The all-you-can-eat buffet certainly isn’t as prominent as it was two years ago. Fortunately, they still exist, and for those who enjoy a wide variety of tasty options (and multiple trips through the food line), a delicious buffet lunch is as good as it gets.

Admittedly, the quality of the food at a buffet is sometimes questionable—but that’s definitely not the case at Araya’s Place. Not only does this family-owned eatery serve some of the best Thai food in the state, but at lunchtime, you can enjoy as much as you’d like for one low price.

While the lunch buffet is on a temporary hiatus due to current conditions, the owners will bring it back as soon as possible. In the meantime, they are offering some seriously tempting lunch combo specials to tide you over.

Araya's Place has been around since 1987.

There are now three locations, two in Seattle and one in Bellevue. They're all owned by the same family.
Araya is the name of the family matriarch. The restaurant was named after her because she traveled the world and developed a passion for good food.

Araya believed that, while the quality of ingredients matters, it's the right company that turns good food into great food. This was a belief she instilled in her children.
The food at Araya's isn't your typical Thai food. For one, it's entirely vegan.

While traditional Thai food does have a lot of vegan options, at Araya's Place, the menu has been modified so that everything is plant-based. The quality of the vegetables is also exceptional.
