Coconut Thai on Grand

Amazing Thai food! Everything comes hot and the portions are huge and totally worth it. Inside it’s clean, modern and a large space. We didn’t have a reservation for a Friday night but were able to get seated right away. I started with a Thai iced tea and we (party of 3) shared the chicken satay as a starter. The iced tea was perfectly sweet and the satay, which comes with 4 pieces was delicious. For my entree I got the pad see yew with chicken. They have a spice scale from 1-5 with 5 being Thai spicy. I ordered a level 4 and thought it was the perfect amount of spice, but I usually handle spice well. The portion was big enough that I had plenty to take home. Our waiter was very friendly and checked on us often. There’s street parking right on grand Ave or any of the neighborhood streets. Overall an amazing dinner and I definitely see myself coming back!

We went to Coconut Thai for the second time. This time the food was more spicy for some reason. Our server was trying to do his best as the restaurant was very busy. The quantity is large and generous. Tom Yum soup was excellent!

Had a very nice lunch here with my cousin. The food is quite authentic. Had spring rolls, Pad Thai, and Laab. I was so excited they had chicken Laab, most places just have pork. You can even get tofu Laab here. The spring rolls had rather a lot of lettuce but very fresh. My cousin and I hadn't seen each other in a long time, so we were there quite awhile. Staff was very patient with us, though did not offer us any refill on water 😆

Our server was incredibly nice and accommodating. He helped us with menu and had a big smile. We felt very welcome. Food was incredible! Get here fast

Amazing place! I definitely recommend the fresh Thai spring rolls, satay and pad Thai! Plenty of delicious food for the price!

Amazing place! I had pad thai and it was delicious. I had hot level 4 out of five and it was perfect for me. My husband had pineapple fried rice and he loved it. But! The star of the day was fried banana with coconut ice cream. I don’t know when was the last time we enjoyed a dessert this much! It was so so good. Highly recommend!

We have been searching for a new Thai place since Supatra's closed AND FINALLY FOUND IT! We tried several menu items and everything was as good as we remembered Supatra's being. Most of the menu - even fried rice - is gluten free or available gluten free. We weren't sure if the St Paul location was open for in person dining based on confusing info online - come on in, it's open and service is quick. We are going home giddy having found our Supatra's replacement and with a feast of leftovers!

The food, Drunken Noodles and the Pineapple Stir Fry Rice, was great! The spice levels of the food were less intense than other Thai places- meaning on the scale of 1-5 they have, if you get a 4 here it will equate to about a 2 or 3 spice level at another Thai restaurant. Their Thai Tea with coconut milk (replaced for normal milk) was very good but also very sweet! Also, the service was clearly short staffed but though that, the food came out pretty fast. The server was okay but I would've appericated a better attitude. Finally, the atmosphere was very nice and clean 👌🏼

We went back again last night for one final try here. But once again, the curry dishes had the tails on the shrimp. Not only were the shrimp very small, slightly overcooked, and very weak in comparison to other Thai restaurants in the area like Pad Thai, but they (still!) have the tails on the shrimp! There's almost nothing more unpleasant when you're trying to eat a bowl of shrimp curry than to have to pull every single tail off of each shrimp in the dish. It makes a huge mess, it's totally unnecessary, and it makes me never want to come to the restaurant ever again. I don't know why they wouldn't finish cleaning the shrimp in the kitchen. As I've noted previously, they do remove the feathers from the chicken, and the fur from the beef. But I don't know why they leave the tails on the shrimp? It's a horrendous experience and I will never come here ever again.

I like the food here, we ordered pad Thai and tong ka. We asked their spice level and the server described they are Asian level spice so I ordered 3, but they are still pretty mild to our liking. I asked for a side of hot sauce and it never arrived. The server also never refilled our water and therefore taking off one star. we arrived around 11 AM on a Friday, the restaurant is not very busy, I would say about 4 group of guests. The tastes of the food was very good. The Tom Kah soup was very delicious. Creamy and thick. I love the mushroom and the amount given was very generous. Definitely is the highlight of the meal for me. The portion of each plate is very big, we definitely have lots of leftovers. We overall enjoyed the food and their flavors.

My friend raved about this place and honestly I was underwhelmed. Wings - large and battered - different spin on wings but it was alright. Egg Rolls - They were good, probably one of the best things here! Fried Rice - Decent, had the chicken fried rice, should have went for the vegetable fried rice. Pad Thai - overly sweet, no one liked this, considered rinsing it off to help with the sweetness. But it just wasn't palatable. Drunken Noodles - Nothing to rave about here. The ambiance of this place was okay Service was not good, when we arrived there were barely people there and it took them forever to take our order. Also, what is up with the $3 charges for the meat?? There were $12 in extra charges for all of the chicken! Not the best experience..

Amazing Thai food! Our waitress was very pleasant and our waters were refilled often. I had red curry with chicken at a medium spice level. It definitely had some heat but had great flavor. Will definitely be back for more Thai food!

Parking was limited, for some reason, I couldn't find the lot that people were writing about in the back but I was able to find street parking after a few minutes. We got huge portions of food, which definitely made us happy. We both ordered our own chicken satay dish, and the chicken was pretty meaty. He had the Tom Kha soup and we thought it would be a bowl but not a ginormous bowl that we got. Overall, everything was good including the quality. The service was excellent, they took our order and our food came out relatively quickly.

Coconut Thai looks unassuming on the outside but inside you're met with a lively atmosphere and great food (not to mention massive portions). I got the young ginger stir fry with chicken which comes with a heaping side of jasmine rice and my partner got the pad thai with tofu. We both loved our meals and had no edits. The spiciness levels are true to scale so don't be shy. We ordered the stir fry at a spiciness of 1 out of 5 fearing that these scale would be pretty intense (it was not) and while tasty, more spice would have been fine. The pad thai was a 3 out of 5 and only marginally more spicy than the 1. The service was great. We received our food very quickly and the staff was eager to help. Great restaurant. Will definitely go back!

It's a very modern interior! Kind of surprising because Thai places can sometimes be a bit dingy. The menu is significantly smaller than normal Thai restaurants. There's not hundreds of items... which I actually appreciate! The presentation for the Pineapple fried rice might be the best I've ever seen... it's actually served in the pineapple! The stir fry was very green and vibrant. You can tell the vegetables were fresh! The green curry was a little too sweet and creamy for my liking. The mango sticky rice is a Thai staple, and this one was absolutely delicious. Perfectly ripe s!

I typically frequent the Coconut Thai in Edina, but I was closer to this area so St. Paul it was. Panang Curry - the curry was actually delicious. Unfortunately, someone either spilt half of its contents prior to packaging it up for me, or they deliberately filled the container less than halfway. I don't know which is worse. Veggie Egg Rolls - good I had an issue with customer service at this location which left a bad taste in my mouth. I will stick to my normal location, where I'm more familiar with their brand of bad service.

We walked in Friday night without a reservation. They were busy but very accommodating. Our waiter was very helpful and the food was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try something else. The drunken noodles were excellent. Spicy!!

This place was really really good. Their food is very fresh and the portions were very generous. The ambience is casual but a bit refined. The server was very attentive and friendly. The wonton soup and curry was delicious. I would definitely go back again.

We do take out due to my heath concerns. It is very good! It reminds us if our favorite Thai place in Denver.

The food was okay but anytime I go to a restaurant without n.a. Beer or wine it would have to be pretty great to get more than a couple of stars.

Clean, modern, spacious and inviting restaurant located right on the strip with nearby parking. Food came out hot, fresh and beautifully plated. The dishes were really well seasoned. I will definitely be back!! Great menu and overall nice service!

I think this place is great! Was very pleased with the Tom kha soup, I love the chicken satay here, and we have had good luck with the different curries as well. also fast and very competent with takeout food. A great neighborhood go to and a very pretty ambience inside the restaurant.

The service here is awesome as per usual. Pam is so sweet and so efficient. The food is so yummy, we had the crab fried rice and they put a good amount of crab and egg in the fried rice. The Thai tea and iced coffee are also superb here! Coming back again and again.

Great food!!! The Thai Fried Rice is the best in the Twin Cities! Pineapple Curry was wonderful! We highly recommend!

We went to coconut Thai for a friends birthday last night. There was a 45 minute wait when we got there at 6:50 pm and it was packed until about 8 pm. After we got seated the service was a little slow with how busy it was and how many to go orders they were working on. For an appetizer we got edamame and gyoza. I have celiac and could only eat the edamame but it was good. Almost all of their menu was gluten free. For a meal I got the Chicken Pad Thai that was a ton of food for 16 dollars and I had a lot of leftover. Overall the meal was well priced but the service was a little slow. I would still come back and try more things on their menu!

Was in St Paul and love their Edina location so decided to try to his one! We came for lunch on the weekend. Surprised that the lunch menu wasn't offered on the weekends. However, the menu is pretty much the exact same as the Edina location. Restaurant is fairly large but has a lack of parking- only street parking on Grand or side roads. Decided to go with their wontons, pad Thai and basil fried rice. Wontons were good- sauce was interesting. Definitely would go again for their pad Thai. Flavorful! Disappointed with their fried rice- love it at the Edina location, but this location it was extremely try and flavorless. Would be interested in trying their stirfrys and curries when we return. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

Food was excellent. Was there with friend for dinner. Both of us said food was great. Prices very fair. Everything available as vegetarian option, love that. Friend had calamari stir fry. Also choice of how spicy. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. Only downside, decor and ambiance pretty generic. Also not a good place for drinks (alcohol).

Really delicious Thai food! We also ordered the Tom Yum Soup and a few other dishes. Will be going back for sure!

Ordered our meal choices to go-there is parking behind the building! Had a lot of different entrees (whole family) and everyone was satisfied. I didn't get the warm welcome that we usually experience at the Edina location but we were just there to pickup our food. Good Thai cuisine, not the least expensive in the are-but everyone in our family like their food.

Food was really good. Came out quickly and was very tasty. Enjoyed very much. We had the fresh spring rolls, and cream cheese wantons for starters. The wantons are very small. You get six, but very small. Entrees were the pineapple curry and the squash curry. Both delicious.

Fantastic. A weekday lunch visit - we both had the green curry with tofu and it was so very good. Service was fast and efficient. I'm getting old, so all the hard surfaces make the space a bit cavernous and echo-y, but other than that it was a fantastic experience and I will be back!

I have been twice now and have really enjoyed the food both times! They were pretty short staffed and only had one hostess and one waitress for a Sunday evening. Even with that, the food came out relatively quickly. I this is definitely not your hole in the wall type place - most of the entrées are over $15 if you're getting meat.

I'm extremely picky with my pad Thai but this place did pretty well in my opinion! It was a little too salty and missing a good tang that I think usually comes from tamarind. But super solid option! Cream cheese wontons also surprised me because of the sauce they came with. The sauce was on the sweeter side and I think used some cinnamon or nutmeg. Amazing! There's some parking in the back but it's limited so if you can I would just do street parking

Huge portions, great and fast service, delicious and authentic Thai, casual ambiance but upscale presentation. We are fans!

Stop EVERYTHING ‼ Go here‼ Ok first of this place is very well done and super cute. But more than that. THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC ‼‼‼ We had various appetizers and pineapple fried rice... Chicken Satay lite curry perfection! Pork spring rolls nice and fresh Pork and veggie egg rolls lite, crispy Pineapple Fried rice mind blowing I'm not kidding when I say this all was so fresh, great dipping sauces and that pineapple friend rice served in a pineapple was perfection ‼

Fresh, well prepared tasty food. Cleam space, good service..our go to Thai.. excellent selection of vegetarian dishes. We like the service Always very busy

The food here is pretty good and with generous portions. I highly recommend the curries. Service was decent. The only thing I don't like here is the interior design, but that has little impact on my experience here.

This was my first experience at Coconut Thai and I was craving my favorite dish: kabocha squash curry with chicken. Which is actually harder to find around the TC than I thought it would be; many Thai restaurants don't offer it. I love that this restaurant makes the environmental and financial commitment to provide nearly ALL compostable containers (I don't think the tiny sweet and sour sauce container was compostable). The kabocha squash curry with chicken is unbelievably flavorful. The perfect blend of spices and coconut milk. With huge pieces of squash and generous amounts of chicken and vegetables. The medium-spicy level had a tiny kick to it. I tried their cream cheese wontons and they are very good. I can't wait to go back with other people so that I can try more of their dishes.

Overall, very good Thai in the city. Takeout is easy though no delivery option (at least via yelp) might be inconvenient for some. Plenty of options and the standard fare for Thai/SE Asian cuisine so you can't go too far afield. Ordered the crab fried rice and the curry fried rice. The curry fried rice was an impulse swapout for the thai fried rice (which looks pretty good, if conventional - so a solid starting point if you're new to Thai or looking to leave a general restaurant review haha). Being takeout, my enjoyment reflects on food that can be eaten 1ish hours after cooking and it's leftover potential. Fried rices are good for that, and both of these held up. Crab fried rice was a bit dry, perhaps as a result of being takeout, but on reheat/rebake with a dab of oil and water it was fine as leftovers. AND to put any doubts to rest, the rice contains crab claws just to drive home that yes, you got real crab meat. If it was slightly less dry on first tasting it'd have been perfect, but I was happy generally. Curry fried rice was eaten as leftovers, and I took the lesson from the crab fried rice and started with reheating in a pot with oil. It was similarly tasty as a leftover, holding up very well after 2 days in the fridge. The curry was a nice and first-time-for-me variation on the theme. Not a whole lot of heat, but enough to pass the leftover test. Will pickup-from again.

An outstanding Thai place! I was here with colleagues a couple of months ago to celebrate something, and it was a great time. They had great food, great service, and while the decor is minimalist, it didn't detract from the quality of the experience.

Is ok. Beware of raisins in fried rice. Should be listed. The food wasn't bad, but I wouldn't go again only for the raisins.

Fresh as can be! The Grand Avenue location is slightly hidden (not the greatest signage) but once you discover it, you'll keep coming back. I had my birthday dinner here and I've come back other various times because the Thai food is made fresh and served beautifully. The interior is clean, fun lighting, and they allow reservations. I've also ordered take-out before and the process is seamless. My go- to item is the pineapple fried rice, iced Thai tea, and cream cheese wontons. Note: when you dine in, the pineapple rice is served in a pineapple (so fun) but when you order takeout, no pineapple.

Fresh!!!! This place was great I loved it! Staff were very nice and the restaurant was very clean! We shared some appetizers and everybody got some thing different everything looked amazing and taste amazing! I will be coming back.

We had seen the "Coming Soon!" sign for so long, but the wait was worth it! Our family ordered take out via online and it was so easy. The food was delicious. Put it this way. The husband thinks pad Thai is just "meh." tasting. Not any more. He loved it and has been raving about Coconut Thai to our friends. We ordered: Drunken Noodles Pad Thai Fried Rice Cream Cheese wontons Nice portion size also. So glad it's in our neighborhood in St Paul.

Loved the interior of this Grand Ave spot. Wish I could say more about the food and service. With a vegetarian among our group we chose Coconut Thai for the many vegetarian options. We visited on a Friday night after 7pm. The dining room was fairly empty only two others tables besides ours. Took far too long to order. There were two young men at the hostess station, yet all the work of serving was done by the lone young woman. The curry puff appetizer while tasty, was a bit sweet; was expecting more or a savory taste. The best food of the night was the chicken wing appetizer; hot and crispy and super juicy inside. We had the of Thai and the drunken noodles for our entrees. I will say, the portion was very large and could easily be split. In fact, the table next to us ordered pineapple fried rice and it was served in a half pineapple, lots of foos there! The pad Thai was the tree so the two dishes. The drunken noodles were far too sweet. The bio of the chef was interesting but I wonder if she has altered the recipes to the tastebuds of America. If you are vegan or GF there are many options available.

Stopped in for lunch. Nice little place with great food, friendly service, happy tummy.

Great spot to grab some delicious Thai on Grand Ave! I had the Pad See Yew, it was very tasty and generous portions so I could save some for lunch the next day. Inside is very nice as well!

Really awesome waitress who was so great even though she was so busy. I had super flavorful curry with pineapple and rice. Great place to go!

The best Thai I've ever had. Ambiance is nice, not intimidating and casual. We ordered: - tofu spring rolls: not the best I've had but very refreshing. - pad Thai: had an incredible flavor, some of the best pad Thai I've ever had - pineapple fried rice: I'm speechless. We got it with brown rice and it was amazing! I wish I could eat this every day. You have to come try this place.

I love Thai food and I usually judge a restaurant on its pad thai, and Coconut Thai's is some of the best I've had, as are the fresh spring rolls, which are perfectly balanced with the herbs tasting fresh and not too 'leafy' (I've had a fair amount of bad luck with that at many Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in the cities). I've only had their food twice so I can't vouch for its curries or stir fried dishes, but it all looks pretty solid. I recently moved to St. Paul and this will definitely be a take-out favorite for me. A little pricey, but nothing wild (unless you're ordering through DoorDash). If you like Thai food, I highly recommend giving it a try. I'm excited to have this restaurant in my current rotation and get to try more dishes.

A fantastic addition to the neighborhood. We learned about it after our beloved Supatra Thai closed and former staff moved here and called it out. It doesn't disappoint at all. So fresh, fast and delicious. We had the curry puffs (delicious and different than your typical appetizer) spring rolls (substantial and tasty) and the pad Thai, red curry and drunken noodles. Would order all again. We like spice (not Minnesota spice, actual spice) and "medium" was spicy but not too hot. Definitely check this out!

The ginger stir fry was delicious. On a scale of 1-5 on the spicy scale, the 5 was legit spicy. It wasn't too hot to eat but it had a great kick. The service was good. The staff were very attentive.

I'd say 4.5 stars! Let me tell you why! The online ordering is clutch! Super easy!! And I love the time stamp, where to park, and email! Huge bonus for that! Spring rolls: (regular). Really good, and a different sauce.. not the usual red Thai sweet sauce. Highly recommend! Drunken Noodles: SOOOO fresh! The veggies were perfect! The chicken sliced extra thin... so it was super tender!! The sauce was good, and I'd order again... but I'd try to go with a spice level. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious.. but could have used more zip. Basil fried rice: very very tasty! The shrimp still had tails on, so that was odd to eat. The rice was perfect, lots of shrimp and a nice smooth flavor! I might ask for some spice on this next time as well!!! So.. YES! There will be a next time! With all the choices available... I'd have to say this is one of my favs! The restaurant itself is really cute, and EXTREMELY clean!! Enjoy!! I know you will love it!!

The restaurant looked very promising, very nice interior with a modern look. We had the cream cheese wontons and the fresh spring rolls as appetizers - these were both ok. As main dishes we had the padthai and the pad see ew, good portions and reasonably priced. The Pad Thai was ok but the sauce was overpowered by the peanut flavor. Unfortunately, the Pad See Ew looked much better and more appealing than what it tasted. The tofu was well cooked but not seasoned, the noodles and greens had the right texture but did not have a lot of flavor. I did order the pad see ew mild, and maybe there is more flavor in the spicy ones but this one completely fell flat. I hoped to get more garlic and dark soysauce/oyster sauce punch. The staff was kind, professional and prompt. We did not have to wait long for food. Overall, its a shame that the mains were underwhelming as everything else had great potential.

Awesome food. Quick and friendly service. Beautifully clean dining area,plates,cups, and silverware. Zero unnecessary funk or burnt taste in the food which is very uncommon lately. Highly recommended.

This place makes the best Pad Thai in all of Minnesota. Fresh, delicious, large portions and the staff is friendly and fast. The restaurant is clean and very well put together.

I went in April and loved this place. came back in July and something was off with the curry ... but the stir fry we ordered was good. for the price won't return
