The Thai garden staff worked with us to cater a wonderful take out meal for 10 for a special celebration. We ordered several delicious entrees, including Thai basil stir fry, a fabulous green curry, and cashew fried rice with chicken. The owners made it really easy for us to choose a good menu and pick it up within our party's time frame. We were able to offer plenty of food for a very reasonable price, and our guests raved. They went back for seconds and thirds. We'll definitely be back.

This is the best Thai place in the TC that I know of. The kitchen isn't phoning it in - they really seem to care about what they send out. What really stood out on my last visit was how fresh the ingredients tasted.
The dining room is cozy, maybe even a little romantic, and the menu is very vegan-friendly.

Updated 2024: Thai Garden is my absolute favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities. I have been coming here since the day they opened, and I show it to everyone who visits and wants to try local food. Long and Ginger, the owners, are the kindest people, always friendly and welcoming whenever we visit.
My favorite dish here is the Pad Lard Na, a hearty noodle dish with a flavorful brown gravy, veggies, and the protein of your choice. The noodles are homemade daily, thick and delicious. The presentation is impeccable, every detail beautifully arranged for aesthetic perfection.
That said, I often still have a hard time deciding what to order, as there are so many amazing options for the current mood and context. The noodle dishes are always solid, the curries and stir fries are amazing, and the pho is top notch.
We always get an order of the spring rolls, which are a superb start to any meal. We also often like to order a Thai coffee, a beautiful and delicious cool drink with swirling white and orange, a kick of flavor, and plenty of spirit.
I recommend this place to everyone. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring everyone you know. We love Thai Garden!
Vegetarian options: This place has so many different vegan and vegetarian options. They have many protein choices, and are happy to make any soup with mushroom broth. ?
Dietary restrictions: The chef will accommodate any dietary needs if asked!
Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible, with dedicated close parking and a ramp!

Pho and the curry soup(kapoon) was average at best. Probably our first and last here!
Delicious, authentic food. The chef came out from the kitchen to make sure we were happy with our food, and boy were we. I've eaten here twice, and will absolutely return...with friends! The Pad See Ieu is fantastic!

We went here after reading they were able to make gluten free. Myself as well as two of my children have celiac and finding a safe place to eat out is hard. The owner and chef came out and spoke with us explaining his own son had celiac and he started the business so he had a place to eat and actually grow. Not only was the food delicious but all felt well after eating. We will definitely be back, a true gem!

Thai Garden has delicious food. Because I am a vegetarian, it’s my go to place for Thai because it serves vegan Thai with no animal by products. It has a great chef, who prepares healthy food and often customizes it for customers. The waitress is extremely capable, has a great memory, sense of humor, and is just darn nice.
Terrible place. They just rob money here. The portions they serve are way too less. And every dish is over priced. As if that is not enough they forcefully charge tip which is automatically added to your bill. You like the service or not, you end up paying 20% tip. The server was rude, made racist comments that cannot be tolerated. Just stay away if you do not want to have a bad day.

Another stop on the Twin Cites Vegan Chef Challenge list!
Their challenge dish:
Thai Sweet Chili Tofu
Stir-fried tofu, mixed vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, bell pepper, onion, carrot and green beans), sesame seed topping
Thoughts: The green beans were perfectly cooked for this dish and the portion was generous.
While I enjoyed this dish, I’m more excited to have found another St. Paul restaurant with plenty of veggie options. I’m a fan of curry and that’s what I’ll try next! The menu was clearly labeled to show which options could be made vegan. The fresh spring rolls were my favorite that I’ve had around town.
Service was kind and enthusiastic, the chef even came out and asked what we thought of the new dish and was excited about it!
Patio seating is available and there’s a large parking lot behind this stretch of businesses which made parking easy.
Vegetarian options: Menu indicates clearly which items can be made vegan including red/yellow/green curry among many other options.
Parking: Parking lot is located behind business

I have allergies to nuts & soy that bother my asthma, yet I LOVE Thai food. When I told them about my allergies, instead of telling me about how little options I have, the chef came out and discussed my allergies and his options with me. How sweet! The result was a delicious Thai meal from anything on the menu that was catered to what I could eat. And, believe me, it was YUMMY! I could have licked my plate!
Lots of options, great staff. Highly recommend!!
