Roy Southern Thai Cuisine Phinney

One of the best Thai restaurants in Seattle! Very authentic cuisine and even better customer service. Every time I go here I feel like I’m part of their family. I appreciate the unique dishes that you can’t get elsewhere. Imagine southern hospitality but in Seattle! My favorite was the braised beef belly! Good hint of sweetness and savoriness. The roti bread was perfect in chewiness and flavor. The spicy dish we got had a powerful kick of spice. The curry dumplings puffs were so good, I could eat the breading by itself. The tea was very refreshing and good to clean the palate after a meal. The fried pineapple was unique and tasty! I highly recommend and would come back!

I’m Thai so I always have high expectations for Thai restaurants. But this place I would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could. I don’t see much Southern Thai food in the area, so this is new and exciting. They accommodated our 6-person reservation. The portions are on the smaller side, which let us try many dishes. I can say everything we tried was really delicious and authentic. The main highlight was MUU KHO. We had to order it twice. The spiciness level isn’t really at the level of southern food you’d find in Thailand, but I understand why. Myself, from central Thailand, cannot handle the real southern spiciness either, so this was perfect for us. Service was great and very attentive. There are many other dishes we didn’t try, and we will definitely come back.

The food was delicious, the Roy Khao Yum salad had amazing flavor and definitely worth getting with every meal. We also enjoyed the Moo Hong braised pork, though we wished it was a bit bigger portion size. Service was very attentive and kind, would come again!

I took my family to have to lunch at Roy Thai today. Everything that we order is so good. We ordered a lot food and A LA mode Ice cream. My brother love the Roti here since It's homemade. We left with full belly and happy. The owner is very friendly and service is excellent. We love this place. We will come back again<3 Roy Jang Hoo!!!!

First time trying Southern Thai cuisine and we were blown away! The food here is so good! We went during lunch so we could take advantage of their lunch specials...and there were so many items to choose from. I highly recommend the Hat Yai Plate, Lamb Curry Bowl, and Khua Kling. Everything was delicious. The staff were so friendly and welcoming! They even took the time to explain the dishes in detail. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood!

Roy Southern Thai Cuisine is fantastic. The mataba was golden and flavorful, the fried chicken perfectly crispy, and the pork belly rich and savory. The grilled fish with herbs was fresh and fragrant, and the drinks were just as good as the food. Great service and cozy vibe, I’ll definitely be back.

Authentic southern Thai food, must order the Kua Kling and Mataba and Moo Kho!! So delicious- its hard to find flavors like this in Seattle. Mataba roti with potatoes 100% recommend~ Not your basic Thai restaurant for sure!!!

Standing outside you’ll hear the authentic Thai music and see happy diners walking in. As you get inside, you’ll be welcomed by a smiling and enthusiastic staff. This southern Thai inspired restaurant is family run with the mom and sister being 2 of the chefs creating the dishes. The brother is the manager of this and 2 other restaurants that the 3 of them hop between. The food here is delicious and unique. If you like Pad Thai, this place has the southern style that is cooked with coconut milk and tamarind sauce! This is my new favorite pad Thai spot. I also highly recommend both the Karee puffs and the beef bhuna. They also offer a variety of drinks that pair well with the food. If you’re looking for a new favorite, I loved the umeshu and the mango mojito. The woodland park zoo is a walkable distance away so if you and your family are looking for an affordable and tasty spot, this is for you! 😁
