More incredible vegan Thaifood in Seattle

Some of the best Thai we've had in a long time. We found this lovely little gem in the Bellevue part of Seattle. Not far from where we were staying. Lovely little corner location. We ordered way too much food, but was able to bring some back home with us. The pot stickers were tasty and the Som Tum salad was great. We asked for about a 3 on the spicy levels and for me that was perfect. I don't really like to over due the heat but a three had a nice tingle. Super jealous of the great vegan options available here in Seattle. Cherish them.

Quaint Corner Restaurant with Dog Friendly Patio

Arrived at 4:30 while the waitstaff were preparing for their shift. Large portions with an extensive menu of Appetizers, Noodles, Rice, Soup, and Curries. Meals can be made spicy upon request. Waitstaff was open to feedback for the kitchen.

Updated from previous review on 2022-04-08

Pros: Large Portions, Dog Friendly Patio, Extensive Vegan Menu

Cons: Mango Salad was a bit Raw, Had to remove water from another table, Adding Avacado adds $5

OK, to americanized for me

Food was ok but it is a really stretch to call this Thai food still. Pad thai was more like rice noodles on ketchup. So many great Thai places around with vegan but if you are in the area or someone insists on it just set your expectations right and it is fine.

Pros: Lunch combo for a little bit of everything

Cons: Not authentic, Too Sweet

Very good food and friendly service

I came in here on a cold rainy afternoon for some hot soup and spicy pad Thai. They did not disappoint. It’s a bright restaurant on street corner in downtown Bellevue, with comfortable seating and a cozy atmosphere.

I got a big bowl of tom kah soup, that was very flavorful and filling. I got the pad Thai with seitan and level 5 spice. The waitress kind of scared me, saying that 5 is “crazy spicy,” so I got the soup as a 5 in order to test it. I didn’t think it was that spicy, so I went 5 on the pad Thai. Honestly, I’d give it a 3. YMMV.

Amazing food!

I got takeout crispy spring rolls, peanut sauce dish, mango salad, and coconut “icecream”. It was all perfect and fresh! I think you could bring people here who aren’t fans of asian food as well, since there are plenty of dishes that don’t lean too sour or dark with sauces. Seems like the best place for vegans in Bellevue!

Huge portions

The portions are huge but the costs reflect that. I would like smaller portions for the lunch menu. Overall, the food was delicious.

Expensive for quality

This place is alright. I’ve been a couple times and haven’t been blown away but it’s nice that it’s all vegan.

Pros: All vegan

Get the lunch special!

The lunch special is only $15 and comes with the most food I’ve ever seen! It comes with a full serving of pad Thai, 2 springs rolls, white or brown rice, a pint of curry (if you get the curry option) a pretty big side salad and also purple rice pudding. Definitely worth the money and I was surprised that all that was so cheap 😳 and it was all delicious of course! I’d definitely recommend getting it if it’s an option since most of their regular entrees are the same price for much less food.

Pros: All vegan, Good deals, Delicious

Oh my goodness!

My husband and I have only been vegan for about five months and we have been traveling the US and not finding much in restaurant offerings. We found this place on Happy Cow and had the best lunch and a really unique experience. The pad Thai was amazing as was the tofu satay. Will be back when we are in the area again.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great service

All-vegan Thai

I really enjoyed the vegetable cakes, and it’s really fun to get Thai food and not worry about fish sauce! It’s not my favorite Thai food ever.

great gf options

Plenty of gluten free options clearly marked on menu, their mango salad is so good. We went early to get a table and it was roomy as we were dining on a weekday night, tables filled up quickly as we were leaving.

Fabulous food made with love

Araya’s was a place that my partner has visited on his last trip to Seattle, so when we came this time, he insisted we go. I am happy to confirm that this place was a must. We had the Drunken Mushroom and Kaeng Ka-Ri with brown rice. Both were delicious. The serving size is large and great for sharing. We were happily full for the 2 of us. The restaurant also has green plants arranged and hung all over the restaurant. We will probably go back again before we leave. The only thing I would recommend is to call ahead for reservations during regular peak restaurant times.

Pros: High quality food , Large portions

Very good!

Tried Araya’s for the first time last night and loved it! I will say I thought I would be ok with the 3-star spice level and it was a little above my comfort zone haha so I’ll probably do 2-star next time but the flavor was so good.
We had the Avocado fresh rolls for an appetizer which aren’t on the menu because they are special to the Bellevue location and I would HIGHLY recommend - so good and the sauce for them was amazing! (Sauce contains peanuts)
My partner had the Tofu Thai Fried Rice and I had the Tofu Tod Gatiam for our main dishes. I will absolutely order again!
Great service. A little pricy but I get it, they’re on Main Street in Bellevue after all.

In Bellevue and want a vegan restaurant to go to? This is the place

Got the lunch combo during the weekend once. Super filling. Almost a bit too filling.
If you don't have much of an appetite, I would not recommend the lunch combo. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.
But in all seriousness, this restaurant alone might just keep me coming downtown.

Pros: Good food, Good value

Cons: You better get there early else there's a line!

Delicious vegan Thai food

I was a bit in despair with the plane food enroute to Bellevue. Fortunately Araya's place stepped up and knocked it out of the park. The menu is enormous and portion sizes very large. If you're with others I'd recommend sharing a single portion as otherwise you'll leave a lot behind.

Happy Easter!
