Waitress was perfectly pleasant and in no way rude. The wine and beer selection was never mentioned and we did not see it listed on the menu. There is a table with display bottles you can look at to decide. The Pad Thai was fine, if you aren't judging it as pad Thai. It had a thick sauce that seemed like a mix of oyster and soy sauce (?). It wasn't bad but wasn't what we were expecting. The calamari appetizer was flavorless, in large pieces and very chewy. The Anya chicken was good. (Even better the following day) with a mildly spicy sauce. In a pinch I might go there again but there are enough other options close by to try.

The restaurant itself has a nice, calm atmosphere quiet enough to have a good conversation but…read morestill welcoming. Our server was friendly and sweet. We started with the dynamite shrimp, which was decent but not my favorite. It didn't have much flavor, and the sauce it came with didn't really complement the dish. The spring rolls were tasty and crispy, though my friend and I initially thought they had some protein inside turns out they were veggie rolls, which was okay, just not what we expected. For the main course, I ordered my favorite the Panang Curry. It's always delicious here, creamy and full of flavor, and they nailed the spice level just right for me. The only downside was that there seemed to be more vegetables than meat and I would've liked a bit more pork in the curry. Overall, this place remains one of my favorite Thai restaurants for its authentic flavors, relaxing vibe, and consistently good service. Just a few small tweaks on the portions and it'd be perfect.

Hands down, this is the best pho spot around. I'll admit to ordering from them multiple times a…read moreweek but the food is just that good. Everything menu item is fresh, packed with flavor, and made with love. It's honestly too good to share. Whenever I order from Pho 83, I order a full lineup: an appetizer, a main dish which is normally pho, and a banh mi -- an absolute must. The service is top-notch and attentive, even when they're busy. It's a quiet little restaurant with plenty of parking, though seating can get a bit tight if you like lots of space between you and others but a fresh bowl of pho is worth it. One thing I really appreciate is how the banh mi comes with jalapeños already and also the way they mix and package the perfect amount of hoisin and sriracha for takeout orders. Little touches like that (and the food) keep me coming back. ** My go to orders: * Pho Tai Nam Gau (P6) * Pho Ga (P8) * Egg Rolls (A1) * Summer Rolls (A3) * Banh Mi Bo (S2)

Really good peanut sauce and sweet & sour that accompanied them! Also really enjoyed the drunken noodles with chicken! Also try out the green matcha iced tea!

The dining room area is not large but it has a cozy feel!

We would rate our experience at Aroi Thai Cuisine a 4/5. Of the two dishes we tried, the drunken…read morenoodles were our favorite. They were flavorful but slightly over-seasoned, which paired well with the more subtly flavored khao soi. The portion size is smaller compared to other Thai restaurants in the area with similar pricing. The service was nice and friendly, though not very attentive, as staff primarily remained in the kitchen and were not aware when we were ready to order or had finished our meal. We recommend bringing cash to avoid the credit card surcharge. Overall, we enjoyed our experience but are more inclined to revisit other Thai restaurants nearby.

I was really craving udon, and it's hard to find -- but I discovered this spot on Door Dash and…read morethought I'd give it a shot. I ordered the Kake Udon for me and two orders of steamed gyoza for my kiddo. I gotta say, I was surprised when the order arrived. The udon noodles were paper thin compared to what I'm used to. The fried tofu was so hard it was basically inedible, and the broth - well, it had little to no flavor. To top it off, my kiddo took a bite of one dumpling and then spit it out. This child DESTROYS dumplings, so I asked him what happened -- he said "who puts corn and carrots in a gyoza dumpling?!?" and I can't say I disagree with him. Pork and cabbage filling - duh! Overall, totally not our jam and we probably won't revisit it. I guess the reviews are based more on folks who haven't experienced true Japanese cooking? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure my Japanese host mother would have given it no stars.

Recently, I have tried several dishes for the first time. Keep in mind, we've been going here for many years. It's never too late to try new things. Let's see how the recent visits turned out. As usual, we placed our orders online with no problems at all. For my most recent selections, I picked two combination plates (Mongolian Beef and Beef Szechuan Style). The staff already knew which orders I picked up when I entered inside. It's really cool when folks already know you given the many times you stop in. Definitely a great feeling when you get friendly vibes. As far as both orders go, they were good. They do overload a bit with veggies, but I can't really complain. Both were spicy but nothing that was overpowering. And they had enough fried rice in both plates. The egg rolls could be a little better but nonetheless I was satisfied with what I chose. Asian Grill will continue to be a go-to for online pickups. Till next time :)

There's nothing like Thai Papaya, and now I have figured it out....its like my Thai home really! Whenever I wanna just sit back, relax, and enjoy the BEST Thai food ever, I "just" stop on by "Thai Papaya"! The only problem is, it's "just"over an hour away from our home in NC! From the moment we walked in (I had 3 sons and 1 daughter with me this time), we felt welcome and made to feel right at home! The owners are truly fabulous, and so friendly as well! I was able to meet their son this time, and it's just so great to see a family working together as one happy team! The eatery is clean, inviting, and everything you could want from a great Thai place. Don't be thrown off by the strip mall attire, the interior is much larger than it appears, and I promise you won't leave disappointed! Every bite of every meal we ordered was such a beautiful balance of flavors inside my mouth, and can't wait to back to come back....I miss you already Thai Papaya!!!!
