Really love the noodles, curry, fried rice.

On's Express on Cleveland. Avoid it. Staff uninterested in customer service. If you go be sure to check your order. The food we received ( in addition to not being what we ordered) was undercooked and forgettable

I love this restaurant. Sometimes when it is packed the service is a little slow, but that's fine. It's a fun atmosphere. I like that if you ask for a spicy thai dish it is usually legit blow your mind spicy. Really good food.

This review is overdue, but I’m compelled due to some recent negative reviews to stand up for my favorite restaurant. I’ve been going to On’s for years. They are consistently the best Thai food in Minnesota. Always friendly and prompt. I bring out-of-towners here. I bring friends here. I bring colleagues here.

I usually get #70 because it’s so dang good, but you can’t go wrong with the menu. And they are true Thai spice on levels.

Don’t change On’s. And don’t listen to the haters. Much love to who you are and what you do.

Bringing some guys from the office later today for lunch…see you in an hour!

Glad to give 5 stars for service- sometimes (busy times) it can take a while to be acknowledged. Food is usually out pretty fast no matter what.

Didn’t even eat here after reading all the rules as well as the fact that they upcharge for credit card use. As a former small business owner I’m fully aware of credit card fee is a business write off. A cost of doing business that the business ultimately does not incur. Having an additional 3%revenue stream as that is your upcharge is not ok with me and shouldn’t be with any other of the prospective customers that walk in your door. Wake up it’s 2024 ownership! Make it easy and convenient for your potential customers to pay you. How many others do exactly what I did after the not so welcoming signing greeted them upon arrival? Also parking is a train wreck with 4x4 clearance needed to clear the gigantic pot holes in what they call a parking lot. So many other fantastic options in the area.

Parking: Back lot is double parked with huge potholes

Wonderful food, excellent service and chill vibez. The Pad See Ew with tofu was fantastic. Ordered it 5 on the spice scale and probably could have done a 6-7. Very fresh and flavourful.

The rice was hard and crunchy meaning it was either undercooked or 2-3 days old. Not sure how a Thai restaurant gets rice wrong…? And for nearly $30 for one entree that’s an expensive mistake.

The first time I visited Minnesota, we were let in on a local secret: On’s Kitchen, the hidden gem of St. Paul. Thai Green Curry is usually my go-to, but after so many lackluster tries elsewhere, I wasn’t expecting anything life-changing. But from that first bite, I was hooked – the flavors were unreal! Every spoonful was a burst of flavor, and before I knew it, the bowl was empty. The restaurant has such a welcoming vibe, an impressive range of vegetarian options, and a spice scale from 1 to 10 (love that flexibility). The staff? Absolutely fantastic.

I loved the experience so much that today, I made the 30-minute drive just to celebrate my birthday here – if that doesn’t speak volumes, I don’t know what does! I’d highly recommend not only the Thai Green Curry but also their curry puffs, mango sticky rice, Thai tea, and cream cheese wontons. If you’re around, this place is a must-visit

Bro, I just had the best meal I’ve ever had at a Thai restaurant. And that’s saying something im addicted to Thai food. I got The Khao soi with chili oil on the side upon recommendation from my amazing server (very cheerful guy). Spicy, sour, sweet, umami flavors. Thai people just do it better. I also got a side of white rice. DUDE. BRO. I never leave reviews but I just had a project X party in my mouth. Lord help anyone going to mediocre Thai places when this is an option. BLESS this place and its employees.

On’s used to be one of the best Thai food places in the state. Sadly now it’s not even a top 5 Thai food spot on University Ave. My recent order of Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles was a watery flavorless mess which appeared to even have used the same sauce for both dishes. They both had the exact same bland flavor. Many better options in the area for good Thai food.
