True Hidden Gem. No, really, it's actually hidden and hard to find…read more I ordered the chicken satay as an appetizer and pad Thai with chicken. Both were super delicious. Port Ayan sizes were great. I ended up taking some home with me. They have a really cool and relaxing outdoor dining area with tons of flowers and plants. They have a smaller indoor dining area. This place is good for medium to small groups. Finding the place was a little bit hard. I followed the GPS, but even that looked confusing when you're entering in, but trust the GPS and it'll take you to the parking lot that you need to be in. The sign is very small for the actual entrance to the restaurant. Take a look at my pictures maybe that'll help. Service was great as well very fast and friendly. Glad I found this place. I'll definitely be coming back.

Your Fam is getting the craving for Thai, but your fav Thai restaurant has been "Closed…read moreTemporarily" for what feels like an eternity. Guess it's time to branch out and try some other local spots. After a quick search came across Tumeric Thai Kitchen. Was more than pleasantly surprised just how close it was. While the map said La Jolla - it was far enough removed from all the major beach traffic. Packed up the whole family and jetted out to what would hopefully be a new Thai spot. Even leaving guests said its as amazing, sadly though things didn't quite worked out like we wanted. The location is wonderful, it's the quaint little shop. Each of the tables had plenty of space from each other, which gave a very private feeling. The outside looked ideal for eating, but there appeared to be a storm coming in. We looked over the menus and I was a touched confused, they had the standard curries: Green, Yellow, Red but Panang was by itself and served with Stew Beef... I asked if I could get it with Chicken, and the staff was very accommodating. My wife went with Green, and we got the kids a Red Curry and Satay Chicken. Once the food had arrived I became very confused, while there appeared to be a ton of spice on my Panang it was super bland. What made things even stranger were the wide range of temperatures. The Curry itself was lukewarm, and the chicken itself felt hot enough but still gave me pause with each bite. By the time I finished my food, I was wondering if I was going to have problems later on.The Green Curry was in a similar setup, very bland and kinda cold in places. The only one that was good was the Red Curry and Satay Chicken my kids loved it. With any Thai restaurant visit you gotta get some Fried Banana and Coconut Ice Cream. So we ordered that - while the food arrived in a timely fashion the dessert didn't. It literally took almost 20mins to get the dessert. During which time I was able to pay and get us packed up to leave. The dessert finally did show and everyone loved it. I'm not sure I would go back here again for a round 2. While the atmosphere is really nice, tables have enough privacy and it felt very quaint. The food seems to be all over the place, worse is it was very bland - I wanted some spice Here's hoping that it was just a fluke but 2 out of 3 Curries being bland and random temperatures seems concerning.

AROI is from Thai language and means delicious…read more AROI is a Thai restaurant on Prospect Ave in La Jolla. Limited metered street parking is a challenge especially in this touristy busy area. For reference, this restaurant is across the street from Eddie V's were I'm a frequent diner. This restaurant does not have ocean views, just the view of the Prospect Ave. where you can sit at the covered outdoor patio and people watch makes for a fun visual vibe. Service from the only waitress was helpful and nice. The restaurant has seating indoor and outdoor. There's a tv monitor tuned in on a Thai channel with subtitles. As a fan of thai curry dishes, I was drawn inside for the pumpkin curry dish. This was prepared and presented nicely, it tasted as good as it looked. There was ample veggies, tofu and of course pumpkin pieces in the delicious rich curry, which had a thick viscosity and quite filling. The steamed white rice was the perfect pairing and all I wanted along with a thai ice tea. After a few bites, I had to have my dish packed togo, as it was too voluminous for me to eat. Will have to return to try other menu selections but if you like delicious thai curry, AROI is worthy of your visit. Recommend

The nearby curbside parking situation was quite easy this time probably because the rain had kept people inside. I remembered that the seating capacity used to be larger than what it is now which was only sufficient for about 10 diners. It could be a reflection that the vast majority of their business was from takeout orders. There was a laminated two-page menu sheet at the service counter. Appetizers, soups, and salads were listed on one side. The other side displayed the chef specialties, curries, entrees, fried rice, noodles, sides, drinks, and desserts. At least half a dozen dishes had an X mark next to them which meant they were unavailable. From the four Fried Rice choices, I picked the Crabby version ($22). Jasmine rice, egg, spring onions, garlic, and real crab meat were the ingredients along with Thai seasoning. When the item was rung up on the register, it was priced at $24. I don't know why there was a discrepancy, but I didn't want to initiate a dispute so I kept quiet. I took a seat at a table and soon afterward, a bowl containing the contents was brought out. The rice was steaming hot. I asked for mild spiciness at level three, however it had more kick than I expected and left a buzz on my palate. The portion size was good, but not for $24 which was the most expensive I have seen for a crab variety. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my dinner at Hot or Not Thai.

The staff were friendly and the food came out fairly quick. The restaurant is on the smaller side. There was seating available for large and smaller parties. From the dinning area, they had a window into the kitchen so it was fun to be able to see the cooks make the food. They also had cute decor that added to the ambiance of the restaurant. There is plenty of parking available in the plaza that it is in.

The waitress repeatedly refused, saying the area was reserved for a party of 8, even though the space appeared large enough to accommodate many more guests and our group was only 3 people.

What disappointed us most was that when we asked for the manager's contact information, the waitress refused to provide it. We left feeling unwelcome and disappointed, especially on what was supposed to be a special family celebration.
