I was in Show Low for a few nights and had tried 4 dishes from them so far. I loved that the food there wasn't so americanized sweet and seemed more authentic Thai food than what I could find at a typical Thai restaurant in the US. The proprietors Oy and Robin put in love into making wonderful food for their customers. I definitely hope the next time I'm back in Show Low that their truck is still around! Words are around that they are getting to retire soon! Good for them...but bad for my stomach!!! Arghhh!! read more

This is an absolute masterpiece hiding behind a mattress store. Don't let the location fool you into some type of negative thoughts about the food. It is outstanding with a great taste with various types of heat added to your meal. The portions are large, tasty and delicious. The food truck is very clean, with friendly staff and disposable dishes. Great price for the value. read more

Oy and Robin are wonderful! They are very friendly and the food is delicious and freshly made! Our son loves the curry and I usually order the drunken noodles and pad thai. Their food truck is located behind the mattress store and one can park at the Motel 6 parking lot to access it. Their flags are usually out by the side of the road when they're open (a welcome sight)! Ask for the menu to see which type of curry is served on different days. The mango and avocado curries are delish! read more

Ruean Thai - Yes They're Open!!! - Thai Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

Just wished we had something like this at home. The food was fantastic - fresh and flavorful, just enough spice at level 3. A very friendly person took our order (I wish I had gotten his name), and the food was ready promptly. It was nice to sit in the chairs and see the pretty view while we waited. If we lived nearby, for the quality and price, we would order from here at least weekly! read more

Still great food and great service! I love the fresh authentic food from here. It takes some time to prepare because it's so fresh! Here is a pic of updated times the owner said he had some problems updating Yelp! CASH ONLY NOW!! read more

Ruean Thai - Thai Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

Outdoor seating, GREAT food, friendly owners. Wednesday's Edition of Alli's Culinary Adventures and Tales Having gone to Show Low and not had time to eat this morning, I was HUNGRY!! My friend Lisa had told me about a Thai place in Show Low that her friend Dee had told her about (see how word of mouth works?). Now, the only Thai place I knew of was never open when I want by so, I checked this place out. Turns out, I HAVE seen this truck but never noticed if it was open or not. So, here we are... Ruean Thai, a food truck, stationed by the Mattress Factory and Motel 6, 1304 E. Deuce of Clubs. BTW, I LOVE food trucks!! Looking over the menu, it all looks good but...what, what, WHAT to order? Ok, I pick the Prik Khing Gai Krob and it was so so so delicious! Big chunks of chicken (I had to use 2 or even 3 bites per piece!), wonderfully coated and fried to a crispy and savory outside, in a setting of great veggies...sliced carrots, green beans, yellow & red bell peppers, all in a wonderful spicy, yet a bit sweet, sauce! A side bowl of white rice accompanies this dish. The aroma when I opened the bowl of that chicken, veggies, and sauce! Oh!!! The crispness of the veggies...no mushy carrots at this place! I love the coating on the chicken, crunchy & crispy and just plain tasty!! The chicken was moist, NOT dried out at all. As I said, the veggies had a good crisp to them, and the sauce...oh, that is some good sauce with this dish!! I didn't notice until I saw my pictures but the menu on their sideboard DOES note the levels of Thai spiciness. Since this was my first time there, I didn't even think about it. As this dish came, the spicy level was perfect. For most palates above 4 years old, you should be able to handle it just fine. Next time, though...I'm upping the heat level!!! I brought one piece of chicken, with just less than half the rice, and whatever veggies & sauce I could scoop out of the main bowl home for a snack later. I've included pictures of their paper menu so you can choose before you get there. Robin and his wife Oi (or is it Oy?) own and run this place and are super friendly. Oi has a lovely smile, though I didn't get to talk with her as she was the one preparing & cooking the food. No table outside, but they do have a couple of plastic chairs and some tree stumps to use under the shade of the tree. There is a cooler with water and soda outside, too. A set of plasticware, chop sticks, napkins, etc is on the counter when you order. Stop in to Ruean Thai if you have a hankering to try some great Thai food!!! While I was eating, I saw 3 or 4 people come walking up to order and take their food, so you know it is a good place. As Robin said, he wants to cater to their customer base in Show Low and, hey, it shows in their care of food prep and taste! read more

Had Yellow Curry On Tuesday Special. Was so amazing I could stop eating to take pictures!! Should have mile long line! read more

Great food good value. The yellow curry was so large I eat it for lunch and dinner. Clean trailer by steam with shade. I did take out. owner was very friendly. read more

Consistently good food. Medium spicy is about right for me, not so hot that you can't taste anything but still has a bit of a bite to it. Veggies are always good, cooked until tender but not soggy. I've had Thai food in places all across the country and have to say that this is one of the best. I think it's because they have a limited menu each day and aren't trying to do too much. I gave it 5 stars on Atmosphere because of the owner, fun to talk with while you're waiting read more

Place is pretty great. I have a thing for Panang Curry - and theirs did not disappoint. Could be spicier, or allow choosing of spice level like other places, but it was great nonetheless. Not bad for the only Thai place in town that is actually open when they say they are, and being a food truck?! Nice. read more

Should update yelp says open 11:00 to 7:00 Was closed 3:30 Tuesday would have like to have tried was waiting for Thai food. Maybe it was god will. Drove clear over just for this won't happen again read more

Awesome authentic thai food. Incredible customer service, huge portions and excellent taste. Highly Recommend

We found this food truck on our way from Scottsdale to Pinetop for a long weekend. Chicken Pad Thai is amazing. Bring your patience as there is a wait for the food but worth it. The Tom Yum soup was great as well. It was sooo good we also got an order on our way back to Scottsdale. Thank you for an amazing lunch!! read more

Delicious!! A small food wagon with very tasty Thai cuisine. We are repeat customers. Worth the wait. Can be a bit slow depending on how many customers are ahead of you. read more

Pad Thai is my go to get 3 stars if you like spice!! Usually takes some time but we'll worth the wait. read more

Ruean Thai - Pad Thai love it. - Thai Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

A limited daily menu, but always well prepared and delicious. It's takeout only. Parking is available by the adjacent mattress store; but access is a bit challenging due to traffic at the busy intersection. But well worth the effort. read more

Ruean Thai - Takeout only. - Thai Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

im the owner of Ruean Thai. id like to address the negative comments. if your feelings get hurt easily you might not want to read! my wife works extremely hard for the "residents" of Show Low. what comments ive read, that were negative, were the most ridiculous complaints! if you dont like our portions, or you want to complain abour spice levels, or if you want to just smear us in general, our place isnt for you! my wifes cooking beats anyones within 100's of miles! if you think i wont speak my mind, well your wrong! if you have a complaint, you see me face to face! anyone who knows me knows ill treat them right! this is my wifes business, but im the one you deal with concerning complaints! if it cant be worked out at the window, then put it here. Our "Regular" customers seem to not agree with you! If we had things worth being negative about in here, then id understand. We have gotten excellent health inspections. If you want bigger portions, we can provide $. But our prices are already too low in comparison to other Thai places that arent as good as my wifes cooking. Her spices are Thai chili peppers. How hot they are depends on whats in the bag when we buy it. Sometimes its real hot, simetimes its not. For those of you that cant function without the fires of hell in your belly, may i advise you have your favorite fire from hell on your home shelves. My wifes Thai cooking style youll not find anywhere unless you were invited to her home... someone took her meals, are half and left a mess as if a gog are from the bowl and put the unfinished mess on here and blamed my wife for it. So, you want respect, dont make a review, when it could be corrected at the window. read more

Amazing! We come to showlow once a year and this has become a place we have to have!! Great food and quick service.

Stopped by as I saw the few reviews on Yelp and let me tell you this place doesn't disappoint. I ordered the chicken pad Thai and it was made to order and was excellent. This place is owned by a gentleman and his wife. He does all the friendly service and she cooks. What a great spot I will definitely be back. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend. read more

Their food is the best in the White Mountains!!! I love going there, their service is fast and they cook with Avocado or Olive oil and I appreciate that, because I am allergic to soy. read more

It's a food truck and I give it 5 We've eaten there 4 times in 4 days - the plates are enough for lunch AND dinner. Her flavors are fresh and authentic. I hate to give a review because I don't want to stand in line for an hour once the word gets out but that's just being plain selfish. Super nice folks. I'd love to see them succeed. read more

We saw this place online and decided to give it a try. Right at duece of clubs and white mountain road. We placed our order with the gentleman that was friendly and little character. His wife was the cook and we wandered around behind them for about 10 minutes and well-a it was ready. We took it to a park near by and enjoyed the dinner. Was very good but could use a little more spicy heat, we can take it . Another one in the mountains worth a stop and enjoy read more

Ruean Thai - Pad Thai off course and coconut chicken soup - Thai Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

This Thai food was excellent. Price per meal is 13 dollars but give you a good portion of it. If you're not a big eater than I highly recommend to share with someone else. Food preparation is about 20-45 mins waiting time. I highly recommend you to call in early or you will have to be patience waiting for your meal to be cook. There are some lawn chair under the tree to sit and wait. Bring a book or just stare at the traffic going by! Each day they have different menus to choose from. If you're new to Thai food. I would recommend Pan Thai. If you're adventurous then I insist to order something else. If you have food allergies then this food is not recommended. This is a great place for date nights but I would recommend to bring your own drinks. Only problem is finding a parking place because it look well hidden. I can't guarantee you a good parking spot! read more

Ruean Thai - a close up of a meal in a container - Thai Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

See all

Ruean Thai is such a hidden gem in Show Low. Park in the Motel 6 and Mattress store parking lot and trot around to the back side of the mattress store and there is the Ruean Thai food truck. This is not fast food - it's amazing, fresh, authentic Thai food. Bring a camp chair and a good book to wait for your order under the big shade tree or chat with all the other regulars waiting. We have had the Chicken Pad Thai, the Chicken Curry dishes, the Fried Rice. All are amazing! The curry sauce has this perfect amount of heat. The chicken in all three dishes has been thinly sliced and incredibly tender. The "fried Rice" is nothing like you would usually get. There is no place in Tucson or Phoenix where I have had such good Thai food. The regulars rave about the Friday Mushroom Coconut soup. That is going to be our next dish to get. The menu is published on Facebook. There are 6 dishes a day. read more

read about this "Thai Food Truck" located next to the mattress store on Duece of Clubs so decided to give it a try!! it took time to make ( so i know it was fresh) but well worth it!

The food is fantastic and the friendliest people you will ever meet! I have always been turned off by the word curry. I have tried curry in the past and it literally left a terrible taste in my mouth and in my memories. When I went to try something new, I made the comment about not liking curry and was told I needed to at least sample it cause not all curry's are the same. Boy were they right! The mango curry is AMAZING!! I love, love, love the food. We've now tried several different items on the menu and have not been disappointed! Highly recommend. read more

Not only is this the best Thai food in the White Mountains, it's one of the best that I have tasted in my life! I love all of their dishes, especially the curries. Their chicken satay is so plump and juicy. Their truck is right next to the Show Low Matress store on Deuces Clubs. Be sure to stop by and try it, you will NOT be disappointed. read more
