Araya's Place, the University District Thai vegan mainstay, has come to Bellevue on Bellevue Way. Araya's Place offers Thai appetizers such as satays made of tofu or vegetables and spring rolls, salads, and meatless soups, entrees and noodles -- including pad thai.
For dessert you can pick up a vegan pastry, such as vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies or cakes in exotic flavors such as jasmine or banana chai.
Araya's offers a vegan lunch buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
