Tried Rua Thai for the first time and had a great experience overall. One dish that really stood out was Pad Sa Tor (stink bean stir-fry). I had never tried stink beans before, and the server kindly explained what it was. It’s definitely a unique flavor — a little funky but surprisingly fragrant and very savory. The pork was stir-fried with shrimp paste, which added a lot of depth, and it paired extremely well with rice. Different from what I usually order, but I’m really glad I tried it.
We also ordered the shrimp donut as an appetizer, which was crispy and delicious when dipped in the sweet chili sauce. The yaowarat duck was flavorful with crispy skin, and the pad see yu had great wok flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared.
Overall, the food felt authentic, the service was friendly, and the menu had a lot of interesting options beyond the typical Thai dishes. Definitely a place I’d come back to if I’m craving Thai food with bold flavors.

We love the interior environment of this restaurant!! It’s so pretty and elegant. Our favorite dish is the Gra-Praw Over Rice. I recommend everyone to try it! The Tom Yum Soup is creamy and super flavorful! The mama instant noodle and crab curry are okay. Overall we had a great experience. The waitresses are all very nice!

Came here for a fun night out and RUA Thai delivered great atmosphere and food. The vibe is lively and really does feel like a Bangkok street stall. We loved the Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns—the instant noodle cup presentation was as tasty as it was fun, and the prawns were juicy. The Pineapple Fried Rice with Softshell Crab was also a standout, with the crispy crab adding a fantastic texture. The Appetizer Sampler is perfect for trying a bit of everything, and the Duck Crepe was a flavorful start. A solid choice for a casual, flavorful meal with friends!

Felt like stepping into Thailand the moment we walked in—beautiful Thai-inspired decor and a very relaxing vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive. We loved the chicken satay, Tom Yum Soup with Tofu (mild, warm, and comforting), and the Mama Tom Yum served right in the cup . The Duck Yaowarat was tender, flavorful, and perfect with rice. Overall, a chill and satisfying Thai dining experience.

Decor is super cute- traditional elements and lots of color and florals
Staff is very friendly and attentive
Food is delicious. Thai iced tea was great. Green curry with chicken very tasty. I had as is, so spice was a little more than medium. Spring rolls had nice crunch and the sauce had great flavor. The peanut dressing for the salad was light and tasty.
Overall, great lunch experience. Would come again if I’m in the area.

Finally found the Thai spot we’ve been craving in BK! Rua Thai’s vibe is cozy and fun (floating market inspo is so cool), and the food is next-level fresh. Shrimp donuts were crispy perfection, Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns had insane flavor and spice, and the drunken noodles were loaded and wok-tossed just right. Friendly service, great portions. We’ll be regulars now. ️ Highly recommend to anyone hunting for authentic Thai in Brooklyn!

If you’re getting tired of the usual Thai dishes, this spot near Dumbo is such a fun surprise. Definitely has that street-food vibe, basically heaven for anyone who loves fried goodies and carbs.
Royal Pineapple Fried Rice
Came here mainly for this and it did not disappoint. The pineapple is sweet and fragrant, and the soft-shell crab and fried shrimp are super crispy. The cashews add a nice touch too, wish they were a bit crunchier, but overall the dish is addictive.
Shrimp Donut
Dip it in the sweet & sour sauce and it’s perfect.
Crab Curry
Crispy soft-shell crab with yellow curry is already a win, but mixing it with rice is when you realize there’s so much crab meat hidden at the bottom. Extremely satisfying.
Rua Volcano
Thai version of sweet & sour chicken, comforting and so easy to enjoy.
Mango Sticky Rice
The sticky rice is soft, sweet, and rich because the coconut milk is fully cooked into it. Only downside is that it’s not mango season, so the mango wasn’t the sweetest, but now I finally understand why this dessert is often “summer only” at many restaurants.

Loved everything ordered here! The Pad Krapow Pork was super flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the Thai Tea Pad Thai was such a fun twist — rich, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. The Leaf Pudding was light, fragrant, and a really unique way to end the meal. Cozy vibe and great Thai comfort food.

RUA Thai in Cobble Hill is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and the food truly delivered.
The Crab curry was the standout—perfectly crispy soft shell
crab paired with a rich, fragrant curry that was full of depth without being overwhelming. The chicken drunken noodles were also excellent: savory, well-balanced, and packed with flavor, with tender chicken and just the right amount of heat. We started with the crab rangoons, which were light, crispy, and generously filled—honestly some of the best I’ve had.
Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the portions were very satisfying. RUA Thai is easily one of the best Thai spots in the area, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you’re in Cobble Hill and craving quality Thai food. ️

Amazing Thai spot in Brooklyn! The Tomyum grilled river prawns were flavorful and beautifully presented, and the teriyaki fried rice with steak and egg came sizzling hot and perfectly seasoned. Great Thai tea too — rich and creamy. Cozy vibe and super friendly staff. Definitely coming back! ✨
