It was our first time here, and we ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup and the shrimp spring rolls to share. Oh my goodness, everything was so delicious! The broth in the Tom Yum soup was incredibly flavorful with the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and spicy flavors. If I ordered it again, I would probably choose shrimp instead of chicken because I think the shrimp would complement the broth even better and bring out the flavors more. That said, the chicken was still tasty, and we both really enjoyed it. The shrimp spring rolls were also amazing, but the real star for me was the peanut sauce. It was so good that I had to order an extra side because I kept adding more and more to every bite. The customer service was excellent as well. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The atmosphere is great whether you're grabbing a casual meal, meeting up with friends, or having a date night. They also offer lunch specials, which looked like a great value, but we were in the mood for soup this time. The portions were generous, and everything was reasonably priced. We're definitely coming back because those sweet garlic chicken wings are calling our names! I can't wait to return and bring the rest of my family to try this place too. Highly recommend! read more

The food is good but nothing to rave about.vl It is definitely overpriced for the small amount of food you get. The restaurant is nice enough on the interior. It's well decorated and clean. The problem I have is that each time I've been here to eat I've felt uncomfortable due to the fact that they have all kinds of strange limitations. They make you feel like you've done something wrong just by asking questions about the menu. The lunch portions are actually quite scant and leave you hungry. There aren't many restaurants that make me actually not want to go back because of how uncomfortable I feel while in that restaurant or how they treat their patrons. This is actually one of those restaurants that I wouldn't care if I ever went back to. I gave them three stars because their food is passable and because I feel sorry for the servers that have to work there. read more

Personally, I've had better Thai food for a lot cheaper than what Aiyara charges. Very elegant restaurant with luxurious decor (full of elephant statues!). But I thought it was ridiculous to be up charged $3 for making my dish vegetarian/vegan (does not even say it is extra to make it veggie on the menu - had to tell server that I was vegan and that's when she told me). I paid $22 for a pad kee mao plus the $3 on top of that!! Portion was small, and average-tasting: noodles were chewy, but the flavor was lacking. I personally love a good pad kee mao with some char but everything was very one note. Will not be returning again, but it was an interesting experience read more

Our server was terrific! My friends mom wanted a special Thai drink (like a limeade with salt) that wasn't on the menu, and she went and made it! The dishes all came up quickly and were absolutely delicious...I see why they are named the best Thai food in Temecula! Loved the fountain too. Full bar , lunch and dinner, and lots of seating, with the NICEST staff! read more

If you're looking for a restaurant that feels luxurious and impressive but doesn't have exorbitant prices, this is your place. When me and my family walked in we were floored there's a large fountain in the middle of the restaurant, carved elephant chairs, and a carved marble scene of elephants. We went during lunchtime and each of our dishes was between 18 and 26 dollars. The standout was the khao soi, but the Tom Kha and massaman curry were also delicious. Most of the dishes were light on salt though, so I added fish sauce. We got four dishes between the six of us. The staff was also incredibly accommodating. My grandma was asking to see if they had a Thai beverage, and although they didn't the woman behind the bar went out of her way to make it for us. She was very kind and made our experience welcoming and nice. read more

I will definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Have come here before and order the same dish khao soi, was disappointed this time. The presentation was totally different from the last time and sauce was less and chicken was hard , overcooked. As a suggestion they should switch to boneless thigh meat for this dish. Chicken legs are too hard to eat . read more

I don't know why I haven't reviewed this place before I come here often for lunch with my friends. We love the lunch specials. I want to highlight my last visit . I am so sorry I didn't catch the name of the host, but we were greeted at the door, seated quickly and asked about our drink selections. I had a friend with me who had never been there before .she needed some time to look over the menu, our host made a few suggestions and eventually she settled on a broccoli dish. I order of my favorite chicken and broccoli dish . V lunch special comes with a lovely soup. It also comes with a carrot. Salad with peanut dressing. Dressing is mild and not overwhelming. I'd love to get the recipe! All the food was presented well. it was hot and it was tasty. I've also had several of yummy curries specifically, the red and green. They are also amazing! we ordered beverages and our glasses were never empty. The staff came around to give us a refills often .my friend and I haven't seen each other in a while so we were catching up. We actually stayed in about 45 minutes after we finished our lunch and we never felt like we had to leave or that we were rushed as I said I love this place and I'll be back probably next week! read more

Service- you show up at 8pm, they take a while to come take your drink order, when they decide to stop chatting and finally come over the first thing your waitress tells you is I need to take your food order kitchen closes in 10min. Mind you they close at 9, we're a party of 5 ready to eat and drink to celebrate my mom's birthday. We put in our drinks and app, she comes back to take the order... We politely ask if we put our food order in will we have time to eat and enjoy our dinner or will be rushed? She had the audacity to say well you need to put your food order in NOW and we close at 9 so yeah. Are you kidding me?! Will not be coming to this place again. It's a birthday dinner for a party of 5 of adults who wanted a cocktail and some delicious food. $300ish gone. Made me soo mad I went through the steps to get a yelp account, and write this review while STILL in the restaurant. read more

My family and I have been regular customers here for over two years now... This was actually one of our favorite Thai restaurants and we would suggest it to everyone! It has been such a bummer because apparently it is under new ownership and now it seems like the prices just keep raising and the portions keep getting lesser. My soup was close to $30, and it was barely anything. When I addressed it with the stuff, they said there was nothing they could do. It's just sad that prices keep going up and the quality keeps going down. read more

My wife and I enjoy eating Thai food and we've been loyal to a very good place in Fullerton but when we went to this place we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious this place was! The restaurant is so nice and high quality feeling. I ordered the duck curry and I was shocked at how much duck they gave me! It was basically the whole duck minus the head. I had so much food to take home and eat the next day! I highly recommend this place if you enjoy Thai food. read more

We took our clients here after showing them some property around Temecula and Murrieta. Lots of people that come here from LA and the OC are surprised that we have good Asian food here... A lot of people still think we live in the desert when they hear Temecula. I'm trying my best to promote our beautiful city of Temecula as a real estate agent. I love the food, the city and the people here. It's a very safe and great quality of life here in Temecula... I love their purple rice with curry and the crab fried rice never disappoints! The staff is always friendly and it does get busy during dinner time so please be patient. I saw another table ordering the Tom Yum Shrimp Fried rice and it's looked really good so I'll try that next time... They also have a nice selection of lunch specials. The ambiance is quite beautiful. Rock on Aiyara Thai Cuisine! Sawadee ca!! read more

Had lunch here today, Feb. 18th. We ordered Pad Thai and pork in red curry. With so many choices to choose from I asked Amy our waitress that I was undecided what to order so I said " tell the chef to make me his favorite lunch item, I was rewarded with a delicious red curry entree. My wife's Pad Thai was fantastic, authentic and well seasoned in the Thai manner. I told Amy our waitress that the food was so good that the chef could stay another week! (lol)The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a beautiful fountain in the dining room. The food and service were par excellence.Probably the best food in the county! read more

This is what is referred to as luxury tie. Thai food that brings you to a state of happiness and makes you feel like 1 million bucks. We did a to go order for seven people and we also placed our own order inside because we wanted to experience how nice it was. Yes the bill was extremely hefty and it was completely expected and according to my family who ate the food when we got home it was the best Thai food they have ever had and they are international traveling foodies. The service inside was really nice it was not busy which was very surprising to me but everyone was extremely attentive. Clean bathrooms, clean dining area I have zero complaints. read more

Aiyara Thai Cuisine - Pineapple fried rice - Thai Near Me - Temecula, California

This is a nice restaurant. The food is good. It's overpriced for Thai food though. I should have known when "cuisine" is on the sign. The high prices are for the ambiance. The drunken noodles was ok, too expensive, and average. My favorite was the mango and sticky rice. The yellow curry was good. The staff is nice, but the service is slow. They need to have a better system in place. I noticed other patrons were waiting for service like us. The minimum asking tip starts at 20%. I thought that was ridiculous. Most likely won't be back since you can get the same quality of Thai food for half the price and expeditious service somewhere else. read more

This is a very nice Thai Restaurant. The restaurant is clean and presentable. The presentation and taste of the food was excellent! I highly recommend the Grilled Pork Thai Style with Sticky Rice and I'd pair it with the papaya salad. It was absolutely delicious! We all enjoyed our food! The server was also very patient and friendly. The cost was on the higher end compared to other Thai restaurants, but I feel it was worth it. We weren't disappointed with anything we ordered. I'd come here again to try more of their dishes. read more

Simply the best Thai in Temecula Valley. Authentic taste with exceptional service and ambiance. Pleasant experience as always.

This place was nicely decorated... however, from the outside and location, you would not think that the items on the menu are "fine dining" prices. The lady server was not helpful at all and didn't allow us to make certain little modifications to the dishes and so unfortunately, we had to find another spot around the area. read more

Pretty decent thai food for Temecula but lacking a lot of spicier options. I've had better for cheaper in the San Diego area. Mainly leaving this review because the service was poor. Not friendly at all and they ignored us a couple times. Waitress also stood silently at our table without greeting us when she first took our order. I've worked in food/customer service before as well so I get it, but staff seemed generally rude. Towards the end I went up to the check-out area to add a dessert and close out the check but whoever was working that area made me feel like a nuisance for asking. Very cold staff. We mentioned a birthday too but they didn't do anything while another table had a free dessert/song. Just seemed odd for us to mention it and not get equal treatment. Food is okay for what it is (and expensive). read more

Since my first review we have probably been to Aiyara about 6 times and we will keep coming back! Last night I was in the mood for a cocktail so I asked our server what she would recommend. She brought me a Sabai Sabai which is not on the drink menu. I told her I wanted something that tastes "Like Thailand." The drink has spiced Rum, soda, simple syrup, Thai basil and is served with ice. Very welcoming, relaxing bev! Five stars for the special drink! My wife ordered Pineapple Rice with chicken and I had the Mixed Veg stir fry with chicken. The Pineapple rice did not disappoint! Wow. So nice and with chunks of Pineapple, raisins and a nice dark sauce mixed in. The stir fry was light and just what I needed on a warm Summer evening. We also had Chicken Gyoza for the appetizer. There were 6 pan fried dumplings and they were so good we should have gotten two orders! Love this place. read more

We highly recommend you check this place out! The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. We had Thai beef salad very good and the traditional Pad Thai which was also good. We definitely will be back to try out other Thai dishes. read more

Today I ordered - my usual- the pad woon sen and pad Thai. This is one of my fav Thai spots in Temecula. It usually doesn't disappoint, is conveniently located near the mall and the inside is beautiful. Great ambience for a date or special occasion. My small gripe is that when I order my dishes with fried tofu here, it doesn't taste like it's cooked with the rest of the dish. Perhaps it is but it just doesn't seem to carry the flavor like it is. Simply put, sometimes the tofu and the dish entirely can be missing the flavors and seasoning I'm used to. Small thing maybe, but something that keeps it from being my top Thai spot to go. As nice as it is here, I've rarely dined in. Mostly because the mall and everything else around here, I'm usually trying to do a bunch of stuff and grab my food before leaving the area. read more

Amy was wonderful. She made our experience enjoyable. The atmosphere is serene. The food is delicious. The seasonings used on the food we ate was all seasoned just right. We will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. I didn't take pictures this time however, if you go and try the food, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more
