Thai Aroi Café - Brisbane

Due to the Greek festival, the restaurants seemed unusually quiet. We were the only 2 customers dining from 7 pm to 8 pm. The Thai-style chicken wings were delicious but a bit dry. The lad na (rice noodles with pork and gravy) was very tasty and authentic. However, we did not enjoy the stir-fried dish with cashew nuts due to a strong smell of chili/shrimp paste. The atmosphere lacked comfort and felt more like a fast food establishment. When we left, the restaurant was full and closed for the night.

I had just finished a noodle soup when I stumbled upon this Thai street food cafe. I decided to try the tom yum noodle soup with Thai ice cream, and it was absolutely fantastic! The portion size was generous and the flavors were delicious. Pom, the Thai lady who prepared the food, was very kind. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes soon!

I wish restaurants would realize that if a diner orders deer with their meal, it should not arrive after they have finished their main course. I would like to rant about the main dish: the ginger pork with sweet rice was good. The ginger flavor was not overpowering the pork. I would give it a rating of 3.5. I tried the fish cake for dessert, which was a strange choice. It was very rubbery and tasteless. The sweet chili sauce did little to improve it. I would give it a rating of 2.5. Additionally, the credit card machine malfunctioned during my transaction. No one on staff knew how to determine if the transaction had been approved or how to reprint a receipt. Due to these issues, I probably will not be returning to this restaurant.

The pad thai chicken with a drink that costs $17.50 for lunch, one of my favorite dishes here and in Thailand and expects a good meal at this price. but this time it was simply wrong, the noodles in pad thai chicken i served where pin size, approx. 5cm long and where is a sticky maic that just tasted bad, I could only have 3 small bites and could not eat anymore. I was offered another court, was reluctant, and due to the time to wait, I had to go back to work, was not able to get refund and will not go back.

I wish that restaurants would figure out that when you order an entree with your meal it shouldn't could put of the kitchen after you finish your main. Rant over. The main: ginger pork with veggies and rice was good. The ginger flavour did not overpower the fish. 3.5 The fish cakes entree made for strange dessert. Very rubbery and lacking taste. Sweet chilli made them palatable. 2.5 The credit card machine team out of paper during my transaction. No one knew how to see if the transaction was approved or how to reprint once the pair was changed. I'll likely not come back to this outlet.
