Casual, spacious Southeast Asian eatery with a diverse menu that includes Thai & Vietnamese staples.
The pho broth is excellent but the noodle tasted hard and is broken. The pho combination only comes with one shrimp so I would avoid that pho and grab something else like the special. The chicken fried rice they use way too much vegetable and the rice is very sticky. Same with the boat noodle. The men’s bathroom needs a major work. The floor is sticky and only one toilet stall. I am a firm believer that how clean a bathroom is, is how clean the food is prep in the kitchen.
Please, get your carpets done, have your server wipe the walls , and get your SERVERS more TRAINING. FOOD WAS GOOD, AND FRESH. You need PROFESSIONAL training and coaching for all your servers. Teach your servers to COMMUNICATE if you're going to have them share tips at the end of the day. I don't want to be asked 3 times within 1 minute how my food was, or waiting 15 minutes without seeing a worker. Please, just do better.
When I first walked in… It was like a rush of wind from Asia 🌄. The restaurant is very Asian. It’s like a portal. The food was bussin 🫦, or as you old people would say “Great!”. Pho was amazing but there was like a 1:2 ratio of food and broth, King 🍲 size bowl. Also got Pa-ht-see-you, it was the best fish, felt like them jellys from spunchbob 🪼. The water tasted like nothing, 10/10! I LOVE WATER/MONKEY MOVIE APE GOOD HUMAN BAD
Food was mediocre. Have special pho and it was okay but nothing wow to go back personally. Had spring rolls but nothing like I'm used too so they were good and also they were thick. Thai tea which I personally love did not taste the same here at all and didn't like it at all. Takes just mostly sugar. And the sweet and sour chicken for my brother Was plain? There was taste but it faded as soon as you were chewing like the chicken didn't soak any flavouring
First time here. Water never got a refill. Everything else is ok. The food was excellent. Raw laab was freshly made, just enough bitterness and spicy to my liking and taste. The seafood pho was great. I enjoyed it. The broth was just right. Overall, I will come back for the food. Haven't tried all of them yet.
Our 1st server was nice. But she just disappeared and we never saw her again.
Egg rolls and cream cheese wontons were average at best
The deluxe pad thia was way to sweet. No one could get past 2 bites.
My 9 year old liked her sesame chicken 😊
The Basil Bai Ka Pao was okay.
My spicy noodles were okay too.
All in all it was okay 👌
The space was huge
Good vibes
This place was great! I'm really surprised it was so dead inside. I had the egg rolls to start. They were quite good. And the hot chili oil they had sitting out on the table was some of the best, and hottest I've had. Really great to find a place that has great hot chili oil. Had the Hmong bitter soup, and it was amazing. I'd highly recommend. A little bit spicy, had tons of meat and amazing tender tripe. Very herby with a good kick of ginger and lemongrass. Service was good, prices very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Great selection.
The gay dude in the front is rude for no reason but the food is good
Food was flavorful. They cook with lots of garlic and onions and brings out those flavors.
Excellent authentic Thai dishes, low key atmosphere. One of new favorites!

Had the Kapoon. It was very flavorful with the right amount of coconut milk and curry. I like a lot of protein, but this one had less than what I prefer. I don't recall any bamboo, and if it did, it was pretty nonexistent. Overall, typical restaurant kapoon, but more flavorful than most places.
My husband and I always come to eat here and it’s always good. But we also wish service was good too. I always feel like after you get your food they forget about you.

King Thai Asian Cusine is a great way to experience authentic Asian spices in your choice of entrè, and they do not disappoint. Family friendly or Solo Diner. My choice was the Vegetable Stirfry with protein choice of Shrimp, Shrimp and Pork spring rolls, and Meatball soup. All were very good, seasoned to perfection with fragrant Asian Spices. It was plenty of food for me as a Solo Diner, which was wrapped and takinhome to enjoy with others who were very pleased and thankful for the food. Service was awesome, price very affordable, I highly recommend this restaurant,.
Service was horrible. Food was ok. I like my spice level at a medium and theirs was so hot I couldn’t take more than one bite. Waitress told me next time I should tell what kind of spice I like which I did. Never going back
I have been to a few Asian restaurants but King Thai has the best boat noodle and lao style papaya salad. The noodle in the Eggrolls are kind of hard and kind of hard to chew or eat.
The pho broth is excellent but the noodle tasted hard and is broken. The pho combination only comes with one shrimp so I would avoid that pho and grab something else like the special. The chicken fried rice they use way too much vegetable and the rice is very sticky. Same with the boat noodle. The men’s bathroom needs a major work. The floor is sticky and only one toilet stall.

Worst customer service ever. I'll never ever go there no more. First and last. Bad staff worker and the cup aren't looking clean at all. That's why I didn't drink the water.
Waited 1 hours to get my food. Would not recommend
Delivered: food was spilt out. Very bland very dry chicken. very little food. 30$ I payed. Not worth a dime.
My husband ordered raw laab, sausage, thai papaya and fried rice. The sausage and fried rice was good but the raw laab and papaya was very bland. No flavor at all. Very disappointed. I will not go there again.
Fast service and good food
Food is disgusting. Restaurants dirty. Staff yells at you for needing to use restroom
Always a great place to go with friends and family
Takeout was spendy and awful
Yes 🙌 Great food and ambiance!
Not a Thai restaurant, but a Hmong restaurant using Thai name.
Very rude girl worker there. Food isn't that good either.
Carpet inside the restaurant is very old n very dirty, never see a restaurant this bad…
Why go sit n eat in a place like this …
And than Pho is no good, a few bites n done,
Never will dine in at this place again…
Is King Thai used sugar made Papaya salad? it's so sweet I can't eat thrown it away only. don't waste your money
Everything was delicious!!!
Looking for a private room/space? King Thai Asian Cuisine is highly recommended of mine. The owners and staff are wonderful and hardworking, providing great customer service and are very accomodating. The food was a delight to the taste bud.
When I first walked in… It was like a rush of wind from Asia 🌄. The restaurant is very Asian. It’s like a portal. The food was bussin 🫦, or as you old people would say “Great!”. Pho was amazing but there was like a 1:2 ratio of food and broth, King 🍲 size bowl. Also got Pa-ht-see-you, it was the best fish, felt like them jellys from spunchbob 🪼. The water tasted like nothing, 10/10! I LOVE WATER/MONKEY MOVIE APE GOOD HUMAN BAD
Takes five years to get any service, even for take out!
Portion is small and food not up to par my order looked burnt /over cooked. Very terrible communication. Did not notify me when they ran out of sticky rice so I could replace or atleast gave me regular steam rice . Would not reccomend.. Spent over $47.00.. for three items was not worth it .you're better off ordering elsewhere.
First time here. Water never got a refill. Everything else is ok. The food was excellent. Raw laab was freshly made, just enough bitterness and spicy to my liking and taste. The seafood pho was great. I enjoyed it. The broth was just right. Overall, I will come back for the food. Haven't tried all of them yet.
You can dine in or take out. Delicious Thai food.
Its good because the pho and the pork as well the cheese wantons
I love this restaurant.
That is all you need to know go see why!
Went here a while back when the restaurant was young. Customer service at the time was good, typical of asian establishments. However, in comparison to other restaurants in the same area that I have tried, the foods were not as good. To be honest and I meant no disrespect to anyone or culture, but why named it King Thai when this restaurant was birthed to life and own by Hmong?
I been there 2 OTHER times before and just not so polite honestly i haven't been to any restaurant like this one that has ever been welcoming and polite unless they were Americanized and that has been few.
Why is that? I dont care where your from originally if your in america be polite that goes for everyone with a restaurant... your dealing with PEOPLE WHY BE ANNOYED WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME BUT WANT TO GET MONEY FOR FOOD YOU MAKE DUH! ITS PEOPLE WHO PAY WITH MONEY I was told there was delivery and online says delivery the lady I talked to on the phone wasn't very nice rudely saying we don't deliver rushing off the phone before I can say ok carry out..
THIS IS FOR ALL CULTURES THE WAY YOU HANDLE YOUR CUSTOMERS IN PERSON IS THE WAY I WOULD KNOW YOU HANDLE YOUR FOOD TO THE CUSTOMERS IF YOUR RUDE ALL THE TIME WHY WOULD I BE SO COMFORTABLE EATING WHAT UOU SELL! BE POLITE!
SMILE ,BE KIND TO PEOPLE SPENDING THERE MONEY WITH YOU WE DONT HAVE TO AT ALL MAYBE MORE BUSINESS WILL COME.. DONT JUDGE OTHERS BASED ON 1 EXPERIENCE WITH SOMEONE IGNORANT BECAUSE THEY HAVE SIMILAR SKIN COMPLEXIONS. BE KIND TO EVERYONE OR SHUT IT DOWN
Overall, it was an okay experience.
Pho is too salty. The worst pho I ever ate. This is the first and last place for me.
Hi just would just like to start off flashing that food is good. The customer service sucks.
I gave them a 3 stars due to the fact that the portion of the orders are very small compare to the price they're charging. I order through online and then pickup. I will not order again, unless they either increase the food portion, or decrease their prices. The taste is like regular Hmong food taste from the flea Market deli. I hope this help.
After sitting down I smelt a mildew odor immediately. When the waitress brought my food out she brought the wrong thing. After she fixed my food the beef eye round was over cooked and hard to chew. When I went to go pay there was a mistake on my bill. The woman server went to go get the waiter who begin to yell at me and insult me. After he went to get the manager the manger started yelling at me as well saying I was wrong not them. It was a horrible experience and I do not recommend anyone (especially people of other ethnicity) to eat here. The Pho is mediocre and the customer service is terrible and degrading.
Their beef larb tasted like throw up; the meat has expired smell and the tripe was like chewing rubber. Never go there again
I wish there was a 4.5 star. Food was good and surprisingly fast. Service was very attentive.
So disappointed… The Boat Noodle was super salty, it left my tongue feeling stung and dried. We didn’t get refill on water until we were almost done eating; it was not that busy as we arrived a little after 11 AM. The most disappointing and misleading was the Tam Mij Noodle. The menu stated that it comes with prawn, scallops, meatballs, bbq meat, and brisket. The dish came out with only meatballs and when I asked the guy that brought out the food he said the dish only come with meatballs. He said if I wanted seafood in my salad then I need to order seafood papaya salad. SIR! Your menu doesn’t even offer seafood papaya salad! YOUR MENU OFFERED TAM MIJ NOODLE w/ all those ingredients. This is so deceiving! Didn’t even offer to take it back and make it right but instead made some excuses that I ordered the wrong dish. If I ordered the wrong dish, please explain the description of the dish per the menu vs. the food you put in front of me. Shame on you guys!
I don’t know how this place is still running. Ordered boat noodle a while back and literally got more lemon grass stalks than noodles and their Vietnamese vermicelli salad is god awful. Seems like everything was amateurishly thrown together by the dad and loud uncle in the kitchen. Had to go right across the street to “Tay Ho” for better food that is always consistent.
We had coconut soup, bok choi stir fry, Thai sausages, and coconut and mango boba tea. Everything was absolutely delicious, and it was way too much food for two people, so we had to take some home. This restaurant is conveniently close to the Capitol, too!
I've been to King thai twice, and it's always a disappointment because I'm always finding hairs on my food, but I never let them know since I'm not a person who likes to confront others. Also my husband got sick after eating the pad thai. Sadly, it will be our last time eating here since I don't want any more hairs on my food nor food poisoning. (Order pho)
Their Pho noodles look and taste like vermicelli. I will never go eat Pho there again it's very disappointing.
All the food I had was great. But the server could have been a bit more hospitable. Seamed like he didn't want to be there. But the food was good. And bubble tea was good as well.
Pho is super salty. Service is rude. Will not recommend.
My usual favorite Pho place was full so I went here and it was unexpectedly excellent. The toasted chili paste on the table was perfect and the soup broth was full of flavor. I will be back again soon.
Pad Thai & Fried Rice is great!
The beef bitter soup is great too!
Worst customer service and their food is mediocre at best
I've come here many times because I like the pad thai. I also want to support my Hmong community. However, their service has been very bad. Every time, I am left waiting for almost an hour despite it not being busy. The "party" room next door is so loud, and the servers are just goofing around talking loudly and not coming into the dining area to even take our orders or refill water or anything. Tables are not cleared, and the place just gets filthier each time I come back. No matter how much I like their pad thai, there are better options where I dont have to wait for an hour to just get my order in.
Edit: i finally got my food, and it was not good like the previous times I had it. Everything was overly salty. The pad thai that I enjoyed was less and put on a smaller plate compared to the other times I've come. It had no flavor besides being salty this time. I asked for medium spice, and it had no spice at all. Usually, I like the pad thai because of the tamarind sour taste, but there was none.
THE CURRY. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is very nice! I went when it was very quiet and I enjoyed it overall! The service was a bit slow but I don’t blame them as there were only two servers. I really enjoyed it and will go again!
Love this place. Interesting twist on some of the dishes but I’m a big fan. Peanut anything is yummy.
Good food overall.
Service leaves plenty to be desired (not the requested spice level, missing dishes, when will water show up?)
This place was great! I'm really surprised it was so dead inside. I had the egg rolls to start. They were quite good. And the hot chili oil they had sitting out on the table was some of the best, and hottest I've had. Really great to find a place that has great hot chili oil. Had the Hmong bitter soup, and it was amazing. I'd highly recommend. A little bit spicy, had tons of meat and amazing tender tripe. Very herby with a good kick of ginger and lemongrass. Service was good, prices very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Great selection.
First time here. Good food, good service, atmosphere could use some work.
Food is good. Had the pho and boat noodles. Both tasted good, boat noodle made be just a tas bit sweet for me. I believe this is Hmong owned, I'm always disappointed by Hmong eggrolls sold in stalls or restuarant. Like why can't you make it how you make it at home... the eggrolls weren't good.
Just the worst pad thai that I ever had.
Good foods
Comida Thailandesa, de lo mejor y los precios justos. Platos muy grandes.
For being my first time there, the food was good in flavor, but the portion size, especially on the fried tilapia could have been bigger and the bubble tea is not what im used to but was still decent in flavor even though it was half frozen, which made it kind of hard to drink through the straw. Overall, the customer service and experience was 50/50.
I went here with my family for dinner because it was something nearby. We tried the curry, pineapple fried rice, and papaya salad. Overall, the foods are 2/5. The majority of the foods are extremely sweet and it ruins the dishes. The curry wasn't spicy at all, the rice are undercooked. Papaya salad is not good, shredded papaya and mangoes, green beans, tomatoes, and Thai eggplant (a plus for that) but it's very saucy and sweet. Customer service is 3/5.
A nice little place with a nice atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly, the egg rolls were delicious, and the Deluxe Pad Thai with Chicken was very good. Maybe the table could have been a little cleaner, but wasn't a big deal. I would visit here again.
Super ghetto service. The food is decent but the service makes coming back a big ask. They mess up and don’t apologize. They don’t say anything. Then there’s a lady in the back verbally abusing her kid. The whole vibe just sucks. I don’t care how good their food is.
I’ve always really enjoyed this restaurant and tend to order the same two or three items on the menu. I brought my boyfriend there recently and had a much different experience. They seem to have changed the chef or recipes.
The drunken noodles for example were not nearly as tender or flavorful… Yet extraordinarily over spiced. The server was a bit condescending and asked if we knew what medium spiciness meant. I said I understood what Thai spice meant and that it is typically a lot spicier than American and that I am comfortable with medium as I always order it that way. Well was a lot hotter than mediums in the past… Visibly bright red, there was so much hot pepper. Palatable, but ultimately just not very good for either of our meals. The eggrolls were oddly not too good. The sauce is different and does not have the traditional fish we love so much.
There are plenty of outstanding Thai restaurants in the Twin Cities. This is no longer on my main list.
Always had great service! Yummy food!
Staffs are friendly, food tastes great. I recommend this place if you are looking for great tasting Thai food.
If I could leave 0 stars I would. Staff was very very rude and disrespectful. Took my family here for an Easter lunch with the noodles in my dish coming out too hard. I let the staff know in which they remade the dish. After waiting for an additional 20 minutes for my proper noodles, the waitress brought my food but proceeded to tell my family that they are closed. At no point did any staff come to check on us or even let us know that they were closing. I literally had to track down a staff member to get us takeout cups and when I had asked for additional straws, he began complaining out loud as he went to grab them. Terrible customer service. I will never bring my family back here again.
Service was great and the food was pretty good too. I really enjoy the location, dinner with a view of the Saint Paul cathedral was a nice way to end the night.
The comment above was a couple years ago, now I take it all back, horrible service and tasteless food. We left hungry after receiving a 60 dollar bill. No wonder the parking is empty when we drove up.
Pretty pricey for the portion you get, sadly the waitresses barely come around. Sat for a good 10 minutes waiting for the waitresses to come by to get a box to go but after a while I went to go find them instead. Hopefully it gets better, lots of potential.
A family owned and operated restaurant. You’ll get traditional Thai & Laos food here. Services are a bit slower for the Friday i was there. I like the Lao style papaya salad. Always great to see friends and families here with
My little family ate here for dinner; We arrived about 5pm. Service was terrible, there was no sticky rice before the rush. Waited too long, I had to ask for an extra bowl 4 TIMES. Never again. First and last.
The only reason why I'm giving King Thai 4 stars because when I asked for extra tendon, I received spec of tendon. 😂But Food was delicious!
This place used to be the best. I have always got spicy noodles this time it was "hot" too spicy couldn't eat it. Avoid this place if you can. The cook is a stubborn man. Husband try telling him it was too spicy he said he didn't care about our opinion.
Not worth it. The food was overprice for the quantity you get. Our dishes came out one by one so by the time the last dish came out we were already done with eating so we packed it to go. The last dish was panang curry and there was barely any meat. It was full of vegetables only! They took forever on My sister boat noodle dish that by the time we got the curry, she just told the waitress to cancel the order.
So disappointing. Will never come back again. Not worth the money. We spent $100+ and left home still hungry.
👍
The food dishes we ordered were very salty. Even one of the plates they made again was still salty. Not worth any penny.
Food was good. But service is slow, unfriendly, and unattended.
Rude not friendly at all which something I at least expected whenever I go somewhere.
Good
Their Khao Piak noodle soup is on point. 💯 With extra slices of meat balls in it, it just hit the spot. Their service is excellent as well. Their server comes around refilling your cup of water often. I like that. 👍🏻 A+ to their servers and their kitchen staff for such a outstanding food. Keep up the good work.
THEY ARE CUTTING CORNERS ON THE FOOD,BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION I GUESS,INGREDIENTS AND ITEMS SEEM SKIMPY,FORGET ABOUT SEEING THE WAITRESS OR WAITER AGAIN AFTER YOUR FOOD ARRIVES,ITS AS IF U LEFT ALREADY LOL.. USE TO BE BETTER THAN THIS,BUT ITS CHANGED A LITTLE..
We ordered Tom Kha, Green Curry and Pad Thai and it was all fantastic. A couple of words to the wise: 1) The spice scale is not a Minnesota spice scale, so if you ask for the heat they will bring it! 2) Order extra rice...we didn't have enough. Highly recommend!
Love it. Great foods
Best chicken pad Thai I’ve ever had
Service still needs to be more friendly.
Great place for some Thai, Lao and Vietnamese food with more options on Lao cuisine. We had coconut noodle, Thai fried flat noodles, pho and loved them all. The papaya salad was too spicy for medium level but they did warn us. Good portion and reasonably priced. Parking spaces available next to the restaurant and you can enjoy the view of the capitol building from the window.
I always get the lobster in crab sauce for special occasions, & boy is it special! Absolutely spectacular! Can we also get some applause for this local business that stays open for the holidays? And kills it every time? Yass! Thank you!
i’m surprised to see so many negative reviews here. it was delicious and i actually appreciated not being bothered by the waiters too much. i see a lot of people saying service was bad but it wasn’t too hard to flag people down and ask for boxes/the tab. food was delicious with big portions! i got the hmong sweet pork and the sauce was super flavorful and it had lots of pork in it. we also had the bok choy and it was very fresh and crunchy. i just moved a block away from king thai and i’ll definitely be going there as often as i can!
Ordered hot chili garlic for take out and found a very large bug that was cooked in with the vegetables. I regret not taking a picture before I threw it away in disgust. I will definitely not return and do not recommend it unless you like eating insects with your meals. Very disappointing!
Please don't offer take out if you go this CHEAP on packaging. Who puts papaya salad & a dish (pad kana) with sauce in a Styrofoam tray? The drive home was less than 10 minutes and everything ended up in the bag. And, the squid dish was half empty. It's unfortunate to have such terrible service when the food is decent. I hope you address this.
Food was presented in a timely manner, I had combination meat & seafood Pho which was basically all very chewy meatballs. The condiment containers were gunky and gross, I didn't even touch them. I gave one ⭐ for the atmosphere due to the filthy (ladies) bathroom. When I see scum around the bottom of the wall from the dirty mop they are using (probably the mop from the kitchen after washing the greasy floor), and a 3/4 empty paper towel roll sitting on the wet sink soaking up the water that drips off others hands while washing their hands. GROSS. Wait Staff took our order and we never saw him again. I did tell the front of the house staff about my concerns and she apologized to us. It will be awhile before I return to King Thai Asian Cuisine if I never go back.
Bad customer service ever and foods is garbage. Taste like burn and foods is horrible dishes ain't look clean especially the cup.
Food was not good.
I am Thai,we was ordered >Num Tuk beef >Papaya salad , both for medium spicy!!! but tooooo spicy 🥵 🥵🥵and old meat , I ever never eaten to spicy like this in my own country !!! believe me !! and chicken wings fly, and green curry chicken it okay nothing special,Safe you money!!
Pho was horrible. Lots of water and little noodles
Owners are very friendly. Good service. The food is very good as well.
First time being here, and I thought the food was good. We got our food pretty quick and the boat noddle was good. A lot of bad reviews I see, but from what I ate and saw, it was fine.
Great food and friendly staff. Food was ready quickly and was very good.
Today is the second time I have ate at King Thai. The place is beautiful. It feels like a real Hmong restaurant because of the Hmong music they put on. I think last time, I got the Hmong Combo and it was really good and I enjoyed it because the waiter was good and did her job right.
Today, I ordered the curry and it was really good too. I got the red ruby, so it tasted really sweet and coconut-like. I just feel like when I waited for my rice, they just never came back to give it to me. The same waiter seen me two times but didn’t know or didn’t check up that I needed rice because it says it comes along with the curry. I just feel like there was nobody .. like no waiters around my table and other people’s table to ask how we are doing and asking for refills.. but IDK. That’s how I feel.
Pad thai is good
The rest of the was not to good.
Also the fried rice had a hair.
Cooks need hair nets.
Food was fairly good, love it how they have a JUMBO sized pho, only downfall is our 2 waitress provided such poor service we didn't bother tipping them. Sad thing was that it was early lunch and bearly had no one in. No matter how bad of a service we've gotten anywhere, we've always tipped but not this time.
Good food and fast service.
Quick and fast with big portion with the new owner and stuff
Food was ok... not worth the what they charge. Realistically I feel they charge 2-4$ over what it's worth the table was kinda dirty also.
I had the the curry fried rice with pineapple and pork. It was very good!
chicken wings 9/10 very good service quick too!
DO BETTER! We waited for 30 minutes, saw all customers seated after us served only to find out you guys lost our order?? Had a starving toddler! We walked out! By far the worse restaurant experience ever!
My husband said his papaya salad was delicious. My pad thai was good. This was our second time eating here. We will be back. The people are very nice. The atmosphere is very welcoming.
Typical hmong/thai food, pricing, and service. Them young waitress seem like they really hate their job cause they sure are crabby and are in a rush. Been there multiple times so I would probably go again since its convenient.
Went for lunch. Showed up and told 30min for food, which was fine we were in no rush, but then after ordering was told they were out of noodles. So essentially waited 45min for some papaya salad only.
Services were good but the food were out of vermicelli noodles so didn't get the vermicelli dish with meats/greens and didn't get the vermicelli noodles with the papaya dish. Sad to hear that it was a longer wait time (waited for 30+ minutes for food to come) around the afternoon around 2-3pm because me and my husband came by to have a quick lunch but didn't get the full satisfaction of food services. Hopefully they can change up a little bit on the food running out or giving alternative dishes to customers would of suffice. The waitress didn't give us information if we would get our vermicelli dish instead she only asked if we could have other side dish along with the papaya. Unfortunately, we only ate papaya for lunch.
Love the pho special. My wife likes Drunken Noodle. The staffs are nice and friendly.
I grown up eating lots of Thai and Lao food and I was disappointed…our food was bland and tasted sad. The tables were dirty and some of the employees work ethic seemed lacking. They all just chilling around. Will not come back.
Friendly restaurant will go again next time.
Yummy foods! Thanks.
I just placed an order for pick up there and ordered the seafood tofu soup. The only seafood that was in it was a small scrap of shrimp. The rest was luke warm broth, a few vegetables, and small cubes of tofu. Very disappointed I spent almost $20 on broth. Would not recommend.
Foods was Awesome and TASTY!!!
I really love their drunken noodles but I may have a new favorite which is the sesame chicken because it was so damn good.
This location is located on University Avenue and is part of a professional complex so it’s not a standalone restaurant.
Upon entering, we were greeted and seated fairly quickly. They came and brought us waters and got our orders and food but after that, we never saw them again. Service was 50/50.
Nab Vam: 5/5, so good!
Pad Thai: 3/5, it was okay.
Pho: 3/5, it was alright.
Overall, their menu is too broad and if they took it down to just some main food, I’m sure it’ll be great tasting but other than that, I don’t know if I would come back.
We did take out and personally I felt like the proportion was really little. Not a lot of basil pad ka pao and barely any Papaya salad since they added the half noodles (which was not requested). Overall taste was good but nothing special. Everything cost roughly $60
My fav dish in order:
1: wontons & thai tea (not pictured)
2: Papaya salad
3: fried rice
4: basil pad ka pao
5: catfish laab (only bc I'm not a fan of fish but my boyfriend thought it was decent)
Papaya salad was really good. The pho was also pretty good.
The Chinese fried rice had a weird taste to it and I couldn't figure out why. The boba tea was decent, pearls were undercooked. The tri color was decent, I would've preferred it in a cup vs a bowl. I don't think there was much tri-color given.
The only thing I didn't care for was the salt and pepper squid. It had a sweet/weird seasoning to it.
Customer service was good though.
Food is good. Papaya was shredded in a lazy way. Waitress have a shady look and attitude.
The food was good and the staff was kind. I thought the food was just a little over priced and I would also have preferred they do not broom sweep the carpets next to tables people are still dining at.
