re: Do you need reservations at Rama in Baton Rouge?

I've found that there is better Thai food in Houma on the northshore but to be fair I only ordered a couple of things there

I'd suggest getting some recommendations from people who have navigated more of the menu and they won't steer you wrong.

Depends on what you get, but that's every where.

A few of the crowd favorites:

Lemon Grass Soup: if you have multiple people wanting this, you can get the small pot.

Rama Spicy: basically an asian burrito appetizer that you wrap yourself. You can tell them how spicy you like it, but remember Thai folks eat really spicy foods so don't go crazy. You can always ask for the spice rack afterwards to kick it up a notch yourself.

Beef Larb: Flavorful ground beef that you wrap with lettuce or cabbage. THis is a very traditional thai appetizer dish and should be served with cabbage but for some reason you have to ask for it, otherwise out comes the lettuce.

We love the Rama duck and get it every time.

If you're a fan of curry, try the panang curry with whatever meat you like. All of their curries are very good, but I prefer this one.

The pad thai has been a hit or miss lately, but it used to be the best pad thai in town.

Hope this helps.
