Excellent food, and wonderful service!! My husband and I stopped in after walking around River Street. The lunch prices are excellent, and the food was so good. I got the pad Thai, and my husband got basil fried rice. The sauce with the garlic and onions was a winner too! Would definitely recommend. read more

Went at noon on a Tuesday and the place smelled like cleaning fluid, reeked actually, so I was smelling a toilet while eating. While I waited for my food I regretted coming here as the smell just was nauseating. They should keep the door open since it was cool outside at 60F. The place was empty. Booth tables were high. I got the $12 lunch special and ordered the panang curry and the rice was sticky, tofu was soft inside. Comes with a free spring roll. There's no hook on back of women's restroom to hang a purse. read more

Our party of 8 had a wonderful experience here, despite any negative reviews, I'm really glad we tried it out!! The speed of service stood out the most, and I loved the chicken pad Thai. Casual ambiance that wasn't too loud. Our waitress absolutely adored the toddler we had with our party. We also enjoyed an order of spring rolls and anyone who ordered the curry wanted to lick their plates clean. Would definitely return! read more

. This was our first time at this restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had a pleasant time. The food was simply amazing, with flavors that were perfectly balanced and seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Stopped by Ruan on a rainy Friday. Lunch special was $10 (entree plus a spring roll), which is an incredible deal. Overall the pad thai was saucier than I prefer, but I like that they let you customize the spice level. I picked medium and I thought it was an accurate spice level (you know, some places are too spicy or not enough, etc.). I also had a thai iced tea (no milk), which was delicious. In and out for about $16. Very good deal. read more

WOW!! The most authentic and delicious Thai food in Savannah. This is a MUST visit!! Every dish was fantastic, and the soft shell crab & green curry special was especially outstanding. If you like spicy, you must try their homemade chili sauces on the side. The waitress was extremely sweet and very helpful, and the atmosphere was gorgeous! The mango sticky rice was perfect at the end of our meal, it was warm and a perfect sized serving. read more

If you're looking for amazing Thai cuisine, Ruan Thai is a must try. The ambiance was very nice, great tunes were being played in the background, beautiful restaurant with amazing, thoughtful service. Shawn was our server, he made sure our dining experience was very enjoyable. We tried the sampler appetizer plate with satay chicken, chicken spring rolls, wontons... it was very tasty, crispy and fresh. The sauces shared varied from sweet to spicy, and paired perfectly with the appetizers. For dinner I had the pad Thai noodles with chicken, and my friend ordered the drunken noodles with chicken. We both enjoyed our noodle dishes, the vegetables were crisp, herbs aromatic, all the flavors were talking to us, so much, we couldn't help but talk about our experience through flavor country. Everything was perfect. I can't forget to rave about their Thai tea, 10/10, the tea to milk ratio was perfect. I highly recommend Ryan Thai. Great location! Warm hospitality! Delicious cuisine! Great ambiance! read more

This place does NOT get the recognition it deserves. Food was outstanding and so authentic! Generous portions and amazing flavor. Very affordable and reasonably priced meal for our family of four. Highly recommend visiting if you want authentic Thai cuisine! This is a Savannah MUST! read more

Ruan is a true mom and pop spot. In the many times I've come in for food there has not been one instance where I have not encountered the owner. She makes it a point to know her regulars and the sauces they like with their meals. If you're extra special she'll even have the kitchen make you certain items that are no longer on the menu. The service is always there and the food has never been less than amazing. I've recommended Ruan to several friends and I have not had a negative report back. They're just that good. Be mindful that although they are quick the restaurant is not huge so there can be a wait during lunch time and the dinner rush. Ruan is located on broughton street across from the on time fashion shop. I love that they have a chalkboard outside that shows the daily specials and a menu for those passing by to view. I've eaten my way through most of their menu but my top 3 favorites are the pad thai with no peanuts(personal preference) the shrimp and eggplant and any of the curries. Always medium spice. Their tofu is flavorful and the shrimp is perfectly cooked. Ruan is always a 10/10. read more

Ruan Thai Cuisine - Thai tea - Thai Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Nothing tasted fresh. If you order something fried, it should be hot to the touch. I felt sick immediately after ordering.

So I was wandering about and hungry and for no apparent reason I landed here. The decor is very nice as were the spring rolls that come with you lunch. That wraps up the good. I had Cashew Chicken hot, that lacked any heat at all and is was also completely absent flavor. The service was almost non-existent. I would think if I delivered a plate of "hot" I would check on that persons water. Although the food was lacking heat, Savanna is not and I was clearly two glasses of water in deficit. Then, as a licker, my bill was a very reasonable $10.70, I gave the guy a twenty and got $9.00 back. Yes, only thirty cents but that is not the point, it was my money to decide to leave as a top or not, not the servers choice. read more

Ruan Thai had an inviting atmosphere and attentive service however it lacked authenticity. The staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of throughout our visit. Our sever was very attentive and made a couple of suggestions for my mom. She went with the fried fish dinner and she loved it. I ordered the Chicken Larb and was highly disappointed. The flavors were milder and less bold from the authenticity I was seeking. On the positive side, if you're looking for a place to introduce someone to Thai cuisine who might not be accustomed to bold flavors, this restaurant could be a good choice. The menu includes familiar dishes, and the less intense flavors might appeal to a wider audience. read more

First off, fresh salad rolls were very disappointing. Very weak and to add insult was the syrupy hoisin sauce for dipping. I couldn't do it. Pad Thai... I've never had pad Thai taste like it was made with tomato sauce. Remember spaghetti-o's? There were strong notes of that in this dish. Odd and not in a good way. We tried the first curry at that top of the menu option for curries and asked for medium/hot. There was zero heat, but the flavor wasn't bad. The best was the fried rice. Portions much smaller than what we've experienced. Service warm and friendly but food... underwhelming. read more

I am a repeat player of Ruan Thai Cuisine on any given weekend day. I appreciate the fact the food is always fresh especially the seafood. My typical order is the whole fried snapper with basil sauce, but this time I tried the ginger which was good; however, I will return to my favorite. Next is the crab and shrimp fried rice followed by the mixed seafood and the larb gai or chicken salad and then an order or the cucumber salad. To round the meal, it is always the mango sticky rice for dessert which makes my meal so satisfying. All of this food made to order and I have not been disappointed to date even when I usually order my food ahead to pick it up to go. I highly encourage you to make Ruan Thai a hit on your playlist. read more

Food was good but wouldn't say it was awesome. So many core ingredients missing in Tom yum soup which should be a spam dunk for any Thai restaurant. Service is excellent. Rating is closer to a 3.5. Service - 4/5 Food - 3/5 Ambience - 3/5 read more

I came here for dinner with a friend Saturday evening around 6pm and were seated immediately. (Had to park several blocks away at the State St garage.) I was greeted by nice and attentive staff. I ordered the jasmine tea (had to use sugar because they don't offer honey, which is a bit strange), and the red curry (Hot). While the curry was good, it didn't have any spice at all. (My friend agreed with her hot-spiced pad Thai.) next time, I'll try the extra hot in hopes that it's at least a little spicy. read more

I usually always go to my spots. Haven't been there in a while. I gave them a couple of years ago. I believe a five-star review. I just went there this past weekend St. Patty's weekend + the steak I ordered was chewy a bunch of fats. The Thai chicken just tastes like it was flat ironed on the flat iron grill. No love was put into The dishes that was ordered and I ordered three peanut sauce. Iris, so amazing and the shrimp was not fresh local shrimp. They were definitely farm raised. It makes no sense to mark up the price or it to be so expensive. I don't mind paying for a good quality dish with good quality food read more

Stopped by to get a nice meal after standing in the sun a little too long. Our server made sure we got water immediately and set us up closest to the AC. She was super knowledgeable about all the dishes and helped us pick out our meals based on what we like. We ended up getting the Papaya Salad, Garden Noodles, Panang Curry and the Drunken Noodles. All of which were absolutely amazing. We devoured every bite. Food came out quickly and the service was great! read more

I've only visited Ruan once but I had a good experience. They were extremely busy so I didn't receive much assistance with ordering and it was my first time trying Thai.

Came here for dinner during a family excursion to Savannah, and unfortunately didn't have a great time. I ordered the Green Curry; the rest of the table got Tom Yum soup, Drunken Noodles, and Pad Thai. Prices averaged about $12-14 an entree. I thought my Green Curry was decent, and my mom liked the Pad Thai, but both the Tom Yum soup and the Drunken Noodles were severely over-salted: my dad ended up leaving most of his noodles on the plate and leaving hungry. The service wasn't great, either. Though we were seated promptly, nobody came over to check on us, refill any of our waters, or bring us the check until we were ready to leave. We eventually had to flag someone over for the bill and then bring it back up to the cash register so we could leave the restaurant. Not a great experience. read more

Newer to Savannah and my first choice was the flying monk but the wait didn't make sense. Walked in, maybe 2 other parties eating during lunch time. Not a good sign when 4 doors down the noodle place has a 30 minute wait. We were greeted, seated and watered immediately. Service was on point, food was good to very good. The only complaint was the quantity of food was a little light. Pricing was certainly fair. I'd return without question read more

Don't go here - this food is not authentic. You can tell they use bottled sauce for every dish here. Also, the salad is not fresh and they used some bagged salad mix from Kroger. We asked for level 4 spice and it was not spicy at all. The food was lacking flavor. The worst part - the pad Thai tasted like ketchup. We also ordered the fried wonton, there was only a teaspoon of filling! They were like crispy crackers and so disappointing Save yourself and do not eat here! read more

Food was delicious. It was awesome to find a place that actually served Thai Hot! We was very pleased with soups, the Thai Salad, the lunch specials starting at $9.00.

Big shot out and thanks to Pim and team for wonderful service! read more

Wow, what a gem! We had a delicious dinner at Ruen Thai. In fact, the whole experience was great. Our server, Sean, could not have been more pleasant and helpful. Everything we tried was super good too. Beware, they are not stingy with the food. You will not leave hungry. We started with the combo appetizer and some chicken Tom Kah. The dipping sauces are excellent and the appetizers very light and flavorful. The soup was very fresh and tasty as well. Hubby had the duck in ginger and I had the drunken noodles. It had lots of veggies, beef and the perfect amount of a nicely spiced sauce. We're a bit picky about our Thai food and Reun Thai did not disappoint. We would definitely return and will recommend to others. Try it, you'll like it. read more
