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

I always find my saucy noodle/rice deliveries have greasy dishes or spilled/sticky sauces but everything was packaged extremely well. The Pad Thai has fantastic flavor, the veggies are crisp and fresh, and the peanuts add the perfect little crunch. Add a twist of lime and you're in business for the next three days of lunch or dinner. The cream cheese wontons were mediocre, I wish there was more wrapper to kinda soak up some of that cream cheese but it has a good flavor and I love the dipping sauce. The eggroll wasn't my favorite but I'm not huge on eggrolls to begin with but they look really good and they're perfectly crispy. Now, the Vietnamese coffee cannot be slept on. Order it every single time, just trust me. Creamy, bold flavor but it doesn't feel like you're drinking a cup of creamer. I'd go back for the coffee and Pad Thai once a week if I could.

Each dish was super flavorful and had a good amount of kick but not too much for the midwestern palate IMO. The Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes were INCREDIBLE and I loved the beef rendang and fish sauce caramel pork were delicious too. Don't skip on the bread pudding for dessert. The only slight miss for me were the spring rolls but just due to personal preference. Highly recommend!

The interior is going for pacific coastal vibes with fun colors, bountiful foliage and tiki decor. We started with the English Pea Wontons which provides a few bites of wontons soaked in the delicious Tom Kha coconut broth. Next, the Fried Brussel Sprouts with the sweet and savory dressing and pork belly is a new personal favorite take on the popular side dish. The Beef Rendang was a delightful mix of spice, herbs, coconut, and tamarind. The beef was tender and the broth was perfectly rich! The toasted coconut milkjam ice cream was an odd, crumbling, dry texture that was not enjoyable. Might be the worst dairy free ice cream I've had unfortunately. The service was very attentive, friendly and helpful and I'm excited to return!

It's a stir-fried udon dish with vegetables and beef, and it was very flavorful. The portion size was reasonable for the price. I did look over the menu's meat options and didn't see duck listed, which surprised me given the restaurant's name. One downside is that the restaurant is quite small and can probably seat only about 10 people. That said, I appreciated how conveniently located it is near the Metro Blue Line train station, which made it easy for me to head to my next destination.

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!

The only slight let down was on the rice dishes, as they would've tasted better with sticky rice or sushi rice! Still really tasty place!

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.

There is free street parking surrounding this place! There is also valet if you want a more elevated experience. The decor in this place is so warm and welcoming. It feels like you have been transported out of Minneapolis and somewhere in California! Our server and the hostess were both friendly and did a wonderful job! When we arrived we were given a nonalcoholic shot, which was very tasty! This place is pretty strict one sending in your whole order at once, so appetizer and entree go in at the same time. They can stagger how they bring out the dishes though! The food was incredible! We started with the basil wings! Those are a MUST! The wing is so juicy and has great flavor! As entrees, we had the New York strip laab. This is a chilled steak dish. Our steak was more "luke warm" but the flavor was explosive! The steak was also done to a perfect medium the whole way through! The salad was bright and paired so well! This was our favorite dish! The green curry octopus was tender and the green curry tasted so fresh! The peas in this dish felt overpowering and we did not care for them. The scallop crudo was light, melt in your mouth! The coconut milk and citrus paired so well in this dish! Unique! My only complaint was that it was not as pretty as it was on the webpage. For dessert we got some cocktails! Their version of an espresso martini was pretty good but I have had better. The gold coffee bean was a nice touch! The show stopper was the orange blossom pistachio cake! Oh my gosh!!! Each bite just got better!! I will be dreaming of this dessert!! So delicious!! This place is worth the hype and I will definitely be back!!

It definitely leans more on the $$$ side, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it for a special night out. The vibe of the restaurant is one of my favorite parts though.

The lighting is cozy, the decor is beautiful without feeling overdone, and the whole space has a trendy but relaxed energy that makes you want to stay awhile. It's perfect for date nights, catching up with friends, or celebrating something special without feeling overly formal. The staff has always been friendly and attentive too, which really adds to the overall experience.

We ordered several items and it is important to note that the food comes out as it is ready, which means food may not come out as you would normally expect. For example my main dish came out first, about ten minutes later my partner's food came out, then the appetizer arrived. This was not a problem for us, but others may be annoyed. We ordered #5 Banh Khot as an appetizer. This came out last, after the rest of our food. I would probably not order it again as it was a bit greasy and did not have as strong of a flavor as I would like. Very edible, just not what I had hoped. For my meal I ordered #15 Com Tam Heo Nuong, Bi, Cha and a lychee lemonade. The lychee lemonade was very good and had a lychee in the bottom of the glass. There is a sort of egg bake thing that came with the meal that was good, but not my favorite. The main meat and rest of the dish was so good, very flavourful. There was also a paler meat which was also good, kind of sour, but not my favorite part of the meal. It was a lot of food. I took home leftovers and ate an additional three meals. My partner had #20 Pho Dav Biet. This was amazing and very flavourful with lots of meat. If you don't like cilantro you should order it without as there is definitely some cilantro in the dish. Will definitely order this again. He also had a Thai Tea which he said was very good. The service was fast and very friendly. Our server was very informative and willing to help us decide what to have. Ambiance is light and pleasant. The restaurant is clean, but worn. We saw a lot of takeout orders go through while we were there and a steady stream of people coming to eat in. Several tables were full when we arrived, by the time we left it was nearly full. They have a fish sauce that appears to be house made(?). It is fantastic! The server said I should put a couple tablespoons on my dish, but it was so good we put it on everything! The restaurant is in a mini mall, so there was plenty of parking. I would say the parking lot is not very handicapped friendly as there was no ramp in front of the restaurant, nor close enough for me to notice. The restaurant itself is pretty handicapped friendly. All in all a very pleasant experience. We will be back.

Order: Mini egg rolls with pork and shrimp. Delicious fried perfection. Great way to start the meal. Crunchy savory egg roll with the sweet, salty funky dipping sauce. Pho with well done brisket. I don't like the lean beef versions because the meat can leave some impurity in your broth as it cooks. The brisket is tender and flavorful. The regular size is a good enough portion to get you full. Broth is perfect. Such a satisfying bite.
