We were here for about a week now and are craving for Asian food. Came across Ari Thai and must say there’s no regret. All the dishes we ordered are authentic thai and cooked on point. Awesome flavours and enjoyable experience.

Another day, another lunch! What a great spot we found ourselves in upstairs at the Robina Shopping Centre. There are a few places to eat all in a small area and it has a nice vibe.
We chose Ari Thai. It has a nice open layout, is clean and the people who welcomed us and served us were a delight. They were very friendly and helpful and a joy to be around. So nice to have that energy when you go out to a place.
There is plenty on the menu and I commend them for the way the menu is laid out and explained. As we were after vegetarian food, the Wok section, or stir fry, seemed to be our best option. We ordered vegetables in Oyster sauce and vegetables with garlic and pepper sauce with a bowl of steamed rice to accompany.
I would never want to be unpleasant to the hard working, happy staff at Ari Thai so my comments are my opinion. There were plenty of people in the restaurant when we were there all seemingly enjoying the food, as we did too. But as a Thai stir fry, there was no caramelisation of the vegetables, no hint of chilli or lemongrass or anything resembling flavour. It was if it was braised. The food was bland. The garlic and pepper sauce seemed to have one limp clove of garlic in it and the oyster sauce was barely recognisable as oyster sauce. But as I said, it was nice enough and everyone else seemed happy but overall, we were not happy with the food that we chose.
I have often thought, it is almost as if restaurants should offer two versions of Thai food; Aussie style Thai and Thai Thai! We have noticed before Aussie Thai is nothing like real Thai or even much of an approximation.
But healthy enough and the service and smiles were such a bonus.

Dine in Ari Thai Kitchen & Bar
If you want to savour some exotic food visit this place you will not regret it. Staff are accommodating. And oh one of their crew is our kabayan si ate(Sorry ate we didn’t get your name🙏)
They can be busy so if you wanna sit on the boat rather make bookings.
Yummylicious 🤤🤤🤤

5 stars! Ari Thai Kitchen at Robina Town Centre is a hidden gem for Thai food enthusiasts. The chef's expertise shines through in every dish, especially the flavorful curries and aromatic tom yum soup.
Their Pad Thai with tofu is a must-try, and the basil-infused dishes are simply divine. Don't miss out on their crispy spring rolls for a delightful appetizer. If you’re in for Soup, both Tom Yum Noodle Soup & Laksha Soup are amazing, depending your spiciness level.
Highly recommend this spot for an authentic Thai dining experience!

Change of new owners… not as good as before. We used to come to this restaurant from time to time and recently they have changed the menu and everything. The pineapple seafood fried rice was quite bland, portion size was small (compare with what it used to be). The wagyu beef taste good. Overall bill was more pricy than we expect it to be.
