miss as it's been chewy but the flavor is on point and next time we go hopefully that subsides?

The food was good. Service was good. I've just had better. I got the chicken pho, and there wasn't a lot of chicken in it. My husband got the seafood curry. The taste was okay, but it was creamier than he would have liked, and it had no spice. The rice was really good. Our appetizer was the fresh pork spring roll. I liked it. It was probably my favorite part. But my husband wasn't a fan. But he doesn't like peanut sauce.

Our family loves Ray's place. Their family takes care of you like you're family. The hours and parking can be somewhat daunting but it's worth it. This place is frequently packed and you'll see why after your first meal. Will be a lifetime guest in their restaurant! Go if you haven't and keep going!

Honestly I love this place so much, but every single time I try to call the number listed 279-2932 it says it is unavailable. I call like 4 times a week just hoping it works so I dont to drive and
Stopped in at Ray's Place for a late dinner and was just amazed at how good the food there was. We got shrimp curry, the Alaskan Halibut and Spring Rolls.Everything tasted great and all the employees were friendly and quick. The atmosphere was also very friendly with everybody walking around in smiles.The food was so good that we were also able to meet the owners who were extremely friendly and easy to talk with.We're only in Anchorage for a week and the front desk person recommended Ray's Place to us and we're so happy we took that recommendation. We liked the food so much that we're planning on heading over there again before our trip is over.Definitely a spot to hit if you're in town for the day, weekend or week!

I'd never been to Ray's Place before - mainly due to the fact I've found my go-to place for Beef Fried Rice. So went to my go-to place for Beef Fried Rice last Thursday, and i was shocked by how bad it was on this most recent occasion. We asked the server was there a new chef, but she said no. It was bland, the rice was overcooked and mushy, just no flavour at all. Anyway, she did not charge us for it, and also gave us a couple of red bean pastries on the house, so no shade thrown at them. Let's just say Chef was having a bad day, and leave it at that.But i was still Jonesing for the Beef Fried Rice, and when Ray's Place popped up in a search for chinese food, i was confused because i thought it was Vietnamese. I should have known, that most Asian places in town are somewhat flexible in their dishes, and have a selection from most Asian countries. There was a great review for Beef Fried Rice, so i informed husband that i wanted to go to Ray's Place. Goodness, it's a busy restaurant, constant order pickups to go, and the dining hall was busy too. I did like the space, there's a big crystal chandelier in the shape of a boat as you walk in, and then smaller chandeliers over each table. Table tops are marble. Really nice space. Not too much clutter (ie "art") and fast service. I ordered the Beef Fried Rice, which also had the option for a couple dollars extra, of coming with curry sauce. I chose not to have the curry sauce. Blake got chicken curry. They had very nice stainless steel tumblers for the water. I was handed a really large plate of Beef Fried Rice, and Blake got a really big bowl of Chicken Curry, and a bowl of rice. My Beef Fried Rice had an enormous amount of other vegetables than is normally included in this dish - cabbage, carrots, broccoli, sweetcorn, and of course the beef. Now i will say this, and it's the reason this review is 4 star, and not 5 star. The beef was a little chewy, whereas my previous go-to Beef Fried Rice always has very tender Beef. The Chinese have a "secret" way of tenderizing even the cheapest cuts, and i can tell. I can also tell that this method has not been used on the Beef in my Beef Fried Rice here at Ray's Place. It's still delicious and savoury though, very good, perfectly cooked veggies, and the rice is excellent. It has a different overall flavour than my favourite fried rice at the other place, so I'm a little sad about that. Par for the course, I cannot eat it all, and get a to-go box, so i can scarf it down later. Blake's curry was also delicious, very distinctly Chinese in flavour, with a mild kick. It had some lovely big potatoes in it, and they were perfectly cooked despite their size. Not everywhere mange's to get them fully cooked through AND still have flavour. This was a lovely Chicken Curry. I was very happy with the food, the service, and the dining room, and will definitely return.

Ray's is great. Every time I visit, I receive courteous, prompt, and professional service. The authenticity and caliber of the pictures were well beyond what I had anticipated. The fish with ginger and vegetables was really delicious! Being a family-run business, they take great delight in what they produce.

Ray's cold noodle salad always the win! :DUpdate: If you are among the many who have switched to a plant-based diet and found restaurant options hopelessly disappointing, you may find a ray of sunlight at Ray's. They will make special adjustments to their dishes to make them vegan (if they aren't already) -- in fact, their menu specifies, in writing (!) to please let them know if you wish for no animal products and they will accommodate you.Vegetarian options: They will accommodate both vegetarian and vegan requirements.
