Ayara Thai Ayara Thai Cuisine offers a taste of authentic Thai food where quality is never compromised by price
(879)

Ayara Thai continues the tradition of crafting delicious home-cooked food for those dining out. Since Ayara Thai’s opening day, head chef Anna has used home-grown herbs in the restaurant’s dishes. Reflecting both the dishes she ate in the past, as well as her family’s values in sustainable dining, she ensures that all dishes are inspired by and prepared with only the freshest ingredients that the season has to offer. Today, Anna and her husband Andy's family traditions are continued and developed into the third generation, through their daughter Vanda. Living and working in Thailand for four years has allowed Vanda to revive old family recipes, and discover new tastes and inspirations. After cooking with relatives and eating her way through the streets and countryside, it is these old recipes and new flavors that Vanda brings back to share at Ayara Thai.

Thank you, Daniel Michael Hernández 🌞 ✍🏽, for highlighting our little corner of the map, just 2 even miles from one of the busiest airports in the world! We love our regulars as much as our travelers, and the real treat is getting to convert travelers to regulars when they visit us on future journeys (even when those “travelers” are still coming from the TMZ 😆). ⁠

Not your mom’s khao soi . . . . It’s ours. We 💚 you, Mom! ⁠
⁠
And we believed in this dish so much that we we brought it back to the American dinner table years after you’d tried so hard to introduce locals to something they weren’t familiar with before. You had a vision for one day when most people would recognize and love this the way we do! (And girl, do they). ⁠
⁠
“. . . Anna’s recipe for khao soi endures as the marquee dish [of Ayara Thai]. Khao soi seems to have become nearly as popular in Los Angeles as pad Thai. This one is quintessential: chicken drumsticks braised in silky coconut milk infused with lemongrass and other piercing aromatics, poured over egg noodles, sharpened with shallots and pickled mustard greens and garnished with lime and a thatch of fried noodles.” –Bill Addison, LA Times Food Critic

And just in time for Thailand’s Vegetarian Festival, celebrated October 10th–18th, we’re breaking down how we’re using tofu across our menu. During this week+ run, the Buddhist and Taoist tradition is to partake in the plant-based Jay diet, abstaining from animal products and focusing on physical and mental purification. ⁠
⁠
And our vegetarian and vegan friends can rejoice: plenty of our dishes are VG-friendly and are marked with an easy-to-follow key on our menus. 😋

One thing you never want to do is disappoint your mom...and for a long time that’s just what the egg photo on our ordering sites did. Mama was not impressed and so, once and for all, : we upgraded our Thai fried egg pic. (← Swipe for the before, Mama told no lies. 🙈)⁠

She is beauty, she is grace, she is extra golden, she is even reflective. And we have a feeling this one’s gonna sell itself. 🍳
