This was the first time we ordered from Valerie`s.....NEVER again!!! We order chicken chow mein. What we got, a container with vegetables and chicken, no sauce no gravy, nothing. And the cream cheese wontons had gravy to dip them in instead of a sweet and sour sauce. Horrible.

Love the traditional Asian, Thai, Chinese food. Made from fresh vegetables and worth the wait. Kung Pao chicken and Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup (curry) are two of our favorites.

I don't understand why this place is never busy when we visit because the food is SO GOOD. Highly recommend the pad thai and fried rice.
The parking lot could stand a cleaning as well as the inside, but the food and service are top notch.

The Pad Thai and Curry with coconut are my favorite! Love this place
I came into the restaurant to order food for takeout. I ordered shrimp fried rice, shrimp lomein, and vegetarian egg rolls. I ordered the rice and lomein spicy. While I was waiting the owner commented on how all the food was made fresh. I told her I don't eat out much. When I got home, I was ready to eat some good food. I have to say this, "this was the most disgusting food I have every ordered at any restaurant! The food was cold, both dishes had no smell at all and no spicy taste, it was bland with no taste at all!!! Both dishes were brown with very limp vegetables. The only thing that was fresh was the eggrolls. They have to be deep fried right then otherwise they will not be crisp; they would be soggy! I paid $30.00 plus a tip. I have never posted any reviews online, but I knew I had to do this review because what was done was so blatant! I called Valerie and told her what my food was like. I ask if I could exchange the food for an order of eggrolls. She agreed to one order of eggrolls for the food. I brought the food with me so she could see and smell for herself. I had her smell it and ask what she thought. She told me with a sheepish look on her face that everyone likes it that way. I asked her to taste it, but she wouldn't. I told her she put absolutely no spice in at all. Some restaurants were creative during the pandemic making their restaurants into stores and other creative things; some did not. I noticed on another post, that a woman said her food was bland and she found a hair in it. I think she gives old food to unsuspecting customers. Shame on you for giving me that disgusting food. You deserve this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I live in Mahtomedi. We decided to try this place. Outside of the building was absolutely filled with overgrown weeds and trash. We decided to still go in. Half of the “restaurant “ is a pile of stuff that belongs in a garage. But where this really takes a turn, is with child labor laws. Our waitress was maybe 10!? She was a sweet little girl but why is she working??? Also, there were 2 other little girls laying on the floor behind the cash register area. One kept coughing the entire time we were in there. The other one was pouring cough syrup into the cap for her. Our 10 yo waitress also rung us up. The tables were dirty, one booth had children’s toys in it, and there were plants everywhere trying camouflage the messy hoarding of piles of items that should not be laying around a restaurant (OSHA). The food was just ok. Lots of oil. It was hard to be there and get past what we were seeing. I would not go back and have thought about making a police report for those kids.

Very good food. If you're looking to have traditional Americanized "Chinese" food you might be disappointed because this is fresh entrees made by a wonderful woman from Thailand and her family. Chicken pad Thai was the star of our meal nice flavor with fresh bok Choi, carrots and sprouts. Forgot to photograph the full entrees which had quite a bit on the plate. Our dinner was a very pleasant experience.
Amazing food! Will definitely be coming back.
