Aroy Thai — Restaurant in Ottawa

Food is apparently good (writing this before having the chance to sit down to eat) but it can't possibly overcome the painful process to obtain my order. Ordered at 5, confirmation email says it would be ready at 5:40. Upon arriving at 540, there are about 20 customers scattered randomly waiting in front of the window and the restaurant employees are running about not really providing any answers, which is never a good sign. I get things get busy (it was a mother's Day) but there was no organization or attempt to being orderly or even provide information/ETA on what was going on. During COVID better organization is especially important, but this was a mess. I finally got my food at 630, and got home just in time to help put the kids to bed, and the wife had to make them a different supper. Again I get things can be delayed, but you clearly need a different system if customers are bring told to pick up the food and stand around in a gas station (yes that's where they're located) for an hour. Won't order again, no food is worth...

I’ve lived in barrhaven and for years I’ve said barrhaven needs a good Thai place. I’ve seen the google listing before and thought “gas station Thai?” So, I continue to go to manotick or bank street, etc while this little gem sits in my backyard?

Don’t let the location fool you (like i did), this Thai restaurant is excellent! The owner is the nicest woman you’ll ever meet - came to Canada from Thailand on a work permit and has spent the last 10 years working in the kitchens of some of the best Thai restaurants in Ottawa.

I now order from aroy at least every other week, it’s the best gas station Thai you’ll ever have :)

Fantastic food, tasty, great ingredients and spices, and super nice people serving you. It’s worth the trip and a perfect Thai option...

Excellent Thai food!! I never would have eaten here, but after reading the comments, I had to try it. ❤️❤️❤️

The comments are correct, it is not only the best Thai food at a gas station, it is the best in Barrhaven.

We had Panang and the Pad Thai. The Panang was amazing 😁. It is every bit as good, if not better than, a certain high end restaurant on Bank Street. 😉. As someone else said, the Pad Thai is a little on the sweet side, but that is a personal preference.

I highly recommended you try them. It is a hidden jem, right here in Barrhaven. Just do it, you will not be sorry.

LOVE this place, we will be...
