I had their sailors pad Thai and it was pretty tasty! The portion size was really great and I really appreciated the different and unique way that they made the pad Thai. It had peppers and etc. in it, and it was very light and not too oily and very filling, which I really appreciated! The inside of the restaurant was quaint, but it will be a great place to go for a dinner or a luncheon or even on a solo date for yourself. It's located within Johnson Creek Square where there are other businesses and etc., that you can go to as well. read more

On the stretch of 82nd, Arawan Thai Cuisine stands like a small sanctuary kissed by pink cherry blossoms, with the mountain watching quietly in the distance and trees swaying like they know something good is cooking inside. From the moment you walk up, it feels intentional clean outside, spotless inside, peaceful but alive. The energy is balanced, warm, welcoming. The kind of place where you sit down and your shoulders just drop. We walked in and were seated right away. Order taken. Food delivered. Quick but not rushed. This isn't fast food speed; this is Thai kitchen rhythm. Efficient, focused, graceful. The pad Thai hit the mark perfectly savory, bright, comforting without being heavy. The fresh rolls with peanut sauce were smooth and balanced, that sauce rich and silky with just enough sweetness to keep you dipping. And a cold beer alongside it all? Like a cool breeze off the water in Phuket. Service was kind, attentive, and natural. Everything felt thoughtful. Convenient location, beautiful setting, nothing out of place. I'm already looking forward to coming back for the Tom Yum. All around effort, flavor, atmosphere. Five stars. Give it a try. read more

I thought the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I would definitely go here again! Small but nice windows read more

I was soooo hungry, pics are NOT the best bc I had already started eating. The basil chow mein was the absolute best thing I tried, and I forgot to take a picture of it! The crab wontons were perfect. Just the right amount of filling, fried to perfection, and delicious sauce. The chicken satay was also fantastic. Not thick, chunky chicken, but thinly sliced pieces grilled perfectly. The pad Thai was not my favorite. It wasn't spicy at all, and the sauce was sweeter than I'm used to. It was still good, and we ate the whole plate, but if I'm ever in the area again I'll get the spicy basil chow mein again! read more

Second time here food is great the atmosphere is nice but plain service is good. Had the Pad Prig King and pad Thai

I'm thrilled that Arawan is in my neighborhood, it has absolutely become my 'default' for when I'm craving Thai (which happens pretty often for me.) Whether you're eating in or just grabbing takeout, you get nice fresh hot food, big portions, reasonable spice level and reliable flavour, and at a decent price! Service is quick and attentive and the staff are all nice and accommodating. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

I grew up coming here Sundays after church but just visited after 13 years. It feels like nostalgia being back. We enjoyed satay, spicy pad thai, regular pad Thai, and the special curry fried rice. The satay could've been bigger, the chicken was small. The spicy pad Thai was definitely spicy and tasted like a Chinese noodle. The regular pad Thai was way too sweet. The curry rice was good! I really miss when Arawan had Tod mun pla fish cakes. They were my favorite. Service was good. Inside was clean and busy. read more

Arawan Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Quick and sufficient service! I appreciate the option of #9 Can't Decide for $13 when you literally can't decide what appetizer to get so you pick any three from the appetizers menu. Can't Decide, $13: satay chicken, veggies egg rolls, and veggies spring rolls. The satay chicken comes with 3 dipping sauces: fresh diced cucumber and red onion was too sweet for me, I didn't care for the sweet chili sauce because I know it comes from a bottle, the yellow curry with diced garlic or peanut I can't recall exactly now was actually paired very well with the satay chicken and veggies spring rolls. The fried veggies egg rolls were a bit salty for my preference. Papaya Salad, $12: the dressing sauce was a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. All ingredients were fresh and crunchy with each bite. The spicy level came with it was just right I'm the middle of the scale. If you want more than average heat, ask for extra spicy. This was actually the first Thai restaurant I went for a while that didn't ask me for my spicy level. Thai Iced Coffee, small 16oz, $4.50: tasted just right with no overly sweetness. Clean and casual dinning ambience area conveniently located on a busy plaza SE of 82nd Ave and Overland Street, in the same parking area as Best Buy and Home Depot. read more

I've been eating here for 20+ years and hands down this place has thee best Thai food in all of Portland. Unfortunately, they NEVER have the correct hours of operation available on google maps. They also do not post the hours on their business and that is likely because, from my experience, they seem to make up whatever time they feel like closing. It seems to change all the time. So don't plan your eating schedule by their posted times. If you want to order take out, even though the closing time posted is 9:00pm, I've called before at 8:15pm to order take out & they told me, "sorry, the kitchen closes at 8:30pm". After hanging up and realizing I had 15 more minutes until 8:30 when they said the kitchen closed, I then called back and they changed their story and said the kitchen closes at 8:15 now. And that the restaurant closes at 8:30! They literally just say whatever they want in order to not take your order. So in my opinion, customer service is total crap. So I wonder this.......If you happen to be in there at 8 PM to eat dinner and you get done at 8:20 with your dinner and want to order dessert does that mean you're not going to be able to order dessert because their kitchen is now closed? Even though you're still sitting in there from ordering your food at 8 PM? Pretty lame.! But again, I obviously keep going back because the food is phenomenal. It's just the customer service could totally be better. I don't appreciate when people lie to me. I've actually called before to order food on a day that they had posted that they were open and they weren't open. So again, don't plan on scheduling your dinner time in regards to what they have posted because more than likely it's not correct. read more

Arawan Thai Cuisine - Dining area with leftover 88 Arawan Fried Rice (add beef). - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I only put this on here hoping the business will see it, the older gentleman smelled really bad.. my husband and I had to get our food and leave because every time he would walk passed us it was making us feel sick. I think proper hygiene is always important especially when working in a restaurant and when people are trying to eat. I have come here a lot over the years and the food is good but that was just really awful and I feel bad but definitely not okay. read more

We go here all the time and have for almost 15 years. Massuman curry and pad Thai are my favorites, but everything is really good. Staff is always friendly and food is always fast. They house red wine in surprisingly good too. read more

Great food and service. Danny, our server, explained everything to us. Checked on us to see how we were doing. Great experience

My family went here for dinner one night after my wife had gone with a friend and raved about their lettuce wraps. Similar to PF Changs, their lettuce wraps were in fact very good. The chicken Pad Thai I had was pretty average and was not served with a lime, which is a must in my book! My son had the sweet and sour stir fry and that was average as well. The service was fine but the food took a long time to arrive. All in all it seemed to be a very average restaurant with nothing really standing out one way or the other. read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant and the place we keep in mind when comparing all other Thai food. Specifically Pad Thai. We try the pad Thai at most Thai restaurants we go to. Arawan does a great job of having a harmony between the sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. This is true regardless of the type of protein. We've tried curries, fried rices, various noodle dishes, soups, and a number of appetizers, and have never had a complaint! And as you can see in the picture our 2 year old agrees! Pad Thai was amazing, chicken satay, and salad rolls were fresh, fabulous, and both came with amazing sauces. Which brings us to something that we haven't found a comparable restaurant... The peanut sauce!!! Best peanut sauce we have found so far! read more

Had the Thai papaya salad, the 5 chicken wings, green curry w/rice, and pad ki mao. The green curry and pad ki mao were both good, the chicken wings were breaded and fried to have a nice crunch, and the papaya salad was really refreshing. We went Sunday during the lunch rush and although they were busy, we were lucky and seated within 15 mins. The server was both friendly and attentive, and we received our food pretty timely given how busy they were. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised as I'm picky with my Thai food. Keep in mind that they are a smaller establishment, so please call ahead if you're planning on dining with a large party or just order takeout. read more

We Love their shrimp salad rolls it is fresh crunchy served with their best peanut sauce. nice sweet people, service was always great. We always comeback. And pretty much clean read more

I had my usual dish which is the pad kee mao (AKA drunken noodles) and it was okay. Not super remarkable. The sauce was pretty dark and didn't have a ton of yummy flavor that I'm used to for this dish. In this dish, they had the typical bell pepper, mushroom, and onion but I wish it had more veggies. Spice level is pretty accurate; not too spicy. read more

The food here is awesome! Really recommend any of their pad thai dishes, regardless of the noodle type, and any of their pad see ew or pad kee mao. Definitely a hit within my family. Additionally, the restaurant is very clean and orderly, and the servers are kind and work efficiently. Even if small, we love coming back here, and would recommend to any one looking for a bite to eat when it comes to Thai food. Their thai coffee and tea are also great! Instant order in my opinion. read more

Best Thai! Best salad roll/ peanut sauce ! Best Tom yum add noodle and shrimp! Accommodating to my husband's and mine gluten and dairy allergy. Haven't ever gotten sick from this place . Always hits the spot read more

The food was excellent with service to match. The prices are budget friendly. The food we chose was marked as spicy and they were able to adjust it for us since we didn't want it too spicy. Their Tom Kha Gai soup had a unique taste with its coconut milk broth cilantro, tomatoes and mushrooms. It was one of the best soups we have ever tasted. read more

Oh em gee! The food was AMAZING! Would definitely recommend. Don't even bother reading reviews just go order some curry rice or the pad see ew with chicken read more

Wow, the dishes we got was surprisingly very good! Probably one of the best Tom yum I've ever tasted, and I don't usually like Tom yum because it can get too sour. This was the perfect blend of sour and sweet. The pad Thai also has just enough of that sweet and peanut taste, while the pad sew ew is quite good, but can use slightly more sweet taste. But all in all, I can recommend this little Thai restaurant! read more

We have ordered delivery through a service from here 2x. Each time there were things that were delicious and a small number of things that left us a tad disappointed. Their Pad se lew was incredible- a new favorite place to get the dish!! The next time I got yellow curry w/Tofu. Only there was no tofu. They left it out despite it being on the order. The yellow curry was delicious after I simmer it with my own tofu for a while but it was lacking in vegetables and they used a lot of cabbage in it despite the typical carrots and potatoes and onions. Those items were present but sparse. The flavor of the yellow curry was awesome. It was the light yellow type of yellow curry that has a more clean flavor as opposed to the yellow curry that can be more earthy and fishy found elsewhere. I really like it but I would only order it again after speaking with someone at the restaurant. Hubby's Pad Thai was gross no flavor and the texture was off. We have had more pad Thai around the world than any individual should and just as many variations but this one lacked flavor - any flavor. Their crab puffs are fantastic! They were consistently shaped and filled and had delicious flavor. Hubby detected a tad bit of green onion in them which typically I enjoy but he doesn't. He still ordered them a second time so he had to like them. The other highlight were the fresh rolls. We ordered ours with tofu both times and their version of peanut sauce. The name peanut sauce was a tad mis-leading so if you set that aside and consider it more of a peanut curry sauce then you'll experience the layer flavors of what they offer in this delicious sauce. The sauce seemed like a mix of peanut and yellow curry or something along those lines... again very good "peanut sauce" but it was not like the gloopy sugar peanut or the runny peanut sauce that you'd find elsewhere it was the perfect drizzle or dip consistency and had so much flavor. Truly a delightful sauce. I just wish the thai staple of Pad Thai wasn't so gross and the missing tofu which was a big bummer. Due to these two things it see like a 3 star place with a few 5 star items. read more

Arawan Thai Cuisine - Pad se ew, Steamed Veggie, and salad rolls with peanut sauce - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The best Thai place in the area! I have moved around a lot, and one of the things I love to do when moving is trying all the local Thai food restaurants to find the best one. This one is by far it! Easy to find, easy parking, super nice staff, and easy to order via their website for pickup or via a delivery site like door dash. My usual is pad sei-iew with chicken. It's incredible! I have also gotten their pad ki mow and while it was good the pad sei-iew was better. Their spice levels are a bit more than you'd expect. I'm typically a medium-spice person, but their medium was very spicy for me. Now I get not so spicy and it's perfect. read more

The food is delicious!!! Always well made tasty and soooo good, everything from here is delicious

Was in a lazy mood so I put in an order to go. This review is mainly for the take out experience and food itself. Ordered over the phone on a Sunday evening and was told my food would be ready within 15 minutes. Picked up the food and paid with no issues. I ordered the Pad Thai with Tofu ($13.50). The Pad Thai was a decent portion size and had decent flavor. However I knocked one star off for the big pieces of cabbage mixed in that made it hard to eat. Another star was knocked off because they didn't ask me how spicy I wanted my dish but that could have been on me since I didn't think to ask to adjust the spice level. read more

Great food, BUT first call to see if they are open. I came at 8pm expecting them to close at 9pm like the online time said. But the lady said no they close at 8pm. So I'd call first read more

Horrible service. Took them 15 min to figure out their credit card machine... then took 25min for an order of salad rolls... literally lettuce, carrots, and shrimp rolled in rice paper. Never again! read more

Their fried rice is the best! They also have large portions which is great because you can get multiple meals out of one serving.

Tried here for the first time. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of parking outside. It's a clean and new looking spot. The portion sizes are big. The problem is that the food has no flavor. I almost couldn't finish the food cause it was so plain. Wish there was more meat as well. read more
