The food and cleanliness of this establishment needs to improve. Our waitress was kind and attentive but it’s not her fault. It is the fault of the owner or management that needs to address these issues. The bathroom was very atrocious and you could see mouse dropping all around the toilet and sink on the floor. It blends in due to the dark tiles but you can tell that this place has an infestation and needs to be addressed. I wish I hadn’t ate here because of that fact but I had already eaten and I wished I took a photo of the droppings I saw onto this post although I did take a photo of the food. The food didn’t taste fresh either and it’s probably a reflection of unhygienic the restroom is. I would recommend people to dine elsewhere like Thai chef in Bethesda MD or Tiki Thai in Virginia. I will never be dining here again nor will I ever recommend this establishment.

This has been our favorite Thai Restaurant since 2011!
We have been here that long, we loved their take on certain thai delicacies.
It has changed a few times on the cooking but one of our favorites never changes. It’s the Pork belly with chinese broccoli. It is always very good!
I recommend it!
I loved their spicy flat noodles as well.
They have been there for so long. I love that they are still striving.

Food taste is really great, one of the best Thai places I have been (for the taste); Service, not so much. The place was busy on Monday evening and had only two servers in total. Tried Drunken Noodles and steamed dumplings with chives. Both were really good.
The place didn’t have any good ambiance and the restrooms were not clean. Limited parking outside restaurant however there was paid street parking. It was surprisingly loud inside the restaurant.
5/5 for food
3/5 for service
4/5 overall

Incredible! My wife ordered the yellow chicken curry and it was insanely delicious. I ordered a Thai coconut curry chicken and it was tasty but my wife’s curry stole the show. Healthy portions that left us delightfully satiated. We live so far but this is worth a stop!

Good food. It was empty for lunch when we go there. Food was good. Requested medium spicy. It was over the medium spicy levels more like spicyyyy. Parking was not available even tho the restaurant was empty. Has paid parking along the road.
Thai tea had a fpod coloring or something that made our tongue colored.

Brought my in-laws here for birthday dinner. My in-laws are the most difficult people from an eating perspective- they are very picky, some are vegetarians, some are vegans, some can’t handle spice, etc., etc., etc.
They were ALL happy with Ruan Thai! Plenty of different menu options and preparations. The servers were very good at helping people find the right dish and spice level.
I definitely recommend Ruan Thai. I can’t wait to go there again (this time without the in-laws)!

Food- I and my boy friend ordered pad Thai and deep-fried soft shell crab with house special sauce. The tastes were okay but both of them were too salty for us.
Service- It was okay. She frequently asked us about the food or any needs.
Atmosphere- It was clean but not a pleasant smell when we entered. It might be due to food.

It was a nice local Thai place that seems to be very popular. Very busy when I was there and having only one server was really a bad idea, unless someone called sick. The food came out fast and the service was fine with no issues. The food itself was ok, but way too high in sodium for me. I imagine all the dishes are done the same way as fish sauce is the base for most.
18. Sum Tom (Papaya Salad): The salad was really good and crunchy, very refreshing and fresh. Just the fish sauce in it was a bit more than needed, its better off on the side, as we can personally control the sodium content. The peanuts and tomatoes are a nice compliment and highly recommended if you enjoy interesting salads, just avoid the fish sauce and pour it on yourself.
16. Num Tok Tofu: I love the little bits of fried tofu with nice red onion and cilantro. But it was way too overloaded with fish sauce, causing extremely high sodium content. Please order it with sauce on the side, its the only way to save the dish and enjoy it. It is highly unnecessary to use that much fish sauce, its like drinking it. So if you order it, sauce on the side. Overall, crunchy tofu goodness.
25. Pad Khing (Stir Fry): It is good, but again was too much sodium in it. This dish destroyed me, gave me a headache, tummy ache, and my lips were dry after eating it. Its good, don’t get me wrong, but way too high in sodium and they need to cut back on that black bean paste. This dish is extremely simple, you can to go an Asian market and simple buy Fried Tofu (3.99), Woodear Mushrooms (0.99), and Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Paste (3.49) and mix it together, thats pretty much it. It needs to be eaten over rich to drown out the salt.
40. Ganh Keow Whan (Green Curry): Their version of green curry is more watery than thick, they add peppers and veggies. The taste itself was not spicy at all and the taste and tangy. I got chicken and it was sliced nicely and was good, the jasmine rice was also nice and not hard, cooked more on the softer side. Its alright, but not something I would get again.
Thai Ice Tea: This was great, tasted like how you’ed think Thai Ice Tea would taste.
Not the best Thai place I’ve been too, but a nice place overall and good service.

Around lunch time I googled food near me, clicked Thai food on the top of my screen. I looked at 3 Thai restaurants and chose this one because of the reviews. I should have eaten somewhere else. I dined in.The spring rolls were good, hot and crunchy. 5/5 would recommend I ordered for my entree the Pla Num Tok which is suppose to be crispy deep fried catfish with veggies. The fish was cold and I can tell it was deep fried at lease a couple days ago, refrigerated and microwaved. I’m super disappointed and would not recommend to anyone. This place also is not the cleanest when I was waiting for my food I can smell rag water and it smelled like they mop the kitchen and seating area with the same mop and mop water from the kitchen area.I’m very cautious and observant with cleanliness…..Ruan my meal.

The smell doesn’t even describe the rancid aroma it gives off. The beef is barely cooked and smells. I’m an avid Thai cuisine fan but this is not what I expected. The taste is off and the color is unappetizing. A waste of $20+ but the Thai tea was pretty good.
