Aroy Thai has spent 30 years serving Thai food in Singapore, with roots in the Isan province of Northeast Thailand, a region known for its strong, spicy flavours and fragrant herbs. The restaurant takes pride in its heritage and the authenticity of its dishes, which are made from scratch by hand using only the freshest ingredients.
Describing itself as a warm, vibrant restaurant that brings communities together through a shared love of food, Aroy Thai has attracted customers from far and wide over the decades. The business operates from its original Central location at Velocity, and has recently opened a new branch at Changi Airport Terminal 2.
For 30 years, Aroy Thai has been serving Thai food in Singapore, with its heritage rooted in the Isan province of Northeast Thailand — a region celebrated for its strong, spicy flavours and fragrant herbs. The restaurant describes itself as a warm, vibrant space that brings communities together through a shared love of food, welcoming both long-time regulars and new customers alike.
What sets Aroy Thai apart is its focus on Northeast Thai cuisine specifically, rather than a generic Thai menu. Isan food is known across Thailand for its bold, punchy flavour profile, built on fresh herbs and spice rather than heavier, richer notes found in other regional Thai cooking styles. Aroy Thai takes pride in staying true to that heritage, positioning its dishes as authentic rather than adapted for broader appeal.
Aroy Thai emphasises that its food is made from scratch by hand, using only the freshest ingredients. Over three decades, this approach has helped the restaurant build a loyal following, with the business noting it has attracted customers "far and wide" thanks to its flavourful cooking.
Aroy Thai operates from its original Central location at Velocity, alongside a newly opened branch at Changi Airport Terminal 2 — a notable expansion that puts the restaurant's Isan cooking in front of travellers passing through one of Singapore's busiest transit points. Reservations for the Central (Velocity) outlet can be made by calling +65 6338 3880 or +65 6352 1446, while the Changi Airport T2 branch can be reached at +65 6530 3619.
Aroy Thai makes its full menu available for download directly from its website, giving prospective diners a chance to browse dishes ahead of a visit or before calling in a reservation.
Beyond the food itself, Aroy Thai frames its identity around community — describing itself as an establishment proud to bring people together through food, rather than simply a place to eat. With three decades of history in Singapore and a recent expansion to Changi Airport, Aroy Thai continues building on that reputation while staying anchored to its Isan roots.
