Ruan Thai is a top-rated, family-owned Thai restaurant. It was one of the most popular restaurants we visited last year! Menu at https://ruanthaiwheaton.com. Per the chef, vegan options are available - just ask for your preferred dish to be made vegan, and they will try to accommodate :) We will meet at the restaurant around 4:30 pm.
