Food was delicious, they were more than willing to make an additions or substitutions that we asked for. They have glass noodles which are an amazing substitution in pad Thai. Also very reasonably priced. The space is a bit small for how popular they are however just expect to possibly need to take out instead of dine in. I love the smaller atmosphere. Customer service was awesome. New go-to Thai restaurant in town.

Great service, they were very kind. Food was flavorful, specially the black and garlic tofu and the basil fried rice. We are vegan and we were able to order vegan food. They have a small vegan section on the menu. Would be amazing to have a vegan curry option. Beautiful presentation and clean dining rooms. Had a Thai iced tea with coconut milk and fresh rolls. Recommend to add tofu to the fresh rolls and to the rice.

I had heard about Royal Thai Kitchen from a few friends, but it hadn't bothered to check it out because I live on the other side of town. That changed yesterday and it was worth the drive. I grabbed several takeout dishes and each one was delicious. The staff were really kind during my quick visit. I will definitely be back to try some more of their offerings.

I stayed at The Hotel Salem and searched all restaurants around it and this place popped up. It was amazing! It’s a smaller restaurant but the people there are so pleasant. Food is amazing. I had a great time there.

This restaurant was new to us. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise in all respects. Super attentive and friendly waitress. We tried the yellow curry with sweet potato and veggie lovers stir fry, both with chicken. I know it sounds like hyperbole, but it was definitely the best Thai food I'd ever had, by far. I ordered the yellow curry medium spicy and it was perfect for me--- I like spicy, but I don't think I'd want it any hotter. They had a large order on the drink menu, including mixed drinks. We didn't try any. They also had many vegan and vegetarian options. It's a modest little Thai restaurant, with inexpensive but tasteful decor. Soft, quiet minimalist ambient music playing in the background. And the final surprise? It was really inexpensive. Two full meals with a pot of tea was less than 30!

Late post: However, Best Thai restaurant in town so far to celebrate our Valentines day night out. Love our waitress, she was very attentive, kind, and friendly. She always had a smile. She pointed out and recommended that our choice was one of her favorite (Papaya shrimp salad). The chef sauces and entrees were made wonderfully great and delicious to me and my husband’s taste as it wasn’t too spicy or too hot to our taste buds. As a person who can’t eat spicy food, this place understands me. We love the food that we’ve chosen to order and the ambiance was comfortingly sweet and nice. (Total dinner with tips for two: 130). “We plan to return as we had a wonderful and pleasant experience.” The drinks, food, and desserts that we ordered and enjoyed immensely were: 1.) Martini-Lychee with garnished lychee on a skewer stick 2.) Martini-Coconut Vodka, & cream with shredded coconut rim 3.) Thai iced tea with cream 4.) Husband-Basil Fried Rice: * Thai style spicy fried rice with egg, red and green bell peppers, onions, chile and basil. Spicy. 5.) Wife-Papaya salad shrimp: * Shredded green papaya, carrots, green beans, with lemon lime dressing, chili, tomatoes with steamed shrimps, (5), peanuts comes with purple sticky rice. 6.) Wife-Half Duck: * Half roasted duck with steamed vegetables and chilli tamarind sauce on the side and rice 7.) Wife-Tom Yum Soup/choice of seafood meat: * Sweet, spicy, sour with lime juice, fresh chili, carrots, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, mushrooms, and tomatoes. (Seafood-calamari, mussels, shrimp, & scallops) Spicy. 8.) Husband-Deep fried bananas * Deep fried golden spring roll bananas with chocolate covered syrup vanilla ice cream: 9.)

So happy to find very good Thai food close to home! Every dish, very fresh! We got a bowl of Tom Kha Kai soup (the one with coconut milk), green curry, red curry and Drunken Noodles. It was enough for 4 people. It a basic, casual restaurant (not fancy), but clean and a very kind server. I am generally vegetarian, so we got everything with tofu and I noted they have many vegan options.
