I was struggling with the menu as I couldn't find any reviews or mentions of gluten free even though when we called they assured us of the items I'd be able to eat. So we ordered everything vegan and gluten free. We got fried rice, noodles, broccoli, spring rolls, and (not gf) general tsos tofu. Apparently also in the bag were crab Rangoons. The non vegan/gf people loved these. However, at Asian restaurant, gf means you don't get any sauce. So the rice and noodles were kind of like steamed rice and veggies. They also added gluten free soy sauce packets, which begs the question, why can't they do a regular fried rice? I opted not to try the spring rolls since they were probably in a shared fryer. The food was okay, honestly I think the best thing was probably the crab Rangoons. Maybe a good place without allergies, but not a great selection without!

So this was my first time trying a vegan restaurant .. which was recommend to me by my friend …read more I will say I'm not vegan and neither is my husband but I wanted to bring my mom and sister who are vegetarian for a nice family dinner . And I am so glad I did ! The food was amazing , the owner is so sweet we got to meet her and she told us her story about wanting to have her own restaurant since forever ! So they normally have a regular menu however they do offer vegan hot pot with a reservation which I highly recommend because it was amazing !!! We tried all the vegan food ( vegan duck , vegan chicken , tofu , fried tofu ) . Which was really good because if you have never tried vegan food before this allowed you the option to try all the different protein options and see which you liked rather than ordering a single dish . And considering I'm not vegan and my husband loves meat a lot ... we still enjoyed ourselves, all the food was delicious and filling ! My favourite was the vegan duck and the fried tofu and the spicy curry ( highly recommend) Even the dessert which was a Oreo and banana pudding was delicious. Overall 10/10 great food , great location and atmosphere, great staff ! I highly recommend even if your a meat lover to go give it a try ... and you might be pleasantly surprised ( I was ) and I will definitely be back to try some more dishes !

However, what we did order hit the spot, and resoundingly so. We ordered one cup of tom yum with coconut milk, one cup of tom yum with clear broth, spring rolls, and chive patties. The tom yum with coconut milk was almost like a curry: very filling and creamy. The tom yum with clear broth was spicy, with every sip bursting with flavour. The portions were absolutely gigantic, and we had plenty left over. The spring rolls were perfectly hot and perfectly crispy. The filling was also delicious. The chive patties were also fried to a crisp, and were my favourite item on the menu. The food took a relatively long time to come, but service was very friendly. The ambiance was warm, with some interesting East Asian artwork. I'm always excited about all-vegan places, just because I can eat everything listen on the menu and don't have to parse carefully to figure out what I can consume. Simultaneously, I hold these establishments to high standards: such restaurants need to be truly exceptional to thrive. My dining partner and I were delighted with our experience at Aroy, and hope to return when we're next in Connecticut.

Ok, they act like their soy sauce is made of gold! Asked for a lot since we put it on everything & they give you 5 packets when we place a $60+ order every. damned. time! We tell them we don't want any other sauce, but they put a cup of S&S sauce in with the top not all the way on & it was spilled on everything! We are tired of it. Meat is skimpy in the rice. I was just so sick of it. My daughter was over last night & so we ordered from Wang's in Cromwell. They will deliver in Middletown with a large order or it's worth going to get. Tons of meat in the rice. Food is much better. People are nicer. Food is fresher & comes hot even though they driver comes farther. Sooo done with CK! read more

The boneless spare ribs were big chunks and no sauce at all. The sesame chicken looked like it was battered shaved chicken. No chunks at all. The sauce was more like a general Tsos sauce rather than sesame. The lo mein was nothing but noodles, beef, and a few mushrooms and some broccoli. Everything had very little flavor. Disappointed yet again.

Our usual order is pretty consistent: roast pork fried rice, General Tso's, egg rolls, white rice, chicken lo mein, and crab rangoon. We know exactly what it's supposed to taste like, which is why the last few orders have stood out. There's been a noticeable decline. The lo mein noodles seem smaller than they used to be. The fried rice came out sloppily cooked -- it honestly still tasted like plain white rice, with none of the wok flavor that used to make it worth ordering. And the General Tso's didn't taste fresh the way it always had; it came across as sitting rather than made to order. I'm writing this as a longtime customer, not a one-off complaint. We've spent a lot of money here over the better part of a decade because the food earned it. I'm hoping this is a temporary dip -- a kitchen change, a busy stretch, something fixable -- and that the quality comes back to what it was. We'd love to keep ordering.
