We went to Gai Noi for dinner last Saturday, August 8, and had a wonderful time. We got to the…read morerestaurant around 7PM. The line outside looked intimidating but we told them any table would do. We were told that the wait is 20 min. but was seated after only 10 min. wait. We ordered the egg & basil fried rice, crispy tofu, Laab Seen (beef) , Fried Walleye, and Curry. Everything we ordered was delicious. I appreciate the added 18% reflected in the price so no surprise and the waitstaff earned their 18% tip. The dining room is cozy and clean. We loved our experience at Gai Noi.

It's family style so expect food to come out when it's ready and to pick from multiple plates. Go in with an open mind and you'll be very happy with the experience. I'd recommend holding off on the cocktails, they're okay at best and definitely not worth the price. Stick to water and enjoy the amazing food!

There weren't too many people here for a Friday night.. but it was a bit later (like 9pm) so we sat at the bar. Got drinks immediately. Again, my classic grey goose club soda lemon lime. Delicious, per usual. Got a few sushi rolls (can't remember which) but they were all really good. Super light, fresh, not too heavy, and just quality sushi! Finally, got a mango sticky rice as a free dessert for my birthday. The staff was super friendly and nice.. I really enjoyed the vibe and food here and would definitely be back! I loved the bar vibe here. Definitely somewhere that I could come just to have a few drinks and a few bites.

We ended up doing the Chef's special with Bun Bo Hue and half a banh mi. It wasnt my favorite BBH, as it had a bun rieu taste to it, but it wasnt bad.

There are booths and open tables, the place is clean, updated decor and has those flappy doors that lead into the kitchen. There's always a bunch of bags waiting for pickup for takeout orders, so there lots of activity near the kitchen -so ask for a seat somewhere away from the kitchen if you're wanting a more private/quiet area. The appetizers are scrumptious! Be sure to try the crispy beef (and try not to fight over the sticky rice balls)!! All main dishes that I've tried are good in presentation, flavor, and texture. You'll be happy with anything you order -and they're sensitive to Minnesotan tolerance of spicy foods, so most meals are made without the typical spice levels -unless you ask for it. I recommend getting your spices on the side instead of ordering with a specific spice "level". It's located in a strip mall that has a tattoo artist shop, world class donut shop (Funner Bros) and a liquor store -so around dinner time the parking lot gets pretty busy -so drive slowly!

For the vegetable we got the Fried Brussels Sprouts were amazing as well. The flavor that was in this dish was amazing. Our main course was the Balinese Chicken Thigh. It is very coconut forward, which was not my favorite thing. It is my fault for not reading the description, but I felt like the coconut cream sauce on the rice really overpowered the dish. We ended with the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake. So so yummy!!! Our server was great and the vibe of this place was so fun. The plants and colors really bring a nice pop to the area!!

Attended a birthday party here. They rented the private dining area around the side/back of the…read morerestaurant. The space was nice. Set up like a cooking show room. There were 2 tables separated which was a bit awkward. Not sure if that was a choice or how it's just always set up. I believe the room required a $1000 min spend (or maybe more) but to my surprise the menu was pre planned (personal nightmare for me as I don't eat pork/beef/seafood - most of the menu). I looked at the menu days before and there weren't many things I could eat... but I was excited to see they had basil wings. We had welcome drinks which were good and were able to order drinks from the cocktail menu. The food started coming out but 2/4 ppl at our table didn't eat beef/pork and again we didn't realize there was a 2nd special menu for another person at the other table so that table got foods different from ours and we had to order additional chicken and rice. Pretty much wasted 1/2 of the dishes of food on our table. The basil wings were good but the rice wasn't good - very bland. The bill came to almost $3k and split 16 ways (after the event) $180 for 5 wings, bland rice & 2 cocktails definitely left a bad taste for me. I get this was the terms of attending the event and may be more so on the host not communicating how it works prior but for $3k definitely could have been better. After we ate we were told they have a speaker hook-up for music, people were already leaving. We did have a great time but definitely should have had music going upon arrival. Super tiny parking lot but plenty of street parking. They have a really cute patio and the main restaurant is cute!

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.

Honestly, haven't had a bad dish! Make sure you specify the spice level you want when ordering. We typically order for pickup, but have eaten in the restaurant a couple times. Service and atmosphere are fine. But pickup is super convenient for a yummy meal at home and prices are very reasonable. Portion sizes are enough for leftovers the next day. One of my local favorites and will definitely keep coming back.

PAD THAI GOAT! I…read moreprefer the chicken pad Thai and I wanted to try the beef so I tried the beef patty today. It is a little on the dryer side versus the chicken patty however, the beef was very good for an Asian restaurant. I got the fried bananas with the coconut ice cream and chocolate drizzle and it was dynamite. This is a must get. I wanted to get the mango sticky rice, but they ran out of mangoes.
