This is my ultimate favorite St. Paul restaurant. Don’t miss out on this gem. Menu highlights for me are Pad Krapao, Laab Isaan, curry fried rice and Pad Woon Sen! 😋“

“Myself and my fiancé are from Northern Minnesota and were there in July of last year. There were a couple of minor issues with our visit that day, but the food was delightful. Our server suggested that the manager may want to speak with me in regard to our experience, given the nature of the issues that occurred, so I left my business card and honestly forgot about it, as it wasn't that big of a deal to me. Some time later I received a letter at my office from the manager (I found out later that she's actually the owner.) She sent me a check to refund the cost of our meal, along with a very nice note of explanation and apology. The refund was way above and beyond what was necessary or expected. She took full responsibility for the issues that we had experienced at her establishment that day in July. She also asked for another opportunity to serve us the next time that we were in the area. This was a very classy (but unexpected) response to what I would consider to be something that wasn't that big of a deal to me, but it clearly was to her. Given the high standards that she clearly demonstrated for her establishment, there was no doubt that I would honor her request for a second opportunity. This last Saturday we were finally in town again and were able to visit the Basil Café for a second time. We had an absolutely delightful experience in every regard! After our meal, I asked the pleasant young lady that was checking on us if the manager happened to be in on a Saturday. Well, that turned out to be her! Her name is Tiffany, and she is the owner of the Basil Café. I introduced myself to her and she not only remembered the letter that she had sent and the small issues that occurred on our previous visit, but she also remembered my full name from memory!!! We had a very nice conversation and she sent us home with some extra spring rolls that we enjoyed at home later that evening. Tiffany, I also run a business, and the way that you treated us and handled that situation is an impressive lesson in customer service and leadership. You didn't just recover us as customers, you created 2 raving fans of your business through your actions and demeanor along with your wonderful cuisine. You easily could have brushed off the initial experience that we had last year. And, while we weren't upset about it, we likely wouldn't have thought to ever return to your establishment if you had. Instead, you held yourself and your wonderful restaurant to a higher standard, and you made 2 raving fans that will return again and again and will recommend your establishment at every opportunity. Tiffany, thank you for a wonderful dining experience and thank you for a refreshing attitude and demonstration of personal responsibility that you so impressively gave. That level of service and attention to detail is rare in our world today. BTW, the Drunken Noodles are delicious and so are the Spring rolls. We will see you again soon. - Jake & E.“

“Food was ok for the price. Boat noodle had flavor and plenty of meat. Special pho(seafood) was a little bland and lacked flavor. Noodle portion to broth felt little. I would suggest using a smaller bowl to match the portions. Spring roll was presented well and fresh. Frog legs had a lot of flavor. I would suggest if you're eating here to get the more traditional dishes and stay away from the dishes you can get at other places, like the pho. Zero wait time and food came out within 10 mins and was fresh.“

“Food was great - collectively had the curry basil fried rice, pineapple curry, pineapple fried rice, and pad thai. All delicious.

Would recommend reservation as it is a smaller restaurant. Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating as much as possible for us showing up without a reservation.“

“Great food and friendly staff. Come support our neighbors and their local business by enjoying a tasty meal!“

“The tofu red curry was wonderful, excellent spring rolls, and also really good cream cheese wontons (I'm picky about these, they can be too sweet... but these were just right). Everything was very fresh and flavorful.“

“Pad Thai and spring rolls.“

“The best Lao food I have had at a restaurant in a long time! I was impressed the first time I tried and have been ever since!“

“Best Thai food I can find in Minnesota. Favorites are the boat noodles and the Khao Mun Gai (chicken with rice). You're doing something right if you got me ordering something simple like chicken and rice at a restaurant lol. It's so satisfying, flavorful, and amazing.“

“Delectable flavors and a generous portion for both entrées. I highly recommend.KARTA Thai for quality flavorful food without MSG. The decor is pleasant with much natural light. We will definitely return.“

“Been there twice, Barbara and I LOVED it. Great food great people- Don't miss this one!“

“Some of the best Thai food in St. Paul, and very warm and friendly staff!“

“Not sure how this place flew under the radar . Chicken Pad Se Ew was awesome. I personally enjoy broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli and had no problem with the substitution. Also ordered the Spicy Chicken Wings that hit hard with spice and flavor. I want to try it all. This is definitely going into the rotation.“

“Delicious food and good service. Highly Recommend egg rolls, wontons and Pad Thai (chicken)!“

“Great job! We had the pineapple rice with pork, red curry with chicken, lo mein with shrimp and some apps - fantastic!“

“Amazing food, kind staff, reasonable prices“

“Good food, good service, good price.“

“Very reasonable and everything we ordered was amazing. Definitely check them out!“

“On’s is the best Thai food in the Twin Cities. The spices in the dish were perfect. I think it was the best Pad Se Ew I’ve ever had, and it was easy to order vegan. Also a great place if you want your food really spicy!“

“Once again this place is incredible. I ordered the lao papaya salad with salted black crab on Wednesday and I can only have two bites a day because it's so spicy but they've been the best 8 bites of my life“

“Best papaya!!! I could not stop eating it!“

“The husband took our 4 year old and 7 year old to eat dinner there today without me. He ordered 1 kiddie bowl of pho and a 2nd kiddie bowl of broth and meatballs only. They charged him for 2 adult phos (16.00 each= 30 total) ontop of the regular entres he ordered (75.46 total). We've been dining there almost once a week for the past few months spending close to 100 each time. Very disappointed and show no value to loyal customers. Never returning.“

“Good food and service! “East Side Local!”“

“I am not in the area to visit this business but if you are or passing through Minnesota stop in. Tell them Josh sent you! They are kind and caring about their community and gave free meals to the Homeless. So please give them a visit. *I heard the food is a #10 too! Thanks Kong’s Kitchen!“

“Best Tempura ever and the Rice Noodles Amazing but that Mango Sticky Rice was to DIE FOR 💥❤️“

“Muy buen servicio, empleados muy atentos.“

“Best pork belly in the Twin Cities!“

“Awesome service, good food and overall a fun place. Large menu and also have a lot of Gluten Free items and are indicated on main menu. Will definitely go back! So many more dishes I want to try!“

“Friendly Service, Fun Atmosphere, AMAZING FOOD EVERY TIME!!!“

“the whole experience of hot pot was great! parking was a bit hard and I wish the plates were smaller to fit all foods on the table. I love the sauces, one is spicy/ savory and one is acidic/sweet. great amount of meat! the owner suggest the tricolor so it was good as well. would definitely come back!“

“The food and service was good. The only complaint was that my appetizer came after my main dish. Other than that, I’d go back.“

“This place's foods taste very good!!! I love their boat noodles, Saikrok (may not be on the menu, so u have to tell them u want it), and their other foods! This place may be small, but don't let it doubt u, because this place has the best boat noodle in town compared to other restaurants I've been to. I love it. I am a returning customer always! 🥰♥️“

“Authentic Delicious food. Does not lack flavors. I’m a big fan of their boat noodle,lak nak & especially cream cheese wontons!“

“Their thai boat for me wasn't good they tasted like package noodles. What was great and probably the best in MN to me is their raw larb. They use real pepper, not dry pepper, not chili flakes, real authentic cayenne pepper. 1 out of 5 places I've been to will use real pepper and not just that, they put mint leaves and lemon grass also. A lot of places just throw in cilantro and green onion, maybe red onion TOO. Their lao papaya is good, full of flavor and spice if you ask for it. I would say 4.5/5 overall as my main interest was their thai boat which wasn't for me. Service was great too.“

“My daughter and I came here for dinner and ordered cream cheese puffs, pan-fried wontons, house fried rice, chow fun, and pepper steak stir-fry. The cream cheese puffs were a standout—easily 5/5, the best we’ve had. Everything else was decent but average, around 3/5. Would go back.“

“Highly recommend the pad Thai, the noodles are juicy with the flat noodles. The tom yum soup is one of the best soups, it’s spicy but full of flavor. The koh pua is phenomenal.

This is my go to place whenever I stop by to Minnesota.“

“Great people and great food“
