Diner Review №1

I have a love-hate relationship with Thai Express. Initially, the food was exceptional, but over time, the quality has declined, leading to an inconsistent dining experience. I've encountered incorrect orders, and at times, the dishes lack flavor. Yet, when prepared correctly, the food can be truly remarkable. My most recent order a few weeks ago included raw orange chicken, which was disappointing. Dining here feels like a gamble. On the plus side, the environment is super clean, but the employees tend to be disengaged, which, while okay for me, may detract from the overall customer service.

Overall, I would say: try your luck!

Diner Review №2

The food is amazing, I love how fresh it is. Cooked right in front of you! My favorite thing they do is the weekly special for only $10. You get a whole meal with a drink and a roll! Vey nice place with very good food.

Diner Review №3

First time at Thai Express in Maple Grove. Food was OUTSTANDING!! Definitely will be back & will tell my family and friends about this place. EXCELLENT service also, I was given a sample of the curries to try. Glad I stopped!!

Diner Review №4

Ordered online - only took 15 minutes. When I got there no one was at the counter ( and no other customers at all in the entire restaurant )and when someone saw me from the back they ignored me.
Asked for little spice but the food was so spicy I couldn’t even eat it.
I ordered chicken fried rice and chicken pad Thai - there was about 3 small pieces of chicken in each container.
Now I know why the restaurant was empty. Extremely disappointed.

Diner Review №5

Mongolian beef didn't even have enough beef. Filled with mushrooms. Nothing close to mongolian beef. Couldn't eat it.
I also ordered red curry . It's not thai for sure.
I don't want to discourage but will not recommend it..

Diner Review №6

Good prices

Diner Review №7

Food was excellent! Service was top notch as well. Thai Express catered in for one of our work lunches and it was a hit! Authentic and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №8

best pad thai I've ever had

Edit:
Drunken Noodles: Portion was great. Ordered with beef. Flavor was awful and bitter. I'll either need to throw it away or give it away.

Pad Thai - Special: Portion was good. Ordered with chicken. Flavor was bland. Not worth eating.

I had the non-special pad thai recently with both shrimp and beef, and that was amazing, so this experience was disappointing.

Diner Review №9

The Hispanic people who work at the Thai restaurant don't speak English. The veggies were under cooked and there wasn't enough sauce. Won't go back.

Diner Review №10

The food is truly horrible. It’s not Thai at all. This is Chinese food sprayed with rotten pineapple juice. I have never eaten anything so awful, we threw most of it away.

Diner Review №11

Pad thai was bland and tasted burnt

Diner Review №12

Just read the other comments. Enough said. Rubber beef, rubber chicken, bland tasting, and the spring roll was like a burrito just fell apart. I had to use a plate and make it into salad, is that how you eat a spring roll? Go to Hong Thai, best pad Thai in town.

Diner Review №13

I ordered Tom Kah soup. just a bowl full of noodles. What a joke. Never going back.

Diner Review №14

Each order cooked fresh. Pleasant staff. My entree was very sweet for a Thai basil stir fry. Seemingly lots of added sugar..?

Diner Review №15

Not very Express if you ask me. Stopped in to grab a bite on the go and it took them a half hour to serve my food. Atheist it was fresh, but the name is extreamly misleading .

Diner Review №16

Great testing food, quick and friends service.

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

Me and my husbands first time here. Food was so much better than we were ready for. Got the pad Thai and honey walnut shrimp. So juicy and flavorful :P and nice workers

Diner Review №19

Diner Review №20

Pro: big portions
Con: food tastes fine but not good enough for the price. I would rather have better tasting with smaller portions.

I did not hate anything, but I did not love anything. I am a huge fan of Thai food and have traveled to Thailand, but this restaurant is just okay.

I probably wont be coming back for awhile.

Diner Review №21

Food was pitiful even my dog wouldn’t eat it. Food looks good on the menu but when I actually get the food it looks like vomit. My birthday dinner got ruined. I had to go buy something else to eat with family. Never again.

Diner Review №22

I like to ignore previous ratings to judge the food for myself and it wasnt good. The spring roll was way too big it was like a big burrito broke apart asoon as I unwrapped it not eat friendly and the beef pad thai was way too sweet didnt really taste like real pad thai taste like something you would pull out of freezer instant microwave. The price is was way too expensive and are far better and cheaper options out there this I wouldn't recommend

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

It was ok, nothing I’d go back for. It was pretty standard.

Diner Review №25

Love the food, love the staff!! So clean and delicious Pad Thai!!

Diner Review №26

Omg so disgusting, we just order on this place and all food is really bad

Diner Review №27

Delicious choices including red, green, Panang curries, Pad Thai, Mongolian Beef. Excellent value, prices are good. You choice level of spice. Medium spice was not too hot. I added hot sauce to mine. Our meal came with fountain drinks. It was not busy when we visited on a Saturday for lunch. We got our food right away. Recommend getting special of the day for good value. Portions are generous. We were able to take leftovers home.

Diner Review №28

The food is pretty good and comes out fast. The two gentleman working behind the counter are very pleasant. Great place for fast lunch!

Diner Review №31

Ordered a spring roll on Door dash, plus fried rice and wings. Instead of a spring roll I got some sort of spring burrito, it is massive bigger than my hand..loosely wrapped, immediately broke apart and good thing too because inside was rotted bean sprouts and rotten slimy cilantro..I could have gotten really sick..hoping the restaurant sees this and contacts me.

Diner Review №32

The food was mid, the space was clean, but the price was cheap. It was the special of the day for $10.95- egg roll, drink and the pad sew.

Diner Review №33

Worst pad thai ever. I wish I can give zero star.. order the chicken and shrimp pad thai only saw I piece of shrimp. No customer service at all.. looks like the worker don't even want to be there

Diner Review №34

Save your money don’t eat here!

Diner Review №35

Thought it was a good idea to try something new. I paid a pretty penny for the four items I ordered. Not spicy as requested, unable to get a refund for the spring roll that was loosely rolled, mint leaf had black spots on it and the wrap was very soggy! I’m very disappointed for the service received. I won’t be back!

Diner Review №36

Amazing food I never eat before like this fresh food even at home…..

Diner Review №37

Quick Service and the food was excellent
I had a great experience at this restaurant

Diner Review №38

Definitely best Thai food I had very nice flavour orange chicken one of my favourite food I tried will definitely order again thank you for wonderful service

Diner Review №39

I wish I could give zero stars!!! I am usually the one who calls to praise when food and service is good. The food is terrible and tasted like gas. I brought the food back and was told by the manager, Francisco that he called the owner and will not refund my money. Winner of worst food and customer service award! Disappointed Maple Grove! Lease should be up!

Diner Review №42

Pad Thai was nothing special. The chicken tasted like it had been cooked, frozen and heated up in the microwave. Service wasn’t bad but it was uncomfortable. Of the three people I saw working, none of them looked like they wanted to be there. They weren’t friendly or inviting.

Diner Review №43

I have had the green curry twice. The first time it was good, the second time it was bland and I asked for spicy.. It was not even close. I asked for double chicken and veggies, the dish was mostly rice. It was very very very bland. The veggies taste like some of the, are form a can....

Very slow, staff wasn't motivated to get things done.

Diner Review №44

It was awful the help the size and taste of e food I ordered a spring roll mist have been wrapped days ago so sticky could not pick it up! No atmosphere in the place very unfriendly folks

Diner Review №45

I've had pad thai at about 20 different restraunts in Minnesota, and this is by far the worst I've ever eaten. I ordered the mild vegetable pad thai and it had absolutely no flavor at all. The vegetables tasted like the came from old cans. The noodles were so bland I couldn't finish my meal. I'd give this place 0/5 stars if I could.

Diner Review №46

Hate to say this against a fellow food establishment but:

Spring rolls are so thinly wrapped that they fall apart from the plastic wrap. With little taste. Also oversized which limits the flavor.

Thai basil fried rice had little flavour. Required additional doctoring to consume.

Peanut stir fry beef was under cooked with no flavor

Pad thai was marginally acceptable but still needed some doctoring in order to make up for the misgivings.

Fried egg roll wasn't bad but small.

Diner Review №47

Halal spot in Maple Grove. Serving size is okay. Food is good.

Diner Review №48

We've lost count of how many times we have ordered from Thai express. It's a great option for Halal food. Service is fast, food is good, portions are large.
The one thing we've noticed in the past is a lack of consistency with some of the dishes, depending on who the chef is that day. However, it hasnt been as often recently. Inconsistencies aside, the food has almost always been excellent.
Highly recommend the pad see ew, orange chicken and Tom yum soup.

Diner Review №49

I'm from Chicago and was visiting my sister in Minnesota last week, and my niece took us to "Thai Express" for dinner. The food was very fresh and delicious.
If you are in the mood of trying something different than Chinese, you must try
"Thai Express ".

Diner Review №50

I tried pad Thai it’s yummy, staff is friendly and love the pleasant ambiance.

Diner Review №51

I'm not sure that anything I had from here was an accurate representation of Thai food... the fresh spring roll was the size of a burrito and didn't really have any shrimp in it, and the Tom Yum soup wasn't even close to anything resembling or tasting like authentic Tom Yum... and also had spaghetti noodles in it? The green curry was actually alright but the rice and curry came in the same container so it was super mushy. Overall, not impressed and if you're expecting actual authentic Thai food this is not the place for you.

Diner Review №52

Loved the place and friendly staff .. I tried orange chicken for the first time it was yum 10-/10

Diner Review №53

Tried for first time. The man that took my order, never washed his hands, didn’t wear gloves, rubbed his face and back (under his shirt) and literally used his fingers to transfer food from bowl to grill. I am going to throw away $40 worth of food and go somewhere else. I will never return!!!

Diner Review №54

Using "express" in their name was misleading. I stopped in to get some quick food before a meeting in the area. Ordered the yellow curry and a spring roll. Got the curry and had finished eating it and still had not gotten the spring roll. It should be noted that there was only one other person there so they were not busy AT ALL. I asked for my money back on the spring roll, which I never got, because I needed to get to my meeting. Otherwise, the curry was ok.

Diner Review №57

This is my first time at the Maple Grove location in Minnesota, I ordered the red curry with rice noodles. The sauce tasted funny, and I asked for a refund because I just couldn’t eat their food. I had asked can I speak to the manager or whoever was in charge to see if I can get a refund , he said they didn’t do that and no one can help me. I am so frustrated/ disappointed.

Diner Review №58

This is my first time that this location The guy didn't wear gloves preparing food. The food had a weird funky taste to it. And when I try to ask for a refund. He was mean and. Disrespectful

Diner Review №59

I should be able to give a -star. The food was really bad, everyone took a bite of their food and tossed it in the trash. The spring rolls and orange chicken did not look anything like the advertisement for $38 I was expecting better. I should get a refund! Thank goodness we can grab Subs from down the block.

Diner Review №60

I was very disappointed with the food today. I've been here before and been very happy with the food. However, today the food looked unappetizing and tasted similar. I'd like a refund so that I can try this place again and write a new review.

Diner Review №61

Slight mixup with our order but was solved quickly. Very good food!

Diner Review №62

One of my favorite places to eat at

Diner Review №63

A bit light on the sauces, so lacking flavor

Diner Review №64

Food is terrible. They forgot part of my order.

Diner Review №65

I my opinion this is not even close to Thai food. The Pad Thai was sweet tasting with very little chicken. The
Mongolian Beef was flavorless and the beef was chucks of fat. The egg rolls were nothing but wrapped rice noodles and the fountain drink choices were very limited. Will not be back

Had the chicken pad thai. It's fine. I got it to go. I wasnt a fan of having to stop at the condiment station to pack my own peanuts and limes. Found that odd.
I dont think I would go out of my way to eat here again.

Diner Review №72

Good food but spice levels are inconsistent medium spice sometimes is very hot and other time mild

Diner Review №73

This place is excellent. The food is great and the service exceptional. Very nice and sociable staff.

Diner Review №74

Very disappointing experience. The food is very low quality and flavorless. And the plain rice was surprisingly gross. Tasted like it had been sitting out and reheated for a couple of days. I see no reason to try it again and go back.

Diner Review №75

I enjoyed my meal here. I would definitely not purchase the orange chicken again, but the pad thai was very good and definitely a good value. They cook it for you right there in front of you after ordering. It is very fresh. The orange chicken, even mild, was pretty spicy. The store was very clean inside serving us were very pleasant.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

I have probably eaten here 20 times now. The food is very high quality for the price. The ingredients taste fresh and everything is made to order right in front of you.

Diner Review №79

Affordable Thai-like food, but not as flavorful as authentic version of the dishes.

Diner Review №80

Ordered Chicken Red Curry for lunch on 04/12/2023 and it smelled so bad that I almost threw up. Worst Thai food curry I have eaten ever. There was also basil fried rice and orange chicken that I ordered and both of those were great. The chicken red thai curry is the worst. Wont order again.

Diner Review №81

Worst Thai food you can ever have. Tried Pad thai and Green curry. Both dishes were horrible.

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

Great, friendly service by the morning lady's. Great price if u get the Special of the Day.

Diner Review №85

ALOT of rice and very little poor quality food. The chicken was old, stir fry was only peppers, onions & carrots. The Mongolian beef was a complete dissappint!!!

Diner Review №86

The red curry was fantastic. Quick service, really good portions and the daily special is a super good deal. I definitely plan to come back.

Diner Review №87

Good food at the price .

Diner Review №92

Nice & clean, staff did not seem very outgoing or nice, food was good but expensive.. like everywhere. Not fast in getting the food out.

Diner Review №93

It was very good. Fast and service was good as well.

Diner Review №94

Worst food. Rice was hard. Meat wasn't fresh. I ordered Thai peanut and not one peanut. I give honest reviews. Go somewhere else.

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

First time trying Thai Express and was disappointed. Some of the chicken in the chicken fried rice that my wife ordered was actually cold. Definitely had that reheated flavor. I had the general chicken and also noticed the chicken had that reheated flavor.

Diner Review №97

Its alright. Employees are nice. They have some daily specials that you can save some money on. Food is so-so. They do make assumptions about your spice tolerance based on how you look, so make sure to point out what spice level you'd like if they forget to ask. Peaunts are in a separate area next to the soda machine inside. It is exposed - which seems problematic for people with peanut allergies.

Diner Review №98

We've tried a variety of dishes and the flavors are always good. Also love the variety of veggies in each dish. Better than some of the pricy sit-down Thai Restaurants in town.

Diner Review №99

It's fine. The staff is friendly. The food is pretty good. I didn't feel like I got good value for money as the serving size for the meat and veg was fairly small; most of the take away box was filled with rice. Something was also wrong with the soda machine as the root beer I got was not very good.

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №101

I tried green curry, panang curry, and pad see ew. All were far from authentic and mostly tastes like soy sauce and sugar. Extremely underwhelming food.

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Stopped in for lunch place was nice and clean food was good and fast. I got the pad see ew with beef medium spice which wasnt very spicy. And a spring roll. The spring roll was huge I ate it before the picture.

Diner Review №104

Their daily specials are the best value in town.

Diner Review №105

Great place to get spicy Thai fried rice!

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

It's a good halal place, I recommend getting the fried rice

Diner Review №109

Portions are very small and no take out orders over the phone....not the best customer service

Diner Review №110

My husband and I grabbed lunch here to go yesterday. Very clean modern inside. Super friendly staff making sure we understand the menu and spices. I got the basil fried rice with chicken. Very good could taste how fresh the ingredients were. The basil taste came through nice! Only wish there was more chicken in it.
My husband got the pad Thai noddles with beef. He said it was the best pad Thai he has had in years!
We also shared the fried veggie dumplings. They were good but mainly filled with just broccoli.
Prices are fair for the amount of food you get.
We will definitely be coming back!

Diner Review №111

Quick take out.

Diner Review №112

I literally asked for the sauce for my dumplings and they said it was in there. Got back to the hotel room and it wasn't there. Food was ok.

Diner Review №113

I go here very often for lunch. It is very good and the service is good. My one complaint is sometimes the veggies are raw. Specifically the potato's. But everything else is usually pretty good.

Diner Review №114

We dined here as a large group. I was very impressed by the cleanliness and the ambience of the space upon arrival. The food was excellent and served at a perfect temperature. We had vegetable egg rolls as a starter which were fried to perfection and served with sweet chili dipping sauce. The main entrees we tried were chicken pad thai, general thai chicken and thai red curry with white rice. All of them tasted very fresh and were very flavorful with the right amount of spices and well balanced flavors. The staff was very attentive and checked on us several times during the meal. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Diner Review №115

Food was delicious and the service was fast

Diner Review №116

Yum. The special of the day was curry. I said I didn't know if I liked curry so the lady made us a little sample plate. My husband had the curry and I had Pad See Ew. Both were delicious. Looking forward to our next visit.

Diner Review №117

Their pad Thai is so tasty and flavorful! I would highly recommend getting it. This is one of my favorite places to get pad Thai in MN.

Great customer service too. Also enjoy ordering from the friendly staff.

Diner Review №118

Love this place. My office always orders from this restaurant for our Thai Thursday Luncheons

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Nice little place. Friendly owners. Reasonable prices, especially if you get the the daily special.

Diner Review №121

Overall Service 1/10
Vege dumplings 1/10
Spring Roll (shrimp) 1/10
Orange Chicken 3/10
Red Beef 4/10
Fried Chicken Rice 7/10

Service was too bad, they dont offer food all together. I could not even sit to enjoy my food. appetizer, spring rolls showed up when we done with our entree and there were missing shrimps and straight from fridge as they dont warm those. Veggie dumplings are not worth to have it, small size and no taste.

Only and only fried rice has some taste with good quantity.

Diner Review №122

I got the pad thai with beef and extra spicy. Sadly the food was not spicy at all so that was disappointing. Felt more like a little spice. I love spicy and this didn't work. The food was delicious though and well priced. Overall great food but could use an upgrade to their spice. Staff was friendly and overall cleanliness of restaurant was good. I would recommend and definitely would come back to try the other food options.

Diner Review №123

Great place mostly do take out my go to is always the beef fried rice

Diner Review №124

Nice food, great taste and value. Amazing service!

Diner Review №125

Today was my first time at Thai Express. I was very impressed! They cooked my order as I waited, so it was very fresh. The spices were perfect. The food tasted amazing! And the staff was very kind and helpful. Thanks for making my evening.

Diner Review №126

My wife and I went there for the first time in the middle of the afternoon. Not busy. It took a few minutes to get our meal. A reasonable length of time. They were pleasant. We both loved our meals. I would recommend Thai Express in Maple Grove to my friends!

Diner Review №127

Good service. First time visitor and so happy I randomly chose this place. Just did fried rice and spring rolls (which are huge) but definitely delicious. Will be back. Can’t wait for an excuse not to cook!

Diner Review №128

As someone who rarely gives a low rating, this is my first. The Pad See Ew I ate was drenched in salty soy sauce, with huge chunks of raw, bitter vegetables. As someone who’s had good Thai food before, this was just not it. The cook who also took our order was menacing, giving an empty stare that could burn a hole through our head as we were trying to decide what to order. First time eating there and never again. If you’re super easy going, never tried good Thai food before and won’t mind the customer service, this is for you. 👍🏼

Diner Review №129

The pad see ew was awful. Tasted like soy sauce in noodles.

The vegetables of choice were like ends of other vegetables... Here is a picture of whatever they sold me.

The general Tsao chicken was ok and the Thai tea was good. Peanut sauce was good too..

Diner Review №130

Guys! This place is CRAZY GOOD!!! Stopped in for lunch today and had a spring roll and a "small" bowl of the Thai Soup. Amazing!!!! The spring roll was humongous and so fresh and delicious! The peanut sauce that came with it was to die for. Soooooo yummy!!! And then I got the soup and Oh. My. Word!!! Hot, delicious, full of flavor and again SO FREAKING FRESH!!!!!! Loved, loved, loved it! And the person working there today, Halal, (she may be the owner, not sure) was so kind and truly cared how my experience there was and was so hospitable. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their amazing food. Next time I'm bringing friends b/c good food is too good not to share!

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Stopped for some lunch. Only positives were the counter girls smile and the to-go chop sticks. I understand food cost are rising but serving soured shrimp is unexpected!!
Pad thai was drenched with tasteless sauce. No lemon.

Diner Review №133

Tried this place for the first time today!! Was beyond happy with our lunch! We went in, and both of the workers were extremely helpful and lovely. They made our food fresh, and it was completely delicious!! And a very good price for how much food we got. We will definitely be going back!

Diner Review №134

Diner Review №135

Thai express has some excellent halal food. Items are really amazing and of great taste.

Diner Review №136

We heard that it was a halal branch and we just had to try it! It was so good to finally be able to eat chicken in asian food.
The food was good. I love how they have the varying spice levels for every need.

It was a bit short-staffed and extremely busy the day we went but the food was hot and fresh.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

I ordered food from Thai express on my daughter's birthday. Pad Thai and Thai chicken curry. The order was ready on time. Pad Thai is was perfectly cooked and taste was on spot. Thai chicken curry has perfect sauce and flavor. All my guests were happy too.
I highly recommended this restaurant to all my Muslim and non Muslim friends

Diner Review №139

Great ambiance, great food and what an awesome customer service. I and my wife had great experience, first time at the restaurant and were greeted with smiles and welcome. Upon informing its first time here, we were thoroughly informed about the menu and different flavors. The lady Hina went beyond and made us a small plate with different flavors to know what they taste like as I am little picky on flavors and was questioning on them. I chose with little spicy yellow curry with battered chicken and extra beef meat. It came out really nice. We were asked couple of times to let them know right away if we didn't like anything but we loved it. Thank you for great food and great service. 👍

Diner Review №140

Amazing everything from ambiance to cleanliness and customer service. Very happy to find halal Thai restaurant with pure Thai taste. Food Presentation was very good. Ordered stir fry with chili paste and it was yum. Thankyou so much.

Diner Review №141

This has got to be the WORST "yellow" curry I've ever attempted to eat. Completely flavorless.

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

I was a bit apprehensive with trying this place because of the reviews. I'm glad I tried it! We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

It was really good. They make it hot and fresh right in front of you. I got thai chicken basil and it was the best flavor they I have had around here. My Mom got the pad thai and she really enjoyed it also. I will definitely be going back when I am in the area.

Diner Review №147

Very friendly and great food!! Two thumbs up

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

Friendly staff, clean and relaxed interior, and great food.
It’s hard to find decent green curry in the area, it’s the best here! The spicy levels are great to allow for hotter and mild curries, and they use fresh Thai basil! Fast, efficient, and on par.

Diner Review №153

Fresh and delicious

Diner Review №154

I expected too walk in to the run of the mill fast food place, but it was far from that. The place was very clean and the pad thai was fresh and delicious. I want more, like now. If only I were still hungry.

Diner Review №155

I'm very familiar with Thai food and wanted to try this place out even after hearing mixed reviews about it. My experience was very disappointed with the customer service and especially the food quality. The sauce flavor needs to be develop more because it is bland. Please check the quality of your meat and don't ever again server freezer burned meat to your customers! I had to throw away all my food (3 orders) only after a few bites because all the meat especially the beef tasted freezer burned and looked old. The only good thing was the Thai tea.

Diner Review №156

The best Thai ever the own was just amazing she even let's us test the soup and the source to make sure we like it and the place it self was just so clean and the best part is that the food is fresh made right infront of your eyes I love it and will come back

Diner Review №157

Oh man, first time in and the food is excellent! Made to order fresh. The young man who took our order was also the cook. He was polite and efficient. Clean and we'll maintained restaurant. We had our two toddlers and they ate a whole order of Pad Thai. Thank you for the great experience!

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

A super clean, fresh concept restaurant that does not disappoint! I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in but to my surprise everything was very nicely visualized, and streamlined. The staff was very helpful and went the extra mile to make sure my experience was nothing less than excellent.

I ordered the orange chicken and it's the best I've had at any restaurant across the country. At other restaurants the spice levels can be deceiving and don't live up to what they advertise. This place not only meets those standards but maintains the flavor while delivering the kick of the heat. The outside of the chicken was crunchy and inside was juicy and moist, Instead of the rubbery and chewy texture I've had at numerous other places, and the flavor really went into the meat!

I got my chicken over cauliflower rice and when I asked for a little bit of white rice they were happy to give me a generous side at no cost.

I hadn't had my coffee today and was hesitant to order a Thai tea because of how strong and sweet it can be, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how it wasn't overwhelming either way. It had the perfect sweetness, was refreshing and exactly what I needed. Absolute treat and highly recommended.

I gave this place 5 stars for a reason. Look forward to coming back!

Amazing food and great service.

Diner Review №165

Excellent food with equally excellent service!

Diner Review №166

We wanted to try halal Thai and was excited when we found this place. I wish we hadn't. What a waste of an evening! When we asked for bowls to have the soup (we were four people and the soup came in a big bowl), it felt like we asked for a huge favor that deserves to invoke an aura of annoyance. The whole time we were there, we were stressed out about asking for any assistance. If only the food had any seasoning to spice up that negative vibe! They even forgot one of the orders (maybe they wanted to spare us from more horrible food). Only positive point - they offered us one spring role to compensate and it was actually edible.

Food was ok , and customer service was zero, will never visit again n will never recommend anyone.

My worst experience in Thai cuisine and the service was worst than the food. We chaise to come here because it is a halal option and we wanted to support the business. We placed an order for 3 entrees, they gave us the soup with chicken that tasted old and eggy. As we came with an appetite we enjoyed the hot soup and left the chicken. We waited for 20 mins without getting the 2 more dishes we ordered and paid for. When we asked, they quickly started to cook because they had forgotten, with no apologies.When at last we were served, they gave it in a plastic container as if it was to go when we had specifically requested to dine in.
The shrimps were raw the veggies were too and by then it’s as if they opened up jars of spices and mixed in veggies and shrimp with no art in cooking.

I ordered a Thai Soup, the flavors tasted like a pack ramen soup from the grocery. Absolutely no no Thai flavors. I paid for extra meat and basically got a bowl full of noodles and water. The WORST restaurant I have ever been too...

I saw the sign for the restaurant and thought I would give it a try. I will admit I did not have high expectations as it was a small "expess" restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of the food! I ordered chicken pad thai with the hot spice and it was spiced perfectly to my liking. There isn't much seating so you may want to plan on taking it out.

Customer service is terrible!! I ordered curbside take out. I called early to let her know I was early but was waiting in my car. She told me it will be a couple more minutes turned into me having to walk in for my food that wasn’t ready by pick up time.
If you’re that lazy, don’t offer curbside to your customers . I should have read the reviews first before ordering from here. Stay away from this place!!

Terrible food and the service was just as bad. Ordered take out and had to wait an hour for the food to be ready on a Sunday at 2pm. When we got the food 3/4 of the container was filled with white rice (we paid for fried) and maybe 9 very small pieces of chicken when we had paid for extra chicken. The one small container cost $19. We were missing fried rice with each of our 3 entrées. Tried a bite of each of the entrées and the food was terrible, also. Went back to the store and didn’t even get an apology, but they did refund our money.

Very bad food taste and service is even worst. I took few items takeout from here, they missed putting egg rolls in my takeout...when i reached home and called them about it, there was no sorry from their end...just said, come back and we will give you egg rolls. Food taste was BAD....we threw away all the food and eventually ordered pizza delivery for dinner.

I will never go there again at all.

The food was fantastic! The employees were top notch!

Diner Review №181

The food was good. The soup needed more spicy, it was very blend since I asked very spicy. The Wednesday special aka orange chicken was ok. Had an after taste which I can't describe. The shrimp fried rice was prefty good. The egg rolls were the best tho... customer service was great

Nummy food and the staff is super sweet! I was amazed they were open so late to, they also recommended the spice level for me and its perfect! Quick and good Thai food.

Diner Review №183

Very, very disappointed. Ordered stir-fry chicken with medium sweet & sour sauce. Four fifths of my order was broken rice. Clearly over cooked and stirred too often. Chicken was shredded pieces & precooked. Vegetable were cut to tiny pieces. Sauce was flowing out of the carry-out box. Spiciness was not mixed evenly through meal. One bite zingy hot, the next bite was bland. Had to throw out! Wasted $11. They have lost their recipe & my business. Don't go.

Fantastic! Best 7 dollars I've spent in a long time on the daily specail! Thankyou! My first review ever And I'm a foody!!

Diner Review №186

Food was great, and the place itself is super cute! I have a peanut allergy, and was able to get Pad Thai without any nuts or cross contamination. The meat is all halal too! My new go to Thai place for sure.

The food is descent for the daily special price but not the full price.. first time I ordered I paid close to $13 or $14 for fried rice. Too expensive for the food quality. You can get better food for the same price (full menu price) from better restaurants. I now only go there to get the daily special for $7. Max spicy is not that spicy so get hot sauce of side.

Diner Review №189

I ordered basil fried rice with chicken, tom yum soup, and vegetable dumplings. The food was tasty, although, I would recommend requesting the maximum level of spice for full effect. The ambience is also light and relaxing.

Inconsistent but overall good!

Diner Review №191

We have eaten food from here 5 times. The food has been consistently good. We have ordered ahead and ordered there, and the wait is the same; they seem to wait until you arrive to make your food if you pick it up yourself. Not a big deal to us, we like it fresh. What IS a big deal, and why I gave 2 stars- the worker who made our order was wearing a mask, per state mandate, but had it under her chin. Having worked in the food industry, having a spouse who works in emergency medicine and sees covid cases nearly every shift (it's in our area, no denying it), and knowing 3 people who have died from covid in our area, I won't be back here.

Worst pad Thai I’ve ever had. Never have I had pad Thai with sweet and sour for the entrees sauce. Also from my experience pad Thai always comes with cilantro, lime, and bean sprouts, none of which were in my dish. I did however get tofu which I specifically stated in the order I didn’t want. Will not be returning!!!

Diner Review №193

Expect to wait 30 minutes for a meal or order ahead online. The Pad Thai is bland in flavor and the spice could use some help. Plenty of better options in the Maple Grove area...

Diner Review №194

Been there a couple of times, staff very pleasant and eager to please, food FRESH and yummy 😋

Diner Review №195

Great food, great service, great experience!!

Diner Review №196

Pretty tasty and quick. We had the pad Thai and pad see ew both medium spice level and it was pretty flavorful and heat was there but was not super spicy where you can’t enjoy the food.

Diner Review №197

Seriously best food ever!!!! The soup is amazing. I'd eat here every day if I could!!

Ordered take out! Very small quantities on both meals. Food was dry and luke warm.
Was supposed to be vegetables and chicken over rice, but was mostly rice.
Very disappointing!!!
