Thai Garden – Royal Thai Cuisine

Step into a space where Thai culture comes alive through stunning interior decor that captures the spirit of Thailand. The flavors here are truly unforgettable—each dish bursts with deliciousness and generous portions. The fried prawns, paired perfectly with fluffy white rice. The fried chicken, spring onions, and papaya salad all delivered vibrant flavors that satisfied our cravings. We wrapped up our meal with a cappuccino so frothy and velvety that it felt like a luxurious treat—truly the creamiest, most perfect cup I've ever enjoyed.

This place was so good that it makes me wonder if I should rethink other 5-star reviews I’ve given. It really could not have been better, from the food quality to the service to the ambiance. We like spicy traditional Thai flavor and asked for that, and our server said they can do the dishes in Thai style. We got two spicy dishes (3 stars on the menu indicating spice level), the filet strips and the chicken curry, and they were out of this world. They had good spice but did not overwhelm the flavors at all, and two entrees was more than enough for the two of us. We did not get appetizers. If we are ever back in Lucerne, this will be the first place we go.

Royal Thai exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely authentic especially various sauces and chutneys with rich flavors and perfect spice levels. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming and the staff were attentive and friendly. A must-visit for anyone who loves Thai cuisine.

Great food and ambience. We had vegetarian food (no egg, no meat, no seafood) and was awesome taste…in addition attentive food staff and bartender. *Price for certain dishes are overpriced, but it’s up to you to visit or ignore and visit other Thai restaurants in town, we had only limited days so couldn’t explore much.

This restaurant is worth visiting if only for the decor: it is in a sumptuous space with a grand staircase with beautiful authentic statutory from Thailand. The service was as one would expect in Thailand… Beautiful and gentle. Food was delicious.

This restaurant's location was quite hidden. I almost went to another Thai place by mistake. Impressive interior design, excellent service and delectable food. The steamed seabass was phenomenal. Tom Kha Gai was one of the best. Highly recommend.

What a hidden gem in the center of Luzern! It might not seem much when you see the front door but once you are in it feels like walking in to a thai garden! Very cozy and romantic setting. Food was great, my wife had the prawns and myself the pad thai, both would be recommended. Very nice portions! Staff was very friendly (always with that Thai smile) and accommodating! We were there celebrating an anniversary and they even went out of their way to write it on the plate for dessert. Had a lovely laid back and romantic evening here, would recommend!

Absolutely amazing , the quality of food , service , taste everything is perfect and impeccable. Best Thai food I ever had outside Thailand. The interior and atmosphere will teleport you to Thailand. The lady playing Thai Xylophone is awesome. Highly recommended.

The best Thai food I have ever had! The spring rolls & the pad Thai were so delicious. Highly highly recommend coming here!!

We were so excited when we learned about the restaurant on google map, and the so disappointed about the food quality. Nothing seems right! I am from Asia and I have been around the world, I tasted the authentic thai food in Thailand, and I know the food offered here is lacking so many things. The yum woon sen, salty and sour and that was it. This dish needs a hint of sweetness. 2/5 This is supposed to be spicy but not at all. The tom kha gai, too much coconut milk, and the chicken is over-cooked. I could not swallow the chicken. 2/5 The pad thai main dish is the worst. It tasted bland, noodles were over-cooked, broken. There was no cashew. 0/5 we abandoned the whole dish. Thai cocktail 0/5. Mix of syrup and ice with a few pieces of fruits. This tastes like water. Shrimp rolls. Since I can make this at home, it is an okay dish, and i would "envy" who cant make this right lolz. Overall, this restaurant is the worst one I had during my two weeks trip in Switzerland. And the worst Thai food restaurant I have ever had in my life.

One of the neatest restaurants we've ever been to! The ambiance is second to none, and the authenticity of a Thai restaurant in Switzerland was so unexpected! The pad thai was incredible, quite possibly the best I've ever had. My husband had one of the curry dishes and loved it. They bring out more rice to serve you if/when you run out. The portions are big! They have a nice wine menu as well. This is a place we'd dine at again if we find ourselves in Lucerne again.

Fun ambience reminiscent of Thailand. Food was surprisingly good and high quality. Service was also attentive. Nice change from typical Swiss fare.

Yellow curry was by far the best I have ever had!! Pad Thai was just ok... unique presentation and ambience made up for it!

While the food was fine, there was a shard of glass in the sauces they gave for the appetizer. When I gave it to the waitress, they told me it was was a chip from the plate that somehow made it into the sauces. They gave me a glass of Prosecco but that didn't really make up for it at 103 CHF per person for the meal.

Truly a fantastic restaurant. We went based on the reviews. Because of the unusual heat and it being midweek, we were there almost alone. We did the Siam Tasting Menu and it was superb. Has all the usual suspects but done with spectacular pizazz and flair. From egg rolls to satay to tiger prawns, the starters were great! The soups were too die for. I seriously would return for the coconut chicken soup all by itself! The main dishes were also outstanding and truly enjoyed the chicken in banana leaves the most. There was a dish that was basically sweet and sour chicken which was just average and didn't seem up to par with the rest of the menu. Couldn't have been happier with the service and the over the top posh atmosphere. The service was spectacular. There was a traditional Thai musician and she was simply lovely and created perfect ambiance. Cheers to the entire team for creating a wonderful surprising experience in the middle of Lucerne! Pro tip: there is another Asian theme restaurant street-side called MeKong I believe. This is NOT the restaurant you want. You have to go to the side of the building and want a non-descript door.

Don't let the facade fool you. One can walk past the restaurant and not know it. The food is pricy but excellent. We had Tom yum soup, pad Thai, Thai curry, chicken satay, vegetable spring rolls. The portion of the chicken satay and the vegetable spring rolls were generous. The pad Thai came with an interesting touch. The noodles were cooked in an omelette. While the satay tasted good the noodles were thin and there were no peanuts. The service was outstanding and so was the ambience of the restaurant. Overall a 4.5 stars.

Ambiance is fantastic! I would definitely recommend making a reservation if you're going Friday or Saturday evening (you can do it online). It's part of the Hotel Astoria and is a Michelin Star restaurant. We were luckily able to make same day reservations for Friday night but the following evening was booked pretty solid. Food presentation is beautiful! Not only delicious but beautifully presented. Tom Ka Gai is unlike any I've had before. It's very creamy and velvety. The lemongrass balance is perfection. We were able to make a substitution for the Gaeng Curry Nuea (masaman yellow curry) from beef to chicken. This dish was HEAVEN! Having had a little bite, we all wished this was our entree. We also had a Panaeng Nuea Prig Thai Oon (red curry) and a minced beef dish with basil but I forgot the name. All entrees are served with a hot plate to keep it warm and steamed rice is included. Service was excellent! Good teamwork from the staff. We loved the hot towels provided after dinner. The aroma was delightfully floral and refreshing. The perfect way to complete a meal (although I advised my family not to get to use to that treatment). We will 100% be back on our next trip to Lucerne :)

There are good Thai restaurants, very good Thai restaurants, and there is the Thai Garden. What an amazing moment for my boyfriend's birthday. The service was just perfect, so were the meals. The ambiance makes you feel like traveling to Asia... do not hesitate to book a table in this restaurant. You will definitely love it!

Thai Garden was a great way to spend our last night in Switzerland. The staff is so courteous and the food was amazing!! We ordered the family meal for three and we are stuffed. Our waitress was magnificent, her suggestions were spot on. Definitely a place to try when you are visiting!!

I don't know where to begin. The entrance to this restaurant is magical, the ambiance is just perfect, real candle lights at every table, a tuk-tuk for decor, Palace looking pillars, low music playing in the background with water crashing making it sound relaxing and soothing. Then the pad Thai was to die for. Added chicken with dried chili #58. Fast service, friendly hosts, numerous people helping you with food and drinks. Great restaurant. Definitely worth the price

Really good service. I liked the ambience...the food was awesome. Located right in the city center close to the Renaissance hotel.

Beautiful restaurant and music, delicious food. Great service. Hit all the right notes with us after a tiring day. Strongly recommend.

A friend of ours celebrated his birthday in this restaurant. The service was very attentive. The food was good, can't say if it was worth 15 Gault-Millau points. The setting is very posh, which takes you by surprise, entering the unremarkable entrance.
