Reviews for Araya's Place in Seattle, WA

I found myself here with my friend after a rainy visit at the Frye museum. We walked in and we?re immediately greeted by a... friendly hostess. She quickly sat us down. A moment later we were ordering drinks and food. For the appetizer we got the potstickers with ponzu sauce. My dish, the avocado curry. Everything looked amazing. But even better was how well it tasted. Icould not have asked for a better lunch. Thank you Araya. Read more

Best Thai food ever and large portions. Araya's consistently has the best Thai food, it's much better than anywhere else I've... ever tried. Everything tastes so flavorful and perfected! I've been eating here consistently for almost 10 years and I'm sad totravel back to the San Francisco Bay because no Thai food comes close out there. I got delivery from this location and it's justas good as dining in. My favorite dish is the Araya's Portobello with some rice, fried spring rolls, and the tofu satay withpeanut sauce. The portions are really big too, even when I'm very hungry I always end up having a lot of leftovers. Read more

After a bad experience with service I tried it again and it was great. The food is always great here which is what keeps me... coming back. The lunch set provides great value although it would be good to see a $10 mini lunch set with a few less items.Maybe no dessert and pad thai. I would very much prefer that. Read more

Absolutely amazing food and friendly service. We arrived in Seattle for a long weekend and as a family of 4 vegetarians, were... looking for a place for a quick evening meal after a long travel day. This place came highly recommended on both Google Reviewsand Happy Cow so I was delighted when I saw it was a short walk from our accommodation. I can see why people love it. We gotthere about 20 minutes before closing so they were only serving takeout, but they served us with a smile and were patient as weperused the menu, didn?t rush us at all. The food was quick to be prepared, and the server even threw in a couple of extra freecold drinks. We loved the appetisers - satay tofu, fresh rolls and pot stickers - and my pineapple fried rice was so moreish. Idon?t know what they do to the tofu but it?s some of the tastiest I?ve ever had - great texture with the right amount of bite,and really holding the flavour. The food was filling and flavourful without leaving us feeling gross or heavy. We had leftoversthe next day for lunch and it tasted great reheated too! I could easily eat here again several times during our stay as themenu is so extensive with a range of flavours and textures. I?ll definitely come here again on my next visit to Seattle! Read more

Terrible service and since I don't like vegetarian anyway was not happy with my dish. The drinks were good. I will never go... back. Read more

I have gone multiple times now and this is my favorite restaurant. Great portion sizes, quick service, and the food is... absolutely delicious. I am vegan, but my family isn?t and they all love it too. The second you step inside, it smells heavenly.You?re missing out if you don?t eat here! Read more
