How 'bout ... Bangkok Royal

[ "How 'bout …" is the logical extension of our tagline "Where you wanna eat?" Because we've all been there when someone says "Where you wanna eat?" and then everyone stands around a little awkwardly until someone cautiously offers up "How 'bout …" and then the name of a restaurant. It's also a way for us to highlight the restaurants that we want to highlight. Here it goes. ]

Bangkok Royal is Waco's premiere Thai food restaurant offers top notch cuisine in an elegant setting ideal for anything from take out to a a casual lunch to formal celebratory dinners. Open since 2000, Bangkok Royal has established itself as one of the area's favorite restaurants of any kind.

It's great for … Just about anything from a casual lunch to a fancy dinner. You will be as comfortable in shorts and a T-shirt as you will in your dress-up clothes before a graduation. When you first dine at Bangkok Royal, you might think of it as semi-fine dining, but the more you go there, the more you'll see it as comfort food.

WacoFork folks say … "If I want anything asian influenced EVER, please go here. They have tofu if you don't like meat, their vegetables are always fresh, the fried eggrolls are supreme, their peanut sauce is delectable, and they give you drinks in goblets. GOBLETS, I say" -- mghamma

We recommend … Tom Yum Goong as a starter and Panang Curry as an entree.

If you're on a budget … The Pad Thai is delicious and filling. Order it for $8.95, eat a quarter of it and take home the rest for two or three more meals.
