This restaurant was great! Great customer service, decor, drinks, and food. Presentation is everything. Bas was a great host. Loved the music.

This newly opened restaurant in Brooklyn creates a flavorful tale, by combining family tradition and inspiration from the floating markets of Thailand. We opted for the Shrimp Donuts, Colossal Crab Fried Rice, Duck Crepes and Crying Tiger. And each dish was phenomenal! The staff is kind and service is great. Be sure to add this place to your list!

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.

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.

Rua Thai is a delightful spot for those seeking authentic Thai cuisine with a contemporary flair. Whether you're a local or visiting Brooklyn, it's worth a stop to savor its unique offerings.

I don’t know where to start, this is a place you must definitely check out. We whr lucky to go there around the time they launched new items on the drinks menu and absolutely fell in love with the spicy mango 🥭. I had the duck yaowarat where you get duck marinated in a delicious gravy with mushrooms and butterfly pea soaked rice 🤤, worth every penny. Of course we can’t go to a Thai place and not try the pineapple fried rice 😁. Can’t even say enough because we loved everything we tried and the ambience was so soothing and homely. Felt like a trip to Thailand with their floating market themed ambiance ❤️. And everything comes together perfectly with amazing customer service for which we will definitely keep coming back for again and again. We found ourselves a hidden gem 💎
