All the right flavored and good atmosphere. Staff was keen to our needs and the portions where good. They are on the weaker side of the spicy scale, so when you ask for a 5 expect a 3.5. No worries though, just ask for the condiments. Good Thai.

Whenever I want Thai food in Baltimore, I go to Thai Arroy. My favorite dishes are the tom yum soup and pad see ew. I used to like the drunken noodles but it seems like this dish and others have gotten much sweeter and saltier recently. Tip: If you order Thai iced tea for takeout, you can probably dilute it and it'll still taste good. Otherwise, it's too sweet. Turn one drink into three!

Great joint! It's a small restaurant, but based on the waiting list, quite popular with the locals! A big group of us, 10 I think, headed for dinner there on a Friday night. I wasn't surprised we had to wait for a table - we chose to split into smaller groups, for faster seating. Thus my friend and I got seated first. A nice asian lady came and got our drink order, and gave us plenty of time to scour the menu, before coming back to take our order. She was very polite and answered any questions we had before coming to a final decision. We decided to share their Fresh Spring Rolls for an appetizer. Tasted great! The spring roll has chicken mixed with the fresh veggies, then engulfed in a very thin wrap. It came with a sweet sauce that had a bit of a spiciness to it, but not overwhelming at all. For the entree, we shared the Chicken Khing - chicken sauteed with fresh ginger, hu-nu, onion, carrots, baby corn, scallion and bean sauce. Since we both try and steer clear of hot/spicy foods, we got it mild. And, because the service was timely, we didn't even have to wait between the starter course and main dish. The Chicken Khing comes with a small bowl of steamed rice. I could surely make out the sweet ginger aroma and taste. The sauteed veggies were just-right soft, and the chicken completed the meal. Very good Thai Arroy - I'd definitely go back here, on a future trip to B'more.

I went here on a Friday night for a simple and delicious girl's night out. We got lucky time wise and got one of the last open tables before they got crazy busy. So while the table was outside, the weather was finally nice enough for that to not be an issue. I started out with their Veggie Tom Kha soup which was fantastic. Not only was it nice to see this soup offered in a vegetarian form but it had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The portion was also fantastic for the price and can easily say that the meal was off to a fantastic start. However the main entrees were lacking all around. We both got mussaman curries, mine with tofu and hers with chicken, and both of us were rather sad afterwards. Even though we both requested spicy they were very mild, with absolutely no kick. While it was nice that the sauce included whole peanuts, it tasted more like a panang curry than mussaman in that the peanut taste was the overriding flavor of the dish rather than the normal curry/peanut balance. I was also disappointed that there was no veggie version, you are required to pick a protein and while they had two veg*n friendly proteins I would have preferred one with just vegetables. The portions are smaller than other places, but it could be because the curry was just protein, potatoes, and sauce while the other places in the area include a few other vegetables. Regardless I was thrilled I had started with the soup otherwise I would have been tempted to go to Abbey's Burgers down the street and grab a milkshake (or two). The customer service was also a bit scattered, as if they were short staffed which might have been the case. Since we were outside the people waiting for tables were hovering around for the majority of our meal, and it seemed as if the servers were unsure who was to be sat next. Things got a bit awkward towards the end of our meal when waiting patrons were hovering like vultures around our table - guessing out loud how long it wound be until we were finished. Needless to say we felt pressured to get out as quickly as possible. While I'll probably give them another try if only to have their soup again - I don't see myself getting the curry again. Maybe I'll have better luck with their drunken noodles!

When I usually move somewhere or spend an extended time in one place, the first thing I yelp is "Thai". Thai Arroy was one of the highest rated places I've found and so I decided to pay the place a visit. Yes, it's BYOB, and there's a liquor store a few blocks away in case you didn't know and want to go grab a beer or a bottle of wine. As far as I could tell, there's no additional fee for drinking either. My veggie Pad See Ew was good, and my friends seemed to love their Drunken Noodles. Will prolly be back again!

Ever since I left, I can't stop thinking about going back. I think I had 3 dreams about this place. This is a small modest restaurant that has all the right flavors. We had a larger group here and didn't have a wait (but got here at 6pm on a thursday!) The drunken noodles are amazing sweet and spicy and were the best i've EVER had. The red curry was spot on and the crab fried rice was very seafood-y in a good way. That was def a unique dish. I will be returning and want to try other dishes, but have been craving those drunken noodles! *VOTE: best thai entrees in Baltimore!*

This is my go-to spot for Thai food in Baltimore. BYOB. Typical menu choices for me: - Massaman Curry - Tom Yum Soup - Pad Thai with tofu - Fried tofu

Best thai food I have ever had! The pad thai, curry pup, and yellow curry are my favorite dishes there!! Also do not forget to end your dinner with the thai iced coffee!! The people that work there are extremely friendly. The owner is always there to greet you and say bye to you before you leave. This is definitely authentic thai food :) Also, the option to BYOB really adds to the whole experience. It saves you money on drinks to be able to buy more delicious food!

I love Thai food. Love, love, love - but can be picky sometimes - being a vegetarian and an admitted spice addict. I have been here twice and they pass the test. I never thought I would order duck of any kind - even if it is faux duck - but I tried their faux duck app and holy smokes - I am in love with it. It has a depth of flavor - which is what I look for in Thai food. Not just some veggies and spices thrown in a bowl of rice. Which leads me to the dish I ordered - the Prik Sod with tofu - extra, extra spicy. It was extremely flavorful and the portions were so big, I had a full leftover lunch the next day. We also had the green curry - which was really good - and curries aren't typically my favorite thing to order. I like them, but they can tend to be too soupy and bland. This was just right. Mango sticky rice to cap off the night. 4 people with app, dinners and a dessert and it was $60 - which is awesome, especially because the food was excellent. BYOB and have had great service each time. Can be crowded - but well worth the wait if there is one.

We had a group of 8, and everyone raved about the food. We tried a little of everything, brought several bottles of wine, and still ended up walking out with a less than $200 tab. The staff was very accommodating as well, and were able to seat our large group without an issue (we called ahead first, of course.) One of the best highlights on the table were drunken noodles. Granted, I haven't tried these before, so they might be like everywhere else, but they were delicious. I went for the softshell crab in yellow curry; the curry was some of the better that I've had. Several of us tried the fresh spring rolls; they were different than I've had before, but also better than others that I've had elsewhere. To keep it short, it's highly recommended. It's affordable, and out of the ~15 or so Thai restaurants I've been to, it's definitely top 3.

This place is always pack but I have tried twice and none of the dishes are outstanding based on the raved reviews. I was quite disappointed with their pad Thai. Panang curry duck, and even their appetizers. Okay food, very Americanized, not authentic for sure. Service is fine, not homey feeling. Again, on my third trial and it's absolute final (three strikes is out this place). Ordered their fried rice, worst fried rice ever in my entire life! This simple dish that they couldn't make it a decent meal. The rice is way too soft and not much flavor! Hot is mild there! Their egg roll is way too big (like a fried burrito), this is not how the Thai egg roll should be (full of cabbage and no clear noodles inside). I would give them a zero star! Those patrons need to know what a good Thai food is....

I was meeting my husband in the city for lunch and I was CRAVING some Pad Thai. I turned to Yelp and discovered Thai Arroy. The bright yellow awning made it easy to find and we parked on the street. We walked in and the place is pretty small, but very cozy. The hostess came up to us right away and seated us. From the reviews, I thought it would be busier, but I guess it is busier around dinner time. Either way, I am glad we didn't have to wait for a table! I already knew I wanted Pad Thai and after looking at the menu, I saw that I could get it with my choice of pork, beef, chicken, duck, squid, shrimp, seafood or tofu. I chose tofu. My husband had never had Thai food so I suggested the drunken noodles and he ordered his with beef. We both asked for the middle level of spiciness on our dishes. I was super hungry and luckily the food came out pretty quickly. I tried some of my husband's drunken noodles and they were delicious. He seemed to enjoy them, too. My dish was excellent! It definitely hit the spot for my Pad Thai craving and I would definitely come back again. The service was friendly, the food was great and the prices didn't break the bank.

Haiku: Some have said that this Is the best Thai in B'more. It was just okay. The food did not do Thailand proud-not that spicy! Stang of Siam wins.

Best Thai food ever! My boyfriend and I come here a lot, and the staff is so friendly and kind. We love the it is BYOB and always bring a bottle of wine. We have also come here with a big group, and they are very accommodating. Their chicken pad thai is amazing, fresh flavor, excellent quality. Our other favorites are, E14/ Mr. Green, drunken noodles, and yellow curry. They are very good about accommodating your spicy food tolerance. If there is a wait on a Friday or Saturday night, it is well worth it. Significantly better than it's neighbor Thai Yum! Great prices as well.

Let's see if braving the madness of Light Street (ie, nonexistent parking, super tight streets, etc) was worth it...Nope! Very mediocre Thai food. I've had way better in much smaller cities. Can't believe this town doesn't have any good Thai. WTF Baltimore?!

Michelle W.

This place is solid as far as Thai food (or any sort of ethnic food) goes in Baltimore. It smells amazing. The food wasn't quite as good as it smelled. I'd have liked their Drunken Noodles to be a bit more spicy. It's supposed to be suuuuper spicy!
(3)
Ivar D.

Very good, liked the soup and the beef was tender. Run by Thais, so you can probably up the heat to Thai-standards if you ask. There's another Thai-place right across the street also.

JJ J.

One of the best Thai places in Baltimore. Okay so here's the inside scoop: Best Noodle Dish: DUCK Drunken Noodles (they definitely don't skimp on the duck meat) Best Other: Green Curry (Get it with Tofu... but here's the secret tip: Ask for the STEAMED tofu, and they'll give you fresh tofu instead of the fried one. This secret also applies to the Tom Yum if you order that.) For all you healthy eaters, next time you go to Thai Arroy, follow my tofu hint and lemme know what you think! It also makes for a cheaper meal (tofu=cheaper=i'm Asian=yet i got duck($$$) so the whole thing balances out)

I'm tiring of writing reviews for places that are almost forgettable. Memorable enough that you remember that you tried them, but forgettable enough that they're unlikely to circulate as options when you're running through a mental catalogue of places to eat. This was hyped and it ended up being all fart and no fire. I think re-branding as a cheaper cafe is probably what's best for this place so the food matches the pay-grade.

While Thai Arroys take out is sub par, their in restaurant dining experience is great. Great service, tasty food, big portions. I'll be going back to the restaurant, though I still stand by my previous and would not get take out.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's actually great. I live in NYC and this is some of the best thai i've ever had. The portions were big, the veggie pad see ew was fresh and flavorful, and the best part- the restaurant is byob. Definitely recommend it.

I love this place. Great food and great service. It is a small spot though. So getting in on a busy night could be difficult. That is because they are so tasty.

This place is my go-to Thai restaurant. Sometimes I will eat in, and sometimes I will take out if I just want to sit at home and enjoy this great meal. The place is BYOB/W and they are always so accommodating and friendly. The staff here is great and they are so generous with their portions. I get their chicken or shrimp pad thai (extra spicy) and their drunken noodles. SO GOOD. The portions are huge but I can finish almost the entire thing b/c it's that good. But if you're not a fatty like me, you can probably share even just 1 of them or order 2 and share those together (if you are with another person). Their thai yum soup is pretty good too and their pineapple fried rice is amazing as well. I love this place and never want to say bye to thai (arroy).

This is the best Thai food we had in Baltimore area. The food is tasty and delicious, though the restaurant is a bit smallish. Finding parking is difficult during the weekend, given the Federal Hill area's popular nightlife. But once you get to the restaurant, you get a great choice of authentic Thai food. We have had pad thai, the very spicy chicken fried rice, and a tasty dish called Larb cai (ground chicken salad?). I recommend the young coconut juice they have on the beverage menu ... it's very tasty. The staff are very helpful as well. The restaurant might get crowded during lunch hours and the weekend, so arrive early.

On a warm summer Baltimore evening after two Happy Hour places, we (6 people) decided to kick it up a notice and try Thai Arroy out. This area of Fed. Hill has a good number places to eat and a good variety of types of food. So we picked Thai :) :) Thai Arroy is a small place, but comes with allot of flavor. We sat outside and enjoyed the people walking about and the weather. We all ordered very different things, I can only comment on what my GF and I ordered. We started with a green papaya salad, but we asked that it be vegetarian, no fish sauce or seafood. They were super accommodating and helpful. The green papaya salad was very tasty and fresh. My only draw back was they used ice burg lettuce which kinda killed some of the taste. Overall it was killer. For our meals I ordered the Chu Chee with Kai (Chicken) it was sauteed chicken, carrots, and broc. all in a red chili paste sauce with coconut milk! The food was very tasty, bursting with flavor. The chicken and Veg's were cooked just right, chicken was very soft and moist, no dryness here. Overall the meal was top notch, they cater to your spice level, some in our group couldn't handle allot and some good and they made each dish on a separate spice level. (For all you heat heads out there, they have a 4 choice tray of hot condiments, they def kick it up a notch!) My GF ordered fried Tofu, which was very good. The tofu was crispy but not hard and yet it wasn't too soft either... I'm not a fan of the flip flan tofu that falls apart on your fork, gasp did I say fork and not chop sticks!! The rice and veg's that came with the tofu were also fresh and seasoned perfectly. Overall Thai Arroy was a hit, everyone enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere! The owner and servers were very nice, helpful and they def took care of us. I would go back in a heart beat :) Note: Thai Arroy is a BYOB place and there is liquor store a block away so even if you forget to bring something, you can easily go and grab some wine or beer (that's what we did) Heat's the name of the game...

This isn't just the best Thai place in Baltimore, it's the best I've eaten short of going to Thailand. The drunken noodles, like everyone else is saying, are so so good. I like to get them with the fried tofu or the mock duck. Actually, they're good with the squid too. I've also been very happy with all the curries I've gotten. Once I got a dish with a whole fried fish that was also wonderful, I wish I could remember the name of that but I can't. All in all just wonderful. And it's BYOB, I love that too.

Drunken noodles fair at best. No thai basil,egg or chili.

Amazing Thai food! All the positive reviews enticed me to visit and they didn't steer me wrong. Originally from NYC, I have had my share of excellent Thai food. And this is by far one of my new favs! The weekday lunch menu is great! Lunch for two with entrees and salads was about $16! Amazing deal! Their pad Thai and mussa pad Thai are so delicious!

Amazing! That is all! You should def try the coconut mango sticky rice for dessert!

Came here last night because a friend of mine said it was a good spot to get some Thai in Fed Hill. Due to the St. Patty's day festivities the restaurant was at capacity and we had to wait a little bit. There is virtually zero waiting room, so plan to be awkwardly confined to the 3 foot by 6 foot entryway. In all honesty, we only waited 10 minutes to be seated. We realized it was a BYOB place once we sat down and my friend went in search of a 6-pack to have with our dinner. There are plenty of liquor stores within a couple blocks, so it wasn't a huge deal. We ordered a chicken Tom-Yum soup and spring rolls. The spring rolls were like Vietnamese rolls. They were rice paper wrap, vegetables, and tofu. The sauce it came with was good. My friend's Tom-Yum soup looked good, but he complained that the serving was a little too small. For our entrees, we ordered chicken Pad Thai and shrimp Pad Se Ew. The Pad Thai looked pretty standard, and it was a normal portion size. My Pad Se Ew was good, but it was definitely a little on the sweet side. There was a good amount of shrimp, and they were big too. Portion size on the Pad Se Ew was normal as well, so I was glad that I had the spring roll appetizer to start. Service was really good. Filled up our water glasses often and came over to check on us to make sure everything was ok. They also were sure to pick up the empty bottles on the table as well. Pleasantly surprised at how prompt the service was considering there isn't much space in the restaurant and it was really crowded. The decor could use some work, but if you're coming here you're coming for the food, not to impress. The location is really good too. Had it not been a St. Patty's celebration, I could see a lot of people coming here for a quick dinner before a night out in Federal Hill. The prices were also reasonable. The pricing was listed at the top page of the menu. For example, a dish with chicken in it would be $12 and a dish with shrimp in it would be $14. This was a good way to price everything out, and allowed you to just pick your entree without having to take price into account too much. Food was fine and space could use some work. I'd come back again if I was in the area and craving some Thai.

I love their drunken noodles and chicken satay! The pad thai was equally good, but their spring rolls were definitely an order I wish I could take back- no flavor, bland. Good, quick service and overall great food :)

The service was great and the food was very good. Portion size may look small on the plate itself, but it gets you full really easily! I had the drunken noodle and my boyfriend had the Pad See Ew which is very similar since they use the same noodle, but the spices are very different. Drunken noodle had a lot more complicated spice combinations than the Pad See Ew so if you're into the crazy whirl of spice, i'd go with the drunken noodle. I had it with duck and they gave a good amount of it! I was very happy with the service and the food here :) Great job!

This is the best Thai we've had in Baltimore- and it's BYOB which is even better. Also, if you order take out, you can easily fill out a form online and then go to pick it up. Can't complain! I'd recommend the Tofu Tod (fried tofu) as an app. The peanut sauce is out of this world- I could dip almost anything into it. Also, I always get the pad thai with tofu. Again, I love the peanuts with it.

This is definitely the most authentic Thai place I've been to. I've been to Nooshi (DC), Thai Chef (DC), Rice (DC), and Thai Pavilion (Rockville/National Harbor) and they're definitely more American, although Thai Pavilion seems to be less so. I came up to Baltimore to watch the Grand Prix yesterday (from outside the fence since we didn't have tickets) and got treated to this place for dinner. I'm generally a fan of Thai food since it's not too spicy (they're generally really accommodating about spiciness) and it's not too sweet to the point of being nauseating. Inside, it's tiny, and it's packed! I asked if it's always this busy and my date said that it's generally way busier, so I was surprised. The staff seemed really nice and set on getting everyone's orders right, which is always good. We got the Chicken Kao Pad and Sa Tay since I'm averse to spiciness and it was really good. The peanut sauce was good - not too sweet and the Sa Tay chicken was tasty - as my date put it, chicken at other places tends to be a vehicle for peanut sauce, but this place had really good chicken. I'd definitely come back here; the only drawback was that it was LOUD. I really dislike loud places, and it couldn't be helped since there were a lot of people, but I still prefer quiet places. I'd definitely recommend it to all my friends if I knew any other people who are fans of Baltimore!

Man, I'm torn here on a place with really great service, but average food. I love great service, but I also love great food. I was with two other people. Two of the dishes were just average, however, the Pad Thai was yummy. But, I'm not a Pad Thai lover. Just not sure that I will be back.

Amanda I.

This food is fabulous. And its BYOB. I've had the spicy shrimp and broccoli, curry, drunken noodles, pad thai, and the list goes on. Appetizers are great, portions are generous of the main dish- I normally eat for 3-4 meals. Make sure you get there early or make a reservation! This spot is popular, but has every right to be.

THEY SERVE RETURNED FOOD! I went to grab my pickup order and all of the servers began speaking to each other and looked confused. One server picked up a phone and told us "Your food will be here in just a few minutes." We waited in the restaurant for 15 minutes for what we thought would be a delivery boy who may have mistakenly grabbed our food to return. A RANDOM PERSON CAME BACK IN WITH OUR FOOD. They apologized to the random and turned to give us our meals WHICHA RANDOM PERSON HAD BEEN ALONE WITH FOR 15 MINUTES. They told us they had mistakenly given him our meals AND THEN TRIED TO RING US UP FOR PAYMENT. We declined the meals and the server told us they could make us new dishes but we would have to wait 15-20 minutes. They tried to serve us food that a stranger had thought to be theirs and then had them return. Beyond disgusting and wouldn't recommend going their unless you enjoy eating someone else's dirty scraps and like to be charged for it.

Reason for eating? I'd been looking for a decent thai restaurant in the Baltimore area given that this was one of my favorite genres back home. Was here for lunch. Setting: Parking sucks! Part of this was because there was construction going on which caused traffic on top of narrow streets. The restaurant itself is quaint and situated nicely between many other boutiques and eateries. Thus, if you wanted to go for a walk afterwards, there's plenty to do and see. Again, just have to find parking. Rating: 2 stars. Waiters/waitresses: Service with a smile. Unfortunately, I had to repeat my order several times before finally pointing to what I wanted directly on the menu. Food was brought out hot but the waitress had forgotten what my table had ordered and ended up incorrectly arranged out dishes on the table. Rating: 1.5 stars Food: Pad Thai - unfortunately the helpings weren't that large. The food was otherwise fantastic. The dish was both sweet and salty. The consistency was somewhat compromised as the noodles were actually a little overcooked, but packed with flavor. Drink: Thai iced tea. This was probably the best part of the meal. it's always difficult finding the right mix of cream with tea. Too much cream and the drink is bland. Too much tea and the drink isn't sweet enough. They managed to get the perfect ratio. Too bad refills weren't free. Rating: 5 stars Recommendations: Definitely an eat!

This is probably my favorite place to go for Thai food. Getting a table can be a bit tough on Friday and Sat evenings as it can get pretty crowded. The place is BYOB without a bottle fee. I personally like the pad thai or drunken noodles, and find that tofu pairs well with the pad thai and beef with the drunken noodles. If you can, definitely go for lunch and try the tom yum soup. What also makes this place great is you get a huge serving of food.

Drunken Noodles with Chicken were fantastic and so were the Crisp Spring Rolls. Service was great and it's a quaint little spot. Go there... Enjoy yourself.

Ben B.

Really good! I was very impressed by the place, which is small and cozy (though it was wildly crowded on a Thursday for whatever reason). I got the drunken noodles which were drunkenly delicious. The prices were so-so, my squid noodles coming in at $12 and ending up a bit skimpy on the squid. But the servers were super friendly and everything was tasty. So it gets four.

Sarah I.

I went to this restaurant once in 2013. This is OK Thai food. We got drunken noodles and mussaman curry. This was not special at all. If you want great Thai food, I suggest Stang of Siam in Mt Vernon or the Thai Restaurant in Greenmount/Charles Village.

Mikki H.

I don't know if I just went late at night and the cooks were tired or if I'm just spoiled by the amount of amazing Thai restaurants in Southern California, but I was really surprised that this Thai restaurant got as high as a rating as it did. The place was cute, clean and in a nice area in Federal Hill. The waitresses were nice and the service was quick. The food was just okay. We ordered the Thai iced tea, pahd Thai, green curry, drunken noodles and mango with sticky rice. The Thai iced tea was good, just like any other restaurant. The noodle dishes lacked in overall flavor and I tend to judge Thai restaurants on the quality of their pahd Thai. The curry was just okay. The mango on the sticky rice was not ripe so a majority of the sweetness of the dessert came from the sticky rice. Overall, nothing to rave about which disappoints me since several reviews say this place has the best Thai food in Baltimore.

My mom once said that if, "a restaurant doesn't serve alcohol, it feels like you are eating at home." I'm not sure what she meant, because there was always plenty of libations in our casa. But it stuck, I have a hard time feeling like I am out if I can't have beer with my Thai. Thai Arroy doesn't serve alcohol, but they do serve up fantastic Thai...oh, and they are BYOB! It is probably one of my favorite parts of Baltimore, and specifically Fed Hill. The only problem is that most places don't advertise that they allow patrons to port their own potables. So grab a couple of brews and try the (standards) Green Curry or Pad Thai, or be more adventurous and get the crispy (whole) fish. Like others have said, no need to say much more. Easily the best Thai in B'more. The place is small, so be aware if you have a big group.

Thai Arroy is overall good but the flavors are more sweet and less savory than some of the other restaurants in town

Ashu M.

It was a debate between 4 and 5 Stars, but this is unarguably the BEST Thai food in Baltimore, and no less than anything available in the entire MD/DC/VA area! So 5 Stars it is! I wish they were a little more consistent, but we often get different proportions of curry/spice/vegetables/meats in the dishes we've ordered. Their drunken noodles (with chicken, or overloaded with vegetables, hold the tofu) are among the best I've ever had, as are their curries. And yes, they're busy on weekends, so be prepared to wait for a table! If you like it spicy (the wife and I do!), remember to ask for it, or they'll make everything really really mild (on the verge of being bland!) You can't rescue that witht he spice tray! BYOB.

Chosei K.

I've grown to love Thai food over the last several years and Thai Arroy offers some of the best noodle and curry dishes in Baltimore. I enjoy eating their druken noodles, pad thai and pad see ew. My favorite dish recently is the hot pot. If you're trying to catch up with someone, you want to consider how busy they look; it gets really loud when it's crowded.
(4)
Kait H.

I go here about 1-2 times a year (drive in from a half hour away). It always hits the spot. The servings are plentiful (I have split 3-4 dishes between 6 people), and to top it off it is BYOB, making it very affordable.
(4)
Jewel R.

The food and helpings are good. A BYOB and that makes it more attractive. It is a small restaurant and informal. We were visiting Inner Harbor and thanks to Yelp, found this restaurant. The price is very reasonable. Good bang for your bucks!!

Kojo B.

I dont know what the fuss is about this place, but usually a measuring stick that i use to measure if a Thai food joint is good or not is how well their fried rice tastes. I guess i have been spoilt with that amazing My Thai fried rice (please come back soon), but this was disappointing and forgetful. I told them make it spicy it tasted bland, i also ordered some appetizers that i could care to remember. Maybe it was because of takeout or maybe fried rice is not their strongest point, but anyway i am still on the lookout for some amazing fried rice until if/when MyThai comes back. I am also judging them based solely on that dish to offer a disclaimer.

Rebecca H.

Thai Arroy is everything that you would expect from a small, neighborhood Thai restaurant. They have the normal traditional Thai dishes to choose from and they were executed well. I shared a plate of very fresh vegetable spring rolls and a tofu green curry dish with a friend and it was plenty of food. My only complaint is that I was expecting the curry dish to be at least a little bit spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. It was still delicious though. Service was quiet and friendly. It's a small place and I hear it gets really busy during dinner, however I went right around 5 pm and there wasn't a crowd at all. I would definitely go back for more!
(4)
Farida A.

No. This place seems quite popular with the locals. Unforch, as a lover of Thai food and a person who came to the table with a HUGE appetite, I was sorely disappointed! The red curry was really weak and my tofu tasted spoiled! Wouldn't bother coming back here.
(1)
Derek I.

3.5 Stars. Good but NOT great Thai food. We go here often since it is close to where we live. Everything is generally okay but.... The massaman and green curry are always a bit watered-down. The chicken satay is a bit dry but flavored well. There is too much soy sauce in the pad see ew noodles and the veggies in the noodles always seem overcooked. However, despite it being busy during the dinner rush hour, we are always seated quickly, the service is very responsive and they prepare the meal in a short amount of time.

Tiffany P.

I went here a few weeks ago on a date. I've been very spoiled with high quality Thai food in Atlanta and was anxious to find a replacement in Baltimore. The food at Thai Arroy is very good and the portions are enough to fill you up and have some for left-overs. My date and I both had noodle dishes-- pad see ew and drunken noodles-- and both were excellent. I haven't tried their coconut soup yet which will be the final deciding factor for whether this becomes my new Thai spot. One star was lost because the place is pretty small and it got quite loud to the point where it was hard to hear my date talk.
(4)
Ada G.

It's always a good sign when you go to lunch late in the afternoon and every table is taken. This place rocks! The service was fantastic and the food was wonderful! We had the tom yum goong soup - it was perfect - not too sweet and perfectly spicy. We shared the duck with pineapple. It was very good, but a little on the sweet side. We always ask for spicy and they went a little weak on the spiciness for us. Still, this place was very tasty and I will definately be back!!
(4)
Albert H.

Some of the best Thai food you'll ever have! If you really like extra spicy Thai food, remember to ask for it extra (or "thai") spicy. They don't sell alcohol but you can take your own booze (there is a corkage fee I believe). The location isn't very big, so it does get crowded quickly, but waiting a bit is definitely worth it. There isn't a lot of parking on the weekends because it's right on Light St (busy area) so plan ahead in that case. During the week it's not too hard to park.

I love their Thai Iced Tea and I adore their Pad See Ew. The noodles are so tender and delicious! It isn't extravagant but it's great for a simple night out.

Tameka W.

I got take out of the spicy Green Curry with vegetarian mock duck (essentially gluten with a definite "fatty" texture--not a big fan), the Kha Prao extra spicy with tofu, two portions of rice and the mango sticky rice all for $25. My husband and I were full and had leftovers for lunch a couple of days later (the food reheated very well and maintained a great taste and texture). The spice levels of the dishes were perfect--it's great to be able to accurately customize the spice level of anything you order. Also, for vegetarians, there are a ton of options available to you--just be sure to ask for no fish or oyster sauce/if any is used in the dish. The portion sizes are great for the low price and the staff is super friendly, inviting and professional. **I've given a "3" because I've found the quality of food (mangos, veggies and particularly the tofu) has been rather underpar in the past maybe six times I've gone. Because of my long history with TA, I still will allow for redemption and will update for certain the next time I go back! I hope you all have as fabulous of a dining experience as I have in the past.

Ted W.

We ate curries and taro mousse for desert. Curries are not spicy. Taste like arranged for Americans. Rice is not so good quality. Restaurant itself was crowded by many customers. Waitresses services good service.
(3)
Lindsay R.

So delicious and recommended for Thai food lovers!! I tried the red curry with shrimp and it was just perfect. The portion size was good and for $14 there was a decent amount of shrimp. This restaurant also allows you to BYOB so its nice for a smaller group. Our waitress was also incredibly nice which made the experience that much better. With that being said the only potential down side is the size of restaurant. It is quite small so I would get there early on a busy dinner night (like Friday and Saturday) and if I had a large group (5 or more). Also, parking may be a bit of a task so be prepared to circle the block a few times.
(5)
Laura M.

Can't go wrong here! It's so affordable and delicious, Baltimore needs more BYOB's! It took me a while to find a dish there that I really liked because I can't handle too much spice. I eventually discovered that I could order spicy things as "mild" and that gave me a lot more options. Someone once told me that Rieslings go well with spicy food, I try to find a really dry (not so sweet) Riesling and bring that, it's delicious. Also, my husband and I tend to eat on the late side and I hate being the only one in the restaurant. Thai Arroy has a later crowd, so no worries in that department.
(5)
Martha B.

This Thai place in the middle of Fed Hill is alright. It's a little small for the volume. I went there for lunch one day with a friend...service was a little slow, but nothing crazy. My pad thai was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I don't like it spicy; so if that's your thing, make sure you ask them to kick up the spice (and they will). I would go back if I were in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip. Atmosphere is casual.
(3)
Mike D.

It's been a while since we've Thai-ed one on but this place made it more than worth the wait. It's crowded always a good sign, noisy with happy diners and BYOB of course. It's all about the appetizers and the Sa Tay and Shrimp Rolls are about as it good it gets. The accompanying peanut and chili sauces respectively, are nothing less than top notch. Hot classic Tom Kha seals the deal and Kao Pad rounds out a memorable culinary occaision, the latter containing a massive amount of chicken, so tasty and simple. The service is amazingly swift and very pleasant. Looking forward to going back to savor more goodness.

Really bad thai food! mushy noodles and sugary sweet pad thai.

Amit P.

My roommates and I absolutely love this place. Their drunken noodles is incredible (we love it with beef). The atmosphere is charming, the service is fantastic, and turnover is quick so the wait is never too long. I almost always get the Thai iced tea when I go as well. For dessert, I tried the mango w/ sweet rice on a whim, and it just absolutely blew me away. All in all, I can't say I've ever once been disappointed in my experiences at Thai Arroy, and it's hard to go wrong despite the large number of options!

Katy S.

This place is great. The first time I went here it was on a whim after class, and just used my fellow yelpers suggestions. We got there right when they open for dinner, and I got the fried tofu for starters and the drunken noodles with chicken. The fried tofu came with this really tasty sweet/spicy sauce, and the drunken noodles was awesome, but not as spicy as the menu suggested. The next time I went with the same group of girls right after they were announced best Thai food in Baltimore for 2010, so it was packed. The place is small, but I found out that night that it's BYOB, which is nice b/c there's a liquor store about a block away. This time I got the red curry and it was so much food I couldn't finish, but it had that right amount of spice that kind of tickles your throat. The restaurant is a little small, but the service is fast and the staff is really nice. I haven't tried much of the other Thai food that Baltimore has to offer, but I honestly don't want to :) Also, the Charm City Circulator (purple route) goes right by the restaurant if you don't feel like trying to find parking,

If I could give a quarter star, I would. I eat out 3 or 4 times a week, and in 14 years living in Federal Hill this was hands down the worst dining experience I ever had. It was 6:15 on a Sat night, but all of the tables were empty except three--I wasn't happy I was given a table literally inside the hostess station/kitchen doorway, but I figured they wanted to save the only other two-person table in case they needed to expand for a large group. I thought--well, at least service should be fast. Wrong. Although all of the other tables had food (so in fact did the the one they gave me, the hostess shoo'd away a bus boy and his meal to put me there), it was 15 min before I was given water, 30 min before my order was taken--and my soup arrived with my main course, at around 45 min. Meanwhile, flies (I hope) nibbled at my ankles. Just after my meal arrived, two couples with their four ferral children were put next to me--the adults all on one side so they were further removed from the screaming of their ill-behaved brood than I was. The hostess came over--not to check on me, or see if they were a bother, but to interupt my meal so she could take the extra chair. Five min later she returned it, and I told her I wanted my check and a box. She never returned. After 14 min more I stood up to block the way of one of the three women dealing with the barbarian table, and repeated my request. She brought the check 10 min later--I handed her my already out credit card, wanting to escape the madhouse with a now splitting headache. She didn't take it, but turned around to begin fussing with something at the hostess station. I got up and put it in front of her. 5 more min before she returned with the credit card slip--and no pen--running off as I told her I needed a pen, but not to go get one, to bring drinks for the barbarians. I had to get up, taking the check with me, and ask them for a pen--I was ready to just leave if one didn't appear. So all in all, ignored throughout the meal, extremely long wait to order, food in wrong order, and if I hadn't insisted, I'd still be sitting next to children who were old enough to NOT be jumping on their chairs and shreiking. As it was I spent 30+ min listening to ferral children shrieking for attention from their oblivious (?drunk) parents. If this sounds fun to you, then by all means come here. The Tom Yum soup is good, but no better than places I've been to in DC and Virginia. The ma kreau was bland and overcooked. Other wise--you were warned.

Holly N.

I read the reviews expecting the best Thai, but was disappointed that it was just "good". It's an unassuming little place with good curry but definitely not knock your socks off. We ordered the scallion dumplings which were highly recommended by other yelpers: I liked the sweet, tangy sauce on them but found them VERY greasy. Shrimp roll appetizer arrived piping hot and were also good. The Mussa Pad Thai was refreshingly different in that it was a creamy mild pad thai (not dry or pasty or even peanutty)-- but a little lacking in flavor. Their green curry was good and decently hot as is. For some reason it tasted like they made it from a ready made paste (instant paste) instead of home made.... it didn't have the real "fresh herbs" taste I was hoping for. But again, it was good. I'd go back for dinner but I wasn't totally impressed. Thought the wait staff was excellent though.

Quaint Thai restaurant, even with two ppl still a long wait. Coming from NY i was initially quite unsure of all the rave reviews. Really doubtful that it can hold a candle to all the thai restaurants in NY. But it was quite good. All your standard fare was a-ok. Wasn't blown away but definitely filling and comforting on a cold night.

Den F.

I can't really say whether Thai Arroy is authentic or not since I've only had Thai food in the US... but it is DELICIOUS. I have tried many different menu items and have never been disappointed. Some things that I have tried and liked are the Drunken Noodles, the rare beef salad, their soups (tom kha and tom yum), red curry, and pineapple fried rice. Most of their food is pretty sweet. (I guess that is more suited to American taste) Their Thai iced tea is also on the sweet side. When it is in season, I recommend the MANGO WITH STICKY RICE!

My hubby and I went here to grab dinner on a Friday night. We got there a little after 6pm and it was pretty empty. But within 30 mins or so, the place was packed with people waiting outside to get in. I ordered beef see ew and shrimp tom yum soup and my husband ordered thai iced tea and red curry with chicken. The thai iced tea came out first and it was a bit sweet for our taste. My soup came out and that tasted pretty good - although there were only 2 shrimps. My beef pad see ew was too oily - I think it was due to the type of beef they used. My husband's red curry was okay - nothing spectacular. We are both used to eating authentic thai food in NY/NJ area and I've been to Thailand a few times so compare to what we are used to, this was not good. When the bill came, we were shocked that the tom yum soup was over $5!! I guess we will have to continue with our search for a to-go thai restaurant!

Sandy S.

some late night grub for my birthday last night. We got a table pretty quick. Place was abnormally quiet for a Tuesday. I enjoyed my entree however it was only 9 pm and our waitress gave us our check five minutes after receiving our food. We felt completely rushed out and unwelcome as she made us aware that restaurant closes at 10 pm and she was ready to go home as soon as We left to start her Florida Vacation! Seriously? It was 9:15 and we had eaten about four bites of our food and received our bill and boxes. Needles to say we took our time eating and even stayed a few minutes til closing. The only time she came out to check on us was to see if we had paid our bill yet. Food was very good and it was a gorgeous evening. I know waitresses get paid from patrons so I don't know how this young lady can afford to take a vacation? I would go back again but definitely earlier in the evening when I feel my money is appreciated. I may even give the owners or manager a call today to make him aware of the service we received. I heard they have a mango desert to die for but she didn't offer desert menu and we already had check five minutes into our meal. Maybe next time. 2 Stars only.

Charisse N.

Um . . . the best Thai food in Baltimore, for REALZ!! I think I've been going there for almost 3 years and have had everything on the menu. Consistent with a capital C! I can't say enough how amazing the food is. The waitstaff is dressed ever so beautifully in their silk pha sin's and keep the quick turn around just that so, no reservations are ever needed. I seem to always forget that this is a Bring Yo Own establishment, so make sure to bring yo own . . . the spices of Thai food deserve some alcohol! Be forewarned . . . if you are going on a date or just want to have a quiet dinner . . . FORGET ABOUT IT. The space is so small. And sometimes, people don't understand how to use an inside voice. But, the evil eye is a widely known and accepted hint to shut it!

An M.

We ordered take out here and wasn't sure of a milder curry, so the hostess recommended the Mussa-mun curry. We also ordered beef pad see ew, and chicken pad thai. All 4 of us were really impressed and the curry was excellent. The service was really good as well. It's right down the street from the Science Center in the Inner Harbor...I think it'll be worth the walk if you're in the mood for good Thai food.

very good thai in downtown federal hill. the food always comes out piping hot, they use spice well, it's a byob which is great, and it doesnt take forever to get your food. im a fan of the curry dishes here and the beef ka prow (sp?) is also rly good

Ruthie S.

I'm not hard to please with Thai food. However, personally, I really don't like My Thai. And this place was the second Baltimore Thai place I've tried, and it was EXCELLENTT. It's in Federal Hill, so it's a nice night scene. It's really tiny, so if you don't have a big group, come early. They take reservations Friday and Sat nights for groups of 8 or more, only at early or late times though. That's what we did, and we didn't have any problem. The parking situation is dismal-- carpool if you can! The service is nice (even for our big group), the food was DELICIOUS, and the prices were just right. Also, we really liked the atmosphere! There were a lot of Thai decorations all around the walls and shelves, including really cool wallpaper (haha). A bunch of my friends are from southeast Asia, and they were really fond of this place. They said it reminded them of home (in a good way). We forgot it was BYOB and didn't bring anything, so that was not very cool. Can't say if they charge a corking fee or not. But will definitely be coming back to this place over and over again!

Thai Arroy is a decent thai restaurant. I certainly would not hesitate to point someone who wanted Thai food in their direction. Where Thai Arroy suffers most is I used to live close to a better, cheaper Thai food place (Siri's Chef Secret in Greenbelt). It's been a while since I ate at Thai Arroy so let me say that I did like it. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. The menu is one of those daunting mix-and-match jobs and I struggled a little to find what I wanted (spicy basil). The food was good, but not a direct hit. I suspect if I went back a few times I would find a groove that would bump them up to 4 stars. I may return at some point to test that theory.

When I first moved to Baltimore and was hunting for a good Thai place, this was the place everyone raved about. The first two times I went, the food was pretty good; however in the past year, I feel like the food has gone downhill. I went w/ a group of six on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday night. I ordered the tom yum (vegetarian version) which was very good and had lots of yummy veggies. For my main entree, I ordered the Pad Thai and my other friends ordered Drunken Noodles and Pad See Ew...and we were all slightly disappointed. The Pad Thai was a bit flavorless and didn't contain enough sauce nor veggies. The Drunken Noodles was salty rather than spicy and Pad See Ew was too sweet and didn't contain any broccoli. The only highlight was the Thai iced tea. If you're desperate for a Thai place in the city, go here...but if you want a quality Thai meal...look elsewhere.

Solid, comforting, classic westernized Thai food. Incredibly nice and attentive staff. Is it innovative, 100% authentic and mind-blowing? No, it is not, but it is really solid at what it does. Go with reasonable expectations and you will be rewarded with a really pleasant experience. Ordered green curry with chicken and drunken noodles with beef. The curry chicken is made with sliced chicken breast, carrots, peas, bamboo shoots ect. but the curry was coconuty (without being too sweet), rich and well spiced. The noodles were flavorful and full of tender sliced beef. With both dishes, flavors were really nice with a hint of heat that slowly builds up. Our bill came to $24 before tax and tip. The portions were big so we walked away really full. It's a safe and easy walk from the inner harbor and a good alternative to expensive, junky chains (Cheesecake Factory/Hooters/Hard Rock ect.) if you are, like we were, staying in the area. Our expectations were low but we were hopeful and pleasantly surprised.

I love this place! Have not had any bad or un-delicious dishes here. The drunken noodles are awesome. I recommend the pineapple curry The staff is nice and friendly. Even when they are very busy, they let you know what the wait will be without being rude. If you like thai food, this is your place!

Meredith M.

FINALLY found a decent thai restaurant in Baltimore. This was our third try so we were thrilled to find pad thai that actually tasted and looked like pad thai!! Service was a bit slow and the meat a little dry, but other than that, the spices for the curry and the pad thai were excellent. Will definitely be going back there.

By far my favorite Thai in Baltimore. Try the tofu pad thai or drunken noodles.

I agree with the other posters here that Thai Arroy has the best Thai food in Baltimore. Hands down. The curries are fantastic, the service is pleasant and its BYOB. What more can you ask for?

Jesse B.

By far, Thai Arroy has the best Thai food I've found in Baltimore. It's Drunken Noodles are delicious and I love the sticky rice for dessert. It's BYOB which really makes it a great place for a delicious and affordable dinner out.

A cozy place to get your Thai fix! I ordered all the staples per usual..the pad thai, drunken noodles with beef and panang chicken and they were all delectable. Only thing I would suggest next time is a little less sodium. My mouth was extra dry after my meal and I felt like I had to chug a gallon of water, but otherwise our group of three left pretty satisfied. We also had the papaya salad as an appetizer and it was exactly as expected..spicy, tangy and fresh. It came out on a small bed of iceberg. They also included a few shrimp pieces on top which were unexpectedly large and very fresh as well. The Thai tea was sweet as it usually is at most places, so I did my usual trick of ordering an extra glass of ice and added it to the glass to tame it down a bit. Perfecto! I'll definitely be back again. Hopefully with a larger group of people next time so I will be able to try an even larger array of dishes :)

Best Thai place in Federal Hill, but unfortunately that isn't saying much. This is really just average americanized Thai. If you want something slightly better head to Mt. Vernon or ideally My Thai closer to Harbor East.

They don't take reservations except for 6 or more people so there can be a wait. Try to go before 7 on a Friday or busy Saturday night. Otherwise you can wait just like the others that think it's completely worth it. They'll stand in the hallway or squeeze in the tight space by the door. Yes it's that good. One more important thing- it's BYOB, so don't forget! I will especially rave about the Sew Ee thick rice noodles with chicken and collard greens (wish there was more). I also went out on a ledge and tried a fish dish at a Thai restaurant for the first time ever. Totally worth it...Pra Pad Pet...crispy fish fillets in an amazing sauce with green beans, tomatoes and a flavor that I have no idea how to recreate. Then you can top it off with mango and sticky rice. It's very generous serving. You better make room and eat a light or early lunch because I rolled out of from dinner completely stuffed.

Mark T.

Delicious food and very friendly staff! I recommend ordering the "num tok" (A5) appetizer if you love spicy well cooked beef. It has the right amount of chili to make you cry and still have you craving more! The "Kha Prao" (E1.a) with ground chicken is as authentic Thai as you can get. Anyone whose been to Thailand knows this is how it's done. I suggest you ask for a Thai fried egg on top of your dish if the restaurant isn't too busy. One word: delicious! Also if you've never had Thai ice tea, this is a must try. Very unique taste and becomes rather addicting.

Thai is often my favoriate pick when I go out to eat, this place is nothing special. The food was average and the service is maybe even below average. During my first visit the food came quick but after finding hair and a LADY BUG IN MY FOOD not once did the waitress or any worker offer anything but a "sorry about that." No free desert, no compensation, nothing. I would not recommend it! Thai food is a dime a dozen go somewhere where you don't have to BYOB or sit squashed with 30 others!!!

Really liked Thai Arroy. My entree was good, however, I would have liked something a bit spicier and some more guidance from our waitress when I was having trouble deciding between two dishes. We started with the fresh spring rolls and curry puffs. The spring rolls came with 2 rolls cut in half and a really good dipping sauce. The rolls tasted really fresh and were stuffed full of lovely crispy crunchy fresh veggies. The curry puffs were dense and quite delicious (2 in total) the outside was that perfectly flaky puff consistency and the cucumber peanut dipping sauce was perfect with the chick pea and potato filling (this appetizer was perfect for two people because it came with two puffs, however, with bigger groups I suggest you order multiple orders or skip entirely). My friend had the gang dang (C1), which I liked the most between hers and mine. It was the perfect amount of hot spiciness and crisp vegetables all while having the most amazing and hearty broth. I couldn't decide between the Massa-Mun (C4) and the drunkin noodles. When I asked our waitress she was no help, she just said they both are really good. It just came off as someone that had no clue. When I made the decision to go with the C4, she follows up by saying, when you are in next time try the drunken noodles, they are the best thing on the menu...WHAT?!? Did I not just ask you what you recommend of the two dishes?!? Why would you say that after I order? The menu had the really spicy icon next to the Massa-Mun, which I thought was not spicy at all, I got more coconut than anything. It was delicious don't get me wrong, just not as spicy as I would have liked. I had it with tofu and it was a generous portion of curry and steamed rice. The tofu had a nice consistency and absorbed the delicious coconuty broth so well. I really do suggest you head on over to Thai Arroy. Every food item I had was wonderful and the staff are very nice. They offered us the table by the window and it ended up being way too sunny and they were so accommodating in letting us switch seats. Will be back soon when I find myself down at the inner harbor. Love this little hidden gem away from the hustle and high wait times of the restaurants on the harbor.

Went here for the first time tonight. Everyone raves about this place, so I knew I would like it. I ordered the gang dang (c1) with chicken and it was delicious. It arrived piping hot and it was pretty spicy. The Tom Kha soup was soooo good as well. The thai iced coffee was delicious, as was the coconut ice cream. Highly recommend.

I love thai food and this is my go to in the city. The place is really cute if you want to eat in but take out is also convenient. Love the drunken noodles (extra spicy) and red curry. The sticky rice and mango is great for dessert. It's fairly priced and portions are pretty good. Highly recommend.

Richard S.

I had a half and half experience here. Friendly staff, prompt seating, nice atmosphere. The food was decent except for the rice which tasted sour. The rice has to be right or it just ruins the whole experience! I finished my meal without the rice. Honestly, that ruined the experience. Good portions and presentations but sour rice is the worst. I mentioned to the owner about the sour rice after finishing my meal. Honestly, I haven't been back since the sour rice fiasco.

Went for lunch and was not disappointed. we had to wait a little bit with our group of 5 but once we sat and ate, it was amazing. one of the best thai places in baltimore. it tastes very authentic yet unique as well. things you should try: - drunken noodles - i wish it were a little spicier, but still amazing - the curry was really good too - thai iced tea... LEGIT - mango sticky rice.. my second time trying it and wow, this one was really good. but if you don't like really sweet things, it might not be for you. So if you want really good thai food in baltimore, here it is. it's also in fed hill, which is a nice area with lots of things going on around it.

Five stars for being TOTALLY GROSS. HAIR IN MY EGG ROLL. A friend of mine Used to eat at this place all the time. I remember her telling me it was pretty decent. I say USED TO, because when we got home I called to thank her for directing me to waste my money and my appetite eating here. Come to find out SHE DOESN'T EAT FROM THIS RESTAURANT ANYMORE. Well gee, thanks for letting us know. Her last visit she was served a ROACH in her SOUP and was still made to pay for her meal and she was a regular Customer. Needless to say, I was up all night with stomach pains. This place is disgusting. I am sorry to have my very first review on Yelp be so negative however it was the reviews that made my final decision to eat here. From now on I will scroll to the bottom and read all the NOT RECOMMENDED REVIEWS FIRST.

Ellie S.

This is NOT a good place for thai in Baltimore- try Stang of Siam instead. The Tom Yum soup (which I consider myself an expert on at this point in my life) was disgusting. It tasted like soap water. My husband's drunken noodles was so greasy that is made us feel bad for the arteries to our hearts eating it. It's not that good. Local thai friends find this place gross. Always trust the locals.

This place is my current obsession! Initially, I got sucked into Thai food by the pad thai from Tara Thai so I came here to get some since I live so close, but I'm sad to say that their pad thai isn't that great so that's why I took off one star. Usually when I get it, it has this mushy texture like the noodles get stuck together and then become kinda mushy, especially when you take it home. At times, it can get a little too spicy and just doesn't seem like authentic pad thai to me. Maybe the current chef is to blame? Not sure, but I wouldn't recommend ordering it. HOWEVER, I must say that I am obsessed with their beef drunken noodles and iced thai tea. I have been ordering this on the daily and I know I should stop soon or I'll become a diabetic LOL. I have been to many establishments where they sell thai iced tea and I can say this Thai Arroy by far has the BEST thai tea. I have never been disappointed once! As for the drunken noodles, great flavor and spicy. If beef and spicy is your thing, you should give it a try! Staff is super nice!!! If I could give 4.5 stars, I would!

Came to Baltimore for Labor Day weekend with the family. (Me, hubby and two daughters 11,6) Our plan originally was to go to Thai Yum because of a groupon I got. Unfortunately, that restaurant was closed (on vacation) and we were determine to have Thai for lunch for the day. We looked around and saw Thai Arroy across the street. The minute we walked in, the waitress greeted us and we were seated immediately. Maybe due to the Orioles games and the Ohio State vs. Navy games this past weekend, most restaurants weren't too busy during game time. We started with Chicken Satay (A1) and the waitress suggested the Crispy Spring Rolls (A14). Have to say the Crispy Spring Rolls were nice and crispy, and very tasty as well. Could've had 2 more orders of it and still not enough. The sweet & sour sauce accompanying it make the rolls taste even better. For entree, we ordered the Kha Prao with Pork in garlic sauce (E1); Pad Thai with Chicken w/o peanut (N1) and Gang Luong with beef - Yellow Curry (C3). My two daughters love the yellow curry very much. They both had a whole bowl of rice because of it. Pad Thai was good even without the peanuts. The Kha Prao was just right, not too overwhelming with most garlic dish would be. Over all, the food is better than most Thai restaurants we've been to. Due to my younger daughter's nut allergy condition, the waitress made suggestions for us to considerate, and were very accommadating when ordering. With her help, we were able to try different dishes and different flavor in one sitting. This was a delightful surprise. The food was good and the service was awesome. Will definitely visit again when we are back in town.

This place absolutely saved our Thursday night! My friends and I were in town for Otakon, and all was looking well. No traffic coming in, caught our Express Bus in a timely fashion, checked in to the hotel sans issues...until the registration system failed, eating up most of the day. It had gotten to 9pm, and my girlfriend and I were starving. We had planned on heading to Thai Arroy before all went awry, so at this point I rage quit the line, gathered up our friends, and we walked over to the restaurant by about 9:20pm. The place was near empty, which the waitress mentioned was unusual for this time of the year and this time of night, as they're usually packed. I told her about the convention issues, and that there was a preseason football game going on, which would explain the lack of people. But hey, lucky us! Because not only did the food arrived in a timely fashion as she heard we were incredibly hungry, but it was all absolutely delicious! For an appetizer we split the curry puffs and the crispy spring rolls. When the curry puffs came out with a peanut dipping sauce, our waitress was happy to replace it with one without nuts to avoid allergy issues, which was greatly appreciated. I ordered the chicken drunken noodles, while my girlfriend tried their sweet and sour. My drunken noodles were some of the best I've ever had, and her sweet and sour was on point as well. Our friends went all vegetarian as that is how they roll, and their food was plentiful enough that there were leftovers for tomorrow. And even better, when we mentioned we were in town and staying in a hotel, the waitress was kind enough to bring out multiple sized containers to store our leftovers in! It was an overall pleasant experience, and I HIGHLY recommend the place to anyone who is visiting from out or town, or lives in the area. And by the way, their Thai iced tea is addictive. Yum.

We went on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was small so some people had to wait standing for seating. The food was AMAZING! I tried the Tom Kha soup with tofu. It was coconut water based and trying it for the first time made me want to get the recipe. I ordered the Khew Wan which was a spicy curry with eggplant, green peas, carrots, baby corn with the shrimp. My friend had the shrimp drunken noodle (you can never go wrong with)! Thai food is one of my favorites and this place was perfect! =P

Love Thai and loved this restaurant. Quaint place. We had fried spring rolls and noodles and curry. Sooo delicious! Only reason I didn't give five stars is because it's tiny and service was a little slow but worth wait.

Thai Arroy has changed slowly over the past few times I have been there, and not for the better. Drunken noodles were overcooked and mushy, no basil and no tomato (?!?!), no fantastic glaze on the noodles. And service was attentive but disorganized.

debbie a.

I checked this place out because of all the reviews from yelp... and I normally trust yelpers 100%, but maybe its was on off night? Service and Decor were fine... it was the food that really threw me off... I was overwhelmed with OVERLY SWEET food the whole meal. 1) Tom Yum Soup Ok, where is the hot and sour soup when I want it? This was like sugar water flavored with fish sauce and almost no heat at all.... 2) Drunken noodles not only was it too sweet, but the noodles were a soft squishy mess... 3) Prik Khing - Squid really? Does the whole dish need to taste like licorice? that is all i could taste.. it was like candy soaking in fish sauce... i was totally disappointed. Maybe I just happned to have awesome Thai Food a few days before at a dingy little hole in the wall by Ft.Meade (Bangkok Kitchen) or maybe the cook was just having an off day, but either way, I was sorely disappointed. this place is fine, but analgous of a Chinese Food Take-out for Thai food to me... Not authentic tasting and more made for American tastes or something...

A long time ago me and my family used to like eating at Thai Arroy, but in the last ten years or so the food has gone down the toilet. They fired their Thai chef and got a new one who obviously doesn't know how to cook real Thai food. The food here is too sweet and Americanized. Thai food is not supposed to be sweet at all!!! If you think this place has good Thai food, you don't know what your talking about. If you want real Thai food, go across the street to Thai Yum because they serve real good authentic Thai food. Once you've gone to Thai Yum you'll see what real Thai food tastes like in comparsion to some fake americanized Thai food at Thai Arroy. Baltimore has a few other good Thai restaurants like Ban Thai that are so underrated because people from Baltimore don't know what good ethnic food is because they are not culturally well rounded. Before you write a review saying how good Thai Arroy is, I advise you to try Thai Yum and many other Thai restaurants before and see the difference.

Best Thai food in Federal Hill....which means it is better than Thai Yum across the street. I've been to Thai Arroy a dozen times or so. I would classify their food as good, but not great. For the most part, I have a good experience here, but sometimes the food is only mediocre. Their drunken noodles are better than their pad thai. The thai iced tea is delicious and when the mango is ripe, they have the best mango sticky rice. All of their appetizers are good, including salads and soups. I've had their fried rice and curry dishes too which are good. The only issue with the food is the occasional inconsistency. Since I am local, it is one of the better places to get carry out from and their service has always been pleasant. Seating is cramped and it is very awkward getting carry out when the restaurant is crowded. No corkage fee for byob is fantastic. There is a liquor store 2 blocks south on light street for those not familiar with the area.

Jasmine W.

I absolutely love this restaurant. They have great food and huge portions that always last me two meals, if not three. Unfortunately I have not tried too much off of the menu. As far as appetizers I've tried the pasty puffs (yum) and I believe a salad? For my meal I always get one of their variations of fried rice with chicken and vegetables . It is so good I haven't felt the desire to order anything new. My boyfriend always gets drunken noodles with either chicken or beef (depending on his mood) and always enjoys it. The customer service is good too. There's always this one women there (maybe the owner or hostess) that seats people and is very genuine when asking about out satisfaction. The waiters can sometimes get busy and forget about you're existence depending on where you're sitting, but they're always pleasant. Def try it out, you will be more than satisfied!

Not Gluten Free! A friend and I went to Thai Arroy last night for dinner. While the food was delicious, it made us both sick. She is celiac and I'm gluten intolerant. We both shared the satay, the papaya salad, and the Mr Green dish (we were told by the server these were all gluten free) and both of us got sick. She got much sicker than I did - actually more sick than she's been in the past year and my stomach is quite upset. These dishes were clearly not gluten free. People who are avoiding gluten beware!

Thai Arroy is the best place of Federal Hill for Thai food. This was my third time going and it has never disappointed. I have had Curry And Spring rolls, Shrimp/Chicken, and duck Pad Thai and Drunk Noodles. All were delicious. Portions are huge, great ambiance. Went on a Sunday so wait time was nonexistent, Friday's and Saturdays can be pretty lengthy. Bonus points for BYOB! Will definitely go again.

Ashley S.

Randomly stopped by for dinner... And was pleasantly surprised! The drunken noodles were delicious.... I actually tried to go back today but they were closed :/ Ambiance inside is a bit crazy - tables are pretty crowded and there is not much room to move around. If you have a choice where to sit, definitely grab one of the tables outside. Overall, the staff was very friendly and helpful - definitely worth a stop!

Mork D.

If you're looking for a non-traditional bland experience not worth remembering, come to Thai Arroy. Imagine a Thai food line up (like the candy bar line up), this one would stand out with its lack of spice! It's still more authentic than "Thai Yum" across the street. Don't even get me started on that place.. The drunken noodle has a tasty sauce. The portions for the fried rice and pad thai noodles are large enough for 2 to 3 people to share. I ordered the green curry which was just as boring as the pad thai, much to my dismay, talk about a lack of palette imagination. At least put some pepper in there.. My Thai buddy always orders chicken for all of these dishes, because it is cheapest. I'd rather pay extra for the seafood, if I see another chicken I'll choke! I know I sound like I'm bashing the place too much, but you can't argue it's the most decent Thai (or any Asian for that matter) in the Federal Hill neighborhood which explains the crowd of yuppies standing around the narrow non-existent waiting area. Overall, just above mediocre.

Kenya D.

This is the second time around. Hoping the flavors hit gold again. Nice cold glass of thai iced tea. Peanut sauce is fair. The service is on point. Smiles and friendly servers who give great suggestions. Last time I had the Mr green without string beans adding garlic. Nice solid but light flavors delicate really. I love that they offer brown rice too.

Susie K.

The tom yuk soup is on point. Spicy and savory in all that Thai goodness. My room mates rave about the drunken noodles. I like it but I don't personally think it's the best I've ever had because it was a bit sweet for my taste. Overall it's my go to Thai place in Fed Hill. They're fast and reasonably priced. Honestly I haven't tried an extensive amount of things on the menu but I am curious enough to try
(4)
Diana A.

Not too bad! The Kao Pad rice is yummy with chicken! Chive dumplings are okay but not the greatest. Not the biggest fan of deep fried dumplings. The sauce is great though. Has a bit of a kick to it. Spring rolls are delish! Totally hit the spot!

Avi S.

This is a wonderful little thai restaurant in a nice neighborhood of Baltimore. Our server was extremely nice. We were promptly seated and our order taken. I noticed that it was a BYOB so our server kindly told us where to find some wine, took our order and said we can leave and come back. In 15 minutes we were back with a bottle of wine, and our food ready. Food was authentic and tasty. Drunken noodles were probably the best I've had in a long time. Red Curry with chicken was nicely spiced and the gravy was not too thick or thin. This is now my favorite thai place in Maryland and can't wait to go back!

Great Thai food, the Fish Gang Dang is the best curry I've had outside of Southeast Asia. BYOB makes Thai Arroy especially awesome

This is my top favorite restaurant in Federal Hill. Amazing food and friendly staff! I always try to support all local eateries in the city; so a few times, against my better judgment, I've strayed away and tried Thai Yum across the street. there is just no comparison!! Thai Arroy is the absolute best- I love their Drunken Noodles and soups. I highly recommend everyone tries this amazing place!

Looking for a satisfying vegetarian mean during Lenten season and they did not disappoint. We had a delicious tofu curry and mock duck drunken noodles. Go early in the week and it is not so crowded. Good personal service in a small, intimate place.

I feel like I've been to most of the Thai restaurants in Baltimore. Each have their own pros and cons. But overall, Thai Arroy is pretty decent. I'll start with the cons. Parking in Fed Hill is not fun, but that's to no fault of restaurant itself. Aside from that, some of the dishes here (namely, the Pad See Ew) are rather salty. Pros. Relatively large menu. The satay are larger than expected. This place is the only one I've seen offer Thai iced LEMON tea. There's good amount of kale in the Pad See Ew. The number of shrimp in the Pad Thai is impressive. Service is quick and accommodating. All in all, if I lived in Fed Hill, this would be my go-to Thai restaurant. But because I don't live in Fed Hill and because of the growing number of Thai restaurants in other neighborhoods, Thai Arroy remains only a fair play. I like Thai Arroy, so I can't discredit the number of stars for that.

Charles M.

Despite it's size, Thai Arroy makes up for it with great food. Plenty of options (I like the Chu Chee, personally) and the Sticky Rice dessert is probably the largest single serving I've ever had at ANY Thai restaurant.
(4)
Marianne P.

In short: Do yourself a favor and order Thai food from somewhere else! The only reason I gave two stars instead of one was because the spring rolls were decent. We just moved to Federal Hill a few months ago and have been enjoying all of the wonderful restaurants the area has to offer. So for a Sunday night dinner we decided to order takeout from Thai Arroy based on their reviews and rating on Yelp. Bad choice. The drunken noodles had a nice flavor but seemed like they had been cooked the day before and then reheated for our order. The spring rolls were OK. The chicken satay was disgusting as was the sticky rice that seemed like it was a week old based on how hard it was. The absolutely worst part was the rancid beef they put on our fried rice (I forget the exact name of it but its the one w/ the chili paste sauce). My husband SPIT IT OUT after chewing it for a few seconds. How a restaurant could serve beef that not looks bad but is clearly old is beyond me. I've posted a photo of it so that everyone can see what they're considering paying $$ for. We will not be ordering from here again... ever!

Graham S.

Had dinner here tonight, it was great! The waitress was very friendly and the food was brought out almost immediately. I enjoyed my meal and the lemon ginger tea was excellent. Can't remember the exact name of my entree but it was some variation of the pad Thai. Oh, and the peanut sauce was killer! Would eat here again for sure.

I found this place thanks to YELP. I am so glad I did! I was on a business trip to Bmore and I love trying non-chain local restaurant. This place exceeded all expectations . I loved it so much I came the second night. I was greeted by the owner, with a " welcome back I know you had the Drunken Noodles last night what can I recommend for you tonight?" I couldn't believe she remembered me and what I ordered!!! Btw you can't go wrong with the drunken noodles. AMAZING! The 2nd night I had Crying Tiger per her recommendation.. The beef melted in my mouth. I also had the Red Curry with chicken. CAN I PLEASE SEND SOME HOME TO LOS ANGLES??? great price, huge portions. BYOB

I have been routinely dining at Thai Arroy since I moved to Federal Hill in 2010 and can confidently say this is the go to spot for Thai in Baltimore, if not Maryland. From the outside, the restaurant looks like your common hole in the wall Asian restaurant complete with its yellow awning and dated brick facade. Upon entering, you notice the restaurant is quite cozy, give or take 15-20 2 tabletops elbow to elbow. With this being said, make sure to call ahead to check wait times or to be put on the list, as this place quickly fills up and only takes reservations for large parties (usually only permits these during off hours). Oh, and as many mentioned prior to me, its BYOB with no corkage, so come bearing your spirit of choice. On to the important stuff, the food. I have tried virtually everything on the menu ranging from their assortment of appetizers (many of times have treated 5-6 of them like tapas for dinner) to their large portion entrees. The key to great meal here is to travel outside your comfort zone. Many people, especially those who are newer to Thai, will rush right to the drunken noodles, pad thai, green curries etc. While these are great and all, I feel Thai Arroy truly shines with the off-the-beaten path items. My absolute favorite of the bunch is the Ob Woon-Sen or Thai Hot Pot. This literal "pot of gold" is a peppery dish made up of bean sprout noodles paired with veggies and your choice of protein (all entrees on TA's menu offer your choice of protein). I highly recommend pairing it with beef to give the peppery taste of the pot a good vehicle. Another highly recommended dish is the Sam Ros or crispy whole fish. With head and all, this well prepared fish is as fresh as it gets, with a light batter providing a nice crunch. All in all, highly recommend this place!

Had the drunken noodles vegan-style (no egg or fish sauce) and it was delicious. I recommend.

A friend and I went for lunch. It was very busy. We found it odd that there were no different levels of spice since it's a Thai cuisine. The food was delish and the service was great!

This place is great if you like sweet, Americanized versions of sudo-Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, I do not. As a result, extremely disappointed and I will not return. We ordered 1 dish spicy. Extremely sweet. Not a single touch of spice. No pepper or anything. Second dish we ordered extra spicy: Thai spicy. Also too sweet, but at least there was a touch of flavor. Not spicy, but flavor nonetheless. Of course this was undone by the lack of protein in the dish and the overall gummy consistency. Maybe we got this place on a bad night. But it was too expensive for the amount received and not worth a second gamble when A) both dishes were not remotely good and B) there are far better places in the area that know what authentic Thai cuisine can be. Oh, the people that work here are nice. And it's BYOB. So, it's got that at least.

I'm always so sad to give a bad review but alas it has to happen from time to time. After the rave reviews on Yelp and wanting to go in but not being able to find parking, I was so stoked to finally try it out and I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant. I'm a huge fan of Thai, especially because they can usually meet my heat tolerance on spice. I got the highly recommended drunken noodles extra spicy with shrimp and tofu. It was terrible. Like inedible. The noodles were clumped together in this sauceless glob with 3 shrimp, 4 pieces of small tofu, NO spice. It was the worst Thai meal I've ever had. My husband got some duck with pineapple dish spicy. Of course no spice and it was so sickeningly sweet that he took about four bites and was done. We were so hungry, spent $40 on this meal and we both had a total of six bites of food. We eat out a lot and neither of us have ever been this disappointed. Awful. Don't waste your money.

One of the better Thai restaurants in Baltimore. Great seafood choices! Tasty and spicy! Nice desert choices. Not many tables, so on a Friday night it can fill up as it is popular, especially with the locals.

This used to be the my go to for Thai in Baltimore. However parking in Federal Hill is a pain. And a couple newer places have opened up in Mt Vernon, and reopened just north of Harbor East. Also its a small restaurant and not great for larger parties. Still the food here is pretty good. Drunken noodles are decent, and I am a fan of their eggplant dish (Ma Keau). If you're already in Federal Hill and craving some Thai, not a bad option.

Before you come to this restaurant, scout out this place for parking as from what I saw, I believe its not easy to find a good parking. It's a decent thai restaurant. I wish the food was little spicier. I didn't like anything in particular but hated nothing as well.

BYOW? I'm in Every time I visit up North I make a point to go to Thai Arroy- such a cute place, super friendly staff, and the food is AMA-zing Not the best spot for big groups but I'm sure they can accommodate you easily enough. Bring your own wine and have a grand time!!

This Thai place rocks. I came here and was very favorably impressed.... I had the Tom Kha Talay soup to start and it was yummy. For entree, I had the Gang Dang Pra crispy fish in red curry...wow, it was so good. Seemed pretty authentic. My date had the drunken noodles. Was okay, but Po Siam in Arlington wins out on that dish.... It's a small place. But if your lucky enough to get one of the 3 tables outside, you'll enjoy. The place was packed. The one negative I would say is that when it's crowded and you're sitting inside, it can be a bit loud. I really can't wait to get back to Baltimore and try some more of their dishes.
(4)
Janet Y.

I've been to the one in Virginia Beach as well. I think the one in VA was better. The dishes were more flavorful. But The thai tea is VERY addictive. And their beef gang dang is my FAVORITE dish! I can't find another place that makes it as well as Thai Arroy.

Thai Arroy has been on my to-try list for about six years - no joke. Thai One On often wins because of parking, or Thai Restaurant for consistency and how close it is for us - and Thai Arroy just hadn't won out until we finally tried it last week. I tried a few of my Thai staples to judge them, and plan to head back to try some of the other dishes for a more complete impression of the restaurant soon. Chicken Satay - bland peanut sauce, but nice cucumber salad; unremarkable but okay chicken Crispy Spring Rolls - our least favorite dish - these are HUGE, and very greasy, and not flavorful enough to merit the grease and size. Not a fan. Chicken Massaman Curry, ordered spicy - decent, but lacking the complexity that we see in some of the other local places' curries - this was very one note and would have strongly benefited from the addition of some pineapple (like Thai Restaurant does) or other vegetables. The peanuts were also a little stale - not a pleasant flavor. In all, this was a disappointment - it hadn't lived up to the hype we'd heard from lots of other reviewers. I'll be back to try some of the other creative stir fry dishes, but.... Thai Restaurant will stay our favorite.

After visiting Thailand, I fell in love with Thai food. After visiting Thai Arroy, I asked the owners to let me live in the kitchen. They declined but that hasn't kept me out of their dining room or away from their carry out line. The food here is first rate and I'd pay 150% of what they ask for it. The BYOB policy makes for an excellent dining experience -- namely because the employees don't judge me for by $9.50 big bottle of Yellowtail -- and the outdoor dining option places Thai Arroy atop my list of options during spring, summer and fall months. The dining room is smaller, a bit cramped, and generally filled which could be considered a negative but the almost-satirically cheesy Thai decor is too charming for me to notice the young post-grads next to me on an awkward first (sober) date.

This could be the best hidden gem date place in all of Downtown Baltimore. The thai food / entire menu is ridiculously good and auethentic AND it's BYOB w/ no corkage fee --- #winning. So, go to your local wine shop, snag a bottle of gewÃ¼rztraminer, take your next date here, and enjoy. One word of caution - seating can be pretty limited and i'm 95% sure that they don't take reservations, so make sure you come at a time that's a bit later in the night or fairly early (or be prepared to stand and wait - which is totally worth it).

Gary H.

The food here is excellent. The Pad Thai was some of the best that I've ever had. I like that it's BYO Beer and Wine, and they didn't seem to take offense when we only ordered water and brought our beer. I wasn't sure if they would because it is money out of their pockets when customers don't buy their soda/tea/etc. Their prices are very reasonable, and I appreciate that the prices are largely based on the protein you choose, not the dish itself. The only thing that I would like to see improvement on is their service time. We had somewhere to be the night we went, and were seriously pushing being late by the time we left the restaurant. Hopefully this isn't the norm, but I'll know the next time I visit.

Asheley W.

Probably the best Thai food in Federal Hill. And it's consistently good. The green papaya salad could have been more flavorful but otherwise, we were very pleased with all of the items we ordered. The spring rolls and chicken satay were yummy and fresh. The panang curry was among the best I've ever had -- lighter and not overwhelmingly peanut flavored as it tends to be. I haven't tried any of the noodle dishes but will definitely do so the next time I order. I'm also a big fan of their online ordering system. Peruse the menu, add items to your cart, and indicate when you want to pick it up. Couldn't be easier.

Joe D.

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a great local thai place. I was not disappointed! I tried the kee mao, drunken noodles, for the first time based on all the many yelp reviews. It was SO good. Perfect level of spice. The noodles were firm and delicious. Tried it with beef (based on a review) and was so happy I did. Also tried the pad thai (my default) and it was very good. I always have it with chicken, it was a great portion and very tastey, good mixture. The inside is pretty crowded/loud, so Im not sure whether Ill try dining-in.

Awesome!! We ordered it takeout. Beef Drunken Noodle and chicken Pad Thai... Both were really good. I ordered the Pad Thai mild and the Drunken Noodle was suppose to be extra spicy.. Not a lot of difference but both had a nice kick. I can't wait to try more. This is definitely better than Thai Yum

Vicky D.

Favorite Thai restaurant on the East Coast (that I've tried so far). I dare say it might even be better than some places in California! Don't tell California I said that though. The drunken noodles are a MUST!!! Everything I have had there is good, including the pad thai and pad see ew. But drunken noodles are my favorite. Try them with a dark meat like duck or beef ... and if you're really daring, try the mock duck! I actually like it but I can see how it creeps people out. Anyway, it's BYOB with no corking fee. Lunch specials include a small cup of soup or a salad. It's a pretty small place though, so be prepared to wait at dinner time.
(5)
Jenny H.

Over the past year, I've come here a few times and the quality and taste is just not the same. The drunken noodles, for example, used to be ribbons of fresh noodle tossed in a great sweet, salty sauce but I think they changed the chef because they chop up the noodles now, and it's more like a chop sooey soaking up the sauce, rather than whole noodles tossed in the sauce. The curry doesn't taste the same either and everything is just not the same. It's still 4 stars for me, just not 5 anymore.

Overall: Inconsistent, but brings smiles when on. The proximity to Fed Hill park makes it a perfect dinner-wine date. _______________________________ Ambience: (4/5). Single room drowned in golden light that shines out onto crowded Light St, creating warmth despite brick, rich wood tables, and trafficked doorway. Always well-crowded, the din of conversation the one element preserving intimacy, so get there during dinner. _______________________________ Service: (2/5). Spotty at best. Late by most accounts and requests for water needed. Little experience with the menu, admissions of "I've never had that" to "not sure how it's done." No condescension, but that's all that keeps it from a 1/5. _______________________________ Drinks: (3/5). BYOB, other drinks available with decent variety. _______________________________ Food: (3/5). Sometimes it's on, and sometimes not. Stick with white meat vegetables over fatty animals for prep, and lighter curries are more solid. Best to worst. 1) Mr. Green - Consistently fresh, the garlic-heavy brown sauce is cut by broccoli texture. Order with pork or chicken and you get a balanced dish that reheats well. 2) Yellow curry with tofu - very clean, vegetables adding great lightness, and considerable spice that is cut only slightly by sticky rice. 3) Duck with panang curry - the watery panang is disappointingly un-spicy and un-textured, currently topped currently by Thai Yum, and a shadow of what Thalay Thai's was. The fatty duck, a lot of it, contrasted the texture and was hidden in the flavor. 4) Drunken Noodles - decent flavor and appropriately salty, but the noodles are mush, especially when reheated the next day.

The food remains awesome. But the table layout here is too crowded, so you will invariably dine with way too many people for your comfort level. The noise level will get loud and intolerable. Also, the parking on this section of Light Street is very often nonexistent.

Best drunken noodles I've ever had. Really good apps, too; the larb gai and the beef salad are both fantastic. Don't make the mistake and go to Thai Yum (or as my wife and I call it: "Thai Yuck"); it's wayyyyyy inferior.

Mollie C.

Was really excited to try Thai Arroy as Baltimore is lacking in Thai establishments. My boyfriend and I seek out Thai restaurants and we were really disappointed in Thai Arroy!!! I ordered the Pad See Yew - noodles were not freshly made, definitely from a package, the chicken was tough and rubbery, the sauce was not the typical pad see yew sauce, the dish was lacking in vegetables and egg, overall a bad meal. My boyfriend ordered the pineapple cashew fried rice which boasts unfresh rice, tough chicken, with average flavor, definitely nothing special. Perhaps our experience was a fluke, but I can safely say as a lover of Thai food, I will NOT be going back to Thai Arroy. Apart from the sub-par cuisine, they are overpriced. You can get much better food for less money in other cities. Hope this is helpful! If you are a true lover of Thai food, skip this place and spend your money elsewhere.

Tofu gang dang spicy is my go-to. Carry-out is the way to go most evenings (especially Fridays and Saturdays) after 7:00 or so. It's BYOB, so if you are dining in and forget, you can hit up Ole Federal Hill Liquors, which is just a few blocks south on Light Street. Thai Arroy (among a few other places) makes living in Federal Hill (Fraternal Hill or the keg stand Capitol of Baltimore City) a little more bearable.

For Baltimore, this is THE best and most authentic Thai restaurants you can land. In terms of Thai restaurants in general, it's more of a 3-star quality. Atmosphere: really authentic traditional Thai decorations - this has one of the nicer decorations I've seen for Thai restaurants I've been to. Food Recommendations: Nam Tok Appetizer: It's a grilled beef with vegetable appetizer. This one really is truly scrumptious - very fresh and light. Reminds me of the food I had in NW Laos, except that the beef is fresher and tastier here. I would highly recommend this. Yellow Curry: one of the top 3 Thai curries I've tasted in this country. The flavor is rich and just right, not too heavy or light on one thing, but nicely blended. They really know how to make a good curry. Great with chicken, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with other meats too. Pad Thai: quite good and probably the best you can get in the Northern Maryland area. Some dishes were overly abundant with carrots and onions. I would stick with the appetizers, curries, and noodles. The first two really are fantastic here. Other types of dishes are a bit more of a risk.

Definitely my preferred Thai restaurant in Baltimore. It's BYO, so that's already a plus for me! The staff are nice and attentive. The price is still a little high, but the portions are a little bigger than some other Thai restaurants in the city. There are more Thai food options, and their food is tasty! Finally, they have a taro mousse that is quite different than what we have seen. Overall, the dining experience is simply pleasant. Aside from the occasion wait (the place is small), this place is definitely worth a try!

Lucy Y.

I had been looking forward to this place and had fairly high expectations, given the reviews on here, but was pretty disappointed. I got the Kee Mao drunken noodles with seafood, and my friend had the Nam Prik Pao aka. Mr. Green. My noodles were extremely clumpy and soggy, not slippery and saucy like they should be. Flavor was okay, and the seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid) were overcooked. My friend liked his Nam Prik Pao, but it just tasted like chicken and string beans in a pretty average pepper sauce to me. My meal wasn't terrible by any means, just nothing memorable. If you are of non-Asian descent and/or don't eat Thai very frequently, you may very well enjoy this place. The ambiance looked nice, but we got take out. My friend said his meal was pretty good, so give it a try. If you have had great Thai before, skip this place or order something else.

THAI ICED TEA = BEST I EVER HAD Seriously. I was waiting, not so patiently across the street for our realtor to get his st----uff together and needed a serious caffeine fix and treat. This thai iced tea was a perfect blend for me. I like it sweet with a good dose of cream. I was a bit nervous when the server only gave me an ounce or two. How wrong I was to question her! It was a perfect balance. Unfortunately, I did not dine here so cannot speak to the food. However, if their thai iced tea is any indication ... THIS IS A GREAT PLACE.
(5)
L D.

So so so so so good for lunch, dinner, and take out. Ah, so good. (word of caution: unfortunately, i think they struggle with drunken noodles as it's a little different every time i order it, so don't make that mistake on your first time there - stick with their curries and pick-your-meat entrees, they are fantasticalicious) If you can find room in your heart to forgive that the place does not take reservations, parking is a b*tch, they add a gratuity for opening the wine bottle you brought in, and the deafening sound from the overpacked seating at dinner time will limit your conversation tremendously, you will not be disappointed. (Pick an off-time to avoid the crowds) I'm giving all 5 despite the above mentioned as a testament to how good the food is.

Definitely my go to in Baltimore. Its a 5 star in Baltimore. Great Thai Food. Probably better than most places in Baltimore that I have eaten at for Thai. Worth checking out. I really like their curry and X8 fish. Drunken noodle is awesome here. pyEAT - twice approved. My policy is 1 Star - TERRIBLE, never come back, even if Im next door. 2 Stars - whatever, tried it once, probably not again. 3 Stars - Its good. Worth going for a special. 4 Stars - Definitely worth trying out, most likely will stop by if Im around the area. 5 Stars - the best I have had and worth checking out.

Keith B.

Consistently very good, and the service is always polite. A great place to have a civilized dinner or enjoy takeout. It's small (but not too small) and cozy inside, nicely appointed, and clean. One of my favorite Thai places in Baltimore -- it's not going to be out of this world, but it's very good and reasonable for what they charge.
(4)
Lucy X.

The Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodles are very similar, so for two people I suggest to get one or the other and share, that way you can both try other dishes in addition to noodles. So if you prefer spicy then go with the Drunken Noodles, otherwise the See Ew. Both are very good, though a little on the heavy/salty side so be prepared to be thirsty! The green curry chicken is okay, the sauce is very sweet and quite tasty (because of the coconut milk they use to cook it with), and goes great with white rice. The mango sticky rice dessert isn't as good as the one at Thai House in Gaithersburg but still pretty satisfying. The Thai tea is delicious, although I wish they gave the option of adding tapioca balls because bubble tea is always better than just tea haha. Oh and I love the decor of the place, makes it feel very authentic Thai, and the staff is super friendly and nice and service is very prompt!

Michelle K.

I was going to give Thai Arroy 3 stars. The food is solid american Thai, pan fried noodles and an assortment of curries. Delicious. But two things make me love Thai Arroy one star more: online ordering, and being able to choose your spice level. Online ordering for take out is brilliant. You can put your order in at work, drive over and you food is ready for you at any time you designate, piping hot. ( thaiarroy.com ) No misunderstandings because there is no need to shout over the phone. My other favorite thing is when you order extra spicy, you will get extra spicy food. I mean enough heat to make your upper lip sweat and give you a peptic ulcer. Love it.

Nate K.

I had high expectations based on reviews... I don't think they were met based on my initial dining. I had the drunken noodles and wasn't that impressed. Sure, the noodles were cooked well and fresh (which was key). But overall, the dish was lacking in flavor, a bit bland, but it had plenty of kick.... I was left wanting more basil and some greens, maybe green peppers or green beans. I think the dish had an underwhelming presentation because of this. The basil wasn't that fresh either. :( The inside of the restaurant was small but inviting and the overall space was managed well. The service was very good and prompt. The menu had many choices and it would take 20-30 trips to try all dishes. Honestly, a bit overwhelming at first. I think I saw at least 3 different versions of pad thai.. hmm... Either way, I would come back and I think I would give the drunken noodles another try... Maybe it was just an off day. So when I do return, then I'll post an update on the results.

Is it just me, or does every Thai restaurant serve the same things? I have never had authentic Thai food and am fearful that the only way that I ever will, will be to visit Bangkok. I'm one of those weirdos who upon arriving at an ethnic restaurant, scan the menu in search of dishes made with tripe, tongue, tendon, or anything else that would make the casual diner cringe (fish collar, pork skin, chicken feet, etc). Am I being ignorant if I expect to see some of these dishes in Thai restaurants? Or should I just accept the fact that Thai food is the only Asian cuisine that doesn't use every part of the animal... The food was pretty standard. I ordered the Pork simmered in coconut milk and chili peppers with carrots and string beans. This tasted "surprisingly" similar to my girlfriends yellow curry dish. The food being as it is isn't necessarily a bad thing: I still finished my food and ordered extra rice to boot. This is the kind of food that I would love to find when I'm rummaging through the fridge at 10 pm, looking for a something to munch on while watching late night sports center. But at the same time, I wish I could find a Thai restaurant that actually served interesting food.

K Sera S.

A very unassuming store front belies a vast, almost overwhelming menu of traditional and unusual Thai dishes and curries. It's quite small, so be prepared to wait if you're going on a weekend night. And keep in mind that it's BYOB. Me, I'd say a nice Riesling to cut the spiciness. And boy, if you like it spicy, they will do it to it. If you say "native Thai," you'd best be prepared! Parking can be tough (it's in Federal Hill, so good luck!), but if you're in the mood for Thai, it's worth the aggravation.

Without a doubt, the best Thai food ever! I am absolutely obsessed with this place and eat here AT LEAST once a week. The ambiance is perfect, the green curry is divine, and it's a BYOB ... what more can you ask for. Did I mention they have outside seating?!
(5)
Liane R.

Visited for lunch on a weekday. There was a nice crowd but it wasn't overcrowded. Amazing food! My mom who doesn't eat a lot of ethnic food even enjoyed it. You can't go wrong with any of the curries; they can even modify the spiciness for you. Tofu had great consistency. Everyone else in my party had either chicken or beef in their dishes and they also raved.
(5)
Joel H.

I'll be concise. perfectly spicy curry, delicious rice and noodle dishes. fellow diners were bringing their own beverages. I found fast service, very reasonable prices, and a clean environment with beautiful mural on the wall. I'm from out of town, so more restaurants tomorrow, however I'd certainly return if I lived in the area.

Amy B.

I was so glad to find a good Thai place in our neck of the woods in Federal Hill. While I found it to be a bit pricey, you definitely get a lot of food for what you pay for. I had the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) with tofu and it was super tasty. My husband randomly tried the chu-chee with chicken and the sauce was great. I wasn't aware of the online ordering but I'll have to try that out soon! The website ( thaiarroy.com ) is nice because it has pictures of all the food, which I appreciate!

Nicely fried tofu... lots of vegetarian choices. One of the few times I've eaten somewhere where the broccoli wasn't cooked into a mush. BYOB is rather nice.

Mabel T.

i absolutely LOVE this place! best Thai food in Baltimore hands down. My favorite dishes are the pad see ew, pa nang and massaman curry, and their kao pad (fried rice). I've also had their steamed fish, which is also VERY good but kinda pricey IMO. My husband and I usually eat everything on our plates but we still ask them to box up the sauce and cook more of it at home. :) Their dishes are so authentic and full of flavor. To top it all off, it's BYOB! You can't get any better than Thai Arroy.

Emily P.

Quality Thai food in a nice setting. Go for the curries. After spending some time in Thailand I was eager to try delicious (American) Thai cuisine in Baltimore. Thai Arroy is it. The red curry was delicious; the soups were flavorful; the spring onion dumplings reminded me of street carts in Bangkok. Pad Thai was good, but not like I remembered. It's probably impossible to recreated Thai street food Pad Thai without local ingredients. So, still worth getting. Really nice staff.

Sri N.

I love Thai food and often enjoyed their excellent service and great food. However, last night take out was not even close to what I had at this place. Particularly, the drunken noodles were clumped into a ball and taste less. So the low rating, hopefully it gets better in the future. I would sure give it another try based on my previous experience.
(3)
K. K.

Almost perfect! I had red chicken curry over rice (they don't have brown rice yet), he had a fried rice type dish and tea...all really good! Love the variety of veggies too! Lunch specials during the week. Appetizers seem pricey, $3 for an egg roll? Parking wasn't too bad for the area. Will be back, can't wait to try their soups!
(4)
Jessica W.

While it may not have a unique menu, this place does the regular standby Thai dishes pretty well. It gets bonus points from this vegetarian Yelper for having mock duck as an option, when most Thai places only offer tofu/vegetable in place of meat in stir-fries, curries and noodles. (No, it doesn't taste anything like duck, but I rather like its not duck-like at all texture). The Kha Na, a sauteed dish of Chinese broccoli and mock duck (or whatever meat substance you choose) in a spicy sauce, was perfect in terms of heat. I'm not a fan of Pad Thai dishes that are really sweet, but I'll tip my hat to the Khing-Pad Thai here, which is gingery, garlicky and awesome. Service was very pleasant, and the generous portion sizes mean you've got lunch or dinner for the next day.

Our first time here - excellent lunch - even for kids! Chicken satay, dumplings, "Mr. Green" & pad Thai - nice portions with fresh, bright flavors. And the mango sticky rice is a must! Looking forward to our next visit.

Early Friday evening dinner. The service was prompt, courteous and professional. Sa tay appetizer was good. Thai iced tea was refreshing and not too sweet. I had Mussa-mun curry and it was just "okay". The sauce was runny and a little on the flat side and needed a little spice. My dining partner had Pra Pad Pet and it was outstanding. Prices were a little high for casual Thai dining but portions were large. I will definitely go back to give this place another shot.

Jennifer S.

Thai Arroy is simply my favorite Thai place in all of Baltimore. It's FANTASTIC. It's a tiny hole in the wall place but the staff there is so nice. I've eaten almost everything off the menu (as long as it's not 5-alarm-fire spicy) and it's never been anything but the best. The staff are also super nice and helpful. It's not really the best place for groups because it is so small but we have done it and the staff has been more than accomodating. It's also byob (I don't think they have their own bar) which is always fun :) When you come in you also get a huge cup of delcious warm tea. Overall, GREAT place.
(5)
Jai S.

I love love love Thai food. And this place is just ok. There are a few very well done dishes (Yellow Curry, the Mussels appetizer). But the way I judge a Thai place is by how they make their Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao). This dish is fairly bland, very little vegetables, but a decent helping of meat (your choice of beef, chicken, duck, or pork). I've had much better.

Best Thai in bmore! It's a cool lil place right on light st. In fed hill. The food is flavorful, the prices reasonable and the service is friendly! I definitely recommend the green curry. It's spicy and delicious! Also the service was very good. We had a large party for a birthday and they did their best to accommodate us despite their small dining room.

Best Thai food in Baltimore, hands down. Best Thai food I've had anywhere, for that matter. Their Drunken Noodles are the standard by which all others will forever be judged. They're often crowded and you'll probably have to wait for a table, but it's always worth it. I've never had anything here I didn't completely love. Drunken Noodles are a must. My husband and I fight contentiously over the leftovers (when we're lucky enough to have any). Yum Salad w/ beef is killer. Pineapple/Cashew Fried Rice (Raum Mit Kao Pad) is another favorite. The curries are all good (I'm partial to the green), but you can get a decent curry from a lot of places, so I tend to focus more on their other dishes.

I absolutely LOVE this place. Best Thai food I've ever had. Get the Pad Thai or the Drunken Noodles and you won't be disappointed!!

Friendly staff, neat environment and great Thai Food! This is not the best Thai food I have ever had but certainly the best in Baltimore. We ordered the Pad Thai. The flavor was great! however the noodles were a little too dry. We also ordered the Druken noodles. Also amazing flavor, a good amount of spice but also the noodles were a little to dry. Lastly we ordered the Thai iced tea. This was mediocre. The drink had promise however there was too much condensed milk and not enought Thai Tea. All in all the best bet for Thai food in Baltimore.

Though I've only been to two Thai places in Baltimore, I've been to many in my life - Thai Arroy has an impressive selection of good tasting dishes, and a good selection of different types of proteins to choose from. The location is great, especially since it has outdoor seating. The only complaint I would have is about the service - if you go when they're rushed, they're rude and unaccommodating. If you're vegan, ask for which dishes can have the fish paste/sauce left out of them. Sometimes they'll tell you you can leave it out, sometimes they'll point to two dishes that are without it naturally. Note: This restaurant is BYOB

Really delicious food, not overly expensive. Phad Thai doesn't look like much, but the plain beige pile of noodles is deceptive. The flavors are just right- a bit sweet, a bit sour, savory & delicious. Everything we've ordered has been yummy, from fish cake appetizer to beef salad to nam prik pao. Website has tons of pictures, and says you can now order online.

I'm going to preface this review by saying that I know nothing about how 'authentic' Thai food is supposed to taste. That being said, I've eaten at many, many Thai restaurants and know the difference between edible food and stuff that needs to be fed to the garbage disposal. We ordered take out and Thai Arroy was just disappointing. The fresh spring rolls were just not good. Neither of us liked them. I was extremely underwhelmed with my curry. The sauce itself was OK but the 'vegetables' were, well, awful. (You know it's bad if you would rather eat toast for dinner instead of your leftover Thai...) My friend got another curry and was happy with hers. (The third star is only because she was quite happy with the Ped Jae and this really only deserves 2.5 stars even with that.)

This place has the best Thai Food this side of the pond, in my opinion. I look forward to eating here every time I am in Baltimore. So far I haven't beed disappointed with anything on the menu.

If you love Thai this is the place for you to visit in the Baltimore area. Let's just say that you can bring your own Beer/wine here. They will chill it for you and bring you all the goodies like a loaded spice rack and the food is cooked to perfection. I would suggest the Panang (Chicken) as I would anytime ordering Thai food. I would also suggest the Pad Thai Chicken dish. The place is fairly easy to get to but parking is a bit of a pain to find but overall is worth it. I cannot wait till I visit Baltimore again!

My realtor recommended and gift card presented Thai Arroy. We loved the food. The fragrant lemon grass soup tickled our noses and the curried pa nang curled our toeses. With Thai food, I like the ability to number the level of hotness--from 1 for the faint of heart to 5 for the bold of heart to10 which could explode the heart. Because I like very spicy food, I generally go for a 6 or 7--the level at which smoke starts coming from my ears. Without the number system at Thai Arroy, I chose the starred items and asked for extra heat. That worked. Oh yes, it did. I've been back three or four times since, and Thai Arroy has been consistently good.

Best drunken noodles and pad Thai in Baltimore. Not the place to go if you're looking for summer rolls. Also the sticky fried rice with pineapple and cashews is amazing.

We went here last night with 2 friends - a party of four. We decided to do our meal family style so we could all try as much as possible. We ordered Larb Kai to start, the Drunken Noodles extra spicy, the Panang Curry spicy, a seafood curry extra spicy, and Crispy Beef mild. The larb came out relatively quickly, and was pretty good - I'd give it 3 stars. Everything else came just as we finished the larb. The Drunken Noodle was definitely the star of the show, even though it turned out to be too spicy for at least one of our eaters (and I can attest it was rather spicy - this is probably the spiciest food I've been able to order here in Maryland without doctoring it myself). The Crispy Beef was the second best, followed by the curries. I really liked the cashews on the Crispy Beef. Now, I'm a huge curry fan, and this curry was not what I expect from a Thai Restaurant. The seafood curry wasn't traditional curry anyway, so I'm mainly talking about the Panang. Now, a good Panang curry should be a bit thick with lots of peanutty flavor. This was thin like a soup, and wasn't very flavorful at all. If not for the Drunken Noodles, this place probably would have gone down to a 3 star because of this. Bangkok Kitchen on 175 makes a better Panang. Overall, a good experience. The service was really good too. I would definitely venture back to try other noodle dishes, and maybe a curry here and there.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Baltimore. The food is well cooked, spiced to appropriate desire and fresh. The small restaurant is elegantly designed and gives an inspiring ethnic feel. The rice is perfectly steamed. I really enjoy the curries. The dessert is a bit sweet for my liking, and my only knock.

Don't much care for this joint. Been there twice, and both times it was just eh. Not much to look at either. Too bad, because it would have been nice to have a good Thai rest in our neighborhood.

Very good thai food with very cool decor. Location is small, but not so cramped that you can't eat. The service can be slow at times, and you can expect to wait some time both for your food and for the check.

J C.

I don't know why, but I am not all about this place like many others. I've been a couple of times and tried both curry and noodle dishes. Their curry (I had pa nang) wasn't spicy enough and didn't have a creamy, curry-like texture (whatever that's supposed to be). Drunken noodles were way too sweet. Pad Thai did not have enough flavor. BYOB is definitely cool, but I would be sad if this was the best Thai food in town.

Gayle G.

I was pretty pleased with my lunch at Thai Arroy. I don't usually order satay, but for some reason I did and I was happy! The chicken satay here is the best I've ever had. Nicely charred and full of flavor. I liked it better without the peanut sauce which was just too peanuty for my taste. The Tom Yum Kai was ok, not great. It wasn't spicy enough for my taste. And the crispy rolls were crispy and not greasy at all. Next time, I'll have curry.

Fresh ingredients and lovely flavors. Portions are to large but prices are great. Between two people I would suggest splitting one or two appetizers and one entree. Byob and get there early, it can get busy. Try the chive dumplings and squid salad!

sam k.

so maybe i'm not sure what authentic pad see ew is supposed to taste like. i just know that the stuff i had at thai arroy tasted like someone added a cup of sugar to it while it was cooking. i know it's made with sweet soy sauce - and maybe every place i've been to in NY is making it wrong - but if this is what pad see ew is supposed to taste like, you should consider ordering it for dessert before ordering it for a meal. the boyfriend ordered chicken pad thai which had almost no flavor. came here while we were on vacation and truly bummed if this is really the best thai in baltimore. and to top it all off, we both became violently ill within about 40 minutes of eating - luckily we made it back to the hotel. on a brighter note, (maybe the reason i'm not going for 1 star?) the papaya salad was the best i'd ever had. as well as the thai iced teas. hope neither of those were what made us both sick!

Mistery M.

Lots of good vegan options. Food is decently priced! I've paid more for thai in columbia! This is fairly standard thai fare, you won't be very surprised. This is however, very good standard thai fare. Had tofu panang, chive dumpling, chinese brocolli with tofu. The chinese brocolli dish was super!

David N.

This is the BEST Thai food I have ever had. And my wife and I have been to Thailand. I can't tell you how happy I am this place is in my neighborhood. It is BYOB which is kind of awesome because we bring a big bottle of wine or beer and they are very kind to open it for you for no extra charge.

Thai Arroy is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants that I've been to. It's location on Light Street in Federal Hill is pretty convenient. The space is really small, and it's always packed, so it helps to have a reservation. It's BYOB, but there is a liquor store right across the street in case you forget. In terms of the food, I have no complaints about it. I'm not a person who is very tolerant of spicy food, but I'm definitely getting better. I generally order food with maybe two stars at the most. For appetizers, the papaya salad and the mussels are a must. And for main entrees, you can't go wrong with their drunken noodles or green curry. I thought the menu was pretty simple...just pick your protein and your form of starch. The service is excellent as well. There's only one or two waitresses, so I've gotten the same one almost every time I've been there to eat. They're all very friendly and polite. And if you ever have any questions about the menu, they're happy to oblige.

John V.

Great food for a reasonable price. I usually get the crispy duck hot pot, but there are lots of vegetarian options. Best of all, its BYOB so you can keep the bill down by bringing your own booze without a corking fee. There are two tables outside, but don't expect to get one on nice nights. Place is a little small, like 12 tables more or less so it can fill up fast. There is also carryout if there are no tables available.

Just had lunch here today with my boyfriend. The portions are really generous and the food and service is top notch. I ordered the See Ew with chicken (highly recommend!) and my boyfriend had the Pad Thai. We were pleasantly surprised when our smiley waitress informed us that lunch also comes with a side of soup or salad. We both got the soup and I have to say it's some of the best tom yum I've ever had. I'm really picky about my tom yum...so much so that I actually decided I had to learn to make it myself because so many restaurants disappointed. Not Thai Arroy! =)

For Thai cuisine, this is the best in Baltimore. I have been to a couple of other places and Thai Arroy is far superior to the competition. It is a tiny restaurant, so be prepared to wait up to 30 minutes on a Friday night, unless you have a group of 8 or more, in which case you may make a reservation. I always order the Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mow) and the Med Ma Muang, but I have also tried the ginger chicken, many of the fried rice dishes, the pad thai, and a couple of other stir-frys. I am consistently impressed with the quality of the food. The portions are reasonable for the price, the taste is amazing, and the service is great. All of the waitresses are kind, patient, and helpful. The restaurant is also very clean, and the staff is great about refilling water. If you do go, I would suggest ordering 1 less dish than the number of people in your group. For example, if there are 4 of you, only order 3 dishes to share. This is the perfect amount of food and you will be happy with the per-person cost of the meal (unless you want leftovers to take home). This is a BYOB restaurant and you just can't go wrong by dining here. I try to go at least twice a month and it is my favorite restaurant in Baltimore.

Joojeh T.

After I went here for the first time I was so blown away by the food, that I dreamed about the restaurant 3 times over the course of the next two weeks. I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu. The tofu was very well prepared and it tasted AMAZING. The perfect balance of all flavors. I also tried some of my friend's pad thai which was the best I've ever had. Ive been back multiple times and am always pleased with the food & service. The drunken noodles are so good that I can never bring myself to try another dish but one day I will venture out... and I know that it will be amazing. I've been to *many* thai restaurants in the DC metro area and this is definitely the best.

Erica S.

When I move away from Baltimore in a year and a half, the thing I will miss most (besides my friends) is Thai Arroy. This is the most delicious Thai food I have had, EVER. I am a vegetarian, so I can't attest to the meat selections but the tofu is great and the vegetarian duck is worth a try. My favorite dish is drunken noodles with tofu...I can't get enough. The fried rice is great also. The restaurant is BYOB so feel free to bring a bottle of wine or some beer to accompany your meal.

Went here for dinner last night. The food was amazing. I can wholeheardly recommend the Khing Pad Thai which is a new twist on an old favorite including ginger and lemongrass overtones. The sticky rice with mango was also a big hit. Will miss this place when I leave Baltimore.

Jane A.

Ordered take out last Saturday and were not as impressed as the first time. I had the Drunken Noodles with Beef extra spicy and my boyfriend ordered the Pad Krop with Chicken. The noodles weren't spicy at all and weren't as good as our previous visit. We both enjoyed the pad krop, however it was very heavy on the onions and my boyfriend was a little upset that his only options were chicken or pork, as he would have preferred it with beef or shrimp. We'd give it another shot but we were upset by the inconsistency and lack of spice.

Sarah P.

YUM! Awesome date experience here. My boyfriend and I came to Thai Arroy a long afternoon of climbing and our appetites were sky high. After spotting a Thai BYOB near our airbnb on Yelp, we grabbed some wine and hard cider from the liquor store nearby before arriving. Although the restaurant was busy and lively, we were able to get seated immediately inside where we could admire the beautiful wall art while savoring air conditioning. They win major veg points for offering both tofu AND vegetarian mock duck (think seitan) as protein add-ins for the curries. We ordered the Tofu Tod and the fresh spring rolls to start. For mains, he ordered the papaya salad and I chose green curry with mock duck. The food came promptly, for which we were immensely happy. I especially loved the texture and preparation of the Tofu Tod and I loved that the accompanying dipping sauce had cucumbers and onions for added crunch. My boyfriend thought the papaya salad was the best he's had in the states, which is a huge compliment! My green curry was definitely hot (as the waitress kindly warned me) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad that they didn't tone down this traditionally spicy dish at all- it tasted just like the green curries I tried in Thailand. The spice went so well with the sweet flavor of the mock duck. Awesome, awesome. If we lived in Baltimore, this would be a regular takeout spot for sure.

Vishal S.

This has been our favorite Thai restaurant in Baltimore for many years. I wish I had written reviews for this place earlier, since that would have been a 5 star review. But I have noticed this place go downhill over the past year or so. The service is the same (A-OK) but the food quality/ taste has deteriorated. Maybe an issue with the chef or something that is easy to fix coz if this trend continues, then we will have to look for a new Thai restaurant soon :( On our most recent trip, the drunken noodle was meh at best and so was the Green Curry. Plus all our dishes were warm at best. The restaurant was not very busy (75% full - which is less than normal for this place). Maybe this is a temporary phenomenon and things will turn around soon for Thai Arroy.

Alyssa S.

I started with a Thai iced tea which had good flavor but was sweeter than I am used to. When then had the Thai dumplings appetizer with the garlic soy sauce. The dumplings had great texture and the flavor was emphasized by the crushed peanuts on top, drenching the dumplings in the sauce made them amazing. My only complaint is that you get 5 dumplings, that makes it a bit difficult for sharing. Portion could have been larger as well. I had the chicken red curry which was delicious. The curry was nice and spicy and also included zucchini, my regular Thai spot does not have zucchini in their red curry but I really liked the addition. The white rice was also cooked perfectly, you'd be surprised how many restaurants can't get that right lol. The portion was generous I will definitely have enough for lunch. My friend had the chicken pad Thai, at first try I thought the peanut sauce and taste was somewhat overpowering. I think ordering the dish spicy or adding chili powder or even Sriracha sauce would have made it perfect. I will definitely return and take advantage of the BYOB policy, really good find.

Jessica R.

In Fed Hill there's two options for Thai food and they happen to be right across the street from each other. I've tried both now and Thai Arroy definitely wins in my book. I've never really been a fan of drunken noodles, but Thai Arroy has made me a believer! They do it right here! The beef is tender, the noodles are tasty and it has a nice kick to it. The panang curry is also one of the best that I've ever had. I also recently tried the Pad Krop. I opted for the pork option and it as served with cashews, basil, lettuce, scallions, onions cilantro in a spicy sauce. I'll definitely order this again next time I come. And you can't go wrong with their Thai iced teas! Our waitress was also very attentive and even boxed up my food for me (which is always nice since I'm such a klutz). I've also ordered take-out here with no issues. And don't forget the bottle of wine cuz its BYOB!

Randy G.

I now found a Thai restaurant that I will look forward to when I'm in Baltimore. It's dangerous because I'll probably not want to venture out knowing there's a good place so close to downtown. Their lunches come with a soup option so naturally I chose the Tom Yum. It's delicious, but it has an unexpected flavor, sweetness. I was taken off guard with the first spoon full in that I've never had it so sweet. It usually has more of a sour impact, but not here. Sweetness to the last drop, I didn't leave any left. Attention vegetarians! I've never seen a Thai restaurant offer other protein options other than tofu. Here, they offer fake duck meat! I couldn't believe it. I had to try it out with the Gang Dang. The curry was spiced well with a good viscosity, great fresh vegetables, and then the "duck". It's similar to most fake meats in flavor and texture, not bad for what you're trying to pull off. The amazing thing here is that they offer a second protein option for vegetarians. Take advantage of it since it's not offered in many places. My one disappointment was you only get one bowl of rice and have to pay for additional ones. Especially with a curry dish, I want to soak up all the extra curry, so use the rice sparingly. They also offer two types of pad thai, I chose the Mussa Pad Thai with Tofu; supposedly a southern style. It's the stronger peanut flavor sauce than its counter part. The sauce is pretty thick coating all the noodles and tofu very well. With the nice staff, good food, excellent location, and surprising vegetarian options, I look forward to returning.

Nicole J.

I ordered take out on a Tuesday evening and it took 20-25 minutes for a Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. The flavor was satisfactory. I wish the rice noodles weren't as overcooked. The meat was plentiful although it was more like ground chicken rather than whole pieces of chicken. Although I asked for medium spicy, I got more of a mild level. You should definitely ask for a level spicier than what you actually want. For the price, it's on the high side with the total being $23. You could easily get a Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles for less at Elephant Wok in Fell's Point. Four stars for the food but three stars for the price.

Rachel L.

For Thai Food in Federal Hill, if you ask anyone they will suggest Thai Arroy and this place has been on my todo list for a while. I finally convinced my roommate (and the pickiest eater that I know) to try Thai Food for dinner and we headed over. We started our meal with the Crispy Rolls. They were spring rolls with chicken, cabbage, carrots, bean threads and served with sweet chili sauce. These were delicious and the sauce was outstanding. The crispy rolls were fried however they weren't too greasy and the sweet chili sauce was amazing. The sweetness and spice balanced well. My friend ordered the Thai Sweet and Sour. It came with pineapple, baby corn, tomatoes, onions, scallions, carrots and snow peas in lights spicy gravy sauce. She wasn't expecting a tomato-based sauce for the dish so that kind of threw her off, but she said it was packed with flavor and the chicken was deliciously tender. Everything on the menu looked delicious and I wasn't sure what to order. Based on FourSquare tips, I decided to go with the Chicken Kee Mao which were essentially drunken noodles. The dish was flat rice noodles with fresh chili, collard greens, tomatoes, egg, and fresh basil leaves. The portion was large but that didn't stop me from finishing it because it was so wonderful. Additionally the dish wasn't particularly spicy but the heat built up as I ate the dish and it was wonderful. If you're looking for a great Thai spot in Federal Hill, consider checking out Thai Arroy.

I am giving it the lowest ratings due to major health and safety concerns. I was there on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch and sat at one of the tables closest to the kitchen. Two staff members sat at another table nearby prepping the food. I was shocked and lost my appetite quickly as I watched the prep girl pick up a bunch of string beans off the bare floor for snipping the ends before sending it to the kitchen to be cooked up and served to unsuspecting customers. Hygiene nightmare!

Easily a 5 star grade for me as their drunken noodles is to die for! Seriously, the flavors of this restaurant is just too authentic to give a rate below 5. For appetizer, their mussels are the best if you like spicy soup that will de clog your sinuses! Big mussels serve in a small pot loaded with basil and flavor. The Thai dumpling is crazy good! Mix of chicken and shrimp with roasted nuts on top and a very tangy sauce! Dumplings are packed and biggest size I've seen more than usually serve anywhere else in Bmore. We also tried Som Tum Thai (Julienne green papaya, shrimp, peanuts, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, chili and lime juice.) this reminds me of a dish my mom makes. A bit spicy but the grilled shrimp tops it off with amazing flavor as the green papaya does too. The drunken noodles I've tasted both with beef and other time I ordered with seafood mix. You couldn't go wrong with any of the two but I think the beef goes better with it. The noodles are chewy and I can't stop eating it!!! The crabmeat fried rice is well seasoned and I've had crabmeat fried rice elsewhere but none have the same amount of crabmeat like Thai arroy has! The duck dish my fiancÃ©e ordered paired well with the crabmeat fried rice. For desserts, I tried the fried banana with coconut ice cream and of course it was delightful! Amazing food plus it's BYOB! Love this place.

Brandi P.

Was told that Thai Arroy is the best place in Baltimore City to get Thai food, but I think I'm gonna have to disagree. Don't get me wrong.. I don't think the food is bad, but I also don't find it overly appealing that I would trek my way across the city to grab a plate of Pad Thai for myself. I've actually found that the Pad Thai I order from a small hole-in-the-wall in Little Italy to be better overall. Essentially, I think the portions at Thai Arroy are small, the flavor.. just ok, and the time to get the order out to the table a bit slowwww, especially when there weren't any other patrons in the establishment. Oh well... it was worth a shot.

FABULOUS Thai food! I live in California and was quite skeptical of the quality of Thai food I'd find in Baltimore. Best Thai food I've ever had! I'll now be disappointed anytime I have Thai food in California, wishing it was as good as Thai Arroy's!!

Luis P.

I mean, yeah the food is kinda bomb. It's a cute little place where there's a second floor. That's fine even though stairs are my biggest nemesis. I ordered some hella good pad see ew (however that's pronounced) and asked for some peanuts to be slowly roasted and crushed to be sprinkled over my meal with love cause #LoveWins. Nevertheless, the food was excellent, and the napkins were wonderfully and intricately folded that I did not unfold and never dared use it. It's safe to say I was a bit messy that meal. I will return, definitely. And then again and again. Until I finally understand how those napkins were folded. Hmm. Can I afford that? I dunno. This is good, but the prices are a little high. So like...

Food: I would give it four stars It's a solid choice for thai food in baltimore. They do most things well, and I haven't been disappointed. My personal favorite is their Drunken Noodle. It's BYOB, which is also a big perk as well. Cost: Also four stars Lunch specials are good for its money. The reason why I can't give it more than four stars...the service. I don't know if it wasn't staffed well when I went, but it took us about 35-40 minutes to get our food. No joke. The poor waitress was so sweet though and apologized a million times. But it was a random weekday, the restaurant wasn't too crowded, so I can't figure out the reason as to why it took us so long.

Kirk S.

Thai Arroy is straight-up decent. I ordered their "Mussa-man" (Massaman) curry on a whim and was pretty satisfied. The curry itself was a bit sparse - it was mostly onion with some decent-but-not-amazing beef and like three pitiful pieces of potato. The rice was well cooked, which isn't surprising, but was served in a Styrofoam container that made it rather difficult to eat. The meal was ultimately tasty, but still a bit underwhelming. The interior, of what I saw of it, was okay. Like many restaurants in Baltimore, it's crowded and a bit old, but that adds character. It was quite busy, so I imagine there's a dedicated clientele. All the same, all I can say is that it was decent.

The dumplings had great texture and the flavor was emphasized by the crushed peanuts on top, drenching the dumplings in the sauce made them amazing. My only complaint is that you get 5 dumplings, that makes it a bit difficult for sharing. Portion could have been larger as well. I had the chicken red curry which was delicious. The curry was nice and spicy and also included zucchini, my regular Thai spot does not have zucchini in their red curry but I really liked the addition. The white rice was also cooked perfectly, you'd be surprised how many restaurants can't get that right lol. The portion was generous I will definitely have enough for lunch. My friend had the chicken pad Thai, at first try I thought the peanut sauce and taste was somewhat overpowering. I think ordering the dish spicy or adding chili powder or even Sriracha sauce would have made it perfect. I will definitely return and take advantage of the BYOB policy, really good find.

In Fed Hill there's two options for Thai food and they happen to be right across the street from each other. I've tried both now and Thai Arroy definitely wins in my book. I've never really been a fan of drunken noodles, but Thai Arroy has made me a believer! They do it right here! The beef is tender, the noodles are tasty and it has a nice kick to it. The panang curry is also one of the best that I've ever had. I also recently tried the Pad Krop. I opted for the pork option and it as served with cashews, basil, lettuce, scallions, onions cilantro in a spicy sauce. I'll definitely order this again next time I come. And you can't go wrong with their Thai iced teas! Our waitress was also very attentive and even boxed up my food for me (which is always nice since I'm such a klutz). I've also ordered take-out here with no issues. And don't forget the bottle of wine cuz its BYOB!

I now found a Thai restaurant that I will look forward to when I'm in Baltimore. It's dangerous because I'll probably not want to venture out knowing there's a good place so close to downtown. Their lunches come with a soup option so naturally I chose the Tom Yum. It's delicious, but it has an unexpected flavor, sweetness. I was taken off guard with the first spoon full in that I've never had it so sweet. It usually has more of a sour impact, but not here. Sweetness to the last drop, I didn't leave any left. Attention vegetarians! I've never seen a Thai restaurant offer other protein options other than tofu. Here, they offer fake duck meat! I couldn't believe it. I had to try it out with the Gang Dang. The curry was spiced well with a good viscosity, great fresh vegetables, and then the "duck". It's similar to most fake meats in flavor and texture, not bad for what you're trying to pull off. The amazing thing here is that they offer a second protein option for vegetarians. Take advantage of it since it's not offered in many places. My one disappointment was you only get one bowl of rice and have to pay for additional ones. Especially with a curry dish, I want to soak up all the extra curry, so use the rice sparingly. They also offer two types of pad thai, I chose the Mussa Pad Thai with Tofu; supposedly a southern style. It's the stronger peanut flavor sauce than its counter part. The sauce is pretty thick coating all the noodles and tofu very well. With the nice staff, good food, excellent location, and surprising vegetarian options, I look forward to returning.

Ordered take out last Saturday and were not as impressed as the first time. I had the Drunken Noodles with Beef extra spicy and my boyfriend ordered the Pad Krop with Chicken. The noodles weren't spicy at all and weren't as good as our previous visit. We both enjoyed the pad krop, however it was very heavy on the onions and my boyfriend was a little upset that his only options were chicken or pork, as he would have preferred it with beef or shrimp. We'd give it another shot but we were upset by the inconsistency and lack of spice.

For Thai Food in Federal Hill, if you ask anyone they will suggest Thai Arroy and this place has been on my todo list for a while. I finally convinced my roommate (and the pickiest eater that I know) to try Thai Food for dinner and we headed over. We started our meal with the Crispy Rolls. They were spring rolls with chicken, cabbage, carrots, bean threads and served with sweet chili sauce. These were delicious and the sauce was outstanding. The crispy rolls were fried however they weren't too greasy and the sweet chili sauce was amazing. The sweetness and spice balanced well. My friend ordered the Thai Sweet and Sour. It came with pineapple, baby corn, tomatoes, onions, scallions, carrots and snow peas in lights spicy gravy sauce. She wasn't expecting a tomato-based sauce for the dish so that kind of threw her off, but she said it was packed with flavor and the chicken was deliciously tender. Everything on the menu looked delicious and I wasn't sure what to order. Based on FourSquare tips, I decided to go with the Chicken Kee Mao which were essentially drunken noodles. The dish was flat rice noodles with fresh chili, collard greens, tomatoes, egg, and fresh basil leaves. The portion was large but that didn't stop me from finishing it because it was so wonderful. Additionally the dish wasn't particularly spicy but the heat built up as I ate the dish and it was wonderful. If you're looking for a great Thai spot in Federal Hill, consider checking out Thai Arroy.

I am giving it the lowest ratings due to major health and safety concerns. I was there on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch and sat at one of the tables closest to the kitchen. Two staff members sat at another table nearby prepping the food. I was shocked and lost my appetite quickly as I watched the prep girl pick up a bunch of string beans off the bare floor for snipping the ends before sending it to the kitchen to be cooked up and served to unsuspecting customers. Hygiene nightmare!

Easily a 5 star grade for me as their drunken noodles is to die for! Seriously, the flavors of this restaurant is just too authentic to give a rate below 5. For appetizer, their mussels are the best if you like spicy soup that will de clog your sinuses! Big mussels serve in a small pot loaded with basil and flavor. The Thai dumpling is crazy good! Mix of chicken and shrimp with roasted nuts on top and a very tangy sauce! Dumplings are packed and biggest size I've seen more than usually serve anywhere else in Bmore. We also tried Som Tum Thai (Julienne green papaya, shrimp, peanuts, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, chili and lime juice.) this reminds me of a dish my mom makes. A bit spicy but the grilled shrimp tops it off with amazing flavor as the green papaya does too. The drunken noodles I've tasted both with beef and other time I ordered with seafood mix. You couldn't go wrong with any of the two but I think the beef goes better with it. The noodles are chewy and I can't stop eating it!!! The crabmeat fried rice is well seasoned and I've had crabmeat fried rice elsewhere but none have the same amount of crabmeat like Thai arroy has! The duck dish my fiancÃ©e ordered paired well with the crabmeat fried rice. For desserts, I tried the fried banana with coconut ice cream and of course it was delightful! Amazing food plus it's BYOB! Love this place.

Was told that Thai Arroy is the best place in Baltimore City to get Thai food, but I think I'm gonna have to disagree. Don't get me wrong.. I don't think the food is bad, but I also don't find it overly appealing that I would trek my way across the city to grab a plate of Pad Thai for myself. I've actually found that the Pad Thai I order from a small hole-in-the-wall in Little Italy to be better overall. Essentially, I think the portions at Thai Arroy are small, the flavor.. just ok, and the time to get the order out to the table a bit slowwww, especially when there weren't any other patrons in the establishment. Oh well... it was worth a shot.

FABULOUS Thai food! I live in California and was quite skeptical of the quality of Thai food I'd find in Baltimore. Best Thai food I've ever had! I'll now be disappointed anytime I have Thai food in California, wishing it was as good as Thai Arroy's!!

I mean, yeah the food is kinda bomb. It's a cute little place where there's a second floor. That's fine even though stairs are my biggest nemesis. I ordered some hella good pad see ew (however that's pronounced) and asked for some peanuts to be slowly roasted and crushed to be sprinkled over my meal with love cause #LoveWins. Nevertheless, the food was excellent, and the napkins were wonderfully and intricately folded that I did not unfold and never dared use it. It's safe to say I was a bit messy that meal. I will return, definitely. And then again and again. Until I finally understand how those napkins were folded. Hmm. Can I afford that? I dunno. This is good, but the prices are a little high. So like...

Food: I would give it four stars It's a solid choice for thai food in baltimore. They do most things well, and I haven't been disappointed. My personal favorite is their Drunken Noodle. It's BYOB, which is also a big perk as well. Cost: Also four stars Lunch specials are good for its money. The reason why I can't give it more than four stars...the service. I don't know if it wasn't staffed well when I went, but it took us about 35-40 minutes to get our food. No joke. The poor waitress was so sweet though and apologized a million times. But it was a random weekday, the restaurant wasn't too crowded, so I can't figure out the reason as to why it took us so long.

Thai Arroy is straight-up decent. I ordered their "Mussa-man" (Massaman) curry on a whim and was pretty satisfied. The curry itself was a bit sparse - it was mostly onion with some decent-but-not-amazing beef and like three pitiful pieces of potato. The rice was well cooked, which isn't surprising, but was served in a Styrofoam container that made it rather difficult to eat. The meal was ultimately tasty, but still a bit underwhelming. The interior, of what I saw of it, was okay. Like many restaurants in Baltimore, it's crowded and a bit old, but that adds character. It was quite busy, so I imagine there's a dedicated clientele. All the same, all I can say is that it was decent.

I came here after hearing that they served the best pad thai in Baltimore. However, the pad thai was very sour and I immediately lost my appetite. The atmosphere is very cozy, but I would not return for the pad thai.

A cozy place to get your Thai fix! I ordered all the staples per usual..the pad thai, drunken noodles with beef and panang chicken and they were all delectable. Only thing I would suggest next time is a little less sodium. My mouth was extra dry after my meal and I felt like I had to chug a gallon of water, but otherwise our group of three left pretty satisfied. We also had the papaya salad as an appetizer and it was exactly as expected..spicy, tangy and fresh. It came out on a small bed of iceberg. They also included a few shrimp pieces on top which were unexpectedly large and very fresh as well. The Thai tea was sweet as it usually is at most places, so I did my usual trick of ordering an extra glass of ice and added it to the glass to tame it down a bit. Perfecto! I'll definitely be back again. Hopefully with a larger group of people next time so I will be able to try an even larger array of dishes :)

Best Thai place in Federal Hill, but unfortunately that isn't saying much. This is really just average americanized Thai. If you want something slightly better head to Mt. Vernon or ideally My Thai closer to Harbor East.

They don't take reservations except for 6 or more people so there can be a wait. Try to go before 7 on a Friday or busy Saturday night. Otherwise you can wait just like the others that think it's completely worth it. They'll stand in the hallway or squeeze in the tight space by the door. Yes it's that good. One more important thing- it's BYOB, so don't forget! I will especially rave about the Sew Ee thick rice noodles with chicken and collard greens (wish there was more). I also went out on a ledge and tried a fish dish at a Thai restaurant for the first time ever. Totally worth it...Pra Pad Pet...crispy fish fillets in an amazing sauce with green beans, tomatoes and a flavor that I have no idea how to recreate. Then you can top it off with mango and sticky rice. It's very generous serving. You better make room and eat a light or early lunch because I rolled out of from dinner completely stuffed.

Mark T.

Delicious food and very friendly staff! I recommend ordering the "num tok" (A5) appetizer if you love spicy well cooked beef. It has the right amount of chili to make you cry and still have you craving more! The "Kha Prao" (E1.a) with ground chicken is as authentic Thai as you can get. Anyone whose been to Thailand knows this is how it's done. I suggest you ask for a Thai fried egg on top of your dish if the restaurant isn't too busy. One word: delicious! Also if you've never had Thai ice tea, this is a must try. Very unique taste and becomes rather addicting.

Misha C.

Thai is often my favoriate pick when I go out to eat, this place is nothing special. The food was average and the service is maybe even below average. During my first visit the food came quick but after finding hair and a LADY BUG IN MY FOOD not once did the waitress or any worker offer anything but a "sorry about that." No free desert, no compensation, nothing. I would not recommend it! Thai food is a dime a dozen go somewhere where you don't have to BYOB or sit squashed with 30 others!!!

Really liked Thai Arroy. My entree was good, however, I would have liked something a bit spicier and some more guidance from our waitress when I was having trouble deciding between two dishes. We started with the fresh spring rolls and curry puffs. The spring rolls came with 2 rolls cut in half and a really good dipping sauce. The rolls tasted really fresh and were stuffed full of lovely crispy crunchy fresh veggies. The curry puffs were dense and quite delicious (2 in total) the outside was that perfectly flaky puff consistency and the cucumber peanut dipping sauce was perfect with the chick pea and potato filling (this appetizer was perfect for two people because it came with two puffs, however, with bigger groups I suggest you order multiple orders or skip entirely). My friend had the gang dang (C1), which I liked the most between hers and mine. It was the perfect amount of hot spiciness and crisp vegetables all while having the most amazing and hearty broth. I couldn't decide between the Massa-Mun (C4) and the drunkin noodles. When I asked our waitress she was no help, she just said they both are really good. It just came off as someone that had no clue. When I made the decision to go with the C4, she follows up by saying, when you are in next time try the drunken noodles, they are the best thing on the menu...WHAT?!? Did I not just ask you what you recommend of the two dishes?!? Why would you say that after I order? The menu had the really spicy icon next to the Massa-Mun, which I thought was not spicy at all, I got more coconut than anything. It was delicious don't get me wrong, just not as spicy as I would have liked. I had it with tofu and it was a generous portion of curry and steamed rice. The tofu had a nice consistency and absorbed the delicious coconuty broth so well. I really do suggest you head on over to Thai Arroy. Every food item I had was wonderful and the staff are very nice. They offered us the table by the window and it ended up being way too sunny and they were so accommodating in letting us switch seats. Will be back soon when I find myself down at the inner harbor. Love this little hidden gem away from the hustle and high wait times of the restaurants on the harbor.

Went here for the first time tonight. Everyone raves about this place, so I knew I would like it. I ordered the gang dang (c1) with chicken and it was delicious. It arrived piping hot and it was pretty spicy. The Tom Kha soup was soooo good as well. The thai iced coffee was delicious, as was the coconut ice cream. Highly recommend.

Barathi S.

I love thai food and this is my go to in the city. The place is really cute if you want to eat in but take out is also convenient. Love the drunken noodles (extra spicy) and red curry. The sticky rice and mango is great for dessert. It's fairly priced and portions are pretty good. Highly recommend.

Richard S.

I had a half and half experience here. Friendly staff, prompt seating, nice atmosphere. The food was decent except for the rice which tasted sour. The rice has to be right or it just ruins the whole experience! I finished my meal without the rice. Honestly, that ruined the experience. Good portions and presentations but sour rice is the worst. I mentioned to the owner about the sour rice after finishing my meal. Honestly, I haven't been back since the sour rice fiasco.

Yong K.

Went for lunch and was not disappointed. we had to wait a little bit with our group of 5 but once we sat and ate, it was amazing. one of the best thai places in baltimore. it tastes very authentic yet unique as well. things you should try: - drunken noodles - i wish it were a little spicier, but still amazing - the curry was really good too - thai iced tea... LEGIT - mango sticky rice.. my second time trying it and wow, this one was really good. but if you don't like really sweet things, it might not be for you. So if you want really good thai food in baltimore, here it is. it's also in fed hill, which is a nice area with lots of things going on around it.

Five stars for being TOTALLY GROSS. HAIR IN MY EGG ROLL. A friend of mine Used to eat at this place all the time. I remember her telling me it was pretty decent. I say USED TO, because when we got home I called to thank her for directing me to waste my money and my appetite eating here. Come to find out SHE DOESN'T EAT FROM THIS RESTAURANT ANYMORE. Well gee, thanks for letting us know. Her last visit she was served a ROACH in her SOUP and was still made to pay for her meal and she was a regular Customer. Needless to say, I was up all night with stomach pains. This place is disgusting. I am sorry to have my very first review on Yelp be so negative however it was the reviews that made my final decision to eat here. From now on I will scroll to the bottom and read all the NOT RECOMMENDED REVIEWS FIRST.

Ellie S.

This is NOT a good place for thai in Baltimore- try Stang of Siam instead. The Tom Yum soup (which I consider myself an expert on at this point in my life) was disgusting. It tasted like soap water. My husband's drunken noodles was so greasy that is made us feel bad for the arteries to our hearts eating it. It's not that good. Local thai friends find this place gross. Always trust the locals.

Peggy K.

This place is my current obsession! Initially, I got sucked into Thai food by the pad thai from Tara Thai so I came here to get some since I live so close, but I'm sad to say that their pad thai isn't that great so that's why I took off one star. Usually when I get it, it has this mushy texture like the noodles get stuck together and then become kinda mushy, especially when you take it home. At times, it can get a little too spicy and just doesn't seem like authentic pad thai to me. Maybe the current chef is to blame? Not sure, but I wouldn't recommend ordering it. HOWEVER, I must say that I am obsessed with their beef drunken noodles and iced thai tea. I have been ordering this on the daily and I know I should stop soon or I'll become a diabetic LOL. I have been to many establishments where they sell thai iced tea and I can say this Thai Arroy by far has the BEST thai tea. I have never been disappointed once! As for the drunken noodles, great flavor and spicy. If beef and spicy is your thing, you should give it a try! Staff is super nice!!! If I could give 4.5 stars, I would!

Came to Baltimore for Labor Day weekend with the family. (Me, hubby and two daughters 11,6) Our plan originally was to go to Thai Yum because of a groupon I got. Unfortunately, that restaurant was closed (on vacation) and we were determine to have Thai for lunch for the day. We looked around and saw Thai Arroy across the street. The minute we walked in, the waitress greeted us and we were seated immediately. Maybe due to the Orioles games and the Ohio State vs. Navy games this past weekend, most restaurants weren't too busy during game time. We started with Chicken Satay (A1) and the waitress suggested the Crispy Spring Rolls (A14). Have to say the Crispy Spring Rolls were nice and crispy, and very tasty as well. Could've had 2 more orders of it and still not enough. The sweet & sour sauce accompanying it make the rolls taste even better. For entree, we ordered the Kha Prao with Pork in garlic sauce (E1); Pad Thai with Chicken w/o peanut (N1) and Gang Luong with beef - Yellow Curry (C3). My two daughters love the yellow curry very much. They both had a whole bowl of rice because of it. Pad Thai was good even without the peanuts. The Kha Prao was just right, not too overwhelming with most garlic dish would be. Over all, the food is better than most Thai restaurants we've been to. Due to my younger daughter's nut allergy condition, the waitress made suggestions for us to considerate, and were very accommadating when ordering. With her help, we were able to try different dishes and different flavor in one sitting. This was a delightful surprise. The food was good and the service was awesome. Will definitely visit again when we are back in town.

This place absolutely saved our Thursday night! My friends and I were in town for Otakon, and all was looking well. No traffic coming in, caught our Express Bus in a timely fashion, checked in to the hotel sans issues...until the registration system failed, eating up most of the day. It had gotten to 9pm, and my girlfriend and I were starving. We had planned on heading to Thai Arroy before all went awry, so at this point I rage quit the line, gathered up our friends, and we walked over to the restaurant by about 9:20pm. The place was near empty, which the waitress mentioned was unusual for this time of the year and this time of night, as they're usually packed. I told her about the convention issues, and that there was a preseason football game going on, which would explain the lack of people. But hey, lucky us! Because not only did the food arrived in a timely fashion as she heard we were incredibly hungry, but it was all absolutely delicious! For an appetizer we split the curry puffs and the crispy spring rolls. When the curry puffs came out with a peanut dipping sauce, our waitress was happy to replace it with one without nuts to avoid allergy issues, which was greatly appreciated. I ordered the chicken drunken noodles, while my girlfriend tried their sweet and sour. My drunken noodles were some of the best I've ever had, and her sweet and sour was on point as well. Our friends went all vegetarian as that is how they roll, and their food was plentiful enough that there were leftovers for tomorrow. And even better, when we mentioned we were in town and staying in a hotel, the waitress was kind enough to bring out multiple sized containers to store our leftovers in! It was an overall pleasant experience, and I HIGHLY recommend the place to anyone who is visiting from out or town, or lives in the area. And by the way, their Thai iced tea is addictive. Yum.

We went on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was small so some people had to wait standing for seating. The food was AMAZING! I tried the Tom Kha soup with tofu. It was coconut water based and trying it for the first time made me want to get the recipe. I ordered the Khew Wan which was a spicy curry with eggplant, green peas, carrots, baby corn with the shrimp. My friend had the shrimp drunken noodle (you can never go wrong with)! Thai food is one of my favorites and this place was perfect! =P

Thai Arroy has changed slowly over the past few times I have been there, and not for the better. Drunken noodles were overcooked and mushy, no basil and no tomato (?!?!), no fantastic glaze on the noodles. And service was attentive but disorganized.

debbie a.

I checked this place out because of all the reviews from yelp... and I normally trust yelpers 100%, but maybe its was on off night? Service and Decor were fine... it was the food that really threw me off... I was overwhelmed with OVERLY SWEET food the whole meal. 1) Tom Yum Soup Ok, where is the hot and sour soup when I want it? This was like sugar water flavored with fish sauce and almost no heat at all.... 2) Drunken noodles not only was it too sweet, but the noodles were a soft squishy mess... 3) Prik Khing - Squid really? Does the whole dish need to taste like licorice? that is all i could taste.. it was like candy soaking in fish sauce... i was totally disappointed. Maybe I just happned to have awesome Thai Food a few days before at a dingy little hole in the wall by Ft.Meade (Bangkok Kitchen) or maybe the cook was just having an off day, but either way, I was sorely disappointed. this place is fine, but analgous of a Chinese Food Take-out for Thai food to me... Not authentic tasting and more made for American tastes or something...

David F.

A long time ago me and my family used to like eating at Thai Arroy, but in the last ten years or so the food has gone down the toilet. They fired their Thai chef and got a new one who obviously doesn't know how to cook real Thai food. The food here is too sweet and Americanized. Thai food is not supposed to be sweet at all!!! If you think this place has good Thai food, you don't know what your talking about. If you want real Thai food, go across the street to Thai Yum because they serve real good authentic Thai food. Once you've gone to Thai Yum you'll see what real Thai food tastes like in comparsion to some fake americanized Thai food at Thai Arroy. Baltimore has a few other good Thai restaurants like Ban Thai that are so underrated because people from Baltimore don't know what good ethnic food is because they are not culturally well rounded. Before you write a review saying how good Thai Arroy is, I advise you to try Thai Yum and many other Thai restaurants before and see the difference.

Best Thai food in Federal Hill....which means it is better than Thai Yum across the street. I've been to Thai Arroy a dozen times or so. I would classify their food as good, but not great. For the most part, I have a good experience here, but sometimes the food is only mediocre. Their drunken noodles are better than their pad thai. The thai iced tea is delicious and when the mango is ripe, they have the best mango sticky rice. All of their appetizers are good, including salads and soups. I've had their fried rice and curry dishes too which are good. The only issue with the food is the occasional inconsistency. Since I am local, it is one of the better places to get carry out from and their service has always been pleasant. Seating is cramped and it is very awkward getting carry out when the restaurant is crowded. No corkage fee for byob is fantastic. There is a liquor store 2 blocks south on light street for those not familiar with the area.

Jasmine W.

I absolutely love this restaurant. They have great food and huge portions that always last me two meals, if not three. Unfortunately I have not tried too much off of the menu. As far as appetizers I've tried the pasty puffs (yum) and I believe a salad? For my meal I always get one of their variations of fried rice with chicken and vegetables . It is so good I haven't felt the desire to order anything new. My boyfriend always gets drunken noodles with either chicken or beef (depending on his mood) and always enjoys it. The customer service is good too. There's always this one women there (maybe the owner or hostess) that seats people and is very genuine when asking about out satisfaction. The waiters can sometimes get busy and forget about you're existence depending on where you're sitting, but they're always pleasant. Def try it out, you will be more than satisfied!

Not Gluten Free! A friend and I went to Thai Arroy last night for dinner. While the food was delicious, it made us both sick. She is celiac and I'm gluten intolerant. We both shared the satay, the papaya salad, and the Mr Green dish (we were told by the server these were all gluten free) and both of us got sick. She got much sicker than I did - actually more sick than she's been in the past year and my stomach is quite upset. These dishes were clearly not gluten free. People who are avoiding gluten beware!

Thai Arroy is the best place of Federal Hill for Thai food. This was my third time going and it has never disappointed. I have had Curry And Spring rolls, Shrimp/Chicken, and duck Pad Thai and Drunk Noodles. All were delicious. Portions are huge, great ambiance. Went on a Sunday so wait time was nonexistent, Friday's and Saturdays can be pretty lengthy. Bonus points for BYOB! Will definitely go again.

Ashley S.

Randomly stopped by for dinner... And was pleasantly surprised! The drunken noodles were delicious.... I actually tried to go back today but they were closed :/ Ambiance inside is a bit crazy - tables are pretty crowded and there is not much room to move around. If you have a choice where to sit, definitely grab one of the tables outside. Overall, the staff was very friendly and helpful - definitely worth a stop!

If you're looking for a non-traditional bland experience not worth remembering, come to Thai Arroy. Imagine a Thai food line up (like the candy bar line up), this one would stand out with its lack of spice! It's still more authentic than "Thai Yum" across the street. Don't even get me started on that place.. The drunken noodle has a tasty sauce. The portions for the fried rice and pad thai noodles are large enough for 2 to 3 people to share. I ordered the green curry which was just as boring as the pad thai, much to my dismay, talk about a lack of palette imagination. At least put some pepper in there.. My Thai buddy always orders chicken for all of these dishes, because it is cheapest. I'd rather pay extra for the seafood, if I see another chicken I'll choke! I know I sound like I'm bashing the place too much, but you can't argue it's the most decent Thai (or any Asian for that matter) in the Federal Hill neighborhood which explains the crowd of yuppies standing around the narrow non-existent waiting area. Overall, just above mediocre.

This is the second time around. Hoping the flavors hit gold again. Nice cold glass of thai iced tea. Peanut sauce is fair. The service is on point. Smiles and friendly servers who give great suggestions. Last time I had the Mr green without string beans adding garlic. Nice solid but light flavors delicate really. I love that they offer brown rice too.

Susie K.

The tom yuk soup is on point. Spicy and savory in all that Thai goodness. My room mates rave about the drunken noodles. I like it but I don't personally think it's the best I've ever had because it was a bit sweet for my taste. Overall it's my go to Thai place in Fed Hill. They're fast and reasonably priced. Honestly I haven't tried an extensive amount of things on the menu but I am curious enough to try

Diana A.

Not too bad! The Kao Pad rice is yummy with chicken! Chive dumplings are okay but not the greatest. Not the biggest fan of deep fried dumplings. The sauce is great though. Has a bit of a kick to it. Spring rolls are delish! Totally hit the spot!

Avi S.

This is a wonderful little thai restaurant in a nice neighborhood of Baltimore. Our server was extremely nice. We were promptly seated and our order taken. I noticed that it was a BYOB so our server kindly told us where to find some wine, took our order and said we can leave and come back. In 15 minutes we were back with a bottle of wine, and our food ready. Food was authentic and tasty. Drunken noodles were probably the best I've had in a long time. Red Curry with chicken was nicely spiced and the gravy was not too thick or thin. This is now my favorite thai place in Maryland and can't wait to go back!

Great Thai food, the Fish Gang Dang is the best curry I've had outside of Southeast Asia. BYOB makes Thai Arroy especially awesome

This is my top favorite restaurant in Federal Hill. Amazing food and friendly staff! I always try to support all local eateries in the city; so a few times, against my better judgment, I've strayed away and tried Thai Yum across the street. there is just no comparison!! Thai Arroy is the absolute best- I love their Drunken Noodles and soups. I highly recommend everyone tries this amazing place!

Looking for a satisfying vegetarian mean during Lenten season and they did not disappoint. We had a delicious tofu curry and mock duck drunken noodles. Go early in the week and it is not so crowded. Good personal service in a small, intimate place.

I feel like I've been to most of the Thai restaurants in Baltimore. Each have their own pros and cons. But overall, Thai Arroy is pretty decent. I'll start with the cons. Parking in Fed Hill is not fun, but that's to no fault of restaurant itself. Aside from that, some of the dishes here (namely, the Pad See Ew) are rather salty. Pros. Relatively large menu. The satay are larger than expected. This place is the only one I've seen offer Thai iced LEMON tea. There's good amount of kale in the Pad See Ew. The number of shrimp in the Pad Thai is impressive. Service is quick and accommodating. All in all, if I lived in Fed Hill, this would be my go-to Thai restaurant. But because I don't live in Fed Hill and because of the growing number of Thai restaurants in other neighborhoods, Thai Arroy remains only a fair play. I like Thai Arroy, so I can't discredit the number of stars for that.

Despite it's size, Thai Arroy makes up for it with great food. Plenty of options (I like the Chu Chee, personally) and the Sticky Rice dessert is probably the largest single serving I've ever had at ANY Thai restaurant.

In short: Do yourself a favor and order Thai food from somewhere else! The only reason I gave two stars instead of one was because the spring rolls were decent. We just moved to Federal Hill a few months ago and have been enjoying all of the wonderful restaurants the area has to offer. So for a Sunday night dinner we decided to order takeout from Thai Arroy based on their reviews and rating on Yelp. Bad choice. The drunken noodles had a nice flavor but seemed like they had been cooked the day before and then reheated for our order. The spring rolls were OK. The chicken satay was disgusting as was the sticky rice that seemed like it was a week old based on how hard it was. The absolutely worst part was the rancid beef they put on our fried rice (I forget the exact name of it but its the one w/ the chili paste sauce). My husband SPIT IT OUT after chewing it for a few seconds. How a restaurant could serve beef that not looks bad but is clearly old is beyond me. I've posted a photo of it so that everyone can see what they're considering paying $$ for. We will not be ordering from here again... ever!

Had dinner here tonight, it was great! The waitress was very friendly and the food was brought out almost immediately. I enjoyed my meal and the lemon ginger tea was excellent. Can't remember the exact name of my entree but it was some variation of the pad Thai. Oh, and the peanut sauce was killer! Would eat here again for sure.

I found this place thanks to YELP. I am so glad I did! I was on a business trip to Bmore and I love trying non-chain local restaurant. This place exceeded all expectations . I loved it so much I came the second night. I was greeted by the owner, with a " welcome back I know you had the Drunken Noodles last night what can I recommend for you tonight?" I couldn't believe she remembered me and what I ordered!!! Btw you can't go wrong with the drunken noodles. AMAZING! The 2nd night I had Crying Tiger per her recommendation.. The beef melted in my mouth. I also had the Red Curry with chicken. CAN I PLEASE SEND SOME HOME TO LOS ANGLES??? great price, huge portions. BYOB

They're still awesome. Treating each patron with care and respect. Ordered the basil chicken friend rice - robust, fresh flavor.

I have been routinely dining at Thai Arroy since I moved to Federal Hill in 2010 and can confidently say this is the go to spot for Thai in Baltimore, if not Maryland. From the outside, the restaurant looks like your common hole in the wall Asian restaurant complete with its yellow awning and dated brick facade. Upon entering, you notice the restaurant is quite cozy, give or take 15-20 2 tabletops elbow to elbow. With this being said, make sure to call ahead to check wait times or to be put on the list, as this place quickly fills up and only takes reservations for large parties (usually only permits these during off hours). Oh, and as many mentioned prior to me, its BYOB with no corkage, so come bearing your spirit of choice. On to the important stuff, the food. I have tried virtually everything on the menu ranging from their assortment of appetizers (many of times have treated 5-6 of them like tapas for dinner) to their large portion entrees. The key to great meal here is to travel outside your comfort zone. Many people, especially those who are newer to Thai, will rush right to the drunken noodles, pad thai, green curries etc. While these are great and all, I feel Thai Arroy truly shines with the off-the-beaten path items. My absolute favorite of the bunch is the Ob Woon-Sen or Thai Hot Pot. This literal "pot of gold" is a peppery dish made up of bean sprout noodles paired with veggies and your choice of protein (all entrees on TA's menu offer your choice of protein). I highly recommend pairing it with beef to give the peppery taste of the pot a good vehicle. Another highly recommended dish is the Sam Ros or crispy whole fish. With head and all, this well prepared fish is as fresh as it gets, with a light batter providing a nice crunch. All in all, highly recommend this place!

Had the drunken noodles vegan-style (no egg or fish sauce) and it was delicious. I recommend.

A friend and I went for lunch. It was very busy. We found it odd that there were no different levels of spice since it's a Thai cuisine. The food was delish and the service was great!

Tim Y.

This place is great if you like sweet, Americanized versions of sudo-Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, I do not. As a result, extremely disappointed and I will not return. We ordered 1 dish spicy. Extremely sweet. Not a single touch of spice. No pepper or anything. Second dish we ordered extra spicy: Thai spicy. Also too sweet, but at least there was a touch of flavor. Not spicy, but flavor nonetheless. Of course this was undone by the lack of protein in the dish and the overall gummy consistency. Maybe we got this place on a bad night. But it was too expensive for the amount received and not worth a second gamble when A) both dishes were not remotely good and B) there are far better places in the area that know what authentic Thai cuisine can be. Oh, the people that work here are nice. And it's BYOB. So, it's got that at least.

I'm always so sad to give a bad review but alas it has to happen from time to time. After the rave reviews on Yelp and wanting to go in but not being able to find parking, I was so stoked to finally try it out and I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant. I'm a huge fan of Thai, especially because they can usually meet my heat tolerance on spice. I got the highly recommended drunken noodles extra spicy with shrimp and tofu. It was terrible. Like inedible. The noodles were clumped together in this sauceless glob with 3 shrimp, 4 pieces of small tofu, NO spice. It was the worst Thai meal I've ever had. My husband got some duck with pineapple dish spicy. Of course no spice and it was so sickeningly sweet that he took about four bites and was done. We were so hungry, spent $40 on this meal and we both had a total of six bites of food. We eat out a lot and neither of us have ever been this disappointed. Awful. Don't waste your money.

One of the better Thai restaurants in Baltimore. Great seafood choices! Tasty and spicy! Nice desert choices. Not many tables, so on a Friday night it can fill up as it is popular, especially with the locals.

Jay L.

This used to be the my go to for Thai in Baltimore. However parking in Federal Hill is a pain. And a couple newer places have opened up in Mt Vernon, and reopened just north of Harbor East. Also its a small restaurant and not great for larger parties. Still the food here is pretty good. Drunken noodles are decent, and I am a fan of their eggplant dish (Ma Keau). If you're already in Federal Hill and craving some Thai, not a bad option.

zubin l.

Before you come to this restaurant, scout out this place for parking as from what I saw, I believe its not easy to find a good parking. It's a decent thai restaurant. I wish the food was little spicier. I didn't like anything in particular but hated nothing as well.

BYOW? I'm in Every time I visit up North I make a point to go to Thai Arroy- such a cute place, super friendly staff, and the food is AMA-zing Not the best spot for big groups but I'm sure they can accommodate you easily enough. Bring your own wine and have a grand time!!

Magic Mark L.

This Thai place rocks. I came here and was very favorably impressed.... I had the Tom Kha Talay soup to start and it was yummy. For entree, I had the Gang Dang Pra crispy fish in red curry...wow, it was so good. Seemed pretty authentic. My date had the drunken noodles. Was okay, but Po Siam in Arlington wins out on that dish.... It's a small place. But if your lucky enough to get one of the 3 tables outside, you'll enjoy. The place was packed. The one negative I would say is that when it's crowded and you're sitting inside, it can be a bit loud. I really can't wait to get back to Baltimore and try some more of their dishes.
(4)
Janet Y.

I've been to the one in Virginia Beach as well. I think the one in VA was better. The dishes were more flavorful. But The thai tea is VERY addictive. And their beef gang dang is my FAVORITE dish! I can't find another place that makes it as well as Thai Arroy.

Rebecca G.

Thai Arroy has been on my to-try list for about six years - no joke. Thai One On often wins because of parking, or Thai Restaurant for consistency and how close it is for us - and Thai Arroy just hadn't won out until we finally tried it last week. I tried a few of my Thai staples to judge them, and plan to head back to try some of the other dishes for a more complete impression of the restaurant soon. Chicken Satay - bland peanut sauce, but nice cucumber salad; unremarkable but okay chicken Crispy Spring Rolls - our least favorite dish - these are HUGE, and very greasy, and not flavorful enough to merit the grease and size. Not a fan. Chicken Massaman Curry, ordered spicy - decent, but lacking the complexity that we see in some of the other local places' curries - this was very one note and would have strongly benefited from the addition of some pineapple (like Thai Restaurant does) or other vegetables. The peanuts were also a little stale - not a pleasant flavor. In all, this was a disappointment - it hadn't lived up to the hype we'd heard from lots of other reviewers. I'll be back to try some of the other creative stir fry dishes, but.... Thai Restaurant will stay our favorite.

J. Burke M.

After visiting Thailand, I fell in love with Thai food. After visiting Thai Arroy, I asked the owners to let me live in the kitchen. They declined but that hasn't kept me out of their dining room or away from their carry out line. The food here is first rate and I'd pay 150% of what they ask for it. The BYOB policy makes for an excellent dining experience -- namely because the employees don't judge me for by $9.50 big bottle of Yellowtail -- and the outdoor dining option places Thai Arroy atop my list of options during spring, summer and fall months. The dining room is smaller, a bit cramped, and generally filled which could be considered a negative but the almost-satirically cheesy Thai decor is too charming for me to notice the young post-grads next to me on an awkward first (sober) date.

Tom N.

This could be the best hidden gem date place in all of Downtown Baltimore. The thai food / entire menu is ridiculously good and auethentic AND it's BYOB w/ no corkage fee --- #winning. So, go to your local wine shop, snag a bottle of gewÃ¼rztraminer, take your next date here, and enjoy. One word of caution - seating can be pretty limited and i'm 95% sure that they don't take reservations, so make sure you come at a time that's a bit later in the night or fairly early (or be prepared to stand and wait - which is totally worth it).
(5)
Gary H.

The food here is excellent. The Pad Thai was some of the best that I've ever had. I like that it's BYO Beer and Wine, and they didn't seem to take offense when we only ordered water and brought our beer. I wasn't sure if they would because it is money out of their pockets when customers don't buy their soda/tea/etc. Their prices are very reasonable, and I appreciate that the prices are largely based on the protein you choose, not the dish itself. The only thing that I would like to see improvement on is their service time. We had somewhere to be the night we went, and were seriously pushing being late by the time we left the restaurant. Hopefully this isn't the norm, but I'll know the next time I visit.

Asheley W.

Probably the best Thai food in Federal Hill. And it's consistently good. The green papaya salad could have been more flavorful but otherwise, we were very pleased with all of the items we ordered. The spring rolls and chicken satay were yummy and fresh. The panang curry was among the best I've ever had -- lighter and not overwhelmingly peanut flavored as it tends to be. I haven't tried any of the noodle dishes but will definitely do so the next time I order. I'm also a big fan of their online ordering system. Peruse the menu, add items to your cart, and indicate when you want to pick it up. Couldn't be easier.

Joe D.

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a great local thai place. I was not disappointed! I tried the kee mao, drunken noodles, for the first time based on all the many yelp reviews. It was SO good. Perfect level of spice. The noodles were firm and delicious. Tried it with beef (based on a review) and was so happy I did. Also tried the pad thai (my default) and it was very good. I always have it with chicken, it was a great portion and very tastey, good mixture. The inside is pretty crowded/loud, so Im not sure whether Ill try dining-in.

Awesome!! We ordered it takeout. Beef Drunken Noodle and chicken Pad Thai... Both were really good. I ordered the Pad Thai mild and the Drunken Noodle was suppose to be extra spicy.. Not a lot of difference but both had a nice kick. I can't wait to try more. This is definitely better than Thai Yum
(5)
Vicky D.

Favorite Thai restaurant on the East Coast (that I've tried so far). I dare say it might even be better than some places in California! Don't tell California I said that though. The drunken noodles are a MUST!!! Everything I have had there is good, including the pad thai and pad see ew. But drunken noodles are my favorite. Try them with a dark meat like duck or beef ... and if you're really daring, try the mock duck! I actually like it but I can see how it creeps people out. Anyway, it's BYOB with no corking fee. Lunch specials include a small cup of soup or a salad. It's a pretty small place though, so be prepared to wait at dinner time.
(5)
Jenny H.

Over the past year, I've come here a few times and the quality and taste is just not the same. The drunken noodles, for example, used to be ribbons of fresh noodle tossed in a great sweet, salty sauce but I think they changed the chef because they chop up the noodles now, and it's more like a chop sooey soaking up the sauce, rather than whole noodles tossed in the sauce. The curry doesn't taste the same either and everything is just not the same. It's still 4 stars for me, just not 5 anymore.

Overall: Inconsistent, but brings smiles when on. The proximity to Fed Hill park makes it a perfect dinner-wine date. _______________________________ Ambience: (4/5). Single room drowned in golden light that shines out onto crowded Light St, creating warmth despite brick, rich wood tables, and trafficked doorway. Always well-crowded, the din of conversation the one element preserving intimacy, so get there during dinner. _______________________________ Service: (2/5). Spotty at best. Late by most accounts and requests for water needed. Little experience with the menu, admissions of "I've never had that" to "not sure how it's done." No condescension, but that's all that keeps it from a 1/5. _______________________________ Drinks: (3/5). BYOB, other drinks available with decent variety. _______________________________ Food: (3/5). Sometimes it's on, and sometimes not. Stick with white meat vegetables over fatty animals for prep, and lighter curries are more solid. Best to worst. 1) Mr. Green - Consistently fresh, the garlic-heavy brown sauce is cut by broccoli texture. Order with pork or chicken and you get a balanced dish that reheats well. 2) Yellow curry with tofu - very clean, vegetables adding great lightness, and considerable spice that is cut only slightly by sticky rice. 3) Duck with panang curry - the watery panang is disappointingly un-spicy and un-textured, currently topped currently by Thai Yum, and a shadow of what Thalay Thai's was. The fatty duck, a lot of it, contrasted the texture and was hidden in the flavor. 4) Drunken Noodles - decent flavor and appropriately salty, but the noodles are mush, especially when reheated the next day.

Ulysses R.

All the right flavored and good atmosphere. Staff was keen to our needs and the portions where good. They are on the weaker side of the spicy scale, so when you ask for a 5 expect a 3.5. No worries though, just ask for the condiments. Good Thai.

I went here on a Friday night for a simple and delicious girl's night out. We got lucky time wise and got one of the last open tables before they got crazy busy. So while the table was outside, the weather was finally nice enough for that to not be an issue. I started out with their Veggie Tom Kha soup which was fantastic. Not only was it nice to see this soup offered in a vegetarian form but it had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The portion was also fantastic for the price and can easily say that the meal was off to a fantastic start. However the main entrees were lacking all around. We both got mussaman curries, mine with tofu and hers with chicken, and both of us were rather sad afterwards. Even though we both requested spicy they were very mild, with absolutely no kick. While it was nice that the sauce included whole peanuts, it tasted more like a panang curry than mussaman in that the peanut taste was the overriding flavor of the dish rather than the normal curry/peanut balance. I was also disappointed that there was no veggie version, you are required to pick a protein and while they had two veg*n friendly proteins I would have preferred one with just vegetables. The portions are smaller than other places, but it could be because the curry was just protein, potatoes, and sauce while the other places in the area include a few other vegetables. Regardless I was thrilled I had started with the soup otherwise I would have been tempted to go to Abbey's Burgers down the street and grab a milkshake (or two). The customer service was also a bit scattered, as if they were short staffed which might have been the case. Since we were outside the people waiting for tables were hovering around for the majority of our meal, and it seemed as if the servers were unsure who was to be sat next. Things got a bit awkward towards the end of our meal when waiting patrons were hovering like vultures around our table - guessing out loud how long it wound be until we were finished. Needless to say we felt pressured to get out as quickly as possible. While I'll probably give them another try if only to have their soup again - I don't see myself getting the curry again. Maybe I'll have better luck with their drunken noodles!

When I usually move somewhere or spend an extended time in one place, the first thing I yelp is "Thai". Thai Arroy was one of the highest rated places I've found and so I decided to pay the place a visit. Yes, it's BYOB, and there's a liquor store a few blocks away in case you didn't know and want to go grab a beer or a bottle of wine. As far as I could tell, there's no additional fee for drinking either. My veggie Pad See Ew was good, and my friends seemed to love their Drunken Noodles. Will prolly be back again!

Kris L.

Ever since I left, I can't stop thinking about going back. I think I had 3 dreams about this place. This is a small modest restaurant that has all the right flavors. We had a larger group here and didn't have a wait (but got here at 6pm on a thursday!) The drunken noodles are amazing sweet and spicy and were the best i've EVER had. The red curry was spot on and the crab fried rice was very seafood-y in a good way. That was def a unique dish. I will be returning and want to try other dishes, but have been craving those drunken noodles! *VOTE: best thai entrees in Baltimore!*
(5)
Elise N.

Whenever I want Thai food in Baltimore, I go to Thai Arroy. My favorite dishes are the tom yum soup and pad see ew. I used to like the drunken noodles but it seems like this dish and others have gotten much sweeter and saltier recently. Tip: If you order Thai iced tea for takeout, you can probably dilute it and it'll still taste good. Otherwise, it's too sweet. Turn one drink into three!

Gwen W.

Great joint! It's a small restaurant, but based on the waiting list, quite popular with the locals! A big group of us, 10 I think, headed for dinner there on a Friday night. I wasn't surprised we had to wait for a table - we chose to split into smaller groups, for faster seating. Thus my friend and I got seated first. A nice asian lady came and got our drink order, and gave us plenty of time to scour the menu, before coming back to take our order. She was very polite and answered any questions we had before coming to a final decision. We decided to share their Fresh Spring Rolls for an appetizer. Tasted great! The spring roll has chicken mixed with the fresh veggies, then engulfed in a very thin wrap. It came with a sweet sauce that had a bit of a spiciness to it, but not overwhelming at all. For the entree, we shared the Chicken Khing - chicken sauteed with fresh ginger, hu-nu, onion, carrots, baby corn, scallion and bean sauce. Since we both try and steer clear of hot/spicy foods, we got it mild. And, because the service was timely, we didn't even have to wait between the starter course and main dish. The Chicken Khing comes with a small bowl of steamed rice. I could surely make out the sweet ginger aroma and taste. The sauteed veggies were just-right soft, and the chicken completed the meal. Very good Thai Arroy - I'd definitely go back here, on a future trip to B'more.

Best thai food I have ever had! The pad thai, curry pup, and yellow curry are my favorite dishes there!! Also do not forget to end your dinner with the thai iced coffee!! The people that work there are extremely friendly. The owner is always there to greet you and say bye to you before you leave. This is definitely authentic thai food :) Also, the option to BYOB really adds to the whole experience. It saves you money on drinks to be able to buy more delicious food!

J. M.

I'm tiring of writing reviews for places that are almost forgettable. Memorable enough that you remember that you tried them, but forgettable enough that they're unlikely to circulate as options when you're running through a mental catalogue of places to eat. This was hyped and it ended up being all fart and no fire. I think re-branding as a cheaper cafe is probably what's best for this place so the food matches the pay-grade.

While Thai Arroys take out is sub par, their in restaurant dining experience is great. Great service, tasty food, big portions. I'll be going back to the restaurant, though I still stand by my previous and would not get take out.

Crystal P.

I love Thai food. Love, love, love - but can be picky sometimes - being a vegetarian and an admitted spice addict. I have been here twice and they pass the test. I never thought I would order duck of any kind - even if it is faux duck - but I tried their faux duck app and holy smokes - I am in love with it. It has a depth of flavor - which is what I look for in Thai food. Not just some veggies and spices thrown in a bowl of rice. Which leads me to the dish I ordered - the Prik Sod with tofu - extra, extra spicy. It was extremely flavorful and the portions were so big, I had a full leftover lunch the next day. We also had the green curry - which was really good - and curries aren't typically my favorite thing to order. I like them, but they can tend to be too soupy and bland. This was just right. Mango sticky rice to cap off the night. 4 people with app, dinners and a dessert and it was $60 - which is awesome, especially because the food was excellent. BYOB and have had great service each time. Can be crowded - but well worth the wait if there is one.

Chad W.

We had a group of 8, and everyone raved about the food. We tried a little of everything, brought several bottles of wine, and still ended up walking out with a less than $200 tab. The staff was very accommodating as well, and were able to seat our large group without an issue (we called ahead first, of course.) One of the best highlights on the table were drunken noodles. Granted, I haven't tried these before, so they might be like everywhere else, but they were delicious. I went for the softshell crab in yellow curry; the curry was some of the better that I've had. Several of us tried the fresh spring rolls; they were different than I've had before, but also better than others that I've had elsewhere. To keep it short, it's highly recommended. It's affordable, and out of the ~15 or so Thai restaurants I've been to, it's definitely top 3.

Siman H.

This place is always pack but I have tried twice and none of the dishes are outstanding based on the raved reviews. I was quite disappointed with their pad Thai. Panang curry duck, and even their appetizers. Okay food, very Americanized, not authentic for sure. Service is fine, not homey feeling. Again, on my third trial and it's absolute final (three strikes is out this place). Ordered their fried rice, worst fried rice ever in my entire life! This simple dish that they couldn't make it a decent meal. The rice is way too soft and not much flavor! Hot is mild there! Their egg roll is way too big (like a fried burrito), this is not how the Thai egg roll should be (full of cabbage and no clear noodles inside). I would give them a zero star! Those patrons need to know what a good Thai food is....
(1)
JJ J.

One of the best Thai places in Baltimore. Okay so here's the inside scoop: Best Noodle Dish: DUCK Drunken Noodles (they definitely don't skimp on the duck meat) Best Other: Green Curry (Get it with Tofu... but here's the secret tip: Ask for the STEAMED tofu, and they'll give you fresh tofu instead of the fried one. This secret also applies to the Tom Yum if you order that.) For all you healthy eaters, next time you go to Thai Arroy, follow my tofu hint and lemme know what you think! It also makes for a cheaper meal (tofu=cheaper=i'm Asian=yet i got duck($$$) so the whole thing balances out)

Christina H.

I was meeting my husband in the city for lunch and I was CRAVING some Pad Thai. I turned to Yelp and discovered Thai Arroy. The bright yellow awning made it easy to find and we parked on the street. We walked in and the place is pretty small, but very cozy. The hostess came up to us right away and seated us. From the reviews, I thought it would be busier, but I guess it is busier around dinner time. Either way, I am glad we didn't have to wait for a table! I already knew I wanted Pad Thai and after looking at the menu, I saw that I could get it with my choice of pork, beef, chicken, duck, squid, shrimp, seafood or tofu. I chose tofu. My husband had never had Thai food so I suggested the drunken noodles and he ordered his with beef. We both asked for the middle level of spiciness on our dishes. I was super hungry and luckily the food came out pretty quickly. I tried some of my husband's drunken noodles and they were delicious. He seemed to enjoy them, too. My dish was excellent! It definitely hit the spot for my Pad Thai craving and I would definitely come back again. The service was friendly, the food was great and the prices didn't break the bank.

Best Thai food ever! My boyfriend and I come here a lot, and the staff is so friendly and kind. We love the it is BYOB and always bring a bottle of wine. We have also come here with a big group, and they are very accommodating. Their chicken pad thai is amazing, fresh flavor, excellent quality. Our other favorites are, E14/ Mr. Green, drunken noodles, and yellow curry. They are very good about accommodating your spicy food tolerance. If there is a wait on a Friday or Saturday night, it is well worth it. Significantly better than it's neighbor Thai Yum! Great prices as well.

Timothy J.

Let's see if braving the madness of Light Street (ie, nonexistent parking, super tight streets, etc) was worth it...Nope! Very mediocre Thai food. I've had way better in much smaller cities. Can't believe this town doesn't have any good Thai. WTF Baltimore?!

Michelle W.

This place is solid as far as Thai food (or any sort of ethnic food) goes in Baltimore. It smells amazing. The food wasn't quite as good as it smelled. I'd have liked their Drunken Noodles to be a bit more spicy. It's supposed to be suuuuper spicy!

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's actually great. I live in NYC and this is some of the best thai i've ever had. The portions were big, the veggie pad see ew was fresh and flavorful, and the best part- the restaurant is byob. Definitely recommend it.

This place is my go-to Thai restaurant. Sometimes I will eat in, and sometimes I will take out if I just want to sit at home and enjoy this great meal. The place is BYOB/W and they are always so accommodating and friendly. The staff here is great and they are so generous with their portions. I get their chicken or shrimp pad thai (extra spicy) and their drunken noodles. SO GOOD. The portions are huge but I can finish almost the entire thing b/c it's that good. But if you're not a fatty like me, you can probably share even just 1 of them or order 2 and share those together (if you are with another person). Their thai yum soup is pretty good too and their pineapple fried rice is amazing as well. I love this place and never want to say bye to thai (arroy).

On a warm summer Baltimore evening after two Happy Hour places, we (6 people) decided to kick it up a notice and try Thai Arroy out. This area of Fed. Hill has a good number places to eat and a good variety of types of food. So we picked Thai :) :) Thai Arroy is a small place, but comes with allot of flavor. We sat outside and enjoyed the people walking about and the weather. We all ordered very different things, I can only comment on what my GF and I ordered. We started with a green papaya salad, but we asked that it be vegetarian, no fish sauce or seafood. They were super accommodating and helpful. The green papaya salad was very tasty and fresh. My only draw back was they used ice burg lettuce which kinda killed some of the taste. Overall it was killer. For our meals I ordered the Chu Chee with Kai (Chicken) it was sauteed chicken, carrots, and broc. all in a red chili paste sauce with coconut milk! The food was very tasty, bursting with flavor. The chicken and Veg's were cooked just right, chicken was very soft and moist, no dryness here. Overall the meal was top notch, they cater to your spice level, some in our group couldn't handle allot and some good and they made each dish on a separate spice level. (For all you heat heads out there, they have a 4 choice tray of hot condiments, they def kick it up a notch!) My GF ordered fried Tofu, which was very good. The tofu was crispy but not hard and yet it wasn't too soft either... I'm not a fan of the flip flan tofu that falls apart on your fork, gasp did I say fork and not chop sticks!! The rice and veg's that came with the tofu were also fresh and seasoned perfectly. Overall Thai Arroy was a hit, everyone enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere! The owner and servers were very nice, helpful and they def took care of us. I would go back in a heart beat :) Note: Thai Arroy is a BYOB place and there is liquor store a block away so even if you forget to bring something, you can easily go and grab some wine or beer (that's what we did) Heat's the name of the game...

Came here last night because a friend of mine said it was a good spot to get some Thai in Fed Hill. Due to the St. Patty's day festivities the restaurant was at capacity and we had to wait a little bit. There is virtually zero waiting room, so plan to be awkwardly confined to the 3 foot by 6 foot entryway. In all honesty, we only waited 10 minutes to be seated. We realized it was a BYOB place once we sat down and my friend went in search of a 6-pack to have with our dinner. There are plenty of liquor stores within a couple blocks, so it wasn't a huge deal. We ordered a chicken Tom-Yum soup and spring rolls. The spring rolls were like Vietnamese rolls. They were rice paper wrap, vegetables, and tofu. The sauce it came with was good. My friend's Tom-Yum soup looked good, but he complained that the serving was a little too small. For our entrees, we ordered chicken Pad Thai and shrimp Pad Se Ew. The Pad Thai looked pretty standard, and it was a normal portion size. My Pad Se Ew was good, but it was definitely a little on the sweet side. There was a good amount of shrimp, and they were big too. Portion size on the Pad Se Ew was normal as well, so I was glad that I had the spring roll appetizer to start. Service was really good. Filled up our water glasses often and came over to check on us to make sure everything was ok. They also were sure to pick up the empty bottles on the table as well. Pleasantly surprised at how prompt the service was considering there isn't much space in the restaurant and it was really crowded. The decor could use some work, but if you're coming here you're coming for the food, not to impress. The location is really good too. Had it not been a St. Patty's celebration, I could see a lot of people coming here for a quick dinner before a night out in Federal Hill. The prices were also reasonable. The pricing was listed at the top page of the menu. For example, a dish with chicken in it would be $12 and a dish with shrimp in it would be $14. This was a good way to price everything out, and allowed you to just pick your entree without having to take price into account too much. Food was fine and space could use some work. I'd come back again if I was in the area and craving some Thai.

I love their drunken noodles and chicken satay! The pad thai was equally good, but their spring rolls were definitely an order I wish I could take back- no flavor, bland. Good, quick service and overall great food :)

Diana P.

The service was great and the food was very good. Portion size may look small on the plate itself, but it gets you full really easily! I had the drunken noodle and my boyfriend had the Pad See Ew which is very similar since they use the same noodle, but the spices are very different. Drunken noodle had a lot more complicated spice combinations than the Pad See Ew so if you're into the crazy whirl of spice, i'd go with the drunken noodle. I had it with duck and they gave a good amount of it! I was very happy with the service and the food here :) Great job!

This is the best Thai we've had in Baltimore- and it's BYOB which is even better. Also, if you order take out, you can easily fill out a form online and then go to pick it up. Can't complain! I'd recommend the Tofu Tod (fried tofu) as an app. The peanut sauce is out of this world- I could dip almost anything into it. Also, I always get the pad thai with tofu. Again, I love the peanuts with it.

This is definitely the most authentic Thai place I've been to. I've been to Nooshi (DC), Thai Chef (DC), Rice (DC), and Thai Pavilion (Rockville/National Harbor) and they're definitely more American, although Thai Pavilion seems to be less so. I came up to Baltimore to watch the Grand Prix yesterday (from outside the fence since we didn't have tickets) and got treated to this place for dinner. I'm generally a fan of Thai food since it's not too spicy (they're generally really accommodating about spiciness) and it's not too sweet to the point of being nauseating. Inside, it's tiny, and it's packed! I asked if it's always this busy and my date said that it's generally way busier, so I was surprised. The staff seemed really nice and set on getting everyone's orders right, which is always good. We got the Chicken Kao Pad and Sa Tay since I'm averse to spiciness and it was really good. The peanut sauce was good - not too sweet and the Sa Tay chicken was tasty - as my date put it, chicken at other places tends to be a vehicle for peanut sauce, but this place had really good chicken. I'd definitely come back here; the only drawback was that it was LOUD. I really dislike loud places, and it couldn't be helped since there were a lot of people, but I still prefer quiet places. I'd definitely recommend it to all my friends if I knew any other people who are fans of Baltimore!

Man, I'm torn here on a place with really great service, but average food. I love great service, but I also love great food. I was with two other people. Two of the dishes were just average, however, the Pad Thai was yummy. But, I'm not a Pad Thai lover. Just not sure that I will be back.

Amanda I.

This food is fabulous. And its BYOB. I've had the spicy shrimp and broccoli, curry, drunken noodles, pad thai, and the list goes on. Appetizers are great, portions are generous of the main dish- I normally eat for 3-4 meals. Make sure you get there early or make a reservation! This spot is popular, but has every right to be.

THEY SERVE RETURNED FOOD! I went to grab my pickup order and all of the servers began speaking to each other and looked confused. One server picked up a phone and told us "Your food will be here in just a few minutes." We waited in the restaurant for 15 minutes for what we thought would be a delivery boy who may have mistakenly grabbed our food to return. A RANDOM PERSON CAME BACK IN WITH OUR FOOD. They apologized to the random and turned to give us our meals WHICHA RANDOM PERSON HAD BEEN ALONE WITH FOR 15 MINUTES. They told us they had mistakenly given him our meals AND THEN TRIED TO RING US UP FOR PAYMENT. We declined the meals and the server told us they could make us new dishes but we would have to wait 15-20 minutes. They tried to serve us food that a stranger had thought to be theirs and then had them return. Beyond disgusting and wouldn't recommend going their unless you enjoy eating someone else's dirty scraps and like to be charged for it.

Best thai food in Baltimore. The tom kha soup and drunken noodles are some of my favorites. We make a point to go here whenever we have an excuse to be in that part of the City.

Simon L.

Reason for eating? I'd been looking for a decent thai restaurant in the Baltimore area given that this was one of my favorite genres back home. Was here for lunch. Setting: Parking sucks! Part of this was because there was construction going on which caused traffic on top of narrow streets. The restaurant itself is quaint and situated nicely between many other boutiques and eateries. Thus, if you wanted to go for a walk afterwards, there's plenty to do and see. Again, just have to find parking. Rating: 2 stars. Waiters/waitresses: Service with a smile. Unfortunately, I had to repeat my order several times before finally pointing to what I wanted directly on the menu. Food was brought out hot but the waitress had forgotten what my table had ordered and ended up incorrectly arranged out dishes on the table. Rating: 1.5 stars Food: Pad Thai - unfortunately the helpings weren't that large. The food was otherwise fantastic. The dish was both sweet and salty. The consistency was somewhat compromised as the noodles were actually a little overcooked, but packed with flavor. Drink: Thai iced tea. This was probably the best part of the meal. it's always difficult finding the right mix of cream with tea. Too much cream and the drink is bland. Too much tea and the drink isn't sweet enough. They managed to get the perfect ratio. Too bad refills weren't free. Rating: 5 stars Recommendations: Definitely an eat!

This is probably my favorite place to go for Thai food. Getting a table can be a bit tough on Friday and Sat evenings as it can get pretty crowded. The place is BYOB without a bottle fee. I personally like the pad thai or drunken noodles, and find that tofu pairs well with the pad thai and beef with the drunken noodles. If you can, definitely go for lunch and try the tom yum soup. What also makes this place great is you get a huge serving of food.

Drunken Noodles with Chicken were fantastic and so were the Crisp Spring Rolls. Service was great and it's a quaint little spot. Go there... Enjoy yourself.

Ben B.

Really good! I was very impressed by the place, which is small and cozy (though it was wildly crowded on a Thursday for whatever reason). I got the drunken noodles which were drunkenly delicious. The prices were so-so, my squid noodles coming in at $12 and ending up a bit skimpy on the squid. But the servers were super friendly and everything was tasty. So it gets four.

Sarah I.

I went to this restaurant once in 2013. This is OK Thai food. We got drunken noodles and mussaman curry. This was not special at all. If you want great Thai food, I suggest Stang of Siam in Mt Vernon or the Thai Restaurant in Greenmount/Charles Village.

Mikki H.

I don't know if I just went late at night and the cooks were tired or if I'm just spoiled by the amount of amazing Thai restaurants in Southern California, but I was really surprised that this Thai restaurant got as high as a rating as it did. The place was cute, clean and in a nice area in Federal Hill. The waitresses were nice and the service was quick. The food was just okay. We ordered the Thai iced tea, pahd Thai, green curry, drunken noodles and mango with sticky rice. The Thai iced tea was good, just like any other restaurant. The noodle dishes lacked in overall flavor and I tend to judge Thai restaurants on the quality of their pahd Thai. The curry was just okay. The mango on the sticky rice was not ripe so a majority of the sweetness of the dessert came from the sticky rice. Overall, nothing to rave about which disappoints me since several reviews say this place has the best Thai food in Baltimore.

Shannon S.

My mom once said that if, "a restaurant doesn't serve alcohol, it feels like you are eating at home." I'm not sure what she meant, because there was always plenty of libations in our casa. But it stuck, I have a hard time feeling like I am out if I can't have beer with my Thai. Thai Arroy doesn't serve alcohol, but they do serve up fantastic Thai...oh, and they are BYOB! It is probably one of my favorite parts of Baltimore, and specifically Fed Hill. The only problem is that most places don't advertise that they allow patrons to port their own potables. So grab a couple of brews and try the (standards) Green Curry or Pad Thai, or be more adventurous and get the crispy (whole) fish. Like others have said, no need to say much more. Easily the best Thai in B'more. The place is small, so be aware if you have a big group.

Ashu M.

It was a debate between 4 and 5 Stars, but this is unarguably the BEST Thai food in Baltimore, and no less than anything available in the entire MD/DC/VA area! So 5 Stars it is! I wish they were a little more consistent, but we often get different proportions of curry/spice/vegetables/meats in the dishes we've ordered. Their drunken noodles (with chicken, or overloaded with vegetables, hold the tofu) are among the best I've ever had, as are their curries. And yes, they're busy on weekends, so be prepared to wait for a table! If you like it spicy (the wife and I do!), remember to ask for it, or they'll make everything really really mild (on the verge of being bland!) You can't rescue that witht he spice tray! BYOB.
(5)
R H.

This is the best Thai food we had in Baltimore area. The food is tasty and delicious, though the restaurant is a bit smallish. Finding parking is difficult during the weekend, given the Federal Hill area's popular nightlife. But once you get to the restaurant, you get a great choice of authentic Thai food. We have had pad thai, the very spicy chicken fried rice, and a tasty dish called Larb cai (ground chicken salad?). I recommend the young coconut juice they have on the beverage menu ... it's very tasty. The staff are very helpful as well. The restaurant might get crowded during lunch hours and the weekend, so arrive early.
(5)
Adrian T.

This isn't just the best Thai place in Baltimore, it's the best I've eaten short of going to Thailand. The drunken noodles, like everyone else is saying, are so so good. I like to get them with the fried tofu or the mock duck. Actually, they're good with the squid too. I've also been very happy with all the curries I've gotten. Once I got a dish with a whole fried fish that was also wonderful, I wish I could remember the name of that but I can't. All in all just wonderful. And it's BYOB, I love that too.

Amazing Thai food! All the positive reviews enticed me to visit and they didn't steer me wrong. Originally from NYC, I have had my share of excellent Thai food. And this is by far one of my new favs! The weekday lunch menu is great! Lunch for two with entrees and salads was about $16! Amazing deal! Their pad Thai and mussa pad Thai are so delicious!

Maggie G.

Amazing! That is all! You should def try the coconut mango sticky rice for dessert!

Chosei K.

I've grown to love Thai food over the last several years and Thai Arroy offers some of the best noodle and curry dishes in Baltimore. I enjoy eating their druken noodles, pad thai and pad see ew. My favorite dish recently is the hot pot. If you're trying to catch up with someone, you want to consider how busy they look; it gets really loud when it's crowded.
(4)
Kait H.

I go here about 1-2 times a year (drive in from a half hour away). It always hits the spot. The servings are plentiful (I have split 3-4 dishes between 6 people), and to top it off it is BYOB, making it very affordable.
(4)
Jewel R.

The food and helpings are good. A BYOB and that makes it more attractive. It is a small restaurant and informal. We were visiting Inner Harbor and thanks to Yelp, found this restaurant. The price is very reasonable. Good bang for your bucks!!

Kojo B.

I dont know what the fuss is about this place, but usually a measuring stick that i use to measure if a Thai food joint is good or not is how well their fried rice tastes. I guess i have been spoilt with that amazing My Thai fried rice (please come back soon), but this was disappointing and forgetful. I told them make it spicy it tasted bland, i also ordered some appetizers that i could care to remember. Maybe it was because of takeout or maybe fried rice is not their strongest point, but anyway i am still on the lookout for some amazing fried rice until if/when MyThai comes back. I am also judging them based solely on that dish to offer a disclaimer.

Rebecca H.

Thai Arroy is everything that you would expect from a small, neighborhood Thai restaurant. They have the normal traditional Thai dishes to choose from and they were executed well. I shared a plate of very fresh vegetable spring rolls and a tofu green curry dish with a friend and it was plenty of food. My only complaint is that I was expecting the curry dish to be at least a little bit spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. It was still delicious though. Service was quiet and friendly. It's a small place and I hear it gets really busy during dinner, however I went right around 5 pm and there wasn't a crowd at all. I would definitely go back for more!
(4)
Farida A.

No. This place seems quite popular with the locals. Unforch, as a lover of Thai food and a person who came to the table with a HUGE appetite, I was sorely disappointed! The red curry was really weak and my tofu tasted spoiled! Wouldn't bother coming back here.
(1)
Derek I.

3.5 Stars. Good but NOT great Thai food. We go here often since it is close to where we live. Everything is generally okay but.... The massaman and green curry are always a bit watered-down. The chicken satay is a bit dry but flavored well. There is too much soy sauce in the pad see ew noodles and the veggies in the noodles always seem overcooked. However, despite it being busy during the dinner rush hour, we are always seated quickly, the service is very responsive and they prepare the meal in a short amount of time.
(3)
Tiffany P.

I went here a few weeks ago on a date. I've been very spoiled with high quality Thai food in Atlanta and was anxious to find a replacement in Baltimore. The food at Thai Arroy is very good and the portions are enough to fill you up and have some for left-overs. My date and I both had noodle dishes-- pad see ew and drunken noodles-- and both were excellent. I haven't tried their coconut soup yet which will be the final deciding factor for whether this becomes my new Thai spot. One star was lost because the place is pretty small and it got quite loud to the point where it was hard to hear my date talk.
(4)
Ada G.

It's always a good sign when you go to lunch late in the afternoon and every table is taken. This place rocks! The service was fantastic and the food was wonderful! We had the tom yum goong soup - it was perfect - not too sweet and perfectly spicy. We shared the duck with pineapple. It was very good, but a little on the sweet side. We always ask for spicy and they went a little weak on the spiciness for us. Still, this place was very tasty and I will definately be back!!
(4)
Albert H.

Some of the best Thai food you'll ever have! If you really like extra spicy Thai food, remember to ask for it extra (or "thai") spicy. They don't sell alcohol but you can take your own booze (there is a corkage fee I believe). The location isn't very big, so it does get crowded quickly, but waiting a bit is definitely worth it. There isn't a lot of parking on the weekends because it's right on Light St (busy area) so plan ahead in that case. During the week it's not too hard to park.

I love their Thai Iced Tea and I adore their Pad See Ew. The noodles are so tender and delicious! It isn't extravagant but it's great for a simple night out.

Tameka W.

I got take out of the spicy Green Curry with vegetarian mock duck (essentially gluten with a definite "fatty" texture--not a big fan), the Kha Prao extra spicy with tofu, two portions of rice and the mango sticky rice all for $25. My husband and I were full and had leftovers for lunch a couple of days later (the food reheated very well and maintained a great taste and texture). The spice levels of the dishes were perfect--it's great to be able to accurately customize the spice level of anything you order. Also, for vegetarians, there are a ton of options available to you--just be sure to ask for no fish or oyster sauce/if any is used in the dish. The portion sizes are great for the low price and the staff is super friendly, inviting and professional. **I've given a "3" because I've found the quality of food (mangos, veggies and particularly the tofu) has been rather underpar in the past maybe six times I've gone. Because of my long history with TA, I still will allow for redemption and will update for certain the next time I go back! I hope you all have as fabulous of a dining experience as I have in the past.

We ate curries and taro mousse for desert. Curries are not spicy. Taste like arranged for Americans. Rice is not so good quality. Restaurant itself was crowded by many customers. Waitresses services good service.
(3)
Lindsay R.

So delicious and recommended for Thai food lovers!! I tried the red curry with shrimp and it was just perfect. The portion size was good and for $14 there was a decent amount of shrimp. This restaurant also allows you to BYOB so its nice for a smaller group. Our waitress was also incredibly nice which made the experience that much better. With that being said the only potential down side is the size of restaurant. It is quite small so I would get there early on a busy dinner night (like Friday and Saturday) and if I had a large group (5 or more). Also, parking may be a bit of a task so be prepared to circle the block a few times.
(5)
Laura M.

Can't go wrong here! It's so affordable and delicious, Baltimore needs more BYOB's! It took me a while to find a dish there that I really liked because I can't handle too much spice. I eventually discovered that I could order spicy things as "mild" and that gave me a lot more options. Someone once told me that Rieslings go well with spicy food, I try to find a really dry (not so sweet) Riesling and bring that, it's delicious. Also, my husband and I tend to eat on the late side and I hate being the only one in the restaurant. Thai Arroy has a later crowd, so no worries in that department.
(5)
Martha B.

This Thai place in the middle of Fed Hill is alright. It's a little small for the volume. I went there for lunch one day with a friend...service was a little slow, but nothing crazy. My pad thai was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I don't like it spicy; so if that's your thing, make sure you ask them to kick up the spice (and they will). I would go back if I were in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip. Atmosphere is casual.
(3)
Mike D.

It's been a while since we've Thai-ed one on but this place made it more than worth the wait. It's crowded always a good sign, noisy with happy diners and BYOB of course. It's all about the appetizers and the Sa Tay and Shrimp Rolls are about as it good it gets. The accompanying peanut and chili sauces respectively, are nothing less than top notch. Hot classic Tom Kha seals the deal and Kao Pad rounds out a memorable culinary occaision, the latter containing a massive amount of chicken, so tasty and simple. The service is amazingly swift and very pleasant. Looking forward to going back to savor more goodness.

Katy S.

This place is great. The first time I went here it was on a whim after class, and just used my fellow yelpers suggestions. We got there right when they open for dinner, and I got the fried tofu for starters and the drunken noodles with chicken. The fried tofu came with this really tasty sweet/spicy sauce, and the drunken noodles was awesome, but not as spicy as the menu suggested. The next time I went with the same group of girls right after they were announced best Thai food in Baltimore for 2010, so it was packed. The place is small, but I found out that night that it's BYOB, which is nice b/c there's a liquor store about a block away. This time I got the red curry and it was so much food I couldn't finish, but it had that right amount of spice that kind of tickles your throat. The restaurant is a little small, but the service is fast and the staff is really nice. I haven't tried much of the other Thai food that Baltimore has to offer, but I honestly don't want to :) Also, the Charm City Circulator (purple route) goes right by the restaurant if you don't feel like trying to find parking,

Jelly F.

Quaint Thai restaurant, even with two ppl still a long wait. Coming from NY i was initially quite unsure of all the rave reviews. Really doubtful that it can hold a candle to all the thai restaurants in NY. But it was quite good. All your standard fare was a-ok. Wasn't blown away but definitely filling and comforting on a cold night.

Den F.

I can't really say whether Thai Arroy is authentic or not since I've only had Thai food in the US... but it is DELICIOUS. I have tried many different menu items and have never been disappointed. Some things that I have tried and liked are the Drunken Noodles, the rare beef salad, their soups (tom kha and tom yum), red curry, and pineapple fried rice. Most of their food is pretty sweet. (I guess that is more suited to American taste) Their Thai iced tea is also on the sweet side. When it is in season, I recommend the MANGO WITH STICKY RICE!

If I could give a quarter star, I would. I eat out 3 or 4 times a week, and in 14 years living in Federal Hill this was hands down the worst dining experience I ever had. It was 6:15 on a Sat night, but all of the tables were empty except three--I wasn't happy I was given a table literally inside the hostess station/kitchen doorway, but I figured they wanted to save the only other two-person table in case they needed to expand for a large group. I thought--well, at least service should be fast. Wrong. Although all of the other tables had food (so in fact did the the one they gave me, the hostess shoo'd away a bus boy and his meal to put me there), it was 15 min before I was given water, 30 min before my order was taken--and my soup arrived with my main course, at around 45 min. Meanwhile, flies (I hope) nibbled at my ankles. Just after my meal arrived, two couples with their four ferral children were put next to me--the adults all on one side so they were further removed from the screaming of their ill-behaved brood than I was. The hostess came over--not to check on me, or see if they were a bother, but to interupt my meal so she could take the extra chair. Five min later she returned it, and I told her I wanted my check and a box. She never returned. After 14 min more I stood up to block the way of one of the three women dealing with the barbarian table, and repeated my request. She brought the check 10 min later--I handed her my already out credit card, wanting to escape the madhouse with a now splitting headache. She didn't take it, but turned around to begin fussing with something at the hostess station. I got up and put it in front of her. 5 more min before she returned with the credit card slip--and no pen--running off as I told her I needed a pen, but not to go get one, to bring drinks for the barbarians. I had to get up, taking the check with me, and ask them for a pen--I was ready to just leave if one didn't appear. So all in all, ignored throughout the meal, extremely long wait to order, food in wrong order, and if I hadn't insisted, I'd still be sitting next to children who were old enough to NOT be jumping on their chairs and shreiking. As it was I spent 30+ min listening to ferral children shrieking for attention from their oblivious (?drunk) parents. If this sounds fun to you, then by all means come here. The Tom Yum soup is good, but no better than places I've been to in DC and Virginia. The ma kreau was bland and overcooked. Other wise--you were warned.

I read the reviews expecting the best Thai, but was disappointed that it was just "good". It's an unassuming little place with good curry but definitely not knock your socks off. We ordered the scallion dumplings which were highly recommended by other yelpers: I liked the sweet, tangy sauce on them but found them VERY greasy. Shrimp roll appetizer arrived piping hot and were also good. The Mussa Pad Thai was refreshingly different in that it was a creamy mild pad thai (not dry or pasty or even peanutty)-- but a little lacking in flavor. Their green curry was good and decently hot as is. For some reason it tasted like they made it from a ready made paste (instant paste) instead of home made.... it didn't have the real "fresh herbs" taste I was hoping for. But again, it was good. I'd go back for dinner but I wasn't totally impressed. Thought the wait staff was excellent though.

My hubby and I went here to grab dinner on a Friday night. We got there a little after 6pm and it was pretty empty. But within 30 mins or so, the place was packed with people waiting outside to get in. I ordered beef see ew and shrimp tom yum soup and my husband ordered thai iced tea and red curry with chicken. The thai iced tea came out first and it was a bit sweet for our taste. My soup came out and that tasted pretty good - although there were only 2 shrimps. My beef pad see ew was too oily - I think it was due to the type of beef they used. My husband's red curry was okay - nothing spectacular. We are both used to eating authentic thai food in NY/NJ area and I've been to Thailand a few times so compare to what we are used to, this was not good. When the bill came, we were shocked that the tom yum soup was over $5!! I guess we will have to continue with our search for a to-go thai restaurant!

My roommates and I absolutely love this place. Their drunken noodles is incredible (we love it with beef). The atmosphere is charming, the service is fantastic, and turnover is quick so the wait is never too long. I almost always get the Thai iced tea when I go as well. For dessert, I tried the mango w/ sweet rice on a whim, and it just absolutely blew me away. All in all, I can't say I've ever once been disappointed in my experiences at Thai Arroy, and it's hard to go wrong despite the large number of options!

some late night grub for my birthday last night. We got a table pretty quick. Place was abnormally quiet for a Tuesday. I enjoyed my entree however it was only 9 pm and our waitress gave us our check five minutes after receiving our food. We felt completely rushed out and unwelcome as she made us aware that restaurant closes at 10 pm and she was ready to go home as soon as We left to start her Florida Vacation! Seriously? It was 9:15 and we had eaten about four bites of our food and received our bill and boxes. Needles to say we took our time eating and even stayed a few minutes til closing. The only time she came out to check on us was to see if we had paid our bill yet. Food was very good and it was a gorgeous evening. I know waitresses get paid from patrons so I don't know how this young lady can afford to take a vacation? I would go back again but definitely earlier in the evening when I feel my money is appreciated. I may even give the owners or manager a call today to make him aware of the service we received. I heard they have a mango desert to die for but she didn't offer desert menu and we already had check five minutes into our meal. Maybe next time. 2 Stars only.

The food remains awesome. But the table layout here is too crowded, so you will invariably dine with way too many people for your comfort level. The noise level will get loud and intolerable. Also, the parking on this section of Light Street is very often nonexistent.

One of my favorite places in fed hill. A little pricey but well worth it. Everything on the extensive menu is worth trying.

The food was great...appetizer, salad & our two main. Drunken noodle was outstanding! Parking was a little difficult. Great option: call in & pick up.

Best drunken noodles I've ever had. Really good apps, too; the larb gai and the beef salad are both fantastic. Don't make the mistake and go to Thai Yum (or as my wife and I call it: "Thai Yuck"); it's wayyyyyy inferior.

Was really excited to try Thai Arroy as Baltimore is lacking in Thai establishments. My boyfriend and I seek out Thai restaurants and we were really disappointed in Thai Arroy!!! I ordered the Pad See Yew - noodles were not freshly made, definitely from a package, the chicken was tough and rubbery, the sauce was not the typical pad see yew sauce, the dish was lacking in vegetables and egg, overall a bad meal. My boyfriend ordered the pineapple cashew fried rice which boasts unfresh rice, tough chicken, with average flavor, definitely nothing special. Perhaps our experience was a fluke, but I can safely say as a lover of Thai food, I will NOT be going back to Thai Arroy. Apart from the sub-par cuisine, they are overpriced. You can get much better food for less money in other cities. Hope this is helpful! If you are a true lover of Thai food, skip this place and spend your money elsewhere.

Tofu gang dang spicy is my go-to. Carry-out is the way to go most evenings (especially Fridays and Saturdays) after 7:00 or so. It's BYOB, so if you are dining in and forget, you can hit up Ole Federal Hill Liquors, which is just a few blocks south on Light Street. Thai Arroy (among a few other places) makes living in Federal Hill (Fraternal Hill or the keg stand Capitol of Baltimore City) a little more bearable.

For Baltimore, this is THE best and most authentic Thai restaurants you can land. In terms of Thai restaurants in general, it's more of a 3-star quality. Atmosphere: really authentic traditional Thai decorations - this has one of the nicer decorations I've seen for Thai restaurants I've been to. Food Recommendations: Nam Tok Appetizer: It's a grilled beef with vegetable appetizer. This one really is truly scrumptious - very fresh and light. Reminds me of the food I had in NW Laos, except that the beef is fresher and tastier here. I would highly recommend this. Yellow Curry: one of the top 3 Thai curries I've tasted in this country. The flavor is rich and just right, not too heavy or light on one thing, but nicely blended. They really know how to make a good curry. Great with chicken, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with other meats too. Pad Thai: quite good and probably the best you can get in the Northern Maryland area. Some dishes were overly abundant with carrots and onions. I would stick with the appetizers, curries, and noodles. The first two really are fantastic here. Other types of dishes are a bit more of a risk.

Judy C.

Definitely my preferred Thai restaurant in Baltimore. It's BYO, so that's already a plus for me! The staff are nice and attentive. The price is still a little high, but the portions are a little bigger than some other Thai restaurants in the city. There are more Thai food options, and their food is tasty! Finally, they have a taro mousse that is quite different than what we have seen. Overall, the dining experience is simply pleasant. Aside from the occasion wait (the place is small), this place is definitely worth a try!

I had been looking forward to this place and had fairly high expectations, given the reviews on here, but was pretty disappointed. I got the Kee Mao drunken noodles with seafood, and my friend had the Nam Prik Pao aka. Mr. Green. My noodles were extremely clumpy and soggy, not slippery and saucy like they should be. Flavor was okay, and the seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid) were overcooked. My friend liked his Nam Prik Pao, but it just tasted like chicken and string beans in a pretty average pepper sauce to me. My meal wasn't terrible by any means, just nothing memorable. If you are of non-Asian descent and/or don't eat Thai very frequently, you may very well enjoy this place. The ambiance looked nice, but we got take out. My friend said his meal was pretty good, so give it a try. If you have had great Thai before, skip this place or order something else.

THAI ICED TEA = BEST I EVER HAD Seriously. I was waiting, not so patiently across the street for our realtor to get his st----uff together and needed a serious caffeine fix and treat. This thai iced tea was a perfect blend for me. I like it sweet with a good dose of cream. I was a bit nervous when the server only gave me an ounce or two. How wrong I was to question her! It was a perfect balance. Unfortunately, I did not dine here so cannot speak to the food. However, if their thai iced tea is any indication ... THIS IS A GREAT PLACE.

L D.

So so so so so good for lunch, dinner, and take out. Ah, so good. (word of caution: unfortunately, i think they struggle with drunken noodles as it's a little different every time i order it, so don't make that mistake on your first time there - stick with their curries and pick-your-meat entrees, they are fantasticalicious) If you can find room in your heart to forgive that the place does not take reservations, parking is a b*tch, they add a gratuity for opening the wine bottle you brought in, and the deafening sound from the overpacked seating at dinner time will limit your conversation tremendously, you will not be disappointed. (Pick an off-time to avoid the crowds) I'm giving all 5 despite the above mentioned as a testament to how good the food is.

Very good, but surprised they didn't offer a refreshing Thai beer. BYO? The spring rolls were excellent, the panang was very good and not overdone with loads of veggies. The pad thai was good and the tom yum was tasty. Very nice.

Definitely my go to in Baltimore. Its a 5 star in Baltimore. Great Thai Food. Probably better than most places in Baltimore that I have eaten at for Thai. Worth checking out. I really like their curry and X8 fish. Drunken noodle is awesome here. pyEAT - twice approved. My policy is 1 Star - TERRIBLE, never come back, even if Im next door. 2 Stars - whatever, tried it once, probably not again. 3 Stars - Its good. Worth going for a special. 4 Stars - Definitely worth trying out, most likely will stop by if Im around the area. 5 Stars - the best I have had and worth checking out.

Keith B.

Consistently very good, and the service is always polite. A great place to have a civilized dinner or enjoy takeout. It's small (but not too small) and cozy inside, nicely appointed, and clean. One of my favorite Thai places in Baltimore -- it's not going to be out of this world, but it's very good and reasonable for what they charge.

Lucy X.

The Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodles are very similar, so for two people I suggest to get one or the other and share, that way you can both try other dishes in addition to noodles. So if you prefer spicy then go with the Drunken Noodles, otherwise the See Ew. Both are very good, though a little on the heavy/salty side so be prepared to be thirsty! The green curry chicken is okay, the sauce is very sweet and quite tasty (because of the coconut milk they use to cook it with), and goes great with white rice. The mango sticky rice dessert isn't as good as the one at Thai House in Gaithersburg but still pretty satisfying. The Thai tea is delicious, although I wish they gave the option of adding tapioca balls because bubble tea is always better than just tea haha. Oh and I love the decor of the place, makes it feel very authentic Thai, and the staff is super friendly and nice and service is very prompt!

Michelle K.

I was going to give Thai Arroy 3 stars. The food is solid american Thai, pan fried noodles and an assortment of curries. Delicious. But two things make me love Thai Arroy one star more: online ordering, and being able to choose your spice level. Online ordering for take out is brilliant. You can put your order in at work, drive over and you food is ready for you at any time you designate, piping hot. ( thaiarroy.com ) No misunderstandings because there is no need to shout over the phone. My other favorite thing is when you order extra spicy, you will get extra spicy food. I mean enough heat to make your upper lip sweat and give you a peptic ulcer. Love it.

Liane R.

Visited for lunch on a weekday. There was a nice crowd but it wasn't overcrowded. Amazing food! My mom who doesn't eat a lot of ethnic food even enjoyed it. You can't go wrong with any of the curries; they can even modify the spiciness for you. Tofu had great consistency. Everyone else in my party had either chicken or beef in their dishes and they also raved.
(5)
Joel H.

I'll be concise. perfectly spicy curry, delicious rice and noodle dishes. fellow diners were bringing their own beverages. I found fast service, very reasonable prices, and a clean environment with beautiful mural on the wall. I'm from out of town, so more restaurants tomorrow, however I'd certainly return if I lived in the area.

Nate K.

I had high expectations based on reviews... I don't think they were met based on my initial dining. I had the drunken noodles and wasn't that impressed. Sure, the noodles were cooked well and fresh (which was key). But overall, the dish was lacking in flavor, a bit bland, but it had plenty of kick.... I was left wanting more basil and some greens, maybe green peppers or green beans. I think the dish had an underwhelming presentation because of this. The basil wasn't that fresh either. :( The inside of the restaurant was small but inviting and the overall space was managed well. The service was very good and prompt. The menu had many choices and it would take 20-30 trips to try all dishes. Honestly, a bit overwhelming at first. I think I saw at least 3 different versions of pad thai.. hmm... Either way, I would come back and I think I would give the drunken noodles another try... Maybe it was just an off day. So when I do return, then I'll post an update on the results.

Is it just me, or does every Thai restaurant serve the same things? I have never had authentic Thai food and am fearful that the only way that I ever will, will be to visit Bangkok. I'm one of those weirdos who upon arriving at an ethnic restaurant, scan the menu in search of dishes made with tripe, tongue, tendon, or anything else that would make the casual diner cringe (fish collar, pork skin, chicken feet, etc). Am I being ignorant if I expect to see some of these dishes in Thai restaurants? Or should I just accept the fact that Thai food is the only Asian cuisine that doesn't use every part of the animal... The food was pretty standard. I ordered the Pork simmered in coconut milk and chili peppers with carrots and string beans. This tasted "surprisingly" similar to my girlfriends yellow curry dish. The food being as it is isn't necessarily a bad thing: I still finished my food and ordered extra rice to boot. This is the kind of food that I would love to find when I'm rummaging through the fridge at 10 pm, looking for a something to munch on while watching late night sports center. But at the same time, I wish I could find a Thai restaurant that actually served interesting food.

Everything is pretty good and the service is really nice. Love the noodle dishes and papaya salad.

K Sera S.

A very unassuming store front belies a vast, almost overwhelming menu of traditional and unusual Thai dishes and curries. It's quite small, so be prepared to wait if you're going on a weekend night. And keep in mind that it's BYOB. Me, I'd say a nice Riesling to cut the spiciness. And boy, if you like it spicy, they will do it to it. If you say "native Thai," you'd best be prepared! Parking can be tough (it's in Federal Hill, so good luck!), but if you're in the mood for Thai, it's worth the aggravation.

Reggie K.

Excellent food, although the place is small seating isnt bad most days. Having carryout helps.

Without a doubt, the best Thai food ever! I am absolutely obsessed with this place and eat here AT LEAST once a week. The ambiance is perfect, the green curry is divine, and it's a BYOB ... what more can you ask for. Did I mention they have outside seating?!
(5)
Amy B.

I was so glad to find a good Thai place in our neck of the woods in Federal Hill. While I found it to be a bit pricey, you definitely get a lot of food for what you pay for. I had the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) with tofu and it was super tasty. My husband randomly tried the chu-chee with chicken and the sauce was great. I wasn't aware of the online ordering but I'll have to try that out soon! The website ( thaiarroy.com ) is nice because it has pictures of all the food, which I appreciate!

Jordan B.

Nicely fried tofu... lots of vegetarian choices. One of the few times I've eaten somewhere where the broccoli wasn't cooked into a mush. BYOB is rather nice.

Mabel T.

i absolutely LOVE this place! best Thai food in Baltimore hands down. My favorite dishes are the pad see ew, pa nang and massaman curry, and their kao pad (fried rice). I've also had their steamed fish, which is also VERY good but kinda pricey IMO. My husband and I usually eat everything on our plates but we still ask them to box up the sauce and cook more of it at home. :) Their dishes are so authentic and full of flavor. To top it all off, it's BYOB! You can't get any better than Thai Arroy.
(4)
Emily P.

Quality Thai food in a nice setting. Go for the curries. After spending some time in Thailand I was eager to try delicious (American) Thai cuisine in Baltimore. Thai Arroy is it. The red curry was delicious; the soups were flavorful; the spring onion dumplings reminded me of street carts in Bangkok. Pad Thai was good, but not like I remembered. It's probably impossible to recreated Thai street food Pad Thai without local ingredients. So, still worth getting. Really nice staff.

Sri N.

I love Thai food and often enjoyed their excellent service and great food. However, last night take out was not even close to what I had at this place. Particularly, the drunken noodles were clumped into a ball and taste less. So the low rating, hopefully it gets better in the future. I would sure give it another try based on my previous experience.
(3)
K. K.

Almost perfect! I had red chicken curry over rice (they don't have brown rice yet), he had a fried rice type dish and tea...all really good! Love the variety of veggies too! Lunch specials during the week. Appetizers seem pricey, $3 for an egg roll? Parking wasn't too bad for the area. Will be back, can't wait to try their soups!
(4)
Jessica W.

While it may not have a unique menu, this place does the regular standby Thai dishes pretty well. It gets bonus points from this vegetarian Yelper for having mock duck as an option, when most Thai places only offer tofu/vegetable in place of meat in stir-fries, curries and noodles. (No, it doesn't taste anything like duck, but I rather like its not duck-like at all texture). The Kha Na, a sauteed dish of Chinese broccoli and mock duck (or whatever meat substance you choose) in a spicy sauce, was perfect in terms of heat. I'm not a fan of Pad Thai dishes that are really sweet, but I'll tip my hat to the Khing-Pad Thai here, which is gingery, garlicky and awesome. Service was very pleasant, and the generous portion sizes mean you've got lunch or dinner for the next day.

Kathy K.

Our first time here - excellent lunch - even for kids! Chicken satay, dumplings, "Mr. Green" & pad Thai - nice portions with fresh, bright flavors. And the mango sticky rice is a must! Looking forward to our next visit.

They are very quick and the food is not greasy. Seasoned very well and light/flavorful.

Early Friday evening dinner. The service was prompt, courteous and professional. Sa tay appetizer was good. Thai iced tea was refreshing and not too sweet. I had Mussa-mun curry and it was just "okay". The sauce was runny and a little on the flat side and needed a little spice. My dining partner had Pra Pad Pet and it was outstanding. Prices were a little high for casual Thai dining but portions were large. I will definitely go back to give this place another shot.

Jennifer S.

Thai Arroy is simply my favorite Thai place in all of Baltimore. It's FANTASTIC. It's a tiny hole in the wall place but the staff there is so nice. I've eaten almost everything off the menu (as long as it's not 5-alarm-fire spicy) and it's never been anything but the best. The staff are also super nice and helpful. It's not really the best place for groups because it is so small but we have done it and the staff has been more than accomodating. It's also byob (I don't think they have their own bar) which is always fun :) When you come in you also get a huge cup of delcious warm tea. Overall, GREAT place.
(5)
Jai S.

I love love love Thai food. And this place is just ok. There are a few very well done dishes (Yellow Curry, the Mussels appetizer). But the way I judge a Thai place is by how they make their Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao). This dish is fairly bland, very little vegetables, but a decent helping of meat (your choice of beef, chicken, duck, or pork). I've had much better.
(3)
Peter S.

Best Thai in bmore! It's a cool lil place right on light st. In fed hill. The food is flavorful, the prices reasonable and the service is friendly! I definitely recommend the green curry. It's spicy and delicious! Also the service was very good. We had a large party for a birthday and they did their best to accommodate us despite their small dining room.
(4)
Brooke M.

Best Thai food in Baltimore, hands down. Best Thai food I've had anywhere, for that matter. Their Drunken Noodles are the standard by which all others will forever be judged. They're often crowded and you'll probably have to wait for a table, but it's always worth it. I've never had anything here I didn't completely love. Drunken Noodles are a must. My husband and I fight contentiously over the leftovers (when we're lucky enough to have any). Yum Salad w/ beef is killer. Pineapple/Cashew Fried Rice (Raum Mit Kao Pad) is another favorite. The curries are all good (I'm partial to the green), but you can get a decent curry from a lot of places, so I tend to focus more on their other dishes.

Danielle F.

I absolutely LOVE this place. Best Thai food I've ever had. Get the Pad Thai or the Drunken Noodles and you won't be disappointed!!

Brian A.

Friendly staff, neat environment and great Thai Food! This is not the best Thai food I have ever had but certainly the best in Baltimore. We ordered the Pad Thai. The flavor was great! however the noodles were a little too dry. We also ordered the Druken noodles. Also amazing flavor, a good amount of spice but also the noodles were a little to dry. Lastly we ordered the Thai iced tea. This was mediocre. The drink had promise however there was too much condensed milk and not enought Thai Tea. All in all the best bet for Thai food in Baltimore.

Trish A.

Though I've only been to two Thai places in Baltimore, I've been to many in my life - Thai Arroy has an impressive selection of good tasting dishes, and a good selection of different types of proteins to choose from. The location is great, especially since it has outdoor seating. The only complaint I would have is about the service - if you go when they're rushed, they're rude and unaccommodating. If you're vegan, ask for which dishes can have the fish paste/sauce left out of them. Sometimes they'll tell you you can leave it out, sometimes they'll point to two dishes that are without it naturally. Note: This restaurant is BYOB
(4)
Megan H.

Really delicious food, not overly expensive. Phad Thai doesn't look like much, but the plain beige pile of noodles is deceptive. The flavors are just right- a bit sweet, a bit sour, savory & delicious. Everything we've ordered has been yummy, from fish cake appetizer to beef salad to nam prik pao. Website has tons of pictures, and says you can now order online.

Alyce M.

I'm going to preface this review by saying that I know nothing about how 'authentic' Thai food is supposed to taste. That being said, I've eaten at many, many Thai restaurants and know the difference between edible food and stuff that needs to be fed to the garbage disposal. We ordered take out and Thai Arroy was just disappointing. The fresh spring rolls were just not good. Neither of us liked them. I was extremely underwhelmed with my curry. The sauce itself was OK but the 'vegetables' were, well, awful. (You know it's bad if you would rather eat toast for dinner instead of your leftover Thai...) My friend got another curry and was happy with hers. (The third star is only because she was quite happy with the Ped Jae and this really only deserves 2.5 stars even with that.)

Jason C.

This place has the best Thai Food this side of the pond, in my opinion. I look forward to eating here every time I am in Baltimore. So far I haven't beed disappointed with anything on the menu.

Sean M.

If you love Thai this is the place for you to visit in the Baltimore area. Let's just say that you can bring your own Beer/wine here. They will chill it for you and bring you all the goodies like a loaded spice rack and the food is cooked to perfection. I would suggest the Panang (Chicken) as I would anytime ordering Thai food. I would also suggest the Pad Thai Chicken dish. The place is fairly easy to get to but parking is a bit of a pain to find but overall is worth it. I cannot wait till I visit Baltimore again!
(5)
Juliann A.

My realtor recommended and gift card presented Thai Arroy. We loved the food. The fragrant lemon grass soup tickled our noses and the curried pa nang curled our toeses. With Thai food, I like the ability to number the level of hotness--from 1 for the faint of heart to 5 for the bold of heart to10 which could explode the heart. Because I like very spicy food, I generally go for a 6 or 7--the level at which smoke starts coming from my ears. Without the number system at Thai Arroy, I chose the starred items and asked for extra heat. That worked. Oh yes, it did. I've been back three or four times since, and Thai Arroy has been consistently good.

Erin R.

Best drunken noodles and pad Thai in Baltimore. Not the place to go if you're looking for summer rolls. Also the sticky fried rice with pineapple and cashews is amazing.
(5)
Erik G.

We went here last night with 2 friends - a party of four. We decided to do our meal family style so we could all try as much as possible. We ordered Larb Kai to start, the Drunken Noodles extra spicy, the Panang Curry spicy, a seafood curry extra spicy, and Crispy Beef mild. The larb came out relatively quickly, and was pretty good - I'd give it 3 stars. Everything else came just as we finished the larb. The Drunken Noodle was definitely the star of the show, even though it turned out to be too spicy for at least one of our eaters (and I can attest it was rather spicy - this is probably the spiciest food I've been able to order here in Maryland without doctoring it myself). The Crispy Beef was the second best, followed by the curries. I really liked the cashews on the Crispy Beef. Now, I'm a huge curry fan, and this curry was not what I expect from a Thai Restaurant. The seafood curry wasn't traditional curry anyway, so I'm mainly talking about the Panang. Now, a good Panang curry should be a bit thick with lots of peanutty flavor. This was thin like a soup, and wasn't very flavorful at all. If not for the Drunken Noodles, this place probably would have gone down to a 3 star because of this. Bangkok Kitchen on 175 makes a better Panang. Overall, a good experience. The service was really good too. I would definitely venture back to try other noodle dishes, and maybe a curry here and there.

Matthew L.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Baltimore. The food is well cooked, spiced to appropriate desire and fresh. The small restaurant is elegantly designed and gives an inspiring ethnic feel. The rice is perfectly steamed. I really enjoy the curries. The dessert is a bit sweet for my liking, and my only knock.

Very good thai food with very cool decor. Location is small, but not so cramped that you can't eat. The service can be slow at times, and you can expect to wait some time both for your food and for the check.

J C.

I don't know why, but I am not all about this place like many others. I've been a couple of times and tried both curry and noodle dishes. Their curry (I had pa nang) wasn't spicy enough and didn't have a creamy, curry-like texture (whatever that's supposed to be). Drunken noodles were way too sweet. Pad Thai did not have enough flavor. BYOB is definitely cool, but I would be sad if this was the best Thai food in town.
(3)
Gayle G.

I was pretty pleased with my lunch at Thai Arroy. I don't usually order satay, but for some reason I did and I was happy! The chicken satay here is the best I've ever had. Nicely charred and full of flavor. I liked it better without the peanut sauce which was just too peanuty for my taste. The Tom Yum Kai was ok, not great. It wasn't spicy enough for my taste. And the crispy rolls were crispy and not greasy at all. Next time, I'll have curry.

sam k.

so maybe i'm not sure what authentic pad see ew is supposed to taste like. i just know that the stuff i had at thai arroy tasted like someone added a cup of sugar to it while it was cooking. i know it's made with sweet soy sauce - and maybe every place i've been to in NY is making it wrong - but if this is what pad see ew is supposed to taste like, you should consider ordering it for dessert before ordering it for a meal. the boyfriend ordered chicken pad thai which had almost no flavor. came here while we were on vacation and truly bummed if this is really the best thai in baltimore. and to top it all off, we both became violently ill within about 40 minutes of eating - luckily we made it back to the hotel. on a brighter note, (maybe the reason i'm not going for 1 star?) the papaya salad was the best i'd ever had. as well as the thai iced teas. hope neither of those were what made us both sick!
(2)
Mistery M.

Lots of good vegan options. Food is decently priced! I've paid more for thai in columbia! This is fairly standard thai fare, you won't be very surprised. This is however, very good standard thai fare. Had tofu panang, chive dumpling, chinese brocolli with tofu. The chinese brocolli dish was super!

David N.

This is the BEST Thai food I have ever had. And my wife and I have been to Thailand. I can't tell you how happy I am this place is in my neighborhood. It is BYOB which is kind of awesome because we bring a big bottle of wine or beer and they are very kind to open it for you for no extra charge.

Great thai food! Delicious and reasonable prices. Service was good and the food came out really quick. A small place so the wait can be long at times but worth it! and BYOB!

Emily C.

Thai Arroy is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants that I've been to. It's location on Light Street in Federal Hill is pretty convenient. The space is really small, and it's always packed, so it helps to have a reservation. It's BYOB, but there is a liquor store right across the street in case you forget. In terms of the food, I have no complaints about it. I'm not a person who is very tolerant of spicy food, but I'm definitely getting better. I generally order food with maybe two stars at the most. For appetizers, the papaya salad and the mussels are a must. And for main entrees, you can't go wrong with their drunken noodles or green curry. I thought the menu was pretty simple...just pick your protein and your form of starch. The service is excellent as well. There's only one or two waitresses, so I've gotten the same one almost every time I've been there to eat. They're all very friendly and polite. And if you ever have any questions about the menu, they're happy to oblige.

For Thai cuisine, this is the best in Baltimore. I have been to a couple of other places and Thai Arroy is far superior to the competition. It is a tiny restaurant, so be prepared to wait up to 30 minutes on a Friday night, unless you have a group of 8 or more, in which case you may make a reservation. I always order the Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mow) and the Med Ma Muang, but I have also tried the ginger chicken, many of the fried rice dishes, the pad thai, and a couple of other stir-frys. I am consistently impressed with the quality of the food. The portions are reasonable for the price, the taste is amazing, and the service is great. All of the waitresses are kind, patient, and helpful. The restaurant is also very clean, and the staff is great about refilling water. If you do go, I would suggest ordering 1 less dish than the number of people in your group. For example, if there are 4 of you, only order 3 dishes to share. This is the perfect amount of food and you will be happy with the per-person cost of the meal (unless you want leftovers to take home). This is a BYOB restaurant and you just can't go wrong by dining here. I try to go at least twice a month and it is my favorite restaurant in Baltimore.

Very good thai food, but a bit pricy. Delicious panang curry and papaya salad.

After I went here for the first time I was so blown away by the food, that I dreamed about the restaurant 3 times over the course of the next two weeks. I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu. The tofu was very well prepared and it tasted AMAZING. The perfect balance of all flavors. I also tried some of my friend's pad thai which was the best I've ever had. Ive been back multiple times and am always pleased with the food & service. The drunken noodles are so good that I can never bring myself to try another dish but one day I will venture out... and I know that it will be amazing. I've been to *many* thai restaurants in the DC metro area and this is definitely the best.

When I move away from Baltimore in a year and a half, the thing I will miss most (besides my friends) is Thai Arroy. This is the most delicious Thai food I have had, EVER. I am a vegetarian, so I can't attest to the meat selections but the tofu is great and the vegetarian duck is worth a try. My favorite dish is drunken noodles with tofu...I can't get enough. The fried rice is great also. The restaurant is BYOB so feel free to bring a bottle of wine or some beer to accompany your meal.

Went here for dinner last night. The food was amazing. I can wholeheardly recommend the Khing Pad Thai which is a new twist on an old favorite including ginger and lemongrass overtones. The sticky rice with mango was also a big hit. Will miss this place when I leave Baltimore.

Um . . . the best Thai food in Baltimore, for REALZ!! I think I've been going there for almost 3 years and have had everything on the menu. Consistent with a capital C! I can't say enough how amazing the food is. The waitstaff is dressed ever so beautifully in their silk pha sin's and keep the quick turn around just that so, no reservations are ever needed. I seem to always forget that this is a Bring Yo Own establishment, so make sure to bring yo own . . . the spices of Thai food deserve some alcohol! Be forewarned . . . if you are going on a date or just want to have a quiet dinner . . . FORGET ABOUT IT. The space is so small. And sometimes, people don't understand how to use an inside voice. But, the evil eye is a widely known and accepted hint to shut it!

We ordered take out here and wasn't sure of a milder curry, so the hostess recommended the Mussa-mun curry. We also ordered beef pad see ew, and chicken pad thai. All 4 of us were really impressed and the curry was excellent. The service was really good as well. It's right down the street from the Science Center in the Inner Harbor...I think it'll be worth the walk if you're in the mood for good Thai food.

I love this place! Have not had any bad or un-delicious dishes here. The drunken noodles are awesome. I recommend the pineapple curry The staff is nice and friendly. Even when they are very busy, they let you know what the wait will be without being rude. If you like thai food, this is your place!

FINALLY found a decent thai restaurant in Baltimore. This was our third try so we were thrilled to find pad thai that actually tasted and looked like pad thai!! Service was a bit slow and the meat a little dry, but other than that, the spices for the curry and the pad thai were excellent. Will definitely be going back there.

I'm not hard to please with Thai food. However, personally, I really don't like My Thai. And this place was the second Baltimore Thai place I've tried, and it was EXCELLENTT. It's in Federal Hill, so it's a nice night scene. It's really tiny, so if you don't have a big group, come early. They take reservations Friday and Sat nights for groups of 8 or more, only at early or late times though. That's what we did, and we didn't have any problem. The parking situation is dismal-- carpool if you can! The service is nice (even for our big group), the food was DELICIOUS, and the prices were just right. Also, we really liked the atmosphere! There were a lot of Thai decorations all around the walls and shelves, including really cool wallpaper (haha). A bunch of my friends are from southeast Asia, and they were really fond of this place. They said it reminded them of home (in a good way). We forgot it was BYOB and didn't bring anything, so that was not very cool. Can't say if they charge a corking fee or not. But will definitely be coming back to this place over and over again!

When I first moved to Baltimore and was hunting for a good Thai place, this was the place everyone raved about. The first two times I went, the food was pretty good; however in the past year, I feel like the food has gone downhill. I went w/ a group of six on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday night. I ordered the tom yum (vegetarian version) which was very good and had lots of yummy veggies. For my main entree, I ordered the Pad Thai and my other friends ordered Drunken Noodles and Pad See Ew...and we were all slightly disappointed. The Pad Thai was a bit flavorless and didn't contain enough sauce nor veggies. The Drunken Noodles was salty rather than spicy and Pad See Ew was too sweet and didn't contain any broccoli. The only highlight was the Thai iced tea. If you're desperate for a Thai place in the city, go here...but if you want a quality Thai meal...look elsewhere.

Solid, comforting, classic westernized Thai food. Incredibly nice and attentive staff. Is it innovative, 100% authentic and mind-blowing? No, it is not, but it is really solid at what it does. Go with reasonable expectations and you will be rewarded with a really pleasant experience. Ordered green curry with chicken and drunken noodles with beef. The curry chicken is made with sliced chicken breast, carrots, peas, bamboo shoots ect. but the curry was coconuty (without being too sweet), rich and well spiced. The noodles were flavorful and full of tender sliced beef. With both dishes, flavors were really nice with a hint of heat that slowly builds up. Our bill came to $24 before tax and tip. The portions were big so we walked away really full. It's a safe and easy walk from the inner harbor and a good alternative to expensive, junky chains (Cheesecake Factory/Hooters/Hard Rock ect.) if you are, like we were, staying in the area. Our expectations were low but we were hopeful and pleasantly surprised.

By far my favorite Thai in Baltimore. Try the tofu pad thai or drunken noodles.

Great food for a reasonable price. I usually get the crispy duck hot pot, but there are lots of vegetarian options. Best of all, its BYOB so you can keep the bill down by bringing your own booze without a corking fee. There are two tables outside, but don't expect to get one on nice nights. Place is a little small, like 12 tables more or less so it can fill up fast. There is also carryout if there are no tables available.

Just had lunch here today with my boyfriend. The portions are really generous and the food and service is top notch. I ordered the See Ew with chicken (highly recommend!) and my boyfriend had the Pad Thai. We were pleasantly surprised when our smiley waitress informed us that lunch also comes with a side of soup or salad. We both got the soup and I have to say it's some of the best tom yum I've ever had. I'm really picky about my tom yum...so much so that I actually decided I had to learn to make it myself because so many restaurants disappointed. Not Thai Arroy! =)

Thai Arroy is a decent thai restaurant. I certainly would not hesitate to point someone who wanted Thai food in their direction. Where Thai Arroy suffers most is I used to live close to a better, cheaper Thai food place (Siri's Chef Secret in Greenbelt). It's been a while since I ate at Thai Arroy so let me say that I did like it. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. The menu is one of those daunting mix-and-match jobs and I struggled a little to find what I wanted (spicy basil). The food was good, but not a direct hit. I suspect if I went back a few times I would find a groove that would bump them up to 4 stars. I may return at some point to test that theory.

I agree with the other posters here that Thai Arroy has the best Thai food in Baltimore. Hands down. The curries are fantastic, the service is pleasant and its BYOB. What more can you ask for?

By far, Thai Arroy has the best Thai food I've found in Baltimore. It's Drunken Noodles are delicious and I love the sticky rice for dessert. It's BYOB which really makes it a great place for a delicious and affordable dinner out.
