Rua Thai does an extremely great job with their presentation! The staff were very kind and everything came out fast. My favorites were the lychee cocktail, coconut cupcake and their Tom yum soup. I would absolutely recommend those dishes. Despite the crab fried rice and mama Tom yum grilled River prawn having really good presentation, I found it lacking a bit of flavor for my taste. I feel like a side of fish sauce or just a bit more seasoning would help! Prices were reasonable. Ambiance is chill, cute decorations! read more

I went to Rua Thai for dinner last Sunday and had a great time. The food and service were great. Staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the shrimp donuts, the duck crepe, the colossal crab fried rice, and the pad see yu with crispy chicken. Everything was pretty tasty. The shrimp donuts were full of shrimp and lightly breaded. Using roti bread was a nice twist for the duck crepe. My favorite dish was the crab fried rice. We couldn't stop eating it. It's a massive portion (hence the name), and the sauce it comes with takes it to another level. I definitely want to try dessert next time along with a few other dishes. read more

This place is surprisingly very good. If you like Somtum der in Red Hook you will like it here too. The Thai papaya salad comes with pork chips is so good, it's sour and spicy and just authentic. The tom yum soup is delicious and they use good ingredients in this soup. We've also tried their ginger sauce chicken for the main is fantastic. Service is excellent and portions are good for the price. I've been here three times now, each time very happy. read more

Pretty nice place! good size, my sister had her birthday lunch here and the staff was very attentive. Most of the food was good, we were just not big fans of their green curry. Also it seems like there's a lot more takeout from this place so the restaurant was pretty empty which let us stay as long as we wanted! read more

This place hunts. I had the monster shrimp dish that usually comes with ramen noodles. They subbed the ramen for gluten free which many places wouldn't do that, but these guys did. This place is pretty cool. Maybe a little on the pricey side. Service was fine, not overly attentive. read more

This is a great place for a lunch date. The staffs were friendly and we had a great time. We highly recommended their Shrimp Donuts appetizer and Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawn. Their color changing lemonade is so fun and refreshing! read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 1/5 Ambiance: 1/5 We had been once at Rua for dinner a couple months ago and loved it, so we figured we'd try it for lunch - but that was a huge mistake that completely soured us over Rua. First the food is still good. The duck crepe is amazing and curry puffs are definitely fresh and tasty. Pad thai and Pad Kee Mao were good albeit a bit bland. But the service was abysmal. When we arrived on a Saturday around 1:30pm the waitress barely looked up from her phone and told us to go sit wherever... ok sorry for bothering you lady, especially when the whole place was basically empty. Then the whole service was cold and very unfriendly. The worse was probably the checkout where she just gave us the bill visibly irritated without a single word, and then didn't move from her phone as we desperately tried to get her attention to pay. But the worse part of our meal was with the table next to us. Two obnoxious and clearly poorly educated girls blaring their phone at full volume for everyone in the restaurant to hear. And the restaurant staff did nothing. We ended up just standing up and moving our own plates to the other side of the restaurant while the waitres was still helplessly absorbed by her phone. Summary: good food, but staff doesn't give a f. We likely won't be back. read more

unfortunately food was just standard, nothing that really stood out. food came our one plate at a time, which was annoying because it meant that a party of five was eating at different times to avoid food getting cold. the lunch special is def a steal and very filling, it comes with a choice of a side and salad. presentation is great. ambiance is also very nice and decorative. they have amazing happy hour deals, but i can't see this restaurant surviving based on the quality of their dishes alone read more

This is a great delivery spot! I'm not sure if they took over the former spot of Rua Thai or renamed, but the food remains excellent, their delivery is quick (and it's a very-large delivery radius). They are also pretty accommodating to vegetarians by removing g fish sauce! read more

I would say this is a good reliable option but don't expect top notch Thai food. Food is served lukewarm and not very fresh. Service is also just okay. read more

This is a good Thai restaurant. The atmosphere is casual and intimate, with cute decor. The menu is very creative and modern. The Shrimp Donut is a highlight, simply delicious. It's a good option for Thai food in Brooklyn. read more

Food was great and I love the concept of bringing a taste of the Thailand floating markets to NYC! My favorite dish was the duck crepe.

Rua Thai Restaurant - Cocktails - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just opened in the previous spot of a standard Thai restaurant, this venture is more inventive and focused with a menu inspired by Thailand's famed floating markets where vendors offer food, handicrafts and souvenirs from traditional wooden boats afloat on khlongs. The chef is originally from Central Thailand, so he knows a thing or two about the dishes served on water, just now more elevated and dolled up. The signature shrimp donuts are dressed up by stacked on a sugarcane , like that hoop game you play, just now you get to eat the 'hoops'. Then there's the fish curry custard, a package that packs a punch and a kitschy presentation of flavored ramen noodles spilling out of the Thai brand Mama cup of noodle with a giant shrimp resting on top for added protein. There are specially named cocktails and mocktails. Only lament is a more thought out dessert menu besides mango sticky rice and ice cream. read more

Me and my husband love Thai food and we were excited to try this restaurant. Great atmosphere I loved that it wasn't congested and very bright. The drinks were amazing definitely get the watermelon mojito and lychee martini. The appetizers we got was the calamari and larb wings which was finger licking good. I originally wanted shrimp donuts but they didn't have that I'll have to go back to try that. The main dishes was really really good I loved that they had sauces that pair very well with the food. My husband had steak that was made well and the branzino I had was out of this world with the crispy skin and flaky meat. I would definitely go again ! read more

100% Crispy pork with Chinese broccoli is highly recommended. We go it for lunch perfectly foods. Some co-workers got fried rice and curry were fabulous. Rua thai is truly a hidden gem in Brooklyn! read more

Love this new Thai restaurant in Brooklyn! The design is cozy and cute and the food is amazing. They have classic Thai favorites and some unique dishes I had never heard of. I loved their duck crepes and their mango salad that was like a papaya salad but with fresh ripe mango, even better! The presentation of all the dishes was also really nice. They clearly do a lot of takeout business too, would definitely order delivery if I lived closer! read more

The ambiance was perfect for a dinner date with my best friend! The plates are well proportioned and super filling, we each had food left to take home.

Authentic dishes and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend

We started with the Shrimp Donuts and Calamari, both of which were tasty. The Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns were a highlight. The Colossal Crab Fried Rice had generous portions of crab that made each bite a delight. We ended our meal with the Coconut Custard, which was creamy and delicious, reminded us of rice pudding/porridge. Overall, everything tasted as good as it looked. read more

The food was super flavorful and good, I'd come back. The drinks are on the sweeter side.

everything was absolutely amazing. the shrimp donuts were delicious and innovative with or without the sauce. the mama Tom yum river prawns were delicious and the presentation was A1. we came during lunch so it was quiet and intimate and all of the food came out hot and fresh. I'd deff suggest giving them a try and I'll deff be coming back. read more

I had went to this lovely restaurant and the first thing that had impressed me was the lovely staff. I was here with my sister and her baby and they had graciously asked us if we needed a high chair for her child. I thought this was super sweet because every restaurant I have gone to they never ask but instead wait for you to do so. That alone was enough for me to have a high bar for high expectation of this place and the service here. They even set up the chair well and asked if they could place my sisters carriage in a safer place. They were very polite and were very concerned with us having a good experience. Everything felt very natural and nothing seemed forced or of negative energy at all. Besides their kindness they wasn't rushing us to order and even would tell us to take our time and let us get settled in to our table first with drinks of water. Once we were ready they handed us menus and walked away and let us have our time in deciding what drinks to get and what appetizer we wanted to have. Once me and her decided on both minutes later they kindly gave us our drinks. I had the butterfly pea lychee soda something I have never tried out before and was delighted by it. The taste was sweet for sure but nothing overwhelming or too much. I loved seeing how the drink changed color as well it was a fun sight. My sister had the strawberry guava and she did let me try it and I can say that one was delicious as well. Yes a bit more on the sour side but nothing unbearable I feel it balanced well with the strawberry. Later on we got our appetizers and to my pleasure the crab rangoon was scrumptious and in my opinion the best I have ever had. They were very cheesy and so savory and the shrimp doughnuts I had were over the moon good. I highly enjoyed those being a shrimp lover and a doughnut lover it was a perfect combo. Lastly we had chose our main meals and had gotten mango chicken with sticky rice and collosal crab fried rice with more crab rangoon. These two meals were delicious and of a portion so great I couldn't finish all my rice and had to take it home. Honestly I was stuffed from the appetizers but more then happy with what I got. Overall this restaurant is wonderful with nice decor and a lot of food and drink options. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves thai or just wants to try something new out for decent prices. read more
