Located on the right corner of the Shady Oak Strip near Campiello. Serving authentic Laotian Southeast Asian cuisine to our midwesterners. Our cuisine introduces traditional Laotian dishes as well as incorporating Thai, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodian and Chinese favorite dishes.
Since it’s rated high, why not try. Very disappointing experience. Food was underwhelming, the noodles in the pad thai weren’t cooked how it should be, way too chewy. The servers were awful and forgot about us the whole time. Have to flag them down to get their attention. Better pad thai options in the TC. The interior needs an uplift. Will not be coming back.
Yum, this place is delish! My husband & I came around 6pm on a Wed, and it was medium busy (we could sit right away, but still a decent number of people there). There was only 1 server/checkout person, and it seemed that they could've used one more person to help serve. We ordered the fried egg rolls with pork, Kao Poon & Panang (not pictured), both with chicken. The egg rolls were fantastic! The noodles in my Kao Poon were a bit mushy, though, & my husband thought the chicken in his Panang was dry, but boy did the broth in both make up for it! They were so delicious, with just a hint of spiciness to them. And the portions were big! We ate all we could & both of us had leftovers for another full meal each. We'll definitely be back!
Overall happy with the lunch I ordered! The host greeted me upon arrival and I chose to sit by the window. The environment was welcoming with a fire pit and greenery.
The Pad Pak sauce was surprisingly sweet. Not unpleasant but not needed. I was looking for the wok flavor but couldn’t find it easily.
The Rad Na sauce was also sweet. The noodles were difficult to eat with a fork. I have to say this was not my favorite dish.
My favorite dish hands down was the sea bass curry! Delicious! Flavorful, balanced, fish cooked well!
Proteins: cooked perfectly!
Spice: I ordered every dish at ‘medium’ spice and was perfect for me. If you don’t like spice, be sure to tell them that and order ‘mild’ spice level.
All in all I will return for more curry and try more variety of dishes in other categories, including the pork belly and fried rice.
I was a little bit disappointed in the food. I felt like everything was on the sweeter side. The crying tiger had a weird beef smell, the cream cheese was too sweet for my liking, the pork belly had no flavor and the sauce to go with it could have been better. The only thing I enjoyed out of everything I ordered was the spring roll combo meat!!!!! The sauce was so good!
Don't let the prices dissuade you from coming here. You might pay a couple dollars more per entree than your typical place, but the flavor and quantity of the food more than make up for it. Probably my favorite pad thai I've ever had, and their curries are super flavorful. Ambiance is nice, windows overlooking the nearby park. Best Asian food anywhere near Eden Prairie in my opinion.
Soooo good. When I’m craving Laos food I go here. Authentic, almost like my auntie cooked it. The SaiGok sausage with rice is my favorite. As well as the Khao Poon!
Pho was middle of the road. Great staff and service!
Looks like they are remodeling.

The food was amazing.
Food was good but really expensive. I got appetizers only. 2 spring rolls, chicken satay and mango sweet rice for $40. Too expensive.
Came here to show some love to the wonderful owner of this place from josh video

Really great spot got pad Thai, drunken noodles, and pad see sew. All were delicious, would recommend to anyone and will be back next time I’m in the area.
I LOVE the drunken noodles here (chicken & “hot” options), the friendly staff and generous portions are a plus. The food is as expected, plenty of heat, but not overbearing with my options (if you are sensitive to heat, there are lower heat options). The leftovers often become my lunch the next day. This is my go-to place for Thai food, even when I have closer options to my workplace. For a quick and easy after-work dinner, they just do it better. HAVEN, keep it up!
Saturday night was my first visit to Haven. Excellent food, generous portions, great service and nice atmosphere with reasonable prices. I'll definitely return and can highly recommend this restaurant.
Really enjoyed this place. The staff really made us feel welcome and the food was exceptional. Very highly recommended.
Legit
I’m Thai and grew up in Thailand so I know that authentic Thai food is almost non existent in Minnesota. Thai food has alot of variations but I love the Laos- influenced Thai! The Laab, Crying Tiger, Laos papaya salad are legit! Their pad thai and pad see ew have chewy noodles and good flavor!
We were the only customers in the store for dinner on a Friday night. The place looks like it's under construction with lights dimmed, cardboard boxes on the floor and so on. Women's restroom was dirty and run down. We ordered Chicken Satay, Tom Kha soup and Pad Thai with chicken. It was pretty average and nothing too remarkable that would make us want to return. Our server was polite and friendly. Would be better for take out.
Since I moved to Eden Prairie, I desperately needed a place to get my Southeast Asian food fix being a SEA girl. Before the Asia mall opened in EP, I was able to locate this gem. Their Lao Papaya salad is one of my favorites! As well as their curry, pork belly, and their pho! They don't have a lot of choices for their pho as there's only 1 option, but it was perfect for me.
One thing I will have to comment about the atmosphere is that it is loaded with flies in the building. The whole time I am eating I am fighting flies from eating my food. I would recommend the owners fix this to their best ability.
Overall I love this place and the food is just delicious.
Awesome place to visit for dinner.
Wow! This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The staff is incredible. They are all so attentive and friendly. The best Pho in the south metro. The Haven Jerky, Sai Gok Sausage, and the pork belly are a must try. I will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu because they know how to do it right. Thank you!!!
My new go to spot when in the area for work. Best egg rolls I've had in a long, long time. Pad Thai was phenomenal.
Delicious
Great food, fast service, nice dining area, fantastic service staff, great owner who gives back to help the local community.
❤️❤️❤️
2 stars to be really nice
this is not a Thai restaurant, sorry!
flys all over
rice was hard and old
pad thai was very gooey
calamari was extremely oily
soup was just ok
lamb was just ok
party napkins?
party table towel?
never again
Really good food --- and great veggie options!

Great service! The owners were extremely kind and friendly and gave my friends and I a bag of candy. The mango sticky rice we ordered was absolutely delicious!! Definitely coming again!!
Absolutely amazing! Don’t miss it!
I've never eaten there, but the fact that these guys have given out a thousand dollars of food for free for the homeless made me come here and give them 5 stars. Amazing people, humanity is not lost. If we work together we can heal this planet. Just show some love to everyone, even your worst enemy. Love heal all wounds.
Supper amazing people and service and delicious food 😋 thank you will be back!
Great service, super friendly, delicious food! We have gotten takeout before and it's always been great! I wanted to eat some good Thai for my birthday so we dined in. It was a clean and quiet atmosphere. We sat in the windowed area overlooking a walking path, woods, and lake and it was lovely. The curry (all of them) is always wonderful and my unadventurous kids loved the egg rolls and pad see ew. We even got a bonus mango sticky rice for my birthday and it was so good! My go-to Thai restaurant.
Reallly bad food. It’s not even authentic Thai. Gave me some red chicken satay and really bad sweet masammam curry. Don’t know who gave them 4.8. May be they serve halal meat. Pathetic food. Avoid it any cost.
I ordered to go on 8/29/24. I got an order of vegetable egg rolls, tom yum soup and a thai tea. The food was absolutely amazing and the customer service was great. I would definitely recommend.
My husband was stuck at work so I looked this place up, saw the good rating, and asked him to get takeout. It was easily some of the worst takeout we have ever had. There was absolutely no vegetables, mostly filler of tofu. Egg rolls looked burnt and were just noodles, nothing else. Everything else that was in the dishes (the few things) was disintegrating. I have no idea how this place got such a good rating. Why would you serve people filler crap and not make a meal?! We won't be back. Still hungry.
Just watched these amazing owners handing out free food and donating $500 to the homeless. Pls support these wonderful people. Ken from Australia
The first time I visited we met the owner who served us himself. Amazing service, very chill, zen, yet casually modern atmosphere. Loved the meat options and our friend enjoyed the vegetarian options. I ordered through Door dash yesterday and was not disappointed at all. I've tried curries, soups and the rice, so far. Definitely recommend! Luv the spice level options !
Tried Haven for the first time based on great online reviews. We ordered the Rad Na and the sausage appetizer. The sausage was very tasty but overcooked - and I was surprised to receive 3 sausage links and nothing else in an appetizer! The Rad Na was overpriced and nothing like what we've had other places - it was very soupy, had barely any chicken or veggies, and was overall very bland. The restaurant was completely empty (about 1:30 PM), and very bare and unwelcoming. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. I might give it another try since others seem to have had much better experiences, but I'm sad to say this time was disappointing.
Hidden gem, V was a great server. Food portions were generous and flavors were rich. card or cash only with cash discounts on prices. Great options for genuine Asian food if you work or live near by I highly recommend!!
Pho broth was good and has plenty of meatballs and some beef. You can't get it with tripe or tenden, though.
The food was very good, but what stood out to me was their service. They walked me through their spice chart over the phone very well, and then were quick to correct an error while ordering. The order was either misheard, or entered incorrectly which can happen when ordering over the phone. I do not fault them at all. They did not try to blame me, and fired the correct order in a few short minutes and I was on my way. Next time I am back in town, I will definitely be giving them more business.
Good was surprisingly good. Chicken Pad Thai was very delicious and perfect amount of spicy. Fried rice was also better than many other Asian restaurants in MN. Only thing they need is to better the atmosphere in the restaurant. Add some music and decor to make it more inviting maybe.
The food was amazing and the portions were huge. I got the vegetarian curry with tofu and there was enough food for four meals. It was delicious, decadent, and flavorful! The staff was lovely too. I’m already planning my next visit!
UPDATE: It’s been over a year since I first visited and left a review, and this place has become my favorite restaurant for so many reasons. The food is delicious and portions are huge every single time. The staff is friendly and truly value their customers. I’ve brought friends and family, and everyone agrees there’s just something so special about Haven!
This is my favorite Thai in the metro! The food is beyond Phenomenal and the service is fantastic. The pad thai is freaking insane with flavor and they make it to the perfect spice level as ordered consistently. The tom yum is Amazing also!
Our dinners were very good,with fresh vegetables and seasoned just right.We will be back.👍
Haven’t eaten here yet but I saw them on YouTube they seem like nice people
Any place that’s feeds the homeless is a five star place. Doing gods work.
For helping your community with Josh, I have to give 5 stars. I wish I were there because your food looks delicious and I love supporting generous businesses that provide for those in need when they can. Thank you
Seriously the best egg rolls I've ever had in my LIFE... Maybe one of the best things I've ever eaten, period - oh my goodness. I got the veggie egg rolls and the my parents had the pad Thai -which was also incredible. We'll definitely be back!!
Wonderfully tasting food! Curry was excellent as was stir fry. Fried tofu was fine - not what I would get again. My concern started with me and my husband’s stomach cramping the next day. I won’t go into details but the consequences the next day were not worth the good taste.
Beautiful people with beautiful hearts and souls making AMAZING food and spreading God’s love 🥰🥰💗💗💕💕. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
This place was amazing. I had Souladda as my server. She was amazing. Great Experience. Food was 5 star. Highly recommend.
I love this place the pad thai is so flavorful as well as the green and red curry, highly recommended!
Beautiful spot, and the owner is very kind and helpful. I came here today to get a quick bite with my two children. We ate outside and they were very accommodating. We ate the Pho with pork belly and green tea, all of which were delicious! Would absolutely recommend coming here.
Extremely happy about this place! The food is delicious and great prices as well I would recommend it here
I never had their food, but this is what happens when you help Josh help the homeless. You'll get five star reviews all the time from all his followers to definitely so support for small business that acts bigger than a huge corporate franchise
Huge part of the community with love and amazing service. Thanks for all your work with Josh & the homeless.
Thanks for supporting the homeless community with your donations of food and helping a member of the community continue to work towards changing his life around. I am glad Josh stepped into your business to order food. Y’all are helping, giving back and doing what I wish I can do full time. God bless!
Super
Thank you so much for helping Josh feed the homeless. We pray your business as well as your sister’s business both grow fast and in abundance.
Picked up my Doordash order and regretting not eating there. Seems like a nice place to eat at with the glass windows in the back of the restaurant
The food was very good! Good flavor and spice! Pad See Ew was so delicious- highly reccomend. The actual restaurant, however was a different story. The floor was so greasy it was slick. Both myself and a gentleman who came in 5 minutes after us (and actually fell) slipped on the grimy floor. There was food on the floor that looked like it had been there for at least a few hours. I observed one waitress maybe two, so maybe they were short staffed. Either way, the floor is a serious issue as it is unsafe for both staff and patrons.
I ordered through the manager and she helped me with the menu. Very kind and friendly 😊
U guys have a heart of gold helping josh feed the homeless
I ordered takeout tofu pad thai for right as they opened at 11 and got it with lots of small burnt charcoal chunks, pictured are the ones I've found in the leftovers after I paid attention. The cream cheese wontons were pretty good and affordable though.
My wife and I were over at Bryant Lake Regional Park and decided to stop over here to pick up some lunch. Everything we had was delicious! We'll definitely be back.
I just watched a video of this establishment giving out food to the homeless. Please support this establishment as we need more kind people like them.
great food. Chicken pad Thai best in the area.
The food here is SO food! We got their panang curry, pad kra pow, rad na, and Nam khao. We were really happy with everyone and very pleasantly surprised! If you're craving Lao food with good atmosphere and great service, I definitely recommend!
Take out was promised at 6:57. One hour after that promised time I am still waiting and can not get a straight answer as to when it will be ready. No apology. No customer service. The only reason I ordered here was for the proximity. (The food is 5/10 in my opinion.) Shame on me.
Lots of upset people waiting for their order in the waiting area. Save yourself the frustration and don’t order take out from here. (Again, the food isn’t even that great.)
Great quality food!! Highly recommend!
They gave food out to the homeless 10/5 these people are angels from heaven I can’t thank them enough for fulfilling Gods plan
Thank you - from a proud father
The best filled with loving giving owners!
THE OWNER HAS A HEART OF GOLD! 💗💗💗 Is helpful to the community.
Their mild spicy is actually very spicy
OWNERS with Hearts of GOLD! Beautiful souls.
Best place, kind people, great food
Wonderful people! Out there making a difference. You are deeply appreciated ♥️
Don’t usually provide feedback but I feel this place deserves love. Saw them on Facebook.
everyone here is always the nicest, though the price can be off putting, I personally think it’s worth it for sure!
This place deserves so much good reviews food is amazing and the video of them giving food and support to help homeless and less fortunate is amazing
Best food in town.
This place is solid. Food is authentic, flavorful and spicy if you want it to be. Portions seem generous. Atmosphere a touch uninspiring but it’s a strip mall.
I ordered a green curry with tofu. The tofu tasted terrible, and I didn't like the curry either
Maybe it was a bad day but the white rice and fried rice was severely overcooked and mush. We threw it away. Very disappointing!! The curry was overly oily as well. We liked the pad thai and egg rolls. We will NOT be going back.
I recently visited a Thai/Laos restaurant recommended by a woman who did my nails; she also works as a waitress there. With my family having owned a Thai and Laos restaurant, I'm quite familiar with the cuisine.
I ordered the Laos version of papaya salad and sai gok (Laos sausage). The papaya salad was exceptional—authentic and flavorful. It came with a side of cabbage, jerky, and sticky rice, making it a complete meal on its own. I asked for two Thai chili and I’d equate that to be medium Thai spicy. Despite my initial hesitation about the price, I found it to be worth every penny. I would definitely order it again.
Overall, the dishes were legit and brought back memories of home-cooked meals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Thai and Laos flavors!
Amazing people and amazing food highly recommend
Beautiful atmosphere overlooking a quiet pond, friendly and attentive staff, and amazing food. A nice, tucked away gem.
Owner has the heart of Gold! Highly recommend!
Great street noodle dishes. Easily a favorite go-to Thai place. I enjoyed their Pad See Eew and Rad Na.
Thank you for being wonderful people!
The restaurant is undergoing remodeling and the tables and chairs are like in an average cafeteria
There was only one man at the cashier to handle the takeout pick ups and he was not a professional waiter and a little grumpy
The food made us very thirsty afterwards.
The wine and beer selection is very limited, no cider at all.
They had only one selection of bag teas
Delicious food and amazing staff : )
Food is good and hospitality is top notch 🫶🏼 thank you
Very nice people and good service but the food was terrible!
The nicest people and excellent quality food.
Seriously the best Pad Thai I've had in a long time.
Food is very fresh
10/10 the best curry I've had in a while
Thank you for blessing those in need
Messed my order TWICE in row, messed up my sister's order. To be clear, they brought COMPLETELY different dishes to us🤦🏿
I ended up waiting nearly 40 mins to eat when everyone at my table was nearly finished. I invited them all out to eat and couldn't have been more embarrassed. I can forgive mistakes but the clear lack of communication between the cooks and the waiters was ABYSMAL.🤌🏽
This was almost a month ago and I still haven't been back or forgiven em. Y'all night shift really dropped it for me.
This business has a heart of gold. 5/5
Food is great, by far my favorite Asian food in MN! Service does their best, but seems very under staffed! Egg rolls hitttttttttt!
Really friendly service and delicious food!
They helped the homeless and gave $500 to who needed help. Do support them please.
Went to a business event and stumbled upon this place, we ate here for the first time and it was my cousin birthday. Their 🔥 🥵 Lao papaya was bomb, and curry fired rice and pad sew ew. Fermentation beef with papaya and sticky rice was yummy. Will definitely come back for their papaya, taste like when you eat back home, Lao style.
Amazing restaurant and really nice food, thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant Curry fried rice is a must try for vegetarians
Owner has such a big heart. Great customer service.
Amazing food! This is a must try!
Great food and amazing owners who cares for the community!!
Amazing owners with a pure heart of gold!
Amazing food and staff will continue to come here
The gentleman serving us tonight was awesome! Attentive and friendly. The food was really good. We had the calamari, Rad Na noodles, and the crying tiger entree. Would definitely recommend any of these items especially the calamari.
Single small beer costs$12, appetizers not worth cost, quality and taste is bad, overall not at all worth
Unbelievable.
Okay honestly I am extremely impressed. My boyfriend went to grab us food yesterday. We got Sai Gok (AMAZING), Panang curry, eggrolls, sticky rice, and Nam Khao . I am born in Lao and I am part thai as well. I am extremely picky when going to Laotian and Thai restaurants because it’s rarely to my liking. This all tasted so amazing, pretty authentic too. The next day we ordered delivery because we wanted to have Haven for lunch again haha. 5 star from us! Keep up the amazing work!!
Overall happy with the lunch I ordered! The host greeted me upon arrival and I chose to sit by the window. The environment was welcoming with a fire pit and greenery.
The Pad Pak sauce was surprisingly sweet. Not unpleasant but not needed. I was looking for the wok flavor but couldn’t find it easily.

All in all I will return for more curry and try more variety of dishes in other categories, including the pork belly and fried rice.
Great food! Owner was very respectful!
First time I order from here there was no one there on a Friday night. I was worried the quality of food would reflect the lack of customers. My god I was wrong. The pad Thai was the best I’ve ever had and I get that dish any time it’s on a menu. My wife got the veggie curry with chicken, and we were smiling while we ate it was so delicious. These guys are the best. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.
Highly, highly recommended. Food is delicious and loved the friendly atmosphere! This is seriously a must!
Nice food and nice people!
People here have the heart of gold.
So kind! An amazing place.
