pho.... We were excited about having a restaurant nearby with pho. We were disappointed because it didn't taste anything like pho. It tasted very oily. The beef was fine, but the soup wasn't edible.
Misled by the 5-star ratings.
After reading the positive reviews I had high hopes for Reuan Thai. After trying the restaurant for myself I'm starting to doubt that everything said on the internet is true.
I can't recommend dining in because the service was lacking, the dining room is noticeably drafty and the table was dirty and sticky. Our server was young and possibly inexperienced–not her fault–but over the course of my meal hot tea was politely requested and verbally confirmed three separate times. The tea never did arrive. The entire front-of-house staff seemed young for a Saturday night.
I cannot recommend the take-out approach either as the food was average Thai at best. My Pad Thai was out of balance with overwhelming sweetness and a shrimp curry dish was shoulder-shruggingly ordinary.
In my opinion Reuan Thai was about what I would expect based solely on curb appeal, but fell disappointingly short of the gem online reviews portray it to be.…
Some of the best Thai in the Twin Cities. We first learned about Reuan Thai through Citysearch but have never provided a review. If you want the freshest, most authentic Thai food in town and don't want to pay a lot, this is the place to come. The restaurant isn't the prettiest place on earth but the nearest place to get more authentic Thai food at this price is a street-corner restaurant in Thailand!…
Best Spring Rolls in the Twin Cities!!. It is the simply the best Thai in town with out a doubt. If you like Sawadtee, A Taste of Thailand or comparable restaurants, you will love this place. My mother in law told me how great this place was, and I was skeptical at first. When I went there I was very pleased. The spring rolls are amazing.…
Osseo's best kept secret Thai food spot. The chicken pad thai is a savory, fragrant blend that beckons from the sidewalk. The eggrolls are crisp and flavorful. The duck/fish sauce accompanying eggrolls is suprisingly sweet with a tangy after pop. Excellent food for incredibly low price. Reuan Thai is a surprising find in downtown Osseo. Once you find it you will be back again and again. The ambiance is rather cave-like and dimly lit but it adds to the experience.…
