Royal Thai in Aberdeen City

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. Very good food, fair prices. Very kind waitress and owner. We had trouble paying with cards and the owner calmly told us to come back the next day. But then in the end I suggested he pay in euros, cash. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you

Cozy atmosphere and good food. Friendly staff!

Exceptionally Fantastic Food !! The best food and dinning experience I have had for a long time !! Would highly recommend coming to eat. And like the food the Service was first class. I had a fabulous experience ! 5 stars can’t wait to come back. We had Chef mixed starters , 1/4 Duck , and various curries and honey chilli chicken , rice and noodles. All fabulous

Food was amazing. Great menu. Good size portions with excellent service. Defo recommend and will certainly go back.

Great food and super service will definitely be back

Excellent restaurant with super friendly and accommodating staff and absolutely delicious food (we loved the coconut soup) - and all that to affordable prices.

This was an excellent choice: delicious food, very friendly waiters

The food is not authentic. Way too much sugar in the food and lack of other tastes. All the food just tastes sweet.

Ordered via Deliveroo - Red curry wasn't very spicy but flavour was okay, though very watery. Singapore Vermicelli (by name only) was very dissapointing if it weren't for the barely cooked egg adding flavour it would be the blandest vermicelli I've ever tasted, literally no flavour or spice, was as if someone had tossed it in turmeric for colour and then thrown it in the tray. BBQ ribs aren't really BBQ just a ginger and soy mix and barely a trickle of it, but the ribs themselves were quite tasty and a very respectable portion size. Sesame coconut prawns were very dissapointing, simply not enough sauce, also feel it would have been better if the prawns were seperate instead of combined into an almost pancake like shape. Not the best, would possibly try again and hope for better but wouldn't be top of the list of potentials.

Had the beef Panang curry with coconut rice. The service was good, as was the atmosphere, but..... The curry sauce had a good flavour, but the beef used appears to be a cheap cut. It was soft, stringy and chewy.

The Royal Thai is now closed from 3rd January until 12th February 2024 for refurbishment, reopening on Tuesday 13th February 2024.

Brilliantly tasty food and great service

another fantastic night at the Royal Thai . Warm friendly welcome lovely staff excellent selection of food lovely cosy atmosphere Can't wait to return again

The papaya salad was very sour. Ordered something spicy but still not spicy and served with 2 sticks of grilled pork. Overall, the other food was delicious. I like foreign flavors. The staff are good and smiling. The shop is a little dark, but it's okay. There are delicious cocktails, Thai beer, and a variety of food menus.

Authentic thai resteraunt, a little off union street but worth sezrching for, very personable service, nice place and eating experience.

Fantastic restaurant. Been a favourite for many years. Food and service always to the highest standard. Highly recommend.

Beautiful takeaway tonight, platter with ribs and satay before beef with basil and chilli and a Red Thai prawn curry. Both dishes were beautifully cooked, succulent prawns and the most gorgeous sauce with the beef, fresh and no gloopiness that we’ve all experienced at other establishments. All topped off with rice and noodles. Just fantastic quality. Thanks Royal Thai!

Very tasty food. The waiter was very attentive, perhaps a little too attentive. He always stood 5m away and came as soon as the plate was empty. He seemed a bit rushed, even though we were the only guests. But basically very friendly. The ambience is good, but a bit too dark. Brighter would seem friendlier.

Lovely, warm welcome from staff. Great choice of meals on menu - we had a vegan and a coeliac in our family group and there was something for everyone.

Great staff and even better food would definitely recommend

A cosistantly good place to have a Thai meal. The service offered by the young staff was very good and the meals were nicely served. The food is always very good. the Tempura king prawn starter was exceptional.

Easily one of the best Thai restaurants in Aberdeen. Food is flavourful and authentic. I would highly recommend you try Som Tum (Papaya Salad) with grilled pork skewers and classic Pad Thai.

We had a great family banquet this evening! Lovely food, fantastic service and delicious cocktails, not to be beaten in the north east 👌

It was old-fashioned and vague/pale, letterly. The food was not bad ad all but also not splendid. Not spicy. Not the best Thai I ever had. And a little dull facility

Great authentic Thai restaurant! It wasn't too busy and they seated everyone away from each other so we had a nice dinner without interruption. The service was great and punctual. We had a mix of chicken and seafood dishes to share and everything had great flavor, even the egg noodles and rice.

Popped in looking for a table at 17.00 and the place was empty , we were served by a young waiter on his first outing . Our food arrived quickly and pipping hot and tasted delicious , always worth a visit , never disappoints

We knew this restaurant from the late 90s when we lived in Aberdeen. We went back wondering how it had evolved. The decoration may have changed but this is still a great place for dinner. We were made welcome from the moment we entered, the staff is nice and helpful, M. Wong eager to keep his clients happy. The food reminded us what we had in Thailand before. We will be back.

We visited this evening as a family and were not disappointed. The whole experience was fantastic, attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. We will be back.

I’d forgotten how good this restaurant was until a recent visit. It was probably the first Thai restaurant in aberdeen and the menu is as good today as it was 20 years ago. A lot of restaurants are loosing out on business due to the new shopping malls with multiple restaurant chains. Don’t let this independent escape its well worth a visit and reasonably priced too.

One of the best Asian dinning place in Scotland! Ordered pork skewers, chicken pad Thai, Paneng beef curry with coconut rice and a Tom Yum soup for two people. Overall the food was nice and authentically Thai although the beef was slightly overdone. Highly recommended and worth trying!

Always good service and great food here. So good to get some fresh and different flavours from a friendly restaurant. Meal was reasonably priced also and will be back soon

Good is too small Too pricey Very disappointed in the food as a whole & taste

Some of the best Thai food around! Great and very attentive service throughout. Highly recommended for an authentic Thai experience.

Thank you from Gerrard and Paterson Family for your care and attention on Xmas Day. The food was excellent and a great menu, something for everyones taste. Atmosphere amazing and Staff were excellent , service great. Thank you all for making our day extra special.

Excellent food, couldn't fault it.

Absolutely amazing restaurant, food incredible and staff so warm and friendly! We were only visiting the city but this restaurant seems to have a lot of return customers as they were all on first name terms! We would be too if we lived closer! Would recommend Banquet B…outstanding! Wine lovely too.

great place to eat me and my friend had the sharing platter it was just enough for us both and a great variety. service was really fast and food was delicious

Lovely and attentive staff. Great atmosphere. The food was delicious and came out in no time at all. Will return and recommend to others.

Lovely food ms service. Banquet meals good value

Enjoyed banquet meal for 3 people. They happily made some changes to the menu as 1 vegetarian with us. The food was fabulous - especially liked the tempura vegetables and the sesame prawns and cream sauce. The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome.

The food was so flavourful, everything was absolutely delicious and the service was fast and efficient. My new go to for Thai food!

Lovely restaurant and food fantastic. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Amazing food. Delicious. Very good service. Lovely surroundings. Its always worth returning for another meal.

Great food, great atmosphere. A little pricey but you certainly get what you pay for! 😁

Had a takeaway tonight from RT absolutely delicious, top notch will definitely be back, hopefully for a sit in meal when that becomes an option.

Amazing food! Really wish I ordered more; piping hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. Wouldn't hesitate to return again and again. Highly recommended! I ordered Honey Chilli Chicken with Egg noodles.

Good food reasonable prices very helpful staff

Primera comida para llevar del Royal Thai.Menú variado fácil de seguir + entrega incluso llegó temprano.Pasteles de pescado tailandeses + sopa tom ka kai exquisita.Me quedé muy satisfecho con el color y los sabores del pescado agridulce.El pato al curry verde con fideos era de ensueño.Pad Thai de gambas muy sabroso.En general, una comida muy sabrosa y sabrosa.

Visité el último día del programa del 50% para salir a comer para ayudarElegí Royal Thai como lo vi en Face Book,Y estoy tan contento de haberlo hechoDesafortunadamente, nunca había oído hablar de él.Recibimos un saludo cordial y encantador al llegar, que se mostró rápida y fácilmente a nuestra mesa, fue agradable ver que estaba relativamente ocupadoUn menú grande con muchas opciones, opté por los rollitos de primavera de pollo para comenzar y el pollo con miel y chile como mi plato principal con fideos.Mi compañero tomó costillas para comenzar y el pato como plato principal.Normalmente no podría comer un entrante y un plato principal, pero con la oferta lo probé, los rollitos de primavera de pollo eran realmente deliciosos, no grasosos, los mejores que he probado y venían con un delicioso chapuzón de chile dulce.Mi plato principal fue absolutamente increíble, el mejor pollo con chile y miel que he comido, pollo derretido en la boca, no repugnante como algunos pueden ser después de algunos bocadosTerminé hasta el último, mi compañero también terminó todo el suyo, y dijo que estaba increíblemente sabroso.Estuve encantado con mi comida, y el personal encantador, amable y sonriente hizo que la velada fuera muy agradable, es un restaurante encantador con un ambiente encantador tambiénEstoy muy contento de haber encontrado este restaurante y espero volver pronto.

En primer lugar, Simon es increíble. Hablé con él muchas veces y fue muy educado cada vez que lo llamé.Cuando llegamos, estaba allí para recibirnos y nuevamente fue muy amable.Peter nos atendió y fue excelente. Disfruté mucho la comida El servicio y la comida fueron excelentes, pero la mayoría de la gente fue muy amable en el restaurante Soy vegano y pude comer Sí, tenían comida que podía comer y disfrutar Regresaremos la próxima semana

Great service lovely food worth the money

What a lot has changed since my last review 😒 but the standard of food certainly hasn’t - we had 3 family take aways last night then a family face time, we all loved it - thank you to Simon and his team. 🌈

Mi familia me sorprendió el sábado al almorzar alrededor de 30 personas especiales en mi restaurante tailandés favorito: Simon y su equipo siempre fueron excelentes anfitriones y la comida fue increíble. Algunas personas han comentado que definitivamente regresarán. Todos tuvimos un día fantástico, no puedo alabar o agradecer lo suficienteBrenda ??

Delicious food and wonderful attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely be eating here again.

Beautifully prepared, delicious food served up graciously...a treat.

Great food service was excellent would definitely return next time am in Aberdeen the starter for two was fantastic

Spectacular food great service just how we remember it :) Amazing x x x

My duck curry was some of the best I have ever had - and I eat Thai food frequently. My husband liked his prawns in garlic sauce. The service was very friendly. The restaurant is just off Union St near the harbor.

The staff was very attentive and the restaurant is very beautiful as well. The atmosphere inside might be a bit dark fitting with the outside during the evening but not in a negative way. The variety of choice is quite big and the food is also good. What was, however, lacking for me was that there were no signs in the card, that anyhow mention if a dish is very hot, medium or only mildy so. Ended up wish a tasty but way to spicy dish for my reflux!

It’s been awhile so always the risk places have changed. Glad to say not the case here. Reasonably priced and this night an excellent five course set menu choice. Staff friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

Vi skal feire 45 års bryllupsdag og ble anbefalt Royal Thai Restaurant.Full klaff. Da de forstod vi feiret 45 års bryllupsdag ble vi lovet en fri drink på huset.Etter en god middag ble det Irish Coffe på huset, som perfekt avslutning på en fantastisk dag!

I've visited the Royal Thai for close on 25 years and it is / was one of my very favourite restaurants in Aberdeen. It pains me to write a bad review, but someone needs a wake up call, or this restaurant will end up closing.Was delayed into Aberdeen by a late train, but we thought 13:20 wasn't too late to arrive for a lunch. It was our only purpose for coming to town. The girl that should have welcomed us was way to quick to point out that the kitchen was closing! She clearly didn't want us to come in for lunch despite the opening hours indicating 14:30 closure. She appeared happy to see us leave. We went to Union Street to a competitor and had a nice lunch.

Quality food and service, friendly staff

Excellent food and service! Love it!!

I really enjoyed my experience here. Fast and friendly service. We didn't have a reservation yet they were very accommodating. We ordered a whole lot of starters and one main to share. It was yum! Pad thai was good!! I love a nice pad thai!But the main thing was locals obviously frequent there and the staff knew them well and were friendly with everyone.

Uno dei pochi ristoranti ad Aberdeen che sta aperto fino alle 23, davvero una salvezza. Ambiente elegante, con luci soffuse, nessuna difficoltà a mettere al tavolo 16 persone. Menù molto vasto, piatto con agnello anatra manzo pollo, zuppe, noodles, servizio preciso e puntuale. Prezzi nella media rispetto ad altri della zona. Davvero consigliato.

Superb food, staff friendly and very helpful, all round a great experience.

The food here is usually fantastic, especially the Mango & King Prawn Salad. Delicious and the sauce with it brilliant (Thai hot)

Mi colega de trabajo me recomendó venir aquí durante mi visita de trabajo a Aberdeen. Me recibió un camarero amable y educado que me acomodó apropiadamente mientras cenaba solo, haciéndome sentir cómoda.

Will always love this place! Been so Many times! Highly recommend the Lamb Massaman curry! The owners and staff are always really efficient and friendly

Love this restaurant always amazing food, been going for years never disappoints!!!

Esse restaurante foi recomendado por um amigo, valeu a pena a visita, adorei o cardapio, o atendimento foi incrivel e sabor da comida excelente. Amo comida Thailandesa e esse restaurante foi uma surpresa muito positiva na minha visita a Aberdeen. O preco das refeicoes e justo.

Excelente restaurante pena que se encuentre en una calle sin mucho paso.

Good food well priced. Was in a big table so had to ask for drink a couple of times

Excelente comida y servicio increíble, rápido. Ni siquiera tuve que esperar 10 minutos cuando esperaban los platos principales y el personal era encantador. La comida para llevar era igual de buena y tampoco parecía que se pusiera menos esfuerzo o servicio. Volveremos una y otra vez. Galletas de gambas gratis durante la corta espera fueron una ventaja añadida. Gracias al personal encantador que nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos.

Food and service was excellent! I'll be back!

Solo quería dejar un comentario para decir cuánto disfrutamos de la excelente comida y el servicio durante una visita reciente al Royal Thai. Había pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que disfrutamos la comida y no nos decepcionó. Entrantes fabulosos, excelentes platos principales e incluso lograron compartir un desierto. Yum! ! !

Beautiful restaurant, delicious foods.

Reservamos aquí para una comida de aniversario. La comida era sabrosa, fresca y no mucho tiempo para esperar entre platos. El servicio fue excelente y el camarero se mostró muy educado, paciente y respetuoso. Tuvimos una hermosa cena encantadora y fue agradable y tranquila, que es de mi agrado. Un precio muy razonable también así que sin duda volveremos!

*BEWARE THE SERVICE CHARGE; At the royal thai the service charge does not go to staff and under new legislation does not have to be paid.

Really great meal had here. Was the perfect end to an evening of Aisian style martial arts.

Delicious food and pleasant, attentive staff. Comfortable environment. Deceptively larger than it looks from the outside. Main and rice cooked perfectly for my liking. Meal was served in good time from ordering. I will be going back for more!

This is a great Thai restaurant. Staff attentive and friendly, great service and Thai food too, what more do you need for a great night out. Seriously nice Thai food, I loved my Tom Yum soup, just perfect.

Had dinner here with a friend from overseas. Good food, excellent services, nice decor. The green curry chicken was very good. A little hard to find, but worth it.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Efficient service

Great produce, lovely cooking, nice staff, quiet place, decent pricing... Recommended

The no 1 Thai Restaurant in Aberdeen by a country mile 🤓

Wow for authentic Thai cuisine there’s none better in ABERDEEN. Long time established and run by Simon very friendly owner who makes sure your service and food is first class, not to be missed if in town

Meget bra mat! Anbefaler å bestille «banquett», hyggelige servitører, mye mat for pengene. Anbefales!

Lovely meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Food value, tasty food and efficient waiter

The food was very tasty! Nice restaurant, very spacious. Staff was attentive and extremely friendly!

¡Visité aquí la semana pasada con mi esposo y amigo! Somos partidarios de un banquete cuando comemos en restaurantes chinos y estamos encantados de ver que hubo uno tailandés aquí. Gran variedad de comida, el personal se adaptaba a cualquier cambio y la relación calidad-precio era excelente. Los cursos llegaron bastante rápido pero aun así pudimos terminar todos los cursos.

Very nice food and relaxed atmosphere

Very tasty food, attentive staff.

Foods is great and variety of choice. Friendly staff with professional service.
