How many times does an already fantastic restaurant come back TWICE as better than before? A rarity to be sure, and ARROY succeeds in EVERY area! I dined here many times when it was Sawatdee, and never thought it could be improved on as it was amazing already, but now, as ARROY, you get the delicious added benefit of yummy Fillipino food in addition to the fabulous Thai dishes that had always been a Sawatdee staple! I dined here with my Mom and cousin on Friday, March 29th 2024 for lunch as an after birthday treat!The first fabulous sight we had upon arriving at this fabulous restaurant was the large PRIDE flag hanging in the window celebrating the GLBTQI community and the marvelous fact that this beautiful welcoming place is GLBTQI owned and operated by a delightful couple who truly care about each and everyone of their guests!The environment in this cozy and vibrant, well decorated home to delicious food is that of love of each other and kindness to all! The energy of ARROY just wraps it arms around you upon your arrival!Now, onto the food! Absolutely AMAZING! 5 stars all the way! We ordered delicious Spring Rolls, Egg Rolls, Luptia and Cream Cheese Puffs to start! Served with a vibrant rich Peanut Sauce and 3 other delicious sauces we were all impressed by the quality as well as quantity!Our Entrees were as delicuous as the appetizers! The BEST Pad Thai I have ever tasted! Incredible soft noodles in a rich peanut sauce with juicy, delectable beef and chicken! Served with yummy crushed peanuts and garnished with a wonderful green top onion! Just soooo good!This was ALL topped off by the absolute BEST lemonade I have ever had ANYWHERE!Arroy makes an incredible series of delicious "Mocktails", non alcoholic sweet drinks and this one was their Lemonade Lychee!Their fantastic mixologist came up with the incredible idea of adding Lychee syrup to fresh Lemonade made with the smoothest of filtered water and topping it with a garnish of real Lychee nut/berries! Just the sweetest, most delectable combination ever! The Lemonade is not overly sweet and not too tart either! Just RIGHT!I seriously loved the Lemonade SO much that I bought 3 quarts to take home! Yes, they will sell their non alcoholic drinks to go!Finally, a restaurant can have fabulous food but without a caring staff, it will come up short.ARROY HAS the PERFECT staff! This restaurant is WOMEN empowered! An engaging staff of incredible confident, competent, engaging and caring female servers, chefs and management, owners was all the dessert this gay man needed!"Wonderwomen" owned and operated and staffed!Run, don't walk to Arroy! You will fall in love with it! I will be returning again and again! Arroy is literally a precious GEM to be enjoyed in St Cloud! I'm grateful for your presence and your gastronomic gifts and culinary artistry!

I'm so disappointed in MYSELF for waiting this long to try out this gem. The staff are kind and upbeat, the portions were great, and the food is amazing. I had the chicken pad tai and devoured it - like all of it much faster than I should of... The flavor was absolutely perfect... not too salty at all (I'm usually one to first notice these things) and not too sweet either - just right.I also had the lumpia appetizer and was surprised by how much I liked them! They had the perfect crisped crunch to them, and I think I prefer these over traditional egg rolls now... oh! and the sweet and sauce! I am definitely unsure if I could ever eat one without that either... and I am not really a big dipping sauce person but clearly I was really feeling it.I know I keep raving about this place in my review, but I really don't think I have ever had Thai this good before. Also, the atmosphere and decor make it a perfect vibe. But all in all, this place is a must to try. Check it out with a friend. Enjoy downtown. But seriously... as I type this my mouth is watering. I loved it and definitely plan on coming back - especially to try out their cocktails.

The food used to taste so good but now it’s bland and dry. Sometimes they allow to do a take out order sometimes they don’t. The service is inconsistent and the food is just okay now. This used to be my go to spot now not so much.

Before I write the review, I should inform that I only had their sisig and Thai coffee and that was about it. For the sisig, I found it a bit too salty for my taste and the flavor lacked depth. I asked for a 4/5 spiciness but I didn’t find it spicy at all. Granted I do have a very high heat tolerance so your mileage may vary. I had the Thai coffee iced and it was good. Not my favorite but nothing to complain about I guess.

The food, drinks, and the service were outstanding! The server even asked if there were any food sensitivities to be aware of. We will definitely be going back.

Nice to find some options for vegan food in St Cloud. The servers were super knowledgeable about vegan/veg options. The fried tofu was absolutely fabulous- the spice blend is perfect. The yellow curry is vegan, but they are a little weak on the spice level (1-5), so you may want to go up from your usual. Great cocktails and mocktails as well! Large space too.

Great Spot in STC! I was looking for good Thai and this place did it. We’ll worth the trip downtown!
