2. Araya's Place

Araya's Place opened in 1987 as the first ever vegan-Thai restaurant in the northwest. Since then, the local community has fallen in love with this family-owned and operated restaurant, which serves up delicious Thai dishes with produce sourced primarily from local farms. Although Araya's has a strong ala carte menu, what really draws people to its doors are its popular daily lunch buffets with tasty offerings like pot stickers, noodles, fried rice, and curries. Definitely not a bad deal considering you can eat as much as you want for just $11. Thanks to the popularity of their flagship location in the University District, Araya's has opened a second spot in Madison Valley and even has a location in Los Angeles.
