Best Fried Rice and Impeccable Service!

by shaunkat at Citysearch

The food is exceptional with very complex flavors, extremely fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation. To top it off, the service is amazing, very prompt and super friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is lovely. The fried rice is amazing! You're missing out if you don't try this place!

Used to be a great restaurant

by kmsnyder at Citysearch

This restaurant used to be my favorite. I dont know if they got new owners or what but this restaurant has become terrible. The service was bad and the food had only a greasey taste to it. The restaurant itself is lovely, but there are much better Thai restaurants in Seattle to eat at.

• Cons: tasteless food

Some of the best Thai food in Seattle, with perhaps the best atmosphere of any Thai restaurant in Seattle

by ronglmr at Citysearch

Some of the best Thai in Seattle - and I've tried most! Flavorful, fresh and light! Smaller portions (not by a lot - but slightly smaller, yes). Tradtional Thai offerings, but much better than average. Atmosphere is much better than your average Thai place in Seattle (romantic even). Not so good for young children (hence the romantic qualities). Highly recommended!

• Pros: Good flavors, great atmosphere and service. Very good food!
• Cons: None to speak of.

Good lunch deal.

by paigeleeds at Citysearch

I'm not a huge fan of this Thai place, while the decore is nice, the thai food seems to lack a bit of authenticity.

Recently, I stopped by for lunch and found their lunch deal pretty good. You're served a cup of soup immediately, then salad, then noodles with an small side dish. I think it totaled to about $8. Service is h-i-t(Citysearch won't allow me to say that word without the dashes.) or miss, but others have told me they've had better experiences there.

• Pros: pad thai is good, fresh ingredients,
• Cons: un-authentic, service can be a bit rude

This inexpensive Ravenna Thai restaurant provides prompt service and large, heavy portions of classic Thai dishes.

Most awful Thai food in town

by tn107 at Citysearch

If folks think this is the best Thai in town, they must not get around. Perhaps we went at a bad time, but how can it be that three dishes were equally dissatisfying? It's definitely made for Americans; the food is either too sweet or bland (and not even the sauces help). They obviously use minced garlic from the jar. Their cheap methods of cooking make the prices completely unreasonable. I'm guessing it needs to be expensive to take care of the high overhead of renting out the nice location. That was the only positive part of the visit. The service was fine, prompt, though our waitress did not crack a smile with any of the patrons during the time we were there.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Bad Food, Stoic Waitresses

left a bad taste...

by petersmommy at Citysearch

I went for lunch with a friend, we live very close and I've had good take-out from here before. Our lunch waitress was beyond impolite - spoke to us quite disdainfully and never checked back after we got our food. I normally enjoy their food, but was so offended, I will not be back.

Flavorless Thai

by grubglutton at Citysearch

I have been dragged by friends to the Royal Palm on many occasions, and I will not go back. Although the atmosphere is is great for an Asian restaurant and the service friendly, it doesn't make up for the bland, overpriced food that caters to Western tastes. Regardless of the number of stars you request, the food is not spicy. I have tried the curries, salads, larb, mee krab, pad thai, and salads and remain unimpressed. The food is heavy, too sweet, and lacking in the complex mix of sour, spicy, salty, and sweet that characterizes Thai food. There are many, many other Thai restaurants in the area that serve far better food.

• Pros: attractive decor, romantic lighting, friendly service
• Cons: bland food, overpriced

Definitely one to try!

by ijrc at Citysearch

I have been here a few times and I must say that I have been satisfied every time. The food is great, the portions are good, and the ambiance is wonderful. Great for dates. If you love Thai food, you have to check this place out! The price is good for the portion size (around $8.50 avg)

• Pros: Fast service, Large portions, Great tasting food
