Ordered delivery on Uber eats. They had a deal on it so I gave it a shot and 10 out of 10. The food was still hot even though I was about 9 miles away. Got the green curry and bogo veggie rolls and even if the rolls weren't bogo I would get. There were 3 in the order and huge. The eggplant in the curry was better than any I've had bc it was sliced and it still had a good crunch unlike sometimes the eggplant gets soggy. Everything was delicious even though I didn't take pics. I will order again when I am in town and want Thai. read more

The restaurant is cute with a decent amount of seating but the tables for two people are very small. The service is good however it appears they can easily be stretched thin when waves of people come. I ordered the drunken noddles which was very satisfying. The app I ordered was the fried tofu which wasnt nasty but was very bland with no juiciness inside. I basically had to drown the tofu in the sauce it came with. Overall I would come back here most likely to catch up with a friend but definitely not a place I would circle in my calendar for when I am coming back. read more

We live a 5 minute walk from Kindee, and we have been avoiding eating here because of all the bad reviews on Yelp. What a HUGE mistake! We were super impressed with our food from Kindee, and it will likely become our go-to Thai place in the neighborhood. The appetizers we got were both great: we really liked the tempura veggies and especially the sauce that came with them, as well as the tom yum soup. Our drunken noodles and Penang curry were both great too (pro tip: you can add extra veggies to entrees for just $1!). The portions are on the smaller side, but two entrees and an app should be enough for most couples. We ordered ahead and everything was ready just as promised when we got there. All of our food came in eco friendly compostable dishes, which we *really* appreciated. The inside is super inviting and well decorated, so it will be great to eat here once it's safe to do so. All in all, I would highly recommend this restaurant for takeout! read more

Kindee Thai Restaurant - From bottom left, counter clockwise to top right: drunken noodle, tom yum soup, Penang curry, and tempura veggies. - Thai Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Great location across the street from the Guthrie. But the food was highly disappointing. The beef larb tasted like just a pile of hamburger meat. I had to add chili paste, hot sauce, and the juice from half a lime to make it flavorful. The chicken satay had a terrible texture -- dry and crumbly. And the peanut sauce that accompanied it was very oily. Not recommended. read more

Sadly I see why this place only has three stars! I love Thai food and wanted a good diner before a show at the Guthrie, but this place left much to be desired. Don't get me wrong they have great customer service, super friendly and pleasant staff and their location is prime but their food however falls short. We had the Tamarind wings as an appetizer and shared the shrimp drunken noodle as an entree. The wings were basic ! I felt it was not worth the calories. The Thai iced tea was too tart so I had to ask for more cream and the drunken noodle was super spicy and is not something I would order again. read more

I will not patronize this restaurant again!! I ordered to go. When I got to restaurant to pick up order I noticed they had to go menus and I wanted to take one with me. I asked the woman who took care of me if I could take a menu. She said they didn't have to go menus. That was a lie!! I said to her what about those to go menus behind the front desk. She then said I could look at menu online. I just can't believe a restaurant would refuse to provide to go menus to patrons but lie to them!! It's unbelievable!! Ok so now for the food... skip this place because it lacks good taste. I ordered the Thai Basil w chicken, spicy too. It wasn't spicy like I requested. Also the rice and entree were on same container. Typically the rice is given on a white little carton box... so I don't understand the presentation of the entree on same container. I have had Thai in Chicago so I was disappointed with this restaurant!! It looked really modern however it was empty. Also the portion I got for the price was extremely unsatisfying!! There are so many red flags on this place!!! Like i said, i will not return and maybe you shouldn't try it. read more

Listen, I'm not usually one to complain... the service, food and music here were not on par. I had the drunken noodles and Nancy had the chicken skewers. My noodles were okay but they did smell a bit like dog food which my wife did NOT like. Our server took his sweet time coming around. The music was outdated and unpleasant. The spring rolls were very dry and didn't come with peanut sauce which is one of my favorites. We won't be returning here. I hope for their sake they can improve upon things. read more

I walked over to Kindee Thai as it was close to a conference I was attending at the Guthrie Theater. Was looking for some spicy Lemongrass soup to help with a cold I was experiencing. I ordered the soup (Tom Yum with chicken) and an order of the Som Tum (Papaya salad). When the food came out, I tasted the soup first. It was lukewarm. I flagged down my server and she returned with a steaming bowl of soup. Makes one wonder, however, if the soup is sitting around at that temperature - if so, not a good thing. The Papaya salad was rather ordinary - not as crisp and spicy as I've experienced at some better Thai restaurants. Service was good. There are probably better Thai culinary experiences to be had in the Twin Cities area! read more

The best thing about Kindee is the appetizers. The worst thing about Kindee is the Chicken Pad Thai. They pull a major plot twist on you when you order it. You're lucky if you get 3-4 pieces of chicken because they overload the pad Thai with tofu to overcompensate for cheating you out of a real protein. I continue to go back becuse I love those damn cranberry wontons and chicken egg rolls but damnit Kindee, put some Chicken in the CHICKEN PAD THAI! See you next week! Hahahaha read more

Our large party was very disappointed with our evening meal at this restaurant. The appetizers were good. The service was excellent but the main courses were disappointingly bland, ill prepared and dry, and the fried bananas for dessert were cold and tasted of stale oil. We will not eat there again. read more

The curry was good, pad thai was very sweet and not very savory or umami, the service is very frantic impatient. My friend showed up late and they would not let us just settle in and have time with the menu. The tall waiter that saunters around brought us our food and just plopped it down, when we said thank you they just ignored us, no "enjoy" no smile, nothing. When we were done the older guy took away our water with great haste and made us feel rushed. Portion sizes are small, and I can't believe they use Tilapia, the cheapest fish, and charge those prices. read more

The restaurant has delightful interior decor with great window views of the Guthrie across the street. The food is rather well flavored and comes out quick! Service is friendly. I think this place avoids the lame stereotypes of Thai flavours but does a careful job with preparation and presentation. read more

Came on a snowy night. Service was fast and friendly and food was amazing. The resto is right by the Guthrie Theatre and though we weren't going to a show, our server ensured we had our check in time to make the next show. Cozy and small and nice read more

I hav been here half a dozen times bc it is close to my work. I always leave underwhelmed. The food ranges from bland to odd-tasting. If you want watered-down Thai food that is sometimes overcooked (mushy rice?) This is your place! I have a colleague who likes the place. So different strokes for different folks. The lunch menu is pretty subpar, order of the main menu if you go here on your own. read more

Like probably everyone else who eats here, we stopped in before a play at the Guthrie. I arrived first and was seated immediately, even though the rest of the party on the reservation hadn't arrived yet. Between 5:30 and 6, the place went from nearly empty to nearly full (like I said, probably playgoers, so plan accordingly). Even though the staff seemed a bit rushed and stressed out, they were very friendly. The Thai iced coffee gets two thumbs up from me, and the apps we tried (beef lettuce wraps and chicken satay) were pretty delicious too. But for my entree, I ordered pad thai and asked if they could substitute chicken instead of tofu (since chicken and tofu are listed on the menu as the same price, and I don't eat soy). The waitress agreed, but when the food came out, there was both chicken AND tofu in it. I picked the tofu out, but I was upcharged for adding chicken, instead of simply swapping it out. My pad thai also had a distinct dog food taste to it, so overall it wasn't my thing. My boyfriend's yellow curry, on the other hand, was DELICIOUS. If I ever go back, that's what I'm getting. I'd also like to try the cranberry cream cheese wontons and son in law eggs. That's a pretty big "if" though. There are several Thai places around the cities that are just as good or better. (Nong's Thai in Golden Valley is still my favorite.) read more

1 star. Location: convenient in downtown, near our place. +1 star. Service: staff was friendly and food brought promptly. -1 star. Cost: expensive. Cost $18 for small portion of the food ordered. I thought it was a joke. Nope. Get a much better value elsewhere. -1 star. Taste: got the curry. All I could taste was salt and spice. Not good at all. -1 star. Value: ummm for a curry, all I got were some slices of beef in a weird tasting salt liquid. No veggies or garnish whatsoever. And they gave one small scoop of rice. Talk about stingy. Rice isn't expensive! So they expect me to drench this tiny azz scoop of rice with the liquid salt. Walk away.... read more

DONT EAT THERE!!!!!! I Add to my previously written review: if I could give it a negative score I would!!!! It wasn't just the unbeknownst to me cows milk in the beverage... There was something serious wrong with the food. Ate yesterday about noon. It is now 3:02a.m. the next morning and I am still dealing with major gastrointestinal upheaval. Now weak and dehydrated. I have already emailed MN Department of Health and will follow up with a phone call as soon as offices open so I can report to the correct entity for them to go check the kitchen. read more

Honestly don't get the bad reviews of this place. Maybe the menu has some high and low points? My order of tofu pad thai, spring rolls and cranberry wontons was phenomenal. Everything tasted fresh. Will be going back for red curry as I have heard that's great too. Not to mention the portion sizes are perfect and this is the most reasonably priced thai food in Minneapolis. EDIT: Just went back for red curry... more like salt curry xD xD xD But seriously, felt like it was dominated by salt. Wouldn't get again. Also tried the pineapple fried rice, which was very nice as fried rice goes. read more

I don't live in Minneapolis, so maybe this is decent Thai for this city but... it's pretty bad. There were dried cranberries in the pineapple fried rice (WTF) and my thai basil with tofu felt like it had been sitting on the counter for 30 minutes. The rice was NOT fresh. The pad see ew was the highlight of the evening. While it was mediocre for the dish, it was hot and fresh. The service was pretty unfriendly, but there were only two wait staff in a packed restaurant, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The good thing about Thai food is that even bad or mediocre still tastes pretty darn good. But between 2 of us, 3 dishes was what we needed, so be prepared for small proportions. read more

Location is what brought me to Kindee - directly next to the Guthrie Theater makes it a perfect pre-show dinner. Unfortunately, they do not serve cocktails; wine and beer only. Additionally, their Thai cuisine is middle of the road. 1 out of 4 dishes we got was worth going back for - so order the yellow curry! read more

I was a little skeptical after reading the reviews, but our family dinner turned out to be pretty good. Glad we made a reservation, all the show patrons were there too. It was pretty packed. Service was great! Food ordered was great! Pineapple fried rice was excellent. Wasn't sure with the cranberries, but it was really good and the added shrimp were huge. Jumbo asparagus and shrimp Pad Thai Crab Claw fried rice Calamari Tempura Vegetables Jungle Curry Mee Gati All said to be good! Place is a tad dark and small, but it worked for our group! read more

Great happy hour specials! I got the Fried Tofu for an appetizer and the Vegetable Stir-Fry with Jasmine Rice for an entree. Both delicious but a little plain. I wasn't asked about a level of spiciness, but it was extremely mild- it could've used more seasoning! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our waitress offered great suggestions and regularly checked on us- and boxed our leftovers! The inside is decent and the location is great. read more

Kindee Thai Restaurant - Vegetable Stir-Fry: Broccoli, Red Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Green Bean, Carrot, Eggplant, Snow Peas, Garlic ($13) - Thai Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Was hesitant about a 3-star rating, but figured we'd give it a shot! We ordered the Papaya Salad, Tom Kha, Tom Yum, Panang Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice..Everything was delicious and fairly priced! Both soups were personally sized which I could see why people would dislike that, but for us it was great. Typical Thai places offer it in a bigger bowl but then that typically sets the entree for the meal. Two individual options allowed my girlfriend and I to each have different soups and still enjoy more! Maybe they should offer a shared option on the menu? The soups were delicious, not enough spice for my taste but it was quickly resolved with some chili powder. Papaya salad was refreshing, Panang Curry was delicious, Mango Sticky Rice- you can't go wrong. The great experience I had here compelled me to write this review as the current rating does not reflect anywhere close to only 3-stars! read more

Not good. Just not good. Price is confusing because entree does not come with chicken, tofu or any meat, and choosing those will be an extra add-on. Fried noodle came out super oily and appeared glossy. Portions were extremely small, like light version of a proper entree. Done eating in minutes and came out still 70% hungry. Very expensive for what you get. DO NOT recommend this place at all. read more

I gave this place 2 stars only because the service was good. So the food is bland and needs salt and all types of spices. The thai seems to be very americanized and is lacking. The place is very convenient if you go see a show at the guthrie but the food is not soo good. They have a full bar and great outdoor seating. I went for lunch with 2 other co workers and one of them was like is that what thai food taste like. OMG is guess for your average non meat eater they are not use to eating things with flavor. A big part of the meals is the flavor that the chicken or beef or even pork give it. This place does not server pork products it seems. I ordered the cashew and it needed lots of salt and there was not pork option. The price is ok for the location but its not a good thai read more

Kindee Thai opened in May of 2008, and being that I live so close to the restaurant, I walked by it nearly every day with anticipation of having a (potentially) great Thai restaurant so close to me. Boy, was I disappointed. I went a couple of months after it opened. To be fair, I wanted to give it enough time to get on the ground running before I could make any full judgments. My companion ordered the Pad Thai while I had Pad See Ew. I was fully expecting something tasteful, delicious...however you put it and I got the opposite! The noodles were so eggy and hardly had any sauce. There were a few pieces of chicken in it but not many. And for $12, it was NOT worth it. The Pad Thai came with a small dish of seasoning that he did not put on right away but should have. He practically scraped the bottom of the seasoning dish to get every bit of it to add some flavor. It was uninspired and plain and way too full of noodles but nothing else. I will hand it to them: they did give us small samples of coconut ice cream with a cinnamon stick: a good thing to clear the palette with. Kindee COULD be good if they did a few things: lowered their prices, added more items to the menu (appetizers, entrees) and got some real taste into their items. read more

Love Kindee...food and service first rate. The traditional Thai entres never go wrong, Take-out is very efficient.....I highly recommend

The Chicken Satay was dry yet covered in oil. With the sauce it is served with it is better, but still pretty dry. The Pad Thai is not brag-worthy however if you are craving pad Thai on a budget it definitely can fulfill this need at just $12. The service was great, the food was served very quickly and before I could even notice that I needed something the waitress was already there to fulfill the need. read more

The positive is that this place was close to my conference, and the service was relatively fast (although I was dining alone & the people in the five top next to me were here before me and hand not received food at the time I left). The green curry chicken had good flavor, but I paid extra for chicken and only got three small pieces. Out of the cranberry cream cheese fried wontons - come on, it's a Monday - shouldn't they be prepared for the week? Average Thai food at best. read more

Traveled to Minneapolis on business and was told to stop by Kindee for dinner. We were a party of 5, restuarant was not crowded (it was early for dinner) and seated promptly. Apps: happy hour appetizer specials. Cranberry cream cheese wonton and son in law eats. Both were delicious. Especially the wanton! Wife: honey lime chicken with jasmine rice. Came with a fresh pepper topping. Really good. I do not recall everyone else's meals, but all were happy and enjoyed everything. Average prices. Modern looking restaurant. Nice staff. read more

Very disappointed in Kindee. First off the portion sizes were incredibly small. I've never only gotten one spring roll in an order. The portion of rice is never very much but we got about 1/4 cup to go with our curry. Clearly not enough. Our order of Mee Gati didn't even fill 1/3 of the container. Attached is a picture that actually looks like more than we got. Certainly not enough for one person. The food itself was okay but nothing special. We wanted some place close but we will go back to Khoi Hom Thai from now on. Much better! read more

This place is a haven for people who love Thai food without meat. The courtesy of the hosts at the restaurant supersedes the place's amazing ambience. Our host Rebecca was patiently accommodative to all our food requests (more minuses than pluses that we requested in the orders) and explained what could suit our needs. We ordered the Fresh Spring rolls, Green Curry Fried rice and Yellow Curry Fried rice. The food tasted well beyond what we had expected and that only made us order one more Yellow Curry Fried rice, to take home for the next day. A smiling host, vibrant atmosphere and delicious food make this place a must visit. After we were done with the check, Rebecca mentioned, "Will see you guys soon, again" and yes, We will definitely be back again - Many times!! read more
