Reviews for Aroma Thai Restaurant in Imperial Beach, CA
I have been eating a raw food diet with no salt or sugar at all, so I'm likely overly sensitive, but the food seemed too salty... and sweet. I got a beef lemongrass, cilantro raw vegetable salad and I ate all of it, happily, it was quite good. Unfortunately the Tom ka kai, a chicken, coconut, galangal (type of ginger) lemongrass soup wasn't as tangy or 'bright' as I'mused to, it's normally my favorite go to Thai dish (that and pad se eew(spelling?!) But my pal and I tried none of the noodledishes. Next time! He liked his chicken Sate(?) Flat chicken on sticks with a peanut dipping sauce and he also liked his sweetand sour chicken. My salad was around $12 to $15 and my small soup $7. All the food tasted fresh and the meat was lean andwell trimmed. Aroma sits on the street closest to the beach, but not on the beach side, so it's beachy and casual but no viewand no real attempt to make it either quaint or cozy. All in all, it was a great choice for a casual meal. I would come back. Read more
A friend brought me here for lunch. They eat here all the time. I'd go back next time I'm in the area. I had the Combination... fried rice and my friend had Drunken noodels. Both tasted great and the Thai iced tea was really good as well. Read more
First time trying Thai food and we were most definitely treated to a variety of delicious flavors. We went with 4 exquisite... dishes in an attempt to get a little taste of all the different flavors available. We decided on a Spicy Basil seafoodcombination, a Spicy Eggplant regular combination, Spicy noodles, and Green curry. I have to say that starting the spicy basilplate was a phenomenal way to be introduced to Thai cuisine. Everything was absolutely delicious! Only took two pictures becausethe smell was so good that I started eating and forgot to take pictures of the other plates! Will definitely be back!! Photosare of the green curry and spicy basil seafood combination. Read more
I just order wonton soup through Aroma Thai's website, walked to pick it up, and came home to find that all the cabbage is... rotten and there was a worm in my soup. I called to tell them my issue and to get a refund and was rudely told that my problemis with door dash not Aroma Thai. I don't have a door dash account but apparently when you order through their website, it iswith door dash. My issue was not with door dash and with Aroma Thai. I do not recommend eating here. Horrible food quality andhorrible service. Read more

Good and very considerate of the American pallet, in sensitivity to spicy. If you like spicy all for hot! (More of a Southern... Thailand flavor) The Satay Chicken was fabulous. Curry was very good and Pad Thai was okay. I'm used to more bean sprouts andmore salt/sweet flavor. Service was excellent. Environment was clean and well done. Read more
Aroma Thai has some of the best curry I have ever had! Top notch. It?s creamy and full of flavor and can get as spicy as you can... handle, I haven?t had one that I don?t love. The rice is fluffy and not tough or overcooked and perfect combo with the curry. Igot crispy rolls and fresh rolls as well and they are both wonderful. The reason for 4 stars is that I have had a few otherthings there that weren?t up to par with some other places I?ve been to, but to each their own. Read more
Smells amazing but as a delivery driver they always hit ready and call for me before the food is done. While waiting, they tell... walk-in guests that it'll be a long wait. :( Read more
