50 Best Thai Restaurants near New Brighton

“I stopped in for the Thai tea and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! The tea was delicious, but the real stars were my husband’s curry and the fried rice—packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. If you’re planning to visit, I definitely recommend it. They offer spice levels from 1–5; a 2 is perfect if you like just a little heat without it being overwhelming.“

“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! 😋“

“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.)“

“This place is totally worth a stop! Thai food is our favorite, and this place did not disappoint! The portions were very generous and spice level was perfect!

The only thing we weren’t expecting was the small seating area in the restaurant, but it was totally worth dining in! We will be back!“

“Curry fried Rice - I'm calling it. It's the best rice I've ever had. Seriously seriously impressive.“

“My fiancé and I came here for a date night and wow!! I can be pretty picky- but they truly had such an amazing variety for how small of a restaurant they are. Their spice levels were great- if you’re a baby, like I am, you can definitely handle their one star spice no problem. Their cream cheese wontons are the best I’ve ever had and their stir fry was that of my dreams. Our service was fantastic!“

“Food is amazing and service is friendly as ever“

“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!“

“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.“

“TNT Wing Shack if you have not tried it go check it out good food good service and you get your money's worth and have a scoop of ice cream as well don't know what you missing“

“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.“

“Decided to revisit after two years and ended up visiting two days in a row because I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

The menu has clear markings for vegetarian and gluten free. As someone who is gf, I really appreciate the labelling and the large amount of options there are.

The pad thai is phenomenal and the portions are on the generous side—which I appreciate. The tofu triangles and sauce were additionally delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try other items.

My only ‘complaint’ is the spice levels, which is hard to gauge at every restaurant and very subjective. For reference, as a non-native Minnesotan I love spice. I’ve tried their Hot (3) and Very Hot (4) but was a little underwhelmed, so I’ll be getting the 5 next time. Just a heads up if you like spice!

The music selection is also on point. Whoever controls the aux has good taste.

Amazing place, will be returning in the next week likely.“

“The tofu red curry was wonderful, excellent spring rolls, and also really good cream cheese wontons (I'm picky about these, they can be too sweet... but these were just right). Everything was very fresh and flavorful.“

“Great food. Great intimate and quiet atmosphere. Great location. Service was great, greeted upon arrival, patient when answering some questions. Very responsive as I texted prior to actually visiting the location to make sure I went to right location. Ordered the shrimp fried rice with 1/2 teaspoon of spice and it was fiya! Right amount of heat, flavor filled and shrimp cooked with the right texture. I ordered the imitation crab wontons, the presentation of these was beautiful. The imitation crab can be a hit or miss for people who like it. Sometimes the warm imitation crab is not as great as the cold imitation crab. I will be brave next time and try the fish meatball wontons. I inquired about the fish and it redfish Bree. Never heard of it so was scared but maybe next time. Definitely will return. Great food. Great service and great atmosphere. ♥️They are really feasible. Appetizer, specialty drink (lemonade with fixings) and entree was about $35 with tip.“

“Ordered a variety of items. Curry, soup, noodles, etc. All 10 out of 10. Literally some of the best food We’ve ever had. Owner cooked. She is a meticulous chef with rare talent. You won’t be disappointed, no matter what you order“

“The best Lao food I have had at a restaurant in a long time! I was impressed the first time I tried and have been ever since!“

“Pad Thai and spring rolls.“

“Love love love this place!! We’ve been 3 times now and every time we always feel so welcome. Like we’re guests in their home. The food is excellent, prices great and exceptional service. Food is always hot and fresh and beautifully served. Our favorite place! Highly recommend!“

“Delectable flavors and a generous portion for both entrées. I highly recommend.KARTA Thai for quality flavorful food without MSG. The decor is pleasant with much natural light. We will definitely return.“

“My new favorite restaurant! Great food, atmosphere, and friendly owners.“

“UPDATED to say that this place is such a hidden gem and I need more people to know about it. This recent time, I had the Yangon beef curry and it was perfection. The stuffed tofu was great and the tea leaf salad was just as delightful as it was the previous time. I really like that they can omit the fish sauce in the tea leaf salad and stuffed tofu. Consistency matters and this place has it.
-----
Really enjoyed the tea leaf salad. Highly recommend! I wanted to try the boat noodles but they said they were out of it. We were there an hour after they opened on a Saturday and there were only 3 other parties there. I guess they don't have it consistently. The yellow curry was pretty good. I also enjoyed the pad thai. I like that they can make some things vegetarian/vegan. I'd come back.“

“Best Thai place in the twin cities in my opinion! Specifically if you like curry - I have ordered takeout from here probably over 200 times over the last 5 years - I’m not joking, and every time I get the Pineapple Curry with Chicken, I hope this place stays open for as long as I live because it is my absolutely favorite meal.“

“Awesome refreshing Papaya Salad and Spring Rolls, will superb dipping sauce.“

“Always my go-to Asian food, quality is much better than the stuff you get elsewhere in the skyway. The portion size is decent. The food tastes better, too. The stir fry dishes and curries are my go-to. I usually eat them with white rice. They have great service, quick and efficient, and the rice is usually cooked well.“

“Delicious and great service. I got mee kah teeh and the red curry was rich and savory. The portions were very generous and we had a lovely experience overall. The vibe is cozy while also being spacious. Excited to come back and try their other dishes.“

“Do not sleep on this place, its is some of the best thai food in the twincities, complicated dishes that are very authentic to thailand. Food comes out hot and in huges portions. The spice level is pretty high so if your don't like alot of heat order mild, it will still be spicy.“

“Everything was obviously freshly prepared with complex flavors, crisp vegetables and tender chicken. Entrees are very generous so one was plenty with an appetizer for two. Our waiter was also very helpful and pleasant. Mai Thai is a hidden gem in Robbinsdale.“

“Delicious I would recommend this place very highly Thai it you like it !!❤️“

“Just finished our wedding at Thai Twist and the owner Chery was VERY kind to us and looked out for us to very step. We had a blast here and most of the staff were very good at their job🙂‍↕️ also shout out to the security guards for helping us find our missing person! lol too much fun and lost somebody! Come check out the place for yourself! Everybody’s experience is different so come see for yourself!“

“I had the chicken birria fries and chicken birria taco. Omg that taco stole the show hands down, the best birria taco I’ve ever had. I also loved the birria fries with the Ka’Ris corn (get the corn! It’s amazing and I hate elotes in a cup). But I cannot say enough about the birria taco, just try it! This is now my new favorite taco spot.“

“Everything! Loved the drinks and creative, yummy menu!! So fun!❤️“

“Our favorite outing is Sabbai with a beer at east lake. Alisa always remembers us, her family and team are wonderful and the food is best!! They make the hottest Pad Thai in the twin cities and offer vegan among many ways to customize your order“

“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.“

“Very reasonable and everything we ordered was amazing. Definitely check them out!“

“Friendly service and great food. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered! We look forward to going there again and we highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“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!“

“I got a little lost trying to find this place in the skyway but if you enter from the lasalle apartments on 9th and lasalle, take the elevator up to the skyway it will be the first door on the right! Parking is located in a paid garage or paid street.

The food is delicious! I ordered the Nasi Lemak with Crispy Chicken and got my egg sunny side up. I ordered at the kiosk and waited less than 10 mins.

I loved the spicy sauce it came with and the chicken was super crispy and well seasoned. The limeade was not too sweet and the lobby was clean and spacious! I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a delicious and filling bite.“

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

“Our first time here. The sake and plum wine were delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing, tall ceilings and dim lighting. The food was exquisite, the vegetable tempura was perfectly prepared, and we both loved our entrees. The server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We both plan on coming back.“

“Delicious food! I went for lunch with a group of 3. I got the spicy fish, which was lightly breaded in a delicious sauce and I loved it. The others got pad Thai (the best version I’ve tried) and Tom Kah Gai (which I wanted to bathe in). I would love to go back again.“

“I ate there today with my daughters and everything was delicious! One wanted spicy and one wanted plain. The restaurant handled both requests perfectly! Everyone was great and so kind :) Top notch!“

“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!“

“Ordered takeout from here for the first time while working on trying all the Thai restaurants that are within delivery range. This was by far one of my favorite Thai orders in many years - we had the khao soi curry, red curry fried rice, pad Thai along with a couple apps and were floored with how amazing everything was. They actually apply the heat! Will definitely be ordering from here again in the near future.“

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

“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’..“

“Muy buen servicio, empleados muy atentos.“

“great soup. service, owners friendly, enough room and tables“

“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!“

“When my family and I went to Thai Boat 89, we literally ordered the whole menu. Everything was good. My top 3 dishes was Pad See Ew, Pad Kra Pow, and Boat noodle. Sorry if I misspelled any of the dishes.“
