Pros: Great service, helpful server, nice portion size, like the decor.
Cons: Didn't really hit that addicting Thai food experience I was hoping for, and if it matters to you the bathroom was ridden hard and put away wet (floor was nasty, walls have some kind of chunkage sprayed on it in parts, light fixture was missing — but hey you didn't go here for the bathroom experience.)
Went for lunch on a Saturday around 12:30. The server was friendly and helpful and we ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Pork Drunken Noodle, and I think some kind of beef/vegetable stir fry?
The Chicken Pad Thai was sweet and greasy, maybe had one green onion on the plate and didn't have cilantro or lime wedges. Flavor was ok but definitely was missing those side items. We did ask for some lime wedges on the side and that helped a bit.
The Pork Drunken Noodles was greasy and ok on flavor. The pork was chopped up so fine that it got lost in the mushy noodles. It also was a bit salty but that might be from the pork. Perhaps the chicken version of this would solve the issue.
Would I go back? No. Maybe if I was meeting some friends there and in that case I would for sure check out the other menu items like maybe try a...
Read moreThis is the 1st Thai restaurant in 16 years that I can actually say I love! We moved from Denver, away from my favorite Thai restaurant, about 16 years ago. I’ve never found another restaurant that comes close to it, until eating at Ruen Thai. We have been a few times in just 2 weeks since discovering it. I get the fried veggie spring roll every time we go! If you like fried spring rolls, theirs are so fresh… crisp… delicious.. addicting!! We have also had the potstickers, massaman curry, the mango curry, and the pad Thai, as well jasmine and brown rice, all numerous times. I always want to try the mango coconut sticky rice, but am always incredibly satiated by the end of dinner! The portion sizes are big enough to share with another person, unless you have a BIG appetite!! I brought my leftovers home each time and just the 1 portion feeds me multiple times!! So it’s a great value when you consider how much food you’re getting. Service is always great, they are always very kind and attentive!! I can’t...
Read moreThis is my go-to place for "spring rolls and spring rolls alone" nights! They've got some different options than your regular Thai places such as mango fresh rolls that are super tasty! The tofu ones aren't really my favorite as they use a big ol' slab of it and it was a bit too spongy for me, but their fried rolls are delicious as well at the chicken satay. Get that peanut sauce too, it's awesome!
Their entrées are just okay. As others have said the seasonings are just a little bland sometimes. Our first orders of Pad Thai and pineapple fried rice were pretty good, but the second time they were super bland and greasy even with the mild spice. We literally added more fish sauce and lime at home to make them taste a bit better, but generally we go elsewhere for those Pad Thai cravings.
The people who work here are very friendly and are always pleasant even though we just get take out. You can really tell they're putting a lot of effort into making this a great place to go...
