One of the best in the twin cities

by JIMB1969

I have recently discouvered this place and since doing so its changed the name 3 times, but the people and food inside remain identical (and thank goodness). You would not expect to find great thai food in the Midwest and up until recently the only place that warranted four stars was The King & I, however, over the last few years something interesting has developed, smaller thai places with very authentic (and very unauthentic but fabulous) food have sprung up. Ketsana's Thai is amoung the best. Interestingly enough, although I'm not an expert, I'd wager that the menu is sort of a fusion between thai and vietnamese. My favourite menu item is the Rama Thai Curry, which combines the well known peanut sauce with coconut curry. This is not really a traditional thai dish, but given how great it tastes, it should be! I generally order this with Vegetables and not meat which is amazingly satisfying for someone who's admittedly not a vegetarian. I am also a big fan of Panang Curry, although, sadly Ketsana's panang gai is underwhelming.

Over all, I am very glad this place exists and hope it does well.

• Pros: Unique dishes, Thai Rama Currry!!
• Cons: missing some of the most popular thai dishes and some like the Panang curry are just average

Where did Ketsanas go

by MsB2u

Ok! I know its no longer there....but I was really bummed that they closed down. The service did S*CK, no doubt about that, unfriendly with no smiles. However, the food was fabulous. I have dined there with friends for years at least once or twice a month. Best Thai I have had. It was a shack of a building, really horrible but who cared when the food was really good

• Cons: service, ambience and parking

I wouldn't be going back to Ketsana's

Food, service and ambience terrible. I ordered the spicy Thai noodles without bean sprouts and I was served a plate of noodles with not much else in it. It was also very greasy. Was not worth the $12 they charged. Upon leaving, I paid the waitress up at the counter with my CC and left her 0 for tips since I?d left cash on the table. She assumed I was leaving her nothing and she snatched the receipt from me and gave me a dirty look.

I wouldn?t be going back.
