34 Best Thai Restaurants near Maplewood

“Amazing food, kind staff, reasonable prices“

“Their thai boat for me wasn't good they tasted like package noodles. What was great and probably the best in MN to me is their raw larb. They use real pepper, not dry pepper, not chili flakes, real authentic cayenne pepper. 1 out of 5 places I've been to will use real pepper and not just that, they put mint leaves and lemon grass also. A lot of places just throw in cilantro and green onion, maybe red onion TOO. Their lao papaya is good, full of flavor and spice if you ask for it. I would say 4.5/5 overall as my main interest was their thai boat which wasn't for me. Service was great too.“

“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! 😋“

“Super friendly workers. Delicious and beautifully prepared food. Immaculate dining room. They also do take out. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved this place. The Thai boat noodles were rich, savory, and full of authentic flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Great service 10/10 overall“

“Absolutely fabulous! The food was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Everything we ordered was delicious—I honestly ordered too many dishes to list, and every single one was worth trying. The experience was so good that I came back just a week later. If you’re looking for authentic cuisine and excellent service, this place is a must-visit. Be sure to check out the photos.“

“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.“

“Pad Thai and spring rolls.“

“Been there twice, Barbara and I LOVED it. Great food great people- Don't miss this one!“

“Some of the best Thai food in St. Paul, and very warm and friendly staff!“

“Food portion was mediocre for the price but the taste was def there which makes up for it. Beware of spice level. I got level 2 which is 1 teaspoon = moderately spicy. Self serve: water, utensils and condiments station. Order and pay before you eat. Atmosphere was fresh and chillaxing. Service was great!

Cons: no sirraccha“

“Haven’t been here in a long time and picked it up last nite. Highly recommend! All dishes we got were fresh and delicious! My daughter has celiac and sam said anything on the menu can be gluten free, she loved the chicken and broccoli and he even packaged it separately to ensure it was safe for her. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely amazing! Yum 😋 the food I can't wait to go back!“

“Make sure you stop by and see Ashley. She's amazing. The cream cheese wontons were delicious and the Pad Thai portion was huge. Also had the Chicken Satay with peanut sauce and it was juicy and cooked to perfection. Really great food and at a great price. Highly recommend!“

“Great job! We had the pineapple rice with pork, red curry with chicken, lo mein with shrimp and some apps - fantastic!“

“Delicious food and good service. Highly Recommend egg rolls, wontons and Pad Thai (chicken)!“

“The service is prompt and friendly. The food is equally awesome. They just added Spring Rolls to their menu and they are the best I’ve had. Add their perfect peanut sauce and I’m putting this place on my ‘must go to’..“

“I am not in the area to visit this business but if you are or passing through Minnesota stop in. Tell them Josh sent you! They are kind and caring about their community and gave free meals to the Homeless. So please give them a visit. *I heard the food is a #10 too! Thanks Kong’s Kitchen!“

“Once again this place is incredible. I ordered the lao papaya salad with salted black crab on Wednesday and I can only have two bites a day because it's so spicy but they've been the best 8 bites of my life“

“The food here was tremendous. Highly recommend the egg rolls and gang panang.
Wife and I agreed they’re the best egg rolls we’ve had in years.
The chicken gang panang was exactly what I was looking for craving a coconut curry.
The service was fine, brought our food out after making it fresh. Would work equally well as take out. Seemed a little pricey, $50 for 2 meals and egg rolls so not cheap but not crazy.
Interior has lot going on, feels like dine in definitely isn’t their focus but plenty of seating. Food was served in take out containers with lids available.“

“Best pork belly in the Twin Cities!“

“Best papaya!!! I could not stop eating it!“

“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.“

“Good food and service! “East Side Local!”“

“Friendly Service, Fun Atmosphere, AMAZING FOOD EVERY TIME!!!“

“Awesome service, good food and overall a fun place. Large menu and also have a lot of Gluten Free items and are indicated on main menu. Will definitely go back! So many more dishes I want to try!“

“Best Tempura ever and the Rice Noodles Amazing but that Mango Sticky Rice was to DIE FOR 💥❤️“

“Muy buen servicio, empleados muy atentos.“

“Authentic Delicious food. Does not lack flavors. I’m a big fan of their boat noodle,lak nak & especially cream cheese wontons!“

“This place's foods taste very good!!! I love their boat noodles, Saikrok (may not be on the menu, so u have to tell them u want it), and their other foods! 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! 🥰♥️“

“Great people and great food“

“I liked the pork-belly laab! The porkbelly itself has a good taste but I couldn’t really taste the laab seasoning but it’s okay because it was good. Sticky rice was a little bit uncooked but I still could eat it. I also got Fried rice, Chicken wings, and Khao Piak and they were delicious!“

“We thought their food was very delicious the service was great they were polite very nice place to eat. We would recommend this and we will go there again thank you so much for your hospitality. ?“
