This restaurant was beautiful! Our server was lovely and checked on us often for refills and to see how we were doing. This is a very special and ornate Thai food place it is a 10/10 experience with ambient music that we loved. Of course, the food was delicious and served so quickly, we got fried rice with decoratively cut cucumbers and green onions in less than five minutes. Loved it, and we suggest the lemonade! So good.
Gotta say I am impressed. I just ordered delivery(currently eating and felt the need to review). Their food still came hot. I could smell the soft shell crab dish from the bag, which was a great sign. Their beef jerky was nice and tender. And then lastly, the papaya salad was actually really great! I didn’t expect it. I usually have good flavored papaya where it’s drenched in sauce, which is good. But this was a nice, smooth, mild but still flavorful sauce which was just excellent! Thank you.
I’m pretty sure that their fresh spring rolls are the best in Minnesota. They are lovely! The satay is excellent as well. We went for happy hour and had decent wine for $3. I am certainly going back for dinner!
Normally I only do positive reviews, but I think this would be helpful for both the restaurant and patrons. They asked for spiciness level 1 to 5 and we said 1. A restaurant should know that some people just don't want heat. If you ask for the lowest possible heat, you should be conservative and not add anything to make it hot. Be warned- both dishes we ordered with level 1 heat packed a punch.
Kartathai is a cozy little thai restaurant nestled in along Como Ave amongst Mainstays, so it had some competition. Fortunately, the food is unique and well-prepared, placing a high-potential stake in the local economy. I had the drunken noodles, which was slightly drier than I am used to, but the texture of the noodles was perfect and the flavors we're rich. I greatly enjoyed my dish, and those who ordered the curry in my party were very impressed and claimed it to be the best they had tried in the area.
Overall, I would recommend Kartathai for a decent Thai dish in a snug neighborhood.
I love this place. If you work on the university's St. Paul campus you're always a little desperate for food options, so I was happy to see this place open and it has really impressed, I now stop by almost once a week.
I really appreciate their lunch menu, they have a couple of dishes (including fried rice, pad thai, green/red curry, etc.) for $8 which most days comes with a side salad. The food comes out quickly and is really delicious.
Extremely friendly and welcoming service. Relax and enjoy the marvelous and delicious food at this small but busy restaurant. The pad thai is right on par as are the excellent appetizers, fabulous soups and sweet desserts. A very nice neighborhood favorite, albeit a bit loud when crowded.
Pineapple Curry is in a Pineapple Too! So delicious!
