“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! 😋“

“Calamari rings are tender and large! Squash red curry (medium spice) was just the right kick. Super tasty! Very clean restaurant and service was friendly.“

“Myself and my fiancé are from Northern Minnesota and were there in July of last year. There were a couple of minor issues with our visit that day, but the food was delightful. Our server suggested that the manager may want to speak with me in regard to our experience, given the nature of the issues that occurred, so I left my business card and honestly forgot about it, as it wasn't that big of a deal to me. Some time later I received a letter at my office from the manager (I found out later that she's actually the owner.) She sent me a check to refund the cost of our meal, along with a very nice note of explanation and apology. The refund was way above and beyond what was necessary or expected. She took full responsibility for the issues that we had experienced at her establishment that day in July. She also asked for another opportunity to serve us the next time that we were in the area. This was a very classy (but unexpected) response to what I would consider to be something that wasn't that big of a deal to me, but it clearly was to her. Given the high standards that she clearly demonstrated for her establishment, there was no doubt that I would honor her request for a second opportunity. This last Saturday we were finally in town again and were able to visit the Basil Café for a second time. We had an absolutely delightful experience in every regard! After our meal, I asked the pleasant young lady that was checking on us if the manager happened to be in on a Saturday. Well, that turned out to be her! Her name is Tiffany, and she is the owner of the Basil Café. I introduced myself to her and she not only remembered the letter that she had sent and the small issues that occurred on our previous visit, but she also remembered my full name from memory!!! We had a very nice conversation and she sent us home with some extra spring rolls that we enjoyed at home later that evening. Tiffany, I also run a business, and the way that you treated us and handled that situation is an impressive lesson in customer service and leadership. You didn't just recover us as customers, you created 2 raving fans of your business through your actions and demeanor along with your wonderful cuisine. You easily could have brushed off the initial experience that we had last year. And, while we weren't upset about it, we likely wouldn't have thought to ever return to your establishment if you had. Instead, you held yourself and your wonderful restaurant to a higher standard, and you made 2 raving fans that will return again and again and will recommend your establishment at every opportunity. Tiffany, thank you for a wonderful dining experience and thank you for a refreshing attitude and demonstration of personal responsibility that you so impressively gave. That level of service and attention to detail is rare in our world today. BTW, the Drunken Noodles are delicious and so are the Spring rolls. We will see you again soon. - Jake & E.“

“I've been meaning to try for the last year and finally stopped by and had lunch. Ordered the Samosa and the Pumpkin curry and vietnamese coffee. All were really delicious. I will definitely be back.
Vegetarian options: There were several dishes that could be made vegetarian as you can choose your protein.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. It is wheelchair friendly, but I wasn't able to check the bathroom situation.“

“If you're looking for an authentic Thai experience, this restaurant is the place to be! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was beyond amazing—each dish was bursting with flavor, and the Pad Thai was the best I've ever had! The ambiance is cozy and warm, with beautiful decor that transports you straight to Thailand. A perfect blend of great service, mouthwatering dishes, and a relaxing atmosphere!“

“I haven't been able to find a better place for massamun curry in the cities than here. Always delicious and always made super spicy (which I love.)“

“Great place as a no frills Thai restaurant. Unbeatable prices and portions. Flavor and texture were on point for their pad Thai and drunken noodles. Their peach smoothie was delicious too. Service is definitely not their strong point, but wasn't expecting it from a hole in the wall restaurant.“

“I’ve been here a couple of times now after my first experience. This is my favorite place to dine in Eagan now! The food is excellent! The flavors and portions are just right. The first time we went they got slammed with take out orders and where busy all through out our dine in. People coming in were just raving about the place and rightly so. Since then, they have expanded their place into the location next to them. The place is very clean, and the workers are very nice and welcoming. Definitely make sure to dine in, you won’t regret it!“

“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“

“I like eating some of the foods in their menu. Some foods tastes good. However, I wouldn't go there for pho, but I would go there for cooked dishes that's served on plates, because those taste better than the pho's. They have good customer service over there when I went.“

“I needed eggrolls for a potluck so I went in when they opened. They were so kind and willing to help. In 20 minutes, they whipped together a half tray for me and I wasn’t late for my meeting. I am so appreciative of their great customer service. I will definitely go to K’s Kitchen and Deli for delicious Hmong food and recommend them highly!“

“Typically go to the Rochester location so thought we would give a try. The food was great but the ambience needs a huge update. It made us question is we made a bad choice to dine in. While eating at one of the 6 tables people we continuously coming in and out to pick up delivery orders behind our seats. Again, the food was up to par but service was slow. Only 6 people total in the place eating while we were there. My husband was served his food first and I waited another 7 mins for mine to come out. That is kind of weird. He didn’t want to eat without me but wanted to eat his food while it was hot. I’m 50/50 on going back to the St Paul location to dine in“

“On’s is the best Thai food in the Twin Cities. The spices in the dish were perfect. I think it was the best Pad Se Ew I’ve ever had, and it was easy to order vegan. Also a great place if you want your food really spicy!“

“the whole experience of hot pot was great! parking was a bit hard and I wish the plates were smaller to fit all foods on the table. I love the sauces, one is spicy/ savory and one is acidic/sweet. great amount of meat! the owner suggest the tricolor so it was good as well. would definitely come back!“

This place may be small, but don't let it doubt u, because this place has the best boat noodle in town compared to other restaurants I've been to. I love it. I am a returning customer always! 🥰♥️“

“It has been years since my wife and I have dined in at DC2. The hype after its first opening seems to have died down. Usually when asked about DC2's food, folks seem to have mixed reviews. So because we were around in the area yesterday, we decided to give it a try to see what has changed.The menu seems about the same, with a few less items. The biggest change is the prices, which definitely is dollars more than it use to. Understanding with economy/inflation, pricing up is eventually going to happen. But is it worth really spending about $5-$10 on dishes where you can go a few blocks over to Hmong Village for cheaper?We ordered the combination pad thai (big noodles), papaya salad (Thai med spicy), and hli xiab (fried pork with tamarind sauce). I was always a big fan of the pad thai sauce from DC2, which seems to be the same as I remember it. However, the noodles are a bit thicker, like chow fun noodles. It was soft, feels homemade, and paired very well with the sauce & meats. The papaya salad was not overly sauced, and tasted very fresh. It had just the right amount of spiciness, sweetness, and sourness for both my wife and I. The hli xiab was a dish we have not tried before, and did very much enjoy. You pick a choice of meat which is stir fried with a sweet tamarind sauce accompanied with bell peppers and onions. There is an option to add spiciness, which we did do. We chose pork which was first fried, then cooked with the sauce and veggies. If you love sweet like in orange chicken, then this is the dish for you!The service was great, much better then I remember it. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was attentive. They also have a call system button now which you can click to ask for something or add things too.Overall, I was very impressed with DC2 and will come again. To go back on my question, I would rather spend few more dollars here then go to Hmong Village.“
