Is this place open???

Diner Review №2

Called a few times during open hours. Someone picked up once but immediately hung up. Curious if they’re still in business

Diner Review №3

My fav take-out. Thank you for having so many vegetarian options!!

Diner Review №4

Diner Review №5

Ruam Mitr is one of the most slept-on Thai places in town. I think about their appetizer wings all the time.

Diner Review №6

One of the best Thai places around, amazing fake chicken options

Diner Review №7

The food is absolutely amazing!! 👏 Very nice ambiance and friendly staff. Loved it, we will come again for sure.

Diner Review №8

I was very excited to try this place as it came highly recommend by friends but when I placed an order online I honestly felt ripped off. The roti and curry came with a tiny cup of curry which was not even enough for 3 pieces of the roti.

While it tasted fine the audacity to provide 2 tablespoons of curry for 13 dollars is insulting and ruined my entire dinner. You could have at least filled the entire cup instead of going half way.

The pad Thai with chicken was decent enough though.

Diner Review №9

Great real Thai restaurant with great service.
Must try grilled fish fillet with tamarind sauce and fried rice with crab meat

This is the best Thai Food in town. When I'm looking for Thai food, I always order from here. They are fast but always consistent with their cooking!

Diner Review №13

Seriously best Thai I’ve had in a long time. Incredible flavors, so fresh, with high quality ingredients. Literally couldn’t say a single bad (or even mediocre) thing. It all was amazing. We got several things each in a group of 6 people and all of us were so happy with each dish. You can’t go wrong. Great service too! Will definitely be back anytime we’re in town.

Diner Review №14

The food was absolutely amazing, it blew me away! It had lots of fantastic vegetarian options! The place had a great atmosphere and lots of nice plants and decor! The staff was super genuine and friendly ! Would definitely recommend trying this place out!

Diner Review №23

This place is a gem! Stopped in to have dinner and avoid rush hour. Their Tom kha soup was awesome! The people running the place are super kind too. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

Tom yum soup is too sweet and too greasy…. Perhaps the greasiest soup i ever tasted.

Diner Review №26

Couldn't tell the atmosphere too well vecause it was takeout

Diner Review №27

This place exemplifies what it means to be both local yet authentic to their roots. I really respect the owner and the associated staff. They know all the sources of their ingredients and work tirelessly to serve only the best to their customers. Really enjoyed the crispy fish in tamarind sauce and as far as mango sticky rice goes... This place has the best! Give them a shot.

Diner Review №28

We love Thai food! One of our best meals during our LA trip was to @ruammitr_melrose !! The food was delicious! I’m still dreaming of the duck curry over their coconut rice or Pad Kee mow!! Don’t get me started on the fish! so yummy!

Great ambiance, friendly service, and great food- what more do you need? I can't wait to come back and try their wings!

Diner Review №29

Very very good, super flavourful. Had the tiger beef and basil fried rice, I would highly recommend!

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

Amazing food

Diner Review №34

This place was hands down the best Thai restaurant in Los Angeles during the height of the Pandemic. I used to order this Green Curry dish every 4 days. Recently in the last 3 months the green curry dish has had no flavor and tastes like dirty dishes, what happened? it was amazing before, now it is bland and gross. Please make it good again.

Diner Review №35

Never had duck Pad Thai before, but can't wait until next time. Excellent food, little pricey though, but you would expect that given the neighborhood.

Diner Review №36

We had take out tonight and it was wonderful! The flavors were so good. Everything was fresh and I can not wait for our next order!

THE BEST vegan Thai food that I’ve had in Los Angeles - pad krapow is great, friendly staff, delicious wings

Diner Review №45

Food was fantastic and the staff were extremely attentive and kind. Worth supporting folks and food like these!

Diner Review №46

Super friendly employees and an amazing menu! We struggled to decide what to order because of all the options, especially with all these vegetarian options. Food seemed extremely authentic tasting and was very flavorful. Only critique I have is that I wished it was spicier, but that’s something I should have asked for myself.

Diner Review №47

Best Thai food in LA, hands down. Incredible service. They are not kidding around with spice, so just know that. Very accommodating to vegetarians. I’ve been looking for cream cheese wontons without imitation crab forever!

Diner Review №48

Good food. Cozy vibes. Great service.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Great flavors, and friendly staff. My boyfriend and I had a reservation for a table outside and they accommodated us. Although you really don't need to reserve. Small place, went there on a Monday around 7, not too busy. We ordered 2 appetizers the spicy cauliflower and the garlic edamame both good. Spicy cauliflower was really spicy, if you do not like spice might not be for you. Then I had the yellow curry and ordered a side of rice. All delicious 😋

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Both of the woman who work here just yelled at me and were very rude and unprofessional. Not only was it embarrassing for me but it was embarrassing for them as customers were sitting and looking.

Diner Review №61

Slow but tasty

Diner Review №62

The Worst! The Shrimp Pad Thai flavor was difficult to categorize. Not fresh not flavorful not sweet, just weird. Worst meal I’ve had in years and it was expensive! Fried Spring Rolls were dense and the sauce was basically Karo syrup with a little color in it. The meal cost $27-horrible!! Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Diner Review №63

Ruam Mitr is hands down one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Los Angeles! I’ve tried my fair share of Thai restaurants and nothing quite compares. The food is always hot, delicious, and ready on time! I would highly recommend the Pad Kra Prow and the tofu appetizer. They are able to cater most dishes to meet your dietary needs.

Diner Review №64

Excellent fresh food

Diner Review №65

Absolutely fantastic basil fried rice and orange chicken!! Service was great!!

🥡•TAKEOUT•THURSDAY•🥢🥡
It’s Thursday and we’re hoping you’re doing takeouts today!!

🥡 we think Thai food, besides Vietnamese food, is the ultimate takeout food because they are easily boxed and ready to serve once we’re home. And fried rice is the ultimate comfort food. So we encourage you to order takeouts 🥡 today, better yet order Thai food, & best yet order fried rice from Ruam Mitr on Melrose.

🥡 We had a chance to try a couple of dishes here before the latest lockdown. Their food was fresh and bursting with flavors. So yumm!! You just need to trust us and order their food today. You’ll fall in love with their food, too 🥰.

Diner Review №85

Obsessed with this place! I left a review on Yelp a while back, but have to leave another one here after tonight’s meal. :) Had friends over and we picked up Ruam Mitr, and they were all raving about. The yellow curry is dope. The roti is incredible (very doughy, which I love). The cashew nut dish is so flavorful. I get it spicy. Drunken noodles are always yummy. And the vegan options are my favorite. Vegan boneless wings are crack. And the staff is great. This place is my #1!

Best Thai food ever !

Diner Review №107

I really wanted to like this place but it just didn’t work at all. The curries are not authentic and the ‘veggie’ chicken is disgustingly sweet and taste synthetic. The staff are super friendly though!

Diner Review №108

This is a quaint little restaurant on Melrose and is easily one of the best thai restaurants I've been to in LA. We ordered the beef pad krow, pad thai + thai tea. Thai tea was an absolute bomb. So were the other 2 dishes. We also got spicy wings and the sauce was extraordinary. This was our second time at this place and we'll just keep coming back for more.
Way to go guys! Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 this place is great! If you're looking for a authentic Thai meal this is your choice! Fantastic food good prices and nice toss all combines equal a fantastic experience. Located near West Hollywood off of Melrose a little Hidden Gem. This place is perfect for delivery and or dining in. Everything on the menu is fantastic make sure to ask your waiter if you have a question about the food or want some things spicier or Mild they are happy to accommodate.

Awesome food...love their Koi Soi

Diner Review №122

I ordered the spicy chicken fried rice. It was one of the better ones in LA. It was spicy, but not quite overpowering, but most importantly, it had good flavor. Usually when I order spicy fried rice, I inevitably reach for the sriracha, but the flavor balanced it out.

I'm definitely coming back and getting other items in the future.

*The only drawback (and this totally isn't their fault), Milkbar JUST opened on the other side of the block, so parking is difficult*

Diner Review №123

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! Had a horrible and absolutely unacceptable experience with them. We ordered our food around 7:30 after reviewing the ratings and based on the comments available. We also knew their delivery timeframe was 55 to 65 minutes. We even called after 20 minutes to make sure they had received our order, which they did. An hour and a half later, we started calling to see where the food is. Phone would ring once and then go into busy signal. I tried for 10 min. My wife tried from her phone. No answer. We called yelp representative. After a few minutes, they told us that the same thing was happening to them on the two phone numbers they had on their system for this restaurant. So we started to make a meal from scratch at 9:20 pm. Delivery guy shows up at 9:30, two hours after we placed the order and after we had cancelled our order from Yelp and started a meal. This is very frustrating. The issue is that this restaurant uses their own delivery person. Obviously overwhelmed with their orders, but the consequence is that my family has to go through this kind of frustration. In business, this is misrepresentation of the product, and combined with greed (not wanting to spend a few extra bucks to hire a second delivery person while wanting to get all the business), leads to loss of customers. Will never order from this place and will let all my friends know.

Has been pretty good Thai, which is hard to find in the states, however after cutting my gums quite badly tonight on some broken taken out packaging from some other order, combined with delivery driver trying to get us to go to the street to pick up our food, opinion of Ruan has dropped substantially. Ka pung kup

Diner Review №141

Yummy food! Order processing will take time as there are lot of take out orders. Also, expect mismatch cutlery per dish (like soup spoon with mango Ruam mitr) but food is delicious! Will definitely go there again.

Diner Review №142

Delicious vegan options.

Diner Review №143

It deserves 10 stars. Delicious food, individually made from scratch and very friendly service. My new favorite place!

Delicious delicious delicious. I moved to the neighborhood 2 weeks ago , I have already been here 5 times .
The food tastes fresh , the service is awesome ( family business) . I love every dish on the menu . I am hooked on the all about eggplant stir fry . Wow you have to try it , you’ll love it .

Diner Review №148

Good food and good lunch specials.

Diner Review №149

This will be our first time having Ruam Mitr, I will be giving them a high score for the customer service. I will review how the food was once we have finished eating. We ordered spicy noodle with beef and fried spring rolls, I'm excited as much as I am hungry.

Diner Review №150

I can’t give these guys enough praise. This is my go to Thai restaurant, not just Vegan Thai restaurant. It’s a family business and it shows in their attention to their clients. Every time I order a delivery, it gets there 10-15 min early. Several times now the delivery came with a toy for my dog, which was so incredibly sweet of them. My husband and I absolutely love this spot and order it at least once a week.
———
What I order (vegetarian/vegan) :
Vegan Hot wings (amazing even if not vegan!)
Sticky rice with green curry
Pad Thai w/ vegan chicken
Pad See Ew w/ vegan chicken

Diner Review №151

So happy they have a big selection of vegan food

Diner Review №152

Great vegan options. Love this place.

Diner Review №153

I was concerned when I learned that the ownership changed from Bulan to the current Ruam Mitr... but wow, it’s even better than it was before!

Same menu, plus additional items... along with a vegan menu & regular menu.

Delicious.

Hot Wings as an appetizer is a must
Khao Soi was amazing with the crispy noodles
Iced tea was refreshing
Friendly staff
Fast service
Inexpensive

Another amazing Thai spot to add to my list of faves! Came here with a Vegan friend and was stoked to find that they have two separate menus! One with meat and one without! I got the Chicken Kow Soi and he had the Cashew dish... whatever it is. We also shared egg rolls.
Super cute, super quaint and great food! Definitely will be coming back soon!

Diner Review №156

Good Thai restaurant with a vegan menu.

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Literally took 90 minutes for delivery, 35 more than they said it would. The food was cold and not very good as a result. It’s a shame because think if it were hot and fresh it would have been pretty good.

The hot wings were fun.

The yellow curry was tasty but not really a soup—better over rice. We selected the pepper steak but next time I would try something different.

The vegetable wraps were basically steamed salad wraps. They might be good in the restaurant but didn’t work with the long delivery.

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

This place is awesome. Really nice staff. There's a separate vegetarian menu. All the food is so good. We loved bulan and were sad to see it go, but this maybe better.

Diner Review №161

The spring rolls are amazing! Really good service and nice staff! (:

Diner Review №162

We stopped in today to check out this new place. The food was excellent! Truly delicious and they have vegetarian options to most of the dishes as well. We ordered the spicy fried rice with chicken and the yellow curry with tofu. Both tasty and nice portion sizes. We also ordered the grilled dumpling as an appetizer and it was melt in your mouth yummy! This will be one of my new go-to Thai spots. Great job:-)
