Arawan Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Sausalito

Ordered takeout, only reviewing the food.

Look, I know ingredient costs are up but there's absolutely no excuse to scam customers. So disappointed in the food here - ordered one of their seafood specials, Prawn Lost In The Woods - compare the description to what I got. No black wood ear mushrooms, only a couple of sad button mushrooms, not a snow pea in sight, broccoli and parsley and heaps of bamboo. It was sitting in flavorless water, not a hint of oyster sauce. Even dumping sriracha in there did nothing. The shrimp had a tough, rubbery, overcooked texture. If they didn't have half the ingredients, don't offer the dish, or at least let me know so I could order something they have. I literally could have scraped this dish together myself from Costco frozen broccoli I had in the freezer where I'm staying.

My co-diner got Pad See Ew, again devoid of any kind of flavor, no gai lan that characterizes this dish or even spinach to imitate it, just the same frozen broccoli and carrots. I found big rice noodles still folded up as they were in the package, untouched by any of the tasteless sauce! This is just plain lack of the most minimal cooking effort.

The Imperial roll appetizer was a decently filling pork meat roll, though with no evidence of shrimp or taro. We expected the mun tod to be like tempura or pakoras, but got soggy and unappetizing battered fries - this may have been from sitting in the box waiting for takeout, but nothing else has an excuse for such watered-down, bland flavor.

We were hungry having missed lunch while hiking all day so we ate some of this, but it was the worst meal I've had in weeks, and I would never have accepted food missing most of the menu ingredients if it were brought to my table. The best that can be said for it is that we didn't immediately fall...

This is the place to go if you arrive to Sausalito, and you find out that in your casual attire, you cannot enter any other eatery. We have tried the tea leaf salad - never had something like that. We also tried the sizzling eel sizzling, delicious. I also ordered the ginger tea, this one was on the sweet side. The service was pretty fast. One of the servers told us they had been around for a long time: 10 to 15 years! Incredible... As for the patrons, it seems that this place draws everyone who is not dressed to enter any other restaurants in the area. This time, it...

The experience at Arawan Thai Cuisine left me underwhelmed.

Pad Thai: Unfortunately, the pad Thai was disappointing. It lacked flavor and tasted super bland, which made it far from enjoyable.

Service: The service was below expectations. The staff wasn’t very helpful, and it felt like they weren’t particularly attentive or engaged.

Ambience: The ambience was decent, offering a fair level of comfort, though nothing particularly memorable or noteworthy.

Arawan Thai Cuisine didn’t quite meet the mark for me, both in terms of food...
