Service is good and the staff is friendly. Great Calamari....tender and delicious. It is best when you order it at the restaurant rather than take out. The curries are great! We call in and order for take out often and it is still tasty and good when we get it home. The take out order is ready for pick up on time. Pros: convenient

Mediocre, not what I was expecting. Pleasant environment friendly staff, but the food doesn't match their menu desriptions. I ordered rice and it did not come with the vegetables that the menu said it did. We filled our own water several times the restaurant was over half empty. The Pad thai was blah..bland...not even fulfilling with way to much sauce scarce on the veggies. Overall I will not be spending my hard earned money there anymore.

Vegetarians, beware of this restaurant's menu. There is a section labeled "vegetarian," and every item contains fish sauce. The only things available for vegetarians at this restaurant is a special request for "no fish sauce," and plain rice. I had a specially requested "no fish sauce" veggies & tofu, and it was flavorless and bland. Not spicey at all, with what seemed to be just soy sauce as a sauce. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Pros: Convenient location Cons: Decietful menu - be careful!

Royal Orchid used to be one of my favorite places for Thai. However, something has happened. I dont know if there are new owners, new chefs or what, but the food is terrible. Even the Phad thai was bad and that is a pretty easy dish (in my opinion anyway). I could not eat my meal. The service was good and wait staff friendly. That is the only positive I can state about this place. Pros: Service Cons: Food

One of the best restaurants in the area. Stands out as being ranked with the top of all the Thai restaurants in the Seattle area. I go here frequently and have always had superior service and tasty food. They have all the standard Thai dishes with choice of meats and tofu, as well as the noodle dishes. The spring rolls are not to be missed. Affordable prices, a great place to take your guests. PROS: The food is outstanding CONS: Often short on Thai wine, and of course the run down motel next door.

Royal Orchid is a great place to eat. Everything in there is great tasting. The Restaurant is large and roomy. Often you can have an intimate conversation without the people sitting next to you hearing it. The ambiance is wonderful as well. A great place to eat and enjoy who you are with.

We love Thai food and love this restaurant. It is a great value with wonderful service. There is a dumpy hotel next door but don't let that sway you :)

The food here is great. The service is good and the prices are reasonable. You rarely have to wait for a seat due to the size of the restaurant. All in all a great dining experience.

For the Thai standard in Washington, the Royal Orchid offers pretty good food. Phad thai here is great. The peanuts and bean sprouts are crispy and crunchy, surrounded by noodles embedded with the delicious phad thai spices. I prefer the maximum spicey level for that little extra "kick". The seafood here is great with good portions! The mussels are plump and large with mouth-watering sauce! Seafood stir fry offers less seafood but bathed in addictive & spicey sauces. The service is probably the best I've seen in Renton, and probably the most polite I've ever seen in a Thai restaraunt. The environment doesn't fit my model for a romantic experience, but there is a hint of class to make Royal Orchid stand out in the "classless Renton." The prices are competative, not spendy or a budget. Royal Orchid is definetly on the better side of Thai food in Washington. Pros: Seafood, Good Phad Thai, Good Service
