Great Thai selection, with great taste! They were able to cater to various spice tolerances.

We've eaten there for many years and enjoy the food and the friendly staff.
But recently they've begun serving desserts with single-use utensils:-( Please, please, please--for the planet and health--return to reusables!
Thanks!

Wasn't completely happy with my fried rice but it still tasted alright. The rice was a little too soft and sticky but still had flavor.

I am a vegetarian and this is by far the best Thai Restaurant there is and there has been in the area for the last 20+ years. Truly serving authentic Thai food. Their Panang, Curries and sticky rice are out of this world. Never disappoints!
Enjoy your Thai food, thank me later ;)

Could be my fav Thai in the country — not gonna lie!!

Since moving to the area over a year ago this is the one place we know we can go to always have an enjoyable meal. We dine here at least twice a month.
The green curry and chicken is a huge success every time, the eggplant and black bean is wonderful and, the tofu tod is also a personal favorite.
The staff is always quick and friendly.
The dining area (which we always use) has a little bit of a dining hall feel to it, but it doesn't make the food any less enjoyable.
I highly recommend trying them if you haven't already.

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!

Poor customer service and I have been eating here for over 10 years. When we walked in we were the only table in the entire restaurant. I had to wave down a Thai lady to take down our order. After that, we never saw her again the whole dining experience. After 20 minutes of sitting we saw a black male come by and asked if we already placed our order. After that, not seen ever again at our table. I had to get up to walk 5 feet to him for another beer just for him to say “you can’t bring the empty glass to us because it’s a liability” no other restaurant in America has that issue so that made no sense. Later on a party of 4 came and were sat at a table pushed together. After them sitting there for 20-30 minutes minimum the guy server comes by and says oh since it’s 4 of you I have to take a table away from the tables pushed together because it’s our policy. Mind you the restaurant is empty. Only 3 tables sat in the whole restaurant and there were so many other empty tables. Pulling a table from a family that has been sitting for 20-30 mins is not going to kill the empty restaurant. Poor customer service all around. No wonder Ruan Thai is not packed for lunch or dinner ever like it use to be. I was eating there when you guys didn’t make the restaurant bigger. Now, it’s a waste of space. I spent over $100 and will no longer be supporting this business.

We've eaten here and ordered take out many times. This last time I was with 3 girlfriends and we all liked our dishes. My husband and I like the curry puffs and satay appetizers. Really all the dishes we've tried are good. The restaurant is not usually too crowded and it's not noisy. It's a good place to bring kids. The staff are pleasant and you don't have to wait long for your food. 4.5 stars!!

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.

When I lived in the area it was the place I most often ordered take-out from. On trips back to anywhere in the area I will detour to have some more!

Pad thai take out has no flavor. Bland noodles, spices watered down. Same with curry puffs! Did not taste like I went to Thailand at all. Horrible, soggy noodles.

I have always ordered at this place, favorite Thai place In Wheaton. I always go to eat there and sometimes do carry out. This time around, I ordered online and the restaurant declined my order because I didn’t tip? It was asking me to tip $20 for take out. It said I had to tip in order for them to accept my order. Since when has tipping for take out been mandatory? Or am I missing something? I’ll be looking for another Thai restaurant.
