Areena Thai Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
Great food. I was initially skeptical because the restaurant was empty. But the food was great. Will definitely return.
Delicious! Lots of vegetarian options. I had the pad se ew with tofu and I loved it. My friend had the fried rice with beef and he loved it. The soup and spring roll that came with the lunch were also great. Some people might find the soup too spicy, but we loved it.
My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday by taking me here. We had a reservation but, the restaurant was empty of customers when we arrived. We were seated by the window of this adorable restaurant. We started with our favorite, fried calamari and steamed mussels. This calamari was much different than what I'm used to as it was fried to crispy perfection and tossed in a sweet sauce. I prefer a softer fried calamari but, enjoyed this method as a new option. The steamed mussels were a nice bonus. We both ordered Pad Thai and my boyfriend also ordered Thai Iced Tea. The Pad Thai was light and flavorful and there was more than enough leftover to take home. If you posted a photo on Instagram and tagged them, they gave you a complimentary Thai Iced Tea. Their Thai Iced Tea was delicious, I enjoyed their blend a lot more than the one from Thai Essence. Overall, I loved the feel of this little restaurant and would go back more often if it were local to me.
The best local place for Thai food hands down! Every time I've been here, no matter what I have ordered, I've always been so happy with my food and the owner and servers are so sweet. They have a lot discount offers as well, so you can easily save a few bucks but still receive amazing, quality food. I recommend the pineapple fried rice, probably my favorite thing on the menu. My family LOVES the coconut shrimp and fried dumplings as well. They have a great range of entrees too, from amazing curry to sweet and savory pad Thai dishes. You can choose from different meats, veggies, or even tofu to come in your entree, so this place is definitely vegetarian and vegan friendly! The overall design of the interior and ambience is so calming, and the food is always phenomenal. Don't forget to BYOB!
Cute place, lovely decor and good Thai food. Ordered the Thai basil fried rice and Spicy drunken noodles !
