Ratee | Thai Restaurant

The food was very expensive for the small portion they give and taste was just okay at best depending on the dish. Some dish are not that great. On top of the small portion, hardly any meat and vegetables in the meal itself. It was disappointing for all of us that went there. Only thing was the lady in the front was nice. That's about it.

There are quite a few Thai restaurants in the Short Pump area, Ratee has the best flavor and spiciness. Not too many people knows about this place. The interior is a little outdated but it is roomy, clean, and quiet. My favorite dish is Khua Gling with Ground Pork (very hot). It is diced green beans cooked with ground chicken or ground pork. This dish is so tasty, perfect with white rice. Basil Chicken had a really good flavor, but the chicken was not as tender as how I liked. I also ordered the Basil Pork with mix vegetables instead of the white onion, it had way too much cabbage. Drunken Noodle was as good as always. Make sure you try the Chicken Puff and Chicken Satay for appetizers. Curry chicken, potato and onion filled in flaky pastry, it was delicious. My only complaint is the portion. However, the portion appear to be small at most of the Thai restaurants. If you are craving for Thai and love spicy food, you should give Ratee a try. The waitress is very bright, good at

Lol. Fiancee and I just laughed at the portions. Out of both Thai Dinners, Elephant, Ten, Crazy and my favorite Thai Flavor, this had smallest portions and taste like normal thai. Nothing special. I think they charge for the ambiance of the actual restaurant, not thier takeout. I can see why others say they felt ripped off. If they want to save money they need to use smaller tuppers. Lol. Photos are on yelp so you can see for yourself.
