We dined at Aloy Thai Eatery for lunch over the weekend and enjoyed dishes inspired by family recipes from Thailand. Aloy Thai is a women owned, family business.

We arrived at Aloy Thai, ordered our food & took a seat in the main dining room. Aloy Thai’s interior was vibrant with orange paint & wood detailing. General Manager, Non took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed during our meal.

For Aloy Cocktails we had the Tom Yum on The Rocks and the Aloy Sling.

The Tom Yum on The Rocks was made with El Jimador, lime, triple sec, galangal, chili, kaffir, and lemongrass.

This cocktail was characterized by fresh lime and subtle agave sweetness from the El Jimador tequila. The El Jimador was complemented by the floral aroma of the triple sec.

The Aloy Sling was made with Botanist Gin, Passion fruit, lemon, ginger, triple sec and soda.

This cocktail was amazing. The passion fruit & lemon complemented the gin beautifully; all three flavors came together for a burst of juicy citrus on the palate.

For Small Plates we had the Fried Shrimp Rolls and the Fried Pork Egg Rolls.

The Fried Shrimp Rolls were made with shrimp and sweet chili sauce.

The sweet shrimp were stuffed in thin egg roll wrappers and deep fried to crispy goodness.

The Fried Pork Egg Rolls were made with pork, cabbage, carrot, bean noodle, and sweet chili sauce.

These large rolls were savory and were generously filled with juicy pork & cabbage.

For Noodles I had The Pad Thai and Ross had the Pad See Eew.

The Pad Thai was made with bean sprout, chopped tofu, red onion, green onion, cage free egg, and chopped peanut. I ordered my Pad Thai with chicken & medium spice. Aloy Thai uses fresh chili peppers which means their dishes actually pack a punch in the spice department.

The Pad Thai had all the flavor of signature Thai cuisine - a balance of sweet, salty, sour, & spicy. The texture variation of this dish was wonderful with the soft chew of the noodles, crunch of the chopped peanuts and snap of the bean sprouts & carrots. The medium spice of the chili peppers brought a lingering heat to the dish.

The Pad See Eew was made with kale, cage free egg, thick rice noodle, and sweet soy. Ross ordered his Pad See Eew with beef & ‘Thai hot’ in spice.

“This is actually hot!” Ross exclaimed after his first bite. Aloy Thai used those fresh chili peppers to make the Pad See Eew ‘Thai hot’ and Ross loved the spiciness. The sweet soy sauce base of the Pad See Eew gave the thick, chewy noodles a salty, savory flavor. That savory flavor was enhanced by the umami taste of the beef.

Big thank you to Aloy Thai, Non, and Larry Herz for hosting us!
