    Definitely a hole in the wall that's a must. -Seating hostess was great, very polite. There was not a table ready so she very quickly cleaned one for us. There is only a handful of tables available. -Server was same person, it is not her fault they were out of all cold black and green tea. But why not go get instant so you have a substitute? When she took our order she also did not ask a spice level. Luckily that meant no spice. The next tree tables she also did not ask spice level. - I had the drunken noodle, the vegetables were all raw, barely warm. There was hardly any noodle either. Tons of beef pieces but hardly any noodle.

    9. Crispy Fried Tofu & 1. Fresh Rolls
    Cassandra C.

    I've lived in Anchorage my whole life and eaten at just about every Thai place in town: this place has THE BEST fresh rolls, fried rice, and Thai Iced Teas over any other Thai restaurant in Anchorage! Their fresh rolls are loaded with fresh vegetables and they typically contain fresh mint as well! I can tell that they use quality ingredients and they don't include any of those filler rice noodles (which I have never cared for personally). My only minor complaint is that you only get 3 total but that is likely due to the higher cost of quality ingredients and no cheap fillers. The fresh rolls do typically come with some traditional Thai sauces that are not my fav so I always substitute the sauces for sweet chilli sauce instead. I love that they also are able to substitute coconut milk in their Thai Iced Teas and it tastes very creamy and fresh! Their fried rice (while a bit pricey) tastes like it was freshly made and is always very flavorful! I get the shrimp fried rice and the shrimp it contains are quite large instead of the usual mini-shrimp I have seen at most other restaurants. I also typically order their crispy tofu appetizer and love how perfectly crisp they come out on all sides! Their restaurant is very small so wouldn't be suitable for dine-in if you have a larger group but I've always gotten take-out and my food is usually done very quickly (aside from the odd occasion when they are very busy, like some weekend evenings).

    I was very impressed by this Thai restaurant. It's a little hole in the wall and my favorite food is curry so I have a goal of trying all the Thai places in Anchorage. I have not been to all of them but so far this is the best. The curry was Which filled with Picts and flavor and was perfect! Also bag rolls and noodle dishes were perfect as well. We got our food within minutes of ordering. I recommend this place as a quick go to to get awesome Thai food.

    35. Pad Thai
    Michael L.

    We were kinda craving some Asian food after being on vacation in Alaska for 9 days. We saw various Thai, Sushi, and Vietnamese restaurants around but this one caught my eye on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. Overall we were very satisfied with our dishes with regards to taste. I ordered the Pad Gra Pow and they unfortunately ran out of basil! I agreed to having it without basil but you can imagine that it didn't taste as it should have. The pad Thai was slightly sweet but not overly so. The pad see ew was good but the portion seemed a bit small. Overall it was solid but not as good as one could find in the Bay Area.

    Dry, overcooked duck.

    My mother ordered a roast duck for Thanksgiving and it was severely overcooked and dry. It was expensive too at $45. We will not be returning.

    My Son n I came here for our weekly date time, and it was superb deliciousness!!! Ms. Thea was our server and she was very personable, happy n good spirited. the restaurant was very clean and the ambiance was on point. I recommend this eatry anytime!

    Praram. Peanut sauce, fried tofu, spinach and veggies. Good but a little soupy.
    Lard Belly E.

    Royally good Thai food. Hyuk! So, a couple of colleagues and I got take out and tried a few different items. Gang Kua, Param, and Pad Thai. I got Param with fried tofu. It's fried tofu, spinach and veggies, covered in peanut sauce. Friend's Gang Kua is pineapple curry and smelled delicious. I want to try that next. Dude said his Pad Thai was good, and thought peanut sauce would make it better. Only complaint, and it's a small one, the curry and peanut sauce was a little soupy. Food from order to pickup was relatively fast, though there also wasn't anyone in the rant at 11:40 and they open at 11. Will order from again.

    Chicken Satai, Chicken Fried Rice and Pad Thai.

    May 21st 2020 Wifey and I had take out from here today. We ordered the Pad Thai, fried rice and chicken Satai. All three were very delicious. Best fried rice I've tasted!

    The food at Royal Thai was very good. Nice to have something other than salmon (Salmon is GREAT in Alaska, just not interested in having every day). The young woman who waited on us did a very good job. The casual ambiance made it a comfortable place to eat.

    A small dining area, great service and food. They offer new drink options two days a week and we ordered one. Our orders came out at a reasonable time, not too late. When we arrived they were busy and we thought that we would be waiting awhile but that was not the case. Say "hi" to Charles for us, he is usually the cashier, server, kitchen helper, and owner. Let them know that I sent you there!

    Why was my ordinary portion of Pad Thai $19? I wouldn't go back--about $5 too expensive per dish. Too bad.

    I had DoorDash from here once, and really enjoyed the Gaeng Massaman, then promptly forgot where…read moreI'd gotten it from. But tonight, after going to a different Thai food restaurant, who are now takeout only, which is a no-go, I needed an alternate, so I randomly selected from Yelp, a good Thai food recommendation, and when this appeared, I realised it was the place where I'd gotten the good Massaman from. However, their description states they are noted for their standout Panang. The interior is ok, not fine dining, standard tables and chairs, not too cluttered with artwork, and music was playing. As I also love Panang, I chose to have that with chicken, and husband ordered something called Khao Mu Dang. We also ordered a Thai Tea. The server was energetic, and smiled a lot. We didn't have to wait long, I was served a hefty portion of rice, and a big bowl of curry sauce. Mine came out first, and I started without him. I must say that I do agree, this is standout Panang, and it's the best I've had in Anchorage. It's just the right amount of kick. Just enough to get my nose running after a few mouthfuls. The sauce is amazing, and the chicken is plentiful, and very tender, and I do have leftover sauce and rice in the fridge for later. If it were served on its own as a soup, without rice, I'd call it "Chicken Soup for the Soul" because it surely did my soul good, even eating it alone without rice. Superb, perfectly spiced, perfectly seasoned, deliciously umami. I think I could eat this several times a week, and not feel cheated. His dish had some pretty spectacularly flavoured pork, it was delicious, and the sauce, yet again, so good, but his was what they call a "dry dish" whereas mine was "soupy" or maybe they call it wet. I don't know, all I know is, that the amount of times I was saying "mmmm" was kind of embarrassing. So, that was an absolutely delightful dinner, and I'm grateful because we'd not been anywhere in recent weeks that thrilled me like this. Will definitely be back for more. The Thai Tea was also very good.

I'm so glad we did because this ended up being the best meal we had while visiting Anchorage! I ordered the tofu pho and really enjoyed it. The broth was a little sweeter than what I personally prefer, but it was still delicious and packed with flavor. The tofu and other ingredients were fresh, and the bowl was comforting and satisfying. The staff was really nice and welcoming, and I loved the cozy, relaxed ambience. It was a great place to sit down and enjoy a warm bowl of pho after exploring Anchorage. Service was decent overall, although our waters were never refilled during the meal. Overall, this was definitely a highlight of our trip, and I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in Anchorage to try more of the menu!

We were the only patrons in the place at 8pm on a Saturday. We were met at the door by friendly host and waitress who offered us to sit wherever we wanted. The place was clean and well designed with decor. Nice touch with the water fountain at the front for a sound effect. They have a lot of food on the menu several pages. My first question was do you have gluten-free options and they said that they can do gluten-free on almost everything. The pleasant waitress was very knowledgeable as she has someone in her friend circle who deals with the same issue. I opted for the Three Flavor Fish that usually comes battered but for me they grilled it to make gluten free and it was pretty tasty. Came with a bowl rice. The Thai tea was presented very well in a tall glass and it was pretty tasty as compared to some that I've had. However, the straw is a bit short so I had to chase the straw. My husband had the sweet-and-sour combo with battered fish. His dish looked like mine, but it did not taste the same so the waitress said. He has also came with a bowl of rice. He also enjoyed his dish. I must say the halibut in my dish were small pieces. There was probably about five maybe six in there, but they were pretty tiny. I took a picture of That. Overall, it was a great experience. The waitress made it pleasant with conversation and attentiveness. Will return of course to try the Pad Thai as that's my jam and we have to see how it compares to others that we've tried in Anchorage and elsewhere.

Both were decent Thai style dishes, but not necessarily as good as I had hoped. The chicken satay was a bit dry and the sauce was too sweet.
