April 4, 2025 Visit 2 Kayla barely acknowledged us. 0 stars. The way she carried herself tonight was not approachable-she had an aura of attitude about her that I found quite unattractive. She was preoccupied w/ her closing procedures & socializing with the girls. Surprisingly, she paid more attention to the table next to us more. A male serve noticed us & I had to let him know blatantly how we hadn’t seen her in “ages.” My husband, the empath, always feels giving even to those who don’t deserve-so I had to “steal” the tab from him & pay. I openly say in this review, I did not provide a tip, as we did not receive good service this evening. Towards the end when Kayla approached us, seemingly wanting to close out to get out of there (she was wiping black books-again, probably focused on getting cut so she can start her weekend) she appeared disingenuous & unenthused. Zillenials certainly show their colors when in the working world; here’s a tip: that silver spoon isn’t gonna be there to pave your way in life forever kids.

March 28, 2025 Visit 1 First time visitors to Ruam Mit & a second generation Khon Lao soht Thai fluent speaking diner. Tyler is an excellent server. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He’s funny, charismatic, attentive & informative; & he speaks & understands Lao. Wish I took photos of our supper, which I normally do, but I was so hungry that I didn’t & dove right in. Ruam Mit is in a cute spot, parking isn’t terrible to find & the street fees aren’t terrible. The Passport app was a little complex, Tyler assisted with that (you have to add the code 651 then your zone number). The atmosphere is adorable-cute cozy date spot & prices are reasonable. I appreciate the single stall restrooms & how they’re kept tidy too. //

$18 Thum Mak Hoong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ perfect blend of sweet & savory, I like it Lao style hence ordering the thum mak hoong & not the som thum. I’m not huge on indulging in the lettuce part of it all when it comes to thum, so I feel like the quantity of it is a waste-had I known the amount it comes with, (if I had known it came with any at all) I’d have 86’d it, so the kitchen didn’t waste any, but otherwise it’s great. Could use an optional side of kiep moo aka chicharrones aka pork rinds.

Surprise! Also comes with seen savanh aka jerky! One of my favs growing up! Sweet & crispy, done perfectly & pairs so well with the complimentary sticky rice.

$18 Nam Khao ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not terrible, little dry. I don’t like peanuts in my nam khao but they can easily be picked out. I like the textures, but the flavor here could’ve been amped up a lil bit more. Still very good. Maybe could use more pork too.
