Las
Vegas
is
a
special
place.
Tons
of
lights,
loud
music,
beautiful
people,
and
wonderful
food.
After
spending
$27
each
on
a
red
bull
vodka
the
night
before
my
group
of
12
needed
something
special,
to
be
reminded
of
what
Vegas
has
to
offer,
off-strip.
That's
when
we
ventured
to
Arawan
Thai,
a
small,
unassuming
Thai
restaurant
that
punches
way
above
its
weight
(also
way
cheaper
than
the
strip!!!)
A
few
highlights
from
our
marvelous
meal:
1.
The
ahi
tuna
larb
is
an
incredible
spin
on
the
traditional
Thai
larb
salad,
made
with
wonderfully
fresh
tuna,
bright
lime
and
cilantro,
and
fresh
onions
and
mint.
Definitely
recommend.
2.
All
of
the
curry
dishes
were
spectacular.
Massaman
curry
was
sweet
and
not
too
spicy
and
the
fatty
short
rib
was
a
great
complement
to
the
curry.
The
green
curry
was
spicier,
less
sweet
but
full
of
veggies.
The
yellow
curry
was
on
point
too
--
not
too
spicy
not
too
sweet.
3.
The
Arawan
pad
Thai
was
special
--
sweet
and
savory,
fish
sauce,
lime
juice,
tender
pieces
of
chicken
and
shrimp.
The
egg
lattice
on
top
was
a
great
addition
as
well.
4.
OMG
that
Thai
steak
salad
with
fresh
mint
😩
it
was
so
fresh,
zingy
and
bright.
The
dressing
cut
straight
through
the
steak's
fat
with
was
perfectly
medium
rare.
Get
this
please.
5.
If
you're
wondering
whether
it's
worth
getting
the
whole
that
catfish...do
yourself
a
favor
and
do
it.
The
outside
was
insanely
crispy
but
the
inside
was
so
soft
and
tender.
None
of
the
slimey
taste
that
sometimes
accompanies
poorly
cooked
catfish.
The
empty
plate
shows
that
we
really
enjoyed
that
fish...
This
was
a
lot
of
food!
You'd
expect
us
to
have
been
done
right?
WRONG!
We
also
got
all
of
the
desserts
on
the
menu
and
honestly,
that
was
a
wonderful
decision.
The
coconut
ice
cream,
outstanding.
The
banana
crepe
was
shockingly
complex,
gooey,
soft,
sweet,
crispy
and
complemented
by
the
Thai
iced
tea
ice
cream.
The
coconut
rice
and
mango
was
not
too
sweet,
and
absolutely
wonderful.
The
mango
ice
cream
was
absolutely
the
best
sorbet
that
I've
ever
had.
This
is
NOT
an
exaggeration.
After
getting
our
check
(and
ceremoniously
clapping
for
and
celebrating
the
chefs),
we
got
four
FREE
freshly
made
panna
cotta
with
mango
sauce.
The
pastry
chef
was
literally
just
testing
a
new
dessert,
and
it
was
absolutely
perfect.
The
Panna
Cotta
was
not
too
sweet
and
stood
up
well
to
the
tart
mango
sauce.
If
you
are
visiting
Vegas,
you
MUST
try
this
place.
You
will
NOT
be
disappointed.
Our
trip
involved
laughs,
hugs,
smiles,
tears,
and
lifelong
memories.
Don't
settle
for
bad
food,
especially
when
places
like
Arawan
exist
to
make
incredible
food
experiences
available,
just
off
the
Vegas
strip.
Happy
Eating.
