Amazing Thai + Best Asian Food in Rochester Minnesota…read more 1000/100 If you're looking for the tastiest Thai food in Rochester, Mango Thai is hands-down one of the best places in town to eat. The menu has something for everyone classic dishes like Pad Thai, spicy beef basil beef fried rice, rich curries, fresh mango spring rolls, and even appetizers like Chicken Satay and beef Jerky are my favorite. The spice level is totally customizable, so you get the perfect heat for your taste. Service here is attentive and friendly, and they even offer thoughtful touches like warm towels for your hands to start your meal. Many reviews highlight the quality of the food and the great vegetarian/vegan options, making it a top choice for lunch or dinner downtown. Parking is easy with several lots and ramps conveniently located at Broadway. Sea bass Curry is a must try!!!

The restaurant is small with only a handful of tables but they seated us without issue despite how busy it was! There's also patio seating out front if you don't mind the street noise. We enjoyed the mango spring rolls and edamame for appetizers. The various curries were so tasty, as was the noodles. I dont recall the names of the dishes but everything was delicious! The fried banana dessert was perfect to split 4 ways. The mango mojito was SO GOOD!! Will be back again- Mango Thai is a hidden gem!

As you would expect, if they bring out a steaming fresh item right in front of you, it will probably taste better than something sitting in the tray for an hour or more. I have had some solid 3.5 star experiences here and other times I have left without eating much of my food. Here are a couple cons I've noted based off multiple visits: -General tso chicken quality is pretty marginal. -Several food trays have been empty, even right at noon (their busiest time), leaving you with less options to choose from - although you can wait for more to be made. -Fried rice has been overcooked multiple times. -Some items have been in warming tray so long that they get almost a rubbery texture, almost like they have been reheated multiple times (pad Thai noodles for example) Some pros: +Staff is awesome. They are very friendly and keep the line moving fast. +Crab rangoons and fusion wings taste good. Their appetizers in general are good. +If you can get something freshly made, you will probably have a favorable experience here.

A few weeks ago, I was shopping in the southern part of Rochester. Kohl's and Five Below are my…read moreusual places. As I parked to visit the latter, I noticed New China. It intrigued me. Having Chinese food in Rochester is still foreign to me. I didn't order any when I was a resident. It's funny how I now have an interest returning as a visitor. I looked at the reviews and they were decent on Yelp. I decided to check out their online menu. One thing led to another. I ended up placing an order for pickup on New China's site. You don't pay through it, but you are prompted to create an account and specify your phone number. You order takes roughly 25 minutes to complete, which was more than enough time for me to shop at Five Below before picking up my order. Their food caters to both Americans who may feel intimidated by Chinese food and, surprisingly, to Chinese folks who want authentic food. My pain point was seeing cream cheese rangoons (wontons) on the menu. First, I can't see my ancestors taking out a rectangle of Philadelphia cream cheese to replace the traditional pork filling in wontons. Second, I find it gross seeing them on a Chinese eatery menu that I will not touch them if they were the last food item available on this planet. My rant is over. The menu item that gave me a glimmer of hope for some authentic Chinese cuisine was the shrimp with lobster sauce. I went for it. I drove over to the eatery after I was done shopping and parked steps away from it. The restaurant is next to a radio station blasting country music. There are stairs and a ramp for those who require accessibility help. You can dine in. I saw a couple eating when I walked in. Dining spaces looked limited. I was immediately greeted by a woman. There were four women in the kitchen literally cooking up a storm. I said my name and she found my order that was already packed. I asked if this place accepted credit cards. Yep, every credit card imaginable is accepted here. I paid and all was great. She handed me my food. I thanked her. She wasn't the friendliest. Come to think of it, they were probably more focused on cooking the food than being friendly. They were highly efficient, though. I drove an hour back to Eagan. My food was still hot when I got back to my hotel room. I was impressed. I got the following items: - Steamed dumplings with garlic soy sauce - Shrimp with lobster sauce on roasted pork fried rice - House special lo mein with roasted pork fried rice Each meal came with an egg roll. Everything was packed carefully. The egg rolls were yummy. They were crispy and packed full of filling. They were perfect. The steamed dumplings were authentic and delicious. They didn't have any fancy crimping. Each filling was packed full of flavourful pork filling. The garlic soy sauce worked well. I had roughly half of the two meals for dinner. Perhaps less than half because I ate all the dumplings. The shrimp with lobster sauce was so comforting. It reminded me of a Hong Kong-style dish where you know there's fried rice, but you can't see it because it's drenched in flavourful lobster sauce. The shrimp were perfectly done. I love barbequed pork in fried rice and it was fabulous. I liked the cubed carrots and pork, peas, onions, and more. I would get this dish again. It was delicious. The house lo mein was a winner. It had chicken, shrimp, barbequed pork, and veggies. The noodles were true lo mein ones. It was different having the lo mein paired with fried rice, but I didn't mind. It was such a carb-heavy, yummy meal. I had leftovers for lunch the following day. It was perfect staying in my hotel room working remotely and not having to think about what to get for lunch. The leftovers were equally as yummy a day later. It was a pleasant surprise taking a chance on New China and discovering that it offers authentic Chinese food. Just avoid the cream cheese appetizers. I'd return for more when I'm back in my old neighbourhood. (26)
