Sister restaurant to Basil and Co...just as delicious without a super long wait! I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience here! The interior is beautiful and such a well decorated restaurant. The food is also top notch. We got the crispy tofu to start. Tofu was so crispy on the outside yet so soft on the inside. The sweet chili sauce stole the show as well. So good. We got a tofu pad thai and an eggplant basil with soft tofu. The eggplant basil doesn't come with rice, so you have to order that separately. Both were soooo good. Price was a teensy bit higher than other places around, but this was totally worth it. Quantity and quality checked off! read more

This was our first time here, and it did not disappoint, quite possibly the best Thai food we've ever had! The restaurant is beautiful and has such a great vibe. Our server, Howard, was fast, efficient, friendly, and gave us excellent customer service from start to finish. The food came out quickly, which we really appreciated, we have young kids, and patience is not exactly their strong suit! Everything arrived fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day for takeout. Thank you for the amazing food and wonderful service, we'll definitely be regulars! read more

Ari's Thai Eatery - Thai Near Me - Azusa, California

When you step into Ari's you forget you are in Glendora, since this is a college town, with fast food row with every single franchise you can think of shoulder to shoulder down one long block that goes on for approximately a short mile. But the amazing thing is a hidden find, Ari's a sophisticated Thai restaurant whose ambiance and beautifully decorated walls welcomes you. It's refreshing to find an extensive menu and wonderful flavorful dining options. We had Tom Yum soup for the first time ordered it mild, but you can also request spicy as well. We had calamari, chicken satay, Rad Na and hot basil chicken. It was quite a lot of food for three of us and we took home quite a bit! Food delicious service always excellent! It's best said in pictures read more

Everything came out fast and service was friendly. Parking is also easy read more

After bookmarking Ari's Thai Eatery, I wanted to give it a try since I was craving Thai food. I ordered via phone and was advised it would take about 20 minutes for the order to be ready. I got there around 5 pm and it wasn't too busy at the time. The parking lot is shared with other businesses and was moderately full at the time. For the pickup, food was ready by the time I got there. There was a small hiccup with the payment system but only took a few minutes to resolve. Utensils and sauces were available at the front counter. American Express is accepted as an option. Pad Thai - This was pretty good and leaned towards the sweet side. They included a lime, which helped balanced the flavors. I got the dish with fried tofu in hopes of complementing the next dish. Crying Tiger - This order came with a papaya salad, which I acknowledged over the phone. Unfortunately this was a huge miss. I asked to prepare it as medium rare but some pieces were completely raw. I needed to microwave this at home to ensure it was cooked through further. The flavor itself was also just okay. The worst part was that the entire dish was not cut at all; I needed to do that myself. This was a huge letdown especially considering the price of the order. Papaya Salad - This was a very small ratio and not well seasoned. I asked for mild but I guess that meant not being seasoned. OverallI could only recommend the Pad Thai at this time. read more

Found this place which opened only last April 2026. The open concept of the dining area is very inviting. Only a small place but they have several tables. They even have a bar seating area. They have authentic Thai food menu. The servers are also very welcoming. They have TV on one wall which is also good for those who would like to watch sports while eating. At this moment we just ordered but have not tasted the food. I will update my review after eating lunch. Just for the place and service quality, I will give them 4.7. Above average to a the typical Thai restaurant here in San Gabriel Valley area. UPDATE: We just finished our lunch and I would say, the green curry is full of flavor and with just the right amount of spiciness. The Garlic pepper with crispy pork is also flavorful. Our server, Howard, was very nice. I would give this experience with 4.8, added point for the food quality. read more

Love the feel of this place. It's kinda upscale homey. I wish the service was the same. I didn't get that personal experience or helpful vibe. A lot of workers but no personalization for our group. We had four people. No suggestions were made even though it was our first time here. Food was very good, although very pricey: Pad See Ew ($18) Panang Curry ($18) Crispy Soft Shelled Crab - 2 ($31) House Fried Rice ($18) Mango Sticky Rice ($15) Tasty and satisfying but a bit overpriced for me since the food was good and not that fancy. I'm not sure what I'm paying for because the service should be better at these prices. Ample parking. read more

I got a chance to return to Ari's Thai Eatery for dine-in to enjoy a lovely lunch in celebration of my dear friend's birthday. Happy Birthday, my friend! The day before, I called the restaurant to make reservations. I spoke with a nice lady who booked us a table at 11:30 AM for a party of 6 people. We were the first customers to be here shortly after they opened on a Saturday late morning. What a nice surprise! They had a Happy Birthday sign on the wall. Perfect for the occasion! Thank you. Plenty of inside dining space. Ambiance was lovely, warm, and cozy. Decor was simple with a touch of elegance. Love the soft yellow lighting... quite romantic actually! Wonderful place to bring family and friends or a date. Solo dining is good, too. We ordered a variety of dishes from salad to jerky to curry to noodles to rice. You name it, we covered it. I also got one Thai Iced Tea which was very delightful and not overly sweet. Appetizer: * Papaya Salad with shrimp - very fresh and crisp papaya mixed with huge shrimps in perfectly marinated lime juice, YUM says it all! * Chicken Jerky - tender and moist chicken, love the off orange color * Pork Jerky - amazing flavor with the right amount of fry on the outside, delish, my daughters would love this dish Main Dish: * Curry with duck - delicacy wins a WOW! Surprisingly good. * Pad Sewe with chicken - tasty chicken immersed in the BEST soft tender flat wide rice noodles that I've ever had, another winner for my daughters! * Pad Woon Sen with seafood - this was my top dish of the day, it showcased great wok flavor and tons of seafood which I love, must get every time! * Pineapple Fried Rice - this was good, but nothing that says WOW though All appetizers and main dishes were amazingly tasty and flavorful. Portions were big. I have nothing, but good things to say about all of the dishes. I would order everything again. Our server was pleasant and offered very good service. She was attentive and took good care of us throughout our meal. Thank you Miss! Highly recommend Ari's Thai Eatery! I'll be back with my Mom, my brothers + their families, and my daughters for more delicious Thai foods and amazing service in a lovely ambiance. What elevated our dining experience was one, our server asked if we wanted our cake to be placed in the frig while we're eating and two, they brought out a cake table along with the cake. So very thoughtful for the occasion. I love it! Thank you Ari's for the extra special attention and care in making your restaurant a great place to gather, dine, and celebrate! read more

My middle son wanted Thai food for his birthday dinner so we were going to go to Basil & Co in Diamond Bar. But then I remembered that they opened a sister restaurant called Ari's that I've been wanting to visit. We decided to come here since the menu is the same and I knew that the wait would be substantially shorter than the DB location (always a wait there). Distance from my house is only a little bit further than Basil & Co, so no problem there. The vibe and decor is the same as the DB location and I think seats the same number of customers. We were seated immediately upon arrival, but then I saw a table in the back that had "Happy Birthday" balloons taped on the wall so I asked if we could sit there instead and they let us. We ordered our usual favorites and tried some new things: Ari's Chicken Wings Larb salad with chicken Tom Kha Soup with noodles Curry Noodles Spicy fried rice Pad thai Drunken noodles Yellow pumpkin curry with rice Mango sticky rice Everything was great just like at Basil & Co! My whole family rated it 5/5 for every dish we ate. You honestly cannot go wrong with anything you order here. I was so impressed when the mango sticky rice came out, it was so beautifully arranged with the mango sliced and arranged around the sticky rice that was in the shape of a heart. SOO CUTE! They even put a candle on it, and brought out complimentary ice cream for the birthday boy! I love it here, I will be back the next time I am craving Thai! read more

Was I brought here by fate, or was it a mere coincidence that I ended up here? Either way, I was happy that I tried it. After seeing the restaurant on ABC7 I immediately added it to my bookmarks (and forgot about it for some time). I just happened to be in the area running errands and did a quick search around me and low and behold, it was the first place that popped up. Hungry and anxious to give it a shot I placed a pickup order for my usual, Pad Thai. I ordered it as-is with chicken (normally I would remove the bean sprouts and peanuts, but heck, I need to live a little!). Fast forward to my pickup order being ready, I arrived and went into the restaurant. It's very spacious and at the time that I went, was decorated to congratulate new graduates. Now to my food. How was it? - Pad Thai: It was freshly made and piping hot. I normally would just say "F" it and dig in immediately, but I valued the skin on the roof of my mouth that day haha. The noodles were delicious, al dente, and had an unresistable flavor that made you want more. All ingredients (bean sprouts, peanuts, etc.) definitely made the meal. The chicken was good as well (not dry!). The portion was generous and filled me up. Parking wasn't so bad, I managed to get a spot by the entrance of the restaurant. Customer service was excellent (for my to-go order). I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area (or not) who's craving some delicious Thai food! read more

Their food is always amazing, but I wanted to update my review based on experience. Came here for dinner with my girlfriends and after our entree, the waiter handed us a dessert menu but never came back. It wasn't until I heard the waiter talking to another table that it was their last call for the kitchen that I had to flag him down to let him know that we wanted to order desserts. After we placed our desserts, then the waiter slowly bussed our table. Anyway, we got mango sticky rice with ice cream ($18.99) and banana rolls with ice cream ($12.99). When the bill came, we didn't know adding ice cream was going to be +$4.00 per scoop. Like what? We didn't see anything about adding $4.00 for ice cream, but the mango sticky rice makes sense now that I had to go back to look at the menu again. But they charged us for the banana rolls w/ ice cream too! Highly suggest to update your menu to add ice cream +$4.00 like you do for your entrees because we were all caught off guard. read more

Ari's Thai Eatery - Thai Near Me - Azusa, California

The appetizers, entrees, desserts, beverages, and the staff all received a five-star rating. I had planned to photograph the attendees once everyone was seated. However, there was a consistent queue for the delightful buffet. The appetizers included Calamari and Crispy Pork Belly. For salads, there was Cucumber Salad and Mango Trout. Panang Beef Curry was also available. Regrettably, by the time I finally joined the line, only a single piece of beef remained. The noodle selections were Pad Thai Shrimp and Pad Woon Sen with Vegetables. The main courses featured Cashew Nut Chicken and Eggplant Basil Fried Tofu. Beverage choices encompassed Almond Thai Tea, Thai Tea, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Lemonade, Lemon Iced Tea, Iced Tea, Soda, and a variety of Hot Teas. Dessert options were Banana Roll with Ice Cream, Mango Sago, and Mango with Sticky Rice. My husband and I intend to return. We plan to order the Crispy Pork Belly, Pad Thai Shrimp, and Panang Beef Curry. I thoroughly enjoyed all the desserts and find it difficult to choose a favorite. I must say, their Mango Sago was the finest I have ever tasted. I believe it contained mango, sago, jackfruit, coconut jelly, and palm fruit. Many individuals shared with me that it was their initial visit to this restaurant and expressed their intention to return, as well as to recommend Ari's Thai Eatery to others. I highly recommend reserving the restaurant for a private event. We thoroughly enjoyed having exclusive access to the delicious cuisine. read more

I've been wanting to try this Thai restaurant since they've opened and finally found the opportunity. I didn't have a wait coming in on Saturday during lunch. The interior decor is elegant and clean. The staff were attentive and came by frequently to check on us. The Thai iced tea is really good! Strong tea flavor, but super smooth. Would definitely recommend. The fried calamari was perfectly fried. It was not overcooked and hard. It was soft and chewy. The breading was just right. Their aioli sauce paired with it nicely. It's very unique and has strong fish sauce flavor. The spicy catfish definitely has a kick. It is very flavorful and comes off a little salty. Definitely need to pair with some rice. The drunken noodles were very good too. The noodles are cooked just right. Excited to come and try more items on the menu in the future! read more

I've been meaning to come back here ever since I tried a few dishes during a soft opening -- and I can't believe it took me so long to return and try their delicious offerings. We ordered the Thai Shumai, Drunken Noodles, and Yellow Pumpkin Curry. The Shumai was definitely a sleeper hit. The dumplings had amazing texture throughout and I loved the crunchy garnish and fresh cucumber. The Drunken Noodles were your typical drunken noodles-- delicious with fresh ingredients. We enjoyed the Yellow Pumpkin Curry, which with the squash stood out form the traditional yellow curries. The food arrived quickly and the staff was friendly. The entire restaurant is very modern and we loved the light wood decor. This place will definitely stay on my Thai food rotation. read more

Heard this place was very good so decided to give them a try. Ambiance: Very nice-looking restaurant. This is one of the few Thai restaurants that looks inviting. Very clean and warm atmosphere. Service: Staffs welcome us with a smile. Got seated quickly. This place can be very busy and waiting can be long. Luckily, we arrived early before the crowd. Food: Crying Tiger with Papaya Salad - the steak was very soft and juicy. So delicious. The Papaya Salad that came with it was crisp and delightful. I don't always order the Papaya Salad, but this dish forced you to have that as part of the meal. Wish they have the Crying Tiger without the Papaya Salad. And if I want Papaya Salad, I can order that as a separate item. This way you are not forced to pay extra for the Papaya Salad. This item was listed as Market Price, and it was over $60 for just this dish. Yikes! Spicy Catfish - this dish came with Eggplants. Didn't expect the catfish to be deep fried. It was good but wish the catfish was not deep fried. Kra Pow with Fried Egg over Rice - I loved this dish. The flavor was perfect, not too overbearing. It blends perfectly with the rice and fried egg. I enjoyed this dish. read more

The curry was delicious and so was the mango and sticky rice. So was the Thai iced tea. I will definitely go back

Ari's Thai Eatery is truly a hidden gem! Every dish was super delicious and during the whole dining experience the staff is attentive and makes you feel extremely welcome. I tried a variety of dishes off their menu: Combo Pad Thai: 5/5 Although a little on the sweeter side, the pad thai was still packed with flavor. I ordered it with combo meats (chicken, beef, and shrimp) but might stick to just the chicken and shrimp next time. The beef was just average. However the chicken was very tender in this dish! Panang Brisket: 3/5 The panang brisket was a little bit disappointing. While the curry itself was delicious and their roti had the perfect amount of crisp, the brisket was not as tender as I would have liked, and they had barely given us any curry. I would opt for just the regular panang curry next time. Still highly recommend the roti as the perfect airy and crispy pairing to the curry! Spicy Fried Rice: 5/5 I had ended up selecting the "Crazy Spicy" level (highest spice level) for this dish and it was the perfect choice! While I have a high spice tolerance the crazy spicy level still gave a good amount of kick. The fried rice paired well with the crispy pork and had a bold peppery flavor with a hint of freshness from the basil. Chicken Satay: 100000/5 The chicken satay I have had here is by far the best one I have ever had. The tenderness from the meat was something i've never experienced before when eating chicken satay and the peanut paste was super creamy. The thai cucumber salad also gave it a refreshing kick with the acidity from the rice vinegar. This dish is a must try at Ari's! Ari's Chicken Wings: 4/5 The sweet and savor glaze on the wings was solid, and the wings were not overdone or dry. However, I was hoping for the wings to be a little more crispy. While it wasn't soggy by any means, a bit more crunch would have taken it to the next level. Overall, service was great and the food was amazing. This place is a hole in the wall that is worth visiting and I definitely will be returning! read more

I've heard of Basil & Co. and then found out about its sister restaurant - Ari's. Had tried neither but fate brought me here due to last minute plan changes...and sometimes, fate has a thing or two up its sleeve. Maybe three dishes up its sleeve. Arrived around 6:45 pm on a Saturday night and there was a line of people waiting to get a seat. Thank goodness for being a type A b/c I made reservations for 7 and was seated promptly. Yay!!! Service was prompt with water being brought to the table and then our server coming to ask if we were ready to order or would like something in addition to the water to drink. Wine will do. Wine will do very well. Then ordered three dishes: Papaya Salad - on the sweeter side and not as authentic as what I've had in Thai town but still really good. Kra Pow Duck Breast with Fried Egg over rice - had to order this b/c it's not a common protein for a kra pow dish. It was delicious and the Thai style fried egg...ugh...that is seriously the cherry on top. Pad Thai - ordered it with chicken and was delicious also. Solid dish and what I expected. Also love the ambiance. Not out there elevated where it's trying too hard to be what it's not. Just perfect without being stuffy. Will come back one day to try the curry and pad see ew. read more

Went to try their DineLa menu for dinner: $35. It was my first time dining here and got no introduction to the menu or asked if I've been here before. The server taking my order seemed to be in a rush. I got the Thai tea, Fried Calamari, and Kra Pow w/ pork. I got seated at the bar, service was alright not the best; maybe got checked up on once when the appetizer came out and that's it. The calamari was not my favorite of the night, the batter didn't hold structure. Kra Pow was good but nothing special. read more

Husband had the curry which he loved and I had the Kra pow with ground chicken it was so good. This spot truly feels like a little hidden gem, and we'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. So happy to have found this local spot read more

Ari's has a great DineLA lunch menu which is $25 per person. The DineLA menu for this winter is good up until 2/6/26. We came in on Sunday shortly after opening. This restaurant is very nicely decorated and has a family friendly vibe. The restaurant is clean and pristine. They have many TVs which is great for watching sport. The staff at Ari's is awesome. They are very efficient and patience. They constantly check in and make you feel right at home. This is what we ordered from the DineLA menu: App: Calamari & Pork Jerky Entrees: Yellow Curry & Kra Pow (both with chicken) Drinks: soda and Thai tea. All the food is stylishly presented. I love the way each dish looked. The most important part is the food tasted as good as it looked! The portions were generous. I love their take of the Thai dishes and the tastes they created. The Kra Pow had a great kick of spice for the medium spice level. Any egg on top of rice makes the dishes better. The yellow curry had great creamy texture. We enjoyed our time at Ari's. I'd love to come back and try the regular menu items. For DineLA, it's a great tasting menu for anyone who has never been. I most definitely give them my recommendation! Thanks, Ari's Thai Eatery!

The portion was huge and so good I finished it in one sitting. I also love the decoration and interior--cute, modern, and refreshing. Finally a Thai restaurant that isn't decorated in the super old-school Thai style. The second time, I brought a friend and they loved the food too.

Wow! I am so happy I discovered this Thai restaurant in my city! Everything about this place is perfect! I ordered 1. Curry pumpkin with veggies-- The curry taste is very good! Not too sweet or salty and very mild as I requested. It's a light curry flavor, but just right! 2. Tom yum soup with shrimp ($3 extra) and added flat rice noodles ($2 extra)-- This tom yum soup is super delicious! Not too salty or sweet like some other restaurants. It's hard to find a good tom yum soup! 3. Kra pow with grounded pork and fried egg-- I love this dish a lot! Very good flavors and the ground pork is not too fatty. t's definitely a chef's kiss! Lastly, we ordered mango with sticky rice! OMG it's super delicious! Very sweet mangoes and warm sticky rice. The presentation of this dessert is very pretty too! Overall, I am super happy with everything except it could be on the pricey side for Thai food. But I would believe this is why it has such a good quality of taste and presentation! The service was excellent as well! Everyone was very friendly! Plus a nice cute ambiance! I will definitely come back more often soon! read more

I heard about this place from some yelpers I met and they said the food is really good that they return again. The interior of the restaurant looks very modern. I ordered: Pad Thai: 5/5, it was more on a sweeter side but I do like sweet. Penang Curry: Packed with flavor and we finished all of the rice. Service is friendly and quick. Lots of parking in the plaza. I will definitely be coming back to try more food. read more

My wife ordered the curry noodles and the chicken in it was incredibly delicious and juicy. It had perfectly grilled chicken that was very flavorful. She really enjoyed the broth and noodles overall. I had the chicken satay appetizer and it was excellent. Once again, the chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly grilled with great seasoning. It came with a rich peanut sauce on the side which added a creamy slightly sweet and savory flavor that really brought everything together. My buddy ordered the Panang curry medium spice, with beef tenderloin and rice, and it was rich, creamy, and very satisfying. The beef tenderloin was tender and flavorful, and the curry itself was deep and well balanced. One thing that stood out is portion size. One order of curry can easily feed two people. My friend could not even finish his so I took one for the team and finished it with joy lol read more

Great new Thai restaurant with great menu selections. Got tired of the typical items so happy to see unique items like crab, fried pork, brisket, whole steaks for crying tiger, etc. food was good to very good. Calamari was amazing. Pad see ew was good, but very similar flavors to others. Crying tiger was good, but could have been better. Was a little undercooked for med rare and papaya salad wasn't spicy at all, even though I asked for spicy. Need my crying tiger to have fire! Will order with more spice next time, but hope they don't over compensate :). Their chili selection does make up for a lot though. Loved the red chili and jalapenos. Thai chili was pretty good too, Will be back to try the brisket and crispy pork for sure! read more

Ari's Thai Eatery - Drunken noodles and pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Azusa, California

A very nice Thai eatery in Azusa! The place has a decent amount of seating, and all the items you would hope for to find in a Thai restaurant. When I go into a Thai restaurant, I crave a lot of things from their stir-fry items like the Eggplant Basil, Pad See Ew, and a curry dish (Yellow Pumpkin Curry) , there fore I got them all to share and try, along with the Kra-Pow with Egg. The dishes are all very well presented and portioned great. My favorites were the eggplant, and Pad See are. Just loved the balanced flavor and textures. Even the Kra Pow was very tasty with the fried egg and just the great seasoning on the ground pork. The Pumpkin curry is what I always get when they are available but it was a little too sweet almost as if too much sugar was added to it. Lastly we can't leave without a little sweets specially the Sticky Mango Rice. But we also tried the Fried Bananas with ice cream. The Sticky Mango rice was absolutely delicious and something I will always crave after my Thai Dinners. Service was very friendly as well. Everyone was very nice and always smiled. Great addition to the area and will definitely be back. read more

After reading great reviews on Yelp, my friend and I decided to try Ari's. I liked how the place was clean, welcoming bright, and vibrant. Interior decoration was relaxingly modern. The staff was friendly. Our server was especially nice, gregarious, and warm. I expected the food to taste as good as the reviews mentioned they were, but they were just okay. They made it up though for the generous quantity per order. The large quantity made up for the prices as well. What we ordered, and how I rate them: Eggplant Basil - 3/5 I didn't mind that it was spicy, but it lacked that certain delicious spot of flavor that I usually taste when ordering a similar dish from the other Thai restos I have eaten at. Green curry - 3/5 Presentation was good, but it was a bit bland compared to the usual Thai green curry I've tasted in Thai restos I frequent. Pad See Ew - 3/5 It was just okay. The beef was a bit chewy as it didn't easily cut/shred off when chewed several times. All in all, it was still a good experience. Kudos to the staff. read more

I was in the area and looking for a place for lunch, and this place caught my eye because of their nice review on Yelp. Parking lot was a little small, and it was busy during lunch time. It was a little difficult to find parking. We were seated as soon as we entered the restaurant. Severs were friendly and service was fast. We ordered pad see ew with beef and chicken satay. Chicken satay was served in a very fancy way. It was not in skewer format. The chicken was very tender. It went very well with the peanut butter sauce/paste/cream. Pad see ew was very flavorful; however, the beef was very rough, which was a bit disappointed. I will come back again if I am in the area. read more
