The Take
Order the panang curry or chicken rice soup with extra vegetables at Rouen Thai. Slop Score 51.
Traditional recipes and fresh ingredients deliver real flavor, but the kitchen defaults to restaurant oils on everything and loads the menu with fried garbage like crab rangoon and spring rolls.
The Verdict
Rouen Thai earns its keep on fresh ingredients and classic execution. The moment you add appetizers or skip the custom requests, it slides into standard restaurant slop.
