    Fried rice
    Trang N.

    We got seated quickly and we had a party of 7. The lady was able to squeeze tables together and we were all able to sit together. Food came out quickly and very flavorful. Staff was really nice and attentive. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

    It's super convenient to come here right from Seal Beach! We came straight here after spending time at the beach with the family. The atmosphere here is great, the food was delicious, the kids absolutely loved it, and the service from the owner was amazing. We will definitely be back!

    AROI on Prospect, no ocean views only palm trees

    AROI is from Thai language and means delicious. 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

    Love this little quaint and niche Thai place. The happy hour attracted my eyes and taste buds and we had just finished the cave tour located across from it so perfect timing and thirst quenched and taste buds satisfied! #niche #thaifoodisbetter #welovesupportingsmallbusinessandyoushouldtoo #goated

    Pad Thai Noodle

    One of the best Thai spots in San Diego hands down. I ordered the Pad Thai with pork here for happy hour special and it was amazing! I arrived a few minutes late after the happy hour ended and they still honored the deal for me regardless which speaks highly of them. I was overall very satisfied with the service. Highly recommend for anyone!

    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.

    Combination Appetizer

    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.

    So many choices of so much good food. And the service is excellent. Good thing we kept on walking up, until we found this authentic Thai cuisine

    "Great authentic Thai food with amazing flavors and friendly service. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a true taste of Thailand. Highly recommend!"

    Food was good but took a while. There are also A LOT of bees outside on the patio which made it hard to eat. Service was really attentive.

We were honestly blown away by the quality of the fish. We tried the tuna poke, and it was so fresh and delicious. It actually tasted even better than it looked! It looked like a smaller portion at first, but it really wasn't and ended up being very satisfying. We also got the seabass sandwich, which was fantastic. If we were locals, I could definitely see us getting this often. Last but not least, we tried the octopus, which was cooked wonderfully. We really liked that this was such a casual spot, and the person taking our order was so nice and helpful, especially for a newbie like me who wasn't familiar with the menu. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting San Diego and would absolutely recommend giving this place a try!

It was filling and tasted healthy. There were large sides of yams and broccolini. For dessert, I got the Majestic (dense carrot cake with thick and creamy lemon cashew vanilla frosting). I liked the frosting quite a bit -- a little sweet, but not too sweet. The cake part was too dense for me; the texture was almost like that of a blondie (1 star off). For my drink, I got the Love smoothie (almond milk, coconut water, banana, kale, almond butter, date, and spirulina). It was hydrating and filling. I could even have it as a breakfast meal. The cafe is on the penthouse floor, at the top of the building. People are doing yoga outside of the cafe. What a great place to do yoga and get something healthy to eat and drink!
