Walked in and was quick to get seated. Only ordered pork/shrimp spring rolls, chicken Pad Thai, and Thai iced tea for two people but no impact to service. The Pad Thai was flavorful and the portion was huge (easily two meals), but can’t speak heavily as I don’t have much experience with the dish. The spring rolls on the other hand were delicious. Rice paper had a great texture with no dryness, packed full, and the dipping sauce was complimentary without being overpowering. Thai tea was good but too sweet.

Great food. All the curries are great and try the Khao soi. Also the crispy rice is delicious. If you like spicy stuff they can do that too, but beware medium is Thai medium not American medium.

The Thai food here is very good. I had the Pad Kee Mao with chicken and medium spice. It was just right. My wife had the lettuce wraps and what she didn’t finish, I ate. The host/waiter was nice and the food and service was prompt.

My favorite Thai food in the cities! This is an excellent eat street spot. Having spent a few months in Thailand this is the place I keep going back to. Love the flavors, the range of spice options and generous portion sizes.

Hands down best fried rice and fried pork belly! We ordered crab fried meat and added beef. Such a generous portion of meat. I saw this restaurant on a site that ranks the best fried rice in Mn. I can see why it made top 10! So good. The pork belly was crunchy and perfectly seasoned. I didn’t like the boat noodles as the broth isn’t the thick quality that I was looking for. The Thai tea was good but tasted slightly sour so that threw off my taste buds. Overall a good experience. Service: 5 ⭐️ Parking: 2 ⭐️ Flavor: 5 ⭐️ Note parking is hard to find. Good luck trying to parallel somewhere.

I often pick this place for special occasions, because the food is always so delicious. Never had a bad meal here ever.

There is a wheel chair ramp up to the front door! There is mostly street parking nearby, and with all the snow I'm not sure how close a wheel chair vehicle could park, but this restaurant is worth it. The hostess is very hospitable and spoke to us right away, and asked us to wait one moment while she finished some work. Then she seated us got us some waters and came back to check on us at great times. The gyo zho sp? (chicken dumplings) were amazing. The crispiest i have ever had, so well done. I have the mixed veggie stir fry with pork and medium spice, and for me the medium spice was spot on! It tasted so good. I also got a milk tea and the tea was robust and flavorful and it helped to balance the spice nicely. The atmosphere was nicely balanced, quiet background music to make for easy conversation. Not packed at lunch time so that was nice.

Valentine's day was my first time there. The service was great, food came out promptly, accurately and it was delicious. Social distancing was observed and the dining area was clean. Staff was nice and respectful. There is a surcharge for using a debit/credit card, regardless of amount you spend. I think they can consider waiving the surcharge, if a customer spends $30 or more.

WOW - this place totally exceeded our expectations! We were going to go somewhere else on Eat Street that night, but due to a change of plans, came here instead. I'm so glad we did. The space is pretty large with many seating options. The front desk person was also the only server and was so efficient, kind and gave great recs. We tried: Oxtail Noodle Soup Pad Thai Basil Chicken Wings Khao Poon And all were perfect. Those might be the best wings I've had this year?! Sooo crispy, hot and topped with deep fried basil, yum. The Khao Poon had the most luxurious rich broth. The oxtail was cooked to perfection, and the pad thai didn't skimp on heat. We all agreed it was some of the best Thai we've had this year! Can't recommend this spot enough - go check them out!

Ordered two wok dishes, but substituted with mock duck, one in ginger flavor, the other in Thai Basil. They are both good everyday dishes, probably best suited for take out. Not too busy, which is kinda nice, but service was fast, like most of the Asian restaurants!

Whenever I'm in the area I will stop by for fried pork belly and pad thai. Servers are really nice and ask if you want some water while you wait for your togo orders. Restaurant is nicely decorated with mural on the wall. They also provide a party room for bigger parties or private party. They recently updated their menu, come and check them out!

MUST TRY!!!! The food was phenomenal. Full of flavor and it was actually spicy. Order: -Drunken noodles with chicken -Red curry with mock duck -Papaya salad -Cream cheese rangoon I recommend this place to anyone who loves some flavorful Thai food. The ambiance wasn't bad and customer service was good. For parking, there is a lot across the street or street parking.

Yes you must get the fried pork belly and papaya salad! I love that they give you a healthy serving of sticky rice. Gonna try other dishes next time. This place is a hidden gem.

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and had the whole place to myself. I had my heart set on Vietnamese soup but my favorite was closed and I didn't feel like finding a new parking spot down the street so I popped in. I ordered the spicy Thai chicken wings and the Tom Yum Noodle Soup at a spice level 3 of 5. I really enjoyed the soup which had nice chunks of barbecue pork and a good amount of ground pork as well. The broth was spicy but not overly spicy and I think even up to 5 would be perfectly enjoyable. The wings were really nice sized with lots of meat but actually worked against them along with the generous amount of sauce to keep them from being as crispy as I like. I would have preferred a glaze to the sauce. It was a bit salty and rather sweet despite its being called 'Spicy' Thai. Service was good and the dining area is much nicer than some of its fellow eat street establishments all be it with less tasty food. 3.5 stars for me.

We were trying to get some Malaysian food down the street of this Thai cuisine but they only do takeout so we came to Kuhn Nai Thai, so glad to find this Thai cuisine, the food was great! The curry was just right with the spice they put In, especially they fried the potato after it was cooked , so the inside was soft while outside was crispy! The tom kha soup was pretty good, the only Thing that I felt weird was they put carriage in it... which kind of ruined how the soup should taste like ? Or well I guess it's different than most of the thai restaurants that I have tried? The seafood plate was alright, more or less was stir fried Services was decent, it was not too busy, maybe it's cold outside Parking was pretty easy, and walking distance to other restaurants and grocery stores Will try this place again if we came by the town again :)

Yelp
This place was amazing. Staff is attentive and surprisingly fast. The place was 3/4 full when my daughter and I arrived to sate our Thai desires. We had the chicken satay, jalapeño wontons, Tom Kha soup, Gang Ped Yang (curried duck), and ...something else... we were tying on the feedbag. The drinks were on the table before we thought about them again and the whole meal began showing up shortly after. Blazing fast service and food that was plentiful and better than we expected. Delicious. Be sure to leave space for our return. We'll be back to try the Pad Bai Horepa. See you there soon!

Very solid! Standard Eat Street ethnic restaurant, minimalist generic tables and plates. They have a number of specialties that I haven't run into on a Thai menu elsewhere, though. Mine was the Khao Poon, a blend between a noodle soup and a curry, not entirely unlike a Malay kari mee. It was solidly spiced (if it makes me blow my nose and sweat a bit, we're good) and had lots of nice crunchy veggies atop the noodles and ground chicken. Winner winner chicken... um, lunch I guess. Will have to try some of the other back of menu items or get family take out. One star less because service is a little off, they've got one poor dude handing all FOH. As a result, tables around me got their orders messed up, though mine was perfect. Still worth a trip and will get my repeat business.

Yelp
Amazing food and quick service. I got the red curry with tofu. It was delicious and worth the try. I got it mild since I don't do to well with spice and it was the right amount. They have a large selection of food and they have something for everyone. I would definitely go again.

Jenny L.

Yelp
Came here with my friend only because the Malaysian restaurant across the street was takeout only and we wanted to do sit down. I was pretty surprised how authentic it is. Ordered the duck curry and my friend got the crab fried rice. I ordered it medium spicy and it was perfect. Spicy, sweet, sour combined. The lychees in it were a bonus too. Wish they added more duck meat - it was tender and worked with the curry. Can't speak for the crab fried rice but my friend really liked it. Got beef pad Thai and jalapeños cream cheese wontons to go and it was good also. Overall, if I crave for some Thai food and in the area I would definitely go again.

Had a wonderful date night at Khun Nai this past weekend! It wasn't too busy but also realized it's a much larger restaurant as they only have half the dining area open. The host was incredibly polite and friendly! We ordered some crispy wings and some Thai papaya salad to start. We got the mild papaya salad and still burned out tongue and face! The crispy wings came out steaming and absolutely delicious. I ordered a shrimp pad Thai and my husband got the Oxtail curry that he said was absolutely phenomenal. My pad Thai was tasty but unfortunately the noodles were very mushy and unpleasant. Other than that, everything else was fantastic!

I saw someone on YouTube eating boat noodles and I search everywhere in Minnesota for it. I found this place and looked at the menu and it was very affordable. The service and staff were great, we went at night and it was very empty. The appetizer were okay, I couldn't finish the satay chicken it was too dry for my liking. I don't really care much for tofu but my friends enjoyed it. My favorite were the cheese wontons, love every bit of it. The boat noodles definitely lived up to my expectations but I wish I got it less spicier my nose was running after 4 bites. I was told it would be a little sweet but I didn't taste any sweetness, I wish there was more broth though. The Khao phoon (the red soup) was on the sweeter side, it was still good. The seafood was good it a little spicy but bearable. My friend enjoyed the mango and sticky rice desert, she said it was pretty standard.

Service was great. Ambiance was fine. THE FOOD... if a person were to give this food less than 5 stars they don't know what real authentic Thai food is!!!! I've been to Thailand a dozen times and every once in a while find a Thai food restaurant that brings me back. This is one of them!!! I highly recommend the oxtail curry, or the Guay teow ruea! Wow!

Tara J.

Yelp
Khun Nai is a solid Thai spot. It wasn't the best Thai I've had but it was good. We ordered red curry, basil fried rice, chicken wings and egg rolls. Everything was pretty good. The egg roll probably impressed me the most. Everything else just seemed solid! The food came out quickly and tasted fresh. It was a good experience and worth trying. The prices were fair. We paid $50 for everything we ordered. There is street parking outside so plan for that.

Food is killer, and the prices are perfect . This is my go to take out spot. Highly recommend this place!

Khun Nai is my neighborhood Thai spot and I'm so happy it's solid, creative and spicy. In the latest visit we got a pad ka-nha ($13.50) modified to be vegan without fish sauce. While Khun Nai doesn't tell you what can be modified, they're game to change up pretty much any dish. This one was a great, savory vegetable stir-fry centered around Chinese broccoli. The pad see-ew ($13.50) can be made vegan without egg and fish sauce. It's a straightforward noodle dish and nicely done. I love the pad med mamuang himmapan ($13.50) which is a cashew stir-fry (also made vegan without fish sauce). Get this dish. Lastly, Khun Nai is maybe the only place in Minneapolis where you can get fried rice made vegan without egg, and also made with brown rice. Khun Nai doesn't advertise this, but they'll modify their khao pad horapa ($12.50) on request. This dish is awesome. Be warned that "medium" spicy is really damn spicy. Their scale is different than other restaurants, that's for sure. Portion sizes are large and their online ordering is nicely done, allowing easy customizations. Amazing Thailand is the only other nearby Thai spot and, while it's good, I think Khun Nai is slightly better. Sen Yai Sen Lek in Northeast is really good, but it's also quite expensive.

Very friendly staff who were eager to help and provide service, even unprompted. I ordered the Rama Dish with peanut curry and my partner ordered the Khun Nai Fried Rice. Both were fairly large portions; we both needed boxes afterwards. Their homemade peanut curry sauce is phenomenal! I have no regrets about trying this dish out.

The BEST thai food in the twin cities BY FAR. Everywhere else pales in comparison. Their pad thai is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy and is absolutely addicting. Their jalapeño cream cheese wontons are an ABSOLUTE must, and their tom yum soup is PERFECT. Its hard to find good thai. But this place is OUTSTANDING. Absolutely my favorite place for thai. And i've tried alot of places.

My husband has been doing all of the cooking during our shelter in place and he's earned every day off that he requests. When we eat out, we try to eat what we don't prepare at home. I was jones-ing pretty hard for some Thai food, which led us to Khun Nai. It's on Eat Street, our favorite culinary destination, and we're really hoping these businesses survive this crazy period. I ordered the meal online and arranged for curbside pickup. Yes, another chance for me to learn how to do this! This time there were no designated spaces, though they have parking available in a lot across Nicollet and one behind the restaurant. I scored a spot out front and called to let them know I was there. The cheery gal on the phone said it would be another 10 minutes. So I waited, sent some Mother's Day text messages and got out of the car to pick up the order. No call, no one at the door. Meanwhile other diners are walking in and walking out empty handed. Turns out Khun Nai is getting slammed; phone is ringing off the hook and there's only one, maybe two people in the kitchen. Whoa, Nelly! That gal on the phone was taking orders and running orders out from the kitchen like a whirling dervish! She was working so hard, no wonder I didn't receive a call. The restaurant looks like a really nice place with thoughtful decorations, lots of live plants and a rustic floor. Currently all the chairs are up on the tables and the tables are pushed way to the sides, which enables diners waiting in the chilled evening - like me - to come inside and wait while distanced appropriately. There were eight of us waiting so I completely understood the wait and anticipated something wonderful for dinner. I couldn't get home fast enough! Lemme tell you about the Por Pia Sod, aka fresh spring rolls. They are my kryptonite. If they're on the menu, I gotta have them. We ordered them with BBQ shrimp filling and the taste was so fresh. No cilantro to be found, which pleased The Hubster immensely. The best part IMHO are the ends. Some places make them with a tuck and wrap at the end, which means your last bite is all rice wrap. Not at Khun Nai! The filling just keeps on going. I can't tell you about the Shrimp Pad Thai personally, but The Hubster assured me that it was delicious, fresh and tasty. There were so many big shrimp! He made all gone, I mean down to the last noodle. I wasn't about to get between a man and his favorite dish! The Pad Cha Talay or spicy seafood stir fry is mind blowing. My picture doesn't do it justice because home plating. In the restaurant this would be served in a sizzling pan and I just drooled thinking about that. There were huge shrimp, mussels on a half shell (so much easier to eat; thank you!), an abundance of scallops and other seafood, peppers and herbs. The red curry was on point and - since I ordered with medium heat - my nose was off and running. It was the perfect mix of heat and flavor, something that is hard to define and even harder to find. Please support this awesome restaurant... but don't take my seat because I'm coming back!!

Good Thai is really hard to find in Minnesota, and this is one of the best places I've found in the nearly 18 years I've lived in the Twin Cities. I always do to-go, so can't say much about the dining experience. The food is flavorful, there are great options and staff are friendly.

Dale G.

Yelp
We had spicy noodle and basil fried rice - medium spice. The heat was a good medium. It was noticeable but not overwhelming - a challenge for a spice wimp and a refresher for a spice pro. The dishes were flavorful and had good price to quantity portions. The vibe is not that cool. We went at 5:30 on a Friday and it was empty and almost awkwardly quiet. Thai food is easy to be bad and hard to be good. I thought this place was definitely serviceable but nothing stellar or wow worthy.

Kaci B.

Yelp
Made a to go order over the phone and for some reason it looks like they charge $2-3 more per item on to go orders? It was $40 for a pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and some wontons. I know that prices are going up everywhere so not super surprised just though it was going to be more around $30 based on their menu prices. The wontons were some of the best I've ever had! Their sauce is really good too. I would go again for these alone. The entrees however were a bit more average. I wasn't blown away by the pad Thai and was surprised that the mild was basically no spice, my husband got the pineapple fried rice, extra spicy, and it was what I would've expected medium to be. Definitely get some spice in the side if you're able! I've previously had the egg rolls here and we did not care for them. I think we needed up throwing them away. While it's not necessarily a bad restaurant, I'd rather go for any of the other Thai restaurants in town. It's just average and felt misled by pricing. Not a big deal, I have no problem paying for food, just appreciate transparency and to not be surprised upon paying for the food.

Came here looking for a late lunch after spending the day at the art museum and found some good Thai food. Thankfully the service was fast because we were pretty hungry lol. Ordered the pad see ew with the beef and the red curry with tofu, both medium spicy. I have a pretty low spice tolerance and I felt that both dishes were pretty mild spicy - you might want to ask for more spice! Thai tea was great as well.

Audrey D.

Yelp
Wonderful food, great array of options. Table side service is lacking. Would suggest ordering takeout instead of dining in.

Neil S.

Yelp
A nice place for some good Thai cuisines, all the standard fare you'd expect. We had the duck curry and the special duck salad (I think it was a salad - S6 on the menu maybe?), both of which were very tasty and seasoned well. I asked for medium spicy but it didn't taste spicy at all - but I'm accustomed to it so maybe if you're not it'll come through more.

Melissa M.

Yelp
I was craving Thai and the hours for restaurant were promising so I took a chance. I ordered the panang curry which is usually my go to for Thai. The curry was extremely salty it overwhelmed the curry flavor. I know it's going to be salty but this was extreme. My tongue burnt from the salt and I couldn't eat it. I ordered chicken soup and had the same issue with the salt. I threw away $25 and my Thai craving is unfulfilled :(

Yelp
This review is for online delivery order only. GOOD: My pad see ew and Thai sausage were both delicious. Online ordering is convenient (though misleading - see below) and my delivery order arrived very fast. BAD: 31% delivery and convenience fees! (And that's before tip, mind you.) That should be a crime. Their online ordering site (run by Menufy) does not warn you in advance of these exhorbitant fees. I know these are tough times for restaurants, but that's simply too much extra to charge. I especially hate that the ordering website doesn't warn you about these tacked on fees until after you hit the submit button. I upped my initial review to 3 stars because the food is actually good. And I hope to eat in the restaurant itself once the Coronavirus pandemic is over. But the 31% pre-tip fees are too steep for me to recommend ordering delivery from here.

Was able to order variety of food since went with group of friends and order family style. Food was delicious. Very authentic tasting. Parking a little difficult but they do have some space in back.

One of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to! We ordered the Massamun chicken curry and the basil fried rice with vegetables, both of which were so flavorful and delicious. We also had the mango sticky rice for dessert and that was amazing too! We thought that the mango rice ratio was a little off, so we asked if we could by any chance get more mango on the side, and the server happily gave us another plate of mango and it made it perfect! I don't live In Minneapolis but if I visit again, I'll definitely be going here again.

The best Thai food I've eaten in the Twin Cities, hands down!! My friend agreed. Highly recommend! We will be back!

Loved this place! We've been looking for a good Thai spot in Minneapolis, and this has been our favorite so far! For apps we had the vegetarian dumplings and fresh spring rolls, which we loved. Great spice level-- both the pad Thai and the pad kee mao were amazing. A little pricey, but worth it for sure!

Jennifer B.

Yelp
There are not many Thai restaurants in Minneapolis, so I was excited to discover this hole in the wall in Uptown that has apparently been in business for the last 2 years! Right on Nicollet. Visited for dinner after a few cocktails down the street at Eat Street Social. Not pretentious or fancy, but perfect for a casual weekend night or a first date. We ordered the fresh spring rolls with bbq pork and shrimp, which were crispy and refreshing. They came with a crunchy peanut sauce. The roasted duck curry dish I ordered was absolutely outstanding. It was served with pineapple chunks, lychee and basil in a red curry coconut sauce - YUM! My fiancé loved the Pad Thai as well. Solid Thai spot to check out on a chilly fall evening - service is quick and they serve beer and wine as well.

From Bmore visiting w Lao family . So they are picky about true traditional tastes. This place did a great job to make sure flavors were authentic and not Americanized.

Lynda Y.

Yelp
Absolutely delicious. Had high expectations and it def met them! Nam khao is very flavorful and I can taste all the herb and spices! Medium is a good kick-not white ppl spicy rating. Boat noodle also amazing I finished most of it before Weiting the review. Worth it and coming back!

Franny C.

Yelp
Casual restaurant with a huge menu selection- anything Thai you could be craving is probably there. We were in the mood for crab so we ordered the crab fried rice, soft shell crab yellow curry and the calamari. There were only two of us and that could have easily fed three people maybe even four- portions are generous! The calamari was delicious with a great garlic flavor and a light spicy kick, crab curry was creamy and actually came with a good portion of soft shell crab and the crab fried rice was the highlight! Maybe I'm a sucker for fried rice though. They do have a small parking lot in the back that's unlabeled in an alley so pull up your maps app so you can know that you're behind the right restaurant! Eat here for whatever Thai craving you've got! I can't wait to come back and try Tom yum soup and papaya salad!!

Zain K.

Yelp
Got the pad pak (mixed veg stir-fry) with chicken ($12). It was very tasty, and contained an impressive quantity and variety of vegetables, but was a touch too oily for my liking (I think you can get a sense of that in the photo). Still, I would return, and given how friendly the wait staff was, I may just politely ask them to tone down the oil next time...

Meky W.

Yelp
Food: * Atmosphere: * Service: * Most underrated Thai place on Nicollet. Come for the Koi Soy, I'd give that 5/5 for the price and taste ($11) compare to Lat14 $22 koi soy. Try the Thai green tea latte. They have more authentic dishes compare to other places. Warning that the service can be slow. I still recommend it though.

Eva D.

Yelp
So thrilled to have a great Thai option on Eat Street. If I could, I'd give this restaurant a 4.5/5.0 stars. We tried the peanut curry with chicken (see pictures) - this is plate lickin' good and served with fresh broccoli. We ordered it medium and for us, it was the perfect level of spice -- plenty of bite without overpowering the taste. We also tried the red curry with tofu. The tofu is fried and very delicious. It's served with peppers and bamboo shoots. Great flavorful and combination. The pad thai was good but not great. We also ordered it medium and it was barely edible from being overly spicy. Shrimp are fresh, a good size and complement the dish nicely. The sauce is a little heavy and not too compelling. Lastly, we also tried the mango with sticky rice. It came out looking like it may be dry but it was delicious! The mango was very fresh and the sticky rice was perfectly done with the right level of sweet seasoning.

Trina V.

Yelp
Definitely one of my favorite quarantine take-out spots and would like dine-in some day. If you get the spicy papaya salad, it's actually spicy. The Larb is delicious and the tom yum noodle soup is also pretty good. Great spot for Thai food in Minneapolis. Since it is located on Eat Street, parking can be hard depending on the day but i think they also have delivery.

Dung N.

Very tasty food. The dishes are fresh and authentic. The portion is big and suitable with the price. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. Would come back for more.

I have so many thoughts and feelings about this restaurant. I came here with high hopes and I felt that it didn't live up to it. First, I came by with a friend for lunch. We were seated right away, and they took our orders fairly quickly. The restaurant was not busy by all means; just a few customers. We waited for about 25-30 minutes before our food came out. They came by a few times to refill our water while we waiting for our order...At this point we were thinking about cancelling our order because we were getting hungry and the wait seemed so long. After what seemed awhile, our Pad Thai burgers finally made it to our table. The sauces on the side was very interesting and the burger itself too. I liked it but I wasn't a total fan of the burger. My friends burger started breaking up and it fell apart. My bottom bun was soaked and I was having a hard time eating it. At the end, we just ate it as a deconstructed burger. I finished most of the fries and half the burger. I would consider coming back to try actual Thai food and not reorder the burger. However, I think it was worth trying. Will update my review when I come back to try other dishes.

this business is listed under vegan pad thai on postmates. first time odering it, and my rice had 3 different types of meat in it. wasn't even pickable. don't list under vegan if you're gonna mess up that bad.

I've only had take-out from here, so today decided to dine in for lunch today! I was not disappointed! The food was fantastic! We enjoyed their lunch special where you can choose a main entree from their lunch menu and it's paired with a cup of Tom Yum Soup and your choice of egg roll, spring roll, or cream cheese wonton. We were stuffed! I chose the green curry with chicken. It was so flavorful and paired with theses delicious veggies with just the right amount of spice! My partner had the Thai cashew chicken and it was also very tasty! But my favorite dish had to be the Tom yum soup; it just had such a delicious melody of complex flavors that kept me wanting more. All in all, it was a great meal for a great price ($9.99 for each dish). I will definitely be back to try out their other dishes!

Do not be deterred by the understated establishment on Eat Street. What Khun Nai lacks in aesthetic appeal, it makes up for in flavorful cuisine. About 6 of us walked in on a Saturday night and were immediately sat--hardly anyone was there except and older couple and a family. We felt a bit wary by the lack of customers, but were pleasantly surprised when we got our food! All dishes were flavorful, big and hearty portioned, and delicious. You really cannot go wrong when choosing off the menu. Be sure to be careful when they ask for your spice level! My medium-hot dish was very spicy. Overall amazing Thai food on Eat Street. I recommend Khun Nai for carry out or casual meals.

Yelp
We found ourselves here on a Sunday afternoon after looking for a better rated Thai restaurant in the area. They did not disappoint! Our server was friendly and prompt. The cream cheese wontons were AMAZING and cooked perfectly. We had two types of fried rice and both were delicious with a large enough portion for lunch the next day (YES). I didn't realize there was a parking lot, but we found a spot on a nearby street easily enough. I liked the vibe and will definitely be back.

The portion size is a travesty :( at least my take-out portion was. But I will give them a 10 star review on taste the crispy pork belly was melt in your mouth tender with that perfect crunch from the rind,The spicy dipping sauce could've been a little bit more spicy, the chicken eggrolls were delicious! I'm definitely going to give them another try but I will go and sit down and eat next time.

This is the place to go if you want Thai Food in Minneapolis! Great service and large portions. I loved the Pad Thai with fried tofu (mild) and the Mango and sticky rice! Went back twice during my visit! Absolutely delicious

I read a few of the yelp review and decided to just give this place a try....and the reviewers were right! This place is bomb! I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. It's the next best option I've found within Minneapolis that's comparable to Ons Thai kitchen in St Paul. I can't vouch for the rest of the menu, but the items we ordered were 4 out of 5 stars....pad Thai, pad see ew, mango sticky rice. Beef salad was a bit chewy but flavor was good. Laos Papaya salad was ok (prefer the one at Amazing Thai more). Even though a small sign states you can park in the parking lot across the street at the grocery store, parking is a challenge. The lot is always full during dinner. Their spice level is based on Thai spicy scale. Medium spice is equivalent to very hot. Which leaves me to wonder if hot means burn off your taste buds.
