The food was so good! We were surprised by how good the food was and by how much fun we had at the restaurant.
We heard great things about Araya’s Place, but it is underrated in our opinion.
The staff were very helpful, the atmosphere cozy, the prices were fair and the food very authentic.
The only comment I have is about the food not being spicy at all or enough, after we requested the spicy versions. We didn’t feel the spice at all.
We will totally visit again as there are more dishes we want to try.

This place is amazing!!! I was surprised to find this gem nestled in a quaint neighborhood. Oh my gosh, the service was fast and the food was fantastic!!! Fresh, nourishing and flavor packed! Can’t ask for more.

We came back to Seattle and made a b-line to Arayas. I was curious if I had just been romanticizing my memory of how delicious this place was. NOPE! It’s extraordinary!!!! This time, I ordered the lunch special and am just amazed at how absolutely delicious each bite is even after I’m full. It’s a ton of food and I can’t even choose a favorite because each recipe seems to be the BEST! Great job!!!

I haven’t been here in so long, but I used to be obsessed, and it was one of my first introductions to vegan food. I came by for a quick lunch catchup with friends and the food was still quite satisfying. We got the lunch deal which was a huge amount of food and variety (dessert included!) so we got tasty leftovers. Staff was very sweet too. The lunch entree options change daily but you can make some choices with customization (curry vs noodles etc), and the spring rolls were super hot and crispy. Glad I came back after all this time 🙂

My fave vegetarian/vegan Thai place! My omnivore family absolutely loves it here too. I go here regularly and my usuals are the lunch set (the best lunch deal in the city IMO because of the quality and amount of food – see pictures for the lunch set menu choices and pics), we also love the veggie tempura, phad see ew, red curry, and phad Thai. Staff is very friendly and they have lots of seating.

This restaurant is beautifully decorated. The vegetarian dishes were flavorful. The veggies were fresh and crunchy. We both enjoyed our meals. Very pleased with the service and the tasty entrees.

Araya’s was very busy when we visited since it was on the uw graduation day. Some of the items tasted much similar to each other. We ordered 3 rice items and i wouldn’t say that they were very different.
I also ordered the mango juice from the menu and it didn’t feel like fresh juice, but more like the mango nectar i usually buy from costco. Dont get me wrong, the food was tasty in general, but to me it could be better.

Good food, nice people. We got the lunch special, which came with a ton of food for about $18. Free parking for 2 hours

Friends and I (party of 4) shared the following:
Tofu Cream Cheese
Veggie Tempura
Tom Kah
Phad Thai
Phad See Iew
Thai Iced Tea
Personally I am not vegan; however, every time I eat at Araya’s, I am reminded how flavors are really in the spices and sauces. The tofu cream cheese tasted like dairy cream cheese, I couldn’t tell that it was vegan. The veggie tempura had a nice crisp to each bite. The Thai iced tea was rich in flavor with coconut milk. The Tom Kah even without white rice, which is usually how I eat it, was filling. This is my favorite vegan restaurant.

Delicious food, arrived quickly (we had an improv reservation) and great service. We tried the spring rolls, spicy noodles, basil fried rice, and Thai ice tea. 10/10.

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.
