Rua Thai

Modern Thai Inspired by Floating Market Cuisine.
Thai Restaurant in Brooklyn NY

ABOUT
Rua Thai pays homage to the famed floating markets of Ratchaburi, Thailand where Chef Kornpon Theeraumpornkul grew up. Our name Rua translates as “rowboat” and refers to the boats where vendors like chef’s family plied their goods on the canals of the market. The menu’s contemporary style of cooking combines the real flavors of street food with the bustling energy of the floating markets. On the menu, you’ll find unique dishes inspired by those his family sold in the market alongside modern takes of Thai favorites. We also have a full bar with signature cocktails. Delivery in Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and surroundings.

      CHEF
      "From the Floating Markets to Brooklyn — The Heart Behind RUA”

      Our head chef was born and raised in a small town Ratchaburi, where the floating markets weren’t just a place to shop — they were the heartbeat of the community. Mornings were spent watching his grandmother ladle fragrant curries from a tiny boat. Afternoons were for helping prep herbs while the river breeze carried the scent of lemongrass and grilled fish. It wasn’t fancy. It was alive.

      That’s the soul he brings to RUA. 

      More than just a restaurant, RUA is a tribute to those roots — the balance of chaos and calm, of sweet and spicy, of old-school Thai flavors with a fresh Brooklyn rhythm. Every plate is inspired by the dishes that floated down the canals of his childhood — now reimagined with local ingredients, seasonal produce, and a whole lot of heart.

      We’re not here to reinvent Thai food. We’re here to honor it, with fire, flavor, and the stories that make it unforgettable.
      Come hungry. Leave changed.
