Amazing Thailand is a mainstay of the Uptown area and equally as good a bar as a vegan-friendly Thai restaurant with bold and authentic flavors.
Since moving back to Minneapolis after years of living in LA (Thai Town, specifically), I didn't think Amazing Thailand would hold water, but it does.
All vegan or veganizable items are helpfully labeled on the menu.
I thought the lad nah ($16) was really damn good, with a savory brown sauce and nicely fried tofu. The sauce was a bit more liquid than I'd like, but it still tasted great.
The cashew nut with tofu ($16) tastes pretty good, though some bites had a weird savory undertone that I didn't care for (I think it might have come from brine from the water chestnuts and babycorn).
The Amazing Curry ($16) is one of two vegan curries (the other being the red curry), and features a hefty peanut sauce and lots of broccoli. I came to enjoy this, but it's heavy and the peanut sauce was sweeter than I'd like.
Lastly, the Chinese broccoli with tofu stir-fry ($16) hit the spot.
The service is friendly and fast and the space is inviting, casual and good for groups. My biggest gripe is that even now, 10 years after I first started eating here, they still don't offer brown rice.
Come to Amazing Thailand for a nice Thai dish, a beer and fun conversation.
