In Short – The burgundy decor, exposed brick walls and casual atmosphere make for a restful dining experience--until you have to choose from the 60 authentic Thai dishes. The restaurant's specialties include gang khiao wan, a sweet green curry dish with green beans, eggplant, bamboo, sweet basil and lime leaves. Other favorites are Thai pasta, made of rice noodles and steamed vegetables, and drunken pasta, noodles in a wine and basil sauce.

Unpleasant!

by Ratioz at Citysearch

My wife and I were out on Grand looking for a new place to eat and we remembered this place looked nice from the street. We were sadly disappointed. The table we sat at was sticky with food bits on many places. The "vaunted" spring rolls were unfresh and unsavory. Of the two dishes we ordered the pad thai was ok and the seafood pasta was tasty and ample (could have shared this dish). Just wish the place was cleaner!

Gross!

by mzstpaulfoodie at Citysearch

This is not Thai at its best...Yuck! Overcooked rice tasted like someone tried to make fried rice for the first time, turned out being an epic fail!!! Spring rolls were not fresh! Just don't eat there, there are so many good Asian and Thai restaurants in St. Paul. Choose another, trust me it won't be worst than this place! There is no reason any Asian restaurant should serve overcooked rice. 20 dollars for Thai rice and spring rolls I had to just throw away. Whoever gives that place 5 stars, I encourage you to visit another Thai joint you'll be enlightened.

Disgusting!

by Happyspirit at Citysearch

I am a teacher in St. Paul and decided to take my son out for a nice meal. After taking a few bites of his soup, he pulled something horrific out of his mouth. When I told the waiter, he apologized and said we would not have to pay for that soup. When he came back, he told me the manager said it was a normal muscle, which both the waiter, my son and myself knew that it wasn't. The muscle had abnormal growths attached to it. After talking with the manager, she said that she can't check to see if all the muscles are good and just has to trust that they are. I asked for a refund and she refused. She was extremely rude.

  • Pros: Wait staff was nice but did not come frequently
  • Cons: Food

Can't get enough

The food is fresh and delicious with really good vegetarian options. The staff is friendly and the restaurant has a cool atmosphere.For a quiet night out go during the week, it's worth the trip

I can't wait to go back!

by MXK at Citysearch

I wasn't sure what to expect but this place surprised me by far.. The decor is beautiful and very comfortable yet classy and elegant. Many options on the menu and prices were reasonable. I had the Chicken Pad Thai noodles, and the Green Curry. I have to admit that for the restaurant being called Pad Thai I was expecting more from the noodles but it was not to my liking... The noodles were dry and stuck to each other in one clump.. However, the curry was amazing!! I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it..

Aside from the Pad Thai noodles, I will be coming back for more of that curry. Service was great also!

  • Pros: Many options, real authentic Thai food at great prices
  • Cons: "Pad Thai" noodles could've been better
