Ruam Mit Thai

Many rave about this restaurant but I can't forget that all 4 times I've been there the service has been horrible. The servers are very inefficient and forget requests, if they come by to take them at all. The food is good and has items not seen on other Twin Cities Thai menus. The lunch buffet is good but small and sometimes suffers from not being replenished. Maybe I'm being picky but it is also extremely annoying that they have a very loud cordless telephone that constant rings in the center of the restaurant. Letting it ring 10-20 times per call before picking it up all throughout the meal is enough to make me not go back. I hope they get their act together because they could be really good. Pros: food is good Cons: service, service, inconsistent more

My wife and I have been on a Pad Thai quest for the last couple of years. Ruam Mit makes the best Pad Thai around. They also have fantastic eggrolls served with a peanutty sauce that makes for a craving only they can satifsy. Another person rating Ruam Mit mentioned bad service. I agree, but the food is so good that I would go there even if I had to serve myself. Pros: Food, Price Cons: Parking, Ambience, Service more

The food here was pretty good, but the service was terrible. We went before the Ordway on a Tuesday nite, allowing an hour and a half for a nice leisurely dinner. We waited a full 20 minutes, everyone else in the place had been served. I finally had to go ask to have our order taken and was snottily told ""yeah, yeah, I'm coming"". Asked for tea after dinner and never got it. We just barely made the show. However, my husband's pad prig khing with chicken was fabulous, with fresh crunchy green beans and my pad thai with shrimp was good, but not great. Pros: good value Cons: lousy service more

Decent, but nothing special thai. Doesn't deserve to be in the top 10. more

I'm so sad that I don't live downtown anymore, as this was one of my favorite spots. I know a lot of people complain about the service, but I've always gotten takeout so I could eat at home while watching movies. This is the BEST Thai food in the Twin Cities! I love the Curry Puffs, the Special Egg Rolls and the Satay and have, on many occasions, made a meal out of appetizers only! I also love the flavor of the Holy Basil Fried Rice (#52). The Pad Thai is exceptional, and I've never been disappointed by any of the entrees I've tried. If you're gonna be in downtown St. Paul, you MUST eat here!!! more
