This is my favorite neighborhood Thai place. The food is always delicious and the service always quick, whether eating in or getting takeout. The family who owns this place is so nice and they are always kind and friendly. They also just renovated the inside and it looks so good! I have lived within walking distance of here for years and I'm going to be so sad when I move away. The portion sizes are great for the price and they have lots of fun extras as well; I would recommend the Thai iced coffee. read more

My partner and I are visiting Minneapolis from Chicago and ordered delivery from this place based on the 4.5 yelp review rating. I ordered the veggie egg rolls and pad Thai with tofu. The spring rolls were good, perfectly cooked, the dipping sauce was delicious. The pad Thai unfortunately was very bland, and tasted like peanuts and noodles. The noodles were a little drier than I prefer, there was no evidence of eggs, and no flavor. My partner got the veggie lo mein, which he finished completely and said was pretty good. I thought it had a funny smell to it. He also ordered spring rolls which were huge. He ate one of the 2, and said they were ok. So between the two of us, his food was good and mine I only ate a few bites of the pad thai and won't be finishing it. I did eat the 3 egg rolls, but now I've gotta find an alternative dinner for the evening. So for that reason, I'm eating this place a 3. read more

Ahh one of my fav thai places in MN! I personally always get their pad-kee-mao and red curry! Their noodle dishes (pad see ww!) are the best in the twin cities i believe. They also have really nice pineapple fried rice. They also do delivery so I sometimes get delivery for lunch! The only downside is they do serve the hot curry in a plastic container when you are ordering to-go. just fyi, if you are conscious trying to reduce the microplastics consumption. read more

Great experience here. The food was fresh, flavorful, and nicely balanced without being overly spicy. Everything came out hot and well-prepared, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and quick to help, making the visit easy and comfortable. A solid spot for Thai food -- I'd happily come back. read more

Grabbed takeout for dinner. Food was great. The cream cheese wontons were not my favorite that I've ever had... but the pad Thai was great. I ordered on Uber Eats and it was ready by the time I got there. Customer service was good. Street parking was free and easy to find. I was able to park quick, pick up my food, and leave without having to walk far. Prices were also great! read more

Thai Cuisine Xpress - Chicken Pad Thai and Cream Cheese Wonton - Thai Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm vegan & gluten free so I get very excited when I can find pad thai that's safe for me to eat. Ordered takeout and clicked the gf and vegan options. Much to my disappointment, I picked up plain tofu and plain rice noodles. $5 worth of food I could make myself but paid $17 for. No sauce whatsoever. I understand vegan and gf is difficult, but do not offer it if you're not prepared to actually do it. Other places around the cities have no problem doing it. Shocked someone would think that this is what I intended to order and didn't call to check. read more

Food was lovely. I had Penut Curry pork. Served quickly and food was deliciously hot (temp) spicyness was appropriate for the dish.

No frills restaurant that's super reliable! The staff is super kind and the food is always good! Great portions for prices it's a great value. I grab takeout from here at least once a month. The food is ready WITHIN 15 MINUTES so it's super quick! It's my ultimate comfort food spot. The peanut curry with tofu or shrimp is so flavorful! I also love their Tom Kha it's some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend the Pad See Ew (if you're needing some comfort food). I don't recommend the fried rice, however I've only tried the veggie fried rice. It's just not amazing. read more

Being Southeast Asian I am a sucker for Thai food or pretty much anything with fish sauce lol I was a bit hesitant to try this place though because I'm a huge critic when it comes to Thai or Lao food. My party of 4 and I came here for dinner on a weeknight. We noticed right away that the dishes were a bit higher then other Thai places (papaya salad was almost $10, I know I could get papaya for $6 at most places) but no biggy. We ended up ordering the chicken wings, wontons and veggie egg rolls to start. Then carried on to lo mein, pad Thai, red curry and pad see ew. Everything was really just oily...too oily it reminded me of classic Americanized Chinese food. Our lo mein was soggy, the pad Thai wasn't sour or salty- really just sweet. The others were sad too. Honestly we only ate half of our dishes and didn't bother to take the leftovers home. Although our favorite was the spicy wings- they weren't spicy in my book but still delicious and the most flavorful dish we had there. I'm not too sure I would go back anytime soon. And of course parking sucks lol Street parking only. read more

Thai Cuisine Xpress - Cream cheese wontons and spring rolls - Thai Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Update: we came back and did try the Massaman curry hinted at in my original review and it was delicious, with a rich sauce and flavors to match. In addition, we had curried fried rice. The flavor was only so-so (I was hoping for a stronger curry flavor), but there were lots of vegetables and mock duck in it, moreso than most other places. A couple of downsides from our recent visit: 1) the server forgot our appetizer, but did apologize a lot for it. We got it after our main course and 2) they don't have tap water there... if you want water, you need to buy bottled water. I'm not sure why-- no glasses? No pitchers? We don't remember having this issue last time. That was a letdown, since we don't like bottled water or sugary drinks, usually. read more

We recently ate here again. The first time, it was very busy both with take out and dine in business (there are only 4 tables, but also only one server / take out person). We received much better service the first time. On our second visit, service was very slow. We were told it was because they were so busy, but it was considerably less busy than the first time we were there. Perhaps the first time there was more help in the back. I'm not sure. But I would have thought one person could handle one table and 2 take out orders in the hour we were there. (We were told it was very busy right when we got there, so we were expecting a lot of take out orders coming in, but they didn't.) Their food is quite good. If you live in the area, I would recommend getting take out. It isn't a very good place to dine in. As other reviewers have mentioned, you can't even get a glass of water! But, on the plus side, absolutely nothing was served in plastic, which is a huge pet peeve of mine for dining in. read more

My favorite place to go for Thai food. I love their red curry, pad see ew, and spring rolls!

I had a backyard happy hour on a Thursday and we were having too much fun... all of a sudden we realized we forgot to place our food order for dinner! All of our usual places were closed, but Thai Cuisine Xpress said we could make an exception and took our order for pick up at 7:55 pm on a Thursday. We got Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao - wow I'm so glad we missed our usual places and ordered here! It was delicious, and somehow still the perfect temperature even though it was take out. Thank you so much for feeding four very hungry women late on a Thursday!! read more

Probably the best pad see ew I've ever had. It wasn't a gigantic portion but the perfect amount that I avoided a food coma.

I love thé Soy Koi Noodle Dish it's my favorite! The cream wantons are the best I've ever had! Love this place!

This little restaurant on Como doesn't look impressive but their food was SO impressive! My son lives near here in a student apartment, and we will definitely be buying dinner here as frequently as possible. Yum! read more

First I must say the lady who served and worked in the front was sooooo sweet and adorable! She was too cute! Beef red curry was tasty (could've been less sweet and more spicy though). Hot tea was delicious where I didn't need any creamer, sugar, or honey. read more

Always love their food, I don't think I've ordered anything that I haven't enjoyed yet. Great place for your classic Pad Thai dish.

This was the first time we ordered take out from this restaurant. Great experience with calling in the order, the man understood what I wanted and gave me an approximate time my order would be ready. We ordered beef pad see ew, shrimp pad Thai, shrimp rolls, and pork egg roll. The beef pad see ew was loaded with vegetables and beef, I would have liked to see more noodles. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious and fresh tasting. The shrimp rolls were perfectly fried and came with a homemade sauce with a hint of mandarin orange in it, very delicious. The pork rolls were huge, three to an order and also came with a tangy homemade peanut/fish sauce dip, though it was delicious it was also very greasy. Overall, a wonderful food experience that we will reorder from. read more

Glad to discover this little spot not far from home! Not sure how I have missed it previously. Online ordering was smooth, and the order completed quickly. I can imagine the street parking is a pain during busy hours, but it was not a problem for me at the time or my order, just before dinner rush. I ordered a few favorites to sample and was pleased with all items. The Tom yum soup was very good. It leaned toward being sweet, but still had enough citrus. I just wimped out on asking for enough heat to complete the Thai flavor trio of sweet/tart/hot, so I will ask for more spice next time. Fresh spring rolls and veggie egg rolls were winners! Those classic appetizers are not always executed with care, but neither of these seemed like afterthoughts and the portions were fair. Chicken satay was good, though I do wish they included the cucumbers many places provide with this dish. Sauces for the appetizers were again a bit on the sweeter side, but were fine. I look forward to trying a few other things, but even if nothing else hits the spot for me, the apps and soup will be go-to items. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem in the wall located near U of M. It is a family run business and the restaurant is so cute. Parking can be a hassle since it's only street parking and the restaurant is located right at a corner intersection. On the other hand, food was delicious. Their fresh spring rolls were bomb dot com! I love the fresh mint. Most restaurants don't put mint in their spring rolls. The pad Thai was also delicious! And let me tell you, when I said I wanted heat at extra spicy, they really made it extra spicy! Lol. They do not play with their spice levels. Ask for extra spicy if you want that Asian heat! I'll definitely be back. Remember to support small businesses! read more

This is definitely a hidden gem if ya ask me. Veg egg rolls are the bomb and can't go wrong with the Pad Thai make sure to tell them if you want any spice read more

so, I ordered the won ton puffs. I was so disappointed because that's the biggest thing I like from most Asian food. I ordered the panko veggies which I ate 3/4 of them I was so hungry. The problem is in my opinion they should have been more tender. The most disgusting and disappointing thing is the veggies every time i or one in my mouth even though I dipped them in the VERY DELICIOUS plum sauce, I could smell fish. It was gross. I ate because I was hungry and to damned lazy to drive back or even call to complain which is usually what I do! I ordered the veggies eggshells and got absolutely no soy sauce and they sent pork Ugghhhhh. gross...i was so sad my food sucked. Plus the worst part. I paid TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS! WTF????? yes for 3 items I did tip $3.50 But even so. oh well... here i come Minneapolis GET READY FOR MY REVIEWS! I'M HONEST AND FAIR BUT CERTAINLY NOT ASHTRAYS ALWAYS NICE. ANYWAYS.... ILL NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THERE AGAIN. PLUS THE THAI PLACE CLOSER TO U OF M HAS 6 PUFFS FOR LESS! I WILL TRY THEM NEXT! read more

Order curbside pickup and it was ready 10 minutes later! The food is authentic and tastes wonderful. Can't wait to go back!

Their food is always so quick to be prepared and delicious! I've stopped by so often for their Pad Thai and Veggie Egg Rolls! The order is almost always ready in 7-10 minutes for pick up! Best food and so authentic-- their egg rolls taste just like my mom's, and I've never been able to find anywhere that makes their egg rolls so flavorful with the crispy wrapper! The family/families who own this place do a wonderful job and are so nice! Thank you for the best food!!! read more

My roommates and I love love love this place. The women there and so friendly and welcoming. And the food..... so good. A good spot for vegetarians. Also the best Asian food in the area. I recommend the fried rice with tofu or the pad Thai! Reasonably priced, and the food usually lasts me two meals. The cream cheese wontons are the bomb too. Definitely going to miss the heck out of this place when I move away. read more

Mediocre pad thai. Not much flavor and not many thai food options on the menu. I would come back but it is not my first choice. They were very kind and stayed open for us as we ordered right before closing time so 4 starts for their service. read more

My favorite Thai food from the owners of Chili Thai in Lino Lakes as well as Lisu's in Roseville. Amazing flavorful Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, Pad See Yew, Pad Thai, Pineapple or Curry Fried Rice, Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls (SO FRESH!!!) with the simple dipping sauce. Fresh homemade authentic Thai food from the best owners in the cities! Service can be slow and their other restaurants are closed Sundays. Can't get enough of their fabulous foods! read more

Absolutely delicious food. Our favorite take-out restaurant by far. The staff is amazing, and when we used to come here before COVID-19, their young daughter would always want to fill our waters for us. We had the best service! Went in for pickup this time. Ordering over the phone is extremely fast and easy, and they are quick to put together an order. Good prices for the quality of the food. My favorite thing to order is the Beef Lo Mein. Comes with lots of veggies. We also get the egg rolls, which are very large and crispy! read more

I've only eaten here once, and had high hopes. I ordered fresh spring rolls, pork egg rolls, and Tom Yum shrimp soup. Everything was one note in flavor - sweet. Even though I do like the sweet/savory depth of flavor in Thai food, it was sorely lacking in everything I ordered. The fish sauce which went with the egg rolls was like sugar water and I was unable to finish the Tom Yum because of the overwhelmingly cloying sweetness. I may give the place a shot again, but there are other restaurants I prefer, even if I have to drive further. read more

Absolutely awesome food and the people were helpful and friendly. Very small if you plan to eat there but extremely clean. A great find for Thai food. read more

I ordered veggie fried rice, beef lo mein and the pork egg rolls, and everything was so good. I'm super picky about ordering any type of beef with Asian food, but their website has pictures of their food and the beef looked actually decent, and I'm very glad I gave it a try because it was really good! Especially loved the egg rolls! read more

This place is so good. It's fresh and piping hot. I am yet to try something I don't like. The wontons, egg rolls, and spring rolls are great. The Thai basil fried rice is so good. The veggie lo mien is a go-to for me. The servings are large. I can get 3 meals out of one entree. Value and quality. read more

This is the spice this area has been missing. It's as good or better than driving to mpls or St. Paul for Thai. I had the veggie green curry, it had lots of flavor and spice- super yummy! The whole family loved the pineapple fried rice. I don't eat meat, but the kids gave the chicken satay "100 thumbs up". My husband got the pad Thai, it was really classic style and tasty, the only thing is he prefers it spicy. We didn't request any spice level, just wanted to see how it came the first time. We'll order again soon for sure to try some other dishes Update-went back and 5 stars hold. Their curries are no joke. This time tried the red curry and peanut curry. Balance of flavors were perfect-if you like spice. The veggies are cut big and cooked perfectly. The egg drop soup is the most flavorful I've had. This is a new favorite spot read more

Very good. Food was fast and delicious. Got the red curry and Pad see ew. (Spelling?). Fantastic. Will go again.
