    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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere and decor for an"plaza"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Authentic Thai cuisine obviously made with good ingredients. They hand make their wontons and egg rolls... the best I've had around here they no longer have a lunch menu so portions are big.

    This cashew chicken was amazing

    I have been to this Thai place several times now and each time I've ordered a different dish and they have excellent fresh appetizing main dishes I had never had Thai food before I went to this amazing restaurant. I recommend that you try it. It's delicious.

    Always delicious meals at Vancouver spot Arawan Thai. Great service and a nice recent remodel, along with always fresh and flavorful authentic dishes!

    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!

    This place has amazing food & great service. Chicken satay is a solid favorite for me. Literally everything is good though..

    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.

    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.

We started with a couple Thai mules which were made with a spicy and delicious ginger beer. For food we ordered the Nem Kai from the house specials menu and, after an enthusiastic endorsement, the drunken noodles. Both dishes were amazing. The ingredients were fresh and the portions were generous. We couldn't finish so we took the leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day. I have been craving that rice dish for the past week since our visit. I will have to go back soon! The servers were attentive and helpful, even though it was closer to closing time than we thought. We sat outside and enjoyed the landscaping on a nice evening. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and refreshing beverage.

Restaurant was clean. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering the restaurant. Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We ordered a few appetizers to share; coconut shrimp, potstickers, chicken satay and BBQ pork fresh salad rolls. Each appetizer came with an appropriate dipping sauce. The food was good, and tasted fresh. The chicken satay was a bit dry, but the curry flavor was perfect and the peanut dipping sauce helped give it a bit of moisture. I feel like the prices were a bit steep. We only ordered one non-alcoholic beverage and 4 appetizers, and the bill was just shy of $80, with tip. I guess I didn't realize how expensive it was since last time I came for Happy Hour. Overall we were happy with our experience here; however, next time we'll make sure we hit Happy Hour for better pricing. Would recommend.

The Massaman curry was bland, with huge overcooked vegetables and tofu that fell apart. The Pad Thai had a sour, off smell and taste. The main dining room was stacked with kitchen‑supply boxes. Our server ghosted us the entire meal. When he finally reappeared to collect the money, my husband politely mentioned the curry had no flavor and that we would've appreciated being asked about the spice level when ordering. He shrugged and said he didn't bother because we ordered "mild dishes," and that we should've asked to be "hooked up with a spice rack." Then he dropped the card reader on the table, said "boom-boom," and strutted off. Bizarre. Food, atmosphere, service: three strikes. We're out.
