I 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 important: good vibes.

This was a cozy little Thai food place we dined at on our way home from shopping. It is a small place, can seat probably four families at one time but very clean and tidy. The hosts were friendly. One thing I liked about the place was the brilliant service, the hosts appearing precisely at the right times and giving us absolute privacy otherwise. The food was nice too. I absolutely loved the place!

A nice halal Thai place. The owner, Harun is very friendly and grew up in Thailand, so the food is very authentic. The food is very fresh and very flavorful. The portions are pretty decent too. We had the drunken noodles, the pad Thai, chicken satay, Thai wings and mango sticky rice. Overall a very great experience and would highly recommend it.

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 for all meals.

We enjoyed our meal. Very quiet restaurant. We were the only group dining but there were a few customers picking up their takeout orders. Everything we ordered was prepared well and tasted great. Will definitely visit again.

First time tried Thai food and encouraged to try more places. Good place to start my quest.
Tried drunken noodles and Thai ice tea. It was tasty and looked healthy. It matched my Indian taste. Thai tea was awesome. Hot sauce was good. I will definitely visit the place again to try more items.
I learned the place was family owned before and recently sold to a other owner…the crew was welcoming and quick. The place was clean and seats were available. However parking was limited.

My manager and I decided to get thai for lunch and tried this spot. When we arrived I parked on the street nearby and walked into this cute restaurant. There was no air conditioner fyi. We sat by the window and was served by one of the owners. He was very nice. For appetizers we got the coconut shrimp which was good. For my meal I got the fried red snapper and rice. When it came out it looked so good. I dug in and it was very good. The sweet chili pepper on top of the snapper was nice and spicy. My manager had the chicken pad thai and he enjoyed his meal. We had a good experience.

Really good Thai in Carlstadt!
It’s… in a house? There’s a really pleasant vibe in this place. Nice open space. The music is low and soft. The staff is friendly and hospitable.
Also, never had a vegetable soup like this at a Thai place but it was delicious. Almost similar broth taste to the Tom yum (red) soup. But not spicy at all and had bits of tofu.
The Thai iced tea was served in huge glasses.
And the beef pad Thai tasted better than it looks in the pic.
Will definitely come back here.
