08/24/24 - Sunday night my wife and I went out for dinner. I had a craving for Thai food & wanted to try somewhere I had never eaten at before hence Aroy Thai @ 4654 N Damen Ave. The food was very good. We ordered 2 dishes to be shared family style. You can order the dishes in a 1-5 hotness rating w/1 being the least spicy & 5 being the spicest. Since my wife can't eat spicy food we ordered was level 1. * The first dish was the Pad Kee Mao stir fried wide rice noodles, w/beef ($1.50 extra), thai basil leaves, egg, collard greens, bean sprouts, bean sauce & a little pepper. We really enjoyed this dish. 5 stars * The second dish was Basil leaves, w/ground chicken, bell peppers, & mild hot peppers. Im not sure why I ordered this as I can make a better tasting Basil chicken garlic @ home. 3 stars Something to keep in mind is it's CASH ONLY. It's a good thing I keep cash in my wallet. Also the menu needs to be updated as the menu prices don't reflect the actual price (they did tell us before we ordered.

During a stressful week, I noticed this restaurant while completing an errand. Deciding to give myself a break on cooking dinner, I opted for take out. Noodles are comfort food - especially Thai food. Glancing at the menu, I chose Pad See-ew. What really drew me to this dish & sets it apart? The greens used instead of broccoli. This place Pad See-ews! Upon entering, I learned it's cash only however, you can scan a QR code & order online to pay with card. ETA was quoted at 10 minutes but it was much quicker than that. It's a small place but clean & cozy. Service was quick & friendly. After arriving home & tucking into my food, I was not disappointed. The slight bitterness of the greens balances the sweet & salty flavors of the rest of the dish. Perfection for dinner & a good way to end a less than stellar day. I will definitely be back as this is the best Pad See-ew I've ever had. Thanks Aroy!

Probably one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city! I came here for the first time and was blown away by how delicious the food was and how attentive service was. I met the owner and he was so kind and welcoming. We tried a variety of dishes but my favorite were the crab Rangoon and pineapple shrimp curry. They are also the only restaurant to serve this unique noodle dish (aroy noodles), which are rice noodles with a delicious bbq pork sauce. Heads up they are also cash only. I can't wait to come back and try more things from their menu and also love how they have a lunch special. Since I don't live far, I'll have to give that a try sometime too.

Wow this place was delicious! Everything was piping hot and fresh. I didn't get a chance to snap pics because we devoured everything right away. Took in a nice weather day with patio seating. The indoor area had plenty of seating as well. Several large groups were able to fit their parties. Staff was incredibly warm and attentive. My boyfriend (who doesn't even use Yelp) brought up making an account just to write a review because the staff was so friendly. We'll be back!

Best Thai food I've had in Chicago. The Duck Bamee and Aroy Noodles are insane. They have a menu in Thai so you know it's going to be good as well as Thai customers. Service is great and locally owned

Please note---- This restaurant is cash only My friend and I came here for dinner recently while we were in the area. We ordered pot stickers to start and thought that they were good. I forget the name of my main dish, but it was one of the spicier noodle ones that they had on their menu. I thought that the food and experience was good, but there are a few Thai restaurants I like better in this area and in my neighborhood. I may need to come back and try more items to give a better assessment.
