On the pricier side without the ingenuity or traditional backing to justify. This is typical thai food served in a sit down, westside establishment. Lunch specials are fine but still put you back about $11-12. It comes with soup, a little salad, and an option of about 10 meals. The menu is Southern Thai but it feels Americanized and not very creative. My combination salad was just a mountain of greens and meats, with not presentations whatsoever. The service was slow during the lunch rush but manageable - in and out in about 45 minutes. Archi's may be fine for a quick bite on the way home, but I would go to China Town for the real stuff.
