Arroy-d Thai3106 Cambie Street, Vancouver
Arroy-d subpar
Submitted Tuesday, December 9, 2008 - 5:45am [Dine in]

Went on a weekday evening around 7pm. Parking was no problem as we found plenty of free street parking right outside.

Ambiance:
Huge resto with a more traditional Thai feel to it especially in the raised area in middle of the resto. However u need to have enough people in your group and spend enough to sit there. It's not hole in the wall nor does it have that ubiquitous pan-asian modern decor. It's certainly comfortable. The dishes were very nice looking.

Service:
Terrible. Substandard for Vancouver. We were the only couple eating there that night. Our server was a male wearing his casual street clothes. He was the only person serving the floor. We had to ask for him to bring us water after a while as we realized we were not going to be served any fluids at all. We ordered a combination appetizer, Tom Ka Gai soup, a pan friend lingcod and a bowl of rice, and 1 thai iced tea. We were not too hungry so we felt that was enough. We were also expecting to order desert later. This is when things started to get bad. The server mentioned to us more than once that we didn't order enough despite us replying that we were not very hungry and will decide later if we want more. He looked very disappointed that we didn't order more right at the start. He then brought us 2 thai iced teas but we didn't bother sending it back as i didn't mind it. Then mid meal he decides to start turning off the lights at the other end of the resturant, turned off the background music, put on his jacket and started to wrap things up. We got the hint and cut our conversation short. Before i even finished eating, he puts the bill on the table and starts cleaning up our table. Didn't bother asking us if we wanted desert or how the food was. Basically he wanted to close shop and that he did quickly cuz he left about the same time i warmed up the car to drive away.

Food:
Appy: meat skewers were ok. same as any other place. Fried chicken was very bland. Spring roll was tough to chew. Tom Ka Gai: 2 dimesional...coconut milk and chilli very distinctively....not multidimensional and full of flavor at all. Ling cod: very good, the saving grace. Thai iced tea: a tad too sweet for me but perfect for my gf.

Value:
indeed portions were tiny for the price. There are plenty of decent thai places in metro vancouver that give u better value.

Overall would not recommend if you expect decent service. But if you don't care about service at all, want a quick meal and you eat tiny portions, then give it a try.
