    Driving from Pittsburgh to NJ on a Sunday morning n didn't have breakfast n were hungry @ 1100. As often as I do turned to my favorite app YELP to help me pick a restaurant n found a hidden gem - Aoy Thai in Altoona Pa w great reviews. Was 5 mins from I- 99 n thought we'd try. The restaurant is in a strip mall w plenty of parking. Nice clean restaurant w nice ambience. Joe was a friendly waiter , We had the tom kha soup w shrimp n crab Rangoon. Soup was delicious n flavorful and had generous amt of shrimp. The crab Rangoon was good too. So many dishes on menu n had a tough choice. Tried the amazing fried rice w chicken and the pumpkin curry w shrimp. Rice was so tasty w the fried chicken which was spicy. The kabocha pumpkin curry was a red curry n had peppers broccoli carrot n basil w shrimp. Hmm out of this world. Hmm really great. While eating we noticed the next table had the sticky rice w mango which looked good so tried it too n was good. The mangos were really good - not too sweet. And we got a take away of drunken noodles n cashew curry for dinner. Am sure it will taste good. Thank you for a delicious lunch.

    Authentic Thai restaurant. Want Thai and didn't know where to go. So glad we decided to try Aoy. Tasty food and great service.

    A family-run intimate restaurant in a strip mall, this is a gem. It's very friendly, with fantastic food and great service. We were especially charmed by the individual tea pots for our tea order, and the fact that duck is so prevalent on the menu. We both had the Thai Noodle Soup with duck, and it was just the right mixture of hot/sour/salty and rich. You will be asked what level of spiciness you like, 1-5. My husband chose 1, and I picked 2: Mine came with chili flakes and chili oil among the bean sprouts, garlic scapes, bok Choi and noodles. It chased away my winter blahs! We strongly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have not previously had Thai before: There are curries, soups, noodle dishes and stir-fried rice dishes. Daily lunch specials. The restaurant is closed daily 2:30-4:00, and there's a minimum $10 amount to charge.

    Tom Kha soup

    If you love to discover little local hole in the wall spots and you love Thai food, definitely check this place out. Some of the BEST Tom Kha soup I have ever had! Aromatic and perfectly spiced (aks for mild + a kick) Panama curry was also good, but that soup...next time I will ask for a big bowl! Service was kind and straightforward. Thank you for the great dinner!

    This is an absolutely amazing restaurant, with incredible Thai food, some of the best service I have ever received, and the quaint atmosphere. One of the owners, Swee, manages the front of the restaurant. She is very busy managing takeout orders while also being the sole person working all the tables. Prices are very reasonable, and the food quality is superb. I got a khao soi (curry with egg noodles and chicken) and it was so delicious. it was presented beautifully, and the flavors were rich and spicy. I asked it for the hottest they could make, and they did not disappoint. This is one of the best Thai restaurants you can go to, and they definitely deserve all of the business around town!

    We found this restaurant during our long drive and it is excellent!! The food is very delicious. The texture of the tofu is extra crispy. The server is so sweet, she provided us some great recommendations. They have plenty of seats inside and it wasn't too busy during lunch time. We really enjoyed the meal and service here. Thank you!

    Always a great experience! Amazing food! Attentive wait staff and friendly. Check their hours before you go as they are not always open. It is always busy when we are there.

    Pad See Ew
    Sukhmani K.

    Best Thai restaurant in town. My favorite is the Pad See Ew. I would skip the Thai Iced Tea for next time, wasn't that amazing! My only con is the amount of flies in the establishment. It was quite annoying to eat and flies constantly swarming us and our food. They should get that under control. Minus the flies the food is a solid 8/10! I prefer getting takeout from here over the other options in town! If you're looking for good Thai food this should be your new go to spot!

    a bowl of dipping sauce and a plate of spring rolls

    I travel for work and seldom have good meals in Altoona. Aoy was recommended by several people and I was completely impressed by the amazing flavors, textures, temperature, and quality of the food I had. This is a tiny restaurant in a small strip mall but the server was friendly, attentive, and frankly worked her butt off waiting on customers, taking phone orders, and handing out takeout orders. I had a simple meal -- the spring rolls which were fabulous; the yum yai salad which had large pieces of white chicken breast and several whole, peeled shrimp; and for an entree, Thai spicy (no 4) red curry. The curry was hot but nowhere near as hot as I was hoping even after adding more heat. But the flavor, texture, and amount of chicken and vegetables was outstanding. I spoke with several of the other customers to get ideas for my next visit. All the other reviews here are correct -- Aoy is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and I'm so glad to have enjoyed a delicious meal served by a friendly and attentive server. I can't wait to come back ... five stars and two thumbs up. Yum !!

    Drunken noodles w/vegetables
    Samantha L.

    Highly recommend! Aoy is a small space with just a few tables and was packed on a Friday night (rightly so). The service was great - it was a one-woman show with one server taking care of both take out and tables, but she did an amazing job! I had the drunken noodles with vegetables and it was great - lots of flavor and the perfect amount of food. Excited to go back!

    Pork Buns
    Brad K.

    We finally got around to try Aoy Thai and regret waiting so long! Today we stopped in for lunch between classes. We were immediately seated. The waitress was in top of everything, even while managing it all herself! We ordered pork buns and fried milk as appetizers. The fried milk comes over very hot, so we'd definitely recommend waiting a few minutes for this to cook (as it has a custard filling). The pork buns were spectacular - warm and flavorful. For our entrees we ordered the "Miss Me Noodle Soup" (level 3 spice), it was was amazing! The crispy noodles on top really stole the show. The entire dish had so much flavor, and the best part? It was truly spicy! (true spicy dishes seems to be hard to find locally). The "Spicy Egg Noodles" were equally as great. Again, so much flavor, nothing repetitive. Overall, the service was amazing. The waitress kept track of names and offers outstanding service with recommendations, all while multitasking with takeout orders and multiple tables. It felt like a very personable experience. We will definitely be back!
