Amazing vegan Thai food and I highly recommend!! The place has a great vibe, with chill music, decorations, and art. We went for lunch and I think this may turn more lively with a bar at night. The food itself was amazing. Everything was great. We got the lunch set which was gigantic proportion of red curry, noodles, salad with tofu, 2 spring rolls, red bean dessert, and rice. We also got the cashew curry, which also tastes great. The spicy paste and chili flakes in oil definitely added the right kick and flavor. The Thai iced tea was great too. The lunch set combo is def well worth the price and I can't to go back again. The service was fast, and checking in on us, and being responsive.

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.

I came to Araya’s a couple of times already. From my recent visit, I just had a light meal. I ordered pad Thai, Thai iced tea and thai lime iced tea. Unlike my previous visits, usually my husband and I had a couple of dishes. Among many dishes, my favourite are brussel sprouts and pineapple curry. Very good atmosphere, friendly staff and clean washroom. It’s kind a hard to get parking if you come at the very peak hour because Araya’s surrounded by many restaurants too. If you haven’t tried Thai food, or you want a vegan options, Araya’s is the one you’re looking for. YouTube (Araya’s Place)👇🏼 https://youtu.be/mXdfCT1CTDU?si=q-mAaCuvE5qKJ48O

Delicious food in a casual but nice setting. I got the Thai Tea with Ice Cream, Pad See Ew noodles, and How Mok curry. All were good. I recommend mixing the drink to form a milkshake ;)

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. :)

One of the best meals of my life so far! The service was quick, and the food was hot and full of flavor. This place fed my heart and soul.

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. The salad is good. The sauce complements the tofu and greens nicely. The spring rolls were solid too. Pad Thai was slightly sweeter, but overall good. The curry had muted flavors compared to other Thai restaurants and wasn't spicy at all. In addition the vegetables were cut large making it inefficient to eat. The tofu was very soft and the curry tasted okay with rice. The rice pudding was a new dessert for me and I wasn't a big fan of it. The lunch special has a very generous portion size! I'd come back again to try their drunken noodles and stir fry.

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.
