"The pad Thai is fantastic, featuring a perfect blend of flavors and offering the largest portion for the price compared to any local Thai joint. The red curry with chicken strikes the ideal balance of mild spice and sweetness—my wife enjoyed it just as much as I did. The larb salad is pleasantly spicy with just the right kick of sourness, perfectly tailored for my palate.
We also tried the deep-fried fish, which was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, complemented by a delicious sweet and spicy sauce—everyone loved it! The Thai fried rice was perfectly cooked, neither soggy nor dry, and it was a hit with everyone. The egg rolls, while not my favorite, were not greasy at all (though my kids didn’t care for the crunchy exterior paired with veggie filling).
To those leaving negative reviews about paper plates and perceived staffing issues, I urge you to consider the context: we are still navigating a pandemic, and so is this restaurant. Using paper plates helps maintain cleanliness while allowing the remaining staff to focus on food prep instead of dishwashing. While some diners may have been frustrated by a single server on a busy weekend, it’s important to recognize the challenges faced by restaurants right now. Many have closed their doors or are only offering takeout.
Rather than criticizing, we should appreciate that this restaurant is doing its best to stay open and keep employees working, all while serving outstanding Thai food. The owners are making commendable efforts to maintain their business and provide great dining experiences. Royal Siam has definitely become a weekly destination for my family and me."
