| - First time at Arroy Thai. Arrived at 6 PM on a Wednesday night and there were three other tables full. The restaurant was very clean and open. They could've added three tables for two if they chose.
I ordered Gyoza and Shrimp Pad Thai (spicy), plus a glass of ice water. They offer 4 heat levels. She saw that I was yelping so she gave me a free Thai Iced Tea. Good start.
They had two TVs but only one was on. It was playing esoteric type MTV. Kinda weird. Artfully set tables, with black and white napkins holding silverware, not plastic. Nice ambiance for a strip mall restaurant.
My app arrived in 6 mins. The 5 Gyoza were steamed and pan fried, just how I like them. The sauce was very rich with tamarind. The presentation was excellent and even had an orchid blossom. Very good app.
My Shrimp Pad Thai arrived about five minutes later. It had 8 large Shrimp that were plump and juicy, tender egg noodles plus some wide egg noodles for presentation. Bean sprouts were found within, along with garnishes of crushed peanuts, scallions, egg and cilantro. The heat level was appropriate. It was a bit expensive but there was plenty of food for two peeps, so it was a good bargain.
The guy next to me tipped his bowl up to get the last drop, so that must've been tasty! As I dined, 8 more groups came in, so it was steady.
Very good service tonight and I couldn't really find anything that went wrong!
I recommend Arroy Thai for a very satisfying meal.
