The chefs at Racha Noodles & Thai Cuisine wok-fry and sauté an extensive menu of Thai and Asian-fusion dishes awash with spicy sauces and tender noodles. Fashion tongues into lassos to rope in an order of spring rolls ($7.95) or mieng kum ($9.95), a customary starter of roasted coconut and peanuts stuffed in Thai cha plu leaves. The main course offers a medley of curries ($13.95+) and more than 20 noodle dishes crafted with strands such as sen mee rice noodles ($13.95+) or translucent mung-bean glass noodles ($15.95+). Chef's specials employ traditional Thai cooking methods and range from entrees such as thai catfish ($19.95) to platters of lemongrass chicken ($15.95) served on a sizzling hot plate that keeps food warmer than a hug from a volcano.

The dining room is awash with vibrant hues and touches of nature, from planters filled with living greenery to winding floral sculptures that reach from floor to ceiling like Stretch Armstrong during a yoga class. Intimate tables and comfortable booths nestle against a colorful backdrop of murals depicting scenes from Southeast Asian lore and culture.
