This award winning eatery is one few that offer authentic Thai cuisine! Even the wine list is enough to make your mouth water, with choices including selections from Mondavi, Coppola, and Rutherford Hill.
Rama offers specialties such as the Drunken Spicy Noodles, flat noodles with Thai chili, garlic, red bell peppers, Oriental broccoli, tomatoes and basil and the ever so traditional Pad Se-Ew, stir fried flat noodles and Chinese broccoli with black bean sauce.
What was that? Thai food is too spicy for you? Not to worry! The chefs at Rama emphasize that not every dish must be prepared spicy. You can simply request the degree of spiciness in which is most comfortable to your tastes!
I started as a Celadon fan back when it was located in Hillcrest. Then it moved and I was dissapointed with the new location. When Rama opened, I loved both the food and ambiance. Last Friday, I tool my visiting Chef friend to Rama for this reason. We waited 45 minutes for our table, so we had a drink at Oceanaire while we waited. Upon return, we were seated in the front room, which lacked the vibe of the back room. The waiter was terrible or perhaps just too honest. We asked for a Heavenly Roll without sprouts and he said, sorry, those are pre-made. Ugh, said my Chef friend. Pre-made, how embarrassing for a nice restaurant like Rama. The crunchy shrimp salad was also disappointing. And, the curry, tom kha soup or pad thai isn't even half as good as Lotus Thai in Hillcrest. Rama needs to stop catering to unknowing convention center visitors and stop thinking mass production, via catering business, and provide a better high quality food experience to long time fans like myself. I will not be going back. The prices both at Rama and Celadon are also ridiculous now. $18 for an entree! Last but not least, they only service two types of beer and were out of one type. One more thing, the bill had an erroneous charge on it inflating our amount due by $20. Horrible, horrible experience. Shape up Rama!
