“Haven’t been here in a long time and picked it up last nite. Highly recommend! All dishes we got were fresh and delicious! My daughter has celiac and sam said anything on the menu can be gluten free, she loved the chicken and broccoli and he even packaged it separately to ensure it was safe for her. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing service, quick and delish!“

“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.“

“Amazing food, kind staff, reasonable prices“

“I've been meaning to try for the last year and finally stopped by and had lunch. Ordered the Samosa and the Pumpkin curry and vietnamese coffee. All were really delicious. I will definitely be back.

Vegetarian options: There were several dishes that could be made vegetarian as you can choose your protein.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. It is wheelchair friendly, but I wasn't able to check the bathroom situation.“

“Curry fried Rice - I'm calling it. It's the best rice I've ever had. Seriously seriously impressive.“

“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!“

“I haven't been able to find a better place for massamun curry in the cities than here. Always delicious and always made super spicy (which I love.)“

“Great place as a no frills Thai restaurant. Unbeatable prices and portions. Flavor and texture were on point for their pad Thai and drunken noodles. Their peach smoothie was delicious too. Service is definitely not their strong point, but wasn't expecting it from a hole in the wall restaurant.“

“Pad Thai and spring rolls.“

“Awesome refreshing Papaya Salad and Spring Rolls, will superb dipping sauce.“

“Boat noodles are 🔥 and I’m not a big fan of boat noodles.“

“The food was excellent!! I loved the Fried Rice with broccoli and veggies and Shrimp. Also, Phô w/ meatballs, simple and full of flavor! Springrolls, to die for! It was all very good. Very nice and clean inside. Definitely this neighborhoods hidden secret. My wife and I both loved it! We will be back, hopefully ery soon!“

“First time ordering from Ban Thai Restaurant. We did take-out and took them about 30-40 mins to get our food ready.Customer service - my husband went in to order and he felt the service was not the greatest, but it is what it is.I am always searching for the best drunken noodles or better known as Pad Kee Mao. When I saw that Ban Thai make Pad Kee Mao, I had to give them a try. So far it’s good. The flavor is different from others that I’ve had. Their seasonings is their own. But I enjoyed it. The noodles were soft, just how I like them. The only downfall is their pork was a little bit on the drier side. I rate it 4/5 stars. Wouldn’t mind ordering it again tho.Their Bangkok Spring Rolls were okay. I order it with pork. Maybe next time I’ll do their shrimp instead. The sauce was okay too. I had to make my own for me to enjoy it more. They really fill it up with veggies and herbs. I love that it was packed with veggies haha. I rate it 3/5.Beef fried rice was bomb!! My husband thought it had too much black pepper, but once I mixed up the fried rice, you can barely taste just the black pepper. I love that they cut up the beef in thick slices. It’s soft and flavorful. Not too salty. It’s perfect. I rate it 5/5.The cream cheese wonton was not a hit for my little family. My kids love cream cheese wonton, but this wasn’t it for them. It had a good amount of cream cheese filling. But the wrap was more on the soggy soft side. Usually the cream cheese wontons are crunchy. But if you like your wraps soft then maybe this is for you. I rate it 2/5Chicken wings were also not a big hit for us. It’s your typical basic oven baked seasoned with salt n black pepper chicken wings. I mean that’s what I tasted when I took a bite of it. I wanted more flavor to it.Overall, I wouldn’t mind giving this place a second chance. Maybe dine in next time and try their pad thai, pho, and curry selections.“

“I like eating some of the foods in their menu. Some foods tastes good. However, I wouldn't go there for pho, but I would go there for cooked dishes that's served on plates, because those taste better than the pho's. They have good customer service over there when I went.“

“This restaurant is the best“

“Delicious food! I went for lunch with a group of 3. I got the spicy fish, which was lightly breaded in a delicious sauce and I loved it. The others got pad Thai (the best version I’ve tried) and Tom Kah Gai (which I wanted to bathe in). I would love to go back again.“

“I needed eggrolls for a potluck so I went in when they opened. They were so kind and willing to help. In 20 minutes, they whipped together a half tray for me and I wasn’t late for my meeting. I am so appreciative of their great customer service. I will definitely go to K’s Kitchen and Deli for delicious Hmong food and recommend them highly!“

“Typically go to the Rochester location so thought we would give a try. The food was great but the ambience needs a huge update. It made us question is we made a bad choice to dine in. While eating at one of the 6 tables people we continuously coming in and out to pick up delivery orders behind our seats. Again, the food was up to par but service was slow. Only 6 people total in the place eating while we were there. My husband was served his food first and I waited another 7 mins for mine to come out. That is kind of weird. He didn’t want to eat without me but wanted to eat his food while it was hot. I’m 50/50 on going back to the St Paul location to dine in“

“fantastic food.. had the pad Thai, fried rice and chicken with vegetables.. everyone enjoyed all three items.. highly recommend“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Muy buen servicio, empleados muy atentos.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best Thai food in the cities!!!“

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

“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! 🥰♥️“

“Great people and great food“

“It has been years since my wife and I have dined in at DC2. The hype after its first opening seems to have died down. Usually when asked about DC2's food, folks seem to have mixed reviews. So because we were around in the area yesterday, we decided to give it a try to see what has changed.The menu seems about the same, with a few less items. The biggest change is the prices, which definitely is dollars more than it use to. Understanding with economy/inflation, pricing up is eventually going to happen. But is it worth really spending about $5-$10 on dishes where you can go a few blocks over to Hmong Village for cheaper?We ordered the combination pad thai (big noodles), papaya salad (Thai med spicy), and hli xiab (fried pork with tamarind sauce). I was always a big fan of the pad thai sauce from DC2, which seems to be the same as I remember it. However, the noodles are a bit thicker, like chow fun noodles. It was soft, feels homemade, and paired very well with the sauce & meats. The papaya salad was not overly sauced, and tasted very fresh. It had just the right amount of spiciness, sweetness, and sourness for both my wife and I. The hli xiab was a dish we have not tried before, and did very much enjoy. You pick a choice of meat which is stir fried with a sweet tamarind sauce accompanied with bell peppers and onions. There is an option to add spiciness, which we did do. We chose pork which was first fried, then cooked with the sauce and veggies. If you love sweet like in orange chicken, then this is the dish for you!The service was great, much better then I remember it. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was attentive. They also have a call system button now which you can click to ask for something or add things too.Overall, I was very impressed with DC2 and will come again. To go back on my question, I would rather spend few more dollars here then go to Hmong Village.“

“We thought their food was very delicious the service was great they were polite very nice place to eat. We would recommend this and we will go there again thank you so much for your hospitality. ?“
