Stopped in Beecher's for a quick afternoon snack, and got a takeaway container of their Mac N Cheese. It was creamy and flavorful, but not too rich/heavy. Their cheeses looked good too.

We tried the pumpkin curry, mango salad and green curry - all were full of fresh vegetables, and very flavorful. Elegant interior, warm inviting, fresh flowers on the table, attentive staff.

So why not 5 stars? The spice! Dear god, when I order a "3" on a scale of 1-5, I don't expect to have flames shooting out of my ears.

If you like spice, you'll LOVE Araya! If you don't, ask for a "0". Really, it's for your own good.

We stumbled into this place after finishing the nearby "Underground Tour", absolutely famished.

Longhorn didn't disappoint - my sweetie got a pulled pork sandwich, and my veggie needs were satisfied with molasses-drenched baked beans, cornbread, and tangy coleslaw. I wish we had a Longhorn in the Bay Area!

Staff was super friendly and helpful too.
