| - It is finally time to write a review for a restaurant that's grown up with me. As many others, I too remember a time when Archi's was an obscure & tiny Thai restaurant on Flamingo. If I had written a review even up until 2 years ago, I would've given them five stars. But now, things have changed. We've both grown up and moved on to "bigger and better" things. However, with an increase in size and popularity (and price), has come a decrease in quality, quantity of food, and service. It is a sad and tragic tale that hopefully might turn around soon?
I miss that restaurant. Now, the food is simply just okay. The portions have gotten significantly smaller and the prices have gone up. The flavor explosions that I would experience earlier have turned into a decently pleasant experience. I love that you control your own level of spiciness. As a Korean family, we always opt 6 or higher
Now, to the food!
1. Papaya Salad: Always consistent and fresh! My family and I always ask for $3 extra. It's a great dish to clean off your palette to start off a meal.
2. Pad Kee Mao: Any flat Thai noodle dish is a fave of mine, but I just love this dish. It has a great blend of textures with the chewy from the noodles and the crunch from the lettuce and also has a little kick to it.
3. Spicy Basil Beef: This dish is okay. It's essentially minced meat seasoned with basil and other vegetables. It's a good lunch dish and is to be eaten with rice. It can be a bit salty at times.
4. Red Curry: This dish has its good times and bad times. I love the depth of the coconut milk but I have received the dish a bit watery with less variety of vegetables.
5. Catfish Delight: If you're looking for something a little different, I think this is a GREAT dish. Crispy catfish in that blend of I don't even know what! It's amazing! It's a literal foodgasm! The catfish is always fried to the perfect crispiness. TIP: Try to eat it right away or the catfish will get soggy...
6. Eggplant & Tofu: As a former Vegetarian, I like this dish with fried tofu. The blend of favors is great. HOWEVER, there are times when the eggplant is cooked inconsistently and many times when the eggplant is undercooked.
7. Pad Thai: I had to review this dish right? It's a mainstream staple! Archi's Pad Thai is stil the best I ever had. I will profess. It's not too sweet, it's not to sour, it's not too salty. It's always just right.
If you work a day job. Archi's also a great place to pick up lunch to-go! There's a drive-thru that makes it convenient. Overall, yes, this place has a spot in my heart, but it has started to deteriorate ever since I have left abroad for school.
