Food was better last year and the year before. Had the Balinese chicken thigh which seemed better in previous years but I still wouldn't kick it out of bed. Service was abhorrent. Like you know when you go to a restaurant and they make you feel like you are there for them and not the reverse? Disinterested, disengaged server who didn't check back. It felt like we were an inconvenience. Also, it's 2026 so it's weird when the server dismissively leaves one check without asking how to divide it for a party of six. Pretty weird. ANYwhoo the only thing our service guaranteed is that I won't be back. There are plenty of other options with great service and I'm sad that Hai Hai, a once mind blowingly amazing establishment in food, service, ambience has become where the tip decision is based solely on not wanting to hurt someone's livelihood. Such a shame.

Same with the egg rolls, lots of meat and veggies! Kapoon is for those who like it creamier w/ coconut and it is delicious. My grandmother was surprised how much meat they added. Could use more veggies though, but this is based on personal preference Space is small but fits a big family if you're planning to visit! Service was quick and will be back again

The steam roll peanut sauce was not good, the one from golden harvest is 10/10!! The kra pao was very delicious, got a 3/5 spicy and it wasn't spicy, but it was still very good. S/o ordered pho and it was neutral like any other pho, egg rolls weren't the best, very bland.

I was born and raised on Oahu, just moved to MN a handful of years ago and I'm always looking for food that reminds me of home. And this is one of them! Even the prices remind me of home?? I'm so impressed with the delicious food at such an amazing price point - you hardly see that in MN. Ramen is always soooo over priced, but not at Staff Meeting! We had the tonkotsu ramen, mom's fried rice, and the wings. All absolutely delicious and I'd get them all again. I wish they had the ribs, I was hoping to try it! I'll definitely return and highly encourage everyone to visit!!!!

Came here for date night at it was lovely! We had seen this place on TikTok and decided to give it…read morea try! The ambiance: This place is located in a small food hall! There were other great options too! So this would be a solid date spot or meeting with friends so everyone can get something they like. There is a fair amount of seating inside and a fair amount of seating outside on a patio. There really isn't a view for the patio. There are free parking lots across the street though! Service: This is where they lost a star from us. The woman who took our order had no energy, wasn't very friendly and just looked annoyed we were ordering. I had heard good things about the service, so this was a bummer. The food: We got them take out wings and each got the pork ramen. The wings are very good, but best in twin cities? No. Are they worth getting? If you love a crunchy wing, then yes! The ramen had the most flavorful broth!! Oh my goodness it was rich and full of flavor! The noddles were cooked perfectly! Definitely one of the best ramen dishes I have had in the twin cities! We would have tried the ribs but they were all out of :( Definitely check this place out!

This has quickly become one of my new favorite Asian restaurants in the Twin Cities. I initially…read morediscovered them through a collaboration on Instagram, but have been back many times as a paying customer. The owners, Mary and Tenzin, are the absolute best and sweetest people and business owners that you will ever meet! Hospitality through the roof. This spot is a new gem to me, it's quite small inside, but don't let it fool you, because the flavors are insane here. This is not one of those restaurants that caters to the MN pallet, if you know you know. I've really been on the search for extremely flavorful, ethnic restaurants, and this is absolutely one. Definitely come support this local business!

Had not been in here for a long time - my bad! They used to have mango rice. Which was unbelievably…read moregood. They did not have that anymore, but they did have their spring rolls with their peanut sauce. I'm vegan so I appreciate any place that offers vegan. Oh my goodness they are so tasty. I really like the peanut sauce - but since I live close by a couple blocks - I come home and I put extra peanut butter in it It's really really, really yummy the way they make it! I just like peanut butter

The broth was so flavorful and I usually douse my pho in hoisin and sriracha but the little serving they give you is just enough to compliment the flavor. With your soup you get a plate with all the fix-ins- cilantro, bean sprouts, basil, lime and a little dipping cup on housing and sriracha! This was so wholesome and filling - I couldn't have asked for a better lunch. Beef is tender, portion is very fair for the price and comes piping hot! Super impressed by this cute family-owned establishment. Standing o!

We went for it and we wer not disappointed. Located in a strip mall with a number of interesting food options (we will be back) LTK is a clean, pretty standard asian restaurant. Nothing fancy, but clean and nice. The staff was very pleasant and service was quick ( it was early on a Monday) The food is what made it. Definitely a step above your average Thai restaurant. It was a pleasure to eat and LTK is definitely on our repeat list.

We have been trying many local spots these days, and stumbled upon this one. Spoiler alert...the…read morefood was good, but the restaurant experience was not good. I'd only recommend for takeout. Plenty of parking in the shared lot. The interior of this space is fairly generic, but clean. Service was ROUGH! Their ice machine was "broken" so we had room temperature water, which was unfortunate given the spice level of the food. The heat inside was kicked up too high, so we were uncomfortably sweating. The order our food was delivered...entree #1, app #1, entree #2, app #2, all about 5 minutes apart (insert scratching head emoji). The server also didn't ask how spicy we wanted the Panang curry, and it came out blazing. I guess I'm just accustomed to them asking about Spice Level, especially in Minnesota. The food was great, so that redeemed the location amongst their service woes. Freshly fried Cream Cheese Wontons were little pillows of goodness. The Pork Egg Rolls were crispy and filled with flavor. My Pad Thai was very saucy, which I appreciated since sometimes places leave the dish too dry. The Panang Curry had good flavor, but as described above, was VERY spicy. Might give this spot another chance when I'm craving takeout, but likely won't dine in again.

The volume in the restaurant is quite loud, so the patio may be better if you don't want to speak up at the table. Service is on the slower side but the food is worth the wait. -- The Sakoo small plate was an incredible dish! The texture contrast between the filling, chewy exterior, and lettuce shell was fantastic. It was so flavorful and has a bit of a spice kick to it. -- The Mango Fish entree was packed with flavor, and is a very umami-forward dish. The piece of crispy salmon skin on the side is perfectly crunchy and salty. It's a filet of salmon (not a whole fish) and the salmon is nice and buttery. -- The Duck Fried Rice entree had good flavor but the duck meat was dry. It did not come with the duck leg or crispy skin, and instead had chunks of duck meat throughout the dish. This dish has a bit of a spice kick to it. -- The Pistachio Orange Blossom Cake dessert was SO GOOD. I'm not a huge dessert person and I ate every bite of this. The cake is so moist and pairs well with the fluffy mousse covering the cake. The little bits of baklava and orange zest complemented this dish really well.

Absolutely delicious and highly recommend. We had the scallops crudo as a starter and the flavor…read morewas phenomenal. I will be thinking of how good that dish is for the rest of my life; the coconut milk and lime combined with the texture of fresh seafood really hit the spot! The Thai basil wings and Massaman curry were very yummy also. I enjoyed my meal so thoroughly that I forgot to take many pictures. The presentation on my cocktail (a tonic with vodka and buddha hand fruit) was very pretty. Service was thoughtful and quick. The restaurant itself was beautiful and open and airy -- I almost felt like I wasn't in Minneapolis anymore. We went on a Tuesday, and only drawback I'd say is that the noise level can be a little bit loud due to the acoustics and how the room is one giant space. Otherwise, very happy with the restaurant and would go again.
