Better of the Vegan Thais

Great green curry; good service; and the Laab was okay, if not at all as promoted (‘3 types of mushrooms’ turned out to be ‘3 field mushrooms’ and fried slivers of firm tofu).

Pros: Decent serves, Decent prices, Decent (if sweet) green curry

Cons: Misadvertising of some dish ingredients

there are many vegan Thai restaurants across LA, but arayas is next level. the avo curry, curry noodles... okay ALL the curries are amazing. I've taken many vegan and non vegan friends there and all were impressed. gooooo!

Delicious Thai food

This was definitely one of the best vegan Thai restaurants I have visited so far.
Super friendly service, very clean and very reasonable prices.
Sadly I was too hungry to take any photos but everything we had was really good.
We took the lunch special which comes with a soup and a spring roll. The spring roll was probably one of the best spring rolls I've ever had 😋 and the soup had a lot of tofu and vegetables in it.

I took the red curry which in my opinion tasted really authentic (reminding me on the curries I had in Thailand) and my husband ordered the Bangkok Cafe which had a delicious peanut sauce.

All in all really recommendable.
Unfortunately I discovered this place on my last day otherwise I would have definitely revisited.

Delicious vegan Thai food

Delicious vegan Thai food in a low key setting. I loved Araya's Place in Seattle, and the LA location is great too! Such a great menu with so many dishes to choose from!

Pros: Relaxed setting , Delicious dishes, All vegan

Much improved

Updating my review from eight years ago because I gave this place another try and it went much better! Back then, I went twice and the food was either bland or unbelievably spicy. But maybe I just got unlucky. I've ordered takeout from Araya's a few times recently and everything was great. We've tried various noodle dishes and curries, and they were all fresh and tasty. I wouldn't go there on my birthday or anything, but it's a good option to have for takeout.

Unassuming. Amazing.

Don’t be fooled by the strip mall location. It’s some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had: Drunken Noodles, Yum Tua Plu (green bean and coconut salad), Vegetable Cakes, Tom Yum soup, and a special off-menu dish with mushrooms and ginger.

Pros: Great price, Large portion size

Consistently the best Thai food!

I've long been a fan of Araya's due to their large portions and creativity. This was my first time at this location and it was perfect. The menu is extensive, everything is fantastic with interesting flavors, and it's all vegan. What more could you want? It's always refreshing to eat at Araya's since so many Thai places taste more or less the same and have similar menu items, but here you'll always have something new to try. The tofu satay and crispy spring rolls as appetizers are a great way to start the meal. Even their delivery portion sizes are just as large.

Best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. Try the home made seitan!

The green curry just makes me come back to this place and the seitan is the first time in my life that i liked seitan!

Delicious and huge portions

The menu is extensive. We ordered our normal one appetizer and two entrees. After eating our big portions, we had enough leftovers for a second meal.

Pros: Lots of unusual Thai dishes, The portions are twice the normal size, Fried cream cheese was amazing

Cons: The wait was long, The help was a little confused but sweet

My favorite Thai Place

I LOVE this place. Their spring rolls are bomb. Veggie meat with peanut sauce is so good and filling. Their lovers curry and pumpkin curry are some of my favorites in town!

Cute spot!

Very relaxing environment with a large menu. Minimal seating but was sat right away around 2pm. The pad thai was delicious and a large portion for $12. Will definitely be back!

Loved the green curry!

Veggies were so fresh and crunchy, flavour was amazing! Highly recommend the green curry! Also got the pad thai and wasn’t a huge fan, but maybe I just don’t like pad thai in general!

Pros: Amazing flavour in the green curry, Fresh veggies , Delicious

Great!!

So excited to find this restaurant! They had a huge menu with so many options and we couldn’t believe that everything was vegan! Our server was so friendly and all the food we tried was delicious. Our only complaint was the pad Thai, ordered as a 4 out of 5 spice level, was not spicy at all. Besides that, all the food was spiced perfectly and tasted amazing.

Pros: Friendly service, So many options, Great food

Cons: One dish was not spiced to order

Wonderful Thai Plant Based food in a small and friendly place.

Araya's Place is in a tight strip mall at the corner of Beverly Blvd. and Crescent Heights in West Hollywood. They have an extensive menu with too many inviting choices, What a wonderful surprise! Araya's has superlative Plant Based Thai food at prices considered reasonable by LA standards. You may order to go or eat in this small restaurant. The one waitress was very sweet, patient, and helpful.
The parking is free and convenient but limited number of spaces- but this is LA : )

Pros: Wonderfully flavorful Plant Based Options, Helpful and friendly staff., Abundant portions.

Cons: Parking convenient and free but limited spaces., Music was not loud but it was American pop.

Not great

Extremely disappointing. The food just wasn’t that great at all and I just left sad wishing for better food. Flavors just weren’t executed well in my opinion. I haven’t returned since. I’ll stick with Vegan Glory.

Cons: Poor food
