Lamoon Royal Thai — Restaurant in Hobart

Don’t know from where to start…. Had dinner with family on Sunday night at 5:30 and was greeted very nicely by an Asian man. After that a pretty Chinese girl served us and to our surprise the dishes didn’t look like authentic Thai as we are regular Thai eaters. Chicken screwers, Tom Yum soup, Chilli Basil fried rice, Green curry, Cashew nut and Chilli Basil stir fry was what we ordered and it all was a disaster one after another, we didn’t complain as we were from Sydney and thought that will never be there again so not to spoil their business by writing negative review. Unfortunately, I have to as since Sunday night all members are terribly sick and cannot even breathe as they use vinegar in all their dishes instead of lemon.Chichen was stale and in vegetable mostly put onion and some Chinese Veges never seen before.

Lesson Learned, do not go to empty restaurants as they are empty for a reason.

Be aware everyone….

Tip to Chinese owners: Open a Chinese restaurant and you will do much better....

Not Quite Authentic – A Bit Too Heavy-Handed on Flavors

We recently dined at this Thai restaurant hoping for a flavorful, authentic experience, but unfortunately it didn’t quite deliver.

The dishes looked promising and had that signature wok-charred appearance, but the flavors were off. We ordered the Pad See Ew and the basil stir-fry, and both came out far too sweet and salty, overpowering what should have been more balanced, nuanced dishes. While the food seemed to have that “breath of the wok,” it leaned more toward burnt than smoky.

Service was a bit on the slow side, though the staff were polite. It wasn’t a terrible meal, but as fans of authentic Thai cuisine, we found it underwhelming and a bit heavy-handed in seasoning.

With some refinement, especially in balancing flavors, this place has potential. But for now, it’s probably not the best spot if you’re after...

Thai has become one of my favourite foods to eat and the dishes at Royal Thai only reinforced this.

I've almost covered most Thai restaurants in North Hobart and this almost felt like I'd left the best for last.

I was met with friendly service as soon as I had walked in. I already had an idea of what I was going to eat. I started off with Golden Cups as an entree $10.95 for 4 cups) which tasted great. I followed it up with Gai Katiem $18.95) for the main. This was possibly some of the best garlic chicken I've had so far.

There's a nice ambience inside and the staff really did a great job with service being friendly and helpful. The next time I go I think it'll with a few friends so we can take on one of the buffet deals and try a nice selection of a few different dishes.

Great...
