Areeya Thai & Noodle

The owner is friendly and generous. She offered us free shrimp crackers. Try their Pad See Ew.

I came back again to this restaurant because the food was good. But the wait for one fries rice is over 30 minutes is what making this experience become ridiculous. If you want food from them my suggestion is to call ahead of time. Even that I think you may still have to wait.

Celiac review- 6/5 stars. ! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
To our server, Joy, THANK YOU! You were so pleasant and radiated so much warmth. When I mentioned I was celiac and had to have gluten free, you helped me make sure my options were available gluten- free. I originally ordered the egg drop soup, and the Pad see ew. She checked so thoroughly, and actually caught that their current wide rice noodle used in the Pad see ew did contain a mix of flour containing wheat. People underestimate how important this sort of information is. She encouraged me to try the Pad- Thai instead. I didn’t even have a moment to be disappointed because she brought out my soup and I was AMAZED. The servings are large, and the presentation is its own star. I’d say the one bowl of soup provided me two cups at the table, and probably three more servings at home.
She also intentionally paced my food so I could enjoy my soup before my dish. The Pad Thai was great as well. The things I’d like to mention is the clear intention in every dish. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the care taken to prepare the food. I got the egg drop soup, and it is just slightly sweet, with fresh snow peas and the chicken pairs perfectly with the soup. My Pad-Thai was sweet and also complex, the fresh notes popped against the sweetness; and nothing felt heavy with oils or other flavors that can come from any kitchen. This food is the type of food you can eat every day of the week, it’s home- style and my husband said ‘it felt like his grandmother was serving him’ because of Joy’s attentiveness to our needs and the warm environment of the restaurant.
Cost is what to be expected, with the above taken into consideration. I’ll always pay for food that I can safely consume as a celiac, and being able to trust this staff, the cook, my server, is well worth the cost. Usually, the trade off is I can either trust a restaurant to make sure I’m safe, but the food often won’t be great/ tends to be bland. To get both amazing food and a dedicated staff? The biggest blessing and gift. So glad we landed here for a random lunch stop, as this will become a staple in our life.

Go here for delicious Thai food. It may smell like a pizza joint (connected to a MOD Pizza) but don't let that fool you, this place is solid. Good lunch specials and decent portions.
Pro tip- when ordering Thai tea, ask for little ice...
