Aroma Thai

City: Imperial Beach

Address: 757 Seacoast Drive, Imperial Beach, CA 91932

Food type: Thai

Price range/person: $10-15/dinner

Wait time: None

Service: Very polite, gracious, friendly. Server even opened door for us on the way out.

Ambiance: Romantic, vibrant, quaint. Adorable flowers and candles enhance table tops. Colorful pillows line seating along the walls. Lovely décor appropriate for the month of February.

Dish Focus On:

Yellow curry, with chicken and vegetables


Curry sauce nicely seasoned, with a fantastic coconut infusion. Chicken was good. Onions were slightly chewy.

Chicken Pad-thai, with bean sprouts, carrots and crushed peanuts on the side

Noodles were thinner than I've seen in other Pad-thai dishes, but they were so yummmy. Sauce was deliciously sweet and salty, bean sprouts were fresh and crunchy, and chicken was nice and tasty.

Yummmy Factor: 4.5/5

Yummmy Rambles: Sweet little restaurant along the beach. Décor is pleasant – lots of red for Valentine’s day in February. Even bathrooms have colorful and fun décor! Although place was quiet on a Friday night, food was very tasty. Restaurant found purely by chance as we were exploring a new area and waiting for our movie at the South Bay Drive-In Theaters.
