Meet Ronnavit Varin: Owner of Arize Bistro

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ronnavit Varin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ronnavit, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is my goodwill toward my customers and the community. In my opinion, for a business to be successful, the business owner(s) must think like they are the customers, and try their best to provide the feeling of satisfaction to customers.

What should our readers know about your business?
Ofcourse, It’s not easy to get to where we are today. There are alot of challenges we had to face. there were times when we had to close down to rethink and make changes to the original plans. For examples: 1. Our building is a historic building, so we couldn’t do any construction, and there’s no gas, so we have to cook all our dishes with just electric; because of that reason, it takes longer for us to cook, and we are also limited to certain type of foods. 2. There are a lot of breakfast restaurants in area, so in order to be the best and stay top, you have to always maintain high standard, and always keep up with the food trends. 3. Pandemic is a killer, our business is located in a tourist spot, and were heavily relied on tourist supports; so without any tourist traffics due to the government’s pandemic protocols, we were heavily damaged. I think what set us apart from other business is that our chefs/owners love to travel around the world, so we have a wider prospect of foods. and cultures. Our chefs/owners graduated from Le cordon bleu and Dusit Thani Culinary Art of Thailand; and they are currently own a Sushi restaurant and a Vegan restaurant, so they are skilled in Thai, Japanese, American, European, and Vegan cuisines But good foods alone won’t make the business successful, a good customer relationship is also a must. Here at Arize Bistro, we’re passionately treating everyone like family; we’re always listening, and always trying fulfil the heart of all our customers. It’s either you’re happy with us or you’re money back.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First, I have to take them to my restaurant lol, well, you have to start your day with the best breakfast in town right? lol. Then, depending on their personalities, I would either take them shopping at the outlets, or sightseeing the beaches, like El Matador Beach, grab some fresh seafood along the way. Maybe, drive down to San Diego for a day at Sea World, and a quick gambling at Pala casio. I will also take them to Awesome Sushi, and Noshi sushi for a meal or two, one of the best Japanese restaurants in town. If time permits, i might drive them to Las Vegas for a night. Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout to my customers, the neighbor businesses, social media influencers, and my business partners. Without their helping hands, Arize Bistro wouldn’t be where it’s at today.
