Thai restaurant and family-owned kitchen at 7523 Fay Ave Suite A in La Jolla's Village, 92037 — back-to-back Best Thai La Jolla winner in 2019 and 2020. AROI's Khao Soi — northern Thai curry noodle soup with crispy noodles and pickled mustard greens — is the standout, and guests who love the dish discover the same Khao Soi specialty at the family's second location, Aroi Thai on Prospect, steps from the Cove. The full menu holds up across papaya salads, larb, pad see ew, and house curries. Spice levels are real and adjustable. A compact, consistently excellent neighborhood Thai spot on Fay Ave — while diners craving heat from a completely different tradition find it at Mandarin House and its Szechuan menu on La Jolla Boulevard.
