“This is the best Thai food around! I’ve never been disappointed in the food, and the service is always amazing. Super fast pick up times for take out, and a beautiful patio for summer. This is my ultimate favorite St. Paul restaurant. Don’t miss out on this gem. Menu highlights for me are Pad Krapao, Laab Isaan, curry fried rice and Pad Woon Sen! 😋“

“The fried rice was flavorful and well-balanced — not overly oily, with a good mix of vegetables and seasoning. It had that signature wok-char taste that gives Thai fried rice its depth, and the portion size was generous.
The chicken satay stood out even more. The skewers were grilled perfectly, tender on the inside with just the right amount of char on the outside. The accompanying peanut sauce was rich and creamy, with a slight sweetness that paired beautifully with the grilled chicken.“

“My daughter told me about this place and she highly recommended it. I'm glad she did because the food is very good. Been there several times now. Kind of a disjointed seating area. I forgot what restaurant it was here before this place but boy is this place great.“

“I go to Mela once a week for the Pad Thai, spice level 5. It’s the only time I go out to eat and is a weekly treat. I love them, the staff is always very friendly. I have celiac disease, but have never had an issue with cross contamination. I would say that Mela is both celiac and gluten free safe in my experience and even has vegan options so overall is very dietary restriction friendly. I will say that sometimes it’s less spicy than others, I order level 5 but get what seems like a level 2. I just leave a note in the comments that say I want smoke to come out of ears from how hot it is and then I get the level of spice I’m looking for 😂
It’s fantastic and really the only place I feel I can trust with allergens. I cook everything from scratch and only eat out if I can’t make a better version myself. I recommend them to everyone. I have order once a week since moving to the area in June :)
Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe, never have had an issue with cross contamination in the 6 months I’ve been going here. Vegan friend also goes here and there’s lots of options“

“The husband took our 4 year old and 7 year old to eat dinner there today without me. He ordered 1 kiddie bowl of pho and a 2nd kiddie bowl of broth and meatballs only. They charged him for 2 adult phos (16.00 each= 30 total) ontop of the regular entres he ordered (75.46 total). We've been dining there almost once a week for the past few months spending close to 100 each time. Very disappointed and show no value to loyal customers. Never returning.“

“I ate here for the first time this week. And I felt that I was back in Thailand. I ordered Thai Noodle soup. (GUAY TIEW). I was stationed there for one year during the Viet Nam War, and ate Thai food every day. Went back to visit in 2019 for 3 months. Returning this winter to live there. Anyways, I have been to several restaurants in search for this dish here at home. And never could find one that was the same. Many were Vietnamese that served Pho and is not the same. It looks the same but the flavor is different. Only Thai cooks, especially from the Issan area have the secret recipe I guess. Guay Tiew is one of the top dishes in Thailand. Right up there with Pad Thai and Tom Yum, etc. I believe that it does not get noticed because there is not a long list of ingredients and spices like most dishes. Also had a perfect Thai Coffee and a Singha beer. The Lady that waited on me was the best one could ask for. Please try the Thai Noodle Soup, (Guay Tiew) for a treat.“

“We stopped in on a whim for a bite while waiting to go to a show at The Parkway, and everything was so delicious. We had never been here before, so I played it safe and got the pad thai (best pad thai i've had in years) and I am SO eager to return and try more dishes, and some sushi! My partner got the Japanese beef bowl and it was rich and flavorful, with an unexpected ginger flavor under the tender beef and onions. Gyoza was stellar as well as was the Japanese hot tea. Bonus: The couple next to us was raving about their curry as well, and it definitely piqued my interest.
Fantastic job, BaGu! Great food, great service.“

“Have enjoyed this restaurant for years and years. On a recent visit (January 2025), I ordered my usual panang chicken curry. It was much spicier than I remembered it, but I’m certain the fault was with my
memory, as the more bites I took, the more I realized the perfection of the spice level. I tried adding a small amount of the house-made chili sauce, but it didn’t need it. It was perfect just the way it came out of the kitchen.
Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten-free options.“

“Crystal Garden is a wonderful Chinese restaurant in Minneapolis! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. They offer a fantastic selection of authentic dishes, and everything I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and helpful, making sure you have a great experience. Whether you’re craving dim sum, stir-fry, or their delicious noodles, Crystal Garden is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend!“

“Just stopped by this little gem of a kitchen in Eagan. Clean, bright space with tables and booths for dine in. Staffed by friendly, knowledgeable people. I ordered pad Thai shrimp which was spiced medium and was delicious, as were the 6 pork dumplings! Will definitely be back!!“
