Ruean Phae Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Tried Ruan Thai again on Sunday 28th May to give it the benefit of the doubt but ended up walking out. We were waiting over an hour for just one dish to share and there were only 3 tables. taken with customers. Another customer asked about the delay on their meals. The staff should let you know when you're seated if there's a delay especially if over an hour.

Unfortunately we won't be going back. - there are plenty of other fab Thai restaurants to visit.

Last nights experience was worthy of much lower rating. Totally different experience. Waited an hour for Pad Thai and watery Yellow Chicken Curry - different chef to normal. Waiting staff forgot water, didn't advise a long wait for food. If it was my first visit I wouldn't bother going back.

Excellent experience here. Felt like I was in Thailand (esp. with the heat!). Food was delicious and ridiculously cheap for the quality. What made it for me were the staff, the two FOH ladies were attentive, amazing and have great personalities so made our evening really special. Our first visit here but definitely will be back again and again and again! Obviously a popular place for takeaway too as heaps of people were picking up whilst we were there and sounded like they...

I live next door to this restaurant and I love their food. I used to order at least 1 time per week if not more. The people working there are very lovely. I had my birthday dinner there and I invited 12 people to go eat there and when we went to pay the bill, we wanted to pay individually and the lady at the counter charged us 1 dollar extra per transaction because it takes longer. I think that is really unfair because if each of us had gone by ourselves it would have taken the same ammount of time if not more. I work in hospitality and I know how a big group can be annoying but I made sure everyone knew what they were ordering before the lady came to take it so it would not waste her time. I will not be going back. At the place I work, when there is someone celebrating their birthday with us we give them a special treat or something, we dont make it...

A Charming Thai Spot with Great Food & a Unique Setting

My husband, Hugh, and I have dined at Ruean Phae Thai Restaurant a few times, and it’s always been a solid choice for great Thai food. The menu has all the classics you’d expect, and the flavors never disappoint. Plus, the staff are wonderfully friendly, which always adds to the experience.

One of the most interesting things about this place is its location—it’s got to be one of the last remaining original houses in the area, surrounded by towering woolstore apartments and modern buildings. It looks a bit out of place, but that’s part of its charm!

It’s a handy go-to spot if you live nearby, though I will say the prices are on the higher side. That said, if you’re after delicious Thai food in a quirky, historic setting, it’s worth...
