Royal Thai

Royal Thai
2209 W Montrose Ave., Chicago, IL‎
Neighborhood: Ravenswood

Royal Thai.

Tonight, Anna and I finally found a Thai restaurant that reigns supreme over all of the others we’ve tried in this great city.  Royal Thai is a family owned and operated restaurant tucked inside the Ravenswood neighborhood, right across the street from Welles Park.  They have a very extensive menu that includes everything from traditional noodle and rice thai dishes to fancier curry and seafood options.  We started off with an appetizer of crab rangoon that was served with Royal Thai’s homemade sweet and sour sauce and proved to be crispy and light, and not greasy in the slightest.  For our main entrees, Anna and I both had noodle plates.  I had the crispy pad thai that was very filling and delicious.  Anna ordered the Royal Thai noodle plate, which happens to be the house special.  It included crispy wide rice noodles topped with bok choy, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, baby corns, onions, carrots and peapods in Royal Thai’s special house sauce.  Overall, the service at Royal Thai was excellent and our entire meal was under $20.  The only complaint we had is that we wish we lived in their delivery zone!  We will definitely be visiting Royal Thai again soon.
