Ari’s Thai Eatery — Restaurant in Azusa

Happen to be in the West Covina area, happened to stumble upon this place because we wanted Thai food. The restaurant is beautiful too. The decor is lovely and very aesthetically pleasing. Restaurant and Bathrooms were clean!

So glad we stopped in! Food - everything was great. Cooked well. Presented well. Good portions. Flavors on point. So happy they had the vinegar chili condiment for the pad see ew. Their Thai chili powder is really good too, glad they don’t just use red chili flakes like a lot of other Thai places do these days. Loved the yellow pumpkin curry, the pumpkin in it was a lovely touch, added a nice hint of sweetness from the pumpkin but still gave you the potato starch vibes. Pad Thai shrimp actually had several pieces of shrimp! Basil stir fry was really good. The rice was a tad dry but the stir fry flavors were delicious and love that they do the fried egg on top. Crispy pork belly stir fry was okay. Personal preference, so can’t hold it against them, but I prefer my crispy pork belly to be the fatty pieces because they’re usually crispier. The meaty pieces end up being too dry in my opinion.

Service - great customer service. They’re super nice. Very attentive. Very sincere.

Parking - in a strip mall plaza type of place and there is free parking. We had no issues finding...

Don't eat roast beef! Although it tastes good, the price is too high... Just a small plate of shredded green papaya and a plate of beef costs $62.99, plus tax and tip, a plate of beef costs at least $77, I feel robbed... My friend and two children ordered food at the restaurant, We asked how much it cost, they said $26, so we ordered it! And my friend and I heard it... But I didn't expect that the bill would be this amount after ordering! We will never order this dish again... We were cheated by the waiter! Not worth it... Not worth it! Only two dishes! The consumption plus tax and tip is already over $100! The price of roast beef is so high... I almost didn't want to give a tip! Although the fried rice is delicious! But the price of roast beef is too high~ It will make people very disgusted after consumption! It is not worth it to spend $77 for a plate of beef after...

New Thai spot just opened --

We love Asian food, and everything we ordered here was so good. Definitely a must-try, and I can already see my family coming back often.

Comfort food favorites: Pad See Ew, fried rice, and drunken noodles -- my daughter said the drunken noodles were her absolute favorite. Beef salad was tangy and refreshing--perfect if you like bold, zesty flavors. Pork jerky disappeared so fast, I didn't even get a picture! Calamari had a great crunch, and the dipping sauce was on point.

We finished with mango sticky rice--hands down, the best we've ever had. So fresh and perfectly sweet.

Can't wait to come back and try their soups, curries, and more. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a great, welcoming vibe.

If you're looking for a solid Thai food spot with authentic flavors, check this place out before it...
