Wonderful service and my Tom Kha was amazing.

Diner Review №18

Tasty food, great people and great service!

Diner Review №19

My mother and I save this place for when we want to celebrate or have had a hard week. The atmosphere is peaceful and lovely. The food is the best Thai food we've had, and we've tried many places in Washington and Oregon and found no equal. Everything is fresh and authentic. We order the Pud Kee Mao noodles and the black rice pudding often, although everything is amazing. The wait staff are kind and thorough with great service!!

Diner Review №21

Best Thai food around! Their Pad Thai, Orange Sauce Chicken and Coconut Chicken are a must!!!

Diner Review №22

The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food came quickly and was delicious. Would definitely visit again.

Diner Review №23

Last time I came here was in 2018, I’m glad to see after not coming here for 7 years the food is still amazing, the portions are great and the service is 10/10, very friendly and welcoming. If you want good Thai food, a nice atmosphere and amazing service Royal Thai Bistro is the place to go.

Diner Review №24

I've never been here before but it's SO BEAUTIFUL. This restaurant is gorgeous inside, perfect for sit down eating! Food is delicious and plated very lovely as well. Every dish we had was fantastic and hit the spot!!! the honey walnut prawns r the best I've had and that one of my favorite dishes! will be coming back, service is lovely and super attentive and kind! thank you for the great food, ambiance and experience!! in my new top thai resturaunts in Tacoma. VERY FAIRLY PRICED.

Diner Review №25

They were so welcoming and so kind. Me and my group felt so well taken care of. This is my new go-to Thai food stop since I go to school right across the street; really delicious food and flavorful.

Diner Review №26

Delish! Amazing service. Angel eggplant and spring rolls were especially good.

Diner Review №27

The lunch special was overpriced. I ordered the Panang Curry. It was sorta gritty and lacked flavor. The Pad Thai was pretty much light red noodles with no flavor.

Diner Review №28

Royal Thai used to be one of the best in town. We Decided to switch it up and go to RT since I haven’t been in some time. I will never go again it was just that awful.
I was craving chicken pad Thai. Took the kids there and we ordered pad Thai, sweet and sour chicken and the sample appetizer.
Appetizer came out and it was Luke warm. Seemed like it was sitting out for a while. The Satay chicken was tasteless, spring rolls were soggy and warm not hot all around was not very good.
Main dishes were all very tasteless and seemed so bland and heavy. We barely ate any of the food. Didn’t even box to take with us. Shame that it wasn’t like it used to be. I will stick with Chili Thai up the way. Always have great fresh food. The kids and I all agreed never again.

Diner Review №29

Some of the best Thai food I have had in Tacoma by far! This place is a small gem and definitely worth a visit and try! Food is a bit pricey but was well worth it after the first few bites. A definitely stop!

Loved our experience at Royal Thai Bistro. The staff were all so kind. The food was delicious and the service was great. We found a new regular spot!

Diner Review №38

Been a long time since I've been here. Still a good place for some Pad Thai when in the neighborhood.

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Wonderful host and server. Great food at a responsible price. I’ve been going here for years and I think it’s never tasted better!

Diner Review №41

This is one of our favorite local Thai spots. The food is consistently delicious and the service team is always so kind and friendly. Whether it's a quick carry out or dine in, you can't go wrong at Royal Thai.

Diner Review №42

Great time and cozy atmosphere, food was perfect!

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

I ordered mango sticky rice and was given not only previously frozen mangoes but some were extremely hard and dry . The rice was also not the traditional soft sticky sweet rice and took arm effort to scoop up . The only good part was the sauce . Definitely disappointed as this is my favorite dish . Lastly , the over price this dish and I Would not recommend

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Our regular place was closed so I quickly searched for places with good reviews and Rad Na on the menu. That’s Royal Thai. The rad na was delicious. It could’ve used a bit more sauce but the flavor was just right. The noodles separated when stirred which I like versus a big clump that I have to cut up. My daughter ordered yellow curry and she inhaled it. Level 3 spice was perfect. Although the prices are a bit higher than some other Thai places I found, I’m happy to pay for great food.

Diner Review №47

Love this place and the mango chicken with sesame wraps, OMG. Definitely order when you're there ❤️

Diner Review №48

Every time I order, there is no utensils. You literally have to beg whenever you order pickup. Just now, I ordered UberEats delivery and they didn't give me utensils. I should eat using my fingers? Also there are NO SEALS on the packaging. If you have been watching social media, delivery drivers will mess with your food for whatever reasons.

Diner Review №49

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I got panang curry and it was spot on. Asking for 5 star spice was appropriately hot but not deadly (there's chili oil on the table too). I will be returning.

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Delicious yellow curry, pork fried rice and chicken satay

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

The Tom Ka soup is extremely good, one of the best I’ve had. The Pad Thai isn’t as great, it’s a bit dry, but it's still good, just not the best. The Pad Thai portions were huge, we got one beef and one tofu. There was a lot of tofu, but not much beef. They use a great tofu as well, it has a silky/firm texture as opposed to that spongey kind most restaurants use.
We always order to-go so I can't speak to the dining experience, but the brief customer service we do experience is always excellent.

Diner Review №55

Best food, large portions, always fresh, exemplary service! Drinks are the best; nothing watered down and great mixologist! Highly recommend, best restaurant in Tacoma, we are very greatful!!

Diner Review №56

Go eat here, great service, great food!

Diner Review №57

Great food! I was there with family recently. I would have rated this 5 stars however we felt "kind of" ignored by the staff. We had to actually get their attention to order, pay, get refills and it was not a busy day there (?) - That being said, the food is the real star here. I LOVED my meal and my family all loved theirs. The interior is nice too. Parking is a challenge. I do recommend the place though for sure!

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Update: So much better! Thanks!
We wanted to give this another go, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was very good. Thanks for listening and adjusting the spicing.
-----------

Way too hot, way too sweet. New owners. I ordered the same items I've been getting for 15+ years, but I couldn't eat them, the food was much hotter than 3 stars, and the meats were unpleasantly (disgustingly, to me) sweet. After the waitress brought the food she didn't return to our table at all until she brought the check. When I told her the problem she just acted like she hadn't heard me. Didn't offer to replace them, didn't express concern, didn't seem to care at all. I asked if the meat can be made less sweet in the future, but she said it's marinated ahead of time.
Sadly, after so many years of this being in my top 3 restaurants in the area, I won't be back.

I had the Thai fried rice with pork, and the Thai beef noodle soup, both 3 stars. My companion had the green curry pork, 5 stars. All were much hotter and much sweeter than usual. He finished the curry, I couldn't eat my dishes. He got my rice to go, but left my soup. Our server was very nice, but didn't seem equipped to handle a complaint.

Diner Review №60

Perfect taste and served fast but cords and boxes in places that could be moved or hidden.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

We came here for a family dinner. The seafood panang was the bomb. We also ordered Tom Yum, beef fried rice, and Mongolian beef. Everything was big portion, which was perfect because we just came back from hiking. The flavor just hits all the right spots. We were so full and satisfied at the end of the night. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Staff was friendly and really responsive. They had a great selection of Thai food and a few non Thai items and it was all so delicious. Big family meal and it was so tough to pick what we liked most.

Diner Review №65

Just had an amazing meal at Royal Thai Bistro! If you're into authentic flavors and big portions, you have to try this place.

The Mongolian beef was so tender and delicious. Highly recommend. The Angel Salad was super fresh and the dressing was just right. And the Thai Catfish? Crispy perfection with just the right amount of spice.

Definitely recommend checking out Royal Thai Bistro if you want great food and generous portions!

Diner Review №66

Love the Pad Thai and crispy garlic chicken here!

Diner Review №67

We decided to head here before heading to point defiance and good lord this place is incredible. We had Singapore noodles, Siamese noodles, Tom Yum, and Pug-pong Karee. Every dish was so scrumptious. But I wound have to say the Pud(#45) was by far my favorite of the bunch. So delicious, so flavorful, and the perfect portion.

PLEASE EAT HERE AND SUPPORT THEM! Absolutely ridiculously delicious.

Diner Review №68

Solid tasty Thai food. Quick service.

Diner Review №69

Been coming here for several years now. Is like to say it's all great. However, I think it has gone downhill since COVID.
Our server, this visit, was so nice! Super friendly, told us about the area, in Thailand, that she was from.
The food preparation seemed to be lacking. Hard to put into words. Just seems they try to rush and have lost some of the quality. Noodles were overcooked and caused the dish to be a bowl of mush! Used to be so good.

Diner Review №70

The large windows have soft curtains and the atmosphere is cozy. Lots of four-person tables. The waiter was swift and kind. Ordered Singapore noodles level 3 and husband ordered Phad Thai level 3. His were spicier. I added chilis. I would definitely go again.

Diner Review №71

My first impression is that the restaurant is very clean, lovely, warm and friendly. Excellent food and service.
Our food was well prepared, came out quickly and had a lot of flavor. A special treat is their Sweet Sticky rice with Mango for dessert, Yum! The Tom yum really stood out.

Diner Review №72

The food's pretty good. Not great. Not terrible. The service was really good when we were dining in but I felt like ordering was a challenge to some degree with the language barrier that's on me though.

Diner Review №73

Highly recommend. This is a great place for Thai food. We brought my mom here and she was so happy with the food. We tried Tom Yum, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Wonton Soup and they were all delicious. We also tried the Mango Sticky Rice as a dessert and it was impressive. The restaurant is beautiful with warm atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back to try more food here.

Diner Review №74

Great service, love the food, and the place looks wonderful. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! The crab ragoons were perfectly fried, delicious and creamy, the shirm crurry and rice was nicely seasoned. I cant wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu.

Diner Review №75

Exceptional Thai cuisine in an upscale atmosphere, offering a fine dining experience at reasonable prices. The fried catfish with chili sauce was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced by the spicy-sweet sauce. Lemongrass chicken showcased tender meat infused with aromatic herbs. Pad see eel with beef is also great. Highly recommend for those seeking a refined Thai culinary journey without breaking the bank.

Diner Review №76

This was my first time eating here and I enjoyed it thoughly. The service was great! We came as a group of 4 families. Our servers were exceptionally kind and considerate. Food was delicious with a large portion. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing.

Diner Review №77

I love Thai food but it's really difficult to find a good restaurant in town for my picky kids. The food very tasty and fresh. My kids love their lemongrass chicken, crab rangoon and their Thai tea is a must try everytime we visit. Highly recommended for everyone and their families.

Diner Review №78

Can't say anything about service or atmosphere but tried take out from this place and was the worst pad see ew I've ever had. No flavor and noodles were like rubber. Normally my favorite food and loved from any restaurant but I couldn't even finish half of it. It was also extremely expensive at around 50$ for one dish and drink. This was over two months ago but saw this place come up again and it was so expensive I wanted to warn people.

Diner Review №79

The recipe for their Hawaiian curry fried rice has change. It is not very good, plus it was cold.. should have sent it back to the kitchen. My never return .

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

I saw another post from 4mths ago that I wish I read before getting food! The people were extra nice! Atmosphere was nice! But I got Pad See Ew and it was bland and in some parts dry as if all of the noodles didn’t get sauce!

Diner Review №82

I ordered the yakisoba with chicken and yakisoba with tofu. I Specified level of spice. Neither had any spice whatsoever,
The chicken yakisoba noodles were way overcooked and the dish was very salty. Not good. Very disappointing considering and over priced. I Will not order from here again.

Very nice atmosphere, nice people, we ordered Curry fried rice, coconut prawns and Tom Ka soup, all delicious and the mango smoothie was excellent you can taste is all natural, definitely we will be back soon. No food pictures because we usually don’t do this often, sorry!
Thank you!

Diner Review №87

We had a great meal. Food was very good. Service was prompt and friendly. I used a coupon and also had s coupon that was expiring. The server said he would be happy to honor expired coupon at a later time which I appreciated.

Diner Review №88

Omg the pad Thai and pot stickers are fantastic!!!

Diner Review №89

The food was excellent and the service quick. I'll be back!

Diner Review №90

Tried it a few times now, pad thai is always bland.

Diner Review №91

Service was great but this thai food just isn't good. Not sure what's going on but the curry was bad

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

Great Thai food restaurant! We had the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Both were delicious. The service and atmosphere was great as well. Would definitely recommend!

Diner Review №94

この胡桃とチキンの料理は、想像よりもはるかにとても美味しくてびっくりしました。タイ料理は辛いものがたくさんあるイメージでしたが、これは甘くて食べやすかったです。

友人がパッタイを頼みそれを少しもらいましたが、パッタイは味気なく具材もあまり入っておらず正直微妙でした。

Diner Review №95

It's a yes for me. I really enjoyed the food, very tasty and enough for me to take some home. No complaints about the service. Atmosphere is not what I came here for. I'll certainly return anytime I'm in the area.

Diner Review №96

This place has significantly gone downhill. Their Burmese noodles used to be there best dish, nows it's just sad, no flavor in the chicken, can barley taste the peanut sauce.

Way too expensive for be less than impressed

Diner Review №97

Every time we come here it’s delicious. The staff are so nice, the food so good. Generous portions with nice fresh vegetables. Pineapple curry is crazy good and Pud Kae Mow.. OMG. And guess what.. The tables aren’t sticky and gross like so many places. Come!

Diner Review №98

Turned around after seeing how expensive the place was... very high priced for a thai food option in this area. $20+ for entrees.

Diner Review №99

Hard for me to leave this because the owners were so nice but this was by far the most expensive and bland Thai food I’ve had in Tacoma. The chicken in the pad Thai was overcooked and rubbery, too. It was more or less a giant clump of stuck together noodles. Thai food usually has a lot of flavor but this didn’t. There also could have been more vegetables in my other dish. I understand the prices have come up in most places but this seems a bit outrageous and for that price I’d expect a comparable product. There are much tastier options in Tacoma for less.

Edit: I appreciate the owners acknowledgement which is a good indicator that this could have been an off night. Wanted to also add that the place was very clean and again, the staff was very welcoming and attentive.

Diner Review №100

Worst Thai food I’ve had! I ordered Pad Thai and calamari. The Pad Thai was bland, and the noodles weren’t cooked all the way. The calamari was somehow soggy and tasteless. The calamari was so soggy that the batter wasn’t sticking, and it peeled off.

Diner Review №101

Excellent larb gai salad

Diner Review №102

The food is great however my yellow curry jumped from $13.95 tip included to $21.95 plus tip!! We were shocked, the food isn’t That great plus It was “to go”! Looking for a new Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №103

Quaint local restaurant. I'm so glad we tried it. Portions are huge, definitely shareable, or you'll have take-home for tomorrow. I ordered the Angel Salad (I think that was the name of it), with chicken, DELICIOUS!!!! Definitely be back, thanks.

Diner Review №104

Great food, a little spendy

Diner Review №105

I love Royal Thai Bistro , and I've been going there for years. Great food, and it's only five minutes from my office. I go there for lunch all the time. And for dinner on the weekends.

Diner Review №106

Defiantly will come again

Diner Review №107

The best food i ever ate in my entire life, the food and the prices are match (sometimes I can’t finish my food cause there are alot). Specifically good in Papaya Salad. They have good communicate with costumers. Thank you for the delicious food❤️

Diner Review №108

Went for my Birthday!
Best choice ever!
Small, quaint and the food was superb as always!
If you have not tried them, you need to! Everything is good💯

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

First time trying this place and was not disappointed at all. Did the special asparagus chicken in peanut sauce. Tender chicken, full stalks, and a generous amount of peanut sauce. Sauce was rich...so much it was like liquid peanut butter. Mixed with the rice, so delicious. Paired with an iced Thai tea. Perfection.

Diner Review №111

I give them chance two times for a pineapple fried rice but it’s always bad.
I’m not gonna recommend anyone this place.

Diner Review №112

Great food!

Diner Review №113

I had ordered so much food from here on my date night with my wife. Staff were very friendly, bathrooms were immaculate, food was so delicious. I spend about $80 on the food and every bit was worth it. I got the spring rolls, chicken curry dish, rice, pineapple chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and a mango smoothie. I would go there again. This is a place I would recommend for anyone going am a date or just looking for great thai food.

Diner Review №114

Best Thai food ever!... The end

Diner Review №115

This place is AWESOME, first time on a date night with my wife. Staff are great. We had ordered our food and with 10 minutes we had our order. Food is fresh and lots of flavor. I will definitely be coming here again in the future. Order the fried rice with pineapple, the chicken with pineapple. My wife order the curry and also the spring rolls. Food AMAZING!!!!!

Diner Review №116

Delicious food, was a little on the pricey side for lunch, but worth it

Diner Review №117

I was looking for a good place to get good Phad thai...
Phad thai was a little dry, not served with lime or any veg, not enough peanuts for the amount of noodles. Also most expensive I've had :(.............I will try there one more time for a chance to update....stay tuned.

Diner Review №118

This place has gone downhill and it is not worth it here anymore. I understand things are going up and getting even more pricey nowadays, but the inflation and being a "small business" card doesn't accommodate all places... might as well shut down then. The plates are not great in proportion compared to before and are not worth the $20+... not to mention the overpriced, mediocre appetizers. Parking is terrible as well but can't blame them. Might as well drive the half a mile down Mildred to Golden Teak, which is a Thai restaurant that has actually maintained their quality and service and they have reasonable prices!!!!!

Diner Review №119

$21 for ONE entree and that price did not include a tip. I ordered a noodle dish with tofu. That is an outrageous price. You need to list your prices on your menu so ppl can knowingly make the decision to pay that.

Diner Review №120

Great food here

Diner Review №121

Mixed feelings, food is really delicious but they have raised their prices. Restaurant is clean and attentive service.

Diner Review №122

Delicious Thai food. It is a bit more on the expensive side but the food is really good. Just keep in mind you will probably be spending $60+ for 2 people.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

Great food and service.

Diner Review №125

Beware of overpriced mediocre takeout. My wife ordered takeout from the online menu, which provided no prices, for me to pick up on my way home from work. I was shocked when I had to fork out $81 for two orders of curry, one chicken fried rice and a wonton appetizer! The Curry was bland with absolutely no spice (ordered spice level 4) and the rest of the food was meh. No where near worth what we paid. Not again.

Diner Review №126

The food was wonderful and delicious. We will be returning. The staff were very nice.

Diner Review №127

No prices on the menu on their website, so wound up unpleasantly surprised upon pickup that a lunch combo was $20. The sauce for the orange chicken was overly sweet, and the side of pad thai(?) was incredibly mushy. I feel like I ate cheap Chinese takeout but paid twice as much for it. Won't be back.

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

The food portion was very big but unfortunately also very disappointing. Everything was very bland. Absolutely no flavor! Also asked for spicy food and it was not one tad bit spicy. Major turn-off for someone who enjoys eating spicy food.

Diner Review №131

Slow service but good fresh food

Diner Review №132

Great location for Thai food! I would recommend either number 43 or 45 on the menu. Very impressed with the quality and the service provided.

Please let the server know if you have any food allergies or dietary concerns.

Diner Review №133

The specials are great. A calm, cool place for a nice meal on a hot day.

Diner Review №134

I can't count the number of lunches I've had with clients and colleagues at Royal Thai! This is one of my favorite places in Fircrest (and really all of Tacoma) for a working lunch date. They're so quick and friendly- but the food is CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT. They have a fantastic lunch special where you can get curry AND pad thai which is awesome because who wants to choose? Love Royal Thai.

Diner Review №135

Great people, great food!

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

It was our first time there. Food was good. Everyone in our party was satisfied with their meal.

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

Nice and promptly service. Very pleasant staff and great food. I’ll be coming back to this place.

Diner Review №140

Definitely one of my favorite places in the area. The food came out WAY fast.

Diner Review №141

This place has delicious food at reasonable rates. The staff is very attentive and the atmosphere fits the cuisine well.

Diner Review №142

I will never order again! 37 dollars for rice & peanut sauce? No tofu or chicken as ordered?

Diner Review №143

Today was my first time eating here, but definitely won't be the last. When I first got there the menue seemed a little pricey, but I can assure you it's worth it. My food was fairly quick and perfectly cooked. We ordered Mongolian beef, chicken Pad Thai and spicy garlic fried chicken. I tried every dish and each one as good as the next. Flavor and spice levels both on point. I did have to send a couple of dirty plates back but they quickly brought clean plates over. Staff were friendly and pretty attentive. Overall good experience and looking forward to visiting again.

Diner Review №144

We have been eating there for 2 years and the food is good but really not any better than the other couple of thai restaurants in university place. Then 6 months ago or so they raised there prices 15% but on the menu they wrote that they raised the prices to cover the tip so no tip was required. They had it posted on the top of each page of the menu saying "prices raised to cover tip and no tip required ". I was more than okay with that because I believe you should tip atleast 15% of the bill. So we continued eating there. Then they took that off the menu saying no tip required and when I give them my debit card to cash out when they brought me my bill for 2 people for lunch was 43$ and on the receipt there was a place for you to put a tip like it was before they raised the prices. So now they expect you to tip and I didn't want to but my wife said too. So 51$ for 2 people's lunch. I will return one more time by myself without my wife to write this on my receipt and not leave a tip. After that visit I will not return until I see a post saying they dropped their prices or that they went back to no tip required. There are a few different thai restaurants close and I recommend you goggle them unless you feel like paying for a 4 star restaurant that is basically a step above fast food.

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

This was our first visit to Royal Thai Bistro, but definitely won't be our last. We ordered Panang curry with chicken, honey chicken with walnuts, and fresh rolls. All of it was delicious with enough leftovers for dinner tomorrow.

Diner Review №147

The stars are very inconsistent.

Diner Review №148

Angel chicken salad is a must. Fast service and friendly staff

Diner Review №149

Excellent Thai food in a nice atmosphere. We stop in whenever in the area.

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Great food, usually good portion sizes

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Best Thai in the south sound. Don't go anywhere else.

Diner Review №154

Very nice, service was Great, food was excellent

Diner Review №155

Ordered a spicy pad Thai, not very spicy and has minimal flavor. Not horrible but don’t recommend. Broccoli beef was okay.

Diner Review №156

$26 for pad see ew which wasn't well stirred and didn't come with a fork. It was all sauce less noodles

Diner Review №157

Very good! Nothing extraordinary but solid. Would definitely come back. Great service!

Diner Review №158

I have been to many different Thai restaurants. I tried this place today , the food suits me . like so much . I will come back to enjoy more

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

Wanted to like this place, first time ordering takeout tonight, but sadly we were very disappointed. The pad see ew was very bland and extremely oily. The pad Thai was very sour and smelled bad. It didn’t taste anything like an authentic pad Thai at all, very strange version of it. My husbands pad kee mao was bland and had no sauce, that’s how he described it. We eat Thai weekly from different places and have been for the past 10 years so we’re very familiar with Thai food and the different variations from different restaurants. This was definitely some of the worst we have had. I gave an extra star for the man on the phone who took my order because he was polite and professional and thorough.

Diner Review №161

Diner Review №162

Ordered green curry to go. Had a strange foul smell-like something rancid. We threw our food away, sadly. Really love Thai cuisine and green curry so we were disappointed to not enjoy this meal at all. Perhaps dine-in is better??

Diner Review №163

Good appetizers and pad Thai. Not as flavorful curry.

Diner Review №164

I used to like this place pre covid. Now, prices seem to have doubled.

Diner Review №165

Oh my. My husband and I have always loved the food at Royal Thai. We ordered to go tonight and the food was NOT good. It had a funny taste both dishes. It tasted like it had been sitting around overnight in plastic. I had chicken yakisoba the noodles were so over cooked they were a sticky ball. My husband had the masseman chicken he said the chicken was rubbery and tasteless. We both threw our dinners in the garbage. Not sure what is happening but it’s not good. We won’t be back 😞

Diner Review №166

Diner Review №167

Always delicious, flavorful, fresh and welcoming service.
One of my favs in the Pierce County area.

Diner Review №168

I give one star because I was served day-old rice. I ordered the lunch combo chicken rama. I could tell that the rice looked old, like it was discolored, not white and shiny like it should be. When I took a bite of the rice I had hard pieces that had dried up. The rice was not fresh. This does not happen to freshly cooked rice. If they are going to skimp on something like rice, who knows what else they are skimping on. Not going back.

Diner Review №169

It was good but just that.

Diner Review №170

Good food nice atmosphere

UPDATE: I’m really sad to take away 2 stars. The service on 10/10/21 was just no up to the standard that it always was. No one refilled our water even once. The employees were at the counter the whole time on their phones and chatting. Years and years of good service and it’s sad that they now have inattentive employees. Really sets the tone. Will probably be looking for a new place.

I’ve been to this place back in 2014 & now. Food is still made with quality! Their pad Thai is really good and the spice levels are true to the number you choose! Staff is friendly, place is clean! Definitely give it a try! However, bring a jacket, they love to have AC on full blast and I always get super cold inside.

This is our go-to takeout place for Thai. Food is always fresh and flavorful. Staff are very friendly. Quick with orders.

This is the best Thai food in town!!!!!

Diner Review №177

Went for lunch to dine in and was surprised at how great the food was. I tried a few different dishes and all were great. I’ve been to several Thai restaurants in the area and this one is the best so far for drunken noodles, green curry, and pad Thai noodles. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the spices that went into the food. Thanks!

I'm sad to say this is the most overpriced, unauthentic Thai food I've ever had the displeasure of attempting to eat.
We ordered all of our dishes at a 4 spice level. They all tasted like 0 spice level. We asked for thai chilis on the side, and they gave us dried red pepper flakes. Not thai chilis. Our order consisted of Tom Ka, Green Curry, Fresh Spring Rolls, and a beef salad.
The Tom Ka soup with prawns had about 6 mini shrimp-not prawns-and onions, nothing else. The salad dressing was terrible and the beef was bland and dry. The sauce that came with the spring rolls was horrible as well. The only part of our order that was decent was the green curry, ignoring the lack of spice.
Our food order was essentially unedible and we ended up throwing over half of it in the trash. $74 dollars later, after tip for our take out, and we could stomach 1 entree and the appetizer sans the sauce out of the whole order. Avoid.

Wow. I had the Rad Na and it was Rad Yes. Greatest gravy oooh baby, I made my girlfriend promise I won't eat the leftovers at two am because I want to re-experience the deliciousness for lunch tomorrow.

The food here is normally pretty good. Tonight though the Pad Thai was greasy and bland. Time to find a new favorite.

Always amazing food and service!!

Diner Review №182

This place wasn't the worst place I've have before, but it wasn't the best either. I really disliked what I got but I'm giving it 3 stars because I tried my friends food and it was really good. If we go back I will definitely get that.

Tried this place for the first time tonight, ordered the curry fried rice, paid extra 6 bucks for scallops and prawns, I don't usually mind paying for the stuff I like. However, the rice was SUPER underwhelming. It was not made with jasmine rice, instead it was long grain white rice, which was incredibly off-putting and disappointing as it was chewy and bland. I ate a small portion and threw it away...and I LOVE fried rice, I've never thrown a whole plate of fried rice out, but the white rice?? Deal breaker...

My partner and I have become regulars here in a few short weeks. The service is amazing, and the food is even better. We highly recommend the sesame tofu wraps and mango sticky rice.

Amazing customer service! Great food

Diner Review №194

Pad thai was dry and green onions were the size of my thumb, they were huge! Not even exaggerating. Have never seen green onions like that on any dish.

I was shocked when I saw it. I even asked for extra upon ordering. Haha.

I’m really not sure what happened. I went there for the first time in two years. Far and away different. Used to be my favorite Thai spot. It’s expensive but the flavors were ALWAYS there.

For starters I asked for 5 star spicy, and 3 star spicy. Both things were not spicy at all. Maybe no peppers were used. When I asked for the spice tray the guy acted like he never heard of it and asked if I meant soy sauce. No. Then he asked if I mean salt and pepper. No. Maybe it’s not a thing anymore since covid, and that the spice tray I can over look.

Today What I always order wasn’t even one star.

I get it, since the pandemic things have drastically changed for the worse for so many. Sad to see this place is a place I’d no longer ever visit again.

I’ve been known to go here twice in the same day before, now I wouldn’t even feed it to my dog. It’s a sad shame because this place used to be out of this world!

Very americanized thai. Lots of sugar in the sauces they cook stuff in. Sad that they didn't stay closer to the roots of a more authentic thai

Diner Review №199

Great food, large portions. Fresh spring rolls were definitely different but freaking delicious.
