Aaroyd Thai

I've been wanting to try this place for a bit and I finally had the chance to. Unfortunately I got there 25m before they closed so I had to get a carryout. I went a bit overboard by ordering a lot as I wanted to try a few dishes and knowing there would be left overs. I have to tell you their gang gai is fantastic! I got it with chicken. Super flavorful and the addition of basil even made it better! Their tom kha soup was good but I may have had better? Their crab rangoons were also good and they give you a lot for your $. I'd have to say the standout was their gang gai! I'd go back just for that. I'd say their prices are fair as their portions were generous. Decor wise, it's pretty basic. Food: 5/5Service: 5/5

So the food was great I had really simple food what I call a spring roll they call a fresh roll they were very fresh and tasty it also got an order of pad thai with tofu which was great I hadn't had tied in a million years and it was excellent I did want it spicy and when she confirmed for me did I want it very spicy I hesitated a moment and said just spicy which was the right call it was plenty spicy. I did get the food to go, shocker, which was ready to go right on time if you were to eat there I wouldn't call it casual but I wouldn't call it divey either but I like divy. Thanks to the other Yelp reviewers who pursuadedme to go there

Run don't walk. Best hidden Thai jewel in MI. I have eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants but this just went to my top three. Not only is the price very reasonable, but the portions are large and guess what the food is outstanding. Check out my photos. We will definitely come back here and we are telling our friends. It's a family owned restaurant that refuses to do DoorDash or Uber eats it's worth the trip.

Got the fresh shrimp rolls. Always super friendly and food is good. It's usually where I go for Thai

I'd driven by Aaroyd Thai dozens and dozens of times before finally setting foot inside. (I'm tempted to say a hundred times and maybe that's just supposed to be a figure of speech but I don't know if it's quite that many times.) I've eaten at both nearby Thai Kitchen and Thai Star several times as they've both been around longer than Aaroyd - to my knowledge - but never reviewed either on here as somehow neither made much of an impression on me. I guess they're both threes? I love Thai so much you have to fuck it up pretty damn bad to get less than a three star from me. But that's neither here nor there as this review is for Aaroyd Thai. Aaroyd Thai is an odd sounding name to my American ears that makes me think of SNL OG Dan Akroyd every time. If phone books were still a thing in 2023 I might hypothesize they were trying to get the first listing in one, definitely at least for Thai. It's very unassuming when you're driving by on Dequindre, perhaps one reason I kept barreling by so many times. I did notice the use of the Thailand flag on their sign on the front facade of the strip mall, a cool little detail if you're a flag nerd like me. The interior is a bit odd, with a lot of unused space, with a semi walled in dining area with some character in the front corner a ways away from the main counter and a row of tables against the wall away from the windows with almost nothing in the way of decor but closer to the main counter. I tend to sit at the boring tables just so Song, the gal who's working every time I go in there doesn't have to walk so far. The side against the wall is booth seating as well, always a plus in my book. I usually come in for dinner on Monday or Tuesday and there's always very little business, a shame since the food here is absolutely bomb! Very flavorful with spice levels that don't mess around- the fabled medium plus still lives and breathes here and it's sometimes close to the edge of my comfort level. I like a little kick and it certainly provides it. Hot or extra hot must be pretty fearsome at Aaroyd Thai. Some places I can hang with their hot but Aaroyd I occasionally think about downgrading to medium. Portions are plentiful, another throwback to the days when medium plus reigned at Thai joints across the land. I open that fridge late at night and boom! there in the styrofoam second meal, just like it should be. Sometimes that strong spice level makes it more of a snack that has me going back for thirds or fourths still later. And it's got that Thai deliciousness that makes it so tasty even cold. The Pad Thai is great, the basil fried rice is great, Vegetable Curry is great, Pad Pak is great, and the Tom Yum soup doesn't disappoint either. I usually get shrimp as my protein and it always tastes nice and fresh. I tried the Gang Paa on my last visit, one of those dishes where I'll just point and say G9 rather than risk butchering the pronunciation of a word like Paa. Don't wanna make a faux paa. *rimshot* It was pretty good but maybe not as hugely satisfying as some of the other dishes. The closest I've had to a disappointment here was the chili paste fried rice, a dish that wasn't jarring any memories from other Thai restaurants and was a bit of a strange combination on the flavor front but even that wasn't all that bad. And now I know that's just not my thing. As far as service sometimes Song is very on point and sometimes she seems to drift off a little. It's always slow when I go in and I know from experience sometimes it's actually harder to stay focused on on your A game when it's like that. So yeah, don't be shy about asking for a box or a water refill if you need one. I hope Aaroyd does get busy sometimes cause I want this place to stay around for many years. I already forgot about all the little mental notes I started making for future Yelp reviews of Thai Star and Thai Kitchen and good riddance. I don't need em clogging up valuable space up in my aging brain cells. I'm gonna keep going to Aaroyd Thai and keep trying more things - still haven't had any appetizers, salads or Thai iced tea. Now I'm getting hungry late at night. That's when I know I'm writing a glowing restaurant review.

We were looking for a place that has Halal food options, and this place had Halal meat as an option which was great. The customer service is just impeccable. The people who work here treat you very well and try their best to answer questions. I really appreciated the elder gentleman who was there to first greet us, and he was kind enough to bring out the chef to help us decide on which items we wanted to order and how to customize them, we asked for extremely spicy food and boy did they deliver! At the time we were the only ones in the restaurant, and they gave us their full attention I would say this is definitely a family friendly place and they are very kid friendly. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. They served us the dishes fresh and piping hot. If you were looking for savory and spicy food, this is the place to go to. I would even come here for large groups as well. They are a new place and they need the business so if you're thinking to try out something new, and has Halal options I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent value, fresh tasting ingredients, and flavorful. Carry out was pretty quick and easy.

We decided to try this place out based on previous reviews. I would probably give it closer to 3.5 instead of four for a couple of reasons. The food here was good, but not great. I did like the sauce the spring rolls came with, but they were run of the mill frozen ones. I ordered the Pad Bai Kra Pow (veggie) and my guy ordered Pad See Ew (pork). Personally, I didn't care for their brown sauce. It was lighter in color and thicker than what I'm used to. We did decide to eat in, and as expected, they weren't busy. At all. Yet, I had to go up to ask for containers, as well as our bill. I'm glad we tried this place, but due to the steep prices and okay food, I don't think we'll be back. I did get images of their current menu. Please keep in mind, the pricing could change.

Very good, spice level is very high! I ordered drunken noodle medium plus, waitress recommended downgrading to medium I would call medium, hot. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

Best Thai around. We've been searching for our spot and this is IT!!!! Best pad Thai, best curry, best service. Go here. Now!!!!
