I just want to take a moment to brag on this place. I drove 10 hours today and was exhausted when I got to Glens Falls. I love thai and sushi and I was starving when I arrived. About 40 minutes from closing time, 9pm, I called Siam Sushi in downtown...nobody picked up. I went into their restaurant to order some soup togo, an easy quick order. Their staff didn't acknowledge me for about ten minutes standing at the front door. Then when I said I wanted a small order togo the server scoffed at me and told the host not to let me as they were closing in a half hour. I've been a server/bartemder for 20 years and I've never treated a guest like this, guests pay the bills and are your business. I told the host to forget about it and then let the server know that I understood that they closed soon (40 minutes). At least acknowledge and kindly explain the circumstances. I told them to have a good evening and left. I then went to this restaurant and the gentleman greeted us warmly. I asked if it was too late to order. He said no not at all and handed me a menu. Within ten minutes I was sent on my way with a delicious dinner by a very warm and friendly staff. This is how you run a restaurant. With all of this pandemic mess and small businesses and restaurants trying to stay afloat I was shocked at the behavior of the other reataurant. My restaurant I worked at for years shut down due to this virus and it hurts me to see people taking for granted the fact that they have a job to go to. The food was amazing and I will be...

Aroy Dee, a modest Japanese and Thai restaurant nestled in a residential area of Glenn's Falls, offers authentic cuisine at remarkably affordable prices. While the restaurant may appear unassuming from the outside, its interior is clean and well-maintained.
Our recent visit on a Sunday evening revealed a relatively empty dining room, but the steady stream of takeout orders indicated its popularity among locals. The service was prompt and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting.
We opted for the classic Pad Thai and the Chicken Himmapan, along with Thai Iced Tea and Sapporo Beer. The Pad Thai, while a bit light on the eggs, was cooked to perfection, with tender noodles and a well-balanced sauce that wasn't overly sweet. The Chicken Himmapan was a delightful blend of savory and sweet flavors, with the pineapple and cashew nuts adding a delightful crunch. The accompanying sticky rice was perfectly cooked.
The Thai Iced Tea was a refreshing beverage with a subtle sweetness and a creamy texture. The Sapporo Beer was a classic choice that complemented the meal nicely.
Overall, Aroy Dee is a hidden gem that offers exceptional value and authentic Thai and Japanese cuisine. Its unassuming location may deter some, but those who venture inside will be rewarded with a memorable...
Read moreMy family and I were recently in the Lake George area for a week and were tired of burgers and pub fare, so we trusted Google to help us find dinner one night and we were directed to this off the beaten path GEM. My first impression of the place was mixed as the parking lot smelled more like one of the "Asian Style" places you would find in a mall. But, when you see the restaurant with it's sunflower covered street, you wonder why is there a random restaurant in the middle of a mainly residential part of town. When we went in late July they were only doing takeout only. Growing up in Queens and now living in Brooklyn my family has Asian food at are finger tips.
With this said, this randomly placed secluded GEM of a restaurant must have a very strong local fan base as they were consistently bring food out to patrons patiently waiting in their cars curbside. We had the Thai spring rolls, Mango Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Pad Thai ( I couldn't bring myself to order sushi this far away from the ocean). The food was surprisingly good. Everyone in our family was pleasantly surprised and Aroy Dee was named the best meal of our week long trip. One of us even made the claim that this was the "Best Pad Thai I've ever had". Big praise from city folks. Keep up the great job and DO NOT judge this place by...
