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!
I learned about this tiny gem of a Thai restaurant when returning to DC on a business trip and staying nearby. I wish I'd known about Royal Thai when I lived in the capital! It's an unassuming presence on H Street and easy to walk by: the interior is intimate, about a dozen tables and a bar. The menu is classic Thai; the key is implementation and very reasonable prices. I ordered the Kra Prow on the server's advice. The portion was large and the chef certainly didn't skimp on the chicken. It was very spicy, so I was glad for the tea and water--but not overwhelming spicy, either. If I had more time in DC, I would have worked my way through the menu. The servers were attentive but not overly so, leaving me to my repast and reading in peace and not pushing me out preemptively. Looking around, others in the restaurant clearly were enjoying both the food and relaxing atmosphere.
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!
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.
Food was cool. Across the street from the hotel I was staying at. Had a couple beers. Got the spicy Thai rice. It was super spicy couldn’t really enjoy it but tasted good from what i had. I sat at the bar. Small quaint. Good customer service.
Small but delicious. This place seats maybe 20 people but the food is outstanding. I had the summer rolls, the duck rolls, and chicken satay. The summer rolls are a must.
Delicious food, beautiful environment. Prompt service. The food had a perfect blend of seasonings. Would definitely visit again!
Stayed across the street at the Fairfield, and had a late dinner take-out our first night. So good we ate there 2 more times during our five day stay. Absolutely the best Thai I've had in years. Good menu selection, great flavors. Only down side is limited seating.
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.
Great lunch spot! They were able to accommodate a last minute party of 5 and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Recommend the pad Thai with pork! Service was just a teeny bit slow but it was lunch rush.
