Royal Thai Restaurant has been a family favorite for years, and it never disappoints. Whether we're dining in or ordering takeout, the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic Thai flavors. In fact, we usually end up devouring everything before anyone even thinks to take a picture! If you're new to Thai food or looking for recommendations, you really can't go wrong with the Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, crispy prawns, or the Dragon Noodles. Their curries are equally impressive. The red and green curries are rich, aromatic, and full of flavor, while the traditional yellow curry is the definition of comfort food. Made with tender potatoes and onions in a creamy, mildly spiced curry sauce, it's one of those dishes that's comforting with every bite. Another must-order is the peanut-style salad. It's just as delicious whether you dine in or take it to go, making it the perfect starter or side. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal with family and friends, and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming during our visits. After years of coming here, Royal Thai Restaurant has earned our loyalty. The consistency, quality, and variety of the menu keep us coming back, and we've yet to have a disappointing meal. If you're craving authentic Thai food, this is one of the best spots around and an easy five-star recommendation read more

I got tom yum seafood soup and omg it was sooo good. I am a sucker for tom yum. The service here is always great. The staff are super friendly and kind. They are also very helpful. The food is always delicious and the prices are good for the portion. The inside of the restaurant is nice and looks clean. We got wings also that were so good and the wings were big too. I was full, my bill wasn't hefty and the food was amazing! read more

I was heading to visit my parents and craving Thai food so I made a quick stop for three to go items I tend to love and can share. Larb gai ($12) had the minced chicken mixed with onion, chili, cilantro and a good kick of flavor. I mixed it with some of the rice which came with the shrimp panang curry ($18) which was delicious and had lots of sauce. It was a bit watery compared to others I've had but the flavors were all there. The third dish was the shrimp pad thai ($17) which was a power house of rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts and that sauce that makes pad thai such a savory delight. They don't offer those small shrimp either, these were the good medium sized ones and they gave a good amount in each meal. I wound up with some to take home and it was my dinner. The service was friendly and the wait time was super quick. I will be stopping by for different dish tasting in the future. read more

I discovered Royal Thai last year and wish I found it sooner. First of all they have a very large gluten free menu that is all very delicious, second their prices are very reasonable. We always order at least 3 dishes to split. Today I got my order to go and everything was delicious. Both servers and the people who take the orders over the phone are very knowledgeable about celiac's and gluten free options. I honestly ordered Togo from Royal Thai more often than I didn't in but the restaurant is always clean and the food always comes out fast. Tonight we go Tofu Pad Thai, Red chicken curry, Chicken Satay's, and Vegetable Deluxe we got everything hot or Thai hot. read more

I was on my way to Avante Nursing Rehab center down the street and as the friend I was to visit is a Vegan, and the rehab center had little idea how to prepare Vegan food, I stopped in. A carrot and lettuce aren't enough nutrition and isn't a meal. I also bought two meals to go for us. The food was unbelievably good. The best I have had in years. Everything was flavorful and spiced just right. The prices are Very reasonable. Cannot say enough good about the food in this Thai restaurant. Our meals were not Vegan and were delicious. Staff were friendly, answered all my questions and were accommodating. read more

SUPPORT LOCAL RESTAURANTS: I wasn't going to post at first because I didn't get any pictures before eating any of the food but Royal Thai deserves more love for it's 2025 reviews. This is one of many Orlando restaurants that have been around for decades and it's over looked by so many (including myself). We ordered the springs rolls, chicken wings, and papaya salad for apps. Followed by Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Curry chicken, and Thai fried rice! I never leave room for dessert but if I had I wouldn't have been able to take a picture of it either before tearing it up. read more

This place is what you want in a local family Thai restaurant. You walk in and the decorations are quaint and welcoming. I have only ever had take out, and they pack it so it stays warm till it gets home I have had several dishes so far and have not been disappointed. Some were better than others but all were fresh and had flavor. I love that when you order online you can customize all ingredients, perfect for those picky eaters. Will be back for sure. read more

Can't believe this is our first time here. Passed by it so many times but never stopped by. So glad we did today! We loved everything. It was super cute inside, hostess and servers were super polite, food was DELICIOUS and came out so quickly. Our drinks were never left empty and we were checked up on a couple of times. We really enjoyed our dinner tonight! Only took pics of my own food bc the hubs starts eating immediately when he gets his food. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! read more

I remember going to Royal Thai as a teenager, and now, fast forward to my mid-40s, this place is still a hit! I can't recall exactly what I ordered back then, but I do remember the amazing variety of sauces they offered--and they still do! My wife and I shared crispy spring rolls ($4.95), Thai steak salad ($13.95), and Pad Gaprow ($13.95) with Jasmine rice, paired with refreshing Thai tea. Every dish was exceptional! I even requested the sauces for nostalgia, and they were happy to provide them for free. The service was pretty good. Royal Thai has been around since 1997, and now I know why. The food quality is unmatched, and the ambiance and décor perfectly complement the experience. This is, without a doubt, my favorite Thai spot. Highly recommend! read more

The pad Thai is the most flavorless thing I have ever eaten. No spice, no taste whatsoever. I would have given this place a 1 star but my boyfriend loved his Panang curry but he also had the opportunity to order his food with some heat. Really disappointed in the food. Order anything but a noodle dish read more

I've passed this establishment numerous times and never took the opportunity to stop and eat Was with a large group for our monthly dinners and this was the spot. It was the best time for us all about 18...great options and food was very hot when delivered. I will definitely recommend Royal Thai and will return on my own. Forgot to mention for the large group we had excellent service. read more

After a long day, I stumbled upon this Thai place that was close by. The service here was phenomenal. Our server had a great list of recommendations and was very accommodating. Any of the dishes on the menu can be altered to your preferred spice tolerance. I wasn't feeling bold that day, so I went for a medium. I ordered the Woosen noodles (which come with rice), and my friend ordered the Drunken Noodles. The server and host recommended it but I wanted to experiment. My dish was bland, and the rice did not pair well. My friend's dish though was great. The Drunken noodles were very flavorful. The salad paired well with it. Though my dish wasn't my favorite, I know that there are other dishes that are great. read more

This place is soooo good! I hate that it's soooo far! However, when I'm headed anywhere near there, I sometimes make an excuse to do a pit stop and get food! I have yet to order anything that wasn't good. Either dining in or taking out. Food is always good and service is always good. The ladies that are there are always so nice and customer service is good. read more

As in Orlando native, I'm embarrassed that I haven't been to this place before! I've driven by this place literally FOR YEARS and have seen the banner outside that says that Scot Joseph reviewed it and said it was "fit for a king." But this year I FINALLY got to go see it and experience it myself with some friends of mine! I ordered the glass noodles with chicken and my friends got pad Thai and other dishes. It was absolutely phenomenal. It's one of those meals that you want to last much longer. Orlando has some really good Thai restaurants already but I can't really think of a Thai restaurant that's better than this. It was straight up comfort food, very prompt and great service. If anything I would say that Orchid Thai and Thai place are very close, if not on par. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a phenomenal Thai restaurant in Orlando that's literally been around for decades. We are so lucky to have them in our backyard. Go check them out and support local. read more

Took my wife to this nice little Thai restaurant last week and we were surprised that not only was the food good but we also took advantage of the lunch special. What places do you go out on a weekend and you take advantage of having lunch special prices this place offers it Very good food. Hopefully, we'll go back real soon. Nok our server was very hospitable and friendly read more

This Thai is about as royal as Meghan Markel. It's not bad but it's definitely not the best Thai in Orlando. Ok is 3 stars, I just wasn't taken away to Thailand by any stretch of the imagination. Sadly, Pei Wei has better drunken noodles than this place. C'mon man, a counter service fast casual joint next to a Target serving better Drunken Noods! The protein portions are rather small in comparison too. The noodles were all stuck together and again, barely any flavor. The medium did have a nice spice though. The Pad Thai was good but we still like Siam Garden on 50 better. I'm sure it's a preference based on taste. It's like judging the best Lasagna. They're all so different. The Pad Gra Pow was decent too, but you have to dip into the spices to add extra flavor. The rice portion was good, but again, they're light on the meat. The staff is friendly but when you're in that tiny hallway (where we were seated both times), I think they forget about you. Water refills are a challenge. I gave it a chance... twice... and probably won't be back. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. We came in pretty late, although not the last ones in the door, and were greeted so warmly. Our server was excellent too and even greeted the table behind us (obviously frequent diners) by name. Our food was cooked well although my rice was a bit bland my friend's noodle dish burst with flavor. I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes. My reason for the 4/5, besides my rice, is based on the extremely intense odor in the front porch area that we were seated. It was so strong and chemically that it made me and my friend think about getting takeout instead. It was somewhere between rubbing alcohol, air fresher, and bleach. It didn't go away or lesson during our meal, but I'll be sure to update this review of it was a singular accuance and isn't there next time we visit. read more

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in the area! I have been coming here for almost 20 years and they have been consistently delicious each and every time! I'm a pad Thai enthusiast so I stick to that and it's so good! All of the proteins are good! The spring rolls were tasty and fresh!! The atmosphere is typical for a home in the wall Thai restaurant and is cozy and traditional. The service is consistently great, friendly and fast so perfect for a business or casual meal! Highly recommend! read more

This is my go to Thai spot in East Orlando. The food is delicious, and priced great for the portion size. The toong thong is a great appetizer to start with, it has great flavor and easily my favorite. For the main dishes, we ordered the panag curry w/ chicken and the red curry w/ chicken. Both are delicious and are what I often order when coming here. The service is always quick and the servers are friendly and attentive. The inside seating area isn't too big, but that's mostly because majority of people order take out. It's still a good spot to dine in. read more

I went in today for lunch and ordered the Panang Curry since it was a lunch item. When I got the bill, i was charged for the dinner version. The server said she thought I wanted the dinner version. I heard her ask others if they wanted the lunch or dinner size. I paid $6 for for my meal than I expected. The food was excellent and the server was good in every other way. I felt overcharged. read more

Royal Thai Restaurant - Duck - Thai Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Apparently, I've been under a rock. I had never tried this Orlando Staple. The place is big but unfortunately assuming. Inside and outside. Don't let the building determine you from going because WOW. I had the ginger duck and it was incredible. It came out in a plate sizzling and my mind was blown upon first bite. The waiter was super nice and even commented on our selections. There is decent parking space and the environment lends itself to conversation. I will absolutely be back for my Thai fix. read more

I used to go to this wonderful place when I was in Orlando often, but now since I'm not I try to pop in when I'm in town. It's a must stop. I went here recently with my partner for lunch and no matter how much time has passed the food is always so consistent, flavorful, fresh, fast and most importantly delicious. We are always greeted upon arrival by anyone standing at the front counter and immediately seated without a wait normally. This time around we were greeted and sat by Freddy who was very pleasant and helpful with my questions. The ambiance is always so relaxing and quiet. We sat by the window with the natural lighting and although there were patrons around no one felt crowded or over spoken in conversation. Everything was just right. The highlight I must mention about this visit was the sticky rice. I have seen videos where I want to try to rice so bad. I originally wanted the mango sticky rice but it was not in season. They have to wait until the mangoes are in season and available so I will be waiting to try again. In the meantime I opted for the black coconut sticky rice and they did not disappoint. It was warm, with the delicate sweetness of coconut from the coconut milk it was in as well as the coconut topping it had on top. This blew my mind and was like something I never had before and I can't wait to have it again. Thank you so much for always serving the best. read more

I've been hopping around from Thai place to Thai place in Orlando on the search for great red curry and Tom Kha Gai soup. I got a big takeout order (multiples of each below) from Royal Thai to last me the weekend dog-sitting nearby. Very glad I did it! The Goods! What I ordered: 1) Red Curry with Shrimp- This was very yummy. Very flavorful with generous-sized shrimp. The soothing taste of lemongrass was in each bite... so good. I'd definitely order this again. 2) Chicken Wings- THOSE CHICKEN WINGS, THO. Oye vey. I dream of these chicken wings at night. They were absolutely delicious. Loved them. Would order them again, and get TWO orders so I don't have to share! 3) Cucumber Salad- enjoyed this. More vinegary than most of the cucumber salads I've had... but I'm a vinegar fan. If you like your cucumber salad less vinegary and more sweet, this may not be for you. 4) Tom Kha Gai- I've been to a few places recently where the Tom Kia Gai tastes nearly identical to the red curry... that wasn't the case here. My mom was a fan of the soup... I thought it was a little too watery and not flavorful enough for me. I probably wouldn't order this here again, which is a shame because I loveee this soup usually. I'd like to give them brownie points for being generous with rice... Lately, I've had to order extra rice with every meal because places are being chintzy with the rice, even when I order a ton of entrees... Royal Thai gave me the perfect amount of rice, and I really appreciated it! I will definitely be back! read more

I came here years ago with friends and family and I have to say they are still one of the best authentic Thai places I've been to. The staff very friendly and the waitress very attentive. The place itself was looks very old in the outside and kind of cozy on the inside. Everyone that was there looked like they really enjoyed or enjoy the food they ordered. I mean it has been opened for many years so that has to tell you something. The food was amazing! Just like I remembered! And I can say that I definitely will be returning there hopefully soon. read more

The food was pretty good and the service was quick. We went tonight and it was pretty busy, so the server did not check on us often. The food was really good. I got green curry and my husband got the drunken noodles. My kids got pad Thai and didn't like it, so we had to send it back for yellow curry,which they loved. The only thing that took me by surprise was the added gratuity for a table of 4. No where does it say they will add gratuity of 18% automatically so just be prepared. I normally add 25% so they sold them self short by just adding it. read more

5 Stars for my favorite Thai restaurant in Orlando. In restaurant, delivery, take-out. It doesn't matter-- Royal Thai is AMAZING! This is something I've known for years so I can't believe I haven't left a review yet. I've flirted with a bunch of other Thai places, but RT has consistently been the highest quality and best flavors around. Their curries have a depth of flavor that gets me every time. They're tasty, but beyond that, the flavors keep coming as you take bite after bite. Though mild still has a bit of a kick, it's worth it. Besides their curries, I love their cashew nut dish- with full cashews and your choice of protein (I like it with chicken). Finally, because I'm not ashamed to be "that guy," the Pad Thai is insanely good. Some pad thais are overly sweet, but this one has the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and starchiness from the noodles. Besides the great dishes (that travel very well when ordering takeout or delivery), the interior is really beautiful. It has multiple sitting areas and my favorite is around the perimeter of the building (inside). Lastly, the service is always exceptional. Any question I've ever had has been answered with kindness. Everyone here really knows what they're doing. Love this spot and can't praise it enough! read more

I think the best part of my visit was the Thai iced tea. I haven't returned to this restaurant since the pandemic started and it just confirmed that this might be the last. Well the food I ordered was not as good as it was and my hubby liked the Thai Basil fried rice with shrimp. I was not impressed. It was a slow day and they were mostly busy with to go orders. The atmosphere has changed and the last image I posted definitely did not help. So it was a nice try for a quick bite and that's it. We had potak ( it was ok), golden squid ( it was good), drunken noodles with shrimp ( asked for it to be spicy and was let down), snd Thai basil shrimp fried rice ( not spicy at all, tasted like regular fried rice). read more

This review is based on a take out order. First off I have to give huge kudos to their packaging of a take out order. Everything was hot and packaged in a way if we had it fresh in the restaurant. Fried stuff was crispy, cold stuff was cold, and utensils and napkins were all included! Silly but a lot of places don't get this right. We ordered several dim sum style dishes. One of which stole the show. The little crunchy bags are filled with potatoes and spices. These little things earned this joint the three stars. If they focused only on this dish They would have had five stars! If you order anything from here this dish is a MUST. Why the knock on the stars? Everything else was just okay. It wasn't amazing and it was absolutely disgusting. It was edible. The real disappointment was the pad Thai. Come on as a Thai place in America there a few dishes that have to be out of the ball park and Americans love Pad Thai! Unfortunately it was bland and flavorless with dry chicken. Definitely check this joint out for the crunchy bags of goodness though! You will be missing out if you don't try those. read more
