I cannot believe that I have not written a review for Archi's yet!! I'm like what?? No way!! Oops!!
I started going to the original location on flamingo which is and which will still be a hole in the wall IMHO.... The first time I ate there, I loved it!!! But as I moved further away it kind of got hard for me go there.
So when I found out that this location was opening.... I was ecstatic!! :) :) :) of course this was years ago!! Lol and I have faithfully been going to this location since it is just down the street to me.
I'll start of with the bad and end with the good. And trust me it's not even that bad. Parking can be a hassle at times when it's busy. But it's not under their control.... I'm just mentioning it so that ppl are aware.
Service here is a hit or miss! Sometimes they are all over it and sometimes they are not present at all and I have to flag someone down just to get my water refilled. :( so service for me is not great. Service (2/5)
Atmosphere is nice. Much nicer then the original on Flamingo. Lol but it is getting a little run down...(4/5)
Finally now for the finale.... The food!!! :) If u get a chance come for their lunch specials. It's a great deal. I've gotten the pad Thai lunch special and with the salad... Egg roll... Soup.... I always have leftovers. I've had their papaya salad.... Which is delicious! The papaya is always fresh and crunchy and it is seasoned perfectly. I ask for a 10 and in all the times I've gotten this dish, probably like 30...40 times over the past few years... It's been a 10 once. Which is disappointing but they normally give it to me at like 7 which is still decent. (4.5/5) Their Thai spring roll is good. If u like Chinese sausage this is delish!! It tastes really fresh with the bean sprouts and cucumbers in it.(4/5) Chicken fried rice is your normal fried rice. It's good but nothing really stands out from it. (4/5) Pad Thai... Is always good. The noodles have the perfect texture and the flavor is always balanced. (4.5/5) Pad Kee Mow... Is da bomb!!! I love love this dish. The first time I had it... I thought that it was delicious and I've never looked back. Lol the flavor of the basil is there through the dish but not overpowering... Well... It is really balanced. (5/5) I've gotten this dish numerous times and it's always been always perfect!!
I will definitely...
Read moreI wish I could give Archie's a zero star. Walked in to have dinner with wife and two others. Sat down and ordered a bottle of wine and 2 beers. Waiter brings out 1 beer and bottle of wine. I ask if I can get a medalo that I ordered at the time of us ordering food. Giving the benefit of the doubt at this time. After 10 more min we have not seen our waiter so i ask the buser. He promptly bring me out one. We have not seen our waiter and we have now been there an hour. We ask the next person we see what is going on with food (everyone around us is eating). After 5 more min of seeing them talk to our server he comes over and says the kitchen lost it. Here is when I get mad.
He asks us if we still want the food. He said it would be 5 or 10 min. I asked him is it closer to 5 or 10. Without discussing anything further he says I am cancelling your order. He proceeds to bring us our bill. We than ask to speak to manager. Manager said sorry and asks if we would like food and I asked how long it would be. He said our kitchen is slammed. Didn't give a time or offer to rush it, just we are slammed. At this point he did offer to comp our drinks. We insisted we pay and we left. Sad day for a restaurant that used...
Read more(Original review 1 year ago) Rainbow /Sunset location. If I could give less than 1 star I definitely would. To be rudely treated is not necessary and will NOT be tolerated. We arrived at 2:50 pm for a late lunch between our appointments. The first person took our drink order. When he brought our drinks we told him that we were ready to order. He then said that he'd be back to take our order in a little while. A different man came to take our order we started our order however, now it was after 3:00pm so the lunch special was over. We told him that we had gotten there before 3 and the other gentlemen who had taken our drink order knew that we had arrived before 3pm. This waiter than began to rudely argue with us telling us that we didn't get there before 3pm. Our party decided to get up and leave and go else where. On our way out the same gentleman that rudely was arguing decided to laugh at us & talk about us in Thai. Perhaps they should take notice that other people do speak languages besides just English and can understand what...
