Ruenton Restaurant

Ruenton is a restaurant we had to come back to every year — and every year we forget that the air-conditioning here is freezing cold 😅. Even for someone like me, who always feels hot and sleeps with the AC at 21°C, I was shivering. I had to order a pot of hot tea just to hug it for warmth. And we were sitting right under the air vent, which made it even worse. I’m posting this so we’ll remember it next year as a reference. If anyone plans to eat here, bring a jacket! The AC is so cold that the food gets cold too quickly. But the food is delicious, so we just put up with it. We came here for Hainan chicken rice. I had chicken rice with roasted duck as I cannot eat chicken. Xiao long bao at Ruenton Restaurant was also delicious as well as Shui Mei! We will fly back for this again!

This restaurant is famous for its Hainan chicken. One set is generous enough to share between two people—just order an extra rice. The dim sum is pretty good as well. They do accept tour groups, so there were quite a lot of foreigners when we visited.

A unique take on steamed rice topped with chicken, located in the heart of Bangkok at The Montien Hotel. The dish has a strong ginger aroma, which I personally love. They offer four types of sauces, each with a different flavor, allowing you to mix and match to your own taste. I also ordered the apple-carrot-ginger smoothie, which had a bold ginger flavor and a bit of a spicy kick. If you're not a fan of ginger, I’d recommend skipping this one. Lastly, I tried the fried tofu puff served with a sweet sauce. It came with a large shrimp inside, and the taste was excellent—crispy and flavorful. However, it was a bit oily.

Great great great chicken rice. One of the best, if not “the best”. The portion was fitting to the price. Quality was good, quantity was good. Clean and good atmosphere. 10/10 would eat here again in the near future.

Ordered the Montien chicken rice, Pad Thai Goong Sen and Wok fried soft shelled crab and every dish was just amazing! Didn’t have to wait long for the food to arrive and the service was great! Third time coming here and would definitely visit again!

Worth every penny!! A hidden gem you should try whenever visit Bangkok. A space rich in Eastern charm and nostalgia, blended with modern touches. Filled with ceramic details and beautiful decorations. The food is simply outstanding, definitely fall in love with Hainamese chicken rice!!

Simply awesome chicken rice, everything else is extremely high quality What’s best is the environment, it is hard to find better dinning environments than this Price is premium for Thai standard yet it is still very affordable for tourists

The famous khao man gai is delicious. The portion of one set is enough for two people. The chicken is moised and tender but the rice is a bit bland and need to be eaten with sauces which come in four difference flavours. The service is ok even when there are many customers and the price is reasonable for hotel restaurant.
