Fried rice
Trang N.

We got seated quickly and we had a party of 7. The lady was able to squeeze tables together and we were all able to sit together. Food came out quickly and very flavorful. Staff was really nice and attentive. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

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

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

Pad Thai Noodle
Taryn D.

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!

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.

So many choices of so much good food. And the service is excellent. Good thing we kept on walking up, until we found this authentic Thai cuisine

Combination Appetizer
Sky T.

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.

"Great authentic Thai food with amazing flavors and friendly service. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a true taste of Thailand. Highly recommend!"

I have come here quite a few times. To find parking just to get here is a complete nightmare, but I come because I love Thai food. I came today and arrived to order dinner at 4:22pm. There was a couple checking out at the register and I waited in line to order food to go. When I got to the register the guy said they are closed until 4:30. Over 8 minutes I was turned away from ordering. They had 3 active tables that were being waited on. It took me forever to find a parking spot. Their online hours say they are open through 8:30pm, no closing at 4:30. This was extremely unprofessional and not nice and really hurt my feelings and embarrassed me in front of the people that were paying checking out. I'll never eat here again. Not only is their food the most expensive Thai place I've eaten at, but now this kind of service just is very upsetting.

pad kee mao, (L) Tom Yum Soup
Jia Jia H.

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!

Coleslaw was so good, more vinegar based than mayo based, which I really enjoyed. We ordered the grilled mahi mahi for tacos and they were well seasoned and cooked. It didn't come Out dry, and they were just the right amount to be satiated but not overly stuffed! The staff cleaning up the tables and bringing food out to you were very good and super quick! We appreciated they brought out our food to us and brought over hot sauce and extra napkins. They do serve beer and some other drinks. I asked to sample a beer but I guess they don't do that and instead just charged me for a normal pint. It was still a good light beer, but would be nice to be able to sample something new before committing to it.

First thing that I noticed was that the restaurant is very clean. The employees there do a phenomenal job of not only keeping the place clean but also delivering great service. Great job yall! The food was pretty good! The clam chowder was amazing. I would get that every time! The sandwich was pretty decent. I wish it had a bit more flavor as I had to use hot sauce to supplement. The oysters were also so good! If you're in the neighborhood, definitely check out El Pescador!
