Arawan Thai Cuisine is a family owned restaurant that offers traditional Thai dishes. Walking through the door of Arawan Thai Cuisine, one feels as if entering into the Thai world. There’s an authentic, busy, open kitchen with a full staff of cooks from Thailand waiting to prepare all your favorite items from Pat Thai to Curry. The recipes are prepared with only the freshest ingredients and adhere to Thai tradition. All their meals are served "Family Style"
The dining room sparkles with atmosphere, the high ceiling and the bright yellow walls and handsome burgundy furniture create a nice casual atmosphere. You'll be greeted by a gracious staff who will show you to a table and hand you an extensive menu. The food and the delicate aromas wafting through the air from the open kitchen will whet your appetite.

Arawan is ideal for a quiet business meal or a get-together with friends.
