“I’ve been looking for a good Thai restaurant since I moved to Minnesota 2 years ago. And I finally found it. The food is PHENOMENAL. The spice is not a joke. But the staff is so kind and courteous. Best customer service by a long shot. I felt nothing but welcomed.“
“Fantastic service, friendly staff, very good prices. All around an amazing to place to stop by when your in the area!Vegetarian options: They had all sorts of various vegan options like tofu and vegan spring rolls. Also had the option to not have any meat for many dishesParking: A large parking lot“
“ATTENTION: Please be patient with the staff. They're a very small operation but are incredibly busy and trying to keep up They've got a small space to work and and can barely squeeze by each other when cooking so that combined with the number of orders is reasonable justification for longer wait times. I'd suggest ordering 30 min to 1hr before picking up to save some wait time during peak hours.With that out of the way, their food is so good and worth the wait! Portion sizes were plenty to be full too! The team is kind and watching them work I could tell they were clearly do the best they could! I would love to see them expand later! There is a small dine in area, but if it's peak meal times it can be a long wait, but it's understandable.Thank you to all the employees there! I see you barely able to move around back there and so busy. I appreciate you all!“
“y’all if i could’ve eaten everything i would’ve. here are some of my favorites: the brussels sprouts! and the cabbage kinda a dark horse wasn’t expecting to love it. and you know what was so slay the tiramisu. i LOVED everything and i will have to find a time to “
“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.“
“A very busy place and for good reason it seems. I was going for take out but, was told that was going to be an hour, at least but I could have a table in 15 minutes. We were seated in less then 10 minutes table for two. I asked for suggestion between my favorite curries Rama and green . The server replies green curry without hesitation. And I was not disappointed. This is some of the best green curry I've ever eaten. The eggplant was Thai eggplant, and it made the dish pop with flavor. Fresh and complex flavors, clean tasting. Also ordered the pad thai with chicken. Very flavorful bright and tangy. The chicken was not remarkable. We will definitely be back. I think this is my new favorite Thai place. Also enjoyed some Thai iced tea.“
“I never leave reviews, but tonight I had to. I placed an online order at 8:25 and our food was ready in literally, I’m not exaggerating, 6 minutes! Since I moved to MN, Pad Thai has been a staple, with consistently great food and great service on each and every visit. And tonight was above and beyond!“
“absolute banger of a restaurant. if you're craving hearty, flavorful east asian cuisine and a homey down to earth atmosphere, this is your place.i grew up going to hole in the wall Chinese restaurants and this hit the spot. big portions, delicious, good vibes.“
“I ordered pineapple curry and asked them to make it real Thai spicy and they did make it real good spicy and gave me nostalgia of my days in ThailandTotally recommend it to people who want the real Thai amount of spice, and heads up, it is not for the faint of heart “
“Authentic? Absolutely! How can it not be? The chef is authentically Hmong, his experiences are Hmong, and thus his food is ? Hmong! Traditional? Not completely. I love it for what it is…an evolution of the Hmong food diaspora here in America! While visiting my beautiful niece and her little family, I had a strong hankering to eat Hmong food. She suggested this brilliant establishment. The wait was short and the portions abundant. While eating I was transported back to mom/dad’s kitchen, and the after school meals they would prepare for us! The sausage is excellent and had all the flavors of Hmong new year. Lemongrass, fat, herbs, salt…and crunch! The pork was perfectly cooked and we loved dipping it in hot sauce along with the sticky rice. I highly recommend this authentic Hmong dining experience and can not wait to dine at Vinai next time I visit. I just wish Seattle had something similar. Thank you Chef Yia for moving our food into the future while preserving our past! Cheers!“
“Here's my review. I'll break it into chunks where certain topics might matter to you (:Parking:- plenty of street parking, freeDining:- waiter was very nice and very attentive- was able to sit at a table quickly- food came out pretty fast- bathroom and inside the restaurant was clean- plenty of seating inside tooFood:- the spring rolls were sooooo delicious! (: the peanut dipping sauce was sweet but very flavorful. I think this is probably one of my favorites now for fresh spring rolls. The shrimp chicken combo was also very nice and flavorful.- chicken pad see ew: it's interesting to have bell peppers and squash in it, but I like having more veggies in my dishes (makes me feel a bit more healthier XD). The chicken isn't like rubbery or hard but shreds nicely when you bite into it. There's a light tint of a flavor like sesame oil. The dish wasn't super oily.Overall, I had a very pleasant dine in experience after my two hikes. This is also just a very cute town area to explore. I would recommend here as a new place to check out and a town to explore ?“
“Are you looking for an authentic Thai experience? Then look no further! Flamin Thai has plenty different of options to eat for everyone. The sushi was fresh fresh fresh! The service was excellent! The environment made me feel like I was back in Thailand! I’ll be back.“
“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“
“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!“
“One of the closest Vietnamese restaurants in my area and the foods always great every time I come, especially the beef vermicelli noodles salad. The services were always great and quick. Also they have a big parking lot and lots of other great places nearby, very convenient. The price is also decent compared to other restaurants.“
“This is by far the best Thai that we have in the neighborhood! I usually get pad Thai and red curry anytime I try a new place, and I’ve been disappointed with the two other places nearby—but not here! I asked for pad Thai Flamin hot with tofu and it’s one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. The tofu was perfectly cubed and fried without being greasy, and the sauce a rich brown color with notes of peanut, tamarind, and lime (slightly sweet and tangy), and the spice was perfectly hot without being overpowering. Most other places give me mild/medium when I ask for Thai hot, and this place actually listened. The red curry was also memorable with bright flavors from the Thai basil and veggies. Poured over rice, it’s a heavenly combo perfect for a cold night. I am so grateful to have a new go-to Thai spot! I hope they stick around for a long time.“
“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!“
“We dined in. The place could use some updating but it was spotless.I have to say the ginger tea is the star at Mai Thai. Our meals were perfectly spiced I had Level 4 stir fry.The menu is simple and basic to order from which tells me they concentrate on a quality over quantity.I think retro is really in right now and the style in this restaurant could actually be a selling point. They have cute crocheted items for sale the front door I might request a Finnish flag purse when I go back. I live close by and this was my first time trying the restaurant but they appear to have a lot of dedicated diners base so the happy photos of customers on the wall.Parking: You have to use a service road to get to the parking lot but there is plenty of parking.“
“I just had this food last weekend. So yummy. I had the Pad Thai and Green curry. I have not been able to find good Thai in Minneapolis since moving here but my son convinced me to try. I had given up. So good and a block or two away, I can walk. Also had a glass of red wine, perfectly lovely so if you want a little booze, they have it. Had a crispy shrimp appetizer son ordered, also. Portions not huge but big and enough for a couple meals from Gr curry and Pad Thai. I wanted to take leftovers home, hence two meals. So good. Give it a try“
“Restaurant was empty when we got there and packed within 30 minutes - all the tables were reserved. With it being such a small spot I definitely recommend making a reservation when possible. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful, she was detailed and helpful in answering our questions and recommending drinks. We got a mix of sushi, thai, and ramen, all of which were equally delicious! You could really tell the food was freshly made and of great quality. I recommend trying the thai iced coffee as well if you are up for a cold, sweet, umami drink. A word of the wise for those of us a little less accustomed to asian spice (if you know what i mean...) - please don't lie to yourself about how much heat you can handle, the spicy ramen is SPICY. The “level 3” heat we ordered was a lot. Do yourself the favor and get a 1 if possible and ask for some of the hot sauce on the side so you can add it in to your liking. My friend was absolutely humbled. He was all but in tears. I have never seen his face so red. I think our waitress got a real kick out of this as well (she did try her best to warn us about The Spicy, so it was all in good fun) ? Overall, a great little spot. We'll be returning for sure!!“
“Our first time here... The food was great! All but 2 tables in the main section were full. Spicy selection from 0 to 5... we got a few 3's and a 2.Chicken Green Curry at 2 was great.Beef Red Curry ordered a 3 but seemed sweet and lighter in spice than the green Curry.The seafood salad 3 was goodAnd the chicken fried rice at 0 was tasty... with no spice at all.Egg rolls and Thai sausageThe price for 4 adults was $100 without tipParking: As it was put first time here we are not up on the parking... for us it was difficult.“
“Best thai place in town. Everytime I have friends and don't want to cook I pick up from this place and they pick up everytime they're in the neighborhood. Thom Kha & wings & pumpkin curry - all exquisite. I could go on. Haven't had a bad meal.“
“Ordered take out and it was wonderful. Fresh and flavorful. Chicken, veggies, sauce and apps were well blended. Appreciated the plastic to go containers vs the old style Chinese takeout boxes, as you can eat out of them. Quick in and out.“
“Very quiet and quaint atmosphere, intimate. Food is phenomenal and spiced perfectly for our tastes. Nice and sweet with a bit of kick on the back end. The service was okay but could be a bit more attentive. The spring rolls are cut into bite-sized sections, which is a nice touch. Would absolutely recommend a try!“
“This is the only restaurant besides phams that’s still open from when I worked at mama Ds kitchen. I always loved the fried rice especially shrimp the shrimp are big and they give you your money worth! The boba is amazing thick juicy sweet! I just love sabbai Chinese! Please don’t ever shut down!“
“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.“
“Went there for lunch with some co-workers. Nice little restaurant. Was busy but still got seated and served quickly. Had sweet & and sour chicken, it was delicious. They had 5 spice options: none, mild, medium, hot, Thai hot, so levels for everyone. I was a wimp and just went with mils, lol.“
“Server was a bit strange.The food completely made up for her.When you walk in the door, there is no fish smell.Very important!The food temperature was perfect.Texture, flavor, all spot on!We drove 25 minutes to get here, and will absolutely be back.“
“Embarking on my initial foray into Thai cuisine, I opted for the red duck curry and was profoundly impressed by the depth of flavor and culinary craftsmanship it presented. The experience was a delightful revelation, far exceeding my expectations and introducing me to the rich tapestry of Thai flavors. Accompanied by a friend with extensive experience in Thai dining, their endorsement of this dish as exemplary of authentic Thai culinary standards further affirmed the exceptional quality of the meal. This dining experience has significantly broadened my culinary horizons, showcasing the intricate balance of flavors that Thai cuisine offers.“
“When we came I was a little nervous because we where the only customers. I try not to judge by how empty a spot is but they looked like they had been empty for several hours. Anyways, the food was actually really good. I initially came because I saw in their menu they had Pad Sew Yew. But their cream cheese wontons stole the show. Probably some of the best I’ve had in the twin cities! Since then I have ordered a few times to go and have ordered the same two things. Always good and packaged really well. I love this spot!“
“Easter Sunday - Stopped by for the first time in years and were pleasantly surprised that the food was still authentic. Good portion sizes as well, and friendly service. Looking forward to our next visit!Pictured here is the drunken noodles with tofu and Singapore noodles with tofu. They take spice levels into consideration.“
