With its inviting atmosphere and prompt service, it has quickly garnered praise. Customers like Chelsea Chen rave about the delightful array of dishes offered at reasonable prices. The menu features an impressive selection of stir-fried noodles, including the tantalizing Pad Thai and spicy Pad Kee Mao, both priced around $16.95.

Great food. All the curries are great and try the Khao soi. Also the crispy rice is delicious. If you like spicy stuff they can do that too, but beware medium is Thai medium not American medium.

Walked in and was quick to get seated. Only ordered pork/shrimp spring rolls, chicken Pad Thai, and Thai iced tea for two people but no impact to service. The Pad Thai was flavorful and the portion was huge (easily two meals), but can’t speak heavily as I don’t have much experience with the dish. The spring rolls on the other hand were delicious. Rice paper had a great texture with no dryness, packed full, and the dipping sauce was complimentary without being overpowering. Thai tea was good but too sweet.

My uncles Star and Sam from North Minneapolis recommended me this place because they know ya mans Flip, saying this was authentic Thai / Lao food, saying he know how to cook good food. I remember Flip coming by the house back then, not sure if he cooked for us or not. I don't know Flip as much as Sam or Star, but I know he cooks like my grandma. The food is like crack: so good, almost tastes like home. Maybe he was cooking food for us at the house, I can't tell, I don't know. I just know it brought tears to my eyes when I tasted it.

This place is seriously a true gem. The food is so authentic and the flavors are amazing. I had the papaya salad with sticky rice and it truly tasted like how my adopted Laotian grandma would make it. The vegetable egg rolls were also delicious.

The Thai food here is very good. I had the Pad Kee Mao with chicken and medium spice. It was just right. My wife had the lettuce wraps and what she didn’t finish, I ate. The host/waiter was nice and the food and service was prompt.
