Northern Thai and fusion
Have been stopping in here a lot before the unexpected temp close at the end of January (will be coming back when they reopen). The Thai sausage is fantastic, and the chili's that come with it are great. I have yet to try something they make that isn't good, though there is a bitter herb in their herb soup that takes getting used to.
Highly recommend giving them a try.
Oh my goodness the best food EVER! The flavors are amazing! Love the entire menu! My office is right around the corner and I am so fortunate to be close to this amazing restaurant! Take the time and stop to enjoy the food and meet the friendly owners! Thank you for the wonderful food I LOVE IT!!

An absolute gem of a place
I didn't know what to expect when I pulled up. Not a flashy restaurant at all however I found out quickly that you can't judge a book by its cover. My daughter and I had the pad Thai and added chicken. I was surprised by the quality and flavor . Portions are definitely big enough to where you shouldn't leave hungry. Spice level five definitely has a nice kick. Definitely the cheapest Thai food I found in the Fargo area and the quality does not suffer at all. It was very delicious and I would say better than most other Thai restaurants in town if not the best especially the value for the money . Looking forward to going back and sampling some of their other food! The staff was very friendly.
Service was good, food was good. Portions and price are reasonable.
Walk up order Thai food, not fancy, limited seating inside, but the food was ready quickly and was wonderful. Close to downtown, so got very busy at lunch. Serving size perfect for lunch, would definitely recommend.
Went during lunch. Busy restaurant for sure. Food was great. I didn't like the lettuce at the bottom of the carton. That is my primary complaint.
This is a lovely casual spot for some good Thai food. I've tried the pork belly and the pad Thai, both of which are delicious. You can order yours as spicy (or not) as you prefer, and still enjoy full, delicious flavor.
Insanely good Northern Thai. Best khao soi since we were in Chiang Mai. The nam prik oong was outstanding. If we lived nearby weβd come at least once a week. Highly recommend.
Good lord. 10/10
Food is great, have some food allergies and they knew exactly what was in everything and had vegan options. Felt 100% confident that they would make it as ordered. Very clean resturant, kitchen and bathroom. They must take pride in what they do as this place was great. This will be one of our new go to resturants in Fargo.
Ate 2 more times since this review, food is consistently great. This it turning into one of my families favorite resturants.
I travel all over for work. I always get Thai. This was hands down the most incredible food. Oh my gawd. Iβm going to dream about this good until my next time in Fargo. Service was incredible.
Staff / owners very friendly! Khoa soi is so delicious with so much flavour, it's a must try!!!
Fresh and so so tasty!
Good food!
Best yellow curry, must try, i love the taste here. Amazing taste
The food is some of the best authentic North Thai food i've had in the States! Do not miss the Thai sausage. It's every bit as good as the best place in bangkok that I had Thai sausage! The place is very clean and comfortable but not super charming.
This place is my new go to for Thai food. I grew up around Lao and Thai folks and this place cured my homesickness the papaya salad is sooo fire spring rolls on point the lemon grass sausage is incredible and the sticky rice isn't so expensive as a lot of places are, service was beyond exceptional definitely going to be a regular here
Great service with a genuine smile. Great, hot, fresh food. Reasonable prices. I will definitely return.
Apparently not a lot of their customers leave reviews, either that or they have a LOT of return customers who have already left reviews. I guess it really doesnβt matter. They have been in business for several years. You can clearly see the kitchen from the front counter and they keep it clean just like the seating area and restroom. I have nothing negative to say. I only hope they remain successful and stick around so I can enjoy their food again.
Been coming here for a while and had no idea I hadn't written a review. This is my favorite restaurant in Fargo, the staff is always absolutely wonderful, the food is excellent, and I mean excellent. I already love Thai food, but Thai Kota gives such an amazing take on so many dishes, and they are always cooked to perfection! I cannot recommend this place enough. If I had to eat at one place the rest of my life, this would be it!
Surprisingly tasty Thai food, very friendly staff and owner.
Didn't expect to find maybe the best Thai of my life in North Dakota. Drunken MaMa, pork belly, and spring rolls were all divine!
Great thai food, loved it and will definitely be back. Very authentic, great flavors and love the aunties in the kitchen.
We stopped here based on the reviews while in Fargo and, sadly, we were disappointed. We love Thai food & our meals just missed the mark. Maybe the Chef had an off day.
Some of the best Thai food in Fargo.
Try the Khao Soi or Nam Prik Oong, you will see heaven.
Authentic high quality food and staff is very friendlyπ. Only recommendation is finding other alternatives to using plastic utensils and to go boxes for dine-ins for environmental reasons.
Great service. Online ordering is quick and easy through square. Food was amazing and was done quicker than the estimated time.
Some of the best Thai food Iβve had in a really long time! The khao soi curry and fish sauce wings are out of this world!!
Food was ok, expected great with their current 4.9 rating
The food taste sooo good with reasonable prizes. Staff are friendly. Service is great!!! Must try restaurant in Fargo.
No fuss restaurant, very friendly staff, great food, fresh and tasty
Food was authentic, portions and prices were really reasonable. Weβll definitely come back again to try different dishes on the menu.
Best Thai fusion in town ππ»
Always great!
Oh my goodness the best food EVER! The flavors are amazing! Love the entire menu! My office is right around the corner and I am so fortunate to be close to this amazing restaurant! Take the time and stop to enjoy the food and meet the friendly owners! Thank you for the wonderful food I LOVE IT!!
Great Wall colors, funky music. Very nicely hand written menu, tv made us very hungry. Saw an old friend, and someone who looked like an old friend. Had the delight of serving ourself our own water (in reusable plastic cups that were from target and made us feel right at home), and got to grab our own utensils! Recommend the Gau Gee, very yummy. Very friendly wait staff, we stayed past closing and they were still so hospitable and fun! Foo very very yummy.
Had the chicken Thai fried rice for lunch, it was excellent! Very generous portion, a blend of excellent flavors, might just be my favorite in the FM area! This was my first time here but I will definitely be back-thank you!
Best Thai food in the area β weβre lucky to have them!
I have not had a bad meal from ThaiKota. It hits every time. They have the best fried rice in Fargo. My girlfriend gets the pad Thai and she also loves it. The portions are great. The staff is friendly. Itβs always a bonus when they have cakes in the cooler also. I canβt recommend them enough for a bite when downtown.
Some of the best Thai I've ever had. Try the curry, the drunken noodles and you won't regret it. 10 out of 10 will go back.
Best spring rolls in town!
This place rocks, food is incredible. 10/10
If you are looking for traditional Thai food this is the place for you. The depth if favors and the heat is spot on. The owners and staff are so nice and fast.
Probably the best food Iβve ever had in my life, plus extremely reasonably priced, I would have been ecstatic even if I paid twice as much
Awesome food, thak you guys.
Absolutely love this place! The service is always exceptional and the food is the best Iβve ever had! I canβt wait to come back and try another new dish.
Perfect Thai street food. We enjoyed the Fried Rice and Pad Thai. Both exhibited wonderful complexities. Every bite was slightly different in texture, herbs, mouth feel, and flavor.
Tried this out for the first time tonight and we all LOVED it, such great food with amazing flavors and SO fresh! We thought it was neat that the owners are husband and wife running the whole show and making your meal. We even got to go orders to have for the next day, it's THAT good! Don't judge it by the outside, just go in and try their food!
Unbelievably delicious food and incredible, kind, quick service. I will most certainly be a repeat customer!
ThaiKota has ruined my life. After many years of thinking that the best Thai restaurant in the upper midwest was only a few miles from my house in the Minneapolis area, ThaiKota has set a new standard for what excellent Thai should taste like. Now I'll have to settle for adequate Thai unless I'm in Fargo. Fortunately, I'm here on business often and will undoubtedly return for a repeat life-ruining experience.
I can't believe the audacity of the people who left one or two star reviews:
"...you need to go get your Owen water and small cheap plastic utensils." Jabronis like you, who eat Thai with anything other than chopsticks and are too oblivious to the fact that this is a take-out restaurant that offers pleasant spaces to dine on-site, should have their internet access taken away.
"Closed on Sunday!? Why? So random and it's such a popular day to eat out." How audacious of a small family owned business to take a day off on the weekend, likely to spend quality time together outside of work. Your "Local Guide" status should be revoked.
"You could find better tasting places that don't cause stomach aches." I realize we are in North Dakota, however if you can't handle food that actually has flavor, maybe you should stick to your 5 star reviews of McDonalds.
I absolutely recommend the fresh spring rolls and Ka naa Moo Krob with fried pork belly, which were both exceedingly fabulous.
Best family owned restaurant in town. Friendly staff and delicious food
Friendly service. Fantastic food.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the John Borge Studio in Fargo, North Dakota, and it was truly a remarkable experience. This studio is a hidden gem in the art scene of Fargo and deserves the highest praise.
The moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The studio itself is spacious and well-lit, creating the perfect environment to appreciate the artwork. The walls were adorned with a stunning display of John Borge's paintings, showcasing his incredible talent and unique style.
John Borge's artwork is simply breathtaking. His use of color, texture, and brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and emotion that is truly captivating. From vibrant landscapes to intimate portraits, each piece tells its own story and leaves a lasting impression. I was particularly impressed by the level of detail and the way he captures light and shadows in his work.
What sets the John Borge Studio apart is the opportunity to meet the artist himself. John Borge was present during my visit and was more than willing to share his inspiration and techniques. His passion for art is evident in every conversation, and his knowledge and expertise are truly impressive. I felt privileged to have the opportunity to talk with him and gain insight into his creative process.
In addition to the stunning artwork, the John Borge Studio also offers art classes and workshops. This is a fantastic opportunity for aspiring artists to learn from a master and enhance their skills. The studio creates a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters creativity and growth.
The pricing of the artwork at the John Borge Studio is reasonable and reflects the quality and value of the pieces. The studio also offers the option to purchase prints and reproductions, making the artwork accessible to a wider audience.
Overall, my experience at the John Borge Studio was nothing short of exceptional. The talent and craftsmanship displayed in John Borge's artwork is truly awe-inspiring, and the opportunity to meet the artist himself was a privilege. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply appreciate beauty and creativity, a visit to the John Borge Studio is a must. You will be immersed in a world of exquisite artwork and leave with a deep appreciation for the talent and passion of this remarkable artist.
Easily one of the best places I have ever had Thai. Reminded me of my time in Thailand
Literally the best Tom Yum soup Iβve had outside of Thailand! So so good!
Awesome food and great people! Weβll be back for sure!
I really liked the curry. It fed my soul and more. But I really don't know what to do with the chicken drummies with the skin on it. It was difficult to get the skin off and irritating to pick the meat off the bone. The chicken drummy is hot too, so it couldn't be held. The preparation of the food was a little too down to earth for me.
Awesome experience has vegan options
Great Northern ThaΓ― food!! Special of the day was succulent. Only downside is that they donβt have beerβ¦ ;)
When the register has a Fargo Street Hawks sticker you know you are in for a good time. Food was great, people were good people, the patio area was shady and perfect for a summer day. If you time it you can go hit up BDS book store and have a great day. The drunken mama was Nordakota hot. So spicy but not, you feel the burn twice hot.
The food is fantastic! Try it and you'll agree.
The food was tasty. I asked for extra spicy, and they just added a lot of chili flakes instead.
Not what I was expecting after reading all the glowing reviews. It was good food but not great food. The starter, Gau Gee was really good but the main, pork Pad Thai, was average or less. Too sweet, the noodles looked and tasted like spaghetti pasta, and the pork was chewy. Didnβt like the plastic spoons or the do it yourself drinks, etc. Not a bad place to grab a quick lunch if you are hungry for Asian but nothing get excited about.

Always happy to see you, they recognize repeat clients and itβs a chill environment. They started delivering to the cider house down the block and weβve never had a bad experience. Best spring rolls in town, hands down.
Really delicious food and Really enjoyed the kind service!
Great food, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. Ordered for take out and I will be back for more!
Thaikota is one of my favorite local restaurants. If you like some spice, the Drunken MaMa is not to be missed. The Fresh Spring Rolls are yummy and fresh. Their food is consistently delicious.
Had lunch/dinner here because I was extremely surprised by the reviews. It was my first time trying this restaurant as I am not originally from Fargo. When we got there the lady was incredibly helpful and gave us some great options to try. Costumer service was for sure great. When it came to the food I will say I came with my hopes a little high. For the appetizer we got the fried dumplings which were fine nothing out of this world. The pad Thai, well it was somewhat disappointing, in my opinion it was extremely sweet, which the lime and chili helped but overall not my favorite, although I do see why people would enjoy it. And lastly we got the pork with herbs which was my favorite thing that we ordered. Spicy, aromatic, savory, and incredibly fresh, paired with perfectly cooked white rice it was something I do suggest you to get. I really want to try more of the menu as I believe we missed out on that papaya salad, or the curry which everyone was getting. I truly hope I can visit Fargo again soon to experience more Thai flavors!
ThaiKota is amazing! The people are so friendly. Tom Yum Noodle Soup is one of the best things Iβve ever eaten. In my life!
I had the chicken pad Thai and it was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
The sheer variety of flavors, textures, and dimensions of gustatory experience always surprise me here no matter how many times I go. The subtleties of the Pad Thai or the robustness of the chili and sausage, and all the Thai pickling elements create a fantastically engaging meal. The outdoors patio has much more room than inside, so I enjoy eating there during the summer. The service is always above par in friendliness and excellence.
Tip: remember to ask for the sauces to add to your rice for an extra bit of spice and flavor.
The patio is very pretty and I loved the music. This was the best Thai food Iβve had.
These guys a killing it. Seriously with a try!
The food was incredible! The portions are big and it tastes delicious. Great staff and a great place.
Food was good. Would be better if they gave you real plates and silverware.
food was quite good and ready for pickup on time!
Best Thai food in the State. One of the best restaurants in Fargo. Friendly staff and owners. There isn't one thing on the menu that won't blow your mind.
The best Thai food Iβve ever had. The Tom Yum Noodle Soup was to die for. Reasonably priced too. I could not recommend this place any higher.
My favorite place to eat in town... every dish I get is just as good as the last
Fantastic food, wonderful customer service. The chef even specialized the order to our liking. Best Thai food in North Dakota!
Always great food and a friendly smile. My wife and I love to get take out on a Friday night and invited friends to join us. Mouth waters just thinking about the food!
A Gem.
Small place with excellent food!
After a poor experience at Porter hardwood grill, it was such a pleasure to find this simple restaurant with excellent menu options, knowledgeable staff and quick service. The soi curry was excellent, a rich peanut and yellow curry flavor contrasted by the pickled vegetables and crispy noodles. Highly recommended. Eat here and then head to fargo brewing for drinks!
Delicious every time
What a unique place to experience! The food was INCREDIBLE β my fiancΓ© and I were in awe. The owners and other workers were so kind and personable! 10/10 would recommend!
Great food and great service.
The service was great. They offered great suggestions on what to order and offered an extra bowl making it easier to share our food
The food amd service were amazing!
Employees are super friendly, food is fresh and amazing quality!
Always so good!!
It's a delicious casual spot with friendly staff.
Authentic menu and ingredients for the region. Currently the best Thai cuisine in the area. Over and above customer service. Staff are more than ready to help first timers navigate the menu. Cute and quaint with outdoor seating. Great takeout service.
Was so good our new favorite spot to eat in the Fargo Morehead area! Amazing food so wish there was one in Fergus Falls MN I'd eat there every day of the week!
Very good food. Smaller dining area, good variety on the menu
Absolutely incredible food, made from scratch. Everything is tasty and they have awesome vegetarian options with some of the most delicious tofu ever! π Do NOT let the fact that they are in the back of a gas station fool you. This place is incredible and you won't be sorry for trying it.
I definitely found it easier to review the menu online and decide what I wanted. The seating area is very small, but I always order to go. You can order online! They also have a water station if you dine in. Chopsticks are available. And your food comes in a handy little container to bring your leftovers home because the portions are HUGE.
Seriously do yourself a favor and try it. You won't be sorry.
LOVE THIS PLACE! We were just driving through ND and happened to stop here. Employees are so so sweet and the food is better than most Thai places in the Twin Cities
The best Thai food (and some of my favorite overall) in Fargo! Incredible food, great service and large portions. I'm always craving ThaiKota! I appreciate the opportunity to try authentic dishes not often served at other restaurants. The weekly specials are always amazing too.
The food is always delicious and everything I have tried has been good! Very friendly staff and owners. The Drunken Mama is definitely a favorite. Hands down best spring rolls in town! Thank you!
Great unique Thai cuisine. Affordable great tasting food. Service is excellent
What can I say but outstanding food and I can't wait until I eat there again
Food and service is amazing!
This food is on another level. New favorite!
A nice cozy place with both indoor and outdoor seating area. I loved the food and ambiance here. We tasted Thai fried rice and Khao soi curry, both the dishes were delicious and we absolutely loved the food. Khao soi curry is the best I have tasted at this restaurant. I like their idea of using recyclable paper boxes and containers for serving the food. On the whole I would give a 5 star for the food and the ambiance.
Great food, excellent service and hospitality towards our kiddos. Highly recommend!
First timer here and I had high expectations based on other reviews... let me tell you: Thaikota did not disappoint!
I ordered the Crispy Gau Gee as well as the Khao Soi. Both were greatly made with awesome presentation (even for a to-go order). The yellow curry was a blend of rich seasonings and sweetness! Fresh, flavorful & perfect portions.
Will definitely be coming back!
So good!
Go here!!! Deserves more then 5 stars !
The food was Delicious and the staff were so kind! Definitely my new favorite Thai place!!!
Fast, delicious, authentic, friendly, good customer service and the weekly specials make it a great place to try new dishes. I like that it's specifically Northern Thai. Yummy.
