I love this place! Name change from Royal Siam but still tastes wonderful! Woot! We’ll be back!

Delicious food for people looking for something spicy. The Angry Duck dish was fantastic and the Pad Thai with Chicken was enhanced by the addition of some chillies. Make sure you ask for medium unless you want to blow your head off!

First time having Thai food. Ordered curries and was not disappointed. Very well prepared, large portions. Will definitely visit again when in Knysna.

Yesterday evening (01/03/2019) my wife and I decided to try out Royal Siam Thai here in Knysna, based on reviews we had seen, for our last dinner as our holiday comes to an end. Having looked at Royal Siam Thai's online menu, we were quite pleased to note vegetarian options. Being vegan and lovers of Thai food we are quite knowledgeable about ingredients used in Thai dishes which can be omitted from vegetarian dishes to make them vegan friendly; having eaten vegan at many Thai restaurants in South Africa and in Phuket, Thailand, both small and large establishments, as a couple we found Thai dishes very amenable to our dietary lifestyle. Hoping for a nice vegan Thai dish for dinner, my wife and I unfortunately had a surprising yet numbing experience at Royal Siam Thai. We had placed our orders for the vegetarian Vietnamese spring rolls, Tom Kha and Tom yum soups and two vegetarian stir fries and asked the waitress to please leave out any fish sauce, oyster sauce, shrimp paste and egg to which the waitress said she will indicate to the chef. Much to our surprise while waiting for our Jasmine Tea to arrive, we heard what looked like arguments between individuals coming from the kitchen. Of the three occupied tables in the restaurant we were the only table that had not been served. We heard someone complaining about our request to omit any non-vegan products from our chosen vegetarian order. We clearly heard the phrase: "Indian.. You must go". A few seconds later we see a man of Thai ethnicity emerge from the kitchen telling us that he is canceling our order and that we should leave and go eat somewhere else as he can't accommodate our request because Thai food can't be made as per our request to omit the non-vegan items. It is safe to say that my wife and I were dumbstruck, shocked, embarrassed and certainly displeased having been asked to leave and go eat somewhere else. The utter lack of respect, hospitality and concern for persons who took interest in their restaurant spoke volumes of their service mentality and integrity as food service providers to their customers. You can be assured that as a Vegan, Plant-based or Strict Vegetarian, you are not welcomed at Royal Siam Thai.

Excellent Thai food at reasonable prices. Plenty of vegetarian options also available. Efficient and friendly service.

I was so upset by my last visit to Royal Siam. I had ordered the Hangover noodles a while back and fell in love with this dish, it was delicious.
Returning with my mom to order the same thing as i had told her how amazing it was i was in for a shock when I got home. We order our take away waiting at the restaurant for them and left without checking our order.
When i got home I opened my dish and half the ingredient where not in we were both given a bland meal. i was truly disappointing and now find it hard to return. I wish i had gone straight back and shown them but it was late and my daughter was about to go sleep.
