The food was delicious, the service was very great, they met all my needs, the wait wasn’t very long which I liked. The atmosphere was very aesthetic, relaxing and clean.

Love this place a d their food.
Please tey the crab nachos with some Sriracha sauce. You won't regret it!

RAK is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is beautiful, clean, and instantly welcoming. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Chang, our server, was incredibly well versed in the menu, polite, prompt, and truly took pride in creating a memorable experience for us.

The food was reasonably priced with generous portions, and you can taste the love in every bite. Every dish was perfectly balanced in flavor and thoughtfully prepared. If you’re looking for some of the best Thai food in Grand Rapids, it’s 100% RAK. Highly recommend.

Atmosphere and service were top notch but the food was just average. Dry chicken, unequally distributed sauces, and not as large portions compared to other Thai restaurants in the area.

Went there a while back and ordered a ribeye, when they brought the steak out it was a NY strip. When I asked the server what type of cut it was he told me it was a NY Strip. I pointed out that it said ribeye on the menu. He went back to the chef and the chef told him it was a Ribeye. I have butchered my own cows and am 1,000,000% sure it was not a ribeye. So either the chef is incompetent or straight up lied to me. Either way there was no attempt to make things right and the price was absolutely not worth it for a NY strip but would have been fair for a ribeye. Either way we will never return and it was unfortunately.

Very enjoyable experience at Rak. We have been customers of theirs since they were Rak Thai and I was quite impressed with how they have elevated their food in this restaurant setting.
Food: We had the orange chicken and peanut curry. It was absolutely delicious. They changed from using chicken breast to tenderloins in this dish and it made a huge difference. Tender, juicy and flavorful with the sauce. The peanut curry was delicious as well, their dishes were larger which was a plus.
Staff: the staff was extremely friendly and kind and we were checked on by multiple people. They just added a new beer on tap that my partner got and they asked how he liked it, and we had a nice conversation with one of the owners. The Lychee mimosa was so good I had two 🤤
Definitely recommend trying this restaurant out, they do an amazing job with their food and are customer centered.
Atmosphere: they elevated their space nicely. It’s large, comfortable and decorated well. We will be going back often.

The food and service were amazing. The orange chicken was perfectly crispy and bursting with tangy, sweet flavor, while the peanut noodles were rich, creamy, and wonderfully seasoned. Both dishes hit that ideal balance of comfort and gourmet flair. The service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance welcoming, and the portions generous. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

this review hurts to leave. I have been eating at Rak for years. I convinced my husband to try Thai from the stand they used to have in the market years ago, and he fell in love with the food. We would truly order here monthly.

Last winter we came in person during the kriskindl market and we weren’t impressed. We tried dining in person two other times and between the slow service (with few people in the restaurant) and the food quality being significantly lower, so we took a break.

We were craving Thai tonight… ordered takeout… and were greatly disappointed. This is not the same food it used to be. We had the crab nachos, pad see ew, and the peanut noodles. We both took a few bites from the entree and sadly decided not to finish them.

Amazing food and great atmosphere

Blon and his team are incredible. The food is so fresh and flavorful. Drinks are unique and taste delightful. Lots of custom holiday drinks to try and the deconstructed crab rangoon is the best!

This Thai restaurant is delicious and the owner is knowledgeable of dishes and drinks! I highly recommend the Crab Cheese Nachos, Soft Shell Crab Curry, and the Thai Ice Tea.
