I have eaten here several times. Food is great, place is clean, fair prices. The comments by our newest user make me long for the old thumbs down button.
I would just like to add my comments as I've been to Phuket Royale many many times and have nothing but good things to say about their Thai dishes. Without getting into whether they are "authentic" or not as I've never been to Thailand, what I can say is that their dishes compare favourably to many of the other Thai restaurants in Ottawa and everyone that I have brought there has enjoyed it as well. And I've always had friendly service. I think they are a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
Ate Vermicelli bowl there last night. Horrific. Chicken looked like some unauthorized meat. Could have been pigeon as far as I am concerned. Service was aloof. No repeat customer here. Just go next to door to "So Good". I gave it a try.
Went last night and had veggie spring rolls, chicken satay, Red Curry with Shrimp and Pineapple, and Pad Thai. Quick efficient service, nice atmosphere. The veggie spring rolls were a bit boring. Chicken satay was very good. We also enjoyed the Pad Thai but the Red Curry was the standout. Wonderful complex flavour with a nice amount of heat. In both dishes the shrimp were particularly good.
We will be back for sure.
I had the roast duck lunch special. It was good and the portion of duck was generous. It came with a soup, some rice, and a side dipping sauce. I recommend it.
I ordered the yellow curry lunch special once, recently, and loved it. It was satisfyingly saucy and had a good mix of chicken and vegetables with a side of rice.
