Reviews Ruay-Ruay
Stumbling upon Ruay-Ruay while exploring Bangkok was a delightful surprise. The fun, vibrant decor catches the eye, and the food is equally impressive. The dishes are spicy, so it's wise to inform the staff if you prefer less heat. With a little adjustment, the meals can be perfect for those not accustomed to Thai spice levels.
If you're a fan of spicy food, Ruay-Ruay is the place for you. The elevated Thai stir-fried basil dishes, especially the beef and pork krapaos, are packed with flavor and spice. However, if your spice tolerance is low, be sure to request a milder version. The restaurant offers a variety of meat options, making it a great spot for adventurous eaters looking for an affordable yet delicious meal.
Ruay-Ruay is a hidden gem in Bangkok's Pathum Wan district, offering a unique twist on traditional Thai cuisine. Despite the lack of air conditioning, the flavorful dishes make it worth the visit. Their basil fried rice with exotic meats like crocodile is a must-try, and while the wait can be long due to a single chef, the quality of the food justifies the delay. The vibrant Thai street-style decor adds to the authentic experience.

The quality of food at 71 Mookata is decent, with prices that won't break the bank. While the dipping sauce is heavy on MSG, it's to be expected. Be prepared for a bit of a wait during dinner hours, as it can take around 30 minutes to get seated.

Kemuri
Banthat Thong Restaurants
The Pork & Beef Sukiyaki and charcoal-grilled dishes are decent, though the service can be slow. The Kemuri wagyu don stands out and is recommended. They offer convenient sets for one person, complete with rice and side dishes. Note that advance reservations are available only for the 5 PM table.
