Aroi

Best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand. Had to wait 20 mins for table but fast, friendly service once seated.

It was my 1^st time trying AROI and I found the overall experience very nice indeed! A little to much Veg with the char grilled duck but at least the duck was CRISPY unlike other restaurants I have tried. A little more duck would have been nice as i was still a bit hungry afterwards. I will give it another try for sure as it was Tasty. Staff were very polite and swift service was appreciated

Have dined here before and food & service was detailed and enjoyable. We got take out last weekend and it was ready on arrival and it was hot very tasty and like a night out at home

We stopped in here by chance when in Limerick for a rugby game. It’s just fantastic.
First thing we noticed was that the menu was interesting, in that it didn’t just have «all the usual suspects» on it in terms of Asian dishes. There’s certainly something in here to please everyone I reckon — but some of the starters and some of the salad mains were nicely different or a little «cut above» the bog standard fare you might see in a colour-​by-​numbers Asian Fusion place.
We ordered some starters, a salad and a spicy hot main course, along with some beers. The staff were great. One of them took pains to point out to us that the salad (which was a meat-​based Vietnamese dish) was «cold». They wanted to point this out because several people had complained about the salad being «cold» and asked to change it :-)
All the food was really good — delicious prawn and duck starters, and the mains were fantastic. More so by being priced very, very low (like a tenner for a main course? What???)
The place itself is lovely — modern, clean décor. It was hopping the night we were in (after the match, duh), and had a lovely buzz to it.
The following day we bumped in to someone who said they saw us in there eating, and wanted to know «how we found out about it — as it’s only new».
Really excellent and would highly recommend.

Great food, excellent service once seated, but long wait for table… although reservation was made in advance.

These guys are absolutely crazy about their customers.
I ate some rice noodles with pork. The whole food was fresh, delicate, elegant, and somehow different.
Besides that, I’ve been asked at least 5 times of I’d need anything else. Nice atmosphere, good customer service, quality food.

Aroi, which took the place of Pecked, is a great addition to the restaurant choices in Limerick. (Would give 4.5 stars if possible or ⁹⁄₁₀). The interior décor is perfectly streamlined and modern without being too ethnic or too sparse. The tables easily accommodate groups of 1 – 4 but you would want to call ahead for a reservation for larger groups. In fact, if you plan to stop in on a Friday or Saturday night, you might be hard-​pressed to find an available table if you haven’t made a reservation.
The menu is small but you will find something for everyone. My favorite is the fried rice but my daughter loves the pad see ew (a mild noodle dish) and my son adores the chicken with plain rice. The most striking thing about the menu is the large drinks selection. They offer coffees and teas, root bears, wines, beers, and juices that are freshly squeezed.
Also, the chef is more than happy to make a dish to your specifications– don’t want mushrooms? No problem. Want chicken or tofu instead of pork, ok! The staff are overwhelmingly kind and usually remember us (as we are repeat customers). The chef loves to interact w customers so be sure to say hello when you pay at the till.
Food arrives quickly to the table, just as it would with real street food in Thailand. There is a selection of ice creams, sorbets, and gelato for after the meal that are actually quite tasty.
Tips:
— Pay and tip at the till.
— Park at Arthur’s Quai, directly across the street.
— Take away is available if you’d like to call ahead.
— Portion sizes are generous so plan to share if you like.
— Tea is not the high-​quality loose leaf I would expect from a Thai restaurant but regular bagged Irish brands.
— Noise levels are average, not the place to take someone for a private conversation.

Clean and fresh décor, friendly staff reasonable prices and city centre location.
There’s a diner feel to the décor and classic rock ballad music is the order of the day.
Asian fusion your jam? This is a great spot for something casual cheap but fun in city centre. I will remember to comeback here next time I’m in the city, if it lasts.
