Lots of gluten free options

We were looking for a low-priced to have dinner on King St. W (how crazy...) and came across this place. From the outside, you wouldn't think that it'd have a pleasant looking decor, but it does. Ordered the fried rice in pineapple and had tastes of my other friend's dishes. It is pretty decent Thai. The service is good - our waiter was attentive, nice, and most importantly, speedy.

Doable Thai

Was quite impressed by the breadth of the menu; not so impressed with the speed or quality of service. While waiting 10 minutes at the table for my friend to arrive, the server did not once offer me a glass of water or take a drink order. Service was slow throughout the night; we had to flag them down to refill our glasses or clear the table. At one point there was a slight mix up and the server brought us two Thai iced teas instead of just the one we actually ordered. Instead of doing the obvious (i.e. taking the second drink back), the server kept insisting that we really did order both. We didn't particularly care to argue or be wasteful so we kept both drinks. However, I don't agree with being made to pay for what we never even ordered in addition to being given a hard time about it. That incident alone, however small, was enough for me to put this restaurant on my blacklist... if only the food wasn't so good. But alas - there aren't enough Thai restaurants in this city that do fish cakes and do it well. So I guess they win this round.

great food, decent service. Could do with better music and a little more vibrance !! But great date / romantic dinner place

The food was very good. I enjoyed it so much. But the service is slow. It's better to make reservation and avoid going there on Friday noon. One time, I waited 30 minutes for my soup noodle. Normally, it takes 10 - 15 minutes. And the waitress doesn't look very happy.

Excellent food and the service was prompt. Prior problems noted below seem to have been resolved. I will go back again soon.

I saw the last comment on the service at Thai Princess. The manager that that customer was speaking about is no longer there and since his departure, it has been wonderful service. They are a bit slow during really busy times (which is almost every time I've been there) but they always let you know how long it will take as they walk by. The food there is really worth the wait so be prepared! I would definitely recomend the restaurant as I have in the past.

Very disappointed -- I used to visit this restaurant often, and have even recommended it to others. But on this visit the service was extremely slow (and it was never fast to begin with). When others in my party complained (it took 45 minutes for us to be served at lunch, and we only had one hour) and asked to speak with the manager, the server told us the manager "did not want to speak with us." She even admitted recognizing us when we told her we visit the restaurant often! She said the manager said that if we chose not to come back, that would be okay. I have not been back and refuse to go. Although the food is great, the service is horrible, and the management's attitude is even worse.

I have gone to Thai Princess a few times with my friends and have always enjoyed the food. it is the kind of food that encourages cravings a few days later. I have primarily stuck to the red curry dishes, but my friends have also enjoyed their vegetarian and chicken dishes.

I've been to the Thai Princess many times and every time it's a pleasant experience. They're always packed during lunch hours, and sometimes at dinnertime too. The Basil chicken (ordered with the hot n' spicy soup - good) was very tasty and my usual order of Grilled Chicken (noodle dish) was very good. The food didn't take that long to arrive, the service was friendly and the food delicious. One of the best Thai places I've been to!
