Awesome Pad Thai Dishes, I had the Silver Pad Thai with Shrimps, which was glass noodles instead of rice noodles and an app of chicken satay with peanut sauce which was so tasty! The Thai Coffee had I very unique taste that was over and above others I've had B4!

My husband I have have become regulars here because the food is always so fresh and tasty! Try the tofu salad rolls with peanut sauce, it's always a starter for us! Ped phet, red curry and the pad thai are our favorites:) Must try if you're in the area!

Not too shabby I thought. The food was good and pretty fast. The space is small but I think it's a perfect size and the location is a great location. Fiancee had the Pineapple Fried rice with chicken and shrimp. And I had something with rice noodles and beef. Both dishes were spicy. We started out with the salad roll and it wasn't bad at all. It was packed with some good amounts of salad roll insides, like lettuce and noodles. In side th boat dish was hot curry sauce to dip it in. Pretty good flavor I thought. The meats in both dishes were overcooked. The Thai ice tea was sweet, like oh my teeth are rotting sweet. The service was good and I've not had any problems with this place, granted it was my second time. And the portions are good as well.

Best pad Thai I ever had! The owners are very kind and friendly. So far no other place has better pad Thai. I also had the tom yum soup which was ok. Not a fan of lemongrass. The deep fried crab and cream cheese puffs were super yummy as well!

My husband and I went to eat here last night on a whim. We were looking for some good Thai food and happened to be in this area, so we thought we'd give it a try--How bad could it be, right? Well--it was awful!! There was a wait when we got there, which was okay and we waited patiently. The servers were very quick to clear tables and we were seated relatively promptly for a packed restaurant on a Friday night. The first issue was that people that were seated well after us were given water and had their orders taken before us. We could overlook this.....though it was irritating. Our waiter took our orders and we got our drinks--regular iced tea and a Thai iced tea. Our food came out in a decent amount of time for the amount of people in the restaurant and it looked pretty good. I ordered the Pad Thai and my husband ordered a pork dish that I cannot recall the name for. We had to ask for water, but our server did bring it out promptly. The only reason I make mention of this is that all of the other tables around us were brought water to start without asking and we were not. Still....not a big deal yet. I was eating my food and my husband noticed a very long black hair down in his curry. We brought this to the attention of a different server that happened to be walking by and she said that she would have the kitchen remake the dish. While my husband and I were waiting, I thought about what we were paying and how little the server seemed to care about the obvious hair in my husband's dinner. So....I asked to speak to a manager. The manager came out and I told her what the problem was. By this time, my husband's remade food had come out in it's to-go box. I explained to the manager that I was concerned about the general cleanliness and practices of the restaurant. She "assured" me that the hair could not have come from someone in the kitchen and that it must have--been on top of the dish or came from the table somehow. Tell me....does this make it better?? I saw the hair coming out of the curry with my own 2 eyes and it was certainly not my husband's or mine (I have pink hair and his is short brown). At this point, it was like we were being called liars and she was not owning up to the problem which could have been easily fixed with a sincere apology and/or a comped meal for the trouble. She offered to remake my food as well due to my apparent disgust and I told her that I doubted the cleanliness of the kitchen and didn't want to eat anything that came out of it. She kept asking me what I wanted her to do. I told her that it was her restaurant and I wanted to know what she wanted to do--I wasn't asking for anything here. So she said that we could just leave. I told her that was fine and that I would gladly pay for our teas. She accepted. I tipped our server--wasn't his fault or his hair for that matter--paid for our teas and left. We did not take any of the food, because, at this point we were grossed out at what else she was lying about. Simple fix here--own up to your mistake, don't pass off the blame, and don't ask the customer what to do--just make it right and be honest! Mistakes happen, and this was handled awfully. We certainly won't be back and I seriously hope others think twice before going here. I would hate to see someone get sick from a much more serious mistake. Now I am wishing we hadn't even paid for the teas! Should have just tipped the server and left!

It's our go-to because it's so close and always satisfies the Thai craving. Delicious peanut sauce. Pad prig king, pad Thai, all the curries. Always delicious.

This place IS good. I'd go here again, I just don't think the food is blow your mind amazing. It's good. We had the beef/broccoli and the chicken with white peppers(?). Not bursting with tons of incredible flavor is all. Very decent food. (I'm quite picky and love amazing Asian food, though). Better than many other options on 82nd in this area, though. So try it! Service was extremely slow, but nice people.

Meh.... The salad rolls aren't the best I ever had... I was really hoping for a really good fresh spring roll but these were coming up short... The lettuce was fresh and the rolls were wrapped right but only one shrimp in the role. Peanut sauce was ok it didn't have a huge flavor. None the less just a standard roll.

My #1 Thai go to! That's coming from an Asian person. I know my Thai and Asian food and this place hits the spot for me. Some dishes are a bit sugary but it's not drench like other washed out catered to Americans taste buds Asian places. Hope that made sense! Pad Thai, papaya salad and pineapple fried rice and tom yum soup are mostly what I order. It's my spot when I'm lazy to cook. Staff is friendly and food comes out at a descent time depending what hour you come. They do to-go orders so that's a plus! And their Thai ice tea is pretty good too. Must try this place and judge for yourself!

We eat here often and it is still our go to place for Thai. Their Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Thai Fried Rice are all our favorites and excellent every single time! The staff is always incredibly nice and the service is fast.

My husband and I are suckers for Thai. Arawan is a classic and a staple for us. Green curry is my favorite and the drunken noodles are great. They are willing to accommodate any taste and always accommodate different requests. Plus they are beyond friendly and have great recommendations. We've tried most of the menu and haven't been disappointed.

I haven't had any item on the menu that I disliked. The red curry is personally my favorite dish. The items are priced moderately, but the restaurant itself has a fast food type feel.

Delicious, fresh food and came out with perfect timing. We had (and loved) theTom Yum soup, Pad Thai with shrimp, Spicy Steak Salad, and Appetizer Sampler. They would have gotten 5 stars for using real crab meat (not fake, yuck) in the crab wontons. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and the staff was friendly and attentive.
