Honestly, this was such bad service for a place that seems to have decent reviews on google (which is why we went in the first place). The papaya salad was flavour-less and the pad thai had no tamarind flavour and was clearly made with ketchup. Perhaps someone who has never been to Thailand or had authentic Thai food might enjoy this kind of non-Thai food. The server (who also seems to be the owner) was constantly rushing us, seemed a bit racist and incredibly rude, with her gestures and also made us leave early without letting us finish our food.And on top of that, when I didn’t feel like I wanted to pay a hefty tip she was expecting me to pay for bad service and food, she yelled at us “Never come back here again”. Such entitled behaviour for a place that serves below average food. Rest assured, I’m making sure none of my friends or colleagues come here either.

Sure, your curries are decent, but I leave this review solely for advice on your pad thai: you need to increase the seasonings in your pad thai brother.

I have had both dine in and takeout from Aroi and it has been excellent every time. Don't hesitate to give them a try!

Love Thai food and sushi, although both aren't usually done together. This place was not crowded on a Friday night. I ordered a simple green curry but the vegetables were cut large and undercooked which is a huge sign of laziness. Would not recommend.

Quick review on their takeout only. Have not tried in restaurant dining yet.I was in the shopping complex visiting the UPS store, saw this restaurant and decided to stop in since I was in the mood for some Chinese. My go to staple when trying a new Chinese restaurant out is Mongolian beef, so that's what I ordered, I ordered with extra green onions and extra sauce. I also ordered the white rice instead of the fried rice. And that' was probably my first mistake. The white rice was - what's the word I'm looking for - over cooked - and clumped together like the takeout white rice from Panda Express. And while the Mongolian beef did come out with extra green onions (legitimately green onions because some places will try to substitute chopped white onions and I will immediately return the dish if I get that), I didn't find the sauce to be that satisfying, visually or taste wise. It tasted a little too salty versus the touch of sweetness that I'm used to in this dish. Unfortunately, when I entered the restaurant, the manager was sitting at the sushi bar by himself, and the rest of the restaurant was empty so it probably wasn't the best time to try them out. I'll hold out my final review until I actually try a dinner entrée and some sushi but I have to admit, the takeout was not that impressive.

New to the area, and was eager to find a local Thai spot. Had the pad se ew and crab fried rice delivered, and boy was it delicious. Not too fishy on the crab, which I certainly appreciated. Will easily be ordering from this place again. Thank you!

Serving great sushi and other authentic Asian dishes this is a great neighborhood spot with fresh seafood and great prices. They have a full menu featuring noodle dishes, Thai, Indian, and an assortment of sushi and fresh seafood. The service was great we didn't have to wait to long for our food and they have a full bar menu as well. They also have lunch specials. This is a great local spot to get some fresh seafood and I can't wait to go back to try some other items on their menu.

Since covid, this business has unfortunately declined. A lot of the dishes they were known for have been removed from the menu like the red curty duck. The sushi rolls seemed to have also gotten smaller in quantity. I live in the neighborhood and this place used to be all the rave and now it's the opposite sadly.
