Royal Thai Restaurant, Birkenhead

We hadn't been to Royal Thai Restaurant in Hinemoa St, Birkenhead for several years and thought that we would give it a go this evening on the spur of the moment.

The last time we had been here we weren't overly impressed, however this time it was quite a different experience. The restaurant is still a bit sparse in terms of decor however there were a reasonable number of people dining this evening.

The menu was sufficiently large and had a variety of different Thai dishes. We started with the Tom Yum Goong and this was nicely spiced and enjoyable, and followed this with:

• Gang Pep Pip Yang (Duck with Red Curry, Bamboo Shoots and Peas),
• Nua Wine Dang (Red-wine Marinated beef in a sweet and sour sauce), and
• Pad Pak (Mixed Vegetables in Oyster sauce).

All the dishes were really good, and as bizarre as the beef sounds we would order it again. The meals all arrived in a timely manner and the staff were attentive and courteous.
