Araya’s place is a very good place to eat. Before becoming vegan I really enjoyed Thai food. Today was my first time having it since going 100% plant based. This place is 100% vegan, and it was great! I’m grateful that it exists and I will return on my next trip to Seattle. I enjoyed a curried noodle dish (can’t remember the name – sorry – but I’ve attached a pic). Again, I will attend again.

The lunch special is the true gem of Araya’s Place. This vegan restaurant prides itself in healthy Thai vegan offerings that can convince a ravenous carnivore to forego their meat-based diet for one that is just as tasty. I had their panang curry with pad thai, which is both delicate and delicious. The coconut milk mixed with the spice of the curry is incredible. The pad thai has a zing that perfectly balances with the peanuts atop it. Finally, I love their red bean pudding. I can’t wait to return. Oh, they also have a full-service bar if you’re into cocktails. 🙂

TLDR: Good food but nothing too special, friendly service, bit pricey.

The food is exquisite, we have come multiple times and each time the food is delicious. The truth is that every time we come here we don’t have any complaints (well, this time the beer was warm but they changed it for a Mango mojito which was very, very good.) After coming here many times, everything has been amazing, the customer service is very good, they are very attentive and friendly. honestly, all the food is just great, I love the soups.

They have discontinued the lunch buffet. They do have a lunch special which I ordered. They don’t allow dine-in after 2pm even though they close at 3pm, something to keep in mind.

Ate here with a friend I had not seemed in over six months. Back then, he was recovering from a tough time but had optimistic vision of a rosy future in store for him. Well, looks like he was right. He’s doing very well, and he’s very happy. I am happy for him. I am. But there is something that made me feel distant or adrift or uneasy while we talked. He’s overcome quite something and is full of an enthusiasm I feel myself feeling less of. Oh well, that’s another thing to sort out when I wake up in the middle night (too much coffee this afternoon). I took a couple of photos of the nice pens the server gave me to sign the bill. The pens were very smooth and I’d like to find the same ones and buy them

The servers have attitude problems here – Every time I go in: all very similar odd energy. Great Space though! With nice decorations. No brown rice here – it’s white rice cooked with some purple, but it’s not brown ❌ Asian restaurants oftentimes call this brown rice but it’s not – So let’s just call it what it is & meh wine selection. Could at least make an effort on their wine selection ❌ & their “cream cheese” tofu has zero cream cheese ❌ = that’s 3 ❌❌❌ so I can’t give it more than 2 ⭐️⭐️
