| - Archi's is an old dependable. Having been to 3 of the locations over the years, you get very predictable quality food at reasonable prices with pleasant service. Short of having spectacular food, that's about as much as you can ask for in a Thai restaurant.
All of their locations are pleasantly decorated, but the Village Square branch is bigger and more modern in its setting. I find Thai restaurants to have generally pleasant service overall, but I think Archi's goes even a step beyond that. Their food is at least good, with some great dishes. I'm partial to the Thai Toast, a must have appetizer in my book. It's a flavorful meat "stuffed" onto toast slices, served with cucumber & onion salad. LOVE this dish. Their papaya salad and beef salad are also very good. For main dishes, I like all their curry dishes and the spicy basil dish, and you can't go wrong with their pad thai.
Unless you find that spectacular Thai place, this is the place where you will not be disappointed and can find some great surprises. There's a reason why this chain is so popular and continues to expand.
Table-for-1 Factor: I went to lunch at the Flamingo location and there were several people eating alone. So it's at least good for lunch, and I think it will be okay for dinner as well. Atmosphere isn't intimidating so I don't think it will feel too awkward.
