Rak Khun, a Thai phrase meaning "I love you", is a family-owned Thai eatery and bar in Takanini Town Centre, at Unit 7.4, 30 Walters Road. The room has hot pink walls, neon signs and lanterns overhead. The menu covers traditional favourites, curries, fresh seafood, sizzling plates, a lunch express menu, kids' sets and banquets. Dishes the website names include stir-fried rice noodles, slow-cooked Massaman lamb and whole snapper prepared in the Thai tradition, which it calls a house specialty. The chicken wings are deep-fried and drizzled with the house Rak Khun sauce.
Dine-in, takeaway, Uber Eats and DoorDash are all offered, and the restaurant is open Monday to Sunday. Soups come in a family size, and the website says to ask about the price. Our pick in Takanini for a family meal with banquet and shared plates.
