  • I am convinced that Archi's has influenced a lot of Thai restaurants in town. In my opinion, this old restaurant has set the standard for Thai restaurants that stay moderately authentic, while at the same time appeal to the general public. In my opinion, Archi's is a solid Thai restaurant, but it lacks the uniqueness and higher level of authentic Thai that I look for in a Thai restaurant. My Thai friend who is a cook told me that Archi's has good stir fries, but forget about the curries. So, I thought I would try both. We ordered the Thai tea, which was excellently balanced with sweetness and cream, the pad cha cha cha, the panang with chicken, and tom kha with chicken. Let's start with my favorite dish, the tom kha! I loved the tom kha (khi)! It has nice whole shrooms, with basil and a fairly good amount of lime juice, along with other yummy herbs. The coconut milk was generous, and very creamy. I think it could have been made a little more sour, since I prefer my khi's to be puckeringly sour! However, underneath Thai Grill, this has to be one of the best tom kha's I have had. Next up is the pad cha cha cha, which is a mixed seafood stir fry dish with a lightly spicy teriyaki sauce, and bamboo shoots. The teriyaki sauce itself was a little bit on the generic side, but tasty enough to enjoy. What did wow me though was the freshness of the squid. It was nice and soft, not chewy at all! The panang, which I have heard was good from different people (and not so good from my Thai cook friend), was in my opinion an excellent version of the standard panang you'll get at any Thai restaurant. It also reminded me of the chu che salmon at Thai Style Noodle House, but with a little less character. Overall, it was tasty, but not overly unique. I still think Thai Grill has the most unique curry flavors to date. However, compared to other Thai restaurants, this version of the dish has a nice balance between sweetness, coconut milk, and herbs. I struggled between three and four stars with this review. However, Archi's has long been the favorite for a few Thai people I know, but today there are a few better restaurants out there. For the sake of their history though, and their ability to help make Thai food popular in Las Vegas, I am settling on a four star rating today due to the previously mentioned facts, and that awesome tom kha!
