    AROI on Prospect, no ocean views only palm trees
    Henri V.

    AROI is from Thai language and means delicious. AROI is a Thai restaurant on Prospect Ave in La Jolla. Limited metered street parking is a challenge especially in this touristy busy area. For reference, this restaurant is across the street from Eddie V's were I'm a frequent diner. This restaurant does not have ocean views, just the view of the Prospect Ave. where you can sit at the covered outdoor patio and people watch makes for a fun visual vibe. Service from the only waitress was helpful and nice. The restaurant has seating indoor and outdoor. There's a tv monitor tuned in on a Thai channel with subtitles. As a fan of thai curry dishes, I was drawn inside for the pumpkin curry dish. This was prepared and presented nicely, it tasted as good as it looked. There was ample veggies, tofu and of course pumpkin pieces in the delicious rich curry, which had a thick viscosity and quite filling. The steamed white rice was the perfect pairing and all I wanted along with a thai ice tea. After a few bites, I had to have my dish packed togo, as it was too voluminous for me to eat. Will have to return to try other menu selections but if you like delicious thai curry, AROI is worthy of your visit. Recommend

    Love this little quaint and niche Thai place. The happy hour attracted my eyes and taste buds and we had just finished the cave tour located across from it so perfect timing and thirst quenched and taste buds satisfied! #niche #thaifoodisbetter #welovesupportingsmallbusinessandyoushouldtoo #goated

    We stopped into Aroi Thai on Prospect after a beautiful hike around the cliffs and caves. The restaurant is cute and welcoming. The staff is the same. You can choose from indoor seating or outdoor patio dining. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai and chicken satay along with some Thai iced tea. All of them were fantastic! My friend ordered spicy chicken noodles and the curry puffs which she loved. It was fun watching people walk by while we ate on the patio. The lady who served us was super nice to my daughter who loved the candy in the front by the register. We will definitely be back.

    Pad Thai Noodle

    One of the best Thai spots in San Diego hands down. I ordered the Pad Thai with pork here for happy hour special and it was amazing! I arrived a few minutes late after the happy hour ended and they still honored the deal for me regardless which speaks highly of them. I was overall very satisfied with the service. Highly recommend for anyone!

    Great Thai food with friendly service in a humble setting in La Jolla! We came here for lunch and were able to get seated immediately. We got the combo platter and everything had good flavor and was perfect to split amongst our group of four. We also got the Papaya Salad and it had a good salty and sweet taste that was balanced with a mild heat. For my main dish, I got the Chicken Khao Soi and it was fall-off-the bone soft and perfectly cooked! Lots of good curry flavors and the noodles were tasty.

    pad kee mao, (L) Tom Yum Soup

    dining during sunset was nice sitting outside so you can see the sky change and it set a good vibe. i really liked the food, surprising for la jolla too! got the pad kee mao and it was seasoned well, not too salty or bland. 7/10 spice wasn't that spicy so if you like spice, you can go higher. server was nice and attentive as well. it was a little pricey but expected for la jolla. would come back!

    Service was amazing!!! It was better than we expected and would come back again will come again

    This is the best pineapple and cashew fried rice!

    Food was good but took a while. There are also A LOT of bees outside on the patio which made it hard to eat. Service was really attentive.

The menu is so long it's almost overwhelming in the best way. The Walnut Honey Shrimp was addictive and my favorite dish! The shrimp was huge, fried perfectly, and the sauce was sweet. The beef rib noodle soup had a broth that tasted like it could heal your soul. The orange chicken was the perfect sweet and spicy protein! The house seafood chow mien was not good because the basil was overpowering and the noodles needed more sauce. They were too chewy and bland. The soup dumplings were the second best thing we ordered and they were a close second. The dumpling filling was literally bursting with flavor and made me forget everything wrong with my life. The pan fried bao buns had too much sesame for my taste personally, so I wasn't a fan. I'm letting all the bad stuff slide because of how delicious the honey walnut shrimp was 5/5 fasho
