Editorial Review for Ruen Pair – by Martha Burr

In Short
Located inside a mini-mall best known for being the original home of the "Thai Elvis," this airy, wood-toned spac is marked by a colorful altar overlooking vintage Bangkok photos, folk paintings and rattan lanterns, while families seeking authentic cuisine and Hollywood foodies gather throughout day and night. Popular dishes include coconut chicken soup, green papaya salad with salty black crab, noodles with squid and morning glory, fried green mussels, duck stew and spicy red curry.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

The restaurant's sign on the mall listing board is only in Thai--look for the mall just east of the huge two-storey Thailand Plaza. Parking is only a nominal fee with validation.

What to Drink

Thai ice tea and coffee are potent and sweet, or try tropical favorites like longan juice or young coconut juice. There's no beer or wine but corkage is free.

The Extras

At the cashier, patrons can buy bags of Thai sweets such as mango with chile, and sweet dried banana.

User Reviews for Ruen Pair

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Authentic Thai food with authentic prices. Excellent, fast service without long queue. Our all time favourites: morning glory, omelette and green curry. Simple, down to earth. But a tad small in space.

Pros: Authentic food, Authentic prices

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Excellent authentic Thai! Not much in the decor or entertainment department, but you don't go to this place for the Elvis impersonator -- you go for the Hundred Year Old Eggs which are amazing. Try them, I dare you!
