Royal Barge Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Grants Pass

We chose Royal Barge for our anniversary dinner & we were awed. The decor is now a beautifully serene space with a combination of red & black. The wall adjacent to the comfy black booths is an elegant red with artistic representations of cherry blossom branches and small black & white photo images elegant in ebony black frames. The mural of the Royal Thai Barge accents the entire wall opposite, impressive.Table seating is available for large family groups or intimate diners. A black lacquer bar fronts the kitchen area which is neatly tucked behind black curtains. It is the staging area for beautifully crafted meals with palate pleasing surprises.

Ignore the negative comments online, try the shrimp with red curry, or the new shrimp with peanut sauce and a variety of vegetables, both are outstanding. Sake or the Thai Spice Green Tea are excellent choices for adult tastes. Don't miss the Coconut, Green Tea, or Coconut Pineapple Ice Cream for a delicious ending to your meal.

Truly a serene space, with a front of the house fountain & a exceptionally talented guitarist with soothing strum and pitch. A family business that desires to please. Authentic Thai Food. Don't miss...

Honestly was not great. First time eating here. Came just before lunch rush and wasn't busy at all, which I usually prefer as the food should be as fresh as possible and made without rushing. The rice was definitely not fresh, very dry (not crunchy) and some parts were completely hardened together, seemed like it was yesterday's rice which is strange considering the extremely low cost of rice. I got the pad cashew with beef lunch special. I took a bite from the outer edge and it was warm, not super hot. I then took a bite from the center and it was so hot it burnt my tongue immediately. Kind of seems like it was microwaved to me. I'm not an expert, but it just seemed like simple things were being skipped or overlooked to save a few cents and/or a few minutes of prep/cook time. Not sure why anyone would want to serve food that way. The dressing on the house salad was 100% Ken's honey mustard, without a doubt. It's my favorite store bought honey mustard and I always have a bottle in the fridge, so I didn't mind that being the dressing. The only problem is it was very watered down. Again just something to save...

This is the first time I’ve had the Royal Barge. After reading several positive reviews, I ordered drunken noodles with beef among other food items: Coconut soup and salad rolls to go. I was really looking forward to the noodles because they’re one of my favorite Thai dishes. I was expecting the usual noodle dish that usually has a sauce and really good fresh vegetables, meat, etc.

Once I got home about to eat, I noticed that the noodles were bland. The vegetables weren’t fresh at all and it had no flavor. Beef was dry and chewy. I ended up having to sauté everything myself in some soy sauce for some flavor. The soup had huge chunks of lemon grass and some root that was also inedible. The only good thing we’re the rolls, but even those I had a hard time with as they were falling apart with every bite. I’m sad because I wanted to try a new restaurant in town as the one I usually go to was closed. I hope It was just a one...
