Attention, Single Ladies!

If you’re in Chelsea looking for some quiet dining, Royal Siam Thai is a great choice. I have dined there on my own, with business associates, and with friends.

What makes this Thai restaurant better than the dozen other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood?

First: The interiors are exotic and relaxing. It might even make you envision that this is what you might find in a café in Siam.



 
Second: $9.95 dinner price!

We ordered the Pad Ma Kuur, which is sautéed eggplant with garlic, chili peppers, and fresh basil in soybean sauce.

 
And also the basil chicken.

 
It came with large cones of rice.

 
Third: 2-for-1 drinks! I had the Stephen Vincent Cabernet Sauvignon from California ($8). It was a pretty decent Cabernet for the price; smooth finish with no aftertaste. My friend had first tried the Ique Malbec from Argentina ($7), but it was a bit too sour so she switched to the Cabernet as well for her second drink.

 
Final Thoughts
Great low-key dining experience.
