Aroy Mak Thai Food

This Thai restaurant is one of my favorites! I always order the Hainan Chicken with ginger rice — it’s absolutely delicious and my go-to dish. The corn fritters are also really good and a favorite of my son’s. I’ve tried the En Kor Gai as well — it has a great flavor, but it comes with bones, so it’s not my favorite to eat. For dessert, I love their Mango Sticky Rice — it’s the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Definitely worth a visit!

This place is an absolute gem. We came in for a casual meal and left feeling like family. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming — especially sweet to our baby daughter, which made the whole experience even more special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We ordered the steamed chicken and the pad Thai — both were outstanding. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, and their sauces? Out of this world. Rich, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The pad Thai hit every note: a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tangy, with just the right amount of heat. It’s rare to find a spot with food this good and service this heartfelt. We’ll absolutely be back — not just for the amazing food, but for the warmth and kindness that made us feel right at home.

A gem of a place in North Seattle, and definitely worth a drive from Everett for us! Patty and her family have a lovely space that has a nice atmosphere. The parking can be a bit of pain,but the food makes up for it! The food is delicious with generous portions no matter if you dine in or take out, though we highly recommend that you dine in! Their Hainan chicken is easily one of the best I've had here in Seattle, it's definitely a comfort dish for me and they do an outstanding job here! You can also get the chicken grilled and fried too which are also good and come with sauces that match the preparation but I love their signature soy bean sauce. You can also build your own combo! The stir fried green beans in garlic sauce is good side dish to your meal too! Soo good, and they green beans are perfectly blistered. We also like their tom kha as well, the soup is flavorful and rich. They also have a select few common dishes such as phad thai, pad see eww and a few curries but what they are known for is their rice dishes. For Vegetarians don't fret they have great veggie choices too! Hopefully one day we won't be too stuffed to try their dessert offerings!

I’ve been coming here since they first opened and keep coming back at least every other week. Just realized I never left a review, so it’s finally time! It’s a small spot and always busy, but I’m happy to see them doing well—it means I’ll always have a great place to go. I love all their chicken, whether it’s fried, grilled, or boiled. The sauces that come with it are amazing. Their desserts are also a must-try, especially the Thai tea ice cream. They always have a special menu that changes monthly, and we make sure to try it every time. This month, they have Pad Thai, and I absolutely love it!

Absolutely outstanding! Best Thai food we've ever had! We had a talk with the owner and you'll be pleased to learn they make all of their vegan sauces from scratch, fresh! No fish sauce! They can turn most of their dishes vegan and they have a delicious vegan dish that's off the menu so just ask for the glass tofu. So flavorful!!! Huge portions, good prices, outstanding service. They are rated 4.9 and I can see why! They are also 100% peanut free and excellent with other food allergies and preferences.

Above average Thai Cuisine in the area with a main focus on chicken rice/noodles. Chicken was fried with great flavors and steamed to perfect tenderness. The aroy Thai chicken was a little too heavily battered and flavored but that’s more of a personal preference. Definitely an excellent spot if you are looking for tasty chicken rice nearby with a generous portion

I was surprised to see that there was a wait on a Tuesday night. Well, there’s a good reason because everything about this restaurant is amazing! Not only is the food all excellent, it is warm and fresh straight from the kitchen to your plate. It’s clear that there are no cut-corners at this restaurant, even seemingly innocuous items like the soup or rice sides taste amazing. Also, the staff are really top-notch, extremely friendly and they’re pretty funny too. They deserve their popularity and if you like even the concept of Thai food this is a must-visit place!

I don't think I can write this review without sounding hyperbolic or dramatic, but genuinely, their fried chicken is my favorite EVER fried chicken. Aroy Mak is my favorite Thai restaurant, and one of my favorite restaurants in general. They're aptly named, because everything we have tried has been Very Delicious. I think the true magic for me is in the sweet chili dipping sauce. The chicken by itself is so crispy, clean, and just GOOD. But then... that dipping sauce. The sweet chili sauce is a balanced amount of sweet & tangy, and has this depth of flavor that so perfectly melds with the chicken. Similar can be said of the soybean ginger sauce, which I love on the cucumbers and rice and which my bf practically drank straight from the dish. We also tried the coconut prawns and my gosh, they are fantastic as well. Just as crispy as the chicken and the coconut is beautifully toasted. And I must not forget the broth! The depth of flavor is expert level; I could have a big bowl of just that for a meal and be satisfied. My bf and I were frequent customers back when they were in West Seattle, and even though we sorely miss them over there, their place in Greenwood suits them wonderfully. It's a cozy and comfortable little place and the food is even more delicious fresh on plates than it was in takeout containers! We're looking forward to trying a curry next time as well as a dessert - this time we stuffed ourselves too full of chicken. I also need to mention their hospitality - they're friendly, courteous, and kind to boot! Aroy Mak is an absolute gem of Seattle. I've lived in SF, around NYC, and I'm regularly in LA - Aroy Mak could easily be a huge success in any of those places. This restaurant is a MUST TRY wherever you live in/around Seattle or if you're just visiting the area. Even if it's out of the way, it's 100% worth the trip.

Full on a Tuesday evening, Aroy Mak is obviously loved by the locals. We tried it because of the reviews and were not disappointed. A family restaurant with staff that felt caring were accommodating to our group that included a terribly behaved toddler. The food was not just delicious but also beautifully served without any pretension. My goodness was this experience a fresh breath of air in the conceited, stuffy world of Seattle restaurants. Full five stars, from our entire group.

I finally got a chance to try this place out and I'm really glad I did. I sampled each of their chicken dishes and honestly couldn't decide which was my favorite. All of them were cooked to perfection. There were a lot of choices for sauces and I only got to try 3. I think the soy ginger was my favorite, but all of them were excellent. I also tried the broccoli with mushroom sauce and that was love at first bite! Will order that every time I go from here out. I look forward to trying their appetizers, so they will see me again soon. Great Job Aroy Mak!!

Tucked in a small strip of businesses but nothing small about this place. The large flavors popped with every dish served, their signature is the Hainanese chicken rice dish which is a simple chicken delicacy with simmered veggies & an outstanding broth is a must try! The service is extraordinary. Small dining area so first come first serve. No reservations. There is a reason this hidden gem was just recently ranked top places to eat in the country! I will share photos next time I'm back.....

I'd had this place saved for a while and finally decided to try it after seeing it ranked #7 on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the US. Craving Thai food, we stopped by and were blown away! While there are a few spots in Seattle for chicken platters--like A Ma Chicken and Ginger Scallion--this restaurant is definitely a must-try. We visited on a Sunday at 6 PM and waited about 40 minutes for a table. Fortunately, you can put your name down and they'll call you when your table is ready. The restaurant was packed, and for good reason! I loved how the menu was both simple and diverse, offering a range of starters, drinks, and desserts, with the main focus on chicken platters. They also feature monthly off-menu specials. CORN FRITTERS - 5/5 This dish was outstanding. Maybe I'm biased because I love taro, but the deep-fried taro combined with glutinous corn bits was incredibly satisfying. The exterior was perfectly crisp, while the inside was soft, starchy, and almost creamy. The glutinous corn added a pleasant chewiness as well. The texture and flavor were spot-on--definitely a highlight of the meal. I would order this again without hesitation! KHAO MAN GAI, GAI TOD, GAI YANG - 4/5 The Khao Man Gai (Hainan chicken) was the standout for us. The meat was tender, and the signature soybean ginger sauce complemented it perfectly, making each bite satisfying. The Gai Tod (fried chicken) was our second favorite--the coating was nice and crunchy, but some pieces were a bit dry while others were tender. The Gai Yang (grilled chicken) was good but probably ranked last for me; the meat was a bit on the dry side (maybe its supposed to taste like this?). However, the sauce that came with it was a nice touch. I really wanted to try the drinks and desserts, but the portions were huge and we were too full! Service was really good especially given how busy it was. Food came quickly and the servers were attentive. The interior was also very cute with paintings of Thai food, Thai decor. I also liked the plates and trays they used. Parking is limited, but we didn't have any problems getting a spot. Aroy Mak Thai is a must try in Seattle and definitely a 5 in my book! I can't wait to come back to try more things and get the corn fritters again :)

Food is fantastic, first time that I've had yellow curry that was this flavorful! The drinks were also very good. This place is PACKED. Well worth the wait though. The staff is very polite. Would highly recommend. This place deserves it's place on the top 100 places to eat list.

Always having high hopes is usually a trap for expectations. Aroy Mak was newly appointed Yelp Top 100. That is one hefty achievement and congrats to Aroy Mak Thai Food! However, I am a food snob for sure, sorry, not sorry. Restaurant spacing, cleanliness, restrooms are top notch. 5 Stars. Service 3.5 Stars. Nice, Friendly, however, if you're coughing and around food, serving it, please wear a mask.... Food 3.3 Stars. Good to decent. Nothing was mind blowing. Sacues were tasty but honestly needs a bit more of a kick to bring it all out. The chicken which is the star and focus is very clean, but the temperature is just a tad too lukewarm for my tastes. Again, enjoyed it but top 100 worthy, no. All the food photos were tasty, just n o t what I was hoping for which is "I GOT TO return asap!" First visit, line was out the door, had to skip. Second visit line was just inside the door. Worth a wait with line out the door? Absolutely not. Worth it if you are nearby and line just inside the door? Yes.

Authentic Thai restaurant! We went on a Saturday evening and the place was packed, but luckily we got seated right away. We got their grilled chicken and broiled chicken combo as well as the monthly special - shrimp dry curry. Service was a bit slow, although they were polite. The combo came out first, but the dried curry dish came out more than 15 minutes later, by the time we were done with the first one. Good thing we were sharing everything. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken - perfectly glazed and juicy. I didn't really like the broiled chicken compared to others I've had before, but my husband liked it. The dried curry was pretty good. Overall, a pretty cozy place with decent food.

Cute little shop in a small shopping center. I had heard it was good but honestly it's better than I thought it would be! Went at 5:30pm on a weekday and it was right before the dinner rush. The restaurant went from one table occupied to people waiting outside in like an hour. We got different chicken combo plates and the food was a decent amount. The fried chicken blew me away and I will be coming back for that specifically. The crispiness of the coating is unreal and the sweet chili sauce it is paired with is divine. Coming with rice, soup and cucumbers, this is such a well rounded meal. For dessert, we got the milk pudding. It was a bit sweeter than we would have liked, but it was a great ending to a wonderful meal. All the staff are so nice and I'm so glad I found this place to try out!

Ayyyy, If anyone is seeking a yummy chicken and rice/noodle dish but done in a Thai style... search no more and come on over to Aroy. This place is so good that I almost contemplated on not reviewing it but it's too good to keep it to myself :) After visiting this cozy place numerous times, here are the highlights that keeps me coming back for more: 1. Service: Phenomenal staff! The very first time I came here, it was during that random cyclone bomb / windstorm that resulted in a power outage. Even when the restaurant was blacked out, the staff made extra effort to keep the food cooking and keep customers comfortable. As for subsequent visits, staff is always friendly and welcoming and quick to help out with whatever you need/want :) 2. The Chicken!: Here at Aroy, protein options are simple: Chicken or Tofu... and if you like chicken, you came to the right spot. Served primarily in three different ways (deep fried/Gai Tod, Hainan/ Man Gai, or roasted /Gai Yang) + other choices like the monthly special, garlic, or pineapple, any chicken option you pick will be delicious. I tried all of the chicken options and absolutely am a fan of all! Especially the Gai Tod where it's crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and comes with a great dipping sauce. 3. Combos: I love how you have the option to pick a premade combo (Rice or Noodles, Soup, Chicken, Dipping Sauce) or make your own! Portions wise, you'll definitely leave here in a food coma trance or bring home leftovers. 4. Appetizers and Desserts: So far, all the options I have tried are so good! Most memorable would be: Corn Fritters, Wonton Cheese, Kanom Tuay. 5. Honorable Mentions / Yummy Sides: Oh boy, I must say that the garlic fried rice, Wintermelon soup and the green beans are absolutely worth eating. Yum yum yum 6. Side Notes: Parking lot is available in front of Aroy. Place gets packed at all times, so do recommend coming in and getting your name on the wait list. For those who order takeout, use the Aroy online ordering system! Quick and efficient with text reminders when your food is ready :) Can't wait to come back again and savor all the desserts wooo!

This place is absolutely amazing!!! Truly a 5/5. FOOD: We did the build your own plate and was able to try the four chicken options. I personally loved the Hainan style chicken. It's super juicy and the sauce that comes with it is flavorful. I recommend adding a second protein for $3 so that you're able to try two styles of their chicken! The fried chicken was also really good and same with the grilled version. For the carbs, they offer jasmine rice, garlic rice, and garlic noodles. All options of carbs were great but I would recommend their garlic noodles and rice! For dessert, we had their Pandan crepe cake which was perfect for finishing off a hearty meal. We decided to share a slide amongst the four of us since our meal was quite heavy so this crepe cake being light was perfect! We also ordered their Thai tea and green Thai tea which were pretty standard and delicious. I was pleased that they offered green Thai tea since there aren't very many places that offer this variant. SERVICE: Phenomenal! Super nice and attentive staff who would check in from time to time. It's a small restaurant but there is a home feel to it making it a comfortable place to eat. Overall, it will be my new go to place. The portion size is great and for the price that you pay and the quality of food that you're getting, it's a good value!

The spectacular Yelp average speaks for itself. This place is rated 5 stars and deserves it! We came in hungry for lunch and they did not disappoint. Based on the signage, I think this place is on the newer side? It's in a tiny strip mall and the parking lot was completely full, but we found street parking down the road. Service was excellent. We were seated pretty much immediately and had our order taken. I honestly think we only waited like five or 10 minutes before our food was ready. They came to check on us to see how everything was tasting and made sure we always had water. We were beyond satisfied and would absolutely return for a scrumptious meal.

What a find! A northern Thai family run restaurant offering up really tasty dishes that we don't usually find in Vancouver. We love the intense spicyness of northern thai food. Their chicken knuckle appy is a must get. Great seasoning and crunchiness. Genius. They still offer traditional pad se ew with great wok hei but you won't go wrong with any of their chicken dishes. Very flavoursome and paired well with their sauces and ginger rice. Will definitely go back the next time as well.

I think my friend was raving about the place a while ago so I had this place in my mind for quite some time. I had a free afternoon on a weekday so I decided to try it on a whim. It took me this long to go there because I'm never in the area and I'm usually not too psyched about taking the bus to an unfamiliar place. But I'm glad I did it!! I had the combination of simmered chicken and grilled chicken with the usual rice, cucumber, and some sauce. This was probably the best khao man gai I had in the US. I wasn't keen on some of the khao man gai I had elsewhere because they are sometimes too fatty/heavy or the meat is too dry. But this restaurant did it perfectly. Chicken pieces were tender and not dry at all and the dish was not too heavy that I could continue eating for a long time. It's a pretty generous portion so I didn't finish eating in one sitting. I saw on the menu that this dish is medium spicy, and knowing how Thai spicy can get deadly at times, I was a little cautious -- but it was absolutely nothing to worry about. One sauce was spicier than the other one but it was still barely spicy. I like my khao man gai not spicy, so I appreciated that. I had no idea how long the trip home was going to be, so I just ordered takeout this time. But there was a warm atmosphere at the restaurant and the guy taking order was welcoming and polite. I would love to dine in next time. I also saw green curry in the menu and wonder if that would be good too.

I have only heard good things about this restaurant from my friends but it truly blew me away when I went yesterday night! The first thing I noticed right away was how cozy and warm this restaurant was from their friendly and quick service to how well decorated the inside was! They truly put so much thought into every part of their business and I can tell! Their khao man gai was a classic that everyone recommended but they offered a combo choice for 3 more dollars which was a great way to try new protein choices. They also have the option to customize your own dish which was a great option as well but I wanted to stick with the classics! They also have monthly specials that I absolutely loved! The Tom yum noodle soup was savory, sweet and spicy which really hit the spot for me as a Tom yum lover!!! I loved every dish that came out and they're leaving me wanting more. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to come to a high quality restaurant with good people!

Delicious Thai food and very kind and considerate staff! Got a vegan tofu garlic dish and a panang curry vegan. Both were really good. What was lovely and unsurprising was after the staff gave me my tofu, they quickly came back and said they were going to make me a new one because the ginger rice that was next to the tofu was made with chicken broth. They were panicked but I had never said I was vegan, they just assumed because of what I ordered. This was above and beyond and I really appreciated it! Will be back to try more.

I have a pre-existing 5 star review. However, l'm having issues posting 4 photos taken from a 10/2/24 visit. Removed & reinstalled app to address this strange glitch. Seems I have post another review? So here's the succinct deets. Consistent 5 star food, bevs and service. Worthy detour for amazing Thai cuisine in Seattle's Broadview neighborhood. Support this indie, family run business.

Absolutely one of my favorite Thai spots in Seattle! I ordered their combo with gai tod and gai yang (fried chicken and grilled chicken) and both really hits the spot. The gai tod had a nice crispy texture that kept making me want more. But flavor wise, my favorite was the gai yang as it was marinated so well in nice umami and sweet flavors. The sauces accompanying the chicken were also really good. The servers are also really kind and take the time to recommend dishes. Parking can be a challenge on weekends but overall really good!!

The food was delicious and well made! We got the build your own plate with hainan chicken and the grilled chicken. I absolutely love the hainan chicken and the sauce it comes with? So good! We got two proteins on our plate which cost a little more but it's not by a lot and the portion is enough if not a lot. We also got the Thai green tea which i absolutely love! I love that there is a choice of what rice you can get. We got the ginger rice and the sticky rice. There are also different sauces you can get and can get more sauces by paying a little extra. There was a bit of a wait on a Friday afternoon but it was about 20 minutes. The interior isn't fancy but still decorated properly. It'll def be a place to get a nice meal and a very nice price.

The food was good, I expected maybe a little better due to the hype. I ordered the curry with chicken (the only protein available is chicken or tofu) it was good. We also had the fried chicken (thighs only avail) with noodles; it was also good...just not great. Service was quick and kind. The ambiance was casual and very clean restrooms. The curry would have been better if it was creamier and richer, also offer shrimp as a protein would have been nice. I think Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen in Lynnwood is much tastier: Chu Chi Red Curry (Shrimp protein) is so creamy and savory also the 'crying tiger' medium rare steak is amazing. Also Fu Shen in N Seattle on Aurora has amazing Chinese food, very clean whole food ingredients-try the east coast ribs, bbq pork fried rice, beef chow fun.

Everything here was very good. I tried each of the three types of cooked chicken: grilled, fried, and simmered. They went great with the variety of sauces. It's a little pricier than I would have liked, but pretty typical for the area. I was happy with the food though, so would definitely come back.

This place is such a hidden gem! Server was super sweet and helpful in recommending dishes. We tried a red curry and one of the chicken combos (#2). When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation, the plates they used reminded me of home, and the portions were huge! We also got a side of the egg noodles just to try it, and they paired really well with the curry. Flavors of the chicken was amazing, it tasted very authentic. Sitting in this restaurant made me feel like I was back in Asia. Super cozy place, I'll definitely be back!

Wow. Great value and delicious food. While it is a bit further up in Seattle and hard to reach by public transit, this place is a relatively short drive up with decent amount of parking. I went here on a Thursday dinner and it was fairly busy, but I was seated immediately. I got the combo khao man gai (hainan chicken) + gai tod (Thai deep-fried chicken) which came with 2 sauces, and you can dip either meat with either sauce and you cannot go wrong. The Hainan chicken is so tender and flavorful, and the deep-fried chicken is nicely flavored and very juicy. The rice is ginger chicken rice so that itself has some nice aroma to it. The soup that came with the dish was fairly refreshing and a good palate cleanser in between. Service is quick and water refills are present. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and I see myself coming back for more!

Every bite of this meal was so incredibly satisfying. My taste buds were thriving!! The Khao Man Gai Tod (fried chicken with pineapple sauce) was seasoned perfectly and had just the right amount of crunch. The Khao Man Gai (Hainan Chicken) was so fresh and tender too! BUT I MUST SAY - what truly perfected this meal was the rice and winter melon soup! Workers are so attentive and kind, my only con was having to wait an hour... well worth it though!

Great little spot up north on Greenwood Ave. Good food and friendly service. Worth the wait on a typical Friday evening. Also seemed to be doing well with take out customers.

The food was amazing not your typical cookie cutter house of Thai food. Each plate was accompanied by a selection of sauces and a fantastic winter melon soup that was sublime. Dessert was a fresh orange cake that was delightfully light so scrumptious. Parking is tight, so if you're going to meet with friends, I recommend that you car pool. The specials menu changes regularly, so if something catches your eye don't hesitate. Service is efficient and friendly the ambiance is better than most small restaurants. One item of note, this place keeps immaculate restrooms. I will be back.

This small restaurant has simple and clean decor, friendly and efficient service, and delicious food. We sampled all of their type chickens, with the deep-fried chicken being our favorite. The side of squash chicken broth soup is a delightful addition to their chicken dishes. The sauce is exceptional--absolutely nothing was left on our plates. The sticky mango rice is also good, though I would prefer it to be a tad less sweet, but it's still delicious. As someone who values cleanliness, I must mention that their bathroom was spotless. So glad we have given this place a try, and the rating is well-deserved. daughter's review is this place : The food was awesome the logo is cute

This place is an underrated gem, and no doubt one of the best Thai places I've ever been to - even compared to nationwide accolade places. On top of that, the owners and staff are so friendly, and you can tell their heart and authenticity is poured into the food. We had a combo with crispy fried chicken and grilled chicken. As well as the khao soi noodle special and pandan crepe cake for dessert. The chicken was fantastic, but what blew us away was the garlic sauce that they gave us a sample of (which normally comes with another dish). The side of fish sauce with herbs was strong in the best way possible. The chicken broth, which I normally associate with poached chicken rice, was so rich and packed with umami in flavor, yet light and nuanced at the same time. The khao soi blew us the way. The amount of flavor and complexity, balanced with perfectly creamy coconut and spices/sweetness, was utterly addictive. The fried birds nest of noodles was yummy too, but the perfectly al dente non-fried noodles were the perfect texture and thickness to soak up the magical broth. Although we were already full, we couldn't resist the pandan chiffon cake. It wasn't too sweet and so delicious, with that delicate, indescribable pandan flavor. The layers of coconut cream were perfect. The texture was soft and melt in your mouth, and all the flavors popped and were so fresh. On top of that, the owner stopped by our table to check on us and ask us about the food. The place was busy for good reason, and doesn't seem like it will be a secret for long!

Easily the best Thai spot in the north end area. Originally a to-go only space in West Seattle, the owners moved to Greenwood to fulfill their goal of having both eat-in tables and to-go options. I came here with two others for a late lunch on labor day weekend and it great! Two of us got the COMBO KHAO MAN GAI TOD + GAI YANG and the other got the THAI PANANG CURRY WITH CHICKEN. We also got a spicy eggplant chicken dish to share. Everything was so good! The chicken. Was crispy and fresh, and the accompanying sauces really helped add unique flavors to the chicken. I'd be remiss to not mention the service. The owner (I didn't get her name) was our waitress and she was extremely kind, attentive and personable. She came over to check in many times and ask how everything was tasting, etc. I will definitely be back!

Wow just wow. We had excellent service here. Our server was friendly, nice and funny. She was very hospitable in helping us decide what was delicious to order. We loved the restaurant space in itself. It felt very cozy like a local mom and pop restaurant. The food was amazingly delicious. I got the build your own meal. I ordered the noodle, fried chicken and the Thai chicken. It came with a soup on the side. The clear broth was delicious and richly flavored. The meal was enough for two people. It was so good. I couldn't stop eating! The dessert here was excellent too. We got the mango sticky rice with mango ice cream. It was a huge scoop of ice cream. Everything was wonderful here.

Was craving Hainan chicken one day and this place happened to pop up on my front page of Yelp so decided to check it out! I can definitely say this satisfied my craving! I got the Hainan chicken and a mango sticky rice for dessert. The chicken was so soft and tender! It came with a ginger sauce that paired so well with the chicken. The sauce was amazing, very good flavor. The soup was also very refreshing. The rice had good flavor too. The cucumber in the dish was cut very thick, nothing wrong with that but was a little unexpected. The mango sticky rice came with 3 different colors (so I assumed) flavors of sticky rice. The mango was very sweet which is the best part of this dessert. With the coconut milk the dessert felt overly sweet. I would have liked if it was less sweet, but I still enjoyed it. Definitely coming back here! All of the servers were so kind and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal :)

Food is delicious and plentiful. Service was pleasant and fast. Glad they're close to my house!

We love this place! It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood. We have been here several times and have found the food to be consistently delicious and service exemplary. We try to order something different at each visit, but we like what we like. My daughter's go to is the garlic chicken, mine is the combo meal with the simmered Hainan chicken and the Thai fried chicken and hubby's is the combo with grilled chicken and Thai fried chicken. Each dish comes with accompanying sauces. Our favorite dessert so far has been the mango sticky rice. You know this place is good when your Yelp/IG friends are posting about it too and you run into them at the restaurant! Thanks Monica and Marie! The owners and staff are so kind and welcoming. I plan to try one of the curry dishes on the next visit, as well as a different dessert.

This Khao Man Gai spot is incredible! I ordered off-menu and got a combo plate with all three types of chicken--steamed, fried, and grilled. All three were excellent, but the grilled chicken (Gai Yang) was my favorite. It was perfectly seasoned and aromatic. Each chicken type came with its own sauce, just like in Thailand. The soup was also a great addition. To top it off, we enjoyed pandan sticky rice with longan, which was 100% authentic and transported me right back to Thailand. The staff is incredibly friendly too. If I lived in Seattle, I'd be here all the time.

I was craving for something different so I made the hub take me here. It's far and out of the way for us, but I was determined to try out their storefront now that they've opened a restaurant. The food was as good as I remember when we tried it the first time. Soup was simple and light. The rice has a nice ginger aroma. The staff was really nice and attentive. The atmosphere and mural on the walls is beautiful and so fitting. Can't go wrong here for the items they have on the menu. I would come back here again.

I found this gem through my friend who used to frequent this place back when they were just a food truck in West Seattle. It is now my favorite Thai restaurant in Seattle and so glad they are near me! Aroy Mak translates to Very Delicious and they do live up to their name. I always order the same thing whenever I go, which is the Khao Man Gai Tod and Gai Yang combo, also known as the fried chicken and grilled chicken combo. Big portions of chicken that go well with their two dipping sauces, ginger rice and chicken broth soup. Their thai tea is great as well. The owner is very personable and made an effort to get to know us. When we went to dine in for the first time after only doing take out twice, she remembered us which is always a nice welcoming feeling.

Aroy Mak opened in West Settle 2020. Mostly as a takeaway (covid happend) working in a communal kitchen (The owner had told us and I'm going off by my memory) serving West Seattle authentic Thai comfort food. Not going to lie, I ate mostly fried chicken while I was in Thailand. Fragrant rice paired with crispy chicken, fresh and picked veg and a sweet chili sauce? The perfect meal in my opinion. But don't sleep on the Hainan chicken either, its moist, flavorful and boneless. Now that they have a brick-and -motar location in Greenwood it was time to see what the hype was all about. We were able to snag the last parking spot in this small shopping complex. Once we were seated, we looked over the menu. I love a menu with pictures. The menu (as well as their online menu) has photos of all the items you can order as well as spice levels and dietary restrictions. Want a little bit of everything? They do have a build your own plate for the picky eater in us. I love the fact that they have combo plates as well as an add-on section. If you're looking for curries, they have that too! What we ordered: Khao Man Gai Yang (Northeast style grilled chicken with noodles) $16 Combo Kao Man Gai Tod & Gai Yang (Simmered and Fried Chicken) $19 Thai Yellow Chicken With Roti $17 Mango Sticky Rice $12 My chicken rating: 1st Fried Chicken 2ed Simmered Chicken & Grilled Chicken. With the rice/noodles, soup and sauces its hard to not enjoy these meals. My only wish is that I lived closer so I'd go back more often. Finishing with the Mango Sticky Rice was a grate way to end our meal as well as very pretty to eat. For this quality of food and at this price point it worth going back again. 10/10 would come back! Do support this small business and with everything take every review with a grain of salt. Just go and try it yourself.

4.4 stars. We came to try their popular chicken dishes, starting with the deep-fried chicken tendons (knuckles) $12. These were crispy and lightly battered, with a good crunch. The lemon grass chicken wings, a special of the day on their board $12, were a bit dry but still flavorful. We also tried the Combo Khao Man Gai (Hainanese chicken) with Gai Tod (crispy fried chicken) $19. While the chicken wasn't exactly Hainanese chicken as the sauces and rice were different, it was still poached, resulting in tender and soft meat. I preferred the Gai Tod, which had a good light batter and soft meat. Had another make your own combo $19 Hainanese chicken with their grilled chicken over egg noodles. The combo also came with a delicious winter melon soup. The Roti $6 was also great for the kids; they enjoyed dipping it in different sauces. Our server was nice and had good recommendations. The bathroom and tables were clean, and that's always a good sign. Probably because they are still relatively new, hopefully it stays this way. For our family of four, the bill came to around $80 before tip. We didn't get to try selections of dessert this time, but we will definitely be back to try it and other dishes.

I was blown away to find a Thai restaurant in this area serving such amazing food--it's hard to find this level of deliciousness even in Thailand. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor. If you drop by, don't skip their desserts; they're not just a dessert like at other places. The portions are huge and super tasty. We stopped in without any big expectations, but this turned out to be our favorite meal of the year.

The food here is amazing. Tasty and consistent. The service is great and they're always friendly. I've been here a few times and I love the experience. Would highly recommend you go here. Their rice was not mushy, cooked to perfection and aromatic. Their Gai Tod (fried chicken) was crispy yet tender. I did prefer their grilled chicken over the fried because it was more flavorful. So glad we got the Chinese broccoli, it was tasty. The dessert? Sooo good. Would suggest saving room for them.

They were short a server tonight but food came quickly with a warm smile on a busy Saturday night. My family is from Thailand and it was great to have authentic flavors - really nicely poached hainan chicken although not as strong garlic flavor as I prefer. Corn fritters used fresh corn and taro - nothing from a can - which made these stand out. Will be back next time to try more!

Excellent food, incredibly friendly service. We've been back to Aroy Mak several times since first trying it, and everything we've tried has been excellent. The servers are really friendly, the space is small but always clean and tidy. Great vegetarian options and staff is mindful of what items contain fish sauce and egg. My top pics: - Pumpkin curry (seasonal) with tofu - build your own meal with garlic fried rice, garlic tofu, and spicy Thai sauce Also great: - pad thai - pad see ew

Welcome to the Greenwood neighborhood, Aroy Mak Thai Food! Now I got a new place to frequent if I'm ever craving some solid Thai food. My wife and I came in on a Sunday evening, and having the tables pretty bustling and full is usually a good sign. The interior of the restaurant is really quaint, and we love the Seattle + Aroy Mak mural on the wall! +1 for aesthetics My wife and I ordered the chicken dishes, and we wanted to try all three types of chicken (Hainan, fried, and grilled). I ordered the egg noodles whereas my wife ordered her combo to come with ginger rice. First off: wow, the soup they serve was delicious! Super simple and clean, and I downed my soup in a heartbeat. The chicken were cooked beautifully, and my order of preference would be: 1. Hainan 2. Grilled 3. Fried Don't get me wrong - all three were delicious and moist, as chicken should be. The fried had a lot of batter though and didn't seem as satisfying compared to the Hainan or grilled chicken. The ginger sauce that came with the Hainan chicken though -- chef's freaking kiss. I hate ginger myself, but I was drowning every piece of chicken in that marvelous concoction. My only qualm? The noodles (as seen in the photo) seemed like a lot - which it was! But secretly underneath the noodles lie a bed of cabbage. One of my pet peeves is when restaurants mask the quantity of noodles or something with an unsuspecting surprise, which in this case was just plain cabbage. I would lose the cabbage and would love more noodles. But overall - wow, this place should get more attention. My wife and I left content, smiling to know that we have a great Thai staple so close to our home.

Highly recommend this place! The food is so delicious, and the chicken was great with the dipping sauces. I highly recommend getting the combos to try multiple of the chicken entrees they have. The soup had a simple and light taste which complimented the bold flavors of the dish. The desserts are a MUST. My favorite was the pandan sticky rice with longan. So delicious and great taste of pandan. There is a parking lot and is free for customers.

Great food, great service and comfortable. What else need to be said? We went to Aroy Mak as we had heard that it had the best Khao Mun Gai in the area. Boy is that right. We tried all three kinds of chicken - steamed, grilled and fried - and they were uniformly excellent. The portions were great - more than my family can eat, so we had leftovers for dinner, and it was still good. Each kind of chicken was served with a different kind of chilli sauce. We aren't sure which sauce was meant to go with which chicken, so we tried all 9 combinations. And they all worked! Service was warm, attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the car park is way too small.

Has a really great and delicious time at Aroy Mak! Seriously the only downside to this restaurant, is that it's not close enough to my house. But still totally worth the drive to venture out here and try all of their dishes. We got their combo rice plate with fried chicken and hainam chicken. Their grilled chicken with noodles. We wanted to try the whole shibang! Our favorite was the fried chicken. It hits all the key factors of what makes a solid fried bird! Moist, crispy, and flavorful. Now say moiisssstttttt, super slow and lick your lips at the end. Because that's what this dish does. We liked all three types. Very different types of chicken.. but fried wins hands down. Rice, yum. Noodles, yum. Each grain and strand has flavor that complimented the chicken really well. Sauces... bold, rich, sweet, sour, tangy... just extra umph you needed. Service was quick, attentive, and food came out so fast... which makes up for the long drive that worked up your appetite. Had to finish with some sticky rice and mango. Definitely order this to finish off your fantastic meal. Then do yourself a favor and order some combos to go. Because you'll be talking about this place for a long time, and wishing you had some to eat again the next day.

Fast service. Hot food. Extremely reasonable prices. Nice sit-down atmosphere. The most authentic meal I've had since I've been in Bangkok. My friend and I walked in and giggled because we saw a man in the corner who just was rubbing his belly from having such a big meal. We soon found out why he was rubbing his belly in such a satisfied way. My vegan gluten-free friend and I had (what she described as "the tastiest meal I've ever had") The entree of stir fried Green beans with fried garlic, two build your own entrees, and dessert for $59. The stir-fried green beans were insanely yummy. The tofu had an amazing sauce and the Jasmine rice was fragrant. Bland soup is a nice addition with the cucumber and cilantro. We both chose to have the sweet chili sauce and our server brought us a special house sauce she wanted us to try. I got the Thai fried Chicken and the ginger rice which was also delicious. I really loved the ginger rice and I would suggest getting that if you are willing to step outside of the box. You could tell that everything was made in house with fresh ingredients and that these sauces were homemade with fresh ground ginger. They had the right kinds of chilies and really just blew me away. For dessert, we had the mango sticky rice which was beautiful with the three colors of sticky rice (white, blue pea flower and green) extra sticky syrup, extra sesame seeds, and sweet ripe mango. Special kind of mango that is the sweet variety native to Thailand. I cannot stress how flavorful this was. And it was flavor bomb after flavor bomb. The kitchen knocked it out of the park. You have to get the mango sticky rice when you go here and no matter what you order you're going to love it because everything is so fresh and authentically thai The real cherry on top was that the menu was very clearly labeled as to which dishes were vegan and gluten free. My friend who has dietary sensitivities was able to eat here with no problem and I was able to order a dish that I could share with them as well. It's always nice to share food with a friend and I got to split my ginger rice with her Jasmine rice. My Thai fried Chicken was immaculate. It was crispy and juicy and tender and melted in my mouth. The tofu was also delicious that just left us dancing. I swear the whole meal. Our entire conversation was just mmmmmmm. Mmmm-mmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmm. ‍ Hit after hit after hit.

***This is more of a 4.5 star*** I heard a lot of good things about this place and was excited when I had the opportunity to try it. I ordered the BYO dish because I wanted to try a variety of things: Egg noodle + grilled chicken, steamed chicken, and fried chicken as well as a side order of ginger rice. It also came with soup on the side. For about $27, it was a good amount as it fed both me and my husband. Everything tasted really good. My husband really like the ginger rice and he ate most of it. I like that all of the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was tender, juicy and good flavors. The people here are really nice and service was fast. We ordered to go and got everything in a reasonable amount of time. They even offered different sauces. It was busy but everything seems to go smoothly, so I think they got everything done even though they recently opened. The only reason for the half star knock off is because the food made me very thirsty. I had to drink a lot of water after. Otherwise, everything was good and I would come back

My all time favorite ever and the people are so nice! The chicken tendon is what I usually order and the hainan style chicken. But everything here is good

COMBO KHAO MAN GAI TOD + GAI YANG was fire - really good and filling. I really liked how crispy the chicken was and the flavor of the rice. The owner of the restaurant was very kind and told us the background of the restaurant. It started out of a commercial kitchen and her dream was to open a dine in restaurant. She even gave us some of their home made brown sauce to have with the meal. I would definitely come back again.
