“Great place for some tasty Thai. Service was excellent, food was top notch. I had the green curry with chicken and my husband got the drunken noodles we both did medium heat and added more chili oil one we tried it. Very delicious on their own but we personally added more heat.Will be back to try more stuff! Our guests had the seafood pad tom soup (loved it) and the other the Thai version of chow mein.Will def be back and it's a walkable distance from the starcade in keg and case.“

“Picture a steaming bowl of chicken pho, its intoxicating aroma wafting through the air, promising warmth and comfort. The broth, simmered to perfection, exudes a delicate balance of savory chicken essence and aromatic spices like star anise and ginger. Slices of tender, poached chicken float gracefully atop a bed of rice noodles, absorbing the broth's rich flavors with each passing moment.Fresh garnishes of cilantro, Thai basil, and bean sprouts add bursts of color and freshness, while a squeeze of lime injects a zesty tang that dances on the palate. Each spoonful is a journey of texture and taste, as the silky noodles intertwine with the savory chicken, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors that lingers long after the last slurp. A bowl of this delicious chicken pho is more than just a meal—it's a sensory experience that nourishes both body and soul.The chicken pho was delicious ?“

“This is the best place to go if you are craving some great Thai food. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are big. I got Chicken Pad Thai and Egg Rolls. They were both so good and because of the portion size. I have a whole other meal for later. This is a cozy little restaurant with 5 tables in total (there wasn't a wait when I was there) located in a building with other establishments. You scan a QR code that takes you to the website where you view the menu and order online. You can use cash or card. There is both dine in and takeout.Parking: There is a big parking lot behind the building“

“Oh my goodness!! Absolutely delicious! Clean establishment, parking was easy, and the service was good. The food was the best I have had in a while. I ordered larb, spring rolls, and ginseng coffee. I love spicy food and the larb was truly spicy and full of flavor! I will return here for sure!“

“Lanna Thai is our new favorite Thai restaurant! Ate dinner there last night and it was great. I had the chicken pad Thai and my husband ordered the yellow curry with chicken over rice. We shared and both were great. Apple, the owner, was so friendly and helpful. The place is small so you may not want to go during busy times but take out is an option as well.“

“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 ?Dietary restrictions: My cousin likes this restaurant because it works well with her dietary restrictionsParking: They have a parking lot in back but it's unmarked and hard to find“

“We order pickup from Pad Thai around 3 to 4 times per month and absolutely love this place. Excellent flavors, nice sized portions and overall very good value for money.Vegetarian options: Most dishes that we've tried work well with tofu.“

“Order some lunch through Grub Hub. Typical delvery, no issues there. The food was still warm. Order spice level 5, but it was not spicy at all. Over all the flavor, profiles were good, but they were small portions listed at around $12 to $15 per dish. For the price vs. the portion size,i would not order again. Im sure Grub Hub jacked up the prices some. Could be better for dining in or picking up yourself. That is usually always the best way to go. I would try again because i enjoyed the food, but just not through an app service.“

“we've been here probably a dozen times and haven't had anything that wasn't delicious. particularly love the fresh rolls, red curry and drunken noodles but we've tried almost everything and never been disappointed. my daughter usually doesn't like pad thai because it can be fish sauce heavy but here she loves it. if you like Thai food, this is your new GoTo place .“

“This place is definitely one of my favorites. The food is delicious and fast. I always get the Panang curry or the pad Thai. I really like how comfortable the small and quiet dining area is with all the plants. Super friendly family-owned place. I'm always so surprised that this place isn't super busy because it should be!Vegetarian options: Most dishes have a choice of meats, tofu, or veggie“

“First I have to say that the food was just wonderful! I had Thai food before at another place and it was just nasty. I was reluctant to try this place but glad that I did. Very good food! my boys are picky eaters and they loved their food. This place is very cozy and very relaxing place to eat. The staff is very friendly, we will be back!!“

“THE BEST! Lamphai (maybe I'm spelling her name wrong) is the sweetest lady. She has run this restaurant on her own for 28 years and makes excellent food. She was so friendly and showed me all the herbs that she uses for her dishes. She piled my lunch buffet plate high with beef, chicken curry, pork, wontons, and rice, and checked in to make sure it wasn't too spicy and that I'd had enough rice. Stop by Taste of Thailand for great food and support this long running, woman-owned business!“

“I'm not a sushi fan, so I got shrimp pad thai, which was excellent. "Medium" spice was enough for me. My dad got a custom sushi roll that was made perfectly to order, which he really loved. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be back!“

“Mela is a family favorite, we were looking for a new Thai restaurant when we moved into the area, and this is definitely the best. The curries are fantastic but we usually get the Pad Thai, purely out of familiarity. The massaman curry is out of this world, too. The spice here is serious, so if you love food that brings the heat this will definitely be a winner for you. Milder dishes are definitely available and other dishes can be tamed in flavor for those with less adventurous palates.Overall I would highly recommend.“

“Everything was top notch. Quality and tasteful interior, large seating area, both booths and many tables.They have an extremely large dining area and a full bar. The staff was professional and friendly. My daughter and I had an early dinner there and the food was fabulous.I have owned 6 restaurants in my younger days. Owning a successful restaurant these days is a tremendous responsibility. I applaud them for their hard work.As we were leaving the dinner crowd was streaming in the door. It's a breath of fresh air to have this classy restaurant in White Bear Lake.“
“Wow! The food is amazing. Yes, it's a bit pricy, but quantities are generous, and the freshness can't be beat. We had the little shrimp dumplings, crab fried rice, green curry, and spring rolls. Spices were on point, we both loved the use of fresh herbs in the dishes. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I had the Laos papaya salad (4/5 spice), dried noodles (3/5 spice) and beef laab (3/5 spice). The food was amazing!! The spice and flavor was on point! The service was excellent!!The owner was very personable and met our needs to the best of his abilities. My husband wanted raw laab, but he couldn’t serve it raw, so he made it medium rare.The atmosphere was casual but a little small; if I would’ve brought my family there, it would’ve been difficult to seat everyone.Lunch hour. Reasonable price. Parking was not an issue.“

“OMGosh!!!! The spring rolls and Tom Yum are soooo delicious! I will be back. I've already told 3 people about this during my meal ? The owner Sam is so delightful. I had the pleasure of eating inside as it is posted as pickup only between the times of 11-1:30pm and 4pm until ? He allows a group of 4 or less to eat inside at times. He offered this when I told him I was in the parking lot. Do NOT miss this place! The food is fresh. The spring roll sauce is homemade. A+++Parking: Parking close and easy for quick pick up.“

“Found this spot 2 years ago and we (coworkers) have been going regularly for lunch ever since. We've tried a few things off the menu, but the main thing we're ordering is the beef noodle soup "pho". IMHO best 'dark' broth pho in the area! --probably because there isn't any other spots within a 5min drive from our work place. I mean we have tried other spots further, but nothing has beat this spot in terms of flavor. There's probably 2 that are close, but none has us wanting to go back for more. Service-wise you can expect the expected. On busy days, service is slow. You can also expect that sometimes food will take 15+minutes. It's also possible you might have to grab more napkins on your own if you need more. It's also possible you might have to ask for more water as well. What I'm saying is, the service is there. They're all friendly and nice people. Do be warned though, you might hear the aunty be demanding sometimes to new workers. The place is nice. Situated between a small pet store and a sports store. I don't think any of the tables are wobbly, but don't blame me if there is, personally, we've only really sat in a few booths and tables. They've got plenty of tables. I don't recall any music, but I do recall just a slideshow of their menu on repeat. Just sneaking in my 'ambiance' piece. Anyways, pro tip: if you're trying to grab a quick lunch and dine-in, you can order ahead of time on the phone. Another pro tip: during lunch hours, lunch special portion is a good option if you're not able to eat a whole entree by yourself. So if you see something you want and it's on the lunch special, give it a go. Just some info on things I've tried: Khao Soy is one of the best I've had in the Cities, unless someone can point me to a better spot. Chicken Lettuce Wrap is . Spicy chicken wing is hit or miss, but when it hits, it's . Don't expect the Pad Kra Pow to be like your typical Thai restaurant - this one is a light stir fried version without the fried egg and without the minced meat. Rah Nah is real good. Fried rice is . I highly recommend this spot. Note* get your spice levels correctly. Be warned, mild can be spicy.“

“This place ranks among the best Thai food I have had in the U.S. The chef commands a mix of spicy, sweet, umami, and acidic flavors in a way that only the bestchefs can.-To drink, I got the Thai iced green tea. The slightly more astringent green tea paired really well in this drink, which was not overly sweet as Thai iced teas can be.-We got the #33 shrimp salad, which was perfectly limey.-#43, the Yen Tha foe, was truly one of the best soups I've ever eaten. The depth of flavor in the broth, the silky-gushy noodles, and the marvelous textures combined for something I'd like to eat for my last meal.-Pad eggplant was silky and umami-laden.“

“First time ordering from Ban Thai Restaurant. We did take-out and took them about 30-40 mins to get our food ready.Customer service - my husband went in to order and he felt the service was not the greatest, but it is what it is.I am always searching for the best drunken noodles or better known as Pad Kee Mao. When I saw that Ban Thai make Pad Kee Mao, I had to give them a try. So far it’s good. The flavor is different from others that I’ve had. Their seasonings is their own. But I enjoyed it. The noodles were soft, just how I like them. The only downfall is their pork was a little bit on the drier side. I rate it 4/5 stars. Wouldn’t mind ordering it again tho.Their Bangkok Spring Rolls were okay. I order it with pork. Maybe next time I’ll do their shrimp instead. The sauce was okay too. I had to make my own for me to enjoy it more. They really fill it up with veggies and herbs. I love that it was packed with veggies haha. I rate it 3/5.Beef fried rice was bomb!! My husband thought it had too much black pepper, but once I mixed up the fried rice, you can barely taste just the black pepper. I love that they cut up the beef in thick slices. It’s soft and flavorful. Not too salty. It’s perfect. I rate it 5/5.The cream cheese wonton was not a hit for my little family. My kids love cream cheese wonton, but this wasn’t it for them. It had a good amount of cream cheese filling. But the wrap was more on the soggy soft side. Usually the cream cheese wontons are crunchy. But if you like your wraps soft then maybe this is for you. I rate it 2/5Chicken wings were also not a big hit for us. It’s your typical basic oven baked seasoned with salt n black pepper chicken wings. I mean that’s what I tasted when I took a bite of it. I wanted more flavor to it.Overall, I wouldn’t mind giving this place a second chance. Maybe dine in next time and try their pad thai, pho, and curry selections.“

“Order from delviery service, food arrived still hot which is always nice! Ordered 3 different dishes to try. Pad Kra Pao, Mango Fried Rice, and Drunken Noodles. The Pad Kra Pao was good order spice level 3, which was right on par with the heat i wanted. They used slices pork instead stead of ground pork, which was ok by me. The pork was tender, and the veggies were well seasoned, overall a great dish. The mango fried rice was ok, tasted a little burnt, and the mangos were a little hard, and wasnt alot of chicken either. Overall, i would avoid this dish. The Drunken Noodles were very flavorfull, with great meat to noodle portion it was ordered spice level 10, which was great, but not as spicy as i expected. The egg rolls were also very tasty and not too big and overstuffed! I would order again. So 2 out of 3 ain't bad, overall the food was great and the prices were good.“
