Roy Southern Thai Cuisine Phinney

We love this place. Every dish we’ve had has been super flavorful! We’ve been here multiple times in the last few months and the quality and service are consistent. We’ve also been bringing our newborn and haven’t had any issues. The only issue I have is their pricing: it’s notably more expensive than other Thai restaurants. HOWEVER, it’s also better than most other Thai restaurants around.

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!

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!
