The food was very flavorful. What the ambiance lacks is made up in great service and excellent food choices. There were plenty of vegetarian options, besides tons of general meat options. The staff was very courteous. Overall, great food for a good price.

Pros: Food, prompt and courteous service

Cons: Ambiance

Ew they put the to-go rice in a plastic baggie and it turned to a gross solid mass. Ruined the meal. What were they thinking?

This is our favorite we keep coming back to. The food is flavorful, and unlike some other Thai food, it's not too oily. They always seem a bit understaffed, but the staff are friendly and courteous. They have a banquet room too where we had a highly successful family party. They have plenty of vegetarian options and they can make the food plenty spicy (or not) according to your taste. So delicious!

My friends took me out to Ruen Pair to celebrate my birthday this past Sunday. It was my first time there and I must say the place is amazing. There was 10 of us in our group so we were seated in the back of the restaurant in a small private room all for ourselves. It was perfect for us since we have kids and tend to make a lot of noise. We started off with a few appetizers, Satay, Egg Rolls, Angel Wings which the kids just loved to pick up with their hands, and coconut soup Tom Ka Gai. The waitress asked us how spicy we wanted our soup and we said Medium. My friend warned me that Ruen Pair's medium is usually on the hot side, but we tried it anyways since we're used to hot Mexican food. The soup was perfect. Just enough spicy to make me sweat, but a little to spicy for the kids though so we ordered the rest of our dinner on the mild side. We had the Panang Curry and the Green Curry, I just love curries. We also ordered BBQ Chicken and Pad Thai Chicken which the kids just loved. By the time we had finished our dinner and opened all the presents it was time for the cake. The waitress brought the cake out with a sparkling candle to our table. Overall we had a great night. Great food and great service. I'll be back!
