Bangkok Thai Deli

Everything was really tasty. The sticky rice was a good consistency and the sausages were perfect. Every dish I ordered was a hit. The papaya salad had a perfect amount of spice and was fresh. I have no complaints and will be back.

Amazing food. It’s worth going out of your way to eat here. Their noodles are amazing so I definitely advise ordering some. For appetizers, my favorite is the chicken satay. So good with the peanut sauce!! My favorite item on the menu is the pad see ew. Very nice spicy with some sticky rice! Good for sit down or takeout but if you do takeout, make sure to check each item. I’ve had them forget items I was charged for a couple times.

Amazing food, terrible service, come here once a month at least This place is literally Thailand on University Avenue. The food is super authentic as is the experience. My family and I go here at least once a month due to the quality of the food, it is outstanding. They are also really good at spicing food correctly, mild really is mild and spicy spicy is Bangkok spicy. The wait staff is just there to take your order and you usually have to flag them down and deliver your food, that is it. If you want more water, flag someone down. Need a to go container? Go get it yourself, this isn't Red Cow. Vegetarian options: Available Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs Parking: Parking lot and street parking available.

I've eaten here a number of times. So far I've enjoyed what I've ordered. One of my favorites is the stuffed chicken wing appetizer. I've also tried their squid, imitation crab, shrimp, and fish ball and noodle soup. I found it delicious. The pea tip stir fry is nice too. I also liked the mild flavor of the mung bean sweet bread.

The food is ALWAYS good here. The service is typically attentive and has a sort of communal-based workload. I have found that you may have to flag someone down for something if you need it. There was no knife with my utensils. I used the sharp edge of my spoon after the busser didn’t bring one out for me. Giant cabbage slices became handheld instead, not a real issue, but it would have been nice to practice dining etiquette. Usually the condiments at the table are grimy and need to be wiped down. My favorites are the Larb number 93 with glass noodle or without. The glass noodle was served with huge shrimp, very good. I’m questioning the cook who put wilted read: old mint leaves in a dish that’s known for the herbs that go into the dish, especially because it is summer. I picked those out which was most of them. Recommendation for spice level: it’s hot here, and it’s not a joke, so don’t go crazy ordering hot if you’re not interested in your nose dripping from the spice. This is an authentic family restaurant with great culture and fabulous food in a former Burger King that is popular with the asian community. Love it.

Maybe I have ordered the wrong items, or maybe the spice level that I have chosen was too low, but I was not impressed by the food quality here. Overall I thought the food was not bad at all, but a lot of times it was bland. I understand that me ordering the lowest level of spiciness doesn't help, but good food shouldn't need spiciness as its only or even dominant seasoning, as that would defeat the purpose of enhancing the food's own flavor profile. I have been here twice, once for dine in and once for takeout. The time for dining in, we got crab fried rice, pad thai, thick curry, stuffed chicken wing, and the red curry. The red curry was the best among them all, as it had the most flavor. I ordered those items because I have gotten these exact same items from other Thai restaurants and unfortunately this place falls relatively short. The second time, we got Thai fried rice, Chinese broccoli fried rice, crab fried rice, and pad-see-ew, for a celebration event. The pad-see-ew was very good. But the three types of rice genuinely tasted very similar, so similar to the point that I could not tell them apart if it was not because of the main differing ingredient Chinese broccoli, crab meat, etc.. I don't feel disappointed by the place, and I am open to returning, but Bangkok Thai Deli is most likely not my first choice if I recommend Thai food in the Twin Cities. However, I do want to acknowledge that they have strengths as well. They are very affordable, and seem very popular with the local Frogtown community, which is a huge plus for me. They have a large menu with lots of pictures that aid people with choices. They also seem to be very receptive to feedback, according to Google reviews, so I sincerely hope this business will continue to succeed and prosper assuming it is right now!

Best Tomyam Soup in town! I’m always disappointed in trying all the other Asian cuisine in Minnesota. This creamy Tomyam soup is definitely the BEST one I ever had since I moved here from Southeast Asia! We ordered the Tom Yam Seafood soup and green curry with chicken. Both comes with rice!Recommended dishesCreamy Tom-Yum Soup

If you are craving southeast Asian food, I definitely recommend this restaurant. There is a super wide selection of things to choose from. I am burmese and there are not too many restaurants that can re-create a similar taste. This is a Thai restaurant so the food is not exactly the same as Burmese food, but if I’m too lazy to cook, and I’m craving some home cooking it’s a good alternative. I will say that the customer service level does vary. Sometimes you get a really accommodating staff person or a person that is really nice and sometimes you could get someone that is rude. I am also half black, so I am very hyper vigilant in these types of spaces, but I would say in general, there is a very diverse set of people that dine here.

it might not be the fanciest location but that isn’t why you are coming here. you are coming here for a huge menu filled with delicious thai dishes. i definitely recommend the thai papaya salad with plenty of spice. the portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. service is friendly and fast. one of the best thai spots in the metro!

Good food and authentic. The problem is that they have alot of different item on their menu so its hard to pick what to eat. We tend to get the same things.
