Thai Royal Restaurant — Restaurant in Queensland

Meals ordered: penang chicken curry with coconut rice, chicken pad see ew noodles, garlic pepper chicken, beef with basil and chilli, Thai fried rice.

I have visited 4-5 times and the experience has been exceptional. My favourite dish is the penang chicken curry however all of the meals have been amazing. The staff have been wonderful and the restaurant is very inviting and nicely presented.

Allergies were able to be catered for with some meal options for my sister to try. Her allergies being seafood, fish, coconut, dairy and tree nuts we thought may be a challenge. Staff went above and beyond to check which dishes could be modified. And the food was beautiful. On this visit we ordered beef with basil and chilli, garlic pepper chicken and thai fried rice. The meals were lovely and this was a busy Monday night!

The meals were all presented well and cooked to perfection; tender meats, aromatic sauces, colourful vegetables and lovely noodles/rice.

I had previously tried 4 other Thai restaurants in Toowoomba and was not at all impressed. Having eaten at many Thai restaurants over the last 4 decades in south east qld i was starting to think Toowoomba had no outstanding Thai restaurants. I'm so pleased to have found this gem based on two friends recommendations who also live 4 hours away from this location. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.

The dessert menu is very tempting and after seeing another table order deep fried ice-cream, I plan to order...

I've been eating here for almost 10 years. Chicken cashew nut with coconut rice has often been my go to. Since I became aware of the change of owner I have ordered food from here 4 times. Each time has been worse than the last but tonight has led me to write a review.

This meal has always tasted the same. Tonight, it was tasteless. It was like eating mush with a bland sauce. The coconut rice tasted like it was cooked some time ago and reheated with normal rice mixed in. The vegetables were tasteless as if they were cut some time ago, frozen and reheated. The chicken was no better. The sauce has changed or at least it had on this occasion. Nothing tasted fresh or of high quality.

The staff here are always welcoming. I have seen in the past few months that there are less of them and it seems the culture and morale of the place has deteriorated. At first the staff looked like they were trying their best to keep up the same standards of service with less staff, now they just look exhausted.

I don't know if I will be back after tonight, which is a shame after all these years. The online menu/ordering system is a good improvement, perhaps with more people using it you can invest in some more staff to help in fresh kitchen preparation (if you are currently getting staff to cook ahead of time).

Hopefully things return back...

5/5 Stars

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Thai Royal Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming, ensuring that we felt at home.

The food was truly authentic and outstanding. Each dish was carefully prepared, and the flavors were bold and aromatic. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Tom Yum Soup, and each one exceeded our expectations. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was impressive.

What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service. The staff were hands-on and attentive, ensuring that our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed. They were also very accommodating, happily adjusting the spice level and making recommendations.

The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with traditional Thai decor adding to the ambiance. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and service.

Overall, I highly recommend Thai Royal Restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Thai dining experience. The combination of outstanding food, exceptional service, and cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination.

Will I return? Absolutely! I'm already looking forward to...
