Being new to Las Vegas, I've had to find a lot of restaurants to replace the stuff I loved back in Seattle. So far, Archi's is the best Thai food I've found. Everything off the menu I've tried has been very good. The prices are on the high side of reasonable but still in range. The quality of the food is such that I'm fine with that. The restaurants are comfortable and clean with great ambiance. My one gripe is that I am unable to find two of my favorite dishes here in LV. That's not just at Archi's but at any of the Thai places I've tried. One of these dishes is Rard Na and I talked the Archi's that's on Eastern Ave. into taking a crack at it for me. They had the basic idea but the flavors were off and honestly pretty weak. This is one of my go-to dishes and I'd love it if Archi's could dial that in. My other favorite dish is known by a couple of different names depending on where you eat. some call it "Swimming Rama" and some call it "Showering Rama". It is chicken and peanut sauce on a bed of fresh spinach. Some places include some rice noodles as well. I love it either way and I can't find any places that do it. I'm sure someone does but since you guys are my favorite place locally, I wish you did. Every Thai restaurant in the Seattle area makes both of...
Read moreApril 2023 Update: Archi's has gone downhill. They've started to use canned vegetables and they have started to whitewash their flavors. We asked for spice level 4 and it was super bland. I called the restaurant to let them know and they were not at all apologetic or did nothing to try to make it right. They just said they had to use canned vegetables because they couldn't find fresh ingredients. The reviewer wrote below has come A couple of years ago. I hope they go back to that.
I placed a large lunch order at 11am when the restaurant opens. It was a fairly large order that included 24 egg rolls, 8 curries, 2 pad Thais and lots of white rice. I told the woman on the phone that I would need everything packed in trays and I would need it by 12pm. Within an hour the food was ready for pick up and nicely packed, labeled and placed in a box for us to easily carry it in and out of the car. They included additional condiments and utensils. The food was piping hot, fresh and delicious! My guests were...

I am sensitive to sugar, but ohhh boy, this place takes the cake (literally)! I ate their VEGETABLE curry with a bit of white rice and my blood sugar SPIKED to 170 mg/dL.
They must be loading their food with sugar. This is how you gain weight, eating veggies thinking it's healthy but in reality you're consuming a coconut curry milkshake! Be warned.
I am NOT diabetic. I felt so overloaded with sugar that I almost fainted. To verify my worries, I brushed the dust off my old CareTouch and finger-pricked myself... got my blood sugar, and found out that this food is the problem.
For what it's worth, I can drink a bottle of Coca Cola no problem. That's 40 grams of sugar. I could not finish half of ONE serving of the Veggie Curry... which means that there is at least 80 grams of sugar in the whole thing, most...
