Small Thai restaurant in China Town that serves delicious entrees and has good drinks. We came in pretty early during lunch time and it was only a few others inside. The service was super attentive and patient as we needed some extra time to look over the menu. We ordered chicken satay and kee mow noodles. Both were perfectly prepared. To drink I had a watermelon lemonade and the wife and a lavender lemonade. We would definitely recommend to eat here.

Service was good. Food was as expected, good. Decor was fine, but tables are really close. Space is pretty tight. Restaurant was clean. Single unisex bathroom. In Chinatown area, close to the metro. I enjoyed everything I ordered. If you like Thai, this is a good place to dine in or carry out.

Came to this place since we were looking to eat veg in Thai. Small place in the Chinatown. They were quite accommodating to assign us a table 10 min before restaurant close out time. Tried drunken noodles, panang curry, garden wrap, spicy fried rice, sticky mango rice, Thai ice tea. Everything was delicious. Garden wrap was a bit bland, Drunken noodles were a bit spicy, panang curry was a bit sweet although it all tasted nice. Only thing to caution: the location is a bit shady, a lot of homeless people around.

While visiting DC on a road trip to Boston, I decided to give this place a try. Im so so glad I found this Thai cozy yummy cuisine. I did a quick google search and they had the best reviews from my location. It was in Oct on a holiday so they where not busy at all. I ordered via telephone, my food was ready in approx. 20min. I'm ok with the wait, good food doesn't need to be prepared quickly. Parking tip: hubs stayed in the car while on the side of the street, so no parking issues for us, also on most holidays street parking is free in DC, your welcome, Lol! Food was good and hot, we found a lovely park and enjoyed our to go food. Serving size was more than enough for lunch. I had the green curry and my spouse had the chicken fried rice. and chicken satay. The inside of restaurant was clean and tidy, staff was very professional. I did feel welcome, and this will be a go to spot if Im in town, yes I highly recommend them. Our food was absolutely delicious, not to spicy but just perfect!

I visited Monday night looking for some dinner. My friend and I were well received by the staff. The restaurant wasn't crowded. We were seated and the waiter attended to us promptly. I ordered the Classic Pad Thai with Chicken and my friend ordered the Drunken noodles. The food was very yummy. It met my expectations just the was I liked my pad Thai and the portion was also very generous. I will definitely recommend.

I came here on a Monday night in Dec. '22. There was only carry out/orders after 9 pm. I love the menu's variety of items to try. Food/Drink quality for price: good! I think walking with the food back to the Hampton inn in 40° weather took away some heat so I recommend getting there before 9 and dining in. Atmosphere: calm and chill, pillows at bench seats are nice touch Noise level: very quiet, just others' conversations Lighting: bright LED lights Staff: friendly and helpful Cleanliness: pretty clean, table was a bit dirty Seating: 16 seats inside at tables and a few at the bar Outlets: I didn't see any WiFi: noke ADA: Steps up to door will be an issue for some.

This is a cute little Thai place in Chinatown. They are on the cutting edge of technology: you can view the menu, order, and pay all from your phone (but they said they could take our order the regular way too). I had the pumpkin curry with brown rice, both of which are not completely common. The pumpkin curry had a good amount of meat and veggies: red and green bell peppers, calabaza squash, and basil. Yum! It was perfectly spicy: enough to make my nose run. My daughter had the Tom ka chicken soup, which she liked. Great place! Highly recommend!

The restaurant is located in China Town. We have to order online by scanning the QR code. It will redirect you to the menu and you can order and pay in one click. A little bit pricey but reasonable for Washington DC. The restaurant is small and compact. The service is good. I loved the food even though the taste is not excellent.

We were in DC for a short weekend trip and decided to give Royal Thai a try because it was close to our hotel. We had the Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, and the Thai Iced Tea. Everything was amazing, especially the Iced Tea. The restaurant is very small, so not a lot of room for seating, but it just makes it feel cozy. We'll definitely be looking to come back the next time we're in town.

We came here for lunch on a hot day of walking around the city. The food was terrific and the service was good! The atmosphere was just okay, I think it might be better for takeout especially since you order from your phone at the table anyway. The food is the real star of this place - we got the duck roll appetizer, pineapple fried rice, and vegetable pad Thai. All dishes were perfect!
