First time here. I got the Pad See Ew with beef and it was pretty good. However, I feel this dish is pretty much the same everywhere I go. I usually get it with chicken, but the beef was actually...

My litmus taste for authenticity at a Thai restaurant is whether or not they have tod mun pla (fish cakes) on the menu. This place does. They are not great, but just the fact that they have them on...

The food was pretty tasty, the service was excellent, but they deep-fry everything that they possibly can. The sweet and sour curry was delicious, but there was no need to deep-fry the catfish in it....

Ruan Thai is, in my humble opinion, the best Thai in the area. I love the watercress salad here--the battered, deep fried watercress is perfectly cooked and the batter is not too heavy or greasy....
