Awesome experience at Areena. This was just a quick brunch with the family and it was a fantastic experience. What a brilliant idea. A house basically turned into a restaurant. Our server was amazing, and so polite. You can tell that this was a family business and it was a brilliant thing to experience. The decor was very simple yet tasteful and the ambiance was delightful as well.
Food: Pad Thai Noodles with beef - 9/10 - This was a delicious meal. Absolutely well cooked noodles with some vegetables and thingy sliced beef. Often Pad Thai is over cooked and soggy or too much soy sauce. The taste here however was perfect. Not too salty not overcooked at all. The only issue I had was the peanuts. It was a bit overwhelming but it didn’t damage the meal at all maybe just reduce the crushed peanut a bit.
A fantastic experience. As I was being careful not to overeat I ended up taking the food home to finish later. Overall this is a very nice place to dine, seats about 20 people. They have pickup available. I would recommend that you go early in the day just incase it gets busy in if you have a larger group. I quite enjoyed my time here.
Total Spent was about $95...
Read moreI have been coming to Areena Thai Cuisine for about a year now, and I must say, every visit is better than the last. With the new location, I figured it was time to leave a review. Firstly, the establishment including the bathrooms are extremely clean, tidy, and the restaurant has a nice, homey, welcoming vibe and atmosphere. The owner, is kind and greets all of his customers also giving recommendations on what to try if you have never been. The waiters are also friendly and accommodating and I have never had a bad experience on that end. The food itself is delicious. I have not had much experience with Thai Cuisine to be honest, but from the places I have been, this definitely ranks supreme. I would highly recommend the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and the Thai Iced Tea. Also, worthy of note is that the food is certified halal. Overall, I would highly encourage and recommend giving this establishment a chance, as we need more small restaurants offering not just good food, but equally as...
Read moreWe had gone for dinner on a Saturday night around 7:30. The tables hadn't been cleared and they had a backlog, it seems. Essentially, I had gone with 2 little kids, the food took a long time to come out and eventually we were told we would not get our soup or salad as there was a backlog. It seemed like there were only 3 people working there, and I can appreciate a family business but when people come to eat and they have nowhere to sit or have to wait a long while for food, and get told eventually that their food will not arrive, there is most definitely some management issues. We were apologized to repeatedly and told that they were not expecting so many people. One of the people in our party has also been experiencing cramps for the last 36 hrs. While we were there, the restaurant filled with many more customers with little to no attendance. As for the food, while decent I have had better. Avoid the khao soi , it is awful. Bangladeshis make better khao...
