Decent Thai food. Good spice when I ordered my green curry a bit spicier than normal, but the curry didn't have many vegetables or other interesting flavor. Service was a bit slow, as others have complained. Lots of menu options for seafood. Good restaurant if you're nearby, but not worth going out of your way.Vegetarian options: Dedicated menu section with vegetarian options (mostly tofu and vegetable based).

This place is structurally not sound. The shaking motion of the ceiling fan disrupts the ambiance and vibez. This in turn causes the food to be late because the extra oscillations from moving objects cool the food in the kitchen as they are being cooked and cause long delays in food preparation and completion time. Would not recommend. Down with Siam Royal. Just kidding it's pretty good but the food wait time is real.

It was my first time trying this place since my office manager told me she loved their food. When she was pregnant, she ate here almost everyday. I got their Thai tea with cream and their pad see ew with shrimp. It was super delicious. It makes me very sad to know that they will be closing on October 16th this year due to rising rent costs. I hope lots of people get to try their amazing food before they close. I wiped my plate clean once I was done.

This place seems like it’s ran by a mom n pa. It’s quite cute, the prices r reasonable for being in Downtown PA. The food here is really authentic n the portions r a good size too. I’ve ordered about 5x different dishes and they’re all great! Highly recommend!!

We ordered chicken fried rice 5 stars, chili chicken was spicy but amazing 4 stars because of the spice level wasn't explained. Massuman curry 4 stars !! Everything was amazing just spicy so make sure you let them know before hand. Would definitely come back

We came to eat lunch on Saturday afternoon. The place was not crowded, few visitors were sitting at their tables. The staff came out directly, invited us to a table, gave menu, brought water.We ordered dumplings with chicken and a chicken-coconut stew with rice. We paid around 32 usd. The food came quite fast. The food was served on real plates with metal silverware, which is very appreciated - no plastic waste.I liked the dumplings and the stew, however my partner was not happy with the stew. He pointed out that the nuts were too soft and that some potatos had black stains. The worst was when we found a long black hair (see one of the pics) in the stew :(( after that my appetite was gone, good that I haven’t eaten it.Overall I think this is a nice place with a very Asian atmosphere, the staff was polite, the interior was styled, floors and tables were clean.. I would put a higher rating, but our food experience was not the best, I simply cannot tolerate hairs in food :(

Their food here is not bad. We got the spicy basil fried rice, the tofu yellow curry, and the klew soi noodles. The service here was awful. It took OVER AN HOUR to get our food. Not to mention, my dad who is a vegetarian can point out the fish sauce used in the basil fried rice, which they have vehemently denied. Good food, but stick to other Thai options if you can.

A very cute place run by a very friendly couple. They remember my name and order after going a few times and make sure that the food is always up to par.

Siam Royal is my go to place for Thai food. There are 3 dishes which I gravitate to when I visit -- the Yellow Curry, Drunken Noodles and my all time favorite the Masaman Beef Curry with cubes of tender beef that easily pull apart -- so good! Having moved out of the area and now trying to finding Thai food that compares to the quality and taste has proven elusive. I may need to resort to having friends ship me an order from time to time. So if you're in the area treat yourself to some of the best Thai food in town.

Truly special place. I've been going there regularly for 8+ years. My favorite Thai restaurant in the South Bay! Best spicy basil fried rice with chicken I've had in my life :) highly recommend!

My mom has been going here for years. At least 2-3 times a week like clockwork. She always brings me food when she goes and it's always amazing. Anywhere from pad Thai to bbq pork, real authentic Thai cuisine. Been eating their food for 3+ years now, never gets old.

Siam Royal Thai cuisine it's me, my husband and my best friends favorite. We love their food. My husband favorite dish is the pad Thai. I always get chicken yellow curry. Everything that we had gotten there it's delicious. You should give it a try.

Has gone down hill, service non existent, food portions smaller, quality mediocre. I really don't think this place will survive at this trajectory. They really need to double help

I placed an order for a basil fish through DoorDash. The dish was described on the restaurant's website as "sauteed with garlic, chili sauce, bell peppers, onions and basil". It arrived to my door, it was properly packaged but it really was below my expectations. The dish itself was fairly bland and primitive. It lacked the sophistication I found in other Thai restaurants. I ate all the food and I was disappointed. If that is what "authentic Thai cuisine" is like then I will be disappointed in Thailand. Don't mind the idiots that slam this restaurant with bad reviews because the DoorDash dummy cannot deliver the right order to the right door. It happened to me somewhere else but it's not a reason for giving a bad review to this restaurant. This business has little to no control over DoorDash and its operation. I saw several reviews like that on DoorDash. Rate based on food quality. If DoorDash does not care there is nothing SRATC can do aside from removing the DD service.
