This is, by far, one of the best Thai restaurants in the Twin Cities! Having moved from Portland, OR where I felt good Thai food was unparalell to any other place in the US - I am happy to say, because of Ruam Mit, the Twin Cities offers equally delicious cuisine. The food is phenomenal and for those truly familiar with Thai food, it is quite authentic. I've heard that it's history of ownership and quality have been a little tumultuous, but since it's reopening and with the management under the original award winning owner, it exceeds all of my expectations of a fabulous family-owned restaurant. The service is quite unique to that of any family-owned restaurant - very good, friendly and passionate to serve good food and hopefully bring back returning customers. But, as with any other family-owned restaurant, can easily be challenged due to an unpredictable sudden rush of customers or take out orders. I advise everyone dining here to be flexible, take your time and just enjoy the dining experience of a genuine family restaurant. It isn't, afterall, a high-end - commercially owned wine and dine elite five star restaurant. Finally, a note about parking - it's downtown St. Paul. What do you expect? Besides, there is a cheap parking lot right next door to the building. In the end, it is all worth it for the great food!!!
Pros: Delicious and authentic Thai food, diverse menu with many choices to choose from
Cons: Ambience

I really wanted to like this place. But after ordering takeout a couple of days ago, I really felt I had to write a review about this place. While I do have to say that the Pad Thai flavors/spices were good, the meat we had in both dishes was downright horrible. The pork in the Pad Thai was chewy and hard to swallow. The chicken we had in the Pra Rham Long Song was tough and practically dried out. I wanted to like this place. But with the horrible food and the outrageous prices you have to pay for some Thai food here, I'm just going to stick with the local Chinese place that does delivery for the time being. I can't wait for the St. Paul Sawatdee to reopen down the street. Hopefully I'll have better luck there.
Pros: none
Cons: Impossible to find street parking at night. Over an hour wait for takeout.
