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.

Three colorful cocktails on a bar counter, including a yellow drink with mint, a pink drink with a garnish, and a beige drink in a martini glass.
