It has only been a few weeks since the Greek restaurant Orexi has gone out of business (https://downtownbellevue.com/2012/04/11/orexi-greek-restaurant-bellevue-way-out-of-business/) and the landlord has wasted no time replacing the tenant. Taking its place is Araya’s Place, a Thai Vegan restaurant. It is their second location in the area; their original location is on in the University District on 45th Ave, which has been open for 26 years.
Araya’s has been looking to expand in Bellevue for over a year. The reason they wanted to expand to Bellevue was due to many of their customers living on the Eastside. This is the first strictly vegan restaurant in Downtown Bellevue. To celebrate their grand opening for the entire month of May they are offering a 10% off to customers.
The menu features many dishes with noodles, rice, and curry. Many of these dishes often include some of their popular ingredients such as tofu, banana, pineapple, mushrooms, and more. One of their most popular items on the menu is “Drunken Mushroom” that features wide rice noodles that are stir-fried in garlic, chili, and of course mushrooms.
During a trip to the restaurant this week the staff was very attentive and friendly.
You can view their menu online at their website (http://arayasplace.com/).
