    I had a fantastic experience here. I have my favorite Thai spot and am often reluctant to try new ones because I'm disappointed. Not this time! I went here with a couple friends and we shared the spicy edamame as well as the pot stickers, both of which were tasty. Then I had the duck red curry which was absolutely fantastic. The duck was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the curry was phenomenal. Our waiter was friendly and helpful and the restaurant itself is very cute inside. I cannot wait to come back here for another meal!

    Go to Flamin Thai ASAP :) My friend and I went for dinner and WOW it was soooo good. Every dish was stunning and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient during a very busy night. Be prepared to leave with a full belly of flavorful food. I will definitely be back for the curry and drunken noodles!

    Stopped in for dinner. Friendly server helped us out with the menu. I decided on the beef pad see ew. Came out hot and ready. Noodles were wide and chewy. Chinese broccoli was plentiful with big pieces. Sauce was light

    I seriously think about this Thai basil fried rice, so often! Hands-down, one of the best Thai food restaurants that we have in Minneapolis. Their food selection is top-notch and their quality is even better. We had sushi, and some traditional Thai dishes. I would say the curry and the Thai basil fried rice was by far my favorite. Just a heads up, we went on a Friday around dinner time and it was super busy. So plan ahead as their space is small for sit down. I have gotten their food to go before and it is a great option as well. Their service was super quick for how busy they were and I was very impressed.

    Thai food is my favorite and some friends told me to try this spot. Went here for date night, didnt make reservations cause it was last minute but we still got in. First I want to say this whole area is terrible for parking and there is a lot to park in right next door but it's about $10 for an hour. We walked in and weren't really greeted for maybe 5 minutes. I'm not sure if they were understaffed but it wasnt crazy busy. Sat down and the bartender was the waitress. She was super friendly and excited to have us. Really explained a lot of the menu and had suggestions. We ordered some food and drinks. My drink was pretty good. I enjoyed the wings, good sauce and crispy. Kapoon was really good, my date had never had it before and she liked it. I didnt really like the rice cause it lacked flavor for me. The sushi was pretty good also. At times it just felt like the service was slow. Also when getting everything to go, I guess I would have assumed they would box it up for me with their prices and also the fact that I'm trying to box up a soup. Not a terrible experience, just not one of my favorites. Other things on the menu sparked my interest but not sure if its enough for me to go back.

    Rainbow medley with shrimp
    Zain K.

    As my first photos shows, this is a pleasant, modern space. That, along with the extensive menu and friendly service, promised much, but my meal was ultimately quite disappointing. I got the mixed veg stir-fry (Rainbow Medley) with shrimp. It was nicely plated, but two issues I had with it are evident from my photo: first, it was rather oily. And second, the veg mix was off, with way too many green peppers and onions (it's natural to suspect a cost motive here). What's less clear from the photo was that the vegetables were all overcooked, with the broccoli and mushrooms having been reduced to mush. Others seem to have had better experiences here, so I would be curious to try something different.

    Red Curry with chicken
    Laura S.

    We went at 6 pm on a Wednesday. We were sat right away and there were plenty of open tables. Food 4/5. The spring rolls were fresh and were well balanced by the sauce included. I got the red curry which had amazing flavor. I got medium spice and felt this balanced the dish perfectly. My only complaint was the bamboo. It was cut in long pieces almost like noodles, and was very challenging to eat with the included spoon. Service 4/5: we were sat right away and our order was put in quickly. Our spring rolls and main entrees also came in a timely fashion. We did wait awhile for someone to check back in on us to get our checks and to go boxes. Ambiance 5/5: they have a cute selfie wall in the back. Overall the restaurant was clean and tidy. We had sufficient space at our tables and loved the view from the window. If you're in the neighborhood and are looking for Thai food, this is definitely a must try!!

    We visited Saturday evening, we utilized paid street parking and we were seated right away. The restaurant wasn't busy. Khloe was a good server, checking in with us and giving us updates on our food while we waited. We started off with the baked mussels, they were so delicious I really enjoyed the sauces on top. The lychee connection was dangerously good, with the right balance of sweetness and alcohol. I really did not like the wait In between getting our drinks, our appetizer or our entree which was about 10-20 mins. My husband got his food before I got my sushi another ten minutes later. However, although our wait times were significant because the sushi chefs were behind the food was delicious. The sushi and sashimi combo comes with a great variety of fresh fish. Some even had a little wasabi underneath. The pepper steak also had the right amount of spice and sweetness. I would recommend visiting here but heads up you may wait awhile.

    Pad Thai - Chicken
    Nicole T.

    Met my family here for dinner. The restaurant is decorated very cute. The servers were very helpful getting our order in and even provided suggestions based on what we told them we liked. The food we ordered all had great flavor. The prices were a little on the spendy side but I imagine their rent for this area is not cheap. We would definitely come back.

    Sushi rolls
    Kavitha P.

    Came here for lunch and used a BOgO deal for the sushi rolls Sushi was great, chef was nice who makes them The red snapper curry tasted good but was difficult to eat as whole fish and bones and we were not given actual sized plates to eat them on or discard of the bones until we kept asking for plates The cashew stir fry with pork lacked some flavor in my opinion and not like the typical stir fry I'm used to Also none of our dishes came out with the beautiful hibiscus flowers that I see all over social media and other patrons dishes had them so I'm sure they just forgot ? Would try some other dishes if in the area again and hope it's an improvement since I hear great things about them

    Looks good. But not worth $20. Taste was really bad. Like fried rice with lemon.

    Everything was good except nam khao tod. It was trash. No crunch. Huge ass green onions. No red chilies. Too sour. No curry taste. No mint. Sushi, eggrolls, and edamame were

    Stopped in for an early dinner and was immediately seated. Staff was friendly and inquired about our knowledge of Thai food and Laotian, offering guidance. We immediately ordered spring rolls and their sweet green curry with medium spice as well as the red at Thai delight curry also, medium spice. Both came out with a healthy serving of rice and steaming bowls of curry filled with vegetables. *Tip* You could easily share these dishes if you aren't looking to take anything home as we each had about half of our meals to take home. We loved the creamy flavor, filled broth- No notes, these were so delicious. Also, the environment is super cute with a photo like wall, where you could take pictures. They really produced a vibey restaurant that fits with the diversity of University Ave.

    Minnesotans be warned: they mean their spice levels. I can usually handle a little spicier than average, but not here. I ordered a medium red curry with chicken and it was delicious, but my nose was running like crazy. Next time I will try mild/medium. My partner ordered hot drunken noodles, and also said it was spicy (I did not dare to try it). We also got the fried eggrolls which were very yummy The ambiance is nice, and they have tables that can fit large groups. There was a wait when we went in on a Friday, though there was space at the bar. We had an issue with ordering, however. We ordered online for pickup, only to arrive after our scheduled time and find out that our order had not gone through. The staff all seemed very confused, and were not super friendly about it, and then had to rush to put the order through while I stood there waiting. So that was a snafu and not a great experience, but I would try again to see if it's a pattern or a one-off. 4 stars for this reason, but I would go back.

    We decided on Hai Hai for Independence Day dinner as it was one of the few restaurants on our…read moreto-try list that was open. While we made a reservation a couple of weeks in advance for an earlier 5PM dinner, it wasn't busy at all at that time. We easily could have gone without. Hai Hai is a really large restaurant, far larger than I anticipated, with plenty of spaces on the back patio, a large bar area, and a lot of seating indoors up in front. We were led to one of the indoor tables which we appreciated immensely given the heat outside. We found the service to be prompt and efficient. The food came out fast, within 10 minutes or so. They must be really efficient in the kitchen. Hat Yai Chicken ($23) - I've eaten this dish several times in the past, but always bone in. This one, on the other hand, includes two pieces of fried boneless thigh, mostly cleaned and stripped of skin. I say mostly because one thigh still had quite a large chunk of cartilage attached. Unfortunately removing the skin also removes a protective layer to help the chicken from being drying out. And overfried this is, making the meat somewhat tough and stringy, although there's just a bit of intermuscular chicken fat to moisten things up a tad. The hard fry does allow the breading to develop into a robust crunch, however, and with the fried garlic, fried curry leaves, and sliced Thai chili on top, makes a flavorful and texturally interesting bite. The chicken is served on top of a piece of roti. I assume it's homemade since it's on the denser side of things and is floury, without that glass shatteringly crisp skin of some other roti varieties I've had. There's a dip of red curry on the side, which is aromatic and flavorful, sweet with coconut milk to start, then the aroma of curry leaf and spices, and finally a small bit of heat to warm the mouth. It's strangely served lukewarm instead of hot. Finally, there's a small pile of home made pickles. Nice to eat, but the rest of the dish isn't fatty, oily, or heavy enough to really require them. Then again, it's nice to have as a palette refresher between bites of the flavorful chicken and curry. (4/5) Vietnamese Crepe, Pork & Shrimp ($23) - I've only eaten banh xeo once before and I found it to be a greasy, soggy mess. This one is anything but. The pancake stays completely crisp, almost shatteringly so, even on the bottom surface facing the plate. Of course it's still a messy dish to eat, due to having to cut it up to eat in lettuce wraps, mixed with herbs. Four large lettuce leaves are included, along with cilantro and some (holy?) basil. The banh xeo s not easy to cut with the provided butter knife, so I asked for the steak knife - still not easy to cut! Inside the crisp crepe are several pieces of shrimp, tender and not overcooked at all, a bunch of almost melt-in-the-mouth cubes of pork belly, then a bed of wilted onions, green onions, and bean sprouts. I love how the bean sprouts are cooked here instead of being raw like in so many Vietnamese dishes. This dish is served with two sauces. One a sweetened fish sauce Nước Chấm. For some reason I taste some fruity elements but I could be imagining things. The other is a barely spicy sriracha-ish sauce. (5/5) Visiting Hai Hai was definitely a good choice for dinner. I can see why the head chef has a James Beard award to her name! Bathrooms - Four all gender stalls, two wash stations right outside. It's great since most foods are messy finger foods that needs a convenient wash area. Food: [4.5/5] Service: [+] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

We ended with the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake. So so yummy!!! Our server was great and the vibe of this place was so fun. The plants and colors really bring a nice pop to the area!!

I quickly browsed the menu a week before but was so excited to see the space and order dinner and a few drinks. Right when you come in the doors, it feels like you're transported to a completely different area. The decor is absolutely beautiful and the indoor outdoor living and seating was something out of this world this place is a must see and must try food. The service is quick and everyone is there to help. So my Laotian friend told me that I needed to order the Siin Swan as an appetizer and then the New York strip Laab with sticky rice since that's like their traditional meal. We also ordered these the basil wings that was served with this amazing spicy tomato paste and then for the entrées we did a green curry octopus that was cooked to perfection. I've never had octopus like that before. We also ordered the duck fried rice and the Massann curry everything was so delicious. We were wanting more, but we were so full. We took one quick look at the dessert menu and we had to order the pistachio cake again absolutely phenomenal, fantastic flavor and the crunch of the pistachio was perfect. I cannot wait to come back here and tell everybody about this place to make sure that they come here when they're in Minneapolis area.

There were 2 tables separated which was a bit awkward. Not sure if that was a choice or how it's just always set up. I believe the room required a $1000 min spend (or maybe more) but to my surprise the menu was pre planned (personal nightmare for me as I don't eat pork/beef/seafood - most of the menu). I looked at the menu days before and there weren't many things I could eat... but I was excited to see they had basil wings. We had welcome drinks which were good and were able to order drinks from the cocktail menu. The food started coming out but 2/4 ppl at our table didn't eat beef/pork and again we didn't realize there was a 2nd special menu for another person at the other table so that table got foods different from ours and we had to order additional chicken and rice. Pretty much wasted 1/2 of the dishes of food on our table. The basil wings were good but the rice wasn't good - very bland. The bill came to almost $3k and split 16 ways (after the event) $180 for 5 wings, bland rice & 2 cocktails definitely left a bad taste for me. I get this was the terms of attending the event and may be more so on the host not communicating how it works prior but for $3k definitely could have been better. After we ate we were told they have a speaker hook-up for music, people were already leaving. We did have a great time but definitely should have had music going upon arrival. Super tiny parking lot but plenty of street parking. They have a really cute patio and the main restaurant is cute!

Among all the dishes I have tried, some of my favorites include the crab fried rice, the panang curry, the tom yum soup, the mango sticky rice, the masaman curry, and the chicken wings. Particularly, the crab fried rice got my attention because it was significantly more expensive than the other fried rice dishes, so I knew there was a reason for that and ordered the dish. It was super flavorful and the real crab meat including the claws were evident, and it wasn't clumpy at all, indicating that they used rice that was at least a day old. The panang curry was so savory that the ground peanuts just elevated the flavor and gave it that much creaminess texture. The masaman had a good amount of onions, tomatoes, potatoes, and roasted peanuts, and offered a comprehensively pleasant experience. The mango sticky rice was as good as that dish itself could be, because the dessert creation was simply fire. And finally, the chicken wings had incredibly soft meat and was seasoned inside out which made them really tasty. I would say the only dishes I didn't enjoy as much was the pad see yew which I thought had too much soy sauce because it was a bit salty. I also thought the pad thai didn't have enough tamarind and a bit too much palm sugar, but honestly that's with Thai food here in the United States in general. Regardless, the food here is just too good and this establishment may have just become my go-to spot for Thai food within the metro if I am to hang out with my friends over Thai food. I must also mention that the space is really nice because it bright and has many tables which makes it easy to hang out with friends and chat here, and I thoroughly love that.
