    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!!!
    Maureen W.

    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.

    This was my first time ever trying Aroy-D Thai Cuisine and it certainly did not disappoint!…read morePortions were surprisingly large and definitely big enough to share with another person or to have leftovers for yourself if you don't have a huge appetite. I tried their Fresh Chilies Stir Fried with beef (it also comes with a side of Jasmine Rice). I went with the spiciest they could make; "Native Hot" is what they call it here. It definitely was spicy and sinus clearing, but not as tear jerking as I've received at Thai Khao Kaeng Express and Pizzeria in Roy. (I do have an abnormally high tolerance to spice though, so it definitely could be an individual problem.. lol). I also ordered their Crab Cheese Wonton appetizer and good Lord, hands down, these were the most stuffed wontons that I have ever had! Insanely delicious, cooked perfectly, and just exploding with cream cheese and crab upon first bite. They also came with a side of sweet chili sauce, but they're so flavorful, you honestly might not even need the sauce. Yum! Last was the Thai Iced Coffee (they give you a choice of it being made with either milk or cream). I went with cream, and it was rich, flavorful, and oh so filling that I almost forgot to eat the the food that I ordered ;+) I absolutely 100% recommend Aroy-D Thai on 12th Street in Ogden. They have a large menu, competitive prices, and fresh delicious Thai food sure to satisfy anyone's palate. Thank you Aroy-D for such an amazing experience.

We order a bunch of items to share and my husband (who is Thai) wanted to see how they all compared to other Thai places we've visited. The chicken satay was chewy and a little sad to look at. The papaya salad was also chewy and didn't have the sharp acidic and spicy flavor of other versions of it. The larb was just okay and could have been a little spicier. The best thing we ate was the chicken pineapple curry. The curry had a good flavor. My husband and one of our friends had the very large Thai teas and mentioned that they were quite sweet and caused a bit of a tummy ache. Overall, we weren't impressed by the food, and the folks who took care of us were kind.

    Thai Khao Kaeng Express and Pizzeria is officially the only legit Thai restaurant that I have found…read morein all of Utah. If you actually are interested in spicy extreme (and you'd better be), this is the only restaurant that I have found that will do (nak mak pet mak) for you. I actually started learning Thai strictly for this restaurant so I could communicate my wants/needs better to them. And they deliver each and every single time! Both in quantity and quality. I've been working my way through their menu, but any and all of their appetizers/curries/stir-fry/salads/noodles/smoothies/beverage selection/pizza/wings/breadsticks/etc will not disappoint! Quite possibly one of the few times that I've ever said that. Yes, I have been back for their pizzas (if you want crispier, just ask for an additional 3 minutes in the oven). Smoothies are absolutely delicious but their Thai Iced Coffee really threw me for a loop. It was beyond amazing, especially considering it had been years since I've had an appropriately made flavorful iced coffee. Especially strong. As you can see I'm very extreme; (spicy and caffeinated to the hilt) and I think I'm living in Heaven when a restaurant actually produces such amazing products! Pork wontons were a recent standout along with their vegetable stir fry. TBH, I felt like I was cheating when this restaurant closed for a little over a week last month and I was left to scramble trying to find another Thai restaurant for food (I'm currently addicted to Thai food it seems). I literally have ate the food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner depending on work hours; so I greatly appreciate all that this restaurant has done for me. And BTW, the customer service is excellent! They will aim to please. Each and every single time. Beyond HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Who could resist trying a place that has Thai food AND pizza?…read more I love Thai food and I like pizza, so the thought of ordering a Thai pizza was really intriguing. After looking at their rating, we had to try it. We ordered the Thai Pizza , Tom Yum Kai, and Pad Thai. The server brought the condiments which included Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, and chili oil. What a combo! What a nice surprise! Who would've thought that curry and pizza would go together? Pad Thai was really good. Lots of flavor and very fresh ingredients. Tom Yum Kai has just the right amount of spice and was incredibly flavorful. You can taste the lemongrass and a hint of fish sauce. We also ordered the chicken satay. Hints of curry and the peanut sauce was one of the better ones we've had. Give this place a chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

    Nice Thai place for many years near the Best Western Plus by the mall. Tables for any size party. I…read moredined alone, and there are two-top tables, but I was seated in a separate dining room as the lone diner at a table for six. It was nice to be in that room. There were several other diners but it was peaceful. I ordered panang curry pork. Before it arrived, I was given a side salad that I wasn't expecting, which made for a good start. I asked about their spice levels, which go 1-5. They said if I had had Thai hot things, 5 would be fine. And it was just fine! Great flavor, good rice and a portion that you could share. I got some massaman curry chicken to take for the folks back home, at a medium spice. This is a family favorite and this was a good rendition. We would opt for a higher spice level next time, that's just how we roll. Service was attentive but not overbearing. My water glass never ran dry :-) A nice setting and we will be back.

    99 Thai Fusion is a place that I just want to love, so much so that I've been there twice. Sadly,…read moreit really isn't hitting the authentic Thai mark (especially in regards to spice). First time, I ordered their Ginger Stir-Fry entree with beef. You can choose fried rice for an extra $1 over the steamed Thai Jasmine. So that is what I did. The spice levels go from 1 to 5. I chose 5 and instead of cooking the Stir-Fry in spice, they gave me a small condiment cup with chopped peppers. There was spice in the condiment cup; but definitely not a level 5 and certainly not enough for the whole entree. Very disappointing there. The Stir-Fry itself was completely bland, pretty greasy, and slimy throughout. Definitely too much vegetable oil was used in the cooking process. The beef was quite a bit undercooked (almost raw). Sadly the whole entree itself was a disaster... but, the fried rice definitely (somewhat) made up for it. It had a slight garlic taste to it along with some miniscule egg fragments. Either way, I decided I would give this place another shot on a different day. So for my next visit, I decided to go with their lunch combo/special so I could try out a few other things minus a large bill if it didn't work out. It includes your choice of entree from their lunch combo menu (along with meat preference), plus salad/one egg roll/steamed Thai Jasmine Rice/choice of soup (either hot & sour or coconut). I went with the Black Pepper Garlic Stir-Fry with beef and their coconut soup. Once again, I requested level 5. Instead of the chopped chili's, this time I just received a small condiment cup of chili flakes. The Stir-Fry was completely bland and once again greasy/slimy, and also a very small portion size compared to other Thai restaurants that offer lunch specials. The egg roll came with sweet chili sauce and was pretty good. The rice was okay. The coconut soup is what blew my mind! OMG, what a delicious surprise! UGH, I want it right now just thinking about it. It was by far quite possibly, the best tasting soup that I have ever had. The flavor had a bit of sweetness but not too much. It also contained cabbage and tiny chopped pieces of chicken. The liquid itself was just fine on it's own, and TBH I didn't even notice it had other ingredients until I started scooping instead of slurping (lol). Surprisingly the complimentary salad was also a nice surprise. Very basic looking, but it was extremely fresh (definitely had been washed but wasn't drenched or dried up), extremely crisp, and also flavorful with the included Ginger dressing. So as you can see, I'm on the fence about this place. Restaurant was clean and employees were very friendly during both of my visits. Only wish they would actually honor level 5 (Thai Spicy) and maybe cook the beef just a little bit longer and lay off of the cooking oil. But that coconut soup is definetly calling my name for another day.....
