Found this gem while out to eat with family from out of town and was not disappointed. Clean restaurant with nice high quality menus, great service, very large portions. What a surprise to find this. Don't let the old Taco Bell facade fool you.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever eaten at. Extremely flavorful spices and a wide menu selection will leave no one dissatisfied from the food.They have a great drink selection to go along with any meal. 10 out of 5 stars if I could give it.I am only sad that I can only have such excellent Thai food here in Minnesota.

Phenomenal food! Their Tom Yum soup always makes me feel better when I’m sick. The flavors are out of this world. Not many places give me that home cooked feel but this is definitely one. Never had a bad or wrong order. These guys are the real deal, so authentic.

It was okay. The pad mango was really sweet. Like sweet n sour sauce poured over my veggies. It’s something I just could’ve made at home. The fried rice was better! I ended up not being able to eat anymore because of how sweet it was. Service was weird. We felt like we were being ignored. I don’t think it was necessary his fault. We kept trying to flag him down. Overall , I wouldn’t come back.

So yummy!! Stopped by for a friend's birthday. She raved about this place so of course we had to check it out! We both got drunken noodles and shared the spring rolls as our appetizer. I've tried spring rolls before and didn't really like them, so I was a bit nervous. However, these ones were SO GOOD! The peanut soy sauce it came with was just...*chef's kiss*. The drunken noodles were also soooo good. I picked a spice level two and thought it was a good level for me, but next time I may bump to a three. I do like spicy food (MN spicy at least lol). The inside is very cute and bright, and the staff were so so sweet. Very friendly and quick. I really loved this spot and will definitely come back! Oh another important thing to mention: the servings are huge! And the prices are awesome. Definitely a 10/10 spot if you're looking to finagle two meals out of one.

3.5Parking is limited as you'll have to park on the streets. Nice clean little restaurant. My pad kraw pow was bit salty and had to mix in the white rice to balance it out. Service was good though. Will prob come back and try the other dishes.

We love Karta Thai. The food is incredible. Everything we've tried has been wonderful. Highly recommend. Fabulous spring rolls.

Massive quantities of meh food. Food wasn't bad. Wasn't mind blowing either. I could have easily made this at home myself. There wasn't anything special that deserved coming all the way here. For about $17, I could have made 2-3 meals out of my order. Probably the most rice any thai restaurant has ever offered me. If you're tight on time and want a decent takeaway, this is probably good.Seating is limited so it can get full at peak hours. We got the crispy lobster rolls (crab rangoon filling in spring roll pastery), pra-rahm karta special (literally vegetables in peanut sauce) and khao soi (flavor was too simple?).Again, it wasn't bad. Just underwhelming. Still 5 stars for the good service, good quantities and ok food.

Love Karta Thai! We are pretty regular take outters here and have been a couple times in person. They have a smaller dining area but the food is worth waiting for. I'm a fan of their pineapple fried rice, pad thai, and their various curries. Their Thai tea is also a favorite of mine. The staff are always so friendly and helpful.
I had lunch at KT with a family member. The lunch specials were reasonably priced, and i was v pleased with the entree. I had Chicken Pad Thai with brown sauce, medium-spicy, and everything was just right. Generous portions.One minor quibble: i found the "background music" a bit off (sounded like mid-80s "yacht rock") and a bit too loud to allow for conversation. The server was v polite and prompt about turning down the volume at my request.This place is in such a great location, and not only will I go back very soon but will be sure to recommend it.5 stars for great food, great location, and great service.Thank you!

Food quality is very good, and the portion size for their lunch is surprisingly good given the price ($10). They are a bit understaffed and took a while to take our order, but once they did the food came quite quickly.

Used to love this place but either the recipes changed or the cooks have changed. The fried rices and noodle dishes now lack flavor and have no sauce. I’ll be looking elsewhere for Thai staples from now on.

I especially like the pumpkin curry with chicken. Are usually end up getting drive up on a cold winter’s night. It seems like a family run operation. I love sitting at the bar and watching the cooking happening in the kitchen. Location is on Comeaux Avenue in the heart of Saint Anthony Park. The spice can be very mild or very hot; you get to pick. This is a “go to.”

It's family owned, my favorite is the chicken pad thai with red sauce it is amazing. Great spot for lunch or dinner.
