I've tried Araya's Place in Bellevue location a few years back and decided to come back since one of our friends is vegetarian. Note that, it's my first time checking out this location in University District.Food: We tried the tofu larb, Tom Kha, and Araya's portobello. The tofu larb impressed with its flavorful tofu mix and spicy chili sauce. However, the Tom Kha lacked the creamy coconut milk broth, tasting more sour than expected. Araya's portobello was a delicious highlight of the meal for us!Ambiance: The restaurant boasts a clean and inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating.Customer Service: We were seated promptly on a Sunday evening and appreciated the server's assistance in answering our menu questions. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with room for improvement in certain dishes.

Absolutely recommend this place to everyone vegan or otherwise. We got the lunch special, pumpkin curry, Thai tea and mango juice. Everything was excellent and some of the best food I've ever had. Can't wait to be back here to try everything else on the menu!

Time for an update, given that last review was 8 years ago and was based on their sadly-discontinued lunch buffet. We've returned a few times for dinner and have been very impressed with the choice, portions, and quality.On this occasion, we ordered:-Lover's Curry ($19). This is like a deluxe panang curry with vegan chicken, avocado, pumpkin, bell peppers, soft tofu, fried tofu, and potato. Really nicely spiced curry, though the 5/5 spiciness we asked for seemed more like a 2 or 3. Still, great flavours, and very hearty and satisyfing. 5/5-Kai Phad Khing ($18). A nice stir-fry with vegan chicken, baby corn, black fungus, carrot, and celery, smothered in a rich garlicky brown sauce. Simple but very nicely done. 5/5-Rad Na ($17). I love Rad Na, so I order it whenever I can. This one was dialed just right, with a subtle but delectable brown gravy immersing the very thick wide rice noodles, along with tons of veggies (broccoli, gai lan, carrot, mushrooms), and fried tofu. Very tasty. 5/5-Phad Phrik King ($17). Extremely rich stir fry with red curry paste (no coconut milk), fried tofu cubes, green beans, carrot, red and green peppers, and a few pieces of steamed broccoli. I felt this dish was a bit over the top and unbalanced, but still tasty. 4/5Service was also wonderfully friendly, quick, and hospitable.Still a fantastic spot for all-vegan Thai.

Noodles and apps were delicious but the vegetables in the dish were unseasoned, the servers were great and I understand how important a vegan place like this is for the scene but I wasn't impressed with the bland veggies in the dish especially because the noodles were so good! I don't know how that works!

Recently had a chance to enjoy Araya's Place while in Seattle and it was some of the best Thai food I've had in a while.Whereas "Kati's Vegan Thai" felt more of a modern, fusion take on Thai, Araya brings it back closer to home and helps answer people's curiosity of "how can you make Thai food vegan?"Turns out it's very easy!My friends and I had a blast trying out many of their dishes from their Fresh Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Lemongrass Stir-Fry, and two different Curries (one pumpkin based and one with avocado). Everything we tried was rich in flavor and was perfect for a family style meal. Dishes came out quickly so we were never hungry for long.The portion sizes here are quite generous! In a quickly inflated economy, I appreciate restaurants that feel like you're really getting your hard earned moneys worth on delicious food.Only thing I wish they'd do is include rice with their curries instead of having it be a separate side order, but it's not a huge deal. Would absolutely come back to Araya again in the future.

Ordered several dishes for take out - the tom kah was extremely flavorful and light, loved the massaman banana curry. I had higher expectations for the drunken mushroom, but still good flavor and the noodles had nice texture.Food was ready in 10-15 mins after calling in, and was packaged in a very sturdy manner. I think next time will probably opt to dine-in though, as this type of food is best eaten fresh and hot.

I'm not a vegan and I'm allergic to tofu - that makes it somewhat hard for someone like me to enjoy a place like this. BUT this is my favorite Thai spot of all time. I'm not sure what to recommend because everything is so flavorful. Definitely the best Tom Kha I've ever had. My go-to is the tempura vegetables; they add something sweet to the batter. Unfortunately, the food is no good overnight. It somewhat makes you appreciate dining in more.The downside is it's very hard to get service, I feel. Every time we go it takes over 10 mins to flag down someone to take our order. But afterwards, it is easy to get service and the staff is friendly.

Such a great place for thai food! I order the lunch special and it came with spring rolls, pad thai, curry, a side salad, and black rice pudding. Everything was very flavorful and the portion sizes here are very generous. The waitress was also very sweet and service was super quick! Will definitely be coming back here in the future.

I'll start with the good: the mango sticky rice was one of the best I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. The magi actually initially looked kinda dry to me, but after taking one bite, it turned out to be deceptively sweet and juicy, and it was perfect. The Thai fried rice was also a standout in terms of taste. I do think the pad see ew and the sauce the fresh rolls came with were far too sweet -- I'd say the pad see ew sauce was almost sweeter than the dessert mango sticky rice. The fresh roll peanut sauce was also not quite what I expected, in that it was more like a sweet sauce with ground peanuts in it, rather than a peanut sauce (not necessarily bad, but not my personal preference). The food was also very pricey.
