    Love the new menu. Excellent authentic Thai food. One of my favorite mom&pop restaurants. Definitely back to pre-pandemic quality and service (didn't the no-dine-in days suck?!?). Wonderful service, and there's always a relaxed atmosphere even when they are busy. I intend to work my way through all the new items. Love that they have soo many vegan and vegetarian options, and still have excellent meat for my carnivores. Specialty curries include Pumpkin and Mango. The yellow curry puffs are tasty. The hot Thai crispy chicken wings were the best appetizer so far! Super crispy wings, with a sweet and spicy sauce and crispy basil. The rice and pad Thai dishes are delicious. Today we got our favorite panang curry, the perfect ratio of curry, veggies and tender meat. Highly recommend the Tom Ka soup. Love happy food. Disability & sensory friendly.

    I can't really complain about the food here. The Thai curries were all very good. I always go with the yellow curry and it was really good. I also ordered the coconut soup and it was just OK. I probably would get the other soup they offer for next time. my wife also ordered another curry and it was great. Service was pretty good and the restaurant is pretty basic. I thought the server help us very friendly cracked a few jokes.

    Stopped by this Thai place on the way to Logan and was very pleased. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and vegetarian egg rolls. The shrimp fried rice lacked a little bit of salt or pizazz but overall was pretty yummy. The egg rolls were crispy and fresh (not that frozen taste). Now their salad dressing was probably my favorite haha. I asked what it was but the server doesn't even know because it's a restaurant secret. I wish I knew so I could have this yummy salad all the time! Great customer service with very attentive staff. I got a delicious banana wonton at the end of my meal as well. Thanks for the good food Ruan Thai!

    This place is ok, and if only comparing it to other Thai restaurants in Utah, I'd say it's pretty good. The portions are just a little small for the price. For example, my wife's shrimp pad Thai was $16.99 but only had 4 or 5 shrimp. I was glad though we were able to get a hot meal on a Sunday evening!

    I was pleasantly surprised to find more Thai food I enjoy! I've been cautious entering this cuisine because of the coconut milk and the reputation for lots of heat. Shame on me! $8.99 Lunch specials during the week. Co-worker ordered the Thai Basil Chicken with the Coconut Milk Soup. I asked the waiter what he would suggest in curry for a beginner and he suggested what I was considering - Chicken Green Curry - and went with the hot and sour soup. HUGE portions! My co-worker eats Thai food frequently, and even he had to leave just a touch of it on his plate. He gifted me his egg roll, which I ate, along with my own. The salad had a wonderful dressing AND wonton chips, which I think belong on an Asian salad. The hot and sour soup was NOT like the Chinese soup I'm used to and it was amazing! As for the curry, it was contained in a bowl so I could fork out what I wanted and eat it with the rice at my own pace. The chili sauce on the side was tasty and wasn't very hot, which tells me he heard me when I said "beginner." They were seriously busy and appeared to have only 2 servers and some sporadic help from the kitchen. Even so, servers smiled and listened when it was your turn. DEFINITELY returning!

    Dined here with my mom, sisters (including my sister in law, the pickiest eater who ever did eat), and my niece. Between the seven of us, we have a broad range of tastes and preferences when it comes to food, so dining out is always an experience (sometimes a not-so-fun one). We had lunch here on a Saturday around 1pm, and they were busy, but not full. They easily and quickly accommodated our larger group by pushing two tables together (it is a small-ish restaurant), and speedily brought out drinks. Most of us opted for the lunch special (props for it still being on offer on weekends!), and it is a steal at $8.99. In addition to your chosen entrée, it includes a salad, soup, egg roll, rice, and dessert. First off, they were a special, but if available, get yo'self an order of the curry puffs. Or two or three. EVERYONE loved them (again, consider those picky eaters), and while not possessing a strong curry flavor like I expected, they were just truly delicious deep fried crispy vegetable filled pockets of delight. For lunch, I had the green curry, and it was a good rendition, if unexceptional. Medium spice was a perfect level for me (be aware, it's the sort that builds). The salad is teeny, but the sesame dressing is yum. The dessert, too, is simply a wonton folded in half with a lil' banana inside, and a drizzle of honey, but overall you are getting a lot of food, and I really enjoyed the variety all these little sides afforded. Oh, and the well-cooked rice is served in the shape of a heart, guys. Awwww. Service was prompt and cheery. The owner was all over the place helping, greeting customers, and just being a cutie. Prices, not just for lunch specials but overall, are reasonable. It's a lil' divey, but in a charming way.

    Last week we were on our way from Las Vegas to Washington. We stopped over Ogden,Utah for a night. Big mistake with hotel. That is another story to share. We figured let's try some Thai food here. This restaurant has decent reviews and nice website. We ordered 3 items. LET ME TELL YOU! We didn't enjoy them at all. Hate to say bad things about this restaurant but those of you who write good reviews and say you have been to Thailand or have visitors who had been to Thailand and love Thai food from this place. If you happen to be in Las Vegas please go to just about any Thai restaurants in town you will taste the difference. By the way I am Thai and sorry for my writing skills.

    Salmon curry was on point!!!

    Stopped by this place for dinner after a day on the slopes. We wanted something to hit the spot. This place was super yummy. Service was a little slow for a Sunday, as they had a ton of to go orders, but we we weren't in any rush. The food made up for that. We had green curry and salmon curry and it was delish! Will def be stopping by this place more, especially after boarding all day!

    It sucks that I wasn't able to dine in with all that's going on, but I did pick up some chicken pad Thai for lunch one day. It was ready by the time he said it would be, so that was great. Let's start off with they give you a pretty decent amount. I def couldn't finish in one sitting. The give you crushed red pepper on the side. Which to me of course wasn't spicy but that's probably because I have a high spice tolerance. I wish they would ask how spicy you would like it and fry it straight into the dish. There's definitely a lot of bean sprouts put into this. It had good flavor but it could've used just a tad bit more flavor. Just felt like something was missing. I would actually order this again though, I love pad Thai, and they're worthy enough for another go around.

    Great for take out! Called Raun Thai in Ogden for some takeout. Headed over and it was ready in 10 minutes. They brought it to the car and handled payment there in a friendly and efficient manner. Most importantly, it was packaged very well. Foil lined styrofoam wrapped in cling wrap. No leaks at all. Food was fantastic as expected. Conveniently located on 12th St.

    Spicy drunken stir fry with chicken
    Tawnee H.

    This place is definitely a value. The portions and price are worthy of five stars. My stir fry that was about $11 lasted me nearly three meals. I don't think I'd be able to finish the dish by myself even on the hungriest of days. If you pay with cash, they give you 10% of your bill. We ended up getting spring rolls and two stir fries and we paid $10+ less at this location than we did at a Thai place in Layton just two weeks ago. That's a significant difference and we both liked Ruan Thai better. So with all the praise, why only three stars? The shrimp in the spring rolls didn't taste very fresh and the sauce they served it with wasn't my favorite. The veggies in my stir fry were closer to raw than steamed. I was hoping that after reheating my leftovers they would be better, but they were still on the raw/tough side. It was delicious, I would come back, but it's not my favorite and it's currently just "A-OK" in my book.

    Excellent pho! Would definitely recommend! The staff is very polite and the vibe in the restaurant reminds me of a home.

    The place is still good for the price, but I have found other Thai restaurants that are better. When I want a bargain I'll still come here.

I ordered the Pad Thai with vegetables and tofu with no egg. The sweet lady who cooks happened to take my order that afternoon, and she reassured me that her vegan Pad Thai was prepared on strictly vegan surfaces. First of all, the portion is HUGE. She lines the clamshell styrofoam container with tin foil which I appreciate - there's nothing worse than getting an order in styrofoam with the bottom melted into my food - and PACKED it full of Pad Thai. The Pad Thai comes with huge chunks of broccoli, cauliflower, marinated tofu (I just about died from deliciousness)! Even if veggies aren't your thing, it's so well flavored, you'll crave it. I ordered the panang curry for my husband, and it's a good thing I went with a double order because he loved every bite. The lime leaves flavored the broth beautifully and the amount of chicken is unbelievable. Try it. Seriously... try it.

We decided against it and went to look at the market for food options. To our surprise was the little food court area. We decided on Thai food from the other vendors. The food was OK. We ordered the papaya salad, panang curry, and phad thai noodles. All dishes were ordered non-spicy due to my son. Of the three dishes, I enjoyed the papaya salad. Eating heavy for the past days, it was refreshing to eat the shredded payaya, carrots, beans, and tomato's. It did have a bit of heat, but that was ok since my son didn't want to eat it. He enjoyed the pad thai noodles. I found the flavor to be ok. I'm sure our dinner was much better than the buffet.

From Yelp reviews, we started the gastronomic adventure with lunch at Pad Thai. After a pleasant meal, I inquired as to where I could locate an Asian grocery store. The lovely lady tending us directed us to Z World Express. It took a couple of passes up and down Main street looking at both ends of the RV lot we were directed to look for before spying the brick building with red white and blue sign. Not much to see from the outside, no hint that groceries are there, but on inside, jackpot!! This place is packed floor to ceiling with tiny aisles you have to squeeze through. There is a nice representation of Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, and some Indian selections. There are several chest freezers filled with a plethora of frozen seafood. The back wall is a bank of coolers with a nice selection of fresh veggies, Fresh Pho Noodles, and other tasy treats. I picked up Tom Yum soup base, Masaman Curry Paste, coconut cream, Thai Tea, instant Pho broth, Mabo Tofu sauce and a nice selection of snacks. Prices are actually a little less than what I am used to paying in Seattle, another nice bonus. The owners were very engaging and very helpful. They directed us to Best Teriyaki for a Korean fix, which turned out to be spot on. Good service, excellent selection of foods, definitely a hidden gem
