Very good food is served in an appealing presentation. The staff is pleasant and the atmosphere very nice. We have been here in the past and continue to do our Thai fix when on the Island

One tends toward "fish/seafood", when visiting Hilton Head. For a very nice "change of pace", try Ruan Thai I ... Well prepared, delicious Thai food at reasonable prices.

Had a "coupon". Had been there before. Like their 3 flavor fish. Server did not know anything. He had to go back to the kitchen to ask questions 3 times. We ordered the 3 flavor fish - overcooked. No one came to check on us until time to clear plates. Received the bill and we were overcharged $16.00. Server kept... More

We've visited two locations for this restaurant on Hilton Head Island. Both of them were great! Each of us had different entrees both times. We were very, very happy with our selections. In my case I tried two different Curry Chicken recipes, both of which were tasty, and fresh. The curry in both cases was very good, and the level... More

We had a late lunch at Ruan HHI with our 10 and 11 year old daughters. Ruan's was our girls favorite restaurant. They had Thai fried rice with chicken. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our food. Lunch is served with delicious soup. I definitely recommend the food and excellent service.

The dinner was very tasty. Unfortunately, for us, the place was mobbed, so the service was quite slow. We enjoyed our tom kha soup and the mussaman curry was good,and served hot. We will return.

We love Thai and have a great place we visit back home as much as possible. With that said we were disappointed with Ruan. They advertised an early bird special they no longer offer and the tables were not clean. We were not offered refills until we had finished our meals and were brought the bill. We will not be...
