Thai Country Noodle

Thai Country Noodle from Racha Thai in Worcester

Thai Country Noodle from Racha Thai in Worcester

Racha Thai Restaurant on the Western side of Worcester, near the Auburn line, is in a little strip mall and is easy to spot. Decorated in the Asian style. I expected our meals to take a bit longer, we were a large group and I only saw one wait staff for the whole restaurant but she was very prompt with filling water glasses and taking our drink and food orders.

My husband and I ordered an appetizer to start “Bangkok ravioli” it was fantastic, a light wonton wrapper filled with minced chicken and spices deep fried to a golden brown, it came with a soy based sauce to dip or drizzle over.

For my meal I ordered the “Thai Country Noodle” dish and was not disappointed, it was filled with thin egg noodles mixed in a spicy thai peanut sauce with bamboo shoots, onions, green peppers, broccoli and chicken. It was similiar to what I have had at other Thai restaurants however I thought the portions at Racha were a little more generous then some. I was able to finish my meal with a little help from my husband, however I was stuffed and very content by the time I left the restaurant.

I would return to this place and try some of the other menu options and of course I would absolutely order the “Thai country Noodle” dish again. -RL

Steak Tips

The Parkway Diner on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester may not look like your typical diner, but it is. Recently renovated to add a fairly large dining room, the menu still offers your traditional diner fare.

For an appetizer, I split an order of the cheese fries with my wife. They were pretty much exactly what I expected, an order plenty large for 2 people (would have been way too much for 1) with 2 kinds of cheese and bacon. Greasy and filling, they were quite good and satisfying.

For a main course, I tried the steak tips. A decent sized portion, about the size of a medium steak, served over rice pilaf with the vegetable of the day. I had a choice of corn and peas or broccoli, I went with the broccoli. Again, pretty much what I expected out of a diner. The tips were basic but seasoned and cooked nicely with a nice flavor, though nothing fancy. The rice was a little on the dry side, but the portion was large and again, the flavor was nice. The broccoli was overcooked though and fairly mushy, with very little texture left.

Overall a basic, but good, meal for the price paid, with your typical diner atmosphere. You can even play Keno while eating. –DL
