"We were craving Thai food and happened to come across Rua Thai on our trusty Yelp app. My husband ordered Massaman curry chicken lunch special with dumplings and I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and spring rolls lunch special. The food was delicious. The flavor was impeccable and was balanced right. The service was top notch and the ladies were nice. The atmosphere was very nice and comfy. We loved the decor with the cute lamps, flowers, and embroidered pillows. This is a nice place for a date."

"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."

"I had such a great experience here. Every dish was packed with flavor and plated so beautifully. The roasted duck was tender with crispy skin, and the sauce was super rich and savory. The fried patties were crunchy on the outside and juicy inside - perfect with the dipping sauce."

"Really great Thai spot in Brooklyn! The food was full of flavor and everything tasted super fresh. We tried the Mala Wings, Tom Yum Soup, Drunken Noodles, and the Teriyaki Steak — all amazing! The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was cozy but stylish. Perfect for a casual dinner or date night 🍜💛 Highly recommend if you’re around Smith Street!"

"During my recent visit to Rua Thai in Brooklyn, I was impressed by the perfect combination of a cozy atmosphere and attentive service. The restaurant's interior, designed in Thai style, exudes warmth, making it a welcoming space suitable for both casual dining and special events. From the appetizer menu, we tried the Shrimp Donuts, which were wonderfully creamy, accompanied by a sauce that was truly delicious, along with the most exquisite Cheesy Crab Rangoon. For the main course, the Kai Tod Had Yai special was beautifully prepared, flaky, and seasoned to perfection. They even adjusted the spice level of the Rua Volcano to be milder just for us, and it was delightful. The team at Rua Thai demonstrated remarkable attentiveness. Our server offered valuable suggestions, quickly refilled our drinks, and made certain that our dining experience was pleasant. I highly recommend Rua Thai Restaurant."
