A table with Asian dishes including shredded crab salad, chicken with vegetables, a bowl of rice, and a small vase with decorative greenery.

Thai-inspired eats

The menu focuses on innovative flavors, but is still filled with takeout favorites like beef bulgogi, peanut curry noodles, crab cheese, and spring rolls. We have a lot of passion for food, which is perfect since the word Rák means "love" in Thai.
