  I brought my two daughters here for dinner last night. They've never been here before. Simon and the staff were very friendly and helpful and seated us near the fish feature-my girls loved it!!
  
  We went for a kids chicken fried rice, kids chicken chow mein, Bangkok seafood (me), chips and curry sauce. We had complimentary prawn crackers and curry sauce to start and the girls loved these as they were warm, crispy and tasty.
  
  The kids dishes came out and I actually had to question whether they were kids or adults as the portion size was big!! They tucked into their meals and then mine arrived followed by chips and sauce. The food was superb, portion sizes amazing and service excellent. Definitely worth a trip to Glengormley for good, authentic, Chinese and Thai cuisine and all for £30!!!

  I visited here on a trip that I made a few months ago and absolutely loved the food. The owners are incredibly warm and it's clear they put a lot of love into their restaurant. The food is delicious and well prepared. The environment is clean and wonderful.

  The Royal Thai - bit of a misnomer this, as there doesn't seem to be anything regal about this place.
  
  Like a lot of buildings in Glengormley, it seems to be compulsory to let the exterior fall into a mess of disrepair.  It's not very attractive to say the least.
  
  Quite charming inside though - nicely lit, and the staff all look the part.  I had an awesome bowl of tom yum gai last time I was there...  Surely one of the world's greatest dishes.  I tend to turn into Captain Tomato Head any time I eat anything with chilli in it, and our waitress quite charmingly kept asking me if I was OK.  I then had scallops for my main course, which were as scallops should be...  lightly cooked and tender.   My wife certainly had no complaints with her courses either.
  
  You know, I would recommend this place.  They have very reasonable lunch deals on, and the food and service are faultless.  Please just ignore the minging exterior.

  After unsuccessfully hoking around in the fridge for some appetising tea a few nights ago, we decided we'd have to 'settle' for a Chinese (heaven forbid!) Now usually I order religiously from the Good Fortune (see review) but I decided to try somewhere different for a change. Friends had been to the sit in part of this restaurant last week and said they enjoyed their meal, so we thought we'd try it on their recommendation. Well, I won't be making that mistake again. I can't vouch for the restaurant, maybe they take more time and effort over preparing their dishes, but I was really let down by what I was served from the take away. We ordered; chicken with satay sauce (and a half & half) and the special chow mein. I'll give them their dues the chicken satay was quite nice (nothing special) but that's about where it ends. The chips weren't even worthy of being called chips, neither was the rice. My special chow mein, well, the noodles tasted like half cooked super noodles, the chicken part of the dish, ew, I don't even want to think about it; it was like a straggly, rubbery, gooey excuse for meat. Nasty. We ended up leaving most of our meals it was that bad. I'll know for again to stick to what I know!
  
  **Maybe I got an off night, which possibly could be the case given the previous reivews **

  I've eaten here many times, and I always enjoy the food. It doesn't look like much from the outside, it looks a little sad actually, but inside they actually have made quite an effort with the interior decor, with snazzy lighting, sparkly glass beaded curtains and a modern looking indoor fishpond...although the waterfall in it does make you feel the need to pee sometimes.
  
  I've had the honey chilli chicken here, the crispy chilli squid, and the duck pancakes...all lovely. The service is good too - a little hilarious though sometimes - the last time we went the waitress insisted on taking our orders without writing them down, which seemed madness to us as there was 25 of us! But she got them all perfect and the food arrived quickly. The honey chilli chicken that time was VERY hot - probably a bit much for some palates, but I loved it. Reasonable prices too. They also have a private room for hire with Karaoke. Never tried it, but it could be interesting...
