"Call Aroy the Cheers of Ravenswood, where the people who work here are all on a first-name basis with the regulars and their cats. This cash-only BYOB spot has a long menu of Thai staples, and the food—like pork shoulder with housemade jaew sauce—is always excellent. But it’s also the type of place where you’ll see what all the surrounding tables ordered, and then want to order it for your own table to split." - john ringor, veda kilaru, adrian kane
