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.

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.

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.

The Galbi Tang is especially comforting, with a rich, flavorful broth and tender beef short ribs that make it such a satisfying meal. The Seafood Pancake is another great choice, packed with flavor and a delicious crispy texture. Both dishes really hit the spot when you're craving authentic Korean comfort food! If you're looking for traditional Korean dishes beyond the usual Korean BBQ, Moobongri Soondae is definitely worth checking out. A great spot for anyone who appreciates authentic Korean flavors and hearty, comforting meals. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

When in Vegas if your planned restaurant does not work out for whatever reason, there are do many…read moreAsian restaurants in the Chinatown area, you'll always have one nearby to be able to go to. So that's what happened to us when we were supposed to try a popular Japanese BBQ spot nearby, but with a two hour wait, it would not work out for us. So, we fell in to this AYCE Hot Pot place which turned out to be an excellent surprise. Staff here from the host to the ones that take your orders and especially the food runners are very much on top of their game. Anything ordered from the kitchen came out within minutes. You are never without any meats to cook or sushi to eat. The self serve vegetable bar, sauce bar, and other accompaniments are up to you. Such a large variety of options. The hotpot burner is so fast, it reaches a boil quickly and you're on to preparing your creation of soup with noodles, seafood, vegetables, and meats that it's endless, or all you can handle. Definitely worth it and it was good we discovered it.

We had a really good lunch at Nabe Hotpot, which is in Chinatown, Las Vegas. The weekend price was…read more$33.95 and includes all-you-can-eat hot pot and sushi. The restaurant provided a 2-sided pot and we chose tonkotsu and seafood broth. They have a buffet area, where you can grab from a huge variety of hotpot items - noodles - ramen, udon, many veggies, sauces, and best of all, seafood - crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, and octopus. For the meats and sushi, we had to order it from our waitress and we could only order three meats at a time. They don't have a lot of of choices for meats, but we tried the pork belly and premium rib eye. We ended up just ordering more and more premium rib eye and no other meats. For sushi, we tried variations of salmon and yellowtail - plain, yuzu, truffle, and carpaccio. The sushi was good, but not exceptional. They don't offer sashimi so nigiri was the best they could do. Sometimes it was too much rice. We tried the lemon salmon roll, salmon roll, and yellowtail roll. They were all good, but not outstanding. We tried the bulgogi and spicy garlic edamame, which were okay. For dessert, we had little ice cream cups, which were good. Service was good. Sometimes it took awhile to find our waitress to order, however, the staff was very quick to remove used plates from the table. Probably the fastest I have ever seen at an AYCE restaurant. The restaurant was large with many tables. Very good hot pot experience at Nabe Hotpot.
