Fabulous Pad Thai every time. Always consistent and their peanut sauce is amazing. Obviously they put a lot of pride in their cooking. Highly recommend!!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Duluth. Even my kids love to eat here! Great pad thai, curry. shrimp fried rice and chicken+peanut sauce.

Got the pad Thai vegan with fried tofu. It was very bland and most of the noodles were lumped together as if they had been sitting in a fridge and reheated. There's not many Thai options in Duluth so only go here if you are desperate for Thai food. You're better off going to Pizza Luce or somewhere else though.

The Lad Nah was exceptional and the service was friendly. Portions were perfect. I will definitely be eating here again!

I generally love Thai food, however this is some worst that I've had. I ordered the lemongrass chicken and the chicken came out dry and tough to cut. The rice and vegetables were okay (not great, but okay).

The server was very nice, however the atmosphere really needs some work. It's very dark and dead silent--especially whennobody else is in the restaurant.

The menus had several items blacked out with sharpie. Not that this is a problem per se, but it takes away from the atmosphere.

The only reason I would return is if I was with somebody else who wanted Thai food. Unfortunately, Duluth does not have any other options for Thai food. My advice is save your money and get Thai food when you go out of town (e.g. to the twin cities).

Four of us met for lunch Friday. The summer rolls were outstanding as were all our entrees. The menus were gorgeous, service very good and the spice level was spot on. You need to get there.

Very friendly host! He always had a smile on his face. All the workers seem to love their job and are very energetic. We got chow mein noodles and chicken fried rice along with their veggie spring rolls for an appetizer. Kind of a pricey restaurant but very worth the food. It’s a very busy restaurant, but we will be back!

They were very accommodating to my toddler who was a bit chaotic. Thai iced tea was excellent, and so was their appetizer platter and pad Thai. Their soup was great!

Kid-friendliness: They were kind towards my toddler while it was slow between lunch and dinner rush

I had the Pad Thai which was more like a bad Yakisoba. It had no flavor other than a grilled flavor. Same with their chicken. Very bland. At least it was cooked properly. Do not recommend.

Let me start by saying our server did a great job. Felt really sorry for him though. As mentioned in other reviews, the big bald white guy (Owner? Manager?) in there is a big detractor. Mostly he sat in a chair at the front of the restaurant. He actually came to our table and lectured us about how orders should be done and that what we ordered for an appetizer is actually a dessert! He came over because he kept telling the server all the things he was doing “wrong,” but really weren’t wrong, and we had told him so. He kept saying that the server should get the entire order at the beginning and not just for the appetizer, but we didn’t want to order everything at once. His counseling of the server was like the background music. I’m not sure if I would eat here again or not. The food was decent. One person in our group needs very mild spices. He said “mild” when ordering and they said that was possible, but it came out spicy and had to be done over.

DO NOT COME TO THIS STORE IF YOU HAVE A GROUP/LARGE GROUP!

Whoever the bald guy taking our order is has terrible service. When he initially came to take our order, we weren’t ready and asked for 5 more minutes. 20 minutes passed and he has not return due to running little errands such as bringing hand sanitizer to the restroom, vacuuming the carpet, and doing whatever he was at the back. After a while, my sister and I went up to the front to order since it looked like he forgot about us.

As he was taking our orders, he kept messing up writing the orders so he had to scratch it off and write it below. As a worker, owner or whoever you are, you should already be familiarized with the menu. But no, it seems like this person is not and kept making comments about how it’s better if he takes our order at the table. Well dam sir we brought the menus up for you since you forgot about us. He could’ve just opened it up as I was reading our orders from my phone.

He also kept making comments about how he is running out of space on his order sheet. Idk what he expects from a group of 10 people to order? Like only 3 dishes only? Well obviously if you run out of space, write on the next one then?

Lastly, he said we gotta hurry up because there is a customer behind me. He was the one who kept messing up while I had my list of what we were going to order. That was my last straw for this dude. Told him to cancel our order and we left.

I was not rude or did not raised my voice. I kept my cool but his last comment made me lose my cool. I’m glad my family and I did not eat at this restaurant. Not wanting to believe the BAD / 1 star reviews, I experienced it for myself and DO NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant!

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!
