" Had a disappointing experience at Real Thai Kitchen. The wait time for the food was longer than expected, and although it was crowded, I felt my order was overlooked. The food itself was good when it finally arrived, but it lacked the vitality I expected from a fresh Thai meal. I'll give it another shot in the future to see if they improve their timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in the heart of the city! I absolutely loved the pad thai and their mango sticky rice is to die for. Service was friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Going back for sure with friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" We gathered a group of friends for an evening out and decided to head to this quaint Thai restaurant. The ambiance was pleasant, but what truly stood out was the food. I ordered the Larb and Pad See Ew, and honestly, it was some of the best I’ve had! There was a perfect balance of flavors, and both dishes were adequately spicy. The portion sizes were also satisfying. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out. I’ll be definitely bringing more friends on future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I went in expecting a lot based on glowing recommendations, but my experience was a mixed bag. The spring rolls were excellent, but the main dish fell short. The curry was watery and lacked the depth of flavor I anticipated. Service was decent but not overly attentive. I might try again to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Real Thai Kitchen last weekend and was blown away by the authentic flavors in their dishes. The green curry was rich and creamy, and they were generous with the tofu. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a perfect spot for dinner with friends. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations, but I wasn’t impressed. While the ambiance was pleasant, the food didn’t really wow me. My wife enjoyed her red curry more than I enjoyed my pad thai, which was a bit bland. The staff was friendly but overwhelmed. Perhaps the kitchen was just having an off day? " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Real Thai Kitchen and was very impressed with their quality of food and service! I ordered the Pad Thai and the chicken satay, and both were delicious. The portions were ample and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as patrons savored their meals. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for true Thai flavors in a lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)
