    Curry Puff

    Couldn't decide what to get, and got to try other items from family plates! I got to have their curry puff appetizer and Thai tea while waiting for my family to arrive. I ordered drunken noodles with beef spice level 7! I loved it!! So flavorful and great on being spicy, my family members got curry and fried rice which was also delicious. I loved the protein/meat choice along with customization of spice for any of the dishes they offer. Service was great and food came out fast. Would come again if I come back in the area.

    dining during sunset was nice sitting outside so you can see the sky change and it set a good vibe. i really liked the food, surprising for la jolla too! got the pad kee mao and it was seasoned well, not too salty or bland. 7/10 spice wasn't that spicy so if you like spice, you can go higher. server was nice and attentive as well. it was a little pricey but expected for la jolla. would come back!

    We stopped into Aroi Thai on Prospect after a beautiful hike around the cliffs and caves. The restaurant is cute and welcoming. The staff is the same. You can choose from indoor seating or outdoor patio dining. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai and chicken satay along with some Thai iced tea. All of them were fantastic! My friend ordered spicy chicken noodles and the curry puffs which she loved. It was fun watching people walk by while we ate on the patio. The lady who served us was super nice to my daughter who loved the candy in the front by the register. We will definitely be back.

    Great Thai food with friendly service in a humble setting in La Jolla! We came here for lunch and were able to get seated immediately. We got the combo platter and everything had good flavor and was perfect to split amongst our group of four. We also got the Papaya Salad and it had a good salty and sweet taste that was balanced with a mild heat. For my main dish, I got the Chicken Khao Soi and it was fall-off-the bone soft and perfectly cooked! Lots of good curry flavors and the noodles were tasty.

We got our food in a timely manner, and our waiter was honestly the best. He was attentive, made jokes with us, and kept the conversation going, which made the whole night even more enjoyable. I really appreciate experiences where the people around you, including other guests, are kind and open to sharing recommendations. Our waiter also gave great suggestions and was very hospitable to me and my friends. We had a party of seven, and he still accommodated us really well. The food came out quickly, and the appetizers were amazing. I definitely recommend the calamari rings. The only thing I would note is that the wait was a little long, but that was mainly because of where we wanted to sit, and it is a pretty popular spot. We waited about 30 minutes, but it worked out because we walked down to the beach and had a really nice late night walk. Overall, it was such a great experience and definitely worth it.

    Yeah sure 5 stars is fine I ordered the signature pho…read more The meat was good, ribs had good flavor. Didn't care for the meatball but all the other toppings were good. Soup felt different than usual. Tasted stronger use of spices and herbs, particularly anise. And a bit sour. I never had tangy pho and that was before I put the lime juice. I guess there are different variations to pho and I am just not knowledgeable.

    We hadn't been back to this location in quite some time because of our previous experiences, but…read morethis latest visit was actually a pleasant surprise. I'm not here to talk about ambiance, decor, or the overall dining experience -- this review is strictly about the food. The main reason we stopped coming before was because they changed the rib plate from two larger ribs to three much smaller ones. Personally, I wasn't a fan of that change. The smaller ribs felt noticeably fattier and didn't have nearly as much meat, so over time we just stopped returning. Recently, we decided to give the place another try and ordered the same dish again. To my surprise, the larger two-rib portion was back. That alone was a huge improvement. I've always enjoyed their pho here as well. The broth has a flavor profile that stands out from a lot of other spots -- rich and flavorful without feeling overly greasy or heavy. The bowls are also generously filled with quality cuts of meat, which is something I definitely appreciate. That said, I'm still landing at four stars because while the larger ribs returned, something else seemed to change. In the past, the ribs had this nice char to them, almost like they were grilled or pan-seared before serving. That slight crisp and smoky flavor was honestly what made this place stand out from other similar spots. The ribs on this visit were still good, but they didn't have that same finish that made them memorable before. Hopefully they bring that back, because I really think that detail was what separated them from the competition.

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles. Out of the countless Chinese restaurants I've visited for beef noodle soup, this makes its way into the top three. 5/5 Lamb skewers - wayyyyy too dry. This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5
