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!!
Recommended dishes: Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai with Veggies, Chicken Satay

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.

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.

This use to be the best Thai food in the area. I went recently and the food was blan no taste and the texture of the catfish dish was strange. I would not recommend.
We came here as a group of four, and one wanted to have Ramen from next door, but they wouldn't allow it. What a shame. The menu changed from pre-pandemic. The authentic menu is gone, and the prices went up badly while the food got worse. They closed many sections except for the front. I used to recommend friends here, but I cannot anymore. The waitresses are okay, but the owner is stingy.

This place used to be our go-to for Thai in the area. Our most recent order included drunken noodles that had too much tomato in the sauce it bizarrely tasted like spaghetti-os. Not sure if there’s a new chef but I’d be weary to go back and try it again

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.

I have been eating there since it opened in the early 90s . It's great food. 4 generations of our family all enjoy the food. Yum watercress is the best dish ever. The duck dish and mussels are to die for.
