Love this small local restaurant, east street parking cosy. I came back here for mussels pancake and boat noodles again also tried new items on the menu. Boat noodles has excellent homemade broth and i believe not many thai place sell this dish. Strong aroma from the broth, chewy noodles if you can the the heat it's very addicting. I ended up ordering non spicy and have chilies on the side. The pork is little try. Meatball was good and bouncy. Love this very much overall. Crispy pork belly has very nice dipping sauce comes with it, i can tase the lime and little sweet and sour perfect to pair with the poke belly. Tapioca ball is ok something new to try, it's sweet dish kinda like Chinese mochi balls Pineapple fried rice smells very good the combination of spices, very aromatic Drunken noodles is yummy, the duck meat tend to be dry (beef one is better ) great deal when coming for lunch. Appetizers are small portions, which is great you get to taste little of everything. Fried wonton and fish cake is good, both are not Strong in seasoning but has a perfect dipping sauces. Mango sticky rice is excellent, sticky rice is not very sticky type, i guess it's cooked with pandan leaves, salty coconut sauce not too sweet , I'll get one order by myself next time. They'll only sell it when the mango is good so grab it when u can. Would definitely explore more food next time. Very nice boss lady! read more

Great food! Not where you go for the decor, but food is fantastic. This was our second time here and so we tried some dishes we hadn't tried before. Only repeat was the Tod Mun. Drunken noodles were tasty and spicy. We had to eat with white rice to temper the heat (not a bad thing since that meant we'd get another tasty meal out of it!). Thai style mussels pancake was also tasty. Be ready to dig in with fork and knife, or fork & spoon as we did. read more

Cute little out of the way place. Service was right on key. I had the Pad Thai with Shrimp. The flavor in this was unbelievable so authentic. My guests food came had the Pad aka Praw. He said it was fantastic. I'll have to take his word for it. Unfortunately I got so caught up in the smells and the things in the walls that I forgot to take pictures of the food however I did take pictures of the menu. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely give this place a try read more

Visited after a long absence for take out. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and the Nua Nam Tok, a spicy dish with beef, lettuce, scallions, shallots, roasted rice and mint, and a Thai iced tea. My order was waiting when I arrived. All was most satisfying, fresh ingredients and generous portions. I still say this is the best Thai Iced tea around. Amazing. Friendly service. Only on street parking in residential neighborhood. read more

We're addicted! The pad Thai and spring rolls are so delicious. They're a regular delivery for us now

Being in the Bridgeport area there are only so many Thai restaurants nearby so decided to grab some food since I was craving some Thai food. Little hole-in-the-wall shop as it's at a corner of the street. Wasn't busy at all and the staff was very friendly when I went to pick it up, even though it was brief. Had the lunch special to go. Pad Thai was flavorful along with everything which tasted fresh. Thin rice noodles mixed well with the tamarind sauce and the tofu had a soft but slightly crunchy, stir-fried texture. Portion is filling. I got the fried wontons as my side, nothing really too special but the sweet, garlic sauce that pairs with it is what makes it tastes good. Definitely, the best Thai restaurant that I have tasted so far in the area, and will be coming back again. read more

Always a wonderful meal. Love the yellow curry. Drunken noodles are spicy. In a good way. Although I wouldn't go above medium.

Best Thai food in CT. I will die on this hill. The drunken noodle is phenomenal. Cute little spot to eat in or take out.

10/10 great authentic Thai food. Absolutely delicious...definitely coming back for sure.

As dedicated Thai food enthusiasts who have experienced authentic Thai cuisine from Bangkok's streets to Jackson Heights' Thai community, and even the vibrant Thai food stalls during our time in Japan, my partner and I have always found Connecticut's Thai restaurants disappointing - too sweet, lacking the essential heat and sourness of genuine Thai cooking. Then we discovered Ruuthai's Kitchen, and everything changed! Drawn in by positive Yelp reviews and the promising sight of a Thai grocery store nearby, we decided to give it a try - and what a revelation it was! This place serves unapologetically spicy Thai food that makes you break into a sweat, just as it should. The aromatic complexity of their herbs and spices is outstanding, and for good reason - they actually grow their own herbs in a garden space right next to the restaurant! This dedication to authenticity absolutely floored us. The lunch special deserves special mention for both its generous portions and remarkable value. We were so impressed that we found ourselves returning multiple times in quick succession. We're already planning our next visit, this time bringing along our Thai food-loving friends who we know will appreciate this rare find. This is truly authentic Thai cuisine that doesn't compromise on traditional flavors and spice levels. Finally, a Thai restaurant that serves food that tastes like it came straight from the streets of Bangkok! read more

Solid 4 stars. Mains were very good. Everything skews a bit sweet, it seems - maybe I'll add a note about spice in the future. It arrived hot and everything tasted fresh. While not awful, the satay was a bit different than I've typically had - it appeared to be deep fried thigh pieces. Typically satays I've had have been grilled breast meat. They're not bad, just different and a little greasier than I expected. Portions were quite large. Unlike other reviews, our meals had an even distribution of meat and vegetables to noodles. I would definitely order again (maybe I'd ask for more spice). read more

Hands down favorite Thai restaurant in New England, and Thai is my favorite cuisine to dine out at. The ladies are very kind and welcoming there, and I love the plants and crafty interior of the restaurant. It's modest with cheerful touches. Must order- chicken satay (the most meaty, non-dry satay i've ever had) Coconut shrimp- so crispy and sweet, and I'm usually not one for fried stuff but this is not too greasy for me! read more

Little whole in the wall in a neighborhood, where I would not expect a Thai restaurant. Very friendly service. While we were dining in we noticed that most of the people came for take out, or a delivery person came to pick up and order. The place is cozy and clean. When it comes to the food, it's good, but not as we expected. The Pad Thai didn't have the noodles that we usually get at other places. I must say that when I ate my daughters left overs the next day, it tasted beter. read more

I was craving Thai food and decided to give Ruuthai a try. The food was amazing! We tried the Pad Thai with duck and Drunken noodles with chicken. The portions were very generous (was an easy 2 meals per entree) and so flavorful! The duck was simply excellent. I thought the drunken noodles were a tad too spicy so I would definitely ask to make it more mild next time. Can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

Had lunch take out and everyone loved it. It's a small Local place but the food is authentic, flavorful and very delicious and not greasy at all. Papaya salad is very spicy, if you like the heat :) masa man curry is unctuous and satisfying, got the rich curry base, potatoes and peanuts with your choice of protein. See eww noodles are so delicious despite the funny name lol. Basil fried rice was fragrant with Thai basil and the spring rolls were soo fresh and crunchy. Will definitely be back. read more

Another diamond in the rough. Unexpected location in an area where restaurants and businesses are nowhere to be found, pushing the door sends you to a different universe.

I recently dined at Ruuthai's and had an exceptional experience. The pho, summer rolls, and P7 dish were all incredibly delicious. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family. I highly recommend Ruuthai's for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine.

I ordered the 'drunken noddles' with Extra pork from the place. And the food was not very good at all! The noodles were too mushy and over cooked. *This review is strictly on the dish I had, not my overall experience with this place. The portions were good and plenty, but unfortunately the food on the other hand was just not tasty. At all! read more

It is hard to find AUTHENTIC Thai food but this is it!!! I'm always looking because I fell in love with Thai food when I was in Thailand. Ruuthai's is So amazingly delicious. Because they are authentic their spice level is higher, so make sure you're a little more cautious about the spice level you ask for "hot" here is triple hot. But that is like Thailand! It is little hole in the wall kind of place with the BEST food!!! You have to check it out. read more

I was in the area and craving thai food. I saw this restaurant on yelp. I got here at 1:30 pm on Saturday. The place was empty. I think the place is divey. I ordered the chicken pad thai lunch special. It came with a choice of either spring rolls, soup or salad. I choose the coconut soup with my meal. It cost $10.95 reasonable for the amount of food you get. The pad thai tasted great and their soup was so good. The service is great as well. The place is small but can accommodate a small group. read more

My Favorite Thai for take out in the area. If you ask for spicy, it will be. Drunken Noodles Chicken & coconut soup is my go to.

Not my favorite. The summer rolls were stuffed to the brink with slightly stale looking iceberg lettuce. The sauce was good though. And my pad see ew had noodles that were still white inside, so not fully sauced or cut up. They do give you a lot of food though. The coconut soup wasn't as creamy as other places I've gotten it. read more

My coworker and I went here for work this week. The food was so good. Sorry, no pictures. We had the lunch special which came with an appetizer and entree. We both had crispy spring rolls which were hot and delicious. I had the chicken drunken noodles and she had tofu drunken noodles. We both enjoyed. I will definitely be back. read more

The best Thai in our area, drunken noodles and pad Thai are absolutely delicious and the crab rangoons and shumai are divine.

Disappointed. We were hungry after driving 8 hours on a rainy day. I ordered spring rolls and thom kai soup. The soup was just ok. The spring rolls were boring. 2 pieces of shrimp, leaf lettuce, some noodles-very bland. SO ordered udon noodles/tofu ruithai noodles. Again very bland. Yelp let me down! read more

Yup, this is authentic Thai food. It did not blow me away, but it meets the right expectations. The drunken noodles are cooked well, one time they did put a little too much sugar in it (though that might be from their beef). It tasted perfect when I ordered it with chicken. The chicken coconut soup is not what I am usually accustomed to. They add tomatoes and onions, which are okay, but the broth is not as creamy and not spicy. It is on the light tasting side. I don't know which is supposed to be more authentic, but I do like the creamier, spicy version and wish they had it. One big plus is the portion size, when ordering dinner, the drunken noodles can definitely be split into two servings. I think lunch is a little bit smaller, but it comes with a starter. This is good, since there are a handful of Thai restaurants in this area, and this is a good reason to go to Ruuthai's instead. read more

How could I have never done a review for this place? I'm here every time I'm in the area, and will go out of my way for the takeout (and I live right around the corner from another Thai restaurant). For now it's only takeout or delivery, but when it opens up again you'll enjoy the colorfully compact space. Here, everything is consistently good. The duck curry is 2 pepper hot, which just adds a nice pop to the coconut milk, pineapple, cherry tomatoes and tender duck pieces. I'd never had larb before, but CT Bites raved about it. Ruuthai's is an intense, vividly salty version topped with mint leaves. The coconut soup has large slices of chicken, mushroom and tomato quarters - a perfect lunch for a hot day. I can usually find sago in coconut milk and corn or custard topped with kabocha desserts, but alas, they were sold out. They did make me a quick sliced mango and sticky rice while I waited - it must have been that sad look on my face. This place is a hidden gem. read more

I ordered takeout through the yelp app and my food was ready for pickup as soon as I walked in. This place is a gem! I ordered summer rolls, drunken noodle, and basil fried rice with chicken. The fried rice isn't mine so I can't make a review on that. However, I received two summer rolls and honestly, I could only manage to eat one or else I would've been too full to eat my drunken noodle. The portion sizes are big. I didn't get through my entire meal because it was so much. I'll post photos. The summer rolls are delicious and fresh from the veggies inside. The peanut sauce was excellent, the perfect consistency. My drunken noodle, which I got medium heat was cooked to perfection. The basil leaves spread throughout the meal were a treat (I love Thai basil). I'll definitely order from here again! read more
