Editorial Review for Royal Thai – by Eyal Goldshmid
The Scene
A complete contrast to the grimy 436-Old Cheney intersection outside. The walls hold deep lush tones, with a dining room filled with light and authentic Thai decorations.
The Food
Complex and flavorful. Start with a bowl of tom yum goong--luscious lemony broth filled with crunchy vegetables, plump shrimp and drops of chili oil. The crisp spring rolls, delicately fried wonton skins stuffed with shredded cabbage and carrots, come served alongside a spicy-sweet dipping sauce. For the entree, try the red curry--large chunks of vegetables and meat served in a rich, spicy coconut milk gravy--or one of the many noodles dishes, like the pad-see-ew, thick noodles smothered with vegetables, meat and a creamy brown sauce. If you're seeking a culinary kick, the chili jam--meats and veggies fried in a thick chili paste--should properly sear your tastebuds. Service is down to earth, quick and polite.

When to GoLunchtime deals average around $6 per person and include an enormous plateful of food and a side salad.

I've been to this place a total of about five times over the past few years--mainly only because it's one of the few Thai places that is open on a Sunday. And everytime my boyfriend and I go we ask ourselves why we went back and swear to never go again. Seriously, the food is bad. I mean, it's bland and the ingredients are not of the best quality. The tom kha gai is watered down which makes me think CHEAP. I'd rather pay a little bit more for better quality food. The combination fried rice, which is one of my favorite dishes at all Thai places, is just bland. This time I got the pad thai and was sour and a sticky lump. And let me just say one last thing...we eat a lot of Thai food...so I feel like we know the difference between good and bad thai food by now.
Pros: ambiance, price
Cons: food tastes like garbage

I understand that this is Orlando, where pallets might be lacking flavor and Wing House is a 5 star place but anyone who has ever enjoyed real "American" style Thai food would never reccommend Royal Thai. Both the Pad Thai noodles and Pad See Wee noodles are packaged and not homemade, and their abundance of frozen vegatables and meats make this place compeletely unappetizing. Pad Thai Noodles are thin and small, not long like spaghetti, where as the flat Pad See Wee noodles are flat and square, not flat and long. DISGUSTING ATMOSOPHERE, FROZEN FOOD, BAD SERVICE If you are white trash you will love this place, but if you like to dine on quality food you will need to look else where.
Pros: None
Cons: Food
