Hong Thai delivers some real highs, with a few misses along the way…read more The vegetable soup was excellent, fresh, clean, and comforting, with vegetables that tasted bright and just prepared. The egg rolls were a standout as well: crispy, well-seasoned, and genuinely memorable. The spicy fried rice with basil, however, fell short. While the vegetables were fresh and well-cooked, the dish lacked the spice and flavor I was expecting. It felt mild and underwhelming compared to how promising it sounded on the menu. Service was fine, nothing exceptional, but no major issues and the ambiance is what you'd expect from a local Thai spot: casual, comfortable, and straightforward.

We went back (again) today. Friendliest service and food remains delicious. We tried a couple of…read morenew to us dishes including the drunken noodles and a coconut curry spin on pad Thai - both were wonderful. They had takeout going pretty steadily. We are going to try another curry next time or maybe a soup. They have one of my favorite peanut sauces too!

The ramen and quail special was great too. We'll try to get back next week. The 35 min drive for us is worth it! Weak on beverages tho... water and sodas only.

Cambo Flare is a hidden gem in Big Lake!…read more Since we visited last, they have changed up their dining experience, but we enjoyed it! You scan the QR code at your table, order online, pay online and someone delivers all items (to your table) in takeout containers. Even with this updated experience, without "wait staff", everyone was helpful and attentive. The signature sticks, with the yum-yum sauce, has to be my personal favorite. You have to be so careful not to fill up on their delicious wontons and purple egg rolls (appetizers!) The restaurant and restrooms are clean and welcoming - nothing fancy, just what you would expect for small town dining! It looks like they host local musicians from time to time. The owner was working alongside his team and so friendly! He often treats his customers to his signature sweet wontons (secret flavors!) Our only complaint, and this comes paired with a picky eater. The description of their dishes doesn't necessarily disclose all vegetables/ingredients used. So, some surprises were had! It was delicious and a very minor complaint! We can't wait to visit again!

Visited Sweet Basils for dinner tonight. There were two other tables occupied, so it wasn't busy…read more Service was not good. We asked for tea when we arrived, we ended up having to ask again after the food was brought out. We had to ask for silverware, which was not provided at the table. The waitress didn't come check on us to see how the food was or refill beverages. The only time she came to the table was to take the order, deliver food and drop off the bill. As for the food, they have a broad menu with many options. I ordered the cashew chicken. Lots of veggies and some chicken, it was ok. Overall was disappointed by the service and food was just ok.

Located in a strip mall in Brooklyn Park, off of 610…read more My second time giving this place a try. Overall good experience both times. Service is friendly. They serve some Thai, some Vietnamese, and some Chinese. I prefer a place that can pick a lane rather than try to accommodate 2+ types of cuisines. The place has about 15 or so tables. Both times I came for lunch and they have a $13.95 lunch special with choice of white or fried rice and then fried wontons or egg roll. Overall, flavor profile is sweet. They also use a lot of fish sauce. I ordered the spicy chicken Thai stir fry and egg roll. Egg roll is crispy and a little on the thinner side. The stir fry was ok. My friend ordered the lunch special chicken curry which she said that she liked. This place was busy with office groups out for lunch and a few other diners. This place wouldn't be a top choice for lunch but it's decent.

This place was recommended by family and friends but it did not meet our expectation…read more Service: there was only one worker, a very young boy. He definitely did not want to work because he didn't look happy and never smile throughout the time we were there. He also did not greet us nor was he attentive. He even forgot our drinks, water and a can of soda. For visual, we were the only customers during our visit. Food: dishes were either too salty or bland. They were not flavorful and the portions were small. Inside: The restaurant had very poor ventilation. They had the AC on and blowing but the entire restaurant was full of fog from the kitchen cooking. It was so bad some of us had to step outside with our babies. The employee serving must had been oblivious to it because he didn't even seem to care. He continued to work like he wasn't walking through any fog.

Service is mostly self-serve. When I walked into the restaurant, I was immediately met with the smell of delicious meats being grilled. My youngest child actually said (after smelling the food), "Yummm, I like this place." There are a few tables and the place is well-lit. I thought the pho was okay, but the rest of the food was very good. Look at those Flinstone-sized ribs (see picture). Go and go hungry! Pros: Soup bar! Great staff BBQ meats smell and taste great Cons: There are other Hmong restaurants whose prices are a little cheaper than Rocky's.
