Royal Thai Restaurant

Great Thai

by welltravelled at Citysearch

Okay, I've had better Pad Thai, but that's really an American dish. Everything else I've had is definitely above average. Try the excellent curry dishes (my favorites-and they will actually make it Thai hot for me) or some of the basil, ginger, or brown sauce preparations. The atmosphere is nice with subdued lighting. Service is leisurely -- this is not fast food. I like this restaurant well enough to have stopped what I was doing when I was looking up their number to respond to the negative reviews. This is the most authentic Thai restaurant in Brentwood/Cool Springs.

Great Thai food - just pick the right location!

Look folks, This is the review for Royal Thai in Brentwood - not the one on 19th. If you haven't eaten Thai all over the place (or had it prepared by an actual Thai native), you may not know the difference between standard Thai stuff and Thai when it includes Kaffir limes, kha phrao, phrik khi nu, or other authentic Thai flavors. The Royal Thai in Brentwood does it all, and they do a stellar job - you can safely ignore the negative reviews herein as those who simply don't know what real Thai cooking is like, or who went to the store on 19th and had a bad experience. Check out the store in Brentwood - it's fabulous, it's the real deal, you can ask for other Thai things that aren't on the menu, and you can be assured that you're getting the real deal - just don't order some americanized thing like Pad Thai and expect an international epiphani. If you want to make sure you're getting something authentic, ask specifically for something authentic, and ask for the correct spice level.

• Pros: Authentic Thai, properly prepared
• Cons: Inconsistent performance across stores

If you like Thai food, don't eat here.

If this food were pizza, it would be a soggy Domino.

Three of us went to the branch on 19th Ave. The food was under-spiced, some very over-salted and bore very little relationship to Thai food either here or in Thailand. We were not asked how hot we wanted our food nor offered sauces to spice it up.

Also the service was very slow.

• Cons: Insipid food

Only good Thai in Nashville!

This is the best Thai restaurant in Nashville that I have found. I have been to several and this is the only one that I would go back to. The Thai Iced Tea was great! I had the Thai Green Curry and it was perfect! This is the only Thai Restaurant in Nashville that I would recommend... Delicious!

Don't Waste Your Time!

by Jennipho at Citysearch

This is the worst Thai restaurant, not only does their food basically taste like something you can make yourself but better and cheaper, but so does their customer service!!! Not only did my boyfriend and I have to wait atleast 15 minutes to be recognized as waiting for a table, then another 15 minutes to get a table...finally when sitting down we didn't see our waiter for the next 20 minutes. When he finally showed up we ordered our drinks and food and then we never saw him again. We waited for atleast 45 minutes for our food and drinks, we couldn't wait any longer so just got up and left before the order probably even made it to the people microwaving it in the back. While waiting you can look back towards the kitchen and see that the waiters/staff sitting in the back talking and watching TV. If you come here be sure to have lots of time on your hands, because you'll be waiting and wasting a lot of it here!

• Cons: Service, food, parking
