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.
Very disappointed…average and not fresh flavours…the stir fried pepper & garlic beef had a strange flavour and the garlic was not fresh..terrible won’t return for takeaway
Flavoursome enough but small portions and very slow.
Ordered take away as we had a menu at home. Quoted 20 minutes. Actual time was 40.
Highlight was the prawn crackers which were fresh and warm. Mussaman curry was ok, as was green curry. Roti was good.
In summary food was nice enough but not worth the wait.
It is a great Thai place! The service was great and the three dishes we tried were amazing. I would recommend it and I definitely will come back.
