Welcome to Rak Thai Thai Cuisine By Ann

42 Whalley Banks, Blackburn BB2 1NU, United Kingdom

General Info

Tucked away at 42 Whalley Banks in Blackburn, Rak Thai Thai Cuisine By Ann offers a warm and welcoming spot for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors. From the moment you step inside, the relaxed seating and inviting atmosphere make it clear this is a place where you can truly unwind and enjoy a proper meal.

What stands out immediately is the thoughtfully curated menu. It’s not overwhelming, yet it covers all the essentials you’d expect from a quality Thai restaurant. The Gaeng Massaman is easily one of the highlights-rich, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting, with tender meat that soaks up every bit of the aromatic curry. Alongside that, the Spring Rolls are crisp and light, making them the perfect way to start your meal without feeling too heavy.

If you’re in the mood for something a little more indulgent, the Prawn Toast delivers a satisfying crunch with every bite, while the Dim Sum selection adds a nice variety for those who enjoy small plates. Sharing a few dishes here feels natural, especially since the portions are ideal for mixing and matching. The Wonton Soup, on the other hand, is simple yet incredibly soothing-great for balancing out the richer dishes on the table.

Service-wise, the experience is smooth and convenient. The restaurant accepts reservations, which is helpful if you’re planning a visit during busy hours. There’s also a free parking lot available, along with additional parking options nearby, making it easy to access without the usual stress of finding a spot. These small details really enhance the overall experience, especially if you’re visiting with friends or family.

The overall vibe leans toward casual dining, but there’s still a sense of care in how everything is presented-from the dishes to the seating arrangement. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or planning a relaxed evening meal, the setting adapts well. It’s the kind of place where reviews often highlight both the consistency of the food and the ease of the experience.

With a menu that balances classic Thai favorites and shareable plates, plus a convenient location in Blackburn, Rak Thai Thai Cuisine By Ann delivers a dining experience that feels both reliable and genuinely enjoyable.

What customers say?

“ We visited as we had heard how good The food was here from friends and we loved it. My daughter and wife had starters and a main as did I and we shared everything. My daughter really enjoyed her first experience of Thai food which is a relief as we are going to Thailand next month. Ann was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Well priced and cooked to order. We look forward to eating there again very soon. ”

“ Hidden gem! Such delicious and absolutely authentic Thai food. Ann and her partner were really friendly, kind and generous. We loved everything we ordered and returned the second day to all try different things (we were a party of 6!) Food is amazing, everything was on point. No complaints! Would highly recommend the Tom Kha, Green Curry, Red Curry, Pad Krapao and Pad Parik ”

- Sha MS -

“ Came here on a Friday night with my wife and two small kids. Saw the 4.9 stars it received. In a nutshell, it deserves the good ratings it gets! Stepping into Matt and Ann’s restaurant is like being greeted into their own personal home. You can feel the warmth and earnestness in Matt the moment ushers you to your table. Food prepared by Ann is as authentic. She retains her hometown’s take on Tom Yam. Coming from Singapore, we could tell her dishes are different from the usual ones we get back home or in Bangkok. We absolutely loved her Tom Yam Mixed and Pad Thai. A halal kitchen is maintained in the establishment. Rak Thai is a family-runned unit. Just by observing the stream of phone call orders coming in to collect their food, the banter they exchange with Matt and Ann (even while she’s cooking), you can tell that Rak Thai is a gem in the Blackburn community. Matt and Ann truly try their best to accommodate anybody who walks through their doors. We drove all the way from Preston to try Ann’s cooking. We didn’t regret it. We had the best Asian food at Rak Thai during our trip to Lancashire. Most importantly we met the best hosts possible. We will definitely visit them again! ”

The lovely lady chef was on her own the night we visited and she managed to provide excellent customer service as well as expertly cooking all the tempting dishes. Thank you so much Ann. ”

- Yorkshire Sunshine -

“ Can't recommend this place more highly. Delicious freshly cooked food, beautiful dishes, excellent service. We had the dim sum, khao Tom soup with veg and the lab gai with chicken before finishing it off with a Thai pancake for desert. A perfect meal between two. We've come up from London for the Textile Biennale and this was better than anything we'd find in London - so glad we went! ”

- Zoe B -

“ Great Thai restaurant in Blackburn Ann is really nice and always smiling food is really tasty been 4 or 5 times and it's consistently very good no matter what we order. Open kitchen so can see the fresh food being cooked in front of you. Definitely worth checking out if you like Thai food or want to try it even! ”
