First time trying food here. Ordered chicken egg rolls, chicken pad Thai (ss&s), yum nuah salad and…read morecombo fried rice. Salad juices spilled out the Togo box. There was a 1/4 wedge of cabbage. Wasn't expecting that. Not the salad I was expecting. Fried rice was ok. Ordered combination, only had two pieces of shrimp and barely any beef. Lots of chicken. Pad Thai was good but I've had better. Eggrolls were alright too. Have better. Portion sizes are skimpy for the price. For what I paid, I would have gotten the Togo boxes either filled up or bigger boxes in San Diego. Food arrived in the time frame I was given.

On this date I got the pad Thai, my sister got the red curry, and we split the cream cheese puffs to go. Service is always timely and spot on with pick up times. Everything we ordered was lovely and there were plenty of options for more or less spice. Prices are really reasonable for amount of food you get also.

The spring rolls were amazing! The portion size for the soup was huge I've never had such a big bowl of soup before. You could easily share one soup between two people, maybe even three! If you're deciding between spice levels I'd get the lower level because it was spicer than we expected! I got the Gai Tom Kha soup and it was very flavorful and lemony, I loved the mushrooms in it. We can't wait to go back!!

I asked the checkout lady at TJ Max in cottage Grove if she had ever tried Lisu's Thai? She said…read moreher family orders take out often so I decided to have lunch there. Unfortunately the pork egg rolls were not cooked enough. The whole wrap was soggy and mushy, and the filling wasn't really hot. I didn't eat them. I ordered the vegetable fried rice because the gentleman taking my order recommended that over the basil fried rice because I didn't want any meat. He said I would get more vegetables. I had big long stringy pieces of basil within the rice, but there were very little vegetables. The vegetables they add were pre-cut frozen carrots and broccoli. I asked for a level three spice. It did have a nice kick to it. The dining area was clean and the service was very friendly.

Stopped into this no frills Thai spot while getting an oil change nearby. There's limited seating…read morewith counter service for ordering. No real menu, just pics on the wall and a printed piece of paper, tri-folded. They offer lunch pricing for certain things before 2pm but you must ask for the lunch price. I saw two people order pad Thai, both got the same sized serving but one was the lunch price of $11, the other was $16. I had the basil chicken and added veggies. Level 3 on the spice. It was fine, nothing spectacular. With the addition of the veggies and a sprite, I spent $16. There was very little chicken in the dish (see pic), not worth the price. The lunch special isn't served with anything extra (egg roll, soup, etc), just rice. All in all, I'd go back if I'm in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip.

Was greeted with smiling faces right when we walked in! We had Elizabeth as our server and she was genuinely nice, and took her time to make sure we had the best experience ever. She ALWAYS checked back in on us to see if we needed anything, to refill waters if needed. She always had a bright smile on her face, and treated all customers with respect. She engaged to have conversations with you, asked how your day was going! The food was, nice and hot when it came out and exactly what we asked for! The food tasted AMAZING. We have 4 kids and most of them are picky but leaving this restaurant they ate things that they loved and said they we would eat again! Elmade sure my kids were happy and got the food they wanted. If you guys are looking for a place to eat when in Fairbault I would head over to 1st of Thai and eat there. The overall of the place was super clean, felt nice and warm walking in there! Nice a spacious, where you don't feel all crammed and close to others. The light in there was perfect, not too dark and not too bright. The temperature was perfect!

Our friends chose the "drunken noodles" entree and pineapple fried rice. They loved their dishes too. The family that owns this restaurant and works here as chefs & servers deserve our business!

Last night I ordered the lemongrass chicken (SO juicy and flavorful), the farang spritz (refreshing!) and the cauliflower yum pops.

The estate is enveloped by the most magnificent, lush greenery and beautiful flowers; the visual presentation of both the exterior and interior is nothing short of stunning. It feels less like a traditional restaurant and more like a peaceful, hidden sanctuary. One has the lovely option of dining either indoors or al fresco. I chose to step inside, and the ambiance completely captivated me. The decor is masterfully curated, transporting one entirely out of Rochester and into a serene, elegant Thai forest. The hospitality was equally impressive. While I was speaking with our attentive waiter, the charming owner personally came over to greet me and introduced Annie, which was a thoroughly delightful touch. The level of care and personalized service here is genuinely top-tier. To drink, I enjoyed a beautifully crafted Mock-Gari-Thai. Upon the owner's superb recommendation, I paired it with the Tom Yum Noodle Soup. The pairing was magnificent the flavors were complex, vibrant, and executed with absolute precision. It is clear they take extraordinary care with every single detail of the dining experience. I am completely enamored with this establishment and shall most certainly be returning. Full marks
