Royal Siam Thai Cuisine - New York City

"Po Taek (serves two to four). The Po Taek soup is exceptional."

Great experience overall. The seafood lemongrass soup was outstanding. The curry with avocado was an interesting twist that I hadn't tried before, but it was a bit underwhelming. The interior was actually much nicer than I had expected from other reviews. The service was also very good. In summary, it was a solid meal—quite good but not exceptional, apart from the delicious soup.

Here's my take on what to order: I highly recommend this place! The service is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and you'll get a generous amount of food for your money. Start your meal with the MANGO SALAD as an appetizer for two, and if you're a fan of shrimp, I suggest the KOONG PAD PHED. It's a bit spicy, but you can ask for it to be milder if you prefer. This dish is absolutely incredible! I haven't come across any other Thai restaurant that prepares the mango salad and koong pad phed quite like this one. If you arrive early, take advantage of their lunch menu, which still offers large portions at a lower price. I hope this review helps someone out there! - Scotty
