Not just a vegan paradise, but a Thai food lover’s paradise. A large menu, portions, and flavors, for not-large prices. Everything I've tried is excellent. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive. The following isn't a criticism, just a caution: their seitan and mushroom dishes are great, but their flavors may not be your cup of tea if you aren't used to them. Otherwise, you can't possibly go wrong.

Beautiful place with nice outdoor seating. The menu has plenty to offer and everything tasted great. I thought the 3 star wouldn't be spicy but it was perfect Thai spicy. Very few places that can deliver flavorful dishes like this one. One of my favorites when I visit here.

This is a nice little place. I thought the food was good and they have so many vegetarian options. I would recommend trying it at least once. The service was good and the prices are mostly reasonable. I didn’t have to wait to get in but I also went on a weekday. Parking can be tricky.

We were longtime customers until this week, when we were served the worst Veggie Tempura I've ever tasted. Soggy and oily vegetables (too low cooking temperature?) missing any crust (shortage of batter?). Tried to discretely register a complaint via e-mail but was met with silence, hence this public venting.

Amazing service and cute atmosphere. The food was great and accommodating of different spice levels. We had a good variety of things to choose from, too. The spicy noodles were not my fav, but the tomyum fried rice was a hit with the whole table.Highly recommend Aaryas place, you won't miss the meat.

Typically order take out, which is always 10/10. I opt for Araya’s for Thai take out because it’s consistently delicious. This time decided to dine in because I hadn’t done so in a while and I was sadly super disappointed with the service (and from reading other reviews I’m not the only customer with this kind of service in recent weeks). We arrive at 6:30pm on a Saturday night, and surprisingly not busy at all. Took around five minutes to get seated and it was a little awkward because the host didn’t really talk just mumbled some and motioned us to our seats. After being seated it took around 20min for our order to be taken even though it still wasn’t busy, we were one of three parties in the restaurant. It was so strange because it seemed the servers just kind of ignored us or didn’t know what to do? They looked young, and gave them the benefit of the doubt, but I mean… c’mon! Lol. We weren’t rude, just waited things out. We were hungry and just wanted the good food. Lol. Just a strange experience that shouldn’t have taken as long as it did. Food came out quickly and was delicious, though the curry was a little watery (but I ordered extra coconut milk, perhaps that’s why). Maybe some better training for their (seemingly) young servers? Gonna opt for takeout again next time ?
