The fried tofu at Araya’s Place was crunchy and soaked up every sauce.

We were not expecting to be served such delicious jain food in Seattle. Enjoyed the spicy basil fried rice and a couple of other dishes.

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.

So yummy and it is in such a cute location too! I love that the menu is all vegan and they have a large selection. The flavors are very good and they do have some lovely spice to them. We would come back for sure!

They have amazing vegan thai dishes, and the portions are large. I moved to AZ, and every time I come back home to Seattle, I have to visit and get my fix. I usually get the curry and veggies. I'm excited to visit their new location, though I am sad they aren't in the old location.

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.

Amazing Panang curry and veggie tempura which comes with a delicious honey dipping sauce. I’m not even vegan but after coming here, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle.

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 atmosphere and service. Food was alright. Curry we ordered was decent and stir fry was disappointing with just raw veggies in a watery sauce. Wouldn’t go out of my way to visit here.

Friendly service but I was disappointed in the food. I don't believe it's cooked to order as everything arrived less than 5 minutes from ordering it.
