What would Thai cuisine be without Thai noodles? One of our very favorite pan fried noodle dishes at Rachada Thai Cuisine is Gai Kua.

Gai Kua is not quite as familiar to many Americans as Pad Thai, and of course we serve a great Pad Thai at Rachada Thai Cuisine. But a little variety is the spice of life, and we’d like to suggest you give Gai Kua noodles a taste if you’d like to try something delicious and different next time you’re out for a Thai noodle fix.

Gai Kua noodles are made with flat, wide rice noodles perfectly stir fried with with egg, green onion, and bean sprouts, and usually includes chicken for the meat. If you’d like to substitute pork or tofu, just ask.

Eggplant Salad with Grilled Shrimp is a wonderfully delicious Thai salad and perfectly refreshing for the summer season.
The grilled Chinese eggplant are succulent and sweet and the grilled shrimp are fresh and delicious. We butterfly the shrimp before they go on the grill which gives the shrimp just a touch of crunch, the perfect preparation for this special salad.
