The most fresh and authentic Thai food! Me and my family recently found this place and have been back at least 5 times. The food, the service, and the atmosphere has been perfect each and every time. My favorite dish is the papaya salad. It is so refreshing and fulfilling. Please try it, I promise you won’t regret it. We’ve tried almost everything on the menu and everything was amazing, including the tempura shrimp. You will not go wrong with any dish. Every dish is made with fresh ingredients. It just taste healthy.

This is a must-try place for refreshingly different Conway cuisine. The food is consistently flavorful and delicious! I have to get the veggie potstickers every time (pictured) and the egg rolls are great too. Pictured are the pineapple fried rice with tofu (which is the best fried rice in town!), and the glass noodles with chicken. The Thai curries are fantastic as well! The space is clean and chill, and the service is always excellent and low-key. So happy this place is in Conway!!

We tried this place for the first time today, and it is so good. The beef ramen is great, we also recommend the fried rice.

This is my fourth time visiting Xen Thai & Ramen, and the food is still just as great as the first time I came. The flavors are bold, consistent, and really well-made. The Tom Yum Soup, Brussels Sprouts, and Beef Ramen Bowl were all excellent, and the Jumbo Shrimp Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles, and Pad See Ew with tofu were also delicious like always.
You can tell the kitchen is run by someone who really knows what they’re doing. I’ve eaten at a lot of Thai and Asian restaurants between Springfield, MO and Dallas, TX, and Xen is one of the few places that truly stands out for both quality and flavor.
If you want food that’s memorable and full of real flavor, this is definitely a place worth coming back to which is why I keep returning.

I moved from Los Angeles, CA, and I’ve been a customer of Xen Thai & Ramen since 2021. I finally decided to write a review for my number one favorite small restaurant here in Conway. I’ve tried every dish on their menu, and not a single one has ever disappointed me. Each dish has its own unique flavor, and the food is always fresh, consistent, and full of care.
The restaurant is very clean, comfortable, and enjoyable to dine in. Their service is genuinely warm and attentive something that’s getting harder to find these days.
I truly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a standout place to eat in Conway. Xen Thai & Ramen is a real gem.

This may be the only place in Conway we crave almost every week. I’m no expert on Thai food but you can’t possibly get much better, certainly not in central Arkansas. Everything we’ve tried is more delicious than the last. The sauce is so expertly developed, the noodles all taste homemade. It’s literally the best food we’ve tasted in a very long time.
Favorites: fried brussel sprouts, udon on wok, drunken noodles and this delicious special- a crispy talipia curry. 5 out of 5 stars!

Super cool little place! Man, this place definitely surprised me…..in all the best ways!
I liked the decor and the layout of the interior. Always give bonus points to places with aquariums and 80s music!
The service was friendly and prompt.
As far as the food itself, the kimono shrimp was a little smaller portion wise than I’d like but very good. The drunken noodles were tasty, and the basil was nice and fresh. The shrimp and chicken in the noodles tasted very nice. The Thai tea was also good.
As for the ramen, the broth was hearty, the noodles good, and the dish hit the spot! My only nag was the egg. I didn’t care for it personally.
All in all, I’d certainly suggest giving it a try. When I’m in the area again, I’ll certainly comeback again.

The broth was overly watered. The whole thing was bland. Had two orders of that. Also had two orders of a rice meal that had a weird taste and we only had about 5 bites. Then the service lady was rude and said they wouldn’t fix it or anything because we ordered it and that’s not their problem.

Great food, we went for lunch and the waitress had excellent suggestions for my 7 year old. The Boba hit the spot and we both had leftovers (which only I eat) so 4 meals for the price of 1 with the portion sizes and a few other menu items I’d like to try.
