Chicken Pad Thai
John M.

Ruan Thai is a rockstar of takeaway on the east side! We ordered a few dishes for a Sunday night feast, and everything was amazing. Dishes were cooked to perfection, and matched the spice levels we asked for. Dishes were well balanced and our protein choices cooked well. Service was fast and professional, we will not only be ordering more takeaway in the future but look forward to dining in next time.

Ruan Thai may not be a place where you'd think about stopping for a quick, tasty lunch or a full Thai style dinner, but maybe you should. The $13.99 Lunch Specials (as of 22 Oct 2025) are well worth the price because they include a variety of main dish offerings in Tofu, Chicken, Pork, Beef, and Shrimp versions that come with soup, salad, and crispy fried egg roll. Mom really liked the filling and crunch of the egg rolls as well as the zero spice preparation on her Pad Thai, which is hard to find, since some spice is already in the sauce in traditional prep methods. And my beef with spicy Thai basil was a spot on 5 -- just enough heat to bead up some sweat, yet not enough to make me go looking for the milk jug. AND there was lists of beef in there -- where I was expecting a few narrow slivers, I found flavorful chunks -- kudos Ruan! The Pad Thai was also not as sticky as it sometimes can be, also a welcome change, because this made it much easier to twirl up the perfectly al dente noodles for joyful consumption. Service was friendly, of course, and the ambience was straight up Thai from front to back to music selections. This is a good family place that's quiet enough for a special dinner too, so it's easy to put this one on my hidden gems of Las Vegas list. Bring your appetite and come on down from the Strip on the 201 bus. Because this one is well worth the trip. And maybe I'll just see you here when you do!

Pad Cha Talay
Kim V.

Ruan Thai has a good selection, including dishes not often found at other local restaurants, including Pad Cha Talay (seafood w/mussels, squid, shrimp, & fish; spicy with herbs and fresh peppercorns, and slightly sweet). They also have a nice selection of drinks and desserts. We also tried the Larb (pork), and Spicy Basil fried rice (chicken), ordering spicy levels of varying degrees to gauge their range. Ruan Thai has a 1-5 scale of Thai "hot", versus Farang (aka gringo) "hot", so err on the side of caution if you aren't a Spice Connoisseur. My tip when ordering fried rice with a spicy level, order it 1 level down than you would a meat dish, because the rice grains absorb that spicy heat, and can easily be hotter than you expect. Service was friendly, the food and drinks were good, and prices reasonable. We will definitely be back to have more tasty Thai food in the future. note: Like many businesses nowadays, they do pass on the fees they incur on bank cards. So, if you don't want to pay the 3% charge, then bring cash. ...and don't be a Karen; the cost of everything is going up for everyone, so be kind, and understand that if you want an affordably priced restaurant, than this is one thing that they can do to stay in business to feed you AND their family, too.

their lunch specials are of good value and delicious. They make the soup homemade everything of course is made from scratch but it is delicious and authentic Thai they're pen and curry is very delicious their pad Thai is yummy I love their spicy basil chicken service is excellent and the atmosphere is casual.

Orange Chicken
Slick W.

Absolutely amazing every time I come here, this place needs way more credit man, it taste amazing great prices such nice humble people too. I tried ordering a mango sticky rice once and they said they didn't wanna serve it because it wasn't in season and they didn't want to give me a plate that didn't taste right, shows they pay attention to detail and I respect it a lot

Yummy
RJ G.

This place is a hidden gem! The food is amazingly delicious and you can tell it's made from love. The staff here are super accommodating and they will recommend certain dishes. It is located in a very "busy" part of Las Vegas but I could tell when I walked in that people truly enjoy the food because the phone kept ringing for orders and delivery drivers keeps coming.

Nadia C.

Ruan Thai's food is so good!! Always is. Our waiter, Chase, was extremely friendly and he was also attentive and available if we needed anything. Also, super cute inside. 5 stars.

Inside
Laura S.

This spot is recent change of ownership and name. Very close to my home. The inside is clean and nicely decorated with simple modern design. The food is good My favorite is their pad Thai noodles So moist and delicious Crab ragoons are done with artistic expression..... chicken satay again very moist with great flavor This is definitely a great gem Totally recommend it They charge 3% for card cards, but give a discount for cash that's a great incentive very small business move!!!!!!

Can you dine inside? Or did the continue with to go or delivery only as the previous owner did?

Yes, dining in is encouraged you won't regret it. The previous owners, with their carry out only, is nothing compared to the new ones. Dine in, or carry out.. either way the food is great.

Hostess was impersonal, disengaged, and uncaring with regard to greeting us and getting us seated.

Mr Noodles T Business Owner, Before you respond to this review with your canned response of "we are sorry to hear about about your bad experience, we assure you that we are already doing everything properly to ensure a positive dining experience, and we will try to do better for your next visit, blah, blah, blah...". Fake response You need to train your staff about what customers expect in terms of high quality customer service! You cannot use Chinese cultural norms -- in the US, they are generally considered rude. Train your staff to be Polite, Always Smile, speak in a Pleasant tone of voice, always display a Positive attitude to all customers, and be Courteous and Respectful. If you don't, you will find Bellagio will not renew your lease one day, and you will be closed down.

We started with the onion pancake and spicy pork wontons. The onion pancake was hands down the best I've had--perfectly crisp around the edges, not greasy or oily, and full of flavor. We then had the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup, Beef Shank Noodle Soup, and Dan Dan Noodles, and everything was delicious. The portions were generous, and you can really taste the freshness in every dish. The service was also excellent. The two ladies who helped us were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, which made the experience even better. I was so hungry when my Beef Brisket Noodle Soup arrived that I completely forgot to take a photo until I had already eaten most of the beef! Definitely a place I'd come back to--and one I think more people need to discover.
