Great and authentic Thai food. Had to try multiple dishes; highly recommend their Curry, Pad-Thai, and Pad Go-Prao. The service was very friendly and stopped by the table many times. It took a while for all the food to come out, which was mostly our fault for ordering so much, but they we're very apologetic. I would definitely give this a stop the next time I'm in Rochester.
Panang Curry is my go-to meal when I try a new Thai restaurant. My Panang Curry was terrific, among the best I’ve had. The chicken was quite flavorful and the broth had a buttery, rich taste. The owners are delightful; Thai-Riffic will be my Thai place in Rochester.
We lived in the Asian region for a long time and always lived the Thai food. We didn’t expect to rinse excellent Thai in Rochester MN, but this place is authentic and delicious. A very small restaurant with limited tables, but that allows them to ensure each guest gets excellent service and even better food.
Called 5 times no answer no online order option to be found.... 2:50 pm on a Tuesday. The web says its open....
The food is amazing! Very fast!
Fantastic food and service.
I enjoy my Khaw Kai Jeaw today. Yummy!
I have gotten food here twice now and it is not only the most authentic Thai restaurant in Rochester, but possibly the most authentic restaurant here on the whole. Coming from a large metropolitan city, I struggle to find good quality food in this town. Thai food is also my favorite cuisine.
They use Thai eggplant in their green curry, which sold me even before I set foot inside. The green curry was also delicious. I was relieved to see that they use soft tofu instead of the pre-fried stuff every other Asian restaurant in Rochester uses. 10/10 best green curry I've ever had. (And it's my favorite dish).
Today I got the Pad See Ew with tofu, another favorite dish of mine, and it was not too salty— which is an issue I have with other places— and is also the best Pad See Ew I have ever eaten. Pad see ew is supposed to be simple and the umami was perfection. It takes incredible skill to fry with high heat without burning or undercooking. The balance of textures was incontestable. Another 10/10!
I also got the Mango Sticky Rice— my favorite dessert of all time— which was also delicious, down to the selection of mango. This might be the most delicious mango I have ever eaten in the US. I didn't know one could get a mango like this in this country. The rice is also such a perfect texture and flavor. The only thing I wish they had was the crispy mung bean as a topping. But it would ADD to its perfection and authenticity, and not having it doesn’t take away from the perfection. So 9.99/10.
Sorry, it was too delicious and I forgot to take photos.
Friendly, prompt service, delicious food. Partner got the yellow curry with chicken. I got the cashew chicken. Both great! Would add photos but our plates are empty! Yum!
I loved it here, the food is amazing, I had the yellow curry rice & the Thai Tea is the best tea I've ever had in my life. The chief & server are good people. Authentic Thai food & really good. 💙

Absolutely delicious food. Only two choices available immediately. We walked in and I picked one item and my friend the other we were both very happy. However, next time if we want something different, we’ll order ahead as it they make it fresh really set up as a takeout place. Complex flavor of a dish called MAMASSAMAN that I have. My friend had ginger chicken and liked it too. I did ask for less rice and more sauce and was glad I did.
Great place to watch- the owner and staff were very knowledgeable about how to assist me in making the decision of dish since it was my first time! I will be back Pen!!
Thai food restaurant owned by Thai people. The flavors were very authentic and tasted exactly like Thai foods in Thailand or even better served with golden spoons and forks. The prices were reasonable with excellent customer service.
Okay everyone, this is a serious recommendation. Strap yourselves in for the closest thing you can get to a trip to Thailand in Downtown Rochester. When I tell you the food here is EXACTLY what I had living in Thailand!! Very authentic and incredible flavor. They also offer catering and a buffet at lunch. Service is a little slower in the evening but well worth the wait! Please check them out if you like flavor and spice! There are also vegetarian and vegan options!!
Delicious and perfectly spicy Thai food. Great to have another option in town!
Food was so good we forgot to take pictures !😁
