"Just recently returned from a trip to Thailand, I was searching for a restaurant with authentic Thai food. So given that disclaimer I had a really good idea on what Thai food should taste. So one day driving down Independence I noticed the sign for Aroy Thai restaurant and decided to pull over and try out their traditional Pad Thai dish. As soon as I walked in I was greeted kindly and immediately felt welcomed. \n\nI was told they had a to go style service which I'm not accustomed to but had no issues with it whatsoever. I ordered a mild spicy Pad Thai and a Thai iced tea. As I was waiting for the food I noticed the decor was very nice and cozy nothing fancy but just right the restaurant. When the food arrived at the table, (which didn't take long) I immediately felt like I was about to eat an authentic pad Thai dish and boy was I right!! \n\nThe level of spiciness was perfect for being a mild spicy pad Thai dish. The choice of ingredients were very similar to the ones I tried in Thailand. The Thai iced tea was delicious and the quality of service was extremely good, I couldn't have been more satisfied. As I was enjoying my pad Thai dish I was offered a curry puff appetizer to taste for being a first time customer which was delicious and a really nice gesture. \n\nI would highly recommend Aroy Thai restaurant to anyone who is looking for authentic Thai food and Thai hospitality in the Matthews area. Try their curry puffs and shrimp shumai appetizers for starters, followed by Pad See Ew or their famous Pad Thai dish for an entr\u00E9e accompanied by a delicious Thai tea. I hope everyone has the same enjoyable experience I had while eating at this restaurant. Cheers!"^^ . "2018-04-09T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "5"^^ . "2"^^ . "2"^^ . .
