Spying 1st of Thai in our search along I-35 we stopped in for dinner. Located in a small strip of stores, the interior is non pretentious, plenty of tables of different sizes. The window drapery has an Asian feel giving a minimal sense of exotic. Asian music softly plays over the speakers giving one a sense of culture. We ordered the Param Longsam #34a, and the Tom Kha #17. The dishes come with rice and were generous proportions. I will say the dishes were pretty good and recommend stopping by for something different.

Was in town for a conference and went out to dinner with friends. We chose this place because I…read morewanted to try the pho in the area. The Internet shows they close at 7:45 pm, but the store sign shows they close at 8:00 am. There is parking in the front and also in the back. The back parking looked like residential parking with the nearby homes, but the staff assured me it's their parking lot. My party of three got seated right away towards the window facing the front parking lot. We received laminated menus. The menu can be confusing because it doesn't show the full pricing for the pho options. I had to ask the waitress for clarification since there were pricing next to the meat options and pho options. I ordered the oxtail and rib beef pho which was a total of $26 plus taxes. The broth was flavorful, but cloudy with residue from the meat. The noodle was soft, but firm. The oxtail was soft and fall off the bone good. The rib was soft but tough. It was disappointing because I thought it would be soft and tender, like fall off the bone good. Also they forgot to include it in the pho soup and when I asked about it, they brought it out right away. Pho rating - I rate it 3/5. My friend order the cream cheese wonton. It was good, 3/5 good. Staff members were friendly. Just be aware that a staff member may tell you they will be closing soon. That happened to us this time. Overall the place was small, but sizable for a dinner outing with a small group of friends. I would go there again, but wouldn't go out of my way to order it.

My wife and I stopped at Bimi Thai and overall the food was really good. We tried several different…read moredishes, including the seafood Pad Thai, curry, fried rice with the crispy egg, spring rolls, and shrimp rolls. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The portions were nice, and the presentation looked great too. The only thing that bothered me was the customer service. Mary was our server, and I understand they were busy, so I definitely take that into consideration. But after our food came out, there really wasn't much of a check-in to see how everything was or if we needed anything else. Even when a restaurant is busy, a quick "How is everything?" or checking to see if we need refills goes a long way. The food was definitely the highlight of our visit, and we will visit again. Hopefully next time the service is a little more attentive because that would make the overall experience perfect all around.

The inside of this place looks nice, with large seating and a nice atmosphere. I would dine in on a…read morefuture day but this time we were just passing by so we grabbed takeout. Cream cheese wontons - ok If I had realized that the Beef Salad and the Seafood Salad were basically the same thing just different protein I would have just chosen one. That choice would be the Seafood Salad. I like the thin rice noodles and there was a good amount of seafood in it. Pad Lawn as my favorite from what we ordered. Yummy warm broccoli, with cabbage, and other veggies. We chose mock duck as our protein and it came with nice big chunks. The papaya salad was really good and I'd get that again. If you are ordering from their website, I'd recommend checking out the menu inside of the restaurant or looking at the menu photos on Yelp because I saw some things that I would have loved to try but they weren't on the online ordering menu so perhaps next time we will just eat there or order inside so we can check out the physical menu. Will be back again in the future for sure!!

We were in Rochester MN for 2 days. I looked at Yelp's Top Ten and noticed First Meeting Noodle…read more Right up our alley. Watching your noodles being pulled and boiled is a true treat. We ordered Sichuan Wontons in Chili Oil and Scallion Pancakes for a first course. The wonton noodle was the best I've ever been served. We had Green Beans and Curry Chicken Noodle for mains. We brought lunch ingredients to make sandwiches at our conference. Instead, we returned for more wontons and pancakes. Our companion was interested in calamari (spent ~45" too long in the fryer) and a bowl of chicken noodle soup that was too big to finish. I thought the broth was good, but I'm partial to a saltier ramen style broth. Shops with hand pulled noodles should offer small scissors. You could pull on a single noodle in your bowl like forever!

We had already eaten at the Kernel and Pizza Ranch, and everything that we viewed on Yelp had ratings of 1.8 or below. I found the First Meeting Noodle in Rochester, Minnesota, 38 minutes away, so yeah, road trip! When we arrived, we found hotels all around; the area looked newly built or well maintained, and parking was easy. We entered the restaurant, were quickly seated, and were given menus. I ordered soup, and my trustworthy technician ordered noodles with vegetables. We agreed that it was worth the drive, and we couldn't stop talking about the cook tossing massive noodles in the air. He was our hero for the evening, and he definitely had mad skills. The restaurant was well maintained, with clean restrooms, and they always had someone clearing and cleaning tables.

Yet I settled on chai tea, butter chicken and garlic naan. Perfectly cooked rice with chicken simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce flavored with butter, garlic, ginger, and warm spices. I asked for medium heat but it was very mild. Garlic naan was soft, fluffy flatbread traditionally brushed with butter and topped with fresh garlic and herbs. It was super good when dipped in the butter chicken sauce. This makes me crave lentil soup and lemon rice.

Although a native West Coaster, I know live on the Iron Range, and getting to eat a variety of good ethnic food (Thai being a favorite) is at least a good 2.5 to 3-hour drive for me now. Even with all of the options the Twin Cities area presents, I will ALWAYS opt for this place if I'm craving Thai. I love the consistency of the food being amazing, the comfortable ambience, the friendly staff, and of course, the free parking. Favorites? Tom Kha Coconut soup and Massamun Curry (chicken). The Spicy Noodles and Spicy Thai Basil Fried Rice are HUGE winners, too. Come hungry, because the portions are huge, and I am here for all of it! An interesting thing of note is that on all of my visits, I have never been asked for a spiciness preference level. Yet, the food always comes out delicious and at a perfectly spiced level. My young son, who does not like spicy food at all, has loved every dish (advertised as non-spicy) he has tried here. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially given the portion sizes. I honestly cannot sing enough praises about this restaurant, and I hope to always be able to visit when I'm in the area. Thank you for giving this West Coaster a taste of all of the good (ethnic) restaurants I'm missing!

Chicken pad see ew might be the second worst I've ever had (after Thai spice in Burnsville). The noodles were chewy and the sauce was awful. We ate the broccoli and left the rest of the dish. 1/5 Massaman curry was 2.5/5. Just ok not enough flavor. The dishes don't feel authentic at all, perhaps more Lao influence vs Thai. Miang Kham (Thai princess appetizer) had lemon instead of limes and was ever w peanut sauce vs the sweet traditional sauce that is used. The coconut was not toasted as stated on the menu u. Not authentic. 2.5/5 Spring rolls were fine but had an eggroll wrapper vs the crispy spring roll we were expecting. They were the best part of the meal though along with the filling sauce. 3/5. Servers were friendly and accommodating. Parking lot is small but was fine for us since there were hardly any customers in the restaurant.
