Drinks were too sweet but I added water and it was fine! Pork pineapple fried rice hit the spot. Smokey. The bites with onion was amazing. Stuffed chicken was really good. Sizeable and shareable. No need for the pineapple garnishment. Would have preferred a different sauce. Papaya lao style was so good. The fermented paste was strong. Loved the Jerky. Nam khao 10/10 crispy. Perfect. Balanced. Will return

We had to ask for our drinks a few time because of the lunch rush and they were very apologetic! We ordered Thai Iced Teas, Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Cream Cheese Wontons. My friend loved her Pad Thai. The Pineapple Fried Rice was okay. It didn't have a lot of pineapple in it but it was very good. I was skip the cream cheese wontons because the wonton wrappers were still doughy near the crease/fold and wasn't very flavorful. The Thai Iced Teas were really sweet so be forewarned to let your ice melt in it a bit to make it less so. Our bill came to about $70 for appetizer, two drinks, and two entrees. Not bad but not great. Overall 3/5 for food and overall service.

Found this quaint little Thai restaurant while rolling through Maplewood. Tucked away in a strip…read moremall, there's plenty of parking. Ambiance: Small, clean, no frills Thai restaurant that gets busy with takeout orders. There were tables and booths for seating. It took a few minutes to get seated, as the main server was sitting at the back table, eating. When she finished, she got me seated. The goods: I rate Thai restaurants on Kao Soi or Pad Thai. I chose Kao Soi with chicken and shrimp and the fresh spring rolls. Both were just okay. The food came out VERY QUICKLY, like 5-7 minutes. The spring rolls were filled with lettuce. Very little noodles or meat. There was tons of cilantro. The sauce was decent. The Kao Soi was not very flavorful. It was mostly coconut milk as the broth. Not much curry. The chicken was tender, the shrimp were over cooked and rubbery. I washed it down with a Pepsi. At $27 total, I think I prefer Lotus in the Loring neighborhood, better quality, more flavor and cheaper. Can't say I'd visit again. If so, I'd try the pad Thai.

We asked for tea when we arrived, we ended up having to ask again after the food was brought out. We had to ask for silverware, which was not provided at the table. The waitress didn't come check on us to see how the food was or refill beverages. The only time she came to the table was to take the order, deliver food and drop off the bill. As for the food, they have a broad menu with many options. I ordered the cashew chicken. Lots of veggies and some chicken, it was ok. Overall was disappointed by the service and food was just ok.

Located in a strip mall in Brooklyn Park, off of 610…read more My second time giving this place a try. Overall good experience both times. Service is friendly. They serve some Thai, some Vietnamese, and some Chinese. I prefer a place that can pick a lane rather than try to accommodate 2+ types of cuisines. The place has about 15 or so tables. Both times I came for lunch and they have a $13.95 lunch special with choice of white or fried rice and then fried wontons or egg roll. Overall, flavor profile is sweet. They also use a lot of fish sauce. I ordered the spicy chicken Thai stir fry and egg roll. Egg roll is crispy and a little on the thinner side. The stir fry was ok. My friend ordered the lunch special chicken curry which she said that she liked. This place was busy with office groups out for lunch and a few other diners. This place wouldn't be a top choice for lunch but it's decent.

This place was recommended by family and friends but it did not meet our expectation…read more Service: there was only one worker, a very young boy. He definitely did not want to work because he didn't look happy and never smile throughout the time we were there. He also did not greet us nor was he attentive. He even forgot our drinks, water and a can of soda. For visual, we were the only customers during our visit. Food: dishes were either too salty or bland. They were not flavorful and the portions were small. Inside: The restaurant had very poor ventilation. They had the AC on and blowing but the entire restaurant was full of fog from the kitchen cooking. It was so bad some of us had to step outside with our babies. The employee serving must had been oblivious to it because he didn't even seem to care. He continued to work like he wasn't walking through any fog.

Reasonable prices. Quick service. It did look like my food was sitting on a shelf when I picked up and not under a heated, so if you want fresh food I would show up 5-10 mins before their estimated time. Cute spot inside, plenty of parking.

WHOA MSG OVERLOAD!…read more This is typical Asian street food. Fast & full of MSG! The bread here is very authentic Vietnamese.. It is light and airy and crispy on the outside. I ordered Bo Ko. The carrots tasted like they were from frozen. It was a weird texture. It was not from fresh. Their beef was extremely tender however I assume from the MSG because it's normally not this tender anywhere else that I've ever had. The taste of the broth definitely tasted like it was from a soup base powder mix from premade not in-house. If you've ever had this dish at Quangs which is another fully loaded MSG Asian restaurant they make it better there of a thicker broth, more like a curry beef broth. The service is absolutely incredible. You will not find better service at any other restaurant in your entire life, however, I do not believe in fully loading foods with MSG. So it definitely breaks my heart to give a one star review just because I feel like everything was cooked with sauce packets powder packets not like authentic individual spices. They're charging almost $20 when you could buy the sauce packets that are five cents each at the Asian grocery store stores. So the taste is a rip off here. This place has a lot of potential because at other Asian restaurants, the service always always horrible. You will be particularly surprised the service here is absolutely terrific. The dipping sauce for their shrimp and pork spring rolls tasted more of a sauce that you would get in Thailand, not Vietnam. They serve Thai food at this place and we all know Thai restaurants have the worst service you'll ever have in your entire life. Since this is a Vietnamese restaurant, it's highly unlikely that their Thai dishes are authentic. So I will give them three stars, five stars for the service one star for the food. P.S. For this being a Vietnamese restaurant, I did not see any Vietnamese customers in there although there were other Asian customers in there I would say they were Korean Filipino Hmong. That says a lot about the Viet food. I would say this is a Thai-Viet sytle dishes. Not authentic Viet. My goto Vietnamese place are MT Noodles in Brooklyn Park they do not use MSG. My goto Thai is Coconut Thai in St Paul / Edina.

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.

With two locations that are both consistently amazing, I've never had a single subpar experience. The restaurants are clean, simple and have great service. One thing I really appreciate is how clearly they label gluten-free and vegetarian options. The menu is packed with choices for different dietary restrictions. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted and full of bold, authentic flavor. My go-to favorites are the pad thai, green curry, drunken noodles, Thai fried rice, yellow curry, and the spring rolls, they truly never miss. If you're new to Thai food, you can't go wrong starting with the pad thai and fried rice. If you like a little spice and depth of flavor, definitely add a curry to the mix. The portions are generous (perfect for sharing), and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. I can't recommend Coconut Thai enough!

I got the pad Thai chicken and it was just less sauce than I would like. I like it just a thicker sauce like how they do it in the Edina location. They have a parking lot at the back for about 5-6 parking spots. I would skip the calamari next time the breading is just way too thick. They charged me $3 extra for a side of fresh bean sprouts. I never had that happen to me at any Asian restaurant my entire life, but that's OK. It's highly unlikely I will come back to this location. I really like the Edina location 100 times better.
