Surprisingly we were the only patrons during dinner on a Saturday, however, plenty of people came in for their take always. The cream cheese rolls were delicious! Came out hot, crispy, and creamy. However, the dishes to follow were too salty and bland. Maybe we're spoiled given our recent trip from Thailand. Then seeing previous reviews made it clear it's hit or miss here.

Fresh Spring Rolls

As you can see my spring rolls only have 2 pieces of shrimp and are entirely filled with lettuce . I picked this option over another dish for protein and I think it's actually ridiculous that I paid for this. It's not mindful of yal that people already make minimum wage so for my order including tip to be 35$ for 2 things and a drink just to be pure lettuce is very disappointing. The pad Thai was good however there's also microscopic pieces of chicken. It's not worth the price to be honest they're so stingy with the protein ! Not cool. Wish I didn't tip.

Excellent food and service. I stumbled upon Thai Pepper by accident when I was in the neighborhood. Even though it is a distance from my home I will gladly ride the bus to dine here again. After looking at several menu options I settled on the Pad Thai with Chicken. A standard Thai dish I thought to use this as my baseline for future visits. The portion was substantial and I knew I would be taking some home for more meals. I squeezed the lime which gave the dish an additional citrus kick. Next time I will also ask for Siracha or chili oil to add to the dish. The overall flavor was good, the noodles were excellent, the chicken just right; I really enjoyed the dish. I was the only person in the restaurant, but several people came in for take-out orders. The music was at a good level. Not too loud or soft, but just right. On my next visit I will order the TomYum Soup. It's a hot and sour soup which is something I enjoy. I will definitely be visiting again.

Stir fry with tomatoes, cucumber, onion and I chose shrimp. My friend ha stir fry too, with chicken.

Very nice place for food, ambience and conversation. Had lunch here and was pleasantly surprised at their menu. You can pick your heat, I had medium (perfect) and my friend had mild (perfect). You order stir fry etc. and then the type of meat. ALL GOOD. Good parking in a busy area. If you are looking for good Thai food, this is the place for you.

Rubbery beef with water in it.... No flavor.... Not simmered in curry sauce.

Wow.... Just had the worst Thai takeout from Thai Pepper.... No wonder it's empty. I ordered takeout before and it was ok but not any more.... Pad Thai thrown together with giant egg chunks. Rama Curry with Beef that was disgusting.... Nothing was simmered in the curry sauce. The beef was tasteless with no sauce, vegetables barely cooked and cold, again not simmered in sauce. They put the ingredients in a bowl and put thick, cold curry sauce on it.

Thai pepper is an awesome spot tucked into a bit of a corner on Robert Street. The food was outstanding, I got the beef Pad Thai, medium spice level, and it was perfectly prepared. The spice level was good, not insanely hot, but definitely present and added some nice flavor. The veggies seemed crunchy and fresh, and the beef was nicely seasoned. The lime on the side finished it off with a perfect tangy kick. The online order system was super easy, and I was able to pick it up my order through their drive thru, which was also super smooth and easy. The pricing was very fair, and the portions were large, which I loved. The best part of all - they gave me a free tea with my order, which I believe was berry flavor. It had a lychee berry on the bottom which was a fun little touch. Definitely check out Thai Pepper if you're in West St. Paul!

Sitting on their little patio (there's only a couple spots to park in back if you choose this unless you walk here).

Nong's Thai Cuisine consistently delivers incredible flavors and warm service. We stopped in for…read moredinner and were absolutely delighted from start to finish. 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!

Nong's is located in kind of a strip mall area, so they share a lot with several other businesses…read more The lot can get busy at times, but I've never had trouble finding a parking spot. 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! 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!

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. It has such a warm, stylish atmosphere that feels both upscale and welcoming at the same time. 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.

I've never ordered this before but it now has become my new obsession. I've thought about this meal several times since I ordered it. I got the 606 Pra Ram Long Song (Rama Dish) the veggies were crisp and the chicken was tender. The sauce was a very mild spice level and so flavorful. I highly recommend this place.

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?)
