Dinner tonight at the Royal Barge.
120 SW H St, Grants Pass
I always forget about this gem as it is quietly nestled by the Wonder Burr and Sunshine natural foods. I really enjoy the food here. Our appetizer was wonton wrapped shrimp with a tasty dipping sauce. Wonton soup makes my insides happy and the chicken based offering here is delicious. Hubby had the green curry with shrimp on brown rice, also delicious. Do youtself a favor and drop by for lunch or dinner some day. Tell them I sent you.

Honestly was not great. First time eating here. Came just before lunch rush and wasn’t busy at all, which I usually prefer as the food should be as fresh as possible and made without rushing. The rice was definitely not fresh, very dry (not crunchy) and some parts were completely hardened together, seemed like it was yesterday’s rice which is strange considering the extremely low cost of rice. I got the pad cashew with beef lunch special. I took a bite from the outer edge and it was warm, not super hot. I then took a bite from the center and it was so hot it burnt my tongue immediately. Kind of seems like it was microwaved to me. I’m not an expert, but it just seemed like simple things were being skipped or overlooked to save a few cents and/or a few minutes of prep/cook time. Not sure why anyone would want to serve food that way. The dressing on the house salad was 100% Ken’s honey mustard, without a doubt. It’s my favorite store bought honey mustard and I always have a bottle in the fridge, so I didn’t mind that being the dressing. The only problem is it was very watered down. Again just something to save literally cents.

I got the Pad Thai lunch special which goes from 11-3 for only $11 and filling! They have a list of dishes to pick from for the special.

Great food and service was spot on. Friendly staff. Did I mention the Red Curry!! The best!! They even make it hot, medium or mild. I absolutely love their house salad dressing.

This is the first time I’ve had the Royal Barge. After reading several positive reviews, I ordered drunken noodles with beef among other food items: Coconut soup and salad rolls to go.
I was really looking forward to the noodles because they’re one of my favorite Thai dishes. I was expecting the usual noodle dish that usually has a sauce and really good fresh vegetables, meat, etc.
Once I got home about to eat, I noticed that the noodles were bland. The vegetables weren’t fresh at all and it had no flavor. Beef was dry and chewy. I ended up having to sauté everything myself in some soy sauce for some flavor. The soup had huge chunks of lemon grass and some root that was also inedible. The only good thing we’re the rolls, but even those I had a hard time with as they were falling apart with every bite. I’m sad because I wanted to try a new restaurant in town as the one I usually go to was closed. I hope It was just a one time mistake.

Tempura calamari was excellent. They also have a decent bowl of street noodle soup. Will be returning to try other dishes.

Just like I remember 25 years ago. Hot, crappy A/C, old cruddy building, but the food was just excellent. Best Tom Yum soup I’ve ever had. Great service. This was the very first place I had Tom Yum Goong, and I’ve traveled the country eating Thai food all over searching for that same flavor, nowhere comes even close! The flavor is phenomenal. Everything was just delicious, thank you for staying the same Royal Barge!!! Best Pad Thai too. Yum yum!!!

The combination appetizer was flavorless over cooked and down right awful got the beef and broccoli with peanut sauce and it tasted like peanut butter gravy then took a bite of my friends pad Thai and wanted to spit it out cause it was that awful. Recommend not wasting your money on this place

Very kind service, clean seating area with nice music playing. Food was delicious and good portion sizes. We especially liked the Yum Tofu, Egg Rolls, and Lunch Special Chicken Fried Rice. We will be back next time we are Grants Pass for sure.
