    Before I begin: 1. Be careful when you are looking at reviews or websites because there a several restaurants with the name Mai Thai. This is the one in Robbinsdale, off of Bottineau Blvd. 2. The address is on Lakeland Avenue, which really is a frontage road on the west side of Bottineau Blvd. It's one of those "you can't get there from here." The secret is to take 39th St (East) off Broadway, and make a right turn, OR follow France (east) at the point where France and Broadway meet. Use Google maps. It's not difficult, just weird. 3. I looked at all of the bad reviews (1 star and 2 star) for this restaurant and they are all very old. I had been to this restaurant over 10 years ago and was not very impressed. However, they must have changed ownership because now its an excellent Asian/Thai restaurant and very much worth a try. I have been there twice in the last few weeks. The Pork Egg Rolls are probably the best I've ever had, including the ones at Rainbow Chinese Restaurant. Order them for sure. The Chicken or Pork Pad Thai, as well as the Drunken Noodles (Stir fry wide noodles, egg, bell pepper, mushroom, tomato, onion and basil) are fantastic. The surprise Killer dish is the Pineapple Fried Rice (Egg, pineapple, peas, onions, cashew nuts, and raisins) which is absolutely, amazingly good, and now is literally my favorite Twin Cities fried rice. It is a very large order and can easily feed 2 to 3 people. The chicken sate was OK, but seemed a bit dry. The Crispy Pot Stickers lost their crispness on their way home, but probably would be much better in the restaurant. The service is very friendly and they fill take out orders very quickly. The restaurant itself is fairly large, but has the (lack of) charm of must Asian restaurants -- pretty utilitarian. I am very happy to see that Mai Thai has improved so much and encourage you to look at more recent reviews (post Covid).

    Mai goodness, these stir fries were good! You've gotta Thai them... haha I had to! My buddies and I had the Thai Basil Stir Fry, Cashew Stir Fry, and Pad Thai This place was pretty darn good. Very nice owner and open atmosphere. They have a statue of some of the Peanuts characters near the front which is fun! I loved the mushrooms in the first dish, and the chicken was fried lightly but flavorfully. The next one had the cashews as the highlight, with sautéed chicken, which was also tasty. The final one was our least favorite. The noodles were just a bit too thin for Pad Thai; I prefer thicker and wider noodles. But the peanut flavor and sauce were awesome, I'd buy a bottle of that stuff. Good for family or a group of friends, the fresh food from Mai Thai is sure to satisfy

    Just called to place an order for wings and jalapenos wontons.... I guess my order wasnt high enough, so I was advised of $15 minimum on credit card purchases. I asked how much my order was = $12.58. I unfortunately only had a credit card on me... so I was forced to cancel the order. What the heck?! I just wanna eat tasty jalapenos wontons and chicken.... Kind of a turn off... but I get it. I'm not ordering double food orders or stopping at the atm either. I got an immediate call back, same chick (different girl then who assisted me the first time) and was advised that she just remembered that debit cards were ok, just not credit cards. Nice to know, but No Buenos.

    Don't let the decor deceive you!

    This place is very unassuming looking but the food is great! My red curry was perfect -- a nice mix of protein and veggies with robust flavor and not too sweet. That's so rare these days. Our spring rolls were good too, and there are many vegetarian options. Service was friendly and efficient. I'm surprised this Mom and Pop restaurant isn't packed all the time. Terrific food for very reasonable prices!

    Nasty spongy Duck. That is as much as my fiance and i could manage to eat of this! (Shared after they failed on his pad thai)

We began with the Roasted Cashews, which were perfectly seasoned and addictive. For mains, the Red Curry was rich, complex, and comforting, but the star of the show was undoubtedly the Pineapple Fried Rice. Hands down, the best version we have ever had--perfectly balanced sweetness and savory depth. The drink pairings were spot on: I enjoyed a lovely glass of Pinot Noir that complemented the spice beautifully, while my partner had a crisp, cold Sapporo. Nong's is a true gem in Golden Valley for authentic, high-quality Thai food. The service makes you feel like family. Highly recommend!

The service is friendly. We were greeted shortly after entering. The restaurant was fairly busy, with many others dining in, and many takeout orders coming in as well, but we were seated right away! Several employees checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our food throughout our dining experience! They have many vegetarian and gluten free options. They also have some vegan options or items that can be made vegan upon request! We had the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer! The filling was very smooth and creamy and slightly sweet. We also had pad see yew with tofu and pad thai with mock duck. The servings are generous and each entree can easily last for 2 meals. They include a lot of the protein of choice, which I greatly appreciate. Some thai restaurants ask you for your desired level of spice, but we weren't asked here. They were mild (no spice) by default. The pad see ew had a savory, slightly sweet flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the Chinese broccoli had a nice little crunch. The pad thai had a good balance of sweet, salty, and savory. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice! The mango wasn't particularly ripe, but the coconut milk provided the perfect amount of sweetness. I enjoy Nong's Thai and would recommend it!

The Beef Rendang was a delightful mix of spice, herbs, coconut, and tamarind. The beef was tender and the broth was perfectly rich!

First, I really wish we had been provided ice for our water since it's served from their room temp tap water vase setup. Also, the menu is VERY hard to read and I had a lot of questions about the ingredients. I just don't feel like our server walked us through the dishes/options very well, which would've helped a ton for first timers! Also, I wanted to try the Massaman for yummy brisket, but sadly they were out of it and didn't let us know until we tried ordering this meal. I wish they were proactive about letting us know it's out. With that being said, the food itself was still very yummy overall! For apps, the Siin Swan (beef jerky) is a MUST! It was a huge portion for the price and honestly one of the best values on the menu. The Thai basil wings were also incredible and definitely worth ordering here (or at Gai Noi or Lat14 if you've never had them before), they're so flavorful and crispy! For the "shareable" dishes, we ordered the green curry octopus and scallop crudo. I'm normally terrified of octopus/tentacles, but this dish was actually super good! The potatoes, peas, and bacon alongside it were delicious. The only thing missing was the green curry sauce didn't have a ton of flavor, which could've been the wow factor that pushed the dish over the top. The scallop crudo was a beautiful presentation, but looked nothing like the photos on Khâluna'a website. It's served cold in a chilled coconut lime broth. I personally LOVE lime and enjoyed it, but everyone else at the table thought it was overpowering. Also, the portion size was shockingly tiny for a dish labeled "to share" and costing $30+. These definitely felt more apps (or even individual entrees) than table shareables. I wish they changed this! The Laksa entrée was SO yummy! The peanut/chili tasting curry broth poured tableside was such a fun touch, and I appreciated it being served separately. Perfectly cooked shrimp, tofu, and all the toppings made this dish one of my favorites of the night. The bucatini, which I believe is one of their signature dishes, was also excellent, but definitely not your classic Italian bucatini, so just know that prior to ordering! It had chili/onion crunch toppings and a very undercooked homemade noodle, but somehow still worked because it was lightly sauced yet packed with flavor. Super unique and delicious! For dessert, the pecan shortbread was amazing with a homemade chocolate mousse that was TO DIE FOR! Don't skip this! Overall, really good eats, beautiful atmosphere, and creative dishes, but definitely a bit hit-or-miss when it comes to portion size and value for the price. I'm curious how their brunch is next!

The flavors here are wildly different. I've been here before with friends and they've ordered the curry, but the curry looked too watery and that kind of should've told me that it wasn't going to be a hit of a Thai place for me. I like closer to a thicker sauce for coconut curry. Usually the Thai places that have more watery coconut curry sauces just hits a little lower & it def shows. Amazing Thai has this same issue lol. Now, this place too... I feel lost without a fav Thai place in Minne lol. The string beans were crunchy in the papaya salad which was great but the entire sauce tasted like MSG & lacks the Lao shrimp paste flavor although it was more grey since I did order the Lao style but not enough shrimp paste flavor as it should have. Either this place has different cooks etc., it is not the same as a year ago or more. I took a few bites of each plate and I wrapped it up to go, and I threw it in the garbage since my stomach was churning had to take some Tums lol. This place, Amazing Thai, & Sawatdee are the bottom 3 for me. Back to the drawing table. (I've never seen an Asian person eat here... I guess that says a lot?)
