Honey basil chicken
Paul S.

I'm always happy with the honey basil chicken! It's especially good when you get a little extra special presentation!

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.

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!!!

Yellow curry lamb
Roger B.

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.

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 glad I listened because they were delicious. It's a tiny little restaurant but it packs a big punch! David greeted us and brought us to our table. I wish I found out the Asian lady's name bc she checked on us too and got us more peanuts to put on my friend's shrimp drunken noodles (with huge shrimp!) and more sauce too! Can I tell you, they might have the best pad Thai with beef and tofu that I've had in a long time! Everything tasted flavorful and fresh! And their stuffed chicken wings aren't something you normally see on a menu. They tested homemade like when I made them once a long time ago with my Hmong friend in her Brooklyn apartment like 18 years ago? And don't even get me started on their boozy boba with the mango, limeade, and slice of mango. Admittedly I'm a lightweight but it was strong and tasty! It had me sweating there a little! Haha Plus the summer rolls were fresh and tasty too with the cilantro and mint flavors coming through. Let's just say I'll be back and will be eating myself through their menu. I just wish they were open on Sundays but I get it, everyone needs a day of rest!

The inside was a bit small and narrow, but the decorum still looked clean, neat, and gave off traditional Thailand vibes. Service was very friendly and helpful whenever we had questions about the menu. I ordered their "Kao Moo Dang" dish which consists of TukTuk Style BBQ Red Pork, Crispy Pork Belly, Boiled egg with red sesame topping sauce. Serve with rice, green onions, cilantro, cucumber, and dark soy dipping sauce with Jalapeño ($19.99 not including tax). The dish was very flavorful and tasty! I can tell the dish was authentically made as some Thai places kind of "Americanify" some of their dishes. I do wish the portion was a bit bigger since the dish was a bit pricy. As for my drink, I got their "Thai Tea Palmer" which is Thai Tea infused with fresh lemon juice, crystal konjac pearls ($7.99 not including tax). Now this is a drink that I would get again! I didn't think Thai tea and lemon juice would perfectly mix together, but I was proven wrong! My friend and cousin shared their Chicken Pad Zee Ew ($17.99) They said their dishes were good. For dessert, we got their Thai Tea Ice Cream and Coconut Ice Cream ($9.99 each not including tax). Now this was worth the price! The sizing of it was really big and the ice cream had a lot of flavor to it. Texture was stretchy but in a good way. This is a pretty good Thai place to dine in at, as it is considered a "hole in a wall." The only downside for me is how small and cramped it is inside and how small and limited the parking is outside. I also wished the sizing of the entire dishes were bigger for the price, but taste wise everything was perfect for me! I would consider trying it out if I was in the area and craving Thai food!

For entrees we ordered a ton - cashew shrimp, massamam curry, spicy pork fried rice, chicken fried rice and chicken noodles. Except for the noodles, everything was very good. If I had to pick one, I would absolutely order the massamam curry again. Spicy pork fried could have been spicier. Great service and ambiance as well. Highly recommend it.

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!
