We've been going to Arawan for years, and although they've gone through some changes they've stayed a reliable place to have a good Thai meal. I had the wide rice noodles with beef, my wife had the the pad thai and both were very good, up to our expectations from before. Nice people, attentive service, and reasonable prices. read more

Yummy pad Thai that we got for takeout for a planning session at a friends house. The extra peanuts made it so delicious and the flavor of the dish was simply delicious. The noodles were tender and chewy (the way I like it) and the tofu was perfectly cooked and disintegrated well in my mouth. Definitely recommend this place for some good pad Thai. read more

Thai is On my way! Of our favorite cuisines and Arawan is our one stop shop for all things Thai food. They have great service and are very personable. I've spent time learning about Thailand from the staff. As always you get to control the spice level of your food. What I understand is that the spice level in Thailand is much greater then our palates can handle. The mango sticky was my focus for this trip. It's a seasonal dessert with a short window. It's sweet and savory at the same time. Not overly sweet the mango's are perfectly ripe. The rice is sticky but not gooey. We love this restaurant. When asked where to go in Vancouver we recommend Arawan Thai. read more

Way too sweet, asked for 2*'s and the Pad Thai had no heat. Was planning to be both my lunch and dinner, but left half of order because I didn't want to eat it as leftovers. Do not recommend. Left half the salad rolls as well, peanut sauce was runny, not thick like traditional sauce. Heard the waitress say "new owners" read more

I gave this place too high of a rating last time. It deserves NO STARS if anything. As I mentioned in my previous review, I had ordered the Yellow Curry with chicken and two Shrimp Salad Rolls through Uber Eats delivery. When it arrived, they gave me Salad Rolls that had shrimp that had gone bad! It was sooo stinky, I had to throw them out! I can't believe this place is still in business! They should be ashamed of themselves for not throwing out food that is going bad and serving to their customers! I am glad I did not get food poisoning! read more

A wide variety of delicious dishes Served hot and plated with care. Friendly staff and attentiive. read more

We've been ordering take-out for years (I have the containers to prove it)! They make THE BEST PAD THAI!

If you're craving sushi and genuine care, look no further than Asaka! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth that matches the cozy ambiance. The staff here go above and beyond, making you feel like family rather than just customers. Each roll is a work of art, crafted with precision and bursting with fresh flavors. But what truly sets this place apart is the sincere care they extend to every patron. Whether it's dietary restrictions or simply checking in to ensure your satisfaction, their attentiveness shines through. Dining here isn't just about the food; it's an experience of genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for both sushi aficionados and those seeking a heartwarming dining experience. Side note: I also placed a delivery late in the evening thinking they were open until 10, they closed at 9pm and still prepared fresh delicious sushi and ramen. The staff was so polite and understanding- I apologized a dozen times and they were very reassuring. I'm unsure of where the negative reviews come from, because the 4 times we have been they have been fantastic! read more

Another solid Thai restaurant... also great beer on tap:) [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice environment as well...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] very good quick service.

Amazing! We've explored countless Thai restaurants over the years, and Arawan Thai is the BEST! Their food isn't just delicious, it's the best in town, hands down. You can tell their chefs know exactly what they're doing, because the food tastes just like I had in Thailand. They give you lots of veggies unlike other places. My food is always hot, smells great and taste amazing! I will never go anywhere else. read more

Excellent food. The vegetables were noticeably fresh and tasty. The service was very friendly.

I generally don't give low reviews but....come on. So I stopped here to grab food to go since it was too hot to cook. I ordered the salad rolls and the number 87. (See picture). This dish says it is supposed to be spicy. When I gave them the name of the dish they asked me if I would like it mild, medium, hot or extra hot. I said I like spicy food and that I would like it to be hot please. They gave me a wait time and I walked over to the BevMo for a moment. When I came back (less than 10 min later), I picked up my food. The salad rolls were just ok. No real flavor, but the peanut sauce was pretty good. The #87 was a disappointment tho. It tastes like overly greasy pork fried rice that someone tossed some wilted basil into. Zero spice. None. I'm not saying it wasn't "spicy enough" for me, I mean it was bland. Bland and greasy. This wasn't a good experience at all. I likely won't be back. read more

Could not say enough about this wonderful spot in Vancouver just off of 165th. Excellent service and beyond tasty food. I think the real hit was the Pineapple Curry although my entre was just about as good. And we thought the price for what we had was very reasonable. read more

Arawan Thai Cuisine - Drunkards pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This has been my second bad experience with this restaurant. I don't know if it's the culture, but they don't ever greet you as if you're welcome there. I ordered garden curry, which is a red curry. She served me green curry. When I told her she brought me the wrong thing, she admitted she ordered the wrong thing and tried talking me into keeping the green curry. When I said no, I wanted the red curry. She acted displeased. When my red curry arrived, she literally threw it on the table walked away without looking at me. I requested chopsticks when I placed my order, they never came. I sat there and waited while others food arrived at their table watching them eat with their chopsticks. It took me over five minutes to finally get my chopsticks. Never once did they come back to my table and ask me how my food was or refill my water. When I did not tip and walked out, she gave me a dirty look. Never once offering an apology or asking how things were. I will never eat there again. This was on 6/21/25 at approximately 3:00 pm. read more

Yum! The drunkard noodles were so flavorful and spicy. The tofu had the perfect crispy outside and great flavor! The Tom Kha Guy soup was hearty with plenty of chicken and mushrooms. The broth was so tasty and had lots of ginger and lemongrass. Staff was so sweet and attentive, and portions were very generous. My husband and I got 2 entrees for less than $30 after tax! read more

I had been wanting to come back to Arawan's. We had visited for Thai food when in the area quite a few years ago. So, this was the day and I was looking forward to it. At our table of 4 we had ordered the Pad Thai (different meats) and also the #93. The food was good but the service was just ok. We sat for quite a while until the server came to get our order. It's not that the place was packed. On our side of the restaurant there were two tables and on the other side there were also only two tables with guests seated. The water was filled once for two at our table but not refilled for the other two nor did server return to fill. We ordered the sticky rice for dessert. We did not receive it but we also were not charged for it. Again, we waited and waited for our bill. Our server definitely was not very attentive. Perhaps, she was busy in the kitchen -- no idea. The food was good but with the service not so good, not sure I would make a special trip to visit like we did this time. read more

I've only ordered pick up, but I've done so several times. The soup was amazing and spice level was exactly as we expected from the level that we wanted. Could've gone spicier honestly. Excited to go back! read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Vancouver. We just finished an amazing meal here and have to leave a review. Everything was delicious. Shrimp salad rolls with great peanut sauce, followed by a Panang curry that was outragious. They brought thai chili oil for extra spice. If you get a chance to visit when mangoes are in season, the mango and sticky rice is one of the best desserts ever. To add to the food, they always have really friendly service and they recently refurbished the restaurant. If you like great Thai food you can find it here in Vancouver. read more

It pains me to leave this review. First; I've eaten here before but it's been about two yrs back and for certain one other time most likely in 2018, each time it's been the same just sad to say very medicore. That's why I or we never returned for such a long stretch of time. I got garden curry with tofu, and papaya salad. I requested thai hot for the curry and medium for the salad. First the curry is supposed to have a lot of vegetables. It did not. It had very few vegetables; Which was disappointing. Also hardly any spice at all..... And I had specifically mentioned to the cashier please ask the cook to make it spicy. The overall flavor was flat. The papaya salad was just ok... I've had a lot worse and I've had a lot better so this was average. But also no decernible taste of spice. And the huge take away with the papaya salad was it was too salty..after eating it my mouth was dry and I needed to gulp copious amounts of water..then I found myself waking up in the middle of the night with dry mouth needing more water. This usually only occurs when I've consumed msg.. The whole meal has no love and if they want to make me a regular customer we'll give the food you make some love and tender care..better portions, more fresh not over cooked vegetables and please dont use msg. And finally when a customer requests thai hot please make the food spicy. Arawan doesn't use the fresh thai chilli peppers in they're Food. I really don't know what they use for chilli peppers but it had almost zero spice. Service, the folks working there are super friendly and kind. I found myself chatting with the cashier and another employee..they make you feel very welcome. That is why it hurts to give this review.... The ambiance is beautiful. They have one of the nicest interiors, booths and tables all very posh and clean with lots of Thai art and decorations all over... Just a wonderful place. I even mentioned to the cashier I hope the food is good because I would then become a regular customer and not always have to drive across the bridge for delicious Thai food. I was so hopeful that Arawan was going to reverse the trend of disappointment that we have been finding with the Thai restaurants in Vancouver.. but sadly it didn't. read more

Great food. Easy prices. Full bar. Kind and lovely waitstaff. What more could you ask for!

This is definitely a neighborhood favorite for me. They have renovated the interiors over the years and it's nice. My favorite things there are the lettuce wrap, which is a great sort of DIY dish. It's got all those signature Thai flavors. The Tom Kah soup is also one of my go -tos the line and coconut flavors marry so wonderfully in this dish. When I have ordered to go in the past the service is always prompt. I haven't gone to sit down in a while but the last time they seemed to be a bit short staffed. This is a reliable neighborhood spot that is tried and true. Consistently good. read more

I saw this place was top rated, 1 rating saying best Thai food in Vancouver.

We ordered red curry with chicken and pineapple fried rice, which I like but my guy said it was decent. The curry lacked flavor, had too much chicken and not enough veggies for me. The fried banana with chocolate syrup and whip cream was good! read more

Had the Yellow curry and pork pad Thai. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super delicious food and a nice sit down atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Tammie, our server was great. The cuisine was delicious and different from all other Thai restaurants. The spice level was hot, so if spice is not your thing, make sure to order mild. Pleasant environment. Clean and nice decor. We will return. read more

They have plenty variety of food to choose from. Delicious crab Rangoon, they don't skimp on the stuffing. Great pad Thai, if you order less spicy it's on the sweet side so I recommend going with medium. Sweet and sour chicken has really nice flavor and is a pleasant change from always having breaded chicken. Massaman curry is one of my favorites as well. Have only ordered take out and they do a fine job packaging the food for transport. Nice reusable containers, too! read more

New to the area and our first meal back in town after a week in Hawaii. And what a treat it was. Sarah was more than efficient, kind and accommodating which just added to the great food and overall experience. The sample platter was a perfect option for the two of us who wanted to try everything (you're allowed to pick 3; we took fried crab wontons, egg rolls, chicken satay which were all great. My wife had the Tom Yum soup with a 4/5 which she claimed was the perfect spice for her (and ensures I won't eat her food) with a generous portion of shrimp she was a happy camper. I opted for the Pad Thai which was great. Our only thought was the Peanut sauce was somewhat lacking in flavor but certainly not "bad". In the end we can't wait to go back and explore the menu further!!! read more

I eat here about three times a month. I would eat there more if I had more money. I love the food there my friends. Love it there. The service is good. They remodeled it so it's really nice inside. I really like the solid rolls with the peanut sauce. The Curry is awesome. I've had all of them. I'm a regular. read more

This is not my preferred Thai restaurant, but it was convenient to order from them as it's close to my home. I ordered the salad rolls and chicken satay, both of which are served with peanut sauce. My order arrived very well packaged and hot! Actually had to drop the chicken satay package as it was that hot. The order comes with 5 chicken satay skewers. They're about 1/4 inch thick. A flavorful marinade mix of herbs and spices is just the right seasoning and this is a good choice if you don't want spicy food. They had grill marks, so I'm assuming they were indeed grilled. Served with peanut sauce and a cucumber salad. The salad rolls (Po Pia Sot) are made to order and served with peanut sauce. The rice paper wrapper was nearly bursting at the seam. Over stuffed with crunchy, very fresh tasting vegetables, the majority of which is lettuce with a bit of carrot. They give you an ample amount of shrimp, although tofu is also an option. Rice noodles round out the ingredients. Ok, let's talk about the best thing about Thai food- peanut sauce! I think I could eat it alone as a soup. It. Is. So. Delicious! The peanut sauce is the ribbon wrapped around the present of my order. I don't know their specific recipe, but it's good. The only "bad" thing (and it's a big stretch to call it bad) was the chicken satay were packed on top of the salad rolls and some of the delicious, savory sauce managed to drip through a tiny opening onto the salad rolls. read more
