The restaurant is in a quiet neighborhood next to a gas station so there's plenty of parking. We've…read morebeen here a few times when they first open and more often when we moved to Blaine, MN. We would bring our Hmong family here when they visit. I love the display of Hmong art, crafts and tools. Unfortunately, service has always been slow even on a weekday. I'm unsure why since workers do come around and check in. I've had their pho, laab, papaya salad, chicken wings etc. It's not memorable but it's Hmong food. Hoping they bring back waitressing for serving utensils, and dinnerware rather than having customers fetch their own water, foam plates or plastic ones. It's not appropriate to bring extended family here anymore when we have to tell them to get their own utensils and pho veggies from their service area. We prefer Pho 126 for large family dining or Boba & Tea Deli for Hmong food.

Quite tasty and fast for takeout!…read more I especially enjoyed the papaya salad and drunken noodle, but those are usually my favorites. The various meats were executed well (mixed platter, rack of ribs) with good flavor. The ribs were especially smoky, but quite charred as a result The spice level was pretty inconsistent -- one of the ones at the lowest level was distinctly spicy while the one at the medium level was pretty mild. Worth a visit!

The prices are comparable to other Chinese cuisine in the area. All of our food was fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the honey walnut shrimp and the fried rice. Most places will allow you to choose white or fried rice with entrees and Angkor says "white rice only", but I am glad I decided to order fried rice anyway. It was colorful, rich, flavorful- all that fried rice should be. My only critique was for the noodles. They gelled together into 1 big lump. Maybe they were put into the container piping hot? The flavors were still there but the noodles forming 1 inseparable mass made them challenging to eat. Overall we were highly satisfied with our food and will order takeout from them again.

Amazingly for living in the South West Suburbs of Minneapolis (or maybe a little farther than what…read moreyou would consider that), I had never been to Lat14. Lat14 Asian Eatery is a critically acclaimed restaurant in Golden Valley, Minnesota, created by Chef Ann Ahmed. Its name comes from the 14th parallel north, inspiring a menu of bold, shareable Southeast Asian dishes from Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. The food was phenomenal, which shouldn't be surprising coming from Chef Ann Ahmed's pedigree of awards. We started with a couple of appetizers. First was the Basil Wings which were Tempura Fried with Thai Basil, Jalapenos, and a Signature Dry Rub. Wow the tempura gave a satisfying crunch with a beautiful zing of spices. Next was the Snow Crab Wontons which were filled with Cream Cheese, Snow Crab, and served with Apricot Sweet Chili. These were stuffed with crab and you totally could taste it. The sweet/spicy sauce with nice acidic bite cut through the cream cheese very well. For my main, I went with the Lao Yum Salad which consisted of Mixed Greens, Tomato, Cucumber, Red Onion, Toasted Almonds, Watermelon Radish, Hard Boiled Egg and Lao Yum Dressing. Perfectly balanced and the dressing was delightful. Oh, and can't forget about the House Pickle Assortment of delicious tangy morsels. ___

It had been a long while since I was last able to visit this establishment, since I now live out of…read morestate. When I recently finally got a chance to go while in town, it was a must visit. I used to go at least once a month when living in state and on the west side of the river, especially when they had happy hour (the one negative aspect I have to report. But I digress...) Ann Ahmed is a Laotian-American Minnesotan and 3 times James Beard semi-finalist. This restaurant is known to serve food around the "14th latitude" and is FAMILY STYLE, so keep in mind while ordering. The food also comes out as it is ready rather than all at once per course. My twin sister and I went one cloudy summer's afternoon and sat outside on the patio, surrounded by lush greenery under decorative cloth shading hung above us. Of course, we got the lumpia, which they split in half for us since it was only us two and they come 3 to a plate (or 4 if you pay an extra $8 or something...) and the nam khao for "starters." For once, we both decided to try something different rather than our go-to (heavenly exquisite) Khao soi (sincerely, just divine). I ordered the pad thai with fried tofu and she ordered the squash curry with a side of roasted chicken to add. We both also got cocktails. I got the mango margarita and my sister got the old fashion (lat 14 style). The lumpia are crispy, flaky and filled with the perfect ratio of succulent pork to fillings served with a spicy dipping sauce. When cut in half, they sear the end of the cut portion to seal in the flavor and contents. Next came the khao soi, a dish to tantalize and tease the palate with the crunch of puffed rice and peanuts and the umami bite of pork flavored with lemongrass and other seasonings wrapped in a crispy lettuce leaf. Living currently in Miami, an absolute vacuum for even gross asian food, I was CRAVING pad thai and Lat 14 delivered. Perfectly cooked noodles with the right amount of sauce (not too dry and not swimming either) with lots of protein, perfectly cooked scrambled egg, fresh beansprouts that don't overcrowd the other ingredients and the crushed fresh peanuts hit every note my taste buds craved. I also was allowed to try the curry and never knew squash curry with coconut was the flavor I missed in my life. All in all, is it pricy? Yes. Are the portions also generous? Most definitely. Is it worth it and your wallet will be begging you to lighten itself by another visit? ABSOLUTELY! Also, our server was attentive, knowledgable and kind.

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 didn't know what to expect since food in the suburbs can be pretty hit and miss, but Soi21 was actually really, really good. We got the Moo Krob, the red curry, sticky rice, and both the roasted eggplant jeow and the roasted tomato jeow. We also both got a cocktail. Service was fast and the inside was pleasant enough (it must have once been a Caribou, it reminded me of one). The food was definitely really good. The stars of the show were the jeows, some of the best we have had. The curry was flavorful and tasty, as was the Moo Krob. The cocktails were good; I would not come here expecting the same quality as a cocktail bar, but for a mom and pop thai restaurant, they were definitely above average. All in all I would definitely reccomed this place, especially before a show at the new amphitheater.

It's a small thing, but drinking flat syrup really sets a bad tone for the rest of the meal. We also tried the Bulgogi Fries. They were fine, I guess, but definitely not worth what they're charging. They are way overpriced for what you actually get. The food didn't get much better from there: Chicken Fried Rice: This was extremely "normal." There wasn't anything special about it, but for some reason, it had a weird hit of sugar in it that shouldn't have been there. Japchae: This was the real disaster. Japchae is not supposed to be sweet, but this version was sugary and cloying. It was honestly the grossest japchae I've ever had, and I've been eating that dish my entire life. Ultimately, the whole meal just felt like an exercise in late-stage capitalism: mass-produced, overpriced, oversugared and poor quality. People really shouldn't be eating this kind of food. Save your time and your cash and go somewhere else.
