I have to admit, until recently I didn't even notice Archi's. Even though I've driven by it probably a few hundred times. It's not easily seen from the road. My sister is the one who pointed this place out to me. It looks like just a casual dining spot from the outside. There was quite a few awards posted up on the restaurant frontage and just inside. For some reason it felt more upscale & classy. I don't know if it's the nice shutters or the shiny wooden tables. Mind you, not upscale like a fine dining restaurant on the strip. But like it would be a nice place for a date night or a business lunch. I got a very nice and relaxed feel from the general decor.
Prices were fairly reasonable. I did notice they have lunch specials for $7.95($1 brown rice sub). I will have to try lunch another time. We shared chicken Pad Kea Mow, shrimp red curry fried rice, pork spicy basil & won ton wrapped deep fried shrimp. Spiciness for each dish can be customized from 1-10. I went along with whatever my sister suggested, which was a 3. All the dishes tasted good. The spicy basil had good flavor, but not spicy at all. The pad & fried rice also were both good, but there was a nice kick of heat.
Service was good. Prompt with taking orders and getting our food. Waters refilled constantly. Overall a nice experience. I will definitely have to return to try a few other dishes I eyed on this first dinner visit. Like the basil fried rice, larb and the various curries, to name a few.
