Ordered delivery of cashew chicken it had 4 cashews and maybe a once of chicken 1/2 of container had this weird clear ish fluid like water was poured on it. Not good also egg rolls that looked like taquitos you buy from Costco not recognizing as egg rolls. Will not be ordering from here again. I also received an extremely rude response so I am changing my review to a 1 rating. I would not feed this slop to a pig.as a disabled vet my wife and I like to have Thai food on the rare occasion we can afford it and we do not have the ability to drive the nasty food back for a potential refund or replacement of more nasty food. We both spent many years living in Thailand and this food is far from that

I have been here a few different times over the last ten years.
Same bldg, same parking, same menu, same flavor, but the thing that makes it special was absent.
Food tasted fine. It was warm enough.
Table and floor was clean, parking lot was open and had spots.
The Location is nice,
Maybe it's time to take a new stance/ do a mid-week buffet day or have a live music Friday night, this isn't a bad place - there was just a-lot more people doing take out than dinning. I have this feeling, like if this were a downtown rooftop resturant it could be in the running for a one michelin star resturant; Maybe they could add a drive thru and get more customers because it's already on a great corner lot.

Vegetarian options: Some options include tofu or mock-duck.

The pad see ew, pad thai, and thai tea were good. Our pickup order was accurate and ready on time. They weren't kidding about the spice warning!

Just fyi - the turn in is a little weird, it's not in the same lot as the Dairy Queen but you can walk over if you end up there accidentally

OUTSTANDING food at a second generation family Thai restaurant.

The flavors are fresh and savory with no MSG or added packaged concoctions but made right "in-house." The meat was fresh which isn't always the case with pork (excellent-with the garlic dish). The vegetables were cooked to perfection and so fresh.

The appetizers are amazing. Are you kidding me with the crab roll with fresh chunks of avocado!?!

The restaurant is small, quaint and unique. We visited with the owner, Pawan, and he was gracious, kind and clearly proud and honoring to carry on the legacy of his mom who started the business.

My husband and I live 300 miles away and this was my second time as I found this gem with my son when I brought him to the Minneapolis airport.

I cannot say enough about this place and we'll visit it every time we're in Minneapolis. I will encourage all my friends living in the Twin Cities to dine at this restaurant as well.

FIVE STARS ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing spicy food. One of the best Thai food that I ever had. Please be mindful about choosing the spicy level. Food is real tasty

The outside looks like it’s falling apart, but the interior is nice. Don’t sit by the bathroom, because it stinks super bad. The food though is great. Friendly service if you have cute kids. Best for takeout.

Vegetarian options: Almost all dishes are vegetarian, and one may add meat, tofu, or mock duck to them.

Kid-friendliness: It's a smaller venue, with a cozy atmosphere. I'd recommend it for date night, but it is family friendly too.

UPDATE TO THE RESPONSE:
I did ordered just that. The PHO, The drunken Noodles and Thai Fried Rice.

When we didn't want to finish the food we asked the server for some to-go containers. She only brought us One tiny little brown box.
Which is when I got up and helped myself to grab another to-go container because we asked her for 2 containers.

As there was still so much food left it didn't fit into one container. We decided to take the leftovers for someone we know who may be wanting to try it.

We didn't even pack the Pho because it was just terrible. It tasted like dish water with a bunch of bean sprouts. You can see that we didn't even touch it nor didn't want to pack it.

So share away.

The Thai milk tea was pretty good! Recommend to order one with the food!

The spicy is really spicy, which I like. But better lower down the spicy level if not good at hanging the heat.

The green curry was nice but not super impressive.

THE SPICE! IS! RIGHT!
At long LAST, I found my Thai place in the Cities. I ordered GF Pad Thai with shrimp and Prik King with tofu. I thought I'd have a nice lunch/dinner/snack over the next 24 hours, and shooooooooot, I ate it all last night. It was so good. I ordered spicy, because I needed to know. Now I know. It's just perfect.
No idea about ambiance because I grabbed and went, but it looked well-appointed and the front-of-house folks were friendly and attentive to their late-lunch guests. Can't wait to go back!! <3

Dietary restrictions: Finding a gluten-free Thai plate is priceless.

Oh my God, I haven't enjoyed pad thai this much in 30 years! The boran pad thai with shrimp was amazing. Noodles dripping with their tangy sauce, blanketed with an omelette, covered with shrimp, chopped peanuts, and green onion. Seriously, order this NOW!

Sleeper spot, put this one on your radar. Generous lunch portions for $12. The drunken noodle disappeared before my eyes
