“ We ordered take-out: Pad Grapow Moo Krop (top left) Crab Noodle Curry (top right) Ika Maruyaki & Hand-Roll Hawaii (bottom) Everything was delicious! We chose the “hot” spice level for both the Pad Grapow Moo Krop and Crab Noodle Curry, but it didn’t feel spicy to us—next time we’ll probably go for Thai Hot. ”
“ Love Aroi!! The food is so flavorful & the presentation is beautiful. Our server was very attentive & knowledgeable of the the ingredients and preparation of the dishes. This was our 1st visit & can’t wait to go back. ”
“ Very delicious sushi. Quality ingredients and a little pricey but all relative. Miso ramen was delicious but had a weird smell. ”
“ This newly opened spot was a hit with my parents! The Thai-Japanese fusion menu offers some great options. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and buttery, which was a highlight. My mom had the California hand roll and really enjoyed it. For me, the Pad Thai is always the real test of a Thai place, and this one nailed it—it was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and sour. My dad preferred the grilled squid over the fried version, but both were delicious. The unagi don is ideal for those who love a sweeter teriyaki-style rice dish. I’d skip the fresh oysters, though, as the sashimi is a much better choice. Overall, it’s definitely worth checking out on a night out. ”
“ This was my first time eating at Aroi and it was absolutely delicious. The spring rolls were fresh and hot, their wings were super spicy and goid, and the sushi roll I ordered filled me up; I didn't even finish! The next trip I take I'll try other things on the menu that looked delicious. My sake was good and so was the sangria. 10/10! ”
“ This place was so amazing, especially because of their customer service. The ambiance was calming with a simple elegance. The food was excellent. My husband and I are totally plant based, and our waitress Chi was AWESOME. She took time to let us know the foods that had fish sauce in it as well as oyster sauce, and she detailed for us the foods that were completely plant based, vegan, to include the sauces. What an exceptionally delightful experience. ”
“ This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is very delicious. Chai our waiter service is fantastic. Definitely recommend if you’re in town. Best Thai food hands down!! ”
“ If I could give this place 1000 stars I would. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful from the walls to the decor the bar absolutely everywhere you look is gorgeous. Now the food gets 1 million stars every bite of everything I have tried is absolutely delicious and so flavorful. They have the best Basil fried rice I have ever had hands down wonderful. The drinks are fresh and delicious. Now the owners are absolutely out of this world. They are the sweetest most genuine souls I have ever met we consider them family. If you have not checked out this place you should definitely come.. ”
