I was craving some Thai food on a recent business trip and this place had some good reviews. This place is in the Kroger parking lot and is sparsely decorated. I was quickly greeted And presented with a menu. I ordered A spicy Panang curry and Shrimp Shumai. The Panang was extremely watery and had about 5 pieces of chicken in it, and was mostly carrots. The Shumai was decent, but I would stay away if you're craving good Thai. read more

Amazing food. Ambience and service is excellent. They love their tofu pad Thai. My husband loved to eat there too.

Unassuming locally-owned Thai restaurant in Heath, Ohio with amazing food. We don't eat out often but, if we do, this is one of two local places we enjoy and have never been disappointed. I usually get the Pad Thai with shrimp (pictured) or Massaman Curry with chicken and my partner gets Chicken Fried Rice or Lo Mein. The portions are hefty - the shrimp are huge and the Pad Thai comes with 10. I've never had so much shrimp included at any other Thai restaurant. It's cooked perfectly and the flavor is excellent. I enjoy spicy foods but the medium is almost too much for me so I stick with mild. My partner doesn't like spicy food and orders no spice. The service is top notch, too - the woman working in the front is very attentive and polite. read more

Came here again after 13 years. Food was great! Service was amazing! Prices are still a bit high, but an overall great experience for a Thai restaurant in Heath, OH! read more

Royal Thai - top to bottom: chicken pad thai, mango fried rice, and pineapple fried rice - Thai Near Me - Heath, Ohio

The food was great. The service was excellent. I assume this is a husband and wife operation. Both of them came out to check on me and to find out what I thought about the food. I never would've expected to see this quality at this location. I'll be back again next time I'm passing through! Best of luck and thank you for the experience read more

It began in Siberia. The kind of Siberia you read about in books but never expect to stand in -- an infinite horizon of snow and silence that makes you realize the world doesn't care whether you are alive or not. I was there without a purpose, which is to say, without a direction. That is, until the thought came to me, sudden and absolute: There is Thai food in Ohio. The idea was absurd, almost laughable -- until it wasn't. It became a drumbeat in my mind, a summons I could not ignore. Every step I took from that moment forward was guided by the invisible, intoxicating promise of Pad Thai served under fluorescent lights in the American Midwest. The journey north was long enough that time itself became untrustworthy. In the polar regions, the sun refused to set and refused to rise, and the world was nothing but white -- until the white moved. Polar bears appeared, not as predators, but as trial-by-combat emissaries from whatever higher power governs irrational quests. They gave chase, their roars tearing through the wind, and I ran in boots stiff with frost, clutching nothing but my passport and the belief that Ohio was waiting. Weeks bled into months. I passed through landscapes where human life seemed impossible, and yet my thoughts returned to noodles. Not survival, not warmth -- just noodles. I began to suspect I had invented Ohio entirely, and that my mind had conjured it as a final mirage before surrender. But then, there it was. The restaurant stood in a strip of forgotten concrete, the kind of place where the only color came from flickering neon. Inside, the air was thick with the sweet-sour scent of fish sauce and the faint chemical tang of industrial floor cleaner that had long since lost its battle with the grime. The tables were mismatched, the chairs wobbled, and the lighting was the color of a tired cigarette filter. Half the clientele were local homeless men and women, hunched over plates as they drifted in and out of narcotic half-dreams, their eyes clouded with morphine and amphetamines. They spoke in slow, looping murmurs, sometimes to each other, sometimes to no one at all. Their movements were loose, unhurried, as though the boundaries between waking and sleeping, life and afterlife, had blurred into one long, slow sway. Far from detracting from the experience, their presence seemed to complete it. They were the chorus to my epic -- the weary, wandering souls of this place, moving like the lively dead, their conversations slurring into something almost like music. I ate in silence among them, an interloper in their strange, suspended world. And the Pad Thai? It was... fine. Not transcendent, not terrible. Warm, filling, unremarkable. After crossing ice floes, surviving bears, and trudging through wind that could strip the skin from your face, I found myself at the end of all things with nothing more than an ordinary plate of noodles. And yet, I would not change a thing. Four stars. One removed for the wobbly chair. read more

Thanke, for coming! Food is always good but sometimes a little different from what I think lm getting as I don't know Thai food that good. But that's part of the adventure to learn and try new things. Always fast service for only a couple people working and just as friendly as you can find. Try it, you will like it! read more

Amazing food, I had the Massaman Curry. I will definitely be coming back! Service was very quick and the ambiance of the place was well paired with the music. Super sweet server. read more

This place is a fantastic spot for authentic Thai cuisine, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy a delightful dining experience The menu is diverse, featuring traditional Thai dishes crafted with authentic ingredients and aromatic spices. Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Papaya Salad are incredibly delicious. Each bite was a true delight. Amazing!! Service at Royal Thai is consistently praised for being attentive and friendly. The cozy ambiance, complemented by calming background music, enhances the overall dining experience I'm definitely looking forward to make this place a regular spot read more

I am pretty obsessed with Tom Yum soup. I am sort of serious about it when I order two extra large portions. I'll likely eat on that for lunch for days. The family seemed super nice, but they refused to make my Thai tea without ice, even though I wanted it for the next day, and then the soup just... ugh. There was literally nothing in it. Mostly broth, and it wasn't spicy enough for me. I had been passing this place and waiting to try it for awhile, but overall the prices were high and the food we got in return was just not worth it. There are way too many better options for me to ever return. read more

Decent food. Ordered take out. They only are doing to go orders currently. It took about 30 minutes during a busy dinner time. I ordered spring rolls which I thought were very good. I really liked the sauce that came with them. The pineapple chicken fried rice was decent. It would have been so good if there were more cashews and pineapple. I really liked the drunken noodles. They were flavorful. I did not like the pad Thai. It was definitely my least favorite dish. The staff was nice and it was easy to get the takeout order. Keep calling if it says "user busy". read more

The service was good, the owner of the restaurant was very kind and quick. I enjoyed the lunch portion size and flavor. However it was extremely SALTY. My friend got the drunken noodles and said hers was as well. I asked for mild spice, but I tasted no spice. I think next time I will get the medium or even hot if I am back in this part of Ohio. read more

Pad Thai is very flavorful and the lunch portion size was quite large. The service was very good and pleasant.

Good food and friendly service. Chicken Egg Roll was amazing. The staff super friendly, kind and so helpful. The atmosphere of the place was welcoming. read more

This is a great little no frills Thai hot spot. The place is small with minimal decor but very clean. They sell on flavor and they have that in spades. I love Thai food and their massaman curry can stand up against Thai you'd get in Chicago or NYC. I had the 4 out of 10 and it was plenty hot without being overwhelming. This place is added to approved list for heath and Newark! read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant and I previously gave them 5 star review. However very disappointed in prices since the new owners took over. read more

Years ago this place was famous for having aggressively spicy food--to the extent that it felt like a gag to trick unsuspecting diners. Fun to see reactions but owners weren't catering to local taste. Place is under new ownership and it seems like they e adapted too much. Dishes seemed to skimp on Thai-specific ingredients like fish sauce, coconut milk, and even papaya in a papaya salad in favor of more American standards like lime juice, iceberg lettuce, etc. If you are intimidated by Thai food you may still like this place but if you want the taste of lemongrass, coconut milk, fish sauce, etc., there are better options. read more

The food at this place is really good. Really good. The service is slow because they hand craft every meal and only have one wok to cook in. I appreciate this to the max. The staff is awesome and the atmos is totes rad. read more

This place ROCKS. The owners/staff are super friendly and the food was QUITE good. They got my order out quickly and even gave me a bit extra which was a nice surprise. The portions are generous and once again, I loved the food. I WILL be back here next time I'm in town for business. Don't miss this spot if you're craving Thai. read more

Decided to try this Thai restaurant. Very disappointed especially since the prices were higher than most restaurants. I ordered the Thai fried rice and the flavor was missing for a good Thai fried rice. The yakisoba fried noodles was also lacking flavor and oily. I have had some good Thai food in Columbus. It's sad that Newark doesn't have a good Thai place yet especially when you can't make the basics. read more

Royal Thai is the best restaurant in Heath. It has a good Thai menu. The food is actually spicy. It sucks going to places that are supposed to be spicy but they aren't. That won't be a problem here. I had the pad prick khing with tofu as the protein choice. It has a choice of beef, chicken, of tofu for many items. The entrees are usually about $9 to $12 but these are worthy of the price. It should be noted the food is hotter than most Thai places you've been at. The spice levels they have are much higher. A spice at level one is like sriracha, not so bad. The spice at level seven makes a ghost pepper seem like an icicle. It can get even hotter. The spice at level ten is even more ridiculous. If you want burning hot food go to Royal Thai. It offers spice on the side so you can adjust it. This is recommended if you haven't been there. read more

Just average. Had the pad thai. There's too much of something in it, not sure what - maybe the reddish orange sauce. Employees were very friendly. A tad pricey for a lunch size dish at $12.00. Will try other places before giving this one another go. read more

Great place to enjoy authentic Thai food! Would highly recommend ordering the Pad Thai

Food is always delicious. Ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and was very happy with it. Service was quick and spot on as far as timing( I ordered take out). The dining area is nice but small. Seemed like there was more clutter than the last time I visited. read more

Well, my review has changed. The previous owners sold the business, and the new cook is unfortunately not on par with T. Hopefully they'll grow into those shoes, but today is not the day that they fill them. I couldn't in good conscience let my previous review stand. read more

I worked in the restaurant business for 10 years. This place is so amazing. Get the pad Thai soooooooo goooooood! 6/5 stars, ask for extra lime tho they sometimes forget it hahaha. read more

We decided to try Royal Thai because of the high rating on yelp. We ordered the Yaki Soba noodles with chicken. The dish was so salty it was inedible. The wait staff was very kind and offered to make another dish that is less salty. She stated they used a chicken powder to flavor the noodles. So we agreed to allowing another one to be made for us. We heard a microwave being used and some stir frying. The next batch of noodles were bland but the chicken itself was extremely salty. I asked if the chicken was premade and was told that nothing is premade and that the chicken was steamed. I assume the chicken had been boiled in a chicken bouillon and stored in the freezer and then heated by microwaved for each dish. I cannot say for certain this is what is happening but it definitely seems like it. Otherwise we ordered a chicken egg roll and crab Rangoon and both were very good. I will not be going back here. We ended up not having to pay for one noodle dish. read more

This Thai restaurant served a very flavorful Pineapple Rice with pork and cashews. The dish was very moist and tasty. My husband enjoyed a basil crispy duck which was just right with the requested spice level. The service was excellent and the meals were very affordable read more

This is the worst restaurant ever, the server did not show any respect, they only have one chef, we have 9 people go to the restaurant and wait for 2hours did not get any food! The people who came later already finished their food. And the server was so rude to us! She even told us we have to follow her step. What the hall is that? Just do not go to restaurant, you will have the worst experience ever! Do not torture yourself! read more

Loved the atmosphere, service, and food. The crab rangoon was the best I have ever had. The Thai salad was very light with good textures. The spicy lemon grass soup with shrimp was incredible. My only regret is I was just staying overnight in the area. read more

Delicious ,fresh, quality Thai dishes, and very friendly staff! I love the fried rice varieties.

I was so excited to try this place after reading all the positive reviews. I don't know what happened... If I went on an off day or something, but my experience was awful. I ordered the crab Rangoon and chicken pad Thai. The crab Rangoon had a curry twist, which though unexpected was not bad! Not my favorite, but I'd probably give them another try. It was the Pad Thai that made my stomach turn; I don't think I've ever tasted anything so unpleasant such as this. I don't know what happened... But the dish came out dry and crusty, lacking of all flavor with the exception of cayenne pepper, which was way overwhelming. I took two bites and had to throw it away. I never waste food! But it was not edible. I'd like to think they were having an off day, so I'd probably try this place again, but maybe this time order in and not do takeout. I really wanted to like this place! read more
