Aroi by Smiley Thai

Beautiful restaurant! Plenty of street parking available out front for free, and a convenient location close to downtown. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is very friendly. The chicken pad Thai was amazing, can’t wait to go back. Lots of options for gluten free friends and vegetarians.

We called ahead and confirmed they can make the menu items we were interested in gluten free. We arrived and the waitress reconfirmed that wouldn't be an issue. What they didn't mention, is they wouldn't put the sauces on any of the dishes. If you've had Drunken Noodles before you know this wouldn't go over well. What we received was a dry bowl of flavorless noodles and rice. We would have chosen an alternative restaurant had we been aware of this. The food presentation was great. Service was fine but we ended up not eating anything and went somewhere else. We did see some non GF food come out and it looked and smelled amazing.
