    We went here with a large group - 14 people. (We've also eaten here multiple times as a family of 4) The waiter was very patient (several 10 - 12 year olds that were kinda confused when they were ordering and as food arrived). Everything was delicious, boba was tasty, and they were able to divide our bill. THEY HAVE TEA SALAD!! This is the only place in the twin cities that I've found with tea salad. It is delicious, I'm not sure why it's called tea salad. My guess is that the green powder on top is finely ground green tea. It has an earthy, slightly bitter compliment to the bright, fresh salad. I'm coming back just for this salad on Friday. They also have a photo area which was great for a kid photo shoot while we waited for our food. The food was a tad slow for our big group and dishes were delivered as they were ready. When I've come as a group of 4 everything was prompt. Just something to know if you have a huge group.

    I dine out in restaurants 5 days a week due to my work. Like any frequent diner, I have had my ups and downs. This week at Flamin' Thai was nothing but up... It was a stratospheric experience. Chef JR put out creation after creation of some of the most stunning sushi and sashimi of my young life. (It was my 62nd birthday celebration, so I get to say young...) Our bartender Kelly was so very friendly and so very accommodating, she made it feel like Flamin' Thai was our place for the night. Thank you everyone at Flamin' Thai for a fantastic birthday!

    Great savory Thai food - a solid 4 stars! I had a good first visit to Flamin Thai. I grabbed some spring rolls, a coconut milk & peanut curry dinner, and fried ice cream (with green tea ice cream). Every bite was excellent. The customer service was awesome. And the prices were surprisingly reasonable. Unfortunately, Flamin Thai no longer offers sushi because wholesale prices are too high and customers near the U of M (many are students) weren't buying any of it. Bummer. I lived on the west bank for several years back in the 80s. I have many fond memories of the West Bank. But I was pretty bummed out after I left. The manager gave me an earful about food prices and worse, the general degradation, the state of disrepair, and crime on the West Bank. The obvious things you see are lots of store fronts that are boarded up with graffiti all over the place. Sad. In addition to the high food prices and the general state of disrepair, there's a big crime problem on the West Bank...lots of stolen cars, stolen purses, robberies, etc. He said there was a car stolen in front of their building last week, while they ran in to grab some food to-go. And last week a woman on the patio had her purse stolen. Wow! As a result of all these problems, Flamin Thai is moving. When their lease is up they plan to relocate to NE, close to Surdyke's Liquors. I wish them good luck and success in the future. Thanks for a great visit, Flamin Thai! -Maxx P.S. One demerite for charging me an automatic credit card fee even though I paid with cash!

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Nicholas K.

    After traveling all morning, I stopped here for lunch based on the posted reviews. I got the lunch special, pad Thai with chicken and 3 pot stickers. As others correctly stated, the food is good and solid, not the greatest I've ever had, but a solid lunch!

    This is apparently a new iteration of the Asian place that was here before. They have new owners and a new menu. I came in prior to seeing a performance at Theatre in the Round, and I will probably always consider eating here before seeing a show in the neighborhood. It's a really pleasantly put together little space that's clean and classy compared with other nearby eateries. I ordered chicken Pad Thai at "medium" spice level... and it was quite hot! But, like, good though! I was kind of like, "ooh yeah!" I'll totally get it like that again, but be warned that their idea of medium is hotter than most places' mediums. Yum, though. It's a small enough space that it's really easy for the whole crew to have their eyes on what's going on and keep everyone taken care of. So you get good service on top of the good food. Prices are typical of what you normally see for this type of cuisine. I'm excited to come back and try more of their stuff!

    Massaman Curry and pad see ew
    Kimberly L.

    Went in during a thunder storm, soaking wet. The hostess/server was so nice to us! The whole atmosphere was really welcoming. We ordered the massaman curry which was both sweet and savior and such a good position for $15!!! We also got the pad see ew and the noodles had a good flavor and they were soft and chewy. I added some of their chilli oil and it heightened the flavor. They will be officially changing to Thai garden flow and on Sept 2-3 they'll be having a %40 off the whole menu! Will definitely be coming back with friends and family.

    Fried Tofu
    Joshua N.

    Moving from Chicago to Minneapolis, it's been hard for me to deal with the hit and miss quality of Asian food here. Furthermore, the general decline of Thai food in the twin cities over the past few years has been disheartening. But Flaimin Thai Cuisine is an unexpected exception and very pleasant surprise! Quite pleased with my experience so far, and this will surely become a regular habit for me. (Note that due to the pandemic this review is for takeout/delivery only.) Here is what I've had so far: PAD SEE EW: Quality ingredients, with no awful midwestern shortcuts. For example, they use Chinese broccoli rather than American broccoli florets. And the sauce is amazing. SPINACH CURRY: Delivered deconstructed, with spinach and curry sauce separate, this dish mixes together into an ample portion, and I had leftovers the next day. The curry sauce is intense. Spicy without too much heat. FRIED TOFU: Nicely fried, but once again the sauce is the star. The peanut dipping sauce was rich and fragrant. I want to put it on everything. I will update this review as I order more from here. And I surely will. I've learned not to take a good restaurant for granted these days.

The space can be a little cramped inside, but the service is great. This most recent time we ordered 6 dishes as a group of 4 and all left stuffed. I truly cannot pick a favorite, because I loved every dish.

    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 got 8 potstickers (they were giving 4 to each person for free to celebrate). Mouthwatering. The potstickers are the best ones I've ever had. We usually go for the chicken curry. However, this time we got the butternut squash/ shrimp mix, and their new chicken teriyaki. All of them were so flavorful, I'm pretty sure they are fresh. You can never go wrong with anything here. I would recommend everything! The only note I would make is that this is a smaller restaurant. There isn't a lot of space for the demand. If you go, I would recommend making a reservation. If you don't, you will most than likely have to wait for a table to open up. The service is always great. This time our food took a very long time, especially our main dishes.

All the dumplings had nice side dishes with them, including rainbow slaw, pickles, and whichever sauce we chose, and my personal favorite was the chili oil or the garlic chili aioli, which was surprising because I normally ate dumplings with vinegar back home in China. The golden cloud bites were very authentically made as they reminded me exactly of how "golden buns" (金馒头) were made back home, and the condensed milk was exactly right in terms of what to dip them in. Conversely, I didn't enjoy the bowls as much. The veggie bowl had diverse ingredients but I think having more eggplant would help more because the caramelization can enhance the overall flavor. As for the sambal chicken rice bowl, I personally would prefer sambal rather than the sambal ranch that was included because the two ingredients had different flavors, and sambal itself, rather than sambal ranch, would have given the bowl more vibrantly pungent spice and umami flavors. Since this place has multiple locations, I would recommend one to ensure that their desired dishes are served at the particular locations they are trying to visit. I am just happy about the fact that there is a place like this establishment that serves tasty dumplings, and I would love to return and try some of their sandwiches and burritos.
