“Thai Grillhouse. Reimagined.
At RA-U, we don’t just serve food; we harness the fire, spice, and soul of Thailand’s kitchens. “Thai Heat” is more than a motto—it’s our identity. Every dish is a tribute to the heady flames of the grill and the punch of Thailand’s most vibrant herbs and spices.”
RA-U is a chef-driven exploration of Thai grilling, where precision meets passion.
Chef Pam shared her vision for a casual Thai-grillhouse restaurant that uses the best ingredients and meticulous techniques from all her passion for BBQ, charcoal, and smoke.
It’s never been done before—fun, bold, and unforgettable. Chef Pam hopes her diners will explore a new way of enjoying Thai BBQ, bring their families along, and feel inspired
to be part of the experience.
Chef Pam was the first Thai Chef named Best Female Chef (2025) and Asia’s Best Female Chef (2024).
Chef “Pam”, Pichaya Soontornyanakij, has opened a string of successful restaurants and bars. Pam had received both Michelin Star and “Opening of the Year” awards from the Michelin Guide in the same year.
She is also the first and only Thai female chef who achieved status of 3 knives from the World Best Chef Award. Her restaurant and bar are also listed in ASIA's 50 Best Restaurants and World's 50 Best Restaurant.
