Royal Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Lake View Township

As someone with Celiac disease, eating at restaurants can be a challenge. Even if the cuisine tends to be gluten free, there is always a possibility of cross-contamination if the staff isn't familiar with handling gluten free food.

Royal Thai is one of the few restaurants I can consistently visit and know that my food will be gluten free. Their staff is knowledgable about the ingredients of their food, they can make recommendations and even substitute gluten free noodles in their dishes.

In fact they are so good about looking out for me that when we order takeout, they always make sure to warn my husband that I am absolutely not allowed to try his dish, because it would make me sick. :)

Aside from the gluten issue, the food itself is very good. Their Pad Thai is delicious and their Tom Yum is a great cure for a cold or flu. Overall - highly...

My family tried this thai restaurant for the first time this evening. We ordered the Lard Na, Pad Broccoli, Basil Shrimp, and Red Curry. We will NEVER order from Royal Thai again after we found a 1.5 inch SCREW in our order of basil shrimp. When we called to report the incident, the manager was very rude and defensive, claiming his kitchen staff would never put a screw in our food...an irrelevant and totally unprofessional response. I had to speak with 3 different staff members before I was finally refunded for the basil NAIL shrimp. Aside from the nail incident, the dinner portions were also very small for the price and if you enjoy spicy food, their "hot" or highest level of spicy was about a 3 out of 10. Of all the wonderful thai restaurants In Chicago do not waste your time or money...
