Reviews for Areena Thai Cuisine in Carlstadt, NJ

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. Read more

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 definitelyvisit the place again to try more items. I learned the place was family owned before and recently sold to a other owner...thecrew was welcoming and quick. The place was clean and seats were available. However parking was limited. Read more

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 wasvery nice. For appetizers we got the coconut shrimp which was good. For my meal I got the fried red snapper and rice. When itcame 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. Mymanager had the chicken pad thai and he enjoyed his meal. We had a good experience. Read more

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, Thaiwings and mango sticky rice. Overall a very great experience and would highly recommend it. Read more

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 wasdelicious. Almost similar broth taste to the Tom yum (red) soup. But not spicy at all and had bits of tofu. The Thai iced teawas served in huge glasses. And the beef pad Thai tasted better than it looks in the pic. ???? Will definitely come back here. Read more

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 familybusiness and it was a brilliant thing to experience. The decor was very simple yet tasteful and the ambiance was delightful aswell. Food: Pad Thai Noodles with beef - 9/10 - This was a delicious meal. Absolutely well cooked noodles with some vegetablesand thingy sliced beef. Often Pad Thai is over cooked and soggy or too much soy sauce. The taste here however was perfect. Nottoo salty not overcooked at all. The only issue I had was the peanuts. It was a bit overwhelming but it didn?t damage the mealat all maybe just reduce the crushed peanut a bit. A fantastic experience. As I was being careful not to overeat I ended uptaking the food home to finish later. Overall this is a very nice place to dine, seats about 20 people. They have pickupavailable. I would recommend that you go early in the day just incase it gets busy in if you have a larger group. I quiteenjoyed my time here. Total Spent was about $95 for all meals.

Areena Thai is a cute and welcoming restaurant on the edge of Carlstadt. Here you'll find wonderful lunch specials and a... friendly staff. The restaurant is byob. Unlike other Thai restaurants, Areena gives you 4 spring rolls in the appetizer ratherthan only 2. And they are delish!! We started with those and a papaya salad, and ordered two different types of curry as ourentree. Red with tofu, and massaman with veggies. The curry servings were huge and filled with flavor. Thank you to the ownerand waiter who held a great conversation and helped in explaining the menu. See you again soon! Read more

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 brilliantservice, the hosts appearing precisely at the right times and giving us absolute privacy otherwise. The food was nice too. Iabsolutely loved the place! Read more
