Ayara Thai - Thai restaurant in Los Angeles - 6245 W 87th St, USA

I found Araya Thai after quick Google of Thai restaurants near LAX airport and reading the reviews. The prior reviewers did a good just with the details and influenced which dishes I would order. The ambiance in the restaurant was welcoming and the service was really good. I was there on a Wednesday evening so it was busy but I did not have to wait long for my food. I had the shrimp Pad Thai for my entree and steak with lettuce for my appetizer. The spring rolls and fresh coconut water was also very good and refreshing. I would definitely visit again and try more of their dishes when I visit LA again.

What a lovely place. I was in the area for the day and I was looking for a place to get some Thai food. I found this place on Google Maps and I just went cuz the reviews and the pictures look good. And of course, after I had it, it tasted like home. Sorry I didn’t mention the fact that I’m from Thailand, lol. The girl (Ploy) who helped me with my order was so sweet! I ordered a Cha Ma Nao and PadThai…Mmmm scrumptious! (There should be Chinese chives in PadThai, not green onions and “they sure do it right!!”). While I was eating and enjoying the weather outside, Ploy came out with a sealed paper bag saying it’s a dessert for me from the owner. I was touched, how generous and kind is that! It’s Thai Tea Flan btw, and yes it was very good! I’d love to come back and try other dishes at some point. Thank you so much for such a pleasant experience. 🙏🏼☺️❤️

Great taste and price!! Lunch menu comes with 1 entree and 1 appetizer, with 1 drink and $20. Dining room is available 5-9pm. Out door patio area has 7 tables. 22 chairs total. Wait time was about 25 mins after ordering.

Great spot near LAX. Don’t go without reservation! Lots of vegetarian options, food is great. I would recommend their curries and noodles.

Best Thai food I ever had so far. Didn’t expect that good in LA. Beautiful ambience and friendly staff. Gets crowded so you need to book advance or wait 30-45 mins outside.

So good! It was so busy and for good reason. Each dish we had was so good. I bet everything on the menu is good. I've also got food to go and that was even good after traveling home with it. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes. If its the weekend, I recommend making a reservation if you can or come in and expect to put your name down on the waiting list. The restaurant itself is small but it's worth the wait. 10/10 would recommend.

I got the lunch special with wings, fried rice, and Thai iced tea. The food came out in 20 min. It was piping hot, cooked perfectly, and packed with value for the price. The Thai soy sauce and chili fish sauce were great with the fried rice. All in all, perfect meal for the price point. Only criticism is that they don’t open the indoor dining room for lunch. The outdoor area was dirty and not adequately maintained.

Service was great & food was good but the Pad Woon Sen was a bit dry and needed more flavor. The chicken sate was great! I recommend this place & order the Pad Thai next time.
