Best

took my sister here for dinner, restaurant was totally empty no one inside but it took the waitress a good 15 minutes to come to our table and take out order, then when we got our...

Worst

Ew they put the to-go rice in a plastic baggie and it turned to a gross solid mass. Ruined the meal. What were they thinking?

User review by tracy621 12/4/2005

The place is homey and clean. The food is authentic and their presentation is unique. I always like trying new places so I only have a handful of restaurants that I would go back after the first time because I KNOW what I will get and KNOW I will be satisfied. This is one of that handful bunch. You should go! Pros: Clean and Tidy, Great Food, Parking more

No service, yet tip added. Customer Beware! 12/4/2005

After reading so much positive reviews, we tried out the lunch yesterday. The food tastes good, and it would be ideal if you only want an extremely light meal. Both Thaifood Restaurants on Shattuck offer much more food for the same dish. We, a group of five, received no service what-so-ever during the lunch. Yet the check includes 18% after tax tip, and surely the waitress does not bother to explain it, and when the credit card receipt comes, here is the tip column again. Customer Beware! Pros: Thai food Cons: Service, Automatic tip, Too light for dinner more

UNFORGETTABLE ONE 9/5/2004

I went to ruen pair with my first date about 1 months ago and we just notice that we want more of their food we become their regular customer now. This place is awsome, the first time we ask very hot the waitstaff warn us about the spicy but we donot listen so, IF you order hot so be warn (I am serious)next we go for medium. the waitstuff is very nice. If you live in the neighbor you will know that a lot customer are from around town, this is not a touris place. Issan grilled pork and papaya sald is very good, the waitstuff recomed to eat papaya salad with pad thai(mix withpeanut, chiliflake and a bit of lime) i thing is very good combination. Pros: parking lot, friendly service more

My Favorite Thai 8/16/2004

This place rocks! I find myself craving their Tom Kha Gai and their Issan Grilled Pork regularly. My boyfriend can't get enough of their curries. Basically, everything that we have ordered has been fabulous. Very authentic - spicy, tangy, sweet, but balanced. Not that late-night-noodle-house-all-sweet-and-mushy thing. The servers are very nice, and there is a very friendly siamese cat in the parking lot to help you with your leftovers. Pros: Great Food, Lunch and Dinner more

Best Thai food in the Bay Area 4/13/2003

I love going to this place. My friends told me about it and I just had to try it. The food is just plain yummy! I love spicy food, but when you order "spicy" here, BEWARE! SPICY MEANS SPICY! It's not the watered down version "spicy" most of us get at other Thai restaurants. I always order the Pad Kee Mao and Issan Grilled Beef and sometimes the Tom Ka Gai soup if I go with friends. Anyone who likes REAL spicy Thai food should try it! Pros: Real Spicy!, Cool People!, Parking lot! Cons: None! more

The Best Thai In The East Bay 10/30/2002

Ruen Pair became my absolute favorite Thai restaurant after our first visit and has maintained that standing on the billion or so visits I've dragged my husband on since - quite a feat as I am a Thai addict and have lots of ""favorites"" for it to compete with. The waitstaff is courteous and attentive, the place is nice, and the wine list is small but good, but it's the food that's truly amazing. The Jungle Curry is the best curry I've ever had, and they don't skimp on the veggies and tofu in the vegetarian dishes. I wouldn't recommend the Raw Blue Crab And Papaya Salad - my husband, who is more adventurous than most, ordered it and couldn't eat more than one bite. I couldn't even eat one. We ended up sharing my veggie Pad Kee Mao, which was fine as it was both huge and excellent. Pros: Reasonable Prices, Great Service, Parking Lot more
