" If you want authentic Thai food, Rao is the place to be! I have tried boat noodles at various locations, but the flavor here is unparalleled. The broth has a depth that warms the soul. The vibe is also great; it feels like a cozy yet chic Thai hideout. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly, and though the service slowed a bit near the end of our meal, the quality of the food compensated greatly for that. Highly recommend giving it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rao Thai Eatery is my go-to spot for Thai food! Every dish I've tried has been fantastic. The flavors are authentic, and I’ve been impressed every single time with the consistency. The ambience really makes you feel like you’re in a traditional Thai restaurant. The staff are friendly and make you feel at home. Highly recommend the mango sticky rice as a dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for an amazing experience, given all the praise, but my meal didn’t meet expectations. The food was just mediocre, lacking the depth I enjoy in Thai cuisine. Service was okay, but my meal took longer than it should have to be served. Pretty decor, but that alone isn't enough to bring me back. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the variety on the menu, which includes authentic Thai street food options as well as more classic dishes. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and I loved the cozy decor. I’d happily recommend Rao to anyone wanting a real taste of Thailand without the long flight! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Rao for lunch and really enjoyed my meal! The fried rice had so much flavor, something most places often overlook. The staff were nice and made me feel welcome. The inside has a charming vibe, but I found the portions a little lacking for lunch. Overall, great experience and I would visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rao Thai Eatery was such a delightful experience! I ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert, and it was heavenly! The staff were accommodating, ensuring my meal was as I requested. Although the main course took a few minutes longer than expected, it was cooked fresh and tasted exquisite. I will absolutely return and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rao Thai is such a gem! The atmosphere is cozy, and the decor is lovely. I was impressed with the authenticity of flavors. The boat noodles were particularly good, and the prices are reasonable. However, the wait was somewhat long during dinner hours. Still, I'd be happy to revisit this spot for the great food! " (*Curated Review*)
