“Arroy, meaning 'delicious' in Thai, represents a beautiful fusion of Filipino and Thai cuisines in downtown St. Cloud. Co-owners Adrienne Donnel and Annie Meyer transformed the former Sawatdee restaurant into a celebration of Donnel's Filipino heritage, featuring traditional family recipes passed down from her mother, including unaltered chicken adobo and pancit dishes. As the only Thai and Filipino restaurant in Central Minnesota, Arroy serves hand-crafted, made-to-order meals with options for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets. Beyond exceptional food, the restaurant has become a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community and people of color, hosting drag brunches and artist showcases. The restaurant features one of the largest sake selections in town alongside craft cocktails and mocktails, and offers a special Saturday brunch menu from 10:30am to 1pm.”

“M.Y. Chockdee Oriental Market & Restaurant combines Filipino and Thai cuisine with grocery offerings in Universal City, Texas, near multiple San Antonio military installations. The name "Chockdee" (meaning "good luck" in Thai) indicates this establishment's multicultural approach, serving both Filipino and Thai communities in the area. This combination format provides prepared Asian foods alongside imported groceries, making it a one-stop destination for Asian cooking needs and ready-made meals. Universal City's proximity to Randolph Air Force Base creates strong demand for diverse Asian cuisine, and M.Y. Chockdee serves military families alongside the broader community. The dual cuisine approach reflects the interconnected Asian communities that often support each other in areas without large populations of a single ethnicity.”
