I really have had a difficult time writing this. I want them to be popular enough to stay in business, but not so they turn into other trendy restaurants in the area with insufferable lines and people. I like the Fermented Tea Leaf Salad here better than anywhere else. And I've eaten at all the other places. This salad is packed with all that salty, sour, crunchy, tea...leafy flavor that you get a fraction of in other restaurants. I don't actually order anything else. Partner orders some things mostly with duck; I don't like duck but here it's good enough that I will steal a piece. Curry is bomb. Best part is they don't mix the salad at the table or do anything but bring you lots of salad quickly and then let you eat it in peace. The people who run it are very nice. We've never had trouble getting a seat and we don't want to have trouble so just go when we're not planning to be there, ok? It's a cute little place and I hope it stays open because I don't know what I'd do otherwise because I seriously love the salad. Not expensive, as well. Now I want salad. read more

First time today! We ordered Spicy and sour soup, pad Thai, Pan nag curry, and stirred fried egg plants. Serve was great! Food was great!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

Food: We ordered the Tom Ka soup, which was a bit sweet. The Pad kee mow was very good and had a good amount of veggies. The shrimp was clean and tasty. The pineapple fried rice had good flavor and additives. Generous with the chicken and pineapple. The thai tea was also really good. Service: The service was great! Waiter was super nice. We were tucked away, but we didn't get forgotten. Food came pretty fast. Good lighting and decorations. Looks clean as well. read more

I hate to do this but this is disgusting. We ordered yellow curry that came with a hair in it. We open the red curry it had a giant bug. They need to take a look at their cleanliness of their kitchen. This is really bad. read more

Food was excellent with very generous portions. Great spot and had no trouble parking. Loved it!

Ordered Drunken noodle Have always got excellent food here. Tonight not! It was tasteless, no basil, no moisture. Dry mushy. All noodles were broken down into small pieces. No flavor at all. Not even sure what it was. I make a great noodle at home but didn't have the time tonight. Really disappointed with the quality today. I know they're capable of much better and I'm not sure who made my noodles, but they should be pulled aside and schooled. read more

No complaints here. We went at an off time so the restaurant was pretty empty and we were served in a timely manner. Inside it's clean and fun thai decorations and paintings around. Not too much else to say about that they also had mints and candy when you leave which I appreciate a lot. For food I got the khao soo and let me tell you they do not skimp on portions. All my friends foods were very well sized given the price and I took basically another meals worth of khao soo back home. The soup it's self was ver flavorful and rich broth and the noodles were chewy and a good feel. They use chicken breast pieces I believe instead of bone in chicken legs. The mango sticky rice was a classic they drizzle some sweet coconut syrup on top as well read more

We came here on a busy holiday weekend and it wasn't too packed. The service was friendly and quick. They have a great lunch menu on the weekdays with combos and discounted specials. The portions are quite well sized. We got the pad ke mao and the fresh ginger entree with tofu and vegetables for both. Unfortunately the tofu wasn't my favorite and tasted hollow and a bit soggy, as well as not very flavorful. I picked most of it off, but there is a generous portion. The pad ke mao was well flavored and the noodles were nice and springy. The dish was slightly too oily and heavy. The fresh ginger entree was also well flavored and had a good helping of the vegetables. The curries seemed to be better, but probably heavy on a hot day. Overall, pretty standard good Thai food in Sausalito. I'm sure there are better places, but this is a reliable and affordable option. read more

Customer service is great and the food tastes authentic. The portions are excellent for sharing and spice levels are good. We ordered pad kee mao, pad thai, and my 5 year old loved the bbq pork. read more

Experience was good. We wanted to try something new. The food was delicious. The service was fast. The place was clean and located in a nice street. They charge for extra sauce as we've heard the server, tell others. And asked for vinegar he told us that the sauce that came with our dish was sufficient. read more

I'm so bummed that this was as bad as it was. I got the Tom Kah and the pad Thai and both were very disappointing, the soup had no lemongrass taste and was pretty bland, only flavorful part was the mushrooms. When I got the pad Thai it had no lime and when I asked for some they told me they didn't have any. Never been to a Thai place without lime. It was affordable and friendly which is why I gave it two stars instead of 1 but I wouldn't recommend this if you've had good Thai before. read more

Delicious Thai food ! Has some bright back to me. My son loves it for lunch every Friday with his work crew.

Awesome Thai food -- especially for vegetarians! Their combo was only $18 and I got an appetizer, 2 salads, and a main entree. Additionally, the food was seasoned really well and wasn't too spicy for my taste. Not the fanciest restaurant, and reminded me of street food, but that's what made it so great. My Panag Curry w/ Tofu was scrumptious and I'd definitely go there again! read more

Picked up togo from Arawan Thai Cuisine while visiting Sausalito recently. Our go-to dishes to really gauge Thai food are green curry, pad see ew, and a fresh spring roll. However, when I saw soft shell crab curry, I knew I had to order it as well. I've never had this dish before. We added a few orders of brown rice to top it off. The pad see ew was cooked perfectly with the right amount of broccoli, chicken, and noodles. It wasn't overly salty like some other places. The green curry over brown rice was so flavorful. Perfect amount of spice and thick. The fresh spring roll was freshly made, soft, and went perfectly with the dipping sauce. It wasn't a peanut sauce but was still complemented the roll well. My favorite dish was the curry soft shell crab!! Since no one else in the family eats soft shell crab, I ate it from the togo container! It was amazing! I put brown rice on top to capture the curry sauce and flavor and scooped out chunks of soft shell crab, curry, and rice with each scoop. Did I already say how amazing this dish was? The crab taste combined with curry was so delicious! I would drive to Sausalito just to pick up this dish! read more

Had lunch here on a beautiful Sunday. The entire block was packed with people having lunch. We started out with Sate Chicken. I had the Pad Sai Roong with chicken and the GF had D-Panang Curry with vegetables We both enjoyed our choices with the exception of the chicken in the Sate and the pad sai roong. The chicken tasted old and it was dry. If it wasn't for the chicken I'd give the food 4 stars. read more

Not as good as it used to be. We ordered spring rolls which was overly fried, both the pad Ka prow and pad kee mao were ordered spicy but they still had sweetness to them. We drove here for an hour to try their food again and was disappointed. Service was great. Ambiance is always nice at this location read more

Mouthwatering soft shell crab! I pride myself in having been to many Thai restaurants but this place blew me away. It's small so be careful not to pass it. The noodle dishes are hearty spicy and hot. The soft-shell crab (a family recipe) is breaded with coconut flakes and fried to perfection. Melts in your mouth. I must admit this was my first time experiencing soft-shell crab but I'm glad it was at Arawan. Friendly staff, great service. Easy parking read more

I stopped by Arawan, a small Thai joint in Sausalito. They offer a full range of Thai favorites at modest prices. I had the pad see ew - a classic Thai noodle dish with chicken (you have a choice of protein). The vegetables were flavorful and fresh and my noodles and chicken were cooked well. The dish was solid but not spectacular. Service left a bit to be desired. There was only one server, who was friendly, but struggled to deal with a full dining room. read more

After being q customer here countless times.. getting several hairs in my curry.. I will no longer be returning after our last dine in. You see i decided to dine in because I refused to eat MILLIONS OF MICROPLASTICS again from getting delivery from this restaurant. No I didn't get a hair this time as I have in the past both dining in and at home delivery.. but I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the rude service. I'm sick of the canned bamboo and carrots. I'm sick of the rice not being included. I'm sick of the sink water. I'm sick of the weird sauce we got tonight.. I'm sick of being overcharged.. I simply refuse to ever return read more

Arawan has been great for takeout during the pandemic. They are always prompt, the orders have been consistently correct, and they communicate well. I learned that if the menu (seamless, uber eats) doesn't have certain items or options available, you can place the order and then call. They'll make the changes. Make orders "extra spicy" and they'll add chili flakes. read more

The food was uncooked, the beef raw in red curry and tasted completely off. Not a good experience.

A frequent go-to when we don't feel like cooking. Delicious, good service, and affordable.

Without a doubt, I had the tastiest Thai food here since visiting Thailand. This food was flavorful, authentic, and delicious in every bite. I spent a weekend in Sausalito and ate here twice! Could not get enough. The Kaosoy (a dish well known in northern Thailand, Chiang Mai) was incredible. I think of it as a Pho-style dish infused with Thai flavors. It's hard to find in the US in my experience, so I was beyond happy to find it here! I also had the green curry, pad Thai, and a sweet potato appetizer (mud son I think it was called?). Everything was amazing and the servers were great. Wish I lived closer to eat her regularly! read more

AVOID. UNSAFE. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Just ordered take out and after taking a bite of my Siamese roll I found a dirty piece of white rubber in my mouth. I'm hoping that I didn't actually shallow any more of it before I noticed. DISGUSTING. If you want to be sure what's inside your food, go elsewhere. read more

Best Thai food around. Nothing competes or compares. And they actually know how to make it spicy. Thank you

I must have posted about Arawan in the past but it bears repeating. This is my favorite Thai restaurant and has been for years. My personal favorites are Green Curry Chicken, Pad See Ew, fresh rolls and BBQ pork. I order from here at least once a week and I am never disappointed. The food is consistent, fresh and delicious. The people at Arawan are really lovely too. read more

This is the second time we got hair in our food. This time my children each found hair in there food so multiple hairs. Not sure if I ate another hair or not. This is absolutely disgusting and certainly ruins the whole meal. I must add the broccoli with tofu and slim to none frozen carrots is ridiculously overpriced at 15 dollars and add 3 dollars for barely any extra tofu. WHERE HAIRNETS! I highly doubt I'll ever order from this place again. read more

I came here recently with a friend after we went hiking nearby. Arawan Thai Cuisine is conveniently located in the heart of Sausalito, with plenty of street parking available. We called in advance for take out and our food was ready when they said it would be. The transaction was very COVID-19 friendly. They've closed off the dine-in areas and they've separated the clean & used pens for receipt signing. While the service was swift and easy, our food was just alright. We ate in the car right after we picked up the food and the food was piping hot. I ordered the Pad See Ew and my friend ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice minus the cashews. We both thought that our dishes were lacking a bit of flavor and we ended up dousing our dishes in some of their chili sauce to enhance our meal. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm a little bummed that the food didn't meet my expectations but hopefully it was just a one-off instance. Maybe I'll try something else the next time! read more

Great options on the menu. We got the goong gaborg and papaya salad for appetizers. Both tasted great. The salad had generous amounts of dressing. For main course we got the basil fried rice and green curry. The basil fried rice was very flavorful. The green curry was sweet even though on the menu it mentioned medium spicy. That wasn't something we were expecting. The mango sticky rice was good. Could have had more coconut milk. The rice seemed a bit dry. Overall the place is great and the service is great as well. read more

Ordered some food from here (UberEats) and was overall pleased with the quantity and quality. I asked for it to be as spicy as it could be and while it was spicy, it wasn't burning hot (which could be good or bad depending on your preference). The attempt at the blazing hot seemed to be just drizzled on top in sections and not mixed in (which I tried to do as best I could). What I will say though is the appetizer was excellent (Mun Tod) and if the whole meal was this good it would be a solid 5/5. As it was and not counting the driver/time as a factor I can say I was pleased, but not blown away. Would I recommend? Yes Would I go back (if possible with Covid)? Yes read more

Great Thai food and location! It's not on the busy Bridgeway street of Sausalito. This was recommended by friends who live in San Francisco. The chicken Pad kee mow and green curry with tofu had good flavors. I'm not a big fan of Tom Yum, it was a little more on the sour side for me but my husband liked it. I'll try Tom kha next time. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We will be back. read more

This is a destination for me every time I'm in Sausalito. I love love love this place.. I usually have the pad keep mao and my husband has a curry with rice. I've also had their fresh spring rolls and that samosas.. Everything is always good and great quality, but one of the things that stands out and I appreciate the most is volume of fresh veggies. We're both vegetarians, so this is a biggie. I cannot recommend this place enough convenient to the main street.. Plenty of street parking.. Great service.. Reasonable prices. read more
