Royal Thai Cafe was a miss for us. While the dishes had some flavor, the quality of the meat totally ruined the experience—it felt overly processed and just unappetizing. Once the food cooled down a bit, it became almost inedible. Definitely not planning to return.

We eat a LOT of Thai food, traveled there several times, even got engaged in Bangkok. This restaurant is the real deal! Flavors and textures were excellent, the meats were tender and juicy and there were lot of vegetables. The best Thai food we’ve had on US soil.
The staff was lovely and helpful, we can’t wait to come again, probably will every week!
Highly recommend for folks who truly understand authentic Thai foods. Thank you so much for a great evening. Strongly recommend ordering Family Style and sharing everything, let them arrange the order, but foods come up quickly.

I can’t say it is the most authentic Thai food I have ever eaten but it was still delicious! My family ordered takeout over the phone and they graciously accepted our order despite being about 30 minutes until closing (sorry!). We ordered the pad thai, pad see ew, green curry, and mixed seafood basil stir fry and it was all great with just the right amount of spice. The green curry was especially delicious! With such large portions, the value is also excellent

Tasty thai curry. The spring rolls were too oily for my liking.
Chicken satay was a bit chewy.
Staff were friendly, they helped us get some cash which we needed for something.

Was pleasantly surprised by this place:
Service was kind and fast,
Food was yummy and flavorful – me and my wife eat a lot of Thai in NYC, and this is def on par.
Portions were generous, price average, and overall a great dinner

The food was good. (Not happy about a surprise upcharge on our pad thai-said it came with shrimp, then got charged for shrimp, but oh well.) They have a cool machine to save the servers from carrying food and plates throughout the restaurant that was fun to watch. Overall a nice place for dinner our first night on the island.

The food was okay. I won’t say it was great. The red curry really missed the mark of Thai flavors. However, my family and friends liked the Drunken Noodle.
I would say give it a try and maybe you’ll like it.

The chow mein was perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of ingredients, while the spring rolls were fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor.
Despite the bustling atmosphere, the wait staff managed to be incredibly attentive and efficient. Their friendliness added a warm touch to the meal, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. A special mention goes to the young gentleman who served us; his cheerful demeanor and prompt service truly stood out.
It’s one of those few times where I’ve left absolutely no leftovers behind, a testament to the quality of the meal. I would return to try other dishes.

Restaurant looked nice and we ordered carryout. Food was just ok – heavy on the fish sauce. Sweet/Sour chicken was good but the Pad Thai chicken was all fish sauce, very little hint of peanut or coconut. Hard to eat it unless you like the taste of (raw) fish :(. Wouldn’t recommend – go elsewhere for Thai on the island

Enjoyed our meal over at Royal Thai. We were staying close by and needed a hearty meal after a long day of travel. This certainly did the trick. They had a good assortment of dishes and the food came out extremely fast! They even have robots to help deliver dishes which is always a fun little twist.
Food was tasty, service was solid, and atmosphere was to be expected for the location. Would recommend the Siam chicken dish which was a standout for our meal.
