Aoy Thai Restaurant

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.

There is no other restaurant for us in Altoona. We have officially dubbed this the BEST restaurant in this town. Started with pork rolls. They hit the spot perfectly. My husband only wished we had doubled the order because they were so tasty. He's actually glad we didn't as the next course included so much food. He went with the 3 flavor chicken and I went with the green curry. Both were very flavorful, and we devoured almost everything. Somehow made space to share dessert. Not exactly sure what it was as we ordered what our new friends at the table beside us had... Can't wait to repeat. Bravo Aoy Thai Restaurant!!

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!

Tried this place for takeout and it was amazing! We got two drunken noodles - one chicken and one beef - and they were both delicious. Medium spice but could've probably done spicy for an extra kick. The service is fine but we just got takeout. Only thing is that the noodles were a touch greasier than I would've preferred, but again, I'm the one ordering takeout!

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!

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!

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 !!

Their pad thai is awesome and the staff are super nice! Would definitely recommend this place.

The server was very friendly and the food was delicious. Good vegetarian options. The dine in area is small and clean.

Best Thai food ever! Everything is made fresh and delicious! Jo is wonderful!! Veggie Tom Kha soup is amazing!!
