| - I found Arawan through Yelp when searching for a dinner and dessert restaurant. I have mixed feelings about the place.
First, I'll start off with the restaurant itself. From the outside, I personally get a food truck kind of feel from the place. They have pictures of their dishes plastered on the outside, which is nice because then you know exactly what you're getting. We were surprised upon entering the restaurant: it's beautiful! They have a modern chic style going on. The seats were comfortable and the decor was nice to look at. It's just a little deceiving from the outside because I wanted to have a cool dinner with my friends, but I felt like I was on a fancy date.
Secondly, the service. I believe there is such thing as too much service, and I got too much service here and it wasn't good. I know I might have been taking awhile to look over the menu, but three different employees came up to my table within a 5-minute period to ask if everything was okay. At one point, it was very awkward and uncomfortable. I felt like I would be kicked out if I didn't make a decision on the spot.
Lastly, I'll talk about the food:
The menu is split into different categories and the portion sizes are all over the place. I ordered an orange chicken plate and my friend had the pad thai special. Both of our portions were fairly large, so there were no complaints from our end, but I just found it odd because I was expecting that my friend would have a bigger portion than mine since she was paying almost double for her selection. My husband ordered the red duck curry and he had a little portion which was made worse by the fact that it was served in a bowl with a large rim. It looked tiny. I wish I could have gotten a photo of the disappointment on his face. It's all about presentation, and the presentation of the curry was lacking. Aside from that, the flavors were not lacking. Everyone was satisfied with how the food tasted. We decided to try their dessert since that was one of the main reasons we came down there. Their dessert is amazing! We ordered the vanilla bean creme brulee and the earthquake. The presentation is beautiful and the desserts were not too sweet: they were the perfect ending to our meal.
I love Thai food, so I'm always up to trying new places. Although this restaurant is beautiful and the food tasted good, it just left me feeling very confused. I feel like the restaurant is trying too hard. I'll skip on it this place next time. There are better and cheaper thai places in the valley.
