Great off strip option for excellent Thai food! In. Strip mall that doesn't appear to be very nice, but the inside is much nicer.

Soooooo good i did not talk at all.... I will come here a lot more times... love the food.

This is one of my top 3 Thai Restaurants in Vegas . The food quality, presentation and flavors... always amazing .... Ken was our waiter on Friday evening excellent service and always on top of his game There's something that caught my attention this time ... and this is only constructive criticism. I'm not very fond of the new red and black decor it is too serious and uninviting. I wanted to leave at some point. Too dark in my opinion. Just something to consider

Really nice dinner in a nice setting. We ordered many dishes and shared some of all. Their Pad Thai was beautifully presented. All dishes were tasty and flavorful. I hope I got the dish names correct.

Went here recently for my Mom's birthday celebration. It's in a old kinda of run down area, but my family lives here and know this place. Once you enter the doors, you will be transported to Thailand. We had a group of 10, and everyone ordered something different. The wings were tasty very crispy with a slightly spicey vinegar sauce. The soft spring rolls which my brother raved about were disappointing. They were mostly lettuce, no other veggies and they had one shrimp in it. The dipping sauce normally sweet or peanut sauce was not either. I ordered the red curry with duck. Very tasty but mostly sauce very little duck or veggies. We also had the shrimp wrapped in noodles which I had never seen beforve. Crunchy shrimp wrapped in a crispy noodles. It was layered over a nice broth with vegetables. Others had beef fried rice, crispy basil beef and Phad Thai. They brought out ice cream with a decorated plate for Mom. The staff was great and they gave a nice private party room. Also a nice selection of loose leaf teas. This is a historic neighborhood going through a gentrification. Don't let the outside appearance turn you away. Inside is magical

Despite the location, abandoned/run-down plaza, this place is a must to go and eat! We ordered: crispy duck, Thai iced tea, crab fried rice, chicken panang curry, prawn pad Thai, calamari, and mixed veggies. My faves in order: 1) crab fried rice, 2) mixed veggies, and 3) prawn pad Thai. Whatever heck sauce they used for the crab fried rice was, hot damn oh so good!! The Thai iced tea was strong, which I loved. Service was great and the place was too cute. Note: I do hope they make improvements to the ladies' bathroom, though.

The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. The interior decor was really nice, and the ambiance was great. We ordered a tofu larb, a noodle dish, and the yellow curry. The food tasted fresh and flavorful. We loved the noodle dish and the yellow curry. The tofu larb had a consistency that was a bit too much like raw tofu for our taste, but perhaps that's how it's supposed to be. The flavors were delicious, but we wished the tofu had absorbed the flavors a bit more. The food is really yummy and I would recommend this place. We actually wanted to come back here again, but didn't get a chance to.

Arawan Thai Bistro was awesome! The food was super yummy, especially the Panang curry and chicken satay - seriously delicious. I tried a bunch of dishes like red curry, yellow curry, fried rice, and egg rolls, and they were all really good. The service was good, great ambiance, and they made the food pretty fast. Prices were fair, and you get a lot for what you pay. Definitely recommend.

Service was quick and great. The place is very warm and cozy inside. The Thai style decor is very pleasing to the eyes. We went here for lunch on a weekday. The lunch menu was not extensive and I feel it's just right. I ordered the pad Thai and it was a huge serving good probably for 2. We were started with chicken noodle soup and then followed by our entree. Our drinks were refilled promptly without even asking. Then lastly there was a scoop of ice cream that was delicious. Very nice and cozy place. It may not be in the best neighborhood but if you're in the area, try to eat here for lunch and you won't get disappointed.
