Ruan Thai Hut - Hilton Head

This is huge surprise and a gem of restaurant! We visited last night as our jaws dropped when the food arrived with the presentation and taste of food. I am ready to drive from Charlotte for this food again, that’s 4 hours!

Very pretty, very expensive and extremely bland food. Some of the most flavorless Thai food I have ever eaten. Tom Yum broth had no lemongrass flavor and weak chicken flavor. Pad Thai was flavorless and a tiny portion $28). Drunken noodles tasted like they were out of a box the noodles). It was also flavorless and $28 for a tiny portion. Not sure who’s cooking there but I bet they’re not from Thailand.

We travel to HHI a lot and this place is a favorite. It is our favorite Thai place, period. We go in a big group with extended family and we go early. They are very accommodating to us and we always get excellent food and service. I like the pad see ew and Massaman curry (pictured below) Many of my family orders the salmon The kids like pad Thai, and Thai fried rice it comes with a good amount of veggies. There is a nice outdoor seating area. They serve beer in frosty mugs. Easily a five star experience.

Excellent cuisine, friendly and hospitable staff, serene atmosphere. This is our favorite restaurant in Hilton Head!

The food is good but I come here every day for lunch and for some reason my price is all was different I ordered the same thing every time and it be different like I never paid $55 for 2 at lunch
