    pad thai
    Matthew H.

    I must say we enjoyed our meal. I was a little skeptical at first because we always went to Family Thai, but it was closed and this was a nice substitute. I definitely like the different approach to the pad Thai I really like the orange sauce. The fish was excellent and the papaya salad was a bit sweet. We did not prefer it on the sweet side so they said next time just ask for half the sweetness overall very friendly service and we will return!

    Jumbo Eggrolls (Chicken)
    Eddy H.

    Found this place driving around Maplewood and wanted asian food. Its in a strip mall but looks clean and has great service! The food was pretty good as well. I ordered: Cream Cheese Wontons - 10/10 (One word.....AMAZING!) Shrimp and Chicken Spring Rolls - 9.5/10 (Huge & flavorful) Chicken Jumbo Eggrolls - 9.2/10 (2nd Best eggrolls Ive had) Tom Yum Soup - 8/10 (Good flavor and perfect spice level) Honey Walnut Shrimp - 8/10 (Flavor is amazing with thick batter! Ratio of batter to shrimp is too much though! Chicken Lo Mein - 8.8/10 Pampa Fried Fish - 9/10 (You get a huge side of veggies and noodles, which I didnt eat because I was so full so I only ate the fish itself! It was delicious)

    Good and fast service. I got the pork belly larb mild and sticky rice. Sticky rice was perfect. The pork belly was a bit dry.

    This was our first time and we were excited to try this restaurant! The atmosphere had a positive vibe and the decor felt like you had stepped into a forest filled with wildlife and elephants! Super cute! We had ordered the egg rolls for appetizers. It was crispy and quite delicious. The fish sauce dip was just perfect! We had the chicken fried rice and it was very flavorful. I love the wok smell of a good fried rice dish - yum! We tried the papaya salad (Lao style) and it had a strong spicy kick for a medium spice level! The combination flavors of sweet, tangy and spicy was perfect. We tried the chicken pad Thai. The fish sauce flavor was a little too pungent for my liking, but it was alright. It was not the typical pad Thai I am used to, but it was good. The last entree we tried was the beef laab with sticky rice. Wow! Be careful when you ask for a medium spice level - it was extremely spicy! The flavor was absolutely amazing and so delicious! We couldn't handle the spiciness and asked if we could have another one made less spicy. They were very accommodating (and quick) and was able to make us another one. What excellent customer service!! We were very grateful. The service was friendly and our food was brought out very quickly despite the place being quite busy. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant and would be back! Quick Tips: - this isn't your typical Thai restaurant and the flavor may be a bit unique and different. - spicy level is much spicier than you think! Take caution!

    They mostly have booths and a three of tables set up for larger parties for seating but everything felt spaced nicely. I enjoyed my food flavors and they were Thai spice levels so the medium was spicy. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive without being too interrupting of our meal. One sister did have to ask for another set of chopsticks because the set she was given was really uneven but other than that I'd eat here again. Food came out pretty quickly for how busy they got. They have ample parking being at the end of the shopping strip.

    Susan N.

    Really adorably decorated restaurant--my favorite part was the ceiling. The service was friendly and several different servers came to check on us. The food was fresh, hot and pretty tasty. The spice level was great for spice lovers. I had the steak laab, which was tender, nicely sour, savory and spicy.

    1715 Beam Avenue USED to home Bambu Asian Cuisine...now it is Elephant Thai Cuisine. The menu and decor has changed, but good Asian dishes remain. Good service from Lala, especially since we didn't know our way around their menu. The Thai Boat Noodles were delicious in their broth (it was worth it just to try it!).

    Came here with my family (we love Thai food). Their food did not disappoint. Everything that we ate…read moretasted really good. Lots of authentic flavor and good portions. The servers were really nice & prompt. The restaurant was clean & decorated well. It's not a very large place but I like it that way, more cozy. We will definitely come back soon.

    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.

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 totally get this is the same Coconut Thai as an Edina, but I would have to say the Edina…read morelocation. The flavor is much more robust. 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.

    Service was good and friendly…read more Food came out so hot and fresh. Forgot to take a photo of the nam khao. Food runs slightly sweet but soooooo good and authentic. 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.
