What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Aunt Aoy Kitchen is celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Thai dishes, with the crispy omelette and soft-shell crab being standout favorites. Diners appreciate the homey ambiance and friendly service. However, some reviews mention inconsistent execution, with occasional issues of dishes being too oily or overly salty, and one reviewer experienced unfriendly service due to unexpected closures.
"Very homey place. Drinks are self service. Food is quite fast, but maybe cuz we went nearly their closing time so not many tables left.
The food we ordered were tasty. Stir fried soft-shell crab was exceptionally delicious. Really recommend.
Apparently the place is famous among Korean tourists also."

"I did reach around 6PM.
Actually not that comfortable to walk to reach here.
However, it is worth to come.
Food is actually a bit salty with seafood yellow curry but perfect with white rice.
Pork belly fried.. crispy for real!
Last dish such as a mini toast fried with minced pork?! Unexpected taste but still good.
Above all, quite enough volume to fulfill your stomach.
Michelin is waiting for you hahaha ~~~"

"Although it's a Michelin-starred restaurant, the taste didn't really amaze me. The dishes are just more innovative. The soft-shell crab is the signature dish, very crispy, but it lacks the fresh flavor. The breaded pork?(don’t remember the name)is okay, but a little bit oily"
