One of the best sushi spots in Minnepolis! My girl and I were craving a good grubbing and discovered Flamin Thai! Once the plates came out and I looked around us there were dishes that had great presentation to them. As our dishes came out they were beautiful curated and tasted amazing! Service was phenomenal and parking wasn't the worst! Music was calm and collected, but the crowd was wild with a birthday party was happening! Loved it! Definitely coming back for Thai food! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner, and it delivered! I did not really know what to expect, but it ended up being perfect. There weren't too many people here for a Friday night.. but it was a bit later (like 9pm) so we sat at the bar. Got drinks immediately. Again, my classic grey goose club soda lemon lime. Delicious, per usual. Got a few sushi rolls (can't remember which) but they were all really good. Super light, fresh, not too heavy, and just quality sushi! Finally, got a mango sticky rice as a free dessert for my birthday. The staff was super friendly and nice.. I really enjoyed the vibe and food here and would definitely be back! I loved the bar vibe here. Definitely somewhere that I could come just to have a few drinks and a few bites. read more

After a day of running errands and forgetting to eat breakfast, we decided to swing in here around 1pm on a Sunday for lunch. The sign said seat yourself so we picked a table by the window. There were only a few others dining in with us and a couple of takeout orders. For drinks we decided on a basic large hot sake & a lychee martini. After having one at another establishment recently, I must say, this one was fantastic - refreshing but still had kick & the little fruits speared like olives! As the main course we ordered the Viking Roll and Mexican Roll. The rolls were cut perfectly even. The viking roll was our favorite overall & texturally. They were big pieces, but they had a lot of flavor to pack into one bite! The mexican roll was okay, I'm not actually sure it's what we ordered - I couldn't find the mango or jalapeño. The ambiance was bright, lofted, modern & green. I could tell our server was having a bad day, but I'd definitely come back to try the other side of their menu! We did paid street parking a block away. read more

I seriously think about this Thai basil fried rice, so often! Hands-down, one of the best Thai food restaurants that we have in Minneapolis. Their food selection is top-notch and their quality is even better. We had sushi, and some traditional Thai dishes. I would say the curry and the Thai basil fried rice was by far my favorite. Just a heads up, we went on a Friday around dinner time and it was super busy. So plan ahead as their space is small for sit down. I have gotten their food to go before and it is a great option as well. Their service was super quick for how busy they were and I was very impressed. read more

Thai food is my favorite and some friends told me to try this spot. Went here for date night, didnt make reservations cause it was last minute but we still got in. First I want to say this whole area is terrible for parking and there is a lot to park in right next door but it's about $10 for an hour. We walked in and weren't really greeted for maybe 5 minutes. I'm not sure if they were understaffed but it wasnt crazy busy. Sat down and the bartender was the waitress. She was super friendly and excited to have us. Really explained a lot of the menu and had suggestions. We ordered some food and drinks. My drink was pretty good. I enjoyed the wings, good sauce and crispy. Kapoon was really good, my date had never had it before and she liked it. I didnt really like the rice cause it lacked flavor for me. The sushi was pretty good also. At times it just felt like the service was slow. Also when getting everything to go, I guess I would have assumed they would box it up for me with their prices and also the fact that I'm trying to box up a soup. Not a terrible experience, just not one of my favorites. Other things on the menu sparked my interest but not sure if its enough for me to go back. read more

Met my family here for dinner. The restaurant is decorated very cute. The servers were very helpful getting our order in and even provided suggestions based on what we told them we liked. The food we ordered all had great flavor. The prices were a little on the spendy side but I imagine their rent for this area is not cheap. We would definitely come back. read more

As my first photos shows, this is a pleasant, modern space. That, along with the extensive menu and friendly service, promised much, but my meal was ultimately quite disappointing. I got the mixed veg stir-fry (Rainbow Medley) with shrimp. It was nicely plated, but two issues I had with it are evident from my photo: first, it was rather oily. And second, the veg mix was off, with way too many green peppers and onions (it's natural to suspect a cost motive here). What's less clear from the photo was that the vegetables were all overcooked, with the broccoli and mushrooms having been reduced to mush. Others seem to have had better experiences here, so I would be curious to try something different. read more

We went at 6 pm on a Wednesday. We were sat right away and there were plenty of open tables. Food 4/5. The spring rolls were fresh and were well balanced by the sauce included. I got the red curry which had amazing flavor. I got medium spice and felt this balanced the dish perfectly. My only complaint was the bamboo. It was cut in long pieces almost like noodles, and was very challenging to eat with the included spoon. Service 4/5: we were sat right away and our order was put in quickly. Our spring rolls and main entrees also came in a timely fashion. We did wait awhile for someone to check back in on us to get our checks and to go boxes. Ambiance 5/5: they have a cute selfie wall in the back. Overall the restaurant was clean and tidy. We had sufficient space at our tables and loved the view from the window. If you're in the neighborhood and are looking for Thai food, this is definitely a must try!! read more

We visited Saturday evening, we utilized paid street parking and we were seated right away. The restaurant wasn't busy. Khloe was a good server, checking in with us and giving us updates on our food while we waited. We started off with the baked mussels, they were so delicious I really enjoyed the sauces on top. The lychee connection was dangerously good, with the right balance of sweetness and alcohol. I really did not like the wait In between getting our drinks, our appetizer or our entree which was about 10-20 mins. My husband got his food before I got my sushi another ten minutes later. However, although our wait times were significant because the sushi chefs were behind the food was delicious. The sushi and sashimi combo comes with a great variety of fresh fish. Some even had a little wasabi underneath. The pepper steak also had the right amount of spice and sweetness. I would recommend visiting here but heads up you may wait awhile. read more

Came here for lunch and used a BOgO deal for the sushi rolls Sushi was great, chef was nice who makes them The red snapper curry tasted good but was difficult to eat as whole fish and bones and we were not given actual sized plates to eat them on or discard of the bones until we kept asking for plates The cashew stir fry with pork lacked some flavor in my opinion and not like the typical stir fry I'm used to Also none of our dishes came out with the beautiful hibiscus flowers that I see all over social media and other patrons dishes had them so I'm sure they just forgot ? Would try some other dishes if in the area again and hope it's an improvement since I hear great things about them read more

Minnesotans be warned: they mean their spice levels. I can usually handle a little spicier than average, but not here. I ordered a medium red curry with chicken and it was delicious, but my nose was running like crazy. Next time I will try mild/medium. My partner ordered hot drunken noodles, and also said it was spicy (I did not dare to try it). We also got the fried eggrolls which were very yummy The ambiance is nice, and they have tables that can fit large groups. There was a wait when we went in on a Friday, though there was space at the bar. We had an issue with ordering, however. We ordered online for pickup, only to arrive after our scheduled time and find out that our order had not gone through. The staff all seemed very confused, and were not super friendly about it, and then had to rush to put the order through while I stood there waiting. So that was a snafu and not a great experience, but I would try again to see if it's a pattern or a one-off. 4 stars for this reason, but I would go back. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner and was immediately seated. Staff was friendly and inquired about our knowledge of Thai food and Laotian, offering guidance. We immediately ordered spring rolls and their sweet green curry with medium spice as well as the red at Thai delight curry also, medium spice. Both came out with a healthy serving of rice and steaming bowls of curry filled with vegetables. *Tip* You could easily share these dishes if you aren't looking to take anything home as we each had about half of our meals to take home. We loved the creamy flavor, filled broth- No notes, these were so delicious. Also, the environment is super cute with a photo like wall, where you could take pictures. They really produced a vibey restaurant that fits with the diversity of University Ave. read more

Just had Thai food from here for the first time. The crispy eggrolls were SO GOOD! I got a pad Thai with beef, and the flavors weren't quite authentic but still hit the spot. We did have a miscommunication with our order and ended up with a pho with no meat because we said no to extra meat, and they ended up giving us no meat at all. Otherwise, it was a nice spot! read more

This is a perfect spot for a flavorful meal in a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is big and open, with a huge bar and a very nice interior design, though it's a bit dark toward the back of the restaurant. Our server was friendly and accommodating, happily adjusting our meals to meet our preferences. I also appreciated how well-paced the meal was--apps first, then the main course, giving us time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed like when other restaurants bring everything all at once/one quickly after the other. The pot stickers were delicious, perfectly crispy though slightly lukewarm--but still enjoyable. The real star was the Drunken Noodle, which was absolutely amazing with just the right amount of spice. Every bite was filled with various delicious flavors and textures. The portions were generous, leaving us with plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. Flamin' Thai is definitely worth a visit for the great food, thoughtful service, and cozy yet modern ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

Great Happy Hour spot for tasty sushi and cocktails. My wife and I had 6 different rolls --all very tasty and prepared well. Staff were nice and welcoming.

Definitely more of a takeout vs dine-in place in my experience, but really great red curry! Coming out of a Yelp event in the charming Northeast district (I'm not from Twin Cities, just trying out the lingo here so let me know if I missed what this area is actually called), and was glad to have a highly rated Thai restaurant across the road to check out. I did a quick dine in, sat at the bar, and as mentioned at the top, this is probably better when taking to-go. It was pretty quiet in here, and the service was pretty direct and to the point. For the food: I love a good curry, and this was a damn good red curry. Perfect consistency, lots of veggies and tofu, and a perfect spice level for what I was after. I may or may not have been sweating at the bar, but that's a good thing IMO. The whole experience was businesslike and the food was perfect. I'd definitely order in from here if I'm in the area. read more

Came because of the positive reviews. Left wishing for a bit more -- ordered the Drunken noodles, which were not bad, a bit too vinegary for my tastes and the sauce was a bit soupier than I was used to, although the presentation was well done.

Upon walking into this cute and cozy restaurant you are greeted with cool wall art and a very chill and welcoming atmosphere...some of the music played was Norah jones, David gray- esque music. For a Monday evening this place was quite popular especially with takeout. I was yet again excited to try some exotic cuisine that's hard to find in my neck of the woods. I ordered the Tom Kha Gai Soup which is a coconut milk soup, lemongrass, mushrooms, onions...one of my favs at a Thai restaurant plus I ordered it with some tofu. The dish took quite a while to get roughly 40 minutes but it gave me some time to relax and unwind from a long day. Once I did receive it, the soup came with a side of rice. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I couldn't finish it all so I took the leftovers home for another meal. The only comment I have to make the dish better would be smaller sizes of the tofu. The pieces are pretty huge chunks which is hard to eat when placed on the spoon. The service was great and I can't wait to come back to try more Thai dishes! read more

I ordered it as takeout so I don't have an opinion on the service, but the food is INCREDIBLY SPICY and I think they got my order wrong. I was expecting "medium" spice level lo mein to have a kick, but this was ridiculously spicy and honestly very painful to eat. I have a somewhat high spice tolerance and I had some other people try it and agreed it was unnecessary too spicy. I wouldn't have minded it so much if it didn't give me horrible indigestion and make me almost vomit. Otherwise flavor wasn't bad. Next time I hope they get my spice level order right because goodness it was an unpleasant experience..(especially for it costing $22 for a small-ish to-go container of noodles) read more

Great atmosphere, wonderful food! Servers are always great :) have gone on many dates here and always good experience!

This place is awesome! I love the ambiance and service. Would recommend traditional Thai food- although they have fusion food as well.

Best place ever!! The egg rolls and pad Thai are one of the best I've ever had. Thank you for such great service.

Run, don't walk, to Flamin' Thai if you have not been there yet! (Be careful not to run into all that construction though.) We had been avoiding the area because of all the construction in NE, honestly, but decided to finally brave it and get some Thai food. Despite construction, we were able to find cheap metered parking right outside ($1/hr). The restaurant was decently busy for a Sunday lunch, but service was quick considering there was just the one server. I got the Veggie roll (avocado, mango), Potstickers, and Red Thai curry delight. You can set your own spice level- medium, hot, and flamin hot- which is great since everyone has their own preference. I went with hot, which was perfect for me (and actually spicy!, for someone who enjoys spicy food). Appetizers were delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Little orchid flowers came with each dish. Red curry was indeed delightful and a good size portion! After those apps, I had to get half the curry to take home. Will return again soon, but perhaps for dinner so I can pair with some of the drinks! read more

I have to say, I'm disappointed in the food. I ordered: beef pad Thai, Alaskan roll, and their chicken wings. Pad Thai is NOT flavorful at all! It is NOT worth $20. SUPER disappointing! Alaskan roll, it is not portrayed as the pictures online (DoorDash). In the picture, there is a sauce on top & flakes of some sort too. The sushi roll I received is plain. No sauce, nothing. Disappointed. The wings, amazing. Flavorful, delicious, I would totally recommend. 6 wings for $15, a bit over priced, but they are tasty. Overall, super disappointed I spent $45ish dollars on this. read more

I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was not busy at all so we got a table right away. Our server was kind and quick to get our drinks and food order. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken while others in my group ordered pineapple fried rice and massaman curry. The pad Thai was pretty flavorless and needed more sauce. The pineapple fried rice was also pretty flavorless but the massaman curry was phenomenal! So much coconut flavor -- delicious! My husband ordered a couple sushi rolls and seaweed salad. The waiter forgot about the seaweed salad but when we asked for it, he brought it right away. Sushi was ok, nothing special. In terms of atmosphere, there was plenty of tables and the restrooms were clean-ish. If I'm in the area again, I would come back. However, I wouldn't make the drive for it. read more

Flamin Thai is a fine restaurant. But falls short of other Thai options in the twin cities. I wouldn't not go back, but I wouldn't choose to go there again either. We've visited twice. FOOD: the food is alright. I'm a fan of Thai so any Thai seems to be of at least good quality, but this didn't surpass expectations. I got the veggie stir fry with shrimp. And the other time the veggie stir fry with tofu. The veggies are ok. Quality is fine. Choice of vegetables is a little unbalanced but that's a small detail. The shrimp was fishy and I didn't like that much. The tofu was soft and not super well cooked. However the flavor of the dish was good. Another strange detail was that the dish ware (and portion size) appear to vary between our two visits which were only a few weeks apart. PRICE: it is more pricey compared to other Thai options in the cities. As well, the amount we were charged didn't match the menu price. The serving staff were happy to change it though. The menu price would be alright but still pricey, but the actually charged price was even steeper (about 12% raised). PARKING: it's northeast so there's street parking (paid) nearby and neighborhood (free) parking if you're willing to walk. SERVICE: acceptable. The staff were friendly but not the best at managing multiple tables. I'm sure that this isn't their fault but rather just a poorly planned management plan. They seemed to be doing their best. They were accommodating but getting more water and utensils took a bit and some drink items were forgotten. Overall though, they were friendly and that's what's most important to me. Second most important would be more attention to water, order details, needs, etc. With some changes, I think flamin Thai could regain some of the greatness I've heard about in its past. They have the recipe for a great restaurant and there's just a few small details that would make me choose other great Thai options in the twin cities. read more

First time dining here and I'm not impressed. Went there on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy. I had ordered a drink and the Gino roll. It took a while for my sushi to get to me so I assumed it would be AMAZING but no it was not. The roll was falling apart and was not fried like the description had stated. I did not bother to return it because I was hungry and they were so short staffed it would've taken forever to get another dish. read more

I was here Tuesday around 3 pm. They had a sign lit up that said they were open, and it was during their business hours. They had two sets of doors, one with menus posted that said use other door. I tried all four doors over and over again, and they would not open. There were no people eating inside. I thought I saw someone behind the sushi counter move out of my line of vision. I stood there for 15 minutes checking my email. No one opened the door for me, no one went in or came out. Very strange. read more

The food and service is on point. The Lao dishes are where it's at! The pork sausage and sticky rice is a very tasty bite. As well as the crispy rice with fermented pork.
