"This Thai restaurant (with a second location in the University District) has a terrific fully vegan menu. Bright green plants hang from every available ceiling space and a bustling kitchen churns out dishes with flavorful seitan, tofu, and jackfruit tweaks. The creamy avocado curry is comforting and the vegetable satay is deeply marinated in yellow curry with a tangy peanut sauce for dunking. And for all the mushroom lovers, the drunken mushroom dish has four different kinds of fungi swimming in a sticky basil sauce that we can't stop thinking about. (We are said mushroom lovers.)" - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"Located right off Bellevue’s main drag, Araya’s Place Eastside location is one of the few all-vegan Thai restaurants you’ll find around town. Dishes such as drunken mushroom noodles and tom kah with tofu are so fantastic that even committed carnivores should give it a chance, all for a $10 to $15 price tag. There’s also a lunch buffet that runs daily." - Gabe Guarente

The place has a lovely ambience and great service. The portion sizes are generous, and the food definitely justifies the prices. We had the Hot and Sour Soup, Tum Yum Fried Rice, Drunken Mushroom Noodles, and Panang Curry—all flavorful and well-prepared. If you’re not used to spicy food, I recommend spice levels 1-3; for spice lovers, level 4 is a good kick, but level 5 is seriously hot, even for regular spice eaters. While the ambience is nice, it may not be ideal for a first date, though that could just be personal preference. Their drink menu is also unique and worth trying. Overall, this place has definitely earned a spot on my list of top Thai restaurants!

This place is amazing! It’s located in old downtown Bellevue. I loved the atmosphere of the place. The food was delicious. We ordered the vegetable tempura and the lunch special (which I heard replaced the buffet they used to have). It was so filling and I took leftovers home because they serve such a generous amount of food. You have the choice of the day’s curry (which was yellow that day) or vegetable stir fry. Also option of white or brown rice. We parked across the street but you can get your parking validated. The food came out quickly and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed the dining experience at Araya's! It's wonderful to have a restaurant dedicated to plant based foods! We sampled a variety of dishes (see pics) and they were all wonderful! The only suggestion I have is for them to use more diverse vegetables, as broccoli was in most of our dishes. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. It was also fun to look out on Main Street.

One of the best vegan Thai places. Tofu satay was great. Nice flavorful. Brussel sprouts were bad. Felt burnt and and bitter - nothing like the sweet spicy Thai flavors. Pad see maw (rice noodles) were great. Nice flavorful with plenty of veges. Panang curry was good. Would have liked fried tofu as the regular one was too brittle. Tom Yum soup was average. As good is their food, their service is bland! Probably because they are always super busy. Not very friendly and take time to respond to requests. Ambiance is casual family dining.

Stopped in for the fresh rolls and we were not disappointed. The rice wrapper was absolutely stuffed full of veggies. Drunken Mushroom was hearty and delicious. I substituted the vegan chicken with fresh tofu. I could not stop eating the phad see leu with extra broccoli. I will definitely return to try the other dishes.

The food here is phenomenal! The Massaman Banana Curry was one of my favorites, would recommend for banana lovers, it had a sweetness to it from the bananas and at times made me think it could be a turned into a dessert. The Tofu Satay was another good one that I’d order again - nice soft tofu on skewers covered in an absolutely amazing sauce, with delicious peanut sauce for dipping on the side. The other two dishes we had were Phad Thai and Tom Kah — both also tasted great, but classics rather than something a bit more unique. The only tricky part was finding parking — but it turns out there is a parking lot behind it in a sort of “alley way” that you can get parking validation for.

The veggie satay and Araya's portobello dishes were reallly tasty!! Their coconut juice & mango spritzer were also good! The Araya's special noodles was just okay. The day we went in there was some staff shortage unfortunately so we had to wait longer to get seated but the food was there super quick once we got seated and ordered. Good to come across a good vegan restaurant in bellevue. We need to support restaurants like this!
