Ari’s Thai Eatery

We were in Azusa last night and, drawn in by the glowing reviews, decided to give this place a try. It didn't take long to understand exactly why it's so highly praised. From the very first bite, the food burst with vibrant freshness and layers of deep, authentic flavor. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully balanced — a true feast for the senses. Without question, it's some of the best Thai cuisine we've ever had. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting to relax and savor the meal. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring, making us feel welcomed from start to finish. An absolutely amazing experience — we'll definitely be back!

So glad to have this place near the San Dimas area. The place is quite modern decorated with plenty of tables and bar seating. Saw this place featured on one of the local TV shows so we went and check it out. The menu has wide varieties of dishes to pick from. We ordered the red curry duck and the soft shell crab papaya salad in medium spiciness. The red curry is very tasty and bold. The duck breast meat is tender and went pretty well when dipped in the red curry sauce and it was not too spicy. The soft shell crab with papaya salad was a little bland compares to others. The medium spiciness is nothing at all. We had to add more of the cut chopped green chillies and fish sauce to give it a little ump! The fried soft shell crab was very fresh. Good size and with the right crunch.

I have been here several times with friends and family and each time it’s really tasty and consistent! I Pretty much have tried all kinds of different dishes off of their menu and every item has come out great. This time around we got the Crying Tiger (steak dish w/ papaya salad), the cashew nut with chicken, the eggplant basil with shrimp, green curry with chicken, and mango sticky rice. Not sure if the mango sticky rice usually comes in a heart, but I was really excited to see this come out! Seriously so delicious I love this place!

Great new Thai restaurant with great menu selections. Got tired of the typical items so happy to see unique items like crab, fried pork, brisket, whole steaks for crying tiger, etc. food was good to very good. Calamari was amazing. Pad see ew was good, but very similar flavors to others. Crying tiger was good, but could have been better. Was a little undercooked for med rare and papaya salad wasn’t spicy at all, even though I asked for spicy. Need my crying tiger to have fire! Will order with more spice next time, but hope they don’t over compensate :). Their chili selection does make up for a lot though. Loved the red chili and jalapenos. Thai chili was pretty good too, Will be back to try the brisket and crispy pork for sure!

Happen to be in the West Covina area, happened to stumble upon this place because we wanted Thai food. The restaurant is beautiful too. The decor is lovely and very aesthetically pleasing. Restaurant and Bathrooms were clean! So glad we stopped in! Food - everything was great. Cooked well. Presented well. Good portions. Flavors on point. So happy they had the vinegar chili condiment for the pad see ew. Their Thai chili powder is really good too, glad they don’t just use red chili flakes like a lot of other Thai places do these days. Loved the yellow pumpkin curry, the pumpkin in it was a lovely touch, added a nice hint of sweetness from the pumpkin but still gave you the potato starch vibes. Pad Thai shrimp actually had several pieces of shrimp! Basil stir fry was really good. The rice wa
