Sometimes I find that on Yelp the reviews/ratings are inflated, but this place definitely deserves the 5 stars. The ingredients were so fresh! My go to anytime I try a new Thai restaurant is panang curry with tofu, which allows me to compare "apples to apples" so to speak (and also it's my favorite.) This was literally among my top 5 places of all time. The ambiance is nice, the service was quick. I tried a few of my companions' dishes and they were also delicious. I have previously felt that I didn't care for bamboo shoots, but the ones that were in a soup were so fresh and the soup was well-balanced. Highly recommend!

It was a nice area and I could see it being pretty well set to host a large crowd. I got the pork belly laab and cheese wontons. The laab was so good!

I got veggie pad thai and chicken green curry. Both medium spice. Definitely "Minnesota medium spice". The flavors of both dishes were a bit bland, like the flavoring was muted or diluted too much.

If you're looking for the best Thai food in the Twin Cities, Coconut Thai is hands down my…read morefavorite. 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 used to go to the lovely original King and I Thai on LaSalle many years ago; it was in the garden…read morelevel basement of an historic building and had a cozy bar and nice outdoor seating. This was my first time trying their new suburban stripmall incarnation and, while it's not even a tenth as cool as the original spot, the food is still good and they helpfully label all their vegan or veganizable options. The vegetarian egg roll ($7) is vegan by default and consists of two really large, deep-fried marvels. I enjoyed these a lot. The holy basil stir fry can be made vegan ($16) and has a deeply savory and spicy sauce with chewy-meaty fried tofu and mushrooms. I liked this dish and appreciated the complexity of the sauce. The raad na ($13) can be made vegan and the sauce is thick and tasty without being gloopy. I wish it had more preserved soy beans and Chinese broccoli, but it still tasted great. King and I makes some of the best Thai food in the Twin Cities. It's a shame it's so isolated in Mendota Heights. If you want similarly delicious and vegan-friendly Thai food closer-in, check out Amazing Thailand or Sen Yai Sen Lek in Minneapolis; Bangkok Thai Deli in St. Paul is also an authentic hole-in-the-wall that caters to vegans.

Wasn't expecting that. Not the salad I was expecting. Fried rice was ok. Ordered combination, only had two pieces of shrimp and barely any beef. Lots of chicken. Pad Thai was good but I've had better. Eggrolls were alright too. Have better. Portion sizes are skimpy for the price. For what I paid, I would have gotten the Togo boxes either filled up or bigger boxes in San Diego. Food arrived in the time frame I was given.

The place was lively and welcoming, with thriving plants by the big windows. Everyone working was nice even as they were swamped with takeout and online orders in addition to the place being packed with diners. The food at Thai Basil was delicious. The fried appetizers were crunchy and flavorful, and the main dishes were filling. Portions were generous on most dishes, so we had leftovers to look forward to. Standout dishes for me were the Basil Fried Rice and the Tom Kha. Location is right off the green line light rail and neighborhood parking is a block or so away!

I went with an order of shrimp spring rolls and the #29 Pad Keow Waan (green curry), and some white rice. This was way more than enough food for me, but I was hungry after a long day of travel! I did request chopsticks and utensils with my order as well as a napkin, but that did not arrive with it. The food itself was very tasty. I'll be at the green curry a bit and the sweeter side than I am used to. I can't speak to the audience of the restaurant since I had it delivered, but overall, I was pleased with the food and would order from here again or perhaps visit in person if I find myself in the area.

I also appreciated the simple, thoughtfully curated menu. Instead of pages of choices, they focus on what they do best--noodles, curries, and appetizers--and it shows. I ordered the Pad See Ew at the "Shy" (Level 1) spice, and it was perfect for me. It was just the right amount of 'bite' for my taste buds. The spice levels are cleverly named, progressing to "First Step" "Brave," and "Native." The Thai tea was excellent--freshly steeped and clearly a labor of love. It took a little longer to prepare, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The mango sticky rice was to die for and the perfect way to end the meal. Combined with our friendly server and relaxed atmosphere, this was one of those unexpected finds that makes traveling so enjoyable. I'm so glad we decided to stroll in. Highly recommend! If I'm in the area again, I will definitely visit. As we say in Hawaii- Mahalo and a hui hou!
