Royal Jasmine Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Goodyear

I came here for the first time with a friend of mine, who eats here quite frequently. I've been to several Thai restaurants before so I had high expectations.

We came during the early afternoon and was happy to discover the offered a specific lunch menu at very affordable prices.

The owner (I think she was the owner) was very friendly and accommodating. Even funny, in fact!

I ordered the Red Curry lunch dish.

As a part of the lunch menu order, I received a tasty cup of soup, an eggroll and a potsticker before the main course. Everything was excellent.

The red curry dish was well spiced (at a medium spice level) and the portion size is perfect for lunch. I liked how they present the dish, with the red curry chicken and vegetables placed inside a bowl, which sat on top of the lunch plate.

This kept the red curry chicken dish completely separate from the generous portion of white rice that sat adjacent to the bowl, on the lunch plate.

This gave me the flexibility to mix (or not) the rice and the red curry chicken in the manner I wanted.

I was very happy with the food.

The only downside was that we did receive our soup, and sides before we had even gotten our drinks. I did have to get up to find a sauce that my friend likes as the server didn't offer it or bring it to our table.

The server was very friendly and polite, but, to be honest, was a bit slow. It wasn't that busy in the restaurant, so it should have been a bit better in my opinion. She could have been new or just had an off day.

However, the food and environment more than made up for these minor issues, which is why I ended up giving them a 4 star review. Will be...

This is not a friendly environment for families with young children! I went back and forth about writing this review, but I decided it was important to share our experience to warn other parents.

We have three young children, all whom were very excited for a dinner out after family pictures. My daughter (3) had a meltdown as soon as we were seated, but thankfully we were in the back section where nobody else was. She soon calmed down and was on her best behavior, quietly playing “I Spy” with her brother and dad. However, as the room began to fill and the time we waited began to lengthen, my youngest (1) started happy squealing. Granted, his squeals are similar to screams, but the entire place was loud. After a couple of minutes, I was gauging whether I need to take him outside or just give it another minute as our appetizer was surely almost ready. Instead, the waitress walked over to our table and let us know our order was going to be made to-go. No warning, no offer to sit on the empty patio… just an invitation to leave. WOW. I then waited alone as my husband took our devastated and crying children to the truck. The bill made it to the table within a couple minutes. The food, however, did not. I watched as the tables around us were prioritized and served their food despite ordering after us. I waited and silently cried for over 15 additional minutes for our food just to have to ask for silverware and the kids’ drinks we paid for. Zero compassion.

To the owners: I hope you show(ed) your children a little more grace than you...

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the consistently delightful dining experience I've had at your establishment, particularly with regard to one of my favorite dishes, the Spicy Noodle Thai Hot with Veggies.

Every time I order this dish, it never fails to impress me with its bold flavors and satisfying texture. The perfect blend of spice and freshness from the veggies truly elevates the dining experience to another level. It has become my go-to choice whenever I visit your restaurant.

In addition to the Spicy Noodle Thai Hot with Veggies, I've also had the pleasure of trying the wonton on a few occasions, which I found to be equally enjoyable. It adds a nice variety to my meal and complements the flavors of the main dish perfectly.

I also want to commend your online ordering system, which has made the entire process incredibly convenient. Being able to place my order from the comfort of my home and receiving a text notification when it's ready for pickup has streamlined the dining experience for me.

Overall, I can't thank you enough for consistently delivering such delicious food and excellent service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and another delightful meal at your...
