Ruam Mit brings a broad, flexible Thai menu to Saint Paul

What the public feedback says

Ruam Mit holds a Google rating of 4.5 from 1866 reviews, a strong signal for a Saint Paul Thai restaurant with a broad audience. Recent public comments repeatedly praise fresh preparation, flavorful food and a menu substantial enough to suit both regulars and first-time visitors. One returning diner was especially pleased to find the restaurant reopened in a new space, reporting that the food remained consistent with what they remembered.

The dining room also earns favorable mentions. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as attractive, personable and suitable for a relaxed group meal. The restaurant is listed as family friendly and offers takeaway, though the supplied reviews focus mainly on dining in.

Menu range and dietary flexibility

The clearest advantage is accommodation. Multiple reviewers report successful meals involving vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free or pescatarian needs. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are said to be clearly labeled, reducing some of the guesswork for mixed groups. One party had both a vegan diner and someone requiring gluten-free food, and reported that the kitchen handled both requests easily.

Spice can be selected on a scale from 0 to 5, giving diners useful control over each dish. That flexibility matters for groups whose tolerance levels differ. The menu extends beyond main courses, with reviewers noting appetizers, desserts, cocktails, mocktails, teas and lunch combinations.

Named favorites across the comments include khao new, matseman curry, tofu pad Thai, Rad Na and spring rolls with peanut sauce. A chicken and potato curry lunch special also drew approval alongside batter-fried vegetables and an eggroll. The overall pattern points toward a menu with enough noodles, curries and starters to support repeat visits.

Where expectations need managing

Sweetness may be the main flavor caveat. One reviewer found the matseman curry and another numbered dish sweeter than expected. That is a personal preference rather than a broad complaint, but diners who prefer savory or sharply spiced curries may want to ask how a dish is balanced.

Service reports are less consistent than the food feedback. One diner described service as only adequate and noted forgotten items, while another praised attentive service and a waiter’s familiarity with the previous menu. An isolated report also mentioned gnats briefly interrupting the meal.

Cost is another consideration. Although Ruam Mit falls in the mid-range category, one reviewer considered its plates and appetizers more expensive than those at a typical neighborhood Thai restaurant. The iced tea price was a particular surprise. That same diner still felt the food justified the overall cost.

Editorial take

Synthesizing the available ratings and reviews, Ruam Mit looks best for groups seeking Thai food without forcing everyone into the same spice level or dietary lane. Freshness, menu breadth and accommodation receive the most consistent praise. Service lapses and pricing concerns appear worth noting, but neither outweighs the restaurant’s strong public reputation or the enthusiasm surrounding its return.
