Came back for dinner with a large party of 13 on a Sunday night this time. Was surprised to see it…read morewas still pretty busy throughout the night. They were able to seat us all at one large table. We ordered from the set menu for 8 and then added on three main dishes (eggs with bittermelon , tofu chow fun and fish flavored eggplant and tofu) and orders of fried spring rolls for everyone. Everything was cooked well and the variety of the set menu was good. A lot of the dishes you can choose between having it steamed/sauteed or fried which is nice. The amount of seafood in the set menu was really good too. We had walleye, lobster, shrimp, squid, clams and oysters. My favorite dishes ended up being the tofu ones which they had a lot of options for as well. It ends with a nice bowl of sweet coconut, tapioca and taro soup. Even though we ordered the set menu for 8, they brought out enough bowls for the starter soup and the dessert for 13 which was nice. Service was pretty good. Classic Chinese style :)

I've been going to Peking Garden since I was a kid with my parents, and this place is a go to for…read morefamily outings. The restaurant is spacious and can easily accommodate larger groups of people. The food is from what I remember has been consistent and delicious, the only thing that's notable changed is the price, which can be on the pricier side nowadays unfortunately. This time around I took a small group of friends here and ordered some of my favorites. The peking style pork chop is a classic here, deep fried and moist with a sweet and sour sauce. The best part about this dish is that there's no bones either (unlike some of the other pork dishes). The beef chow fun is what I believe the best beef chow fun in MN. It's so freaking good I think you just have to try it for yourself. Another classic starter dish I got was the seafood tofu soup. Hot, thick seafood soup with tofu is refreshing to start with, and when you top it off with a dash of white pepper it gets even better. The fried oysters are a recent addition to my favorites; cripsy without too much fishiness/oceanic flavor, and also very meaty. The batter and salt/pepper onion flavoring is also very strong and pairs well with the oysters. And lastly I usually get some sort of vegetable. This time around I got the yu choi in garlic sauce, which was clean and just tender enough to add a nice bite of fresh veggie to our meal. I would also recommend the achoy or chinese brocolli if you're into that as well. They also give you a free dessert of what I think is taro tapicoa soup? Either way it's a nice sweet treat to end the meal on.

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.

They have à la carte entrees or you can do lunch or dinner combos that come with fried rice and an appetizer. This time we ordered kung pao chicken dinner combo with fried rice and 2 cream cheese wontons. It's a nice sized portion. Lots of crunchy vegetables and peanuts, nice amount of chicken. It's a good balance of tangy, salty, sweet, and spicy. The fried rice was a little dry. Fried wontons were light and crispy, with a creamy interior. We also ordered the beef chow fun. It had good an amount of beef slices that were tender. Noodles were bouncy. Mild smoky wok flavor. Service was friendly, plenty of parking in the strip mall.

It's a cute and quaint little hole in the wall restaurant and when we arrived we didn't see any others. BUT we were pleasantly surprised! We loved all the dishes that we got. The kapoon (curry noodles), the Thai sausage (very unique for TC's - hard to find here), and pho cao (steamed rice rolls) were delicious! Everything came out warm, the waitress was very attentive, and the ambiance of the place felt very homey! The only thing I would note is that the Kapoon is a little bit fishy because they use fermented fish sauce, if you're not used to that then it could be jarring. Would definitely come here again!

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 restaurant had 2 groups dining-in which was odd given the lunch hour. My food was being prepared so I waited and was greeted by a friendly hostess. Great service and hospitality. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. Portion size was good however the noodles were bathing in a pool of sauce. The noodles were rather thick, not what I'm used to for pad see Ew. They were generous with the chicken but only a few pieces of broccoli. Traditionally, this is served w Chinese broccoli, however if you want that, it's $2-3 extra. Plenty for 3 meals but was rather disappointing. Perhaps there are other dishes here that stand out but the jury is out as to whether I'll be back to try something else.

We ordered the beef laab, salt and pepper fried shrimp, seafood delight, and purple sticky rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The beef laab was excellent and came with fresh lettuce and cucumbers. The salt and pepper fried shrimp had great flavor, and the seafood delight was loaded with vegetables and seafood. You can tell they don't cut corners on quality. We didn't have to wait long for our food, which was another plus. The ladies working there were very polite, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. There was also plenty of parking available, and I noticed they have plenty of seating inside if you decide to dine in. Even though we ordered takeout this time, the restaurant looked clean and inviting. Overall, it was definitely worth the drive, and we'll absolutely be back. Next time, we will dine in so we can enjoy the full experience. Thanks, Little Asia. You earned some repeat customers!

They heard about that the food was good from others. I can tell they did not disappoint.

I will say even the next day after the flavors have had an opportunity to marinate the spice level increases, glad we stuck with medium. Sorry no pictures we ate too fast. Lol. I would definitely eat here again when back in the area. Service was great , nice and polite employees.

To be transparent, I have been here before, but it's just been a long time. Food was on a menu with some trays going around. I did miss the carts, but I understand entirely why that is cumbersome, as the space was a little tight if it were busy. When we were there, there weren't issues. I did like the food. It was all so quick coming out and still super fresh. The sticky rice was probably my favorite item. My least favorite was the chili oil. I'm one of those people who eats ALL the oil and drinks like 3 pots of tea. Unfortunately, it's not really all that spicy, but that is a personal preference.

The reviews are valid! It is a tiny place in a strip mall (by Cub and Little Caesars) so ambience is not why you come here. The menu had many authentic Thai dishes, including papaya salad, tom kha gai soup, tom yum soup, and lots of curries and noodle dishes along with favorite Thai starters like spring rolls, egg rolls, chicken satay and gyoza. I went with a coconut curry dish, like a Tom Kha Gai with noodles, and husband got the Pad Thai. Service was fast and the spice level was great. We both ordered medium which was a true medium heat. Non spice fans will want to go with mild. My dish came with a side of pickled papaya - bonus!! I am looking forward to trying more dishes! Again note that it is in a strip mall so take out would probably be a great option. They do not have a liquor license but I will be back for the food.
