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.

Green Curry very good

Darlene L.

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. A good place to grab Thai food if you're on the east side of Henderson Las Vegas

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.

This place is absolutely amazing. Great authentic Thai food and a great atmosphere and service. We found this place as a local joint and it does not disappoint. Will return again.

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!!!!!!

Ask the Community - Ruan Thai Restaurant

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.

Recently had a work visit to Henderson, NV and wanted to take my wife to Lotus of Siam for some…read moreunique Thai food. Lets be honest I wanted to go because I had gone with some business partners year before during the SHOT Show convention and loved it. We sat at the bar but they had plenty of seating for a 5pm arrival. Their location is convenient to the strip off Flamingo and well worth the Uber or Zoox if they travel to that area. The staff at the bar were all amazing and actually seemed interested in talking to us while prepping for the night. I always find the service off strip to be better, but its merely a generalization as it really comes down to the individual server. Their selection of drinks is like the cheesecake factory menu and very impressive along with some reasonably priced beers and cocktails. One thing lacking olive seltzers, but hey some white girls have to get adventurous sometimes. I got the yuzu lager which was amazing and had to get a couple. My wife got a gin and tonic which had some elderberry flavor in it and she had to drive so I got to finish that bad boy off. For food we always share, because most plates are huge. We got the crispy fried rice which I remembered from years ago which features almost puffy style rice with a lot of amazing aromatics like lemongrass and lime as well as sour pork sausage which I feel just tasted like a typical Chinese sausage but supreme flavorful and not a huge soy flavor. This is a must have at $15 even if just as a starter. The food options are amazing including a lot of Northern Thai options you dont see at a basic bitch Thai restaurant. We also got the Seafood PAd ped which features mussels, squid, scallops, and shrimp in a mushroom lime sauce and boy howdy it was unique and tasty. I could go on and on about the choices but if this is all you eat assuming you like a good mushroom sauce then you will be set as a couple. Big shout out to the staff for making us feel at home in Vegas as Phoenix ferners. The restaurant is super clean with a modenr esthetic and quite large to fit a lot of people. They also have an amazing wine selection that goes as deep as your wallet.

My very first visit to Weera Thai Restaurant was within Shanghai Plaza Las Vegas. I loved it so…read moremuch I had to check out their other locations. I came here with both my daughters. Emmie was our server. She was impeccable with her friendliness and amazing service. Her attention and care throughout our dining was top-notch. Thank you Emmie! Shared parking with other biz within plaza are available right up front of the restaurant. Ambiance inside was beautifully decorated with a cozy feel. Menu options were abundant. Despite of the selections, we usually go with our go-tos. We couldn't ask for a better meal. Everything was delish with a few exceptions. 1. Panang Curry lunch special that comes with soup, salad, wonton, and rice - taste and flavor were just okay, but portions were quite adequate 2. Baa Mee Hang - amazingly tasty, but portions were small 3. Papaya Salad with shrimp - wonderfully put together with fresh quality ingredients, tasted great with mild spice made just right, it comes with 4 huge shrimps, wished it came with 6 huge shrimps 4. Pad Thai with chicken - one of the best dishes! SO GOOD!! 5. Pad Woon Sen with chicken - I originally asked for seafood, but got chicken instead which was fine. Glass noodles became mushy towards the end. They need to use a different brand of glass noodles that's a bit firmer. 7. Stuffed Chicken Wings - surprisingly good, love the crispiness of the skin, seasoning was quite flavorful, came with 2 wings, 3 wings would have been better 8. Thai Iced Tea - PERFECT! Must get every time. 9. Thai Iced Coffee - good, not too sweet 10. Coconut Cream Ice Cream - a must get delectable dessert to end our meal, SO YUMMY! Each dish averaged about $20+ or so. Bill came and it was a whopping $140+ before tip. After tip, it was $170.00 out the door. Yes, big delicious meals come with a price! It's always well worth it. Highly recommend Weera Thai!

I walked to the rear where the waitress station and kitchen areas are and asked if I could sit and rest for a while and she offered me a glass of water. The kitchen is VERY Clean, floors mopped and the chef was steam cleaning the gridle. I sat at the booth closest to the door and checked my mails and messages and the waitress brought me a BIG bag of cheese puffs and a large soda, FREE!!! They allowed me to stay, undisturbed for almost 45Mins. I'm going back DEFENETLY for a full course meal soon.

I stopped by for lunch before heading to music festival on Fremont and I am so grateful because the pad see ewe (not only delicious) and Matcha martini mocktail (more places need Matcha martinis!!) kept me going the whole night! I got chicken with my pad see ewe and it was perfectly moist and flavorful, the noodles were perfect, Everything about it was just exactly how I like it with the flavor and the texture! And I am obsessed with the Matcha martini I can't believe I've never had one before and it was AMAZING! My friend got the Tom Kha with tofu, she's not a big Thai fan... but I am trying to get her outside of her comfort zone and try new things. She really enjoyed the mushroom and the tofu inside of the soup, She's definitely more of a clear broth fan. But she said she would try it again. And we had amazing service, I believe our servers name was Manuel, he was so nice and thoughtful. Definitely a great place to check out if you're on Fremont, Though it does get really busy there sometimes!

I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful local, family-owned Thai spot! It's a cozy,…read moresmaller restaurant, but they are doing big things here. The highlight was the unexpected tableside service. For a smaller neighborhood gem, getting that level of care and attention right at our table was incredibly impressive and made the meal feel truly special. The prices are super affordable, especially considering the massive portions they serve. You definitely won't leave hungry, and the quality of the food is fantastic. If you want to support an amazing local family business that treats you right and serves up delicious food at a great price, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back!

So first impressions was nice interior design and great vibe. The lunch special they have separate page but also have regular menu. It has nice diversity of all normal Thai foods. The price point for lunch special and portion of food is really good!!! There like six different choices for entrees then choose protein or upgrade selection for it. I ended up going with the Thai Basil and protein went with chicken. It was awesome. I loved the sauce, hearty lots of vegetables and chicken. It comes with one egg roll that was good. House salad enjoyed the dressing and perfect compliment. Bowl of rice. Add on small Thai iced tea extra charge. Overall everything was amazing and price best lunch specials in Vegas. Service was five stars. Warm welcome soon walked in. Attentive and friendly service the whole time!!
