Be advised this place opens at 5:00 p.m.. Located in commercial center off of East Sahara East of the strip this place is a dining diamond in the rough. The people were friendly service was consistent and the food was very tasty. I had as pictured the mint chicken at a level 5 which the heat did not overshadow any of the subtle flavors at all easily a number seven would have pepped up a bit but just to be safe and I was rewarded with a great tasting dish. With some friends numerous dishes were ordered including one of the ones pictured and a bunch that were not the Thai Tea I wanted to order a picture and just put a garden hose in it it was so tasty. The rice noodle covered prawns / shrimp we're good as well especially with the plum sauce that it comes with. Also the spring rolls are very clean tasting light wrapped with Greenery topped off with a shrimp the sauce for that was tasty and unique as well. I do recommend it it's located near where the old Lotus of Siam was for those who know. Nearer to some work sites so we'll be going again.

Omg I can not say enough. This Lil place is beyond delicious, and full of flavor. The server was humble, kind, attentive, and caring. The egg rolls, papaya salad, shrimp Wong Ton, Tom Kha, Pad Thai was delicious. I flew in to Vegas and found this little gem. Now listen the neighborhood is less than desirable, so don't come fancy or with a fancy bag. However, the place was clean, and the food was off the charts. Don't let the outside prevent you from coming and enjoying the best Thai ever.Absolutely fantastic!

My wife and I have been here several times and they never disappoint. We've tried many delicious food on the menu and they are all so good! Service from the servers was most excellent! I love their fried tofu fried rice. So simple yet very delicious! My wife had the drunken noodle with soft tofu. Both cooked to the correct spice levels and enjoyed every single bite. Will definitely come back over and over again. Update: still excellent service and great food

Excellent lunch specials from 11-3 $15 include soup, entree and ice cream. Thai Iced coffee was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The value for the price was very good. The service was very good , the server was a bit rushed but he's the only server during the lunch time so don't expect any interactions. Lol

This is one of our most favorite places to go to. Why? Because this is where me and hubby went for our first date and since then we fell in love with this place. Every Valentines day we go back here to rekindle the memories. Foods are always amazing, we have tried so many different dishes here and everything was delicious. Although my favorite is their big fried whole fish. Service here is always phenomenal, I used to be a server so I know when a service is more than just great but amazing. Every presentation of the dish is very delightful and you could tell that the chef takes pride of it. Their desserts are always something we look forward to, not just creatively presented, but it's always delicious too. I brought my best friend here too for her birthday and she loved it. This place is awesome for special occasion and romantic dates. It's very solemn, and good vibes. I can't say good enough for this place. I hope they keep their business for a long time. 2024 Check-in: Still my favorite Thai restaurant in Vegas. I cannot highly recommend this place enough

Excellent portions, presentation, ambiance and service! I had the Arawan Pad Thai and my companion had the Duck Red Curry. We also ordered the chicken satay and spring rolls. In all honesty, the Arawan Pad Thai wasn't my favorite. The presentation was gorgeous but I didn't care for the flavor. My companion really enjoyed the duck red curry, though. Both appetizers were also delicious! I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

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, and they made the food pretty fast. Prices were fair, and you get a lot for what you pay. Definitely recommend.
