Delicious creamy beef Penang curry and fragrant coconut rice. Pork-prawn spring rolls were nice as well. Reasonably priced. Great and quick service.
Some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten. So fresh and full of flavour. Food is made super fast, and it's very reasonably priced. It always sucks ordering a noodle dish and getting all noodles basically, but they're dishes are so full of fresh vegetables. Absolutely superb.
Was walking down Bay St and saw Emerald Elephant (another Thai restaurant) was full so decided to walk further down and sit myself down at Royal Orchard Thai, which is a smaller place (seats about 25 people maximum) but looked cozy enough, even though the chairs for each table are squashed too close to each other, and you will often clunk chairs if someone is sitting behind you.
Nice friendly female and male customer service. Ordered:
* Royal, crispy fish salad which had a solid crunch and a decent mix of shaved apple, onion and cooked cashews. Although the fish was tasty, there were only 5 pieces on the plate and munched down pretty fast;
* Chicken in stir fried, yellow curry with vegetables - sauce was a strong flavour, perhaps a generic one used for all those listed in the stir fried section. Decent amount of fish covered by capsicum and other vegetables. Normal flavour on the chicken, nice taste on the veggies, but a bit over-powering with the sauce;
* Small coconut rice - tasted good, standard.
* Green tea - sencha-style tea bag, complemented meal well.
Total: ~$50
Overall, a decent place with some alright dishes. Note that ratio of veggies to meat will be about 2:1. Good to head to for catching up with an old friend.
I've had Royal Orchid twice now and both times it's been exceptional. The staff are really friendly and one time I forgot to mention I wanted coconut rice and they changed it quickly and without hesitation. The red curry is my top pick, so creamy and delicious.
Really some of the best Thai food going around. Quality is really good with this dishes never having a whole heap of oil sitting at the bottom. Had the Penang Beef which was exceptional, flavours were first class and always are here. Consistent performer.
My local Thai restaurant , their food is delicious 😋 it’s so good I don’t get enough time to photograph it , as soon as it arrives my kids eat it !
I regularly order from here either pick up or on Uber Eats, Meals always ready within a reasonable time and prepared well. Chicken & Cashew stir fry is my fave and they always pack it with plenty of veggies as well! Great curry puffs and spring rolls and the few times I've dealt with their staff they've always been very friendly. :)
My first time to the Royal orchid Thai cuisine. The food was beautiful, good serving on your plate. My food was lovely. My friends meal was really nice he said. I would recommend it to anyone. The price was good. The staff was excellent and helpful.
Absolutely delicious food & great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!
