Rüen Thai - Khao San 58 in München

I've been here for lunch a few times now. It always tasted very good, especially the Thai red or green curry with duck or chicken. Price-wise still absolutely OOK. The dishes are fresh and beautifully presented. There is always rice on the side. Service is very courteous and quick. The only drawback would be that it is a bit dark in the rooms. Otherwise I'll come back for lunch or sometimes in the evening :-)

100% authentic like in Thailand. Super friendly service and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Very tasty and authentic Thai food. The ambience is very inviting, chic, cozy and also has an Asian flair thanks to the large Buddha. The service is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back!!!!

Amazing food and cocktails, great atmosphere and little hidden gem

Schönes Ambiente. Keine Standard Gerichte, schön für besondere Anlässe

Tolles Team und sehr guten Service! Essen ist wie in Thailand! Können wir nur empfehlen!

Zum zweiten Mal die Erfahrung eines sehr guten, genussvollen und vielfältigen Essens gemacht :) Der Service ist sehr freundlich, trotzdem sie nur zu dritt das ganze Lokal unterhalten müssen. Hut ab und großes Lob. Die Zufriedenheit des Gastes ist oberste Priorität. P.S. Leute, die sich schwer entscheiden können haben es nicht leicht, da sich alles auf der Karte unheimlich lecker anhört.Danke und Applaus

Too expensive and doesn't taste good as usual. I ate Pad Thai but I still only have half and half. I'm very sorry. The prices are very high. Service is good but prices and food only 1 star

Essen wie immer sehr lecker, leider war nur dieses Mal das Surf und Turf nicht so toll, da das Steak Medium bestellt wurde, aber durch ankam. Zudem waren ab ca. 22:00 nur noch wenige Gäste im Restaurant, wodurch die Servicekräfte uns unmissverständlich zum baldigen Gehen und Abkassieren aufgefordert hatten, obwohl das Restaurant eigentlich bis 24:00 geöffnet hatte. Dadurch wurde die Stimmung etwas getrübt, da unser Tisch erst auf 21:00 Uhr reserviert war. Schade!

Great atmosphere, unfortunately we weren't full despite the starter. There was hardly any meat on the duck. The fish as the main course was also only a small portion.

Absolutely fabulous every time. 😍 We have been going now for almost two years and the standard is very high and always consistent. Very good cocktails, very friendly service and of course, good food!

Phantastischer Service, extrem gute Cocktails und super leckeres Essen. Und das wiederholt. Was will man mehr für einen gelungenen Abend?

It was actually very good here, but also very expensive even by Munich standards (€70 per person). Given the prices, I don't just expect perfection, but an extraordinary experience beyond "restaurant". Therefore a star deduction. Have an excellent wine list!

Had reserved a table because it was our first time there. Delicious food, but: - thick cobwebs on the decoration - first table was still sticky because it wasn't wiped properly - were somewhat ignored by the service at the beginning, otherwise it is

Service war ausgezeichnet. Essen sehr lecker. Ecktisch ein bisschen klein.

Sehr gut, gute Portionen... gemütlich, guter Service Cocktails etwas klein....aber wir kommen gerne wieder

Very good cuisine and very friendly and courteous staff. It is a little more expensive but you are happy to pay for this quality.

Update 2024 This restaurant could be a reason to move to Munich. The kitchen is terrific! We enjoyed the excellent avocado salad as a starter, and as a main course the duck (original red curry with Thai basil) - ordered medium hot - was a poem. 2023 Interesting restaurant with very attentive service and excellent cuisine. Here “Thai spicy” is actually really spicy - and aromatic at the same time. Unfortunately, the wine prices are a bit out of control (compared to other quite high-priced restaurants).

Authentic Thai cuisine with generous portions made from freshly prepared ingredients, nice for special occasions. Very friendly staff

The food was good, although no longer as sophisticatedly prepared as it used to be when it was still Rüen Thai. The ambience left a lot to be desired. Modern cold furniture, kitschy Thailand graffiti on the wall and very annoying, monotonous and way too loud club music. I wanted to eat and not go dancing, so what's with this music with the penetrating beat for lunch? This has nothing to do with Thailand, just as it has nothing to do with a pleasant atmosphere in which to dine there. I don't expect something like that from a restaurant in this price category. Unfortunately, the former Rüen Thai, now Khao San, is no longer recommended

A very nice restaurant on the Schwanthalerhöhe, the food is really highly recommended and very good. The waiter was a little confused and came several times and always asked the same thing. Otherwise very friendly and also good cocktails.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Germany!! I'm always looking for good and authentic Thai food in Germany, which is hard to find. Our visit here exceeded our expectations, it tasted incredibly delicious and authentic! The Pad Thai, green curry and soups were outstanding!! The ambience is also great. One of the best addresses in Germany!

Absolutely great. There is no more worthwhile business lunch in Munich! 11 euros for the green curry is a great deal.

Ordered via a delivery service Excellent quality

Lovely folks, accommodating a birthday request, food was excellent. Nothing but positive vibes

Had amazing pad thai here...quite a nice and calm setting. Very Nice service. They have very good cocktails also

Great food and service! Crispy and fresh Thai food. Note , a bottle of still water is 8 euro...

Essen und Atmosphäre sind einfach toll :) Auch das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist ausgezeichnet, wir haben in München schon deutlich teurer und dafür schlechter Thailändisch gegessen. Auch der Service war sehr nett und es gab keine Wartezeiten. Klare Empfehlung, wir kommen gern bald wieder!

Super freundliches Personal und ausgezeichnete thailändische Küche 🤤👍🏻

Amazing food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Would love to visit again and would recommend to anybody looking for great thai food

A very nice restaurant with perfect service!

I went to this restaurant for dinner and was very pleased by the amazing service, delicious food and pretty location, which fits to both a romantic dinner but also to a lunch with friends. The restaurant personnel was very friendly and portions were quite big. We tried both meat (duck) and fish (cod) dishes, all very good. I can definetly reccomend this place

We had four different dishes and each was wonderful. The starters and desserts were also a heavenly delight. However, the prices are very high. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service is top!

The ambience is unique and really detailed. Looks even better in real life than in pictures. The service was also very nice and the glasses the drinks were in looked very fancy. I had a Pad Thai and I have to admit it tasted like any other restaurant. My fried shrimp tasted fishy (but I think that's just how they taste). The plum sauce is to die for. If I go to this restaurant I would rather eat the exceptional dishes. The other dishes like satay skewers etc. tasted pretty normal, so not exceptionally better than in other Asian restaurants, except that you get a small flame bowl (Looks cool but doesn't change the taste). If you don't like coriander, you should mention that beforehand.

Sehr gutes Essen, schönes Ambiente, guter Service. Wir kommen immer gerne!

Wir waren zum ersten Mal dorten und insgesamt sehr zufrieden ! Super essen, perfekter Service und das Ambiente hat uns auch sehr gut gefallen. Kleiner Tipp: Die 🌶️ auf der Karte sollte man ernst nehmen 😉

Unser erster Besuch bei einem Termin in München. Tolle umfangreiche Karte, jedoch hochpreisig. Kann diesen ersten Eindruck aber nur schwer halten. Leider einiges sehr fad gewürzt und ausgetrocknet. Luft nach oben. Die Präsentation der Spiesen ist aber TOP.

Very tasty Asian Negroni, excellent wine list, good food and top service. We had spring rolls, wontons, duck and salmon in coconut sauce both with 1 chilli rating. It was very flavorful. :) Recommended!

Sehr lecker Asian Negroni, hervorragende Weinkarte, gutes Essen und top Service. Wir hatten Frühlingsrollen, WanTan, Ente und Lachs in Kokossauce beide mit 1 Chili Bewertung. Es war sehr gut gewürzt. :) Empfehlenswert!

Very good food and attentive service. We enjoyed our meal.

Das Restaurant bietet wirklich leckeres Essen und ein sehr schönes Ambiente. Ich habe das Pad Thai und andere Gerichten probiert und es hat mir gut geschmeckt, auch wenn es etwas anders war, als ich es erwartet hatte. Die Portionen waren für den Preis leider ein wenig klein.

Das Essen war gut, aber nicht überdurchschnittlich. Grosser Punktabzug für fehlende Terrasse bei einem Sommerabend mit 26 Grad, ohne Hinweis auf Open Table, oder der Webpage. Weine eher gehoben/zu teuer

The food was OK across the board and I can recommend Khao San in bad weather. BUT: We had made a reservation for our team dinner for 6 people, on an (exceptionally beautiful and warm evening at 26 degrees). There was no indication on the website or on Open Table that the facade was being renovated and there were no outside seats. Disappointing!

My new favourite Thai restaurant in Munich. Very tasty food! Friendly staff as well.

For me one of the best Thai restaurants in Munich

Super delicious food and great attentive service. Absolute recommendation! We had the Green Curry with Mixed Seafood and Mix Meat Piset and thought it was phenomenal.

Alles Tipptopp. Servicepersonal sehr zuvorkommend. Essen supergut. Schönes abgestimmtes Ambiente, bis auf ein großes Wandbild.

Der Service war freundlich, aber bei den Getränken flapsig. Teilweise waren die von der Karte bestellten Getränke nicht vorhanden oder es kamen andere. Die Aperitivi sind teuer, aber mittelmäßig. Das Essen ist teuer, aber mittelmäßig. Die Soße von der knusprigen Ente war sehr salzig und die Soße bestand hauptsächlich aus Soyasosse und von knusprig kann keine Rede sein. Auch das Curry und das bayerische Rind waren uninspiriert. Insgesamt ist das Essen eher nicht empfehlenswert.

Food, service and ambience were good. Came here based on the reviews and were not disappointed. Large selection of dishes with decent portions, authentically prepared in Thai style. Recommended

A really great Thai restaurant with a wide range of delicious dishes, very friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. I can really only warmly recommend it!

Beautiful restaurant in the middle of Munich. Rüen Thai is now on my top 5 list. Anyone who is familiar with Asian cuisine will understand what I mean. The owners and staff are really nice and hospitable. Here you are served quickly and the food comes to the table warm. The food is a culinary delight. The variety of drinks leaves nothing to be desired. I like being here!!! The only drawback is the lack of parking spaces. Please allow enough time for this.

Für mich die beste Thailändische Küche im Raum München! Immer wieder super lecker!

Amazing food and beautiful atmosphere. The staff ist super friendly and the service is very quick!

Top Qualität und ein sehr freundlicher Service. Hier kommen wir gerne wieder hin.

Everything was great, the food was delicious, the staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was also very nice.

A very large restaurant. The interior decoration is also quite unique. The prices of the dishes are not low, and many dishes are a bit too salty.

Nice ambience, food delicious, service also very accommodating....only the wine list is a bit expensive. Otherwise a nice little Thai restaurant.

Because of the many positive reviews, I was very disappointed with the food. :( -Tom Yam Gung (sour-spicy soup): The soup was a bit salty, sweet and slightly sour. Here the sharpness was completely missing; If I did a blind tasting, I wouldn't know it would be Tom Yam. Somehow I only tasted the kaffir lime leaves and mushrooms, less lemongrass, shrimp broth, etc. -Ahan Thale Krapao (fried seafood in Thai basil sauce): The portion was very small. The dish was salty, sweet and slightly spicy. The taste was okay, maybe a little better than the soup. The atmosphere in the restaurant was casual and pleasant. The service is very friendly and attentive. The price-performance ratio is not right here. The portions are very small, the prices are very high and the taste of the food was okay. Unfortunately, due to the small portions, I was still hungry after eating.

The staff is friendly and helpful, although sometimes a bit rude. Right at the beginning (with several minutes in between) we were asked for the name of our reservation because we couldn't seem to find it in the system. Only after we showed the reservation confirmation was it okay. The food was good, but the portions weren't very large. However, the starter and main course will fill you up. Unfortunately, during our stay, the birthday song was played very loudly, so that we could no longer converse and were then forced to watch the spectacle at the table with the embarrassed birthday child. This could have been made much more elegant and also nicer for the birthday child.

Simply delicious and I recommend it to everyone!! food and service 5/5

very beautiful atmosphere and delicious vegetarian options

Für uns die beste und authentischste Thai-Küche Münchens! Immer wieder gerne!

To make a long story short: If you liked Rüen Thai, its excellent host, its talent for wines and pairings, you will inevitably be disappointed at Khao. The fact is: there is no longer a host, no longer a professional. The picture is painted by staff running around hectically in a completely overloaded, far too noisy restaurant - inevitably an anonymous dining experience. The presentation of the food is poor, even careless, but the quality of the products appears to be quite good. However, you can hardly find anything on your plate. The quantity is a provocation - even by fine dining standards. The wine list is well stocked, high priced - seems to be a holdover from Mr Chetah's time. But it no longer corresponds to the overall perception of the restaurant. Who wants to drink a good glass when you have to shout across the table to be heard? The audience, however, doesn't see any of this as a problem. The restaurant was completely booked. Mainly a younger audience that would certainly like to drink a good wine, but doesn't have a budget for the wine list yet. There is no entry level class. All in all, it's really a shame! The old Rüen Thai was great, a cult somehow... Everything is getting old. Me too. Therefore, younger guests should put my rating into perspective. Time and standards change.

Wirklich herausstechend leckeres Essen. Gute Weinkarte und Bar, sowie aufmerksamer Service. Preise schon gehoben aber Preis-Leistung stimmt. Würde definitiv wieder kommen.

Essen war sehr gut aber der Hauptgang hatte lange gedauert und die leeren Vorspeisenteller lagen gefühlt ewig vor uns auf dem Tisch und wurden erst weggeräumt als der Hauptgang kam.

So very nice Thai with authentic, high quality food. Eating in Thailand is in no way inferior, just more expensive. For example, there is sticky rice with mango 🥭 - definitely not every Thai has that. There is also no China, Vietnam or schnitzel on the menu. True Thai. It's a shame who no longer orders a boring Pat Thai

Great atmosphere with such amazing and delicious food. This place is our favorite Asian restaurant period.

Our absolute favorite in Munich. Authentic, very good Thai food and exceptionally friendly service.

Unser absoluter Favorit in München. Authentisches, sehr gutes Thai Essen und außergewöhnlich freundlicher Service. Hervorragende Weine und Cocktails.

Unser absoluter Favorit in München. Sehr authentisches Thai Essen und außergewöhnlich freundlicher Service.

Spontaneous stop for lunch. Full recommendation. Small fine business menu card. Crispy duck red curry. Hammer. And just as sharp. Plus homemade ginger-lemon lemonade, also spicy. Top. The small restaurant is bustling with guests, and in my opinion, deservedly so. Unfortunately the baked banana has to be canceled today, too much has been eaten. I'll be back.

Overall rather disappointing, rice was a bit dry and the sauce was either too soy-heavy or too sweet. Overall, there was something missing from all the dishes, especially given the high price. The service was very good and professional. Ordered dishes Som Tum (Papaya Salad) the papaya salad was tasty although a little fish sauce was missing but the spiciness was very good Gai pad med mamuang(cashew chicken) for sauce was unfortunately very monotonous in taste soy salt note Unfortunately, Pad Thai was too sweet Mango sticky rice was unfortunately too sweet and could have used a pinch of salt. The ambience is also very nice. This is certainly just a snapshot, but the quality of the food didn't match the price and was rather average.

Sehr guter Thailänder in München. Essen schmeckt authentisch, klare Empfehlung an den Mango Sticky Rice! Cocktails wie das Essen sehr lecker, Service schnell und unkompliziert. Klare Empfehlung und wir kommen gerne wieder!

We ordered appetizers to pick up. 2x chicken skewers, 2x dumplings, 2x Sam Tom and a Laab 71.00 euros “collection price” my beloved Som Tam from the former Ruen Thai is no longer available. Now consisting of 20% papaya and 80% mango, no spiciness and for 11.00 euros it doesn't even fill the mouth. A som tam doesn't have mango with it, if at all. I miss my Ruen Thai so much. Luckily I found a Gar kitchen. Where you can get a really good Som Tam for 12.00 euros and 4 times the amount. I want authentic Thai cuisine. It's a shame that it's only a show kitchen here.

Die Küche, also die KöchInnen, sind gut, und ihnen gilt mein Lob. Doch es herrscht eine Abfertigung ähnlich wie bei Mc Donalds. Mir scheint, es geht in diesem Restaurant darum, möglichst viele Besucher in möglichst kurzer Zeit durch das Restaurant zu schleusen und möglichst viele Gäste in einem Raum unterzubringen. Das heißt, es ist ungemütlich, laut und der Abstand zum Nachbartisch ist so gut wie nicht vorhanden. Das, was also den Anlass eines abendlichen Restaurantbesuchs ausmacht, dass man eine angenehme Zeit hat, an dies man sich später gerne erinnert, sich gut unterhalten und sich vom Arbeitstag erholen kann und vor allem sich als Gast und willkommen fühlt, wird hier ad absurdum geführt.

Super friendly staff… and the food was a dream 😋

Es ist immer wieder eine Freude, hier Gast zu sein: die moderne BangRak-Style Ambiente, der Service und die Speisen und Cocktails sind hier absolut super!

Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und das Essen war sehr schmackhaft, schneller und netter Service, alles bestens, vielen lieben Dank und jederzeit gerne wieder.

Trotz spontanem Besuch, wurde mir noch ein Platz ermöglicht und wie vor einigen Jahren (damals noch Rüen Thai) war das Essen, das Ambiente und der Service wieder fantastisch. Das Essen (Tod Man Pla und rotes Curry Gaeng Phed) war super authentisch und einfach richtig lecker! Ein authentisches thailändisches Geschmackserlebnis! Auch das Ambiente ist ansprechend und gemütlich und lässt ein wenig Thailand-Atmosphäre aufkommen. Trotz des vollen Hauses, war der Service unglaublich freundlich und aufmerksam.

Sehr aufmerksames Personal und sehr gutes Essen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

A beautiful evening amongst my beloved. Perfect service, nice and cosy and great food. I'll be back .

Excellent food, perfect spiciness; extremely friendly and attentive service. Only the 0.2l drink bottles are annoying...

Wir haben sehr gut zu Mittag gegessen, super Preis-Leistung, kurze Wartezeit und sehr netter Service. Herzlichen Dank und gerne wieder.

Wie immer - super lecker und gemütlich :) immer wieder gerne!

We found our visit very pleasant. The staff is very friendly and personable and always with a smile on their faces. They are also open to conversations. The prices are a bit overpriced, the only negative point, but the food is very tasty. Ambient a bit “smaller”, but very pleasant and cozy - you feel good!

Die Tapas waren sehr gut Hauptgerichte waren gut Bei der Nachspeise, Klebreis mit Mango und Cocossauce, ist noch viel Luft nach oben. Der Reis war noch zu hart und etwas wenig.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend! Vielen Dank für die tolle Geburtstagsüberraschung 🎇!

Wie immer tolles Essen, aufmerksamer, freundlicher Service und ein angenehmes Ambiente.

Sehr freundlicher Service, das Essen ist super lecker. Die Portionen sind eher kleiner, aber voll ok, schöne Atmosphäre. Bin bald wieder da 😊

Overall ok. Not really authentic, but still tastes good.

Super schönes Restaurant mit tollem Service! Besonders die crispy Calamari haben uns geschmeckt.

Es war ein schöner Abend bei gutem Essen - die Speisen war sehr lecker und gut gewürzt. Der Cocktail war ebenso schmackhaft und der Service sehr freundlich. Ich werde wieder kommen und kann das Restaurant empfehlen. Die Speisekarte hat eine gute und interessante Auswahl.

Still clearly recommended even after the change of owner/tenant. Our first address in the immediate vicinity.

The price-value ratio was a bit ridiculous at this place. Even for Munich, one does not get a salad for 15 euro and have it be the size of a small bowl. Entrees are also unbelievably over priced for the less than standard size. In terms of taste, the food was usually quite underseasoned and underbalanced. For Thai food, you expect a balance of acid and spiciness with the sweetness. Here, even “spicy” foods only taste sweet. The soft crab dish was unbearably sweet, cannot recommend. Drinks are also very small for the price.

Sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service Exzellentes Essen mit frischen authentischen Zutaten. Die Tischbeleuchtung könnte ein bisschen heller sein (vielleicht war bei uns nur der Akku schwach) Junges Publikum mit einem lebhaften, lebendigen Geräuschpegel. Nicht gerade günstig, aber die gebotene Qualität rechtfertigt den aufgerufenen Preis

Die Kellner waren alle sehr nett und aufmerksam. Und für den Preis kriegt man auch noch sehr große Portionen! Kann das Restaurant für einen entspannten Abend wirklich nur empfehlen

A great choice for a casual business dinner; our colleagues from the US make it a regular spot. Thank you!

Ich war gestern das erste Mal im neuen KhaoSan 58. Es war insgesamt ok, aber es war in keiner Hinsicht wie früher im Rüen Thai. Sehr schade ...

Overall, I really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere is cozy and vibey whether it's a date night for dinner with friends. They have a great selection of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic and what I appreciated was that the non-alc drinks still looked like a fancy cocktail. It's refreshing to see places do this because you still feel fancy even if you don't want alcohol. We did the shared tapas platter which was yummy and interactive, however what I didn't like, was that it was all fried items. They have such an array of tapas that it would be nice to have a variety of textures in the shared platter. Altho, they did have a nice mango salad included, something steamed would have also added to a nice balance. (reason for me 4 stars) We had the pad thai for our main course which was so good. I've been to Thailand and am very picky about this dish as I tried that the most while on my trip and I would say this dish was pretty nail on he head. The staff were extremely friendly and made sure periodically that we were OK and if we needed anything which in my optinion as an American is great hospitality.

Food, service and ambiance is very good, but saying tap water is not advised (because of construction work) and charging 7.5€ for a bottle of Sparkling Water is a rip-off
