    Red Thai with  shrimp.
    Cindy H.

    Red Thai with Shrimp and jasmine rice & Green Thai with tofu and rice. Both were delicious This was our first time here. Service was great. It's Thanksgiving weekend, so it wasn't busy 4 pm, but it's a nice family comfortable place. We will be back.

    Chicken satay
    Phil P.

    This is only the second time I've been here in the past three years but I used to come at least once a month. Kids...COVID... Anyway, let's start with the Boba. Little guy didn't want any real food today--just a smoothie--so he picked out the Blueberry Pineapple smoothie with Strawberry popping bobas, which we all liked. I'm more of a green-smoothies-at-home and avocado-with-black-tapioca-balls-when-I'm-out kinda guy, but this was good. We all enjoyed it as soon as he was full but until then, this typically generous kid wasn't sharing the boba tea. He liked it that much. Made with real tamarind instead of peanut butter, the chicken pad thai here is excellent. I haven't eaten out enough in the past year to rate it against other establishments, but three years ago it was the only pad thai I'd eat on the East Bank. Still good today--better than I remembered, not as good as my wife remembered, so...a wash. As good. The chicken green curry is my wife's favorite dish here and it did not disappoint. The chicken satay was not as good as it used to be. The chicken was a little tough today--it's usually delightfully moist and tender--but the flavor was still excellent, and the sweet chili sauce with fresh cucumber is amazing. Royal Thai is definitely going back into our new/old normal.

    Thai Tea with Brown Sugar Jelly
    Ryan N.

    The service was very nice. Their Thai tea was so delicious! I added the brown sugar jelly in it, and it made the flavor even better! For the food that I ate, I ordered the Royal Spaghetti, but it was not the best as they added too much oil to the meal; however, maybe this just comes to my preference and the fact that I just simply chose the wrong dish. The dishes that the rest of my cousins ate looks better than mines, so I won't judge too harshly. As for the decor, it's not aesthetic and trendy, but the customer service made up for it. In conclusion, I would come back and try a better dish.

    Pad thai with shrimp
    Uriia H.

    DINE IN: This little spot is close to where I live so I have been wanting to try it. Its a very small, unassuming restaurant located in a small building that you could easily overlook. I was greeted immediately and allowed to sit anywhere since it was still fairly early for dinner. I went for my favorite go to...Pad Thai with shrimp. It did not disappoint. The flavor was great, shrimp were a nice size, and I didn't wait long to receive it. The crowd did pick up..made me a bit nervous as I did see a couple of people walk in without masks..they appeared to be regulars..still no excuse bc there was a sign posted that saif masks were required to enter. I think next time I will opt for pick up since the food was definitely worth a return visit.

    We have been coming here on a steady basis since they opened over 6 years ago. Sometimes, just my wife and I and others times with as many as a dozen friends (we always let them know when the group is that large). I have probably tried everything on the menu by now. Lately I tend to order the different curry dishes with an occasional jaunt back to the pad Thai. The food is always great. Service is spot on for a family restaurant. They have a minimal bar so they let us bring our own wine with no corkage fee. We tip well. They are happy. We are happy.

    Drunken Noodles
    Connor B.

    Royal Thai is the epitome of hole in the wall. It's located kind of randomly out in Harahan. The curbside appeal is not everything (like at all), but the restaurant is welcoming and cozy once you walk in. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the food was scrumptious. We ordered 4 different items- royal paper shrimp, tom yum goong, pad kee mow, and the basil eggplant sautéed with chicken (not pictured as I was too excited to try it and forgot to snap a picture). The shrimp came with a sauce, and it was delicious!! Not to mention how cute the presentation looked. The tom yum goong (soup dish) is perfect for a cold, muggy say. It's just sour enough with plentiful aromatics. However, if you're not a cilantro girlie like me, maybe see if you can do without. It's not too overpowering, but her presence is known. The drunken noodles were LOVELY!! The flavor and sauce and veggies did not come to play. For the sautéed eggplant with chicken, the eggplant really tied it all together as it soaked up the flavors and spices. I'd order everything again it was perfectly satisfying. Regarding price, it's not the cheapest- our 4 items were a total of $50. But definitely try this out if you're looking for authentic Thai food!!!

    Royal Thai Fried Rice

    This is a little hidden gem! Small place, nice servers. Definitely recommend the Royal Thai fried rice!

    Green curry with chicken. Eggplant was cooked well. Not pictured.

    The royal dip was different. Meat with type of sweet sauce on it with chips. Some of us enjoyed it. Some of us thought it was just OK but nothing special. Pad Thai was not good because it did not have any flavor to it. The noodles were good and the eggs were good, but there was just not much flavor. The green curry with chicken was very tasty And the eggplant was cooked well that was in it. Could've used more sauce and placed in a bowl with the rice on the side but very good one of the best curries I've had. The basil fried rice was very good. This was the best thing we had I believe. It was well worth the trip there, and we would go again. The lunch servings were very large. We had leftovers for everyone's plate.

    Yellow curry lamb
    Huyen N.

    Came here for lunch and was pretty disappointed. We must've went on a bad day because a lot of reviews said the service was quick. Sadly, it wasn't for us. Good thing we weren't on a lunch break like others around us. We were seated promptly but everything else took way too long. From ordering to the time our food were served, we must've waited an hour. We ordered a tom yum soup and fried calamari for appetizers. The soup..the soup was different. I've never tasted one like it. I took two sips and couldn't get myself to finish it. Fried calamari was ok. There were more fried garlic or onion bits than calamari itself. For entrees, we ordered a garlic and black pepper shrimp and a yellow curry lamb. Tasted nothing but black pepper on the shrimp dish. That's mainly what you see. I thought they'd cook with it, not sprinkle the entire plate with it. Well, it was much more than sprinkle. The lamb wasn't that great either. So, so disappointed. Overall, it was not worth the wait. I wish it was though.

I'm not sure I could pick a favorite dish out of the three we got, but I will say I took an extra Salmon Curry to go ;) Will be back!

    I've been meaning to come here since the new owners opened as I've heard lots of good things!…read more Location and parking were much easier than I expected and both surprisingly convenient. First green flag: Smells great walking in. Second, what a lovely place to take a rest from the hustle and bustle of uptown! This newly renovated establishment is clean, relaxing and a treasure trove of green flags for me: fresh, delicious, spicy, meaty, salty, sour, crispy and sweet. I did notice good vegetarian options available too. (I'm not vegatarian but it is a mark of a good Thai menu.) A lot of take out and delivery orders were being picked up on this weekday leaving plenty enough room for our larger party so that was great. It is always good sign when the local residents are picking up meals for home. If I lived in the area, this would be a weekly pick up order for me too because the food was fan-freaking-tastic ya hear?! Curry and duck choices were thoroughly enjoyed by our table of experienced diners. I tasted four curries, all winners in my book and a must for a good Thai restaurant. Yellow and massaman were my family's favorites. My personal favorites though were the appetizers, soup and deserts! Those were really special. I regret not taking more photographs but was carried away with excitement. I recommend for dining in, takeout, delivery but especially parties, you pick up a few orders of Bangkok wings, golden bags sweet rice with custard, and crispy roti, for a most impressive spread! Tom Yum and Tom Ka are my usual lunch orders so I tried the Tom Ka and liked it as much as Thai Ocha, my normal favorite. For reference, I like mine spicy but a little sweet, served hot. The restroom was super clean and private, bonus points from me. Service was attentive but not intrusive, just perfect for a nice, calm evening dinner. Last notes are pretty music was playing but I turn it up a little because I love Thai music of all genres. Their liquor license is pending right now, not an issue for our group. Best of luck for a prosperous future Bangkok Thai!
