| - I come here every time I visit Vegas, their service is phenomenal and food is delicious.
I was going to visit Lotus of Siam, but it was packed and they weren't very friendly when busy. After reading reviews on Arawan I decided to give it a try and has to stop by ever since.
I've ordered the curry short rib, squid ink noodle, green curry scallop and calamari. Dessert I ordered the creme brûlée and the vanilla ice cream with espresso shot(forgot the name).
They gave us complementary chips and dip. It was sweet, tangy and mild spicy. Calamari was soft and lightly battered with a kick of spice.
Short ribs were very tender and flavorful, sauce was a perfect consistently, not too runny or thick.
Squid ink noodles had a nice chew to the noodles, good amount of seafood and not too salty.
Green curry scallops were perfectly cooked, and I really like the strong Thai spices. I had a glass of sauvignon blanc (forgot the name) and it worked really well with the scallops.
Creme brûlée was very pretty, the sugar net shell was a little hard to eat, but the rest was very rich and a perfect portion.
Vanilla bean ice cream with espresso shot could of made the cut of the ice cream was creamier, it tasted like it sat in the fridge for a period of time... biscotti was just ok. Taste overall was 4/5
I have to really talk about the service. They are so humble, and I made a call to reserve a table and they were really kind and asked if it was for a special occasion like birthday or anniversary. They thanked me for coming back every time and the smile and the way they serve is above and beyond. I will be coming back AGAIN! AND they have more desserts now because they have a new person creating new dessert. When receiving the desserts he/she would explain what's in front of you. Arawan haven't disappointed me.
