If your craving Thai go where the food speaks to you with passion. A pleasant surprise this place was among the americanized Thai places people regularly chose to eat.
I felt for something different and walked out of the Valenzuelan place i was attempting to eat at previous to coming here. Yelp pointed me in the direction of Arisra and im glad i came as it will become my regular go to spot for Thai grub. Walking in the place you can tell its family owned with friends and family coming regularly and interacting with the staff and eating tons of food. Karaoke setup im sure for the late night crowd, and a fully stocked bar to feed the liquid courage to keep em singing. Place is clean, and service is friendly and pleasant through my whole meal.
The food.. crab rangoon, potak the spicy seafood soup, spicy catfish, and the flaming ice cream for dessert. Everything was made well with quality ingredients and TONS of flavor. The seafood soup was a broth like i have never had, incredibly vibrant and large chunks of seafood....shrimp, squid, fish, scallops, etc. I normally dont eat catfish but i allowed them to have the chef make me their choice and it was a good move as ill continue to order that as i comeback in the future. Ending the meal with the ice cream and caramelized bananas was a perfect ending to this large dinner. Not too sweet and certainly not heavy bur cures the sweet tooth for the night.
When you want some Thai soul food Arisra is your spot... you can tell they really care about what they put out on the plate and want you to be happy with your experience there.
