About Thai Boat 89

Thai Boat 89 is a popular restaurant known for its flavorful Thai dishes and friendly service. Guests often praise the food, especially the pork belly, which is crispy, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The pork belly laap is a standout dish with fresh herbs, flavorful seasoning, and crispy skin that many find heavenly. The Thai boat noodles are also highly recommended; the broth is savory, not too sweet or heavy, and served with plenty of meat and vegetables, making it a perfect bowl for a cold day. Pad Thai and fried rice are flavorful with good consistency, not too dry, and enjoyed by many. The raw larb is another favorite, appreciated for its seasoning and juicy texture, while papaya salad offers a flavorful, juicy experience. Spring rolls are fresh and tasty, though some find the cream cheese wontons basic with a less appealing sauce.

The restaurant offers attentive service, with staff greeting customers promptly and ensuring quick delivery of food. However, some reviews mention occasional delays in service, such as not receiving water promptly or waiting to place orders. The space is small, so takeout is recommended for convenience. Parking is ample if arriving early. Overall, Thai Boat 89 is celebrated for its delicious food, especially pork belly, and welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for many who want authentic Thai flavors.

Best pork belly in the Twin Cities!

Nothing hits the spot like authentic Thai food from Thai Boat 89! We had their crispy pork belly, Pad Ka Pao, and fresh spring rolls — every bite was perfection 😋🔥 Definitely a must-try if you love bold flavors and that perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory!

When my family and I went to Thai Boat 89, we literally ordered the whole menu. Everything was good. My top 3 dishes was Pad See Ew, Pad Kra Pow, and Boat noodle.
Sorry if I misspelled any of the dishes.
