Curries are their best, it cost more to eat here so take away is cheaper. Limited parking but food is amazing.

First time purchase , We ordered the Chicken Satay and the Crispy Duck with sticky rice. The meal was absolutely delicious, the staff were very pleasant though the boss lady was very business like and did not seem to smile, But hey food this good who cares about a little grumpiness. We will definitely be going back , very well priced too.

Very friendly and polite staff here. The waiter was able to answer all my questions in details and gave very good recommendation. It’s very helpful for someone who can’t decide what to order, like me lol.

This dish is sooooo flavourful! Very nice and strong peanuts flavour shines through and goes very well with rice. Loved it!
Lemon steamed fish 6/10
Been craving lemon steamed squid ever since our last trip to Thailand. We weren’t able to find any places in Auckland that does it yet, so we had to go for the next best thing. The lemon steamed fish here is served like how they do it in Bangkok, love it. The lemon flavour could be a bit stronger though.

Had dinner here with my family for a birthday and what an amazing experience it was. Cozy restaurant, with waiters who were always attentive. Although the food took a while to come out, the food was great. Their curry puff pastry was a little bit to thick for my liking and the sticky rice was too sticky and rock hard to eat, however I did enjoy my Green Curry. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. One thing we all noticed is that we didn’t need to season our food. I would definitely come back for more. I’m sooo glad that there is good Thai restaurant nearby.

Best Thai place in Auckland! Lots of meat and variety of veges! Very consistent.
Personal favorite would be the yellow curry and garlic and pepper stir fry! The mixed entree is also really good!

Edit...... Came here again with a friend. I had the crispy duck with peanut sauce. It was amazing. The flavours and different sauces were fantastic and the duck was cooked perfectly. The veges were perfect too. The service was great and the hot towels were very nice, hopefully this standard will stay up!

My husband and I came here earlier this year for dinner and really enjoyed the food although the service was incredibly slow. So I thought it would be a good place for my friends and I to come to again. No such luck. Service was incredibly slow! Between ordering our drinks, to receiving them, to ordering our food, to getting our entrees and then waiting for the mains, everything just took forever! And the food was not that great when it arrived. For entree I had chicken satay which was nice but didn't taste thai at all, was just a plain peanut sauce. I had ordered Chicken Mussaman for Main. And then told half an hour after ordering it that they don't have chicken mussaman available only beef? So I changed to chicken Yellow curry, and it sucked, all it tasted like was curry powder, so weird. Well i won't try out here again. As a kid I used to come here all the time with my family to see Sam the owner. It's such a shame that it has gone downhill so much.

Great range of basic Thai favourites. Standard setting with nothing out of the ordinary about the interior.

We shared a range of dishes to share between five of us and the food was excellent! The curries were delicious, spiced very nicely and presented very well! Great value for money as food is well priced also. Great option for a regular Thai meal out!

Don't get confuse with Symonds Street in Auckland City. This restaurant is located in Symonds Street - Royal Oak.
This place have a nice ambience and the service it really good.
The portion is just right and the fish is a must try. Great for sharing and the price is reasonable too.
Definitely recommend this place ☺

A cute little restaurant located near the busy Royal Oak round about. This thai place tastes nothing like any other thai restaurant I've tried before. The food is flavoured very well i couldn't stop eating. The curry was so good I ended up pouring it over my rice because it was so tasty. However, for the price you are paying for, it's relatively expensive as you are given a very little portion. However, if you have a small apetite, definitely give this a try.

Royal Siam is a little Thai place located next to the Royal oak roundabout. The restaurant is well presented and tidy. They had quite a few staff on and the service was reasonably good.

We ordered the spring rolls and the Chiang Mai cashew nut with tofu and a serving of rice. Originally we wanted to get the Corn cakes but they had run out ..which we thought was a bit odd, as wouldn't the mixture be made fresh? We shared these two dishes between the two of us but could have easily had a main each. The dishes were both fresh and tasty - we enjoyed the sauce in the Chiang mai.

Prices are normal for a restaurant but you can definitely find cheaper places nearby but the here food is authentic and ready!

Absolutely love this place. The food is all super super tasty. They are fast to cook it and they are really friendly. This is my go-to place when I need a Thai food pick me up. Tonight I had the chicken larb which had lots of tasty herbs in it and I had the chicken Tom kha soup. Such a tasty dinner. And they deliver! Amazing.

This is one of the best traditional Thai restaurants I've tried in Auckland.

Came in on a Thursday dinner with my husband as we we're craving for some Thai food. Place looks fancier compares to other Thai restaurants we've been to.

We ordered Prawn Tom Yum (Medium), Chicken Panang Curry (Medium) and Prawn Pad Thai. Everything was delicious. Quality of food is great and we will definitely come back!

Even though it is a little bit on the expensive side for casual thai, this place still had some great dishes. I had the chicken satay, pen ped, lamb massam curry with roti and rice. For entree, the chicken was cooked very well for the satay and had a great peanut sauce. The ped was my favourite dish of the night. A good portion, the sauce was very tasty and had the right amount of spiciness.
The roti was too oily for my liking, and very sweet when compared to other thai roti that I have had. The curry was beautifully fragrant and the lamb just melted in the mouth.
The food was coming out a little slow considering there weren't many people that were in there, (understand that there are many takeaway orders) but the lovely service made up for that.

Lunch for us today @ RS and what an absolute winner. Between the two of us we ordered prawn toast, cashew chicken and prawan Thai fried rice. Great prices, cute little restaurant and the staff are great. We were actually going to go to Nanam and thankfully in this instance, they were closed.

Most meals were delicious and the service was great. The duck spring rolls were excellent. The yellow curry was quite flavourless. A little expensive for the portion sizes but would definitely go again.

Decided to come here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon once we had realised that the Thai Archer across the roundabout was closed. Initially there was no one at the door or counter to seat us, but what was lacked in service at first was definitely made up for in the quality of their food. We ordered duck rolls, pra ram with prawns and pad thai with beef. The duck rolls were accompanied well with a delicious oyster sauce and were cooked to perfection definitely the highlight of the meal. The main dishes of prawns and beef were also just as well done, all at a fairly affordable price due to their lunch time deals. Would definitely return if was looking to eat Thai in Royal Oak again.

We really wanted to try Nanam but we couldn't sneak ourselves in their massive waiting list on a Saturday night. So we went to try Royal Siam which is right next door. We were really not expecting anything from this place, but we were really surprised by how nice the service was. We enjoyed our orders as well (Bangkok Yellow Curry, Cashew Chicken, Pad Thai) and the free flowing rice was a nice surprise as well! If we happen to find ourselves hungry around Royal Oak, we wouldn't mind giving this place another go.

This is our local Thai place and we quite enjoy it

We often order their Cashew nut chicken and the flavours are fantastic. However for me I like more veges in my Thai dishes .. Can never have enough broccoli or carrots in my books

I prefer this Thai to others in the area, staff are really friendly and food is decently priced and by tasty

We enjoy casual nights at Royal Siam.  My partner and I have dined here around 5 times - we always go for the panang chicken curry and a stir fry of some kind.  The thai beef salad is pretty tasty too! Always friendly wait staff.

An excellent meal in relaxing surroundings, served by a delightful waitress. All three of us found the food delicious. My soup starter - for once, genuinely spicy as requested - was exquisite and exemplary. I can't recall having better. The prawns it contained were perfectly cooked too. The main course - chicken in sweet basil - perhaps lacked the pizzaz of the soup, but was nonetheless tasty and hard to fault in any way other than its relative mildness.
Decent price, nice ambience, good service and, most of all, top notch food. I'm already looking forward to going again.

Have been visiting Royal Siam for the last 10 years, Sam (the host) is always lovely, the food is consistantly good. I have never had a bad meal either eaten in or as takeaways and have never heard anyone say a bad word about this place. This has to be the best kept secret in Auckland, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!

After searching, we found our favourite Thai place! The food is outstanding! Exquisite, well-balanced, and flavour-packed dishes. Great ratio of meat to vegetables and decent portion sizes. The hostess has always been very helpful and friendly, although we've only done takeaway orders so far, but it seems like a nice place to dine in. By the way, the medium spice level is perfect for people who love chilli but don't want to keep blowing their nose. Respect from one chef to another, cheers, you did a fantastic job with every dish we've tried so far.

The food is on point, perfect balance for everything. The service was kind and attentive.(being under staffed) We'll be going back.

Good food and atmosphere overall. Beautiful lighting and artwork on the walls. Beautiful crystals in the center. Staff are very beautifully dressed their Thai dresses. Shrimp and Tom Yum soup were terrific. Green Curry with lamb disappointed me a little, as the Curry was more yellow than it was green, lacked flavour, didn't fit in well with the rice and the lamb in the curry could've been more tender. Wait time for dishes on the longer end, but I can tell the effort they put into the quality. Would recommend.

Nice suburban Thai restaurant. Money bags were o.k, my friend commented on how fresh the chicken satay was. Crispy duck, and massaman curry were nice, just the right amount, the sauce for the duck was delicious. Good range of dishes, reasonable prices, attentive service with no rush to be kicked out. A nice touch is the hot hand towels...

A nice Thai restaurant that seemed very popular for online deliveries. Again, we understand staff issues are affecting the hospitality industry, but we were surprised out meals took a while to come out given our party of four were the only one's dining in. The quality of food i found to be average to good compared to my favorite Thai Restaurant, Taragindi Thai back in Brisbane. I would like to come back again as close friends of ours highly recommended this place, maybe the chef was having an off night as we all do..... till next time.
