    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.

    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.

    Thea is so amazing! Me and my boyfriend loooove this place. THE best fried rice but Thea & her aura and kindness just makes the place all the more better. 100000000% recommend.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Great new Thai spot in a town full of great Thai spots. Place is small and seems to be setup more as a takeout place. Menu is extensive and features classic Thai favorites as well as more authentic dishes. Service was very friendly. I got the green curry, as hot as they could make it ("hellfire"). It was very food, although not all that hot. (disclaimer: I like my food extremely hot, if my forehead ain't sweatin', it ain't hot enough!) I wish they had some sort of lunch specials here, that's the only thing holding them back.

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

The woman working there-could not have been nicer-seated me as quickly as possible and apologized for the inconvenience. I got the fresh rolls (Summer rolls) with shrimp and shrimp fried rice (level 4-1 below Thai hot). I typically would never get fried rice at a Thai restaurant although it is common to their cuisine but I was not in the mood for curry or noodles. The dish was fresh, spicy, the shrimp were large and fresh. Simple, tasty, cooked to order and uprising flavorful. The fresh rolls were delicious, overstuffed, and came with two dipping sauces; the standard peanut sauce (although a little thinner than what is typical) and what was similar to a green goddess sauce/dressing. Both sauces were just ok. I prefer chili oil and luckily the table condiments had that and several others to offer. The meal was inexpensive and overall delicious. The staff were very kind and I will definitely be returning.

This one also had imitation krab, which is fine but not my favorite. The side dish of garnishes was kind of weak, just bean sprouts, lime and jalepenos. I wish it had cilantro. They must have been out of basil that day too, because we didn't get any with the pho. I want to find a seafood pho with fish cake or house made seafood balls. I think I maybe set my expectations a bit high since moving from Hawaii, every pho place there is a peak experience. My husband tried the beef brisket massaman curry which he thought was very watery and very light in the spice department, which he didn't like much. However our child loved her small kid size chicken pho and we all loved the mango smoothie. It's one of the most flavorful smoothies with perfectly thick blended consistency that you can still suck up the straw. Ambiance is kind of old, dank, dark, and dated but also holds some oddly charming quality nonetheless. Service was straight-forward. Special s/o to the man who welcomed us in, immediately fetched a high chair for our child, and then also helped me with my giant diaper bag which he didn't have to do but was very appreciated. I bet he's a dad.
