Aroi ka! Fabulous street Thai food, fast personable service, cold Thai beer, and casual ambiance. Thai for 'Aroi is delicious and the menu items are indeed delicious!

Delicious! Wonderful! Prompt!

Now, I used to live in West Kensington (a decade ago), and I don't recall if this is the same Thai restaurant that I used to frequent -- but I popped in here last week while I was in the neighborhood again and was very pleased.

Since I was a party of one, I placed my order online for pick up. It was ready in about 12 minutes -- fantastic! 

I ordered the chicken pad see eew, and it was delicious!

Portion size was also very generous. I ate probably 3/4 (I was quite hungry), but was able to have the last quarter for lunch the next day. It held up great, too!

 I also appreciate the study take away containers! The hard-sealing containers made it certain that the contents wouldn't spill out.

Highly recommend! Very good!

Place was right across our Airbnb so we had to try this for take-away (although you can certainly eat inside).  Got a bunch of dishes to share that came out fast -- 15min after we called our order in. 
1. Corn Fritters - 4 nice ones in size, crunchy batter, but they did hide Coriander Leaves inside and I am allergic (wasn't listed on the menu).  8/10
2. Chicken Wings. - good, very crunchy thick batter with tangy sauce 7/10
3. #26 Soba Pad Pong Kari - noodles with shrimp and onions - bit different but we scarfed it down.  8/10
4. Yellow Chix Curry - nice sauce, white meat chix. Lots of rice. 8/10
5. Chicken and Pork skewers. Chix one was tender with amazing peanut sauce -- pork one a bit dry -- maybe because I ordered at 2pm after lunch hous? 

All in all, a solid place with a huge menu - would recommend for large portions of good Thai food.

The owner was very friendly and hospitable. I couldn't decide between the hot tea flavors, so he suggested I mix them all together. It was a delicious idea! He also suggested the soup; it was full of flavor and had a generous amount of large shrimp in it. I basically let him pick out everything for me and he did not disappoint!

I had dinner here with 1 other person on a Thursday night. Neither of us realized it was cash only until we got there (we came here on a whim), but thankfully the cash only notice was pretty prominently displayed and there was an ATM just a few feet away. It was pretty empty when we arrived at around 6:30, but it got busy about an hour later and people were starting to need to wait for tables (it's a small restaurant).

Everything I had was well made and delicious. I ordered a chrysanthemum herbal iced tea, chicken pad thai, and the coconut ice cream with sticky rice sundae for dessert. The iced tea was sweet and had a pleasant fragrant note--a bit perfume-y, but in a good way. My pad thai was tasty and a very generous portion. The dessert was well presented and I liked the contrast between the hot sticky rice and the ice cream. My friend got the massaman curry and really enjoyed it; note the rice comes separate. A few people around us ordered hot teas and they came with a cute pot of honey. 

The service was a bit slow for my liking, but it was probably because they got so busy when we were about to leave. It took us a few tries to get the bill. The food was pretty reasonably priced; our total order came out to be about £35, including 2 entrées, the side order of rice, my iced tea and dessert, and a beer. I would be happy to come here again if I'm ever back in the area. They also do takeaway.

A different kind of Thai from what I am used to but it was overall pretty good. Eat-Aroi Cafe specializes in what is known as Thai street food. 

The equivalent of pineapple fried rice, my personal Thai standard bearer, was good, not great. It could have used a little more flair and flavor. 

What WAS great: the Kao gaeng Kiew waan. They advertise it as "the most popular green chicken curry outside of Thailand" and I believe them! It was a unique flavor I don't think I have had before. I finished it wanting a lot more. 

The chicken satay was good with a flavorful peanut sauce. I would have preferred a more tender and softer chicken, but that's my personal preference. If you like your chicken a bit firmer, this is for you. My daughter couldn't get enough. 

The pad thai, my wife's Thai food standard bearer, was excellent. 

Enjoy!

The food was pretty good here.  We got the pad see eww and seafood something, I can't remember.  It was about 3 months ago when we came here.  The food was memorable enough for me to remember that their pad see eww was good.  They provided us with decent sized portions.  The food tasted yummy.

The one thing that I was a little annoyed about was that they served the guy who ordered after us first.  They brought his take out first before they brought our's.  I don't know if it was because we ordered two items or because he was a regular customer but I think you should do it in a line order style.  The person who orders first should be given their food first rather than have to wait for the guy who came 5 min after.  This is just a minor sore point but aside from that, pretty decent food.

Cash only!

A review from a tourist perspective. 

We had a group of 5 on a Tuesday evening. No wait, but had to sit at the community table. They are not set up for groups larger than 4. 

It looks like a neighborhood place. Rather small in space, but worth a try. 

Our food was delicious! The waitstaff was attentive, but did not hover. Food was out within 10 minutes of ordering. 

All of us thought the place was a great find and a short walk from the hotel (Ibis). 

Prices were between 8 and 12 pounds per entree. 

Five stars if they could hold larger groups and if they could better control the temperature...it was rather warm inside.

We had 3 different Thai place when we visited London and I ought to say that this beats all of them. 

Friendly service 
Very clean 
Large portions 
Fair price. 

We had the 
po tak which is a sour soup- very flavorful with a little kick of spice.
Thai street lemongrass chicken - something I haven't taste in a Thai restaurant but I'm glad I got it. It really help to cut down the sourness of the soups. 
Another item we ordered was bbq pork on a stick which pairs well with everything we ordered.

I must say great food and great service.
I wish you guys will get more noticed! 
I will definitely return and I am a very satisfied customer.

Glad to see this newcomer to West Kensington. It's a newly opened thai "street food" restaurant with new management, decor and menu, on the site of an older thai restaurant. This new place is better in terms of style - what's I'd call modern library chic, and cooking. While a little more expensive, the quality of the food makes it still very good value for money. Using pad thai as a benchmark, at £7.95, you can easily compare it to your local.

Together this new thai place, and the nearby Best Mangal are setting the bar for West Kensington.

Eat Aroi Thai has a modern clean style, with grey tones, a chandelier and plenty of lighting. Seating options include booths, tables and a raised seating bar in the center.

For our first foray we did takeaway, which was hot and ready in about 20 mins. It wasn't quite ready when I got there, but the staff was very kind and offered me a seat and a glass of fragrant tea whilst I waited.

We chose standards for this first visit as we weren't sure what to expect. Thai fish cakes, spring rolls and satay made up our starters and pad thai with chicken and pad keemao were our tasty mains. 

I see quite a few items I'm keen to try next time, including some from the street food section I'm unfamiliar with. I am kind of sad they don't have glass noodle salad on the menu but there is still plenty to choose from.

We'll definitely be back, and would recommend it as a a tasty night out. No need to travel to Addie's Thai in Earls' Court anymore.
