Hong Thai Restaurant

We tried this spot a few years ago and visited again recently. We were blown away by the flavors this go around. The Panang with Chicken was creamy, spicy, and absolutely delicious! There were a lot of onions, but they were well cooked and sweet. The Pad Thai with Chicken was flavorful and plentiful. We took the food to-go. The person I worked with was kind and chatty at the front. The food was ready with about 12-15 minutes.

Once a year, I go to this restaurant with my extended family. The service is good with a side of humor, and the food is great! The ambiance (because Yelp is asking) is pretty standard for a strip mall Asian restaurant - it looks fine, but I'm there for the food. :)We ordered Pork Pad Thai, Lab Esan, and the Pad Ped Talay. My sister and I shared the Pad Thai and the Lab Esan. Both were really good! The Lab was like lettuce wrap filling, but we were instructed to eat it with a little ball of rice. It was tasty! We'll be back next year!

I really wanted to love this place. It's smaller and dated which is ok. I was asked to grab a table anywhere and I ordered fresh spring rolls and house pad thai. The egg roll filling tasted like the filling from frozen egg rolls and they were a tad bit overcooked/burnt in certain areas. My pad thai smelled like cigarettes and the first few bites tasted like cigarettes as well. The shrimp in the pad thai was barely warm and obviously cheap frozen shrimp. My water was never refilled once biting my visit. I will probably not return based on this visit.

I usually don't write reviews but my experience stuck out to the point where I feel it's necessary, when I walked in the cashier who I'm assuming is the owner was walking out of the bathroom and asked my name, I told him (first time he should have noticed that he messed up) he then proceeds to help the two ladies who where already waiting at the counter for their food, I'm second in line at this point, while they were waiting for their food another person walks in while he was making small talk with the girls saying that he was "dead most of the day and that he was 100$ behind on tips blamed it being Sunday and football" when he brings out the girls foods he asks me for my name again, I tell him, he then asks the gentleman behind me who just walked in for his name and he goes okay walks into the kitchen in the back, and grabs his food, but not mine. He takes the payment from the guy 5mins and then turns to me and told me that I called the wrong location, I told him no and that I called Rogers location he told me to go look at my phone I ran out in the pouring rain to get my mobile I walked in he tells me to redial I did, and what do you know the phone started to ring, looking at me perplexed he goes you must of talked to my son, he flips threw his orders and ends up finding mine in the finished pile, he goes we must have missed it and asks if I would like to order again?? Sure I say being hungry and not wanting to drive any further he asks me what I want to order I told him again 1 order of sweet and sour chicken, 1 order of sesame chicken, (I asked if both of those comes with white rice and he said yes) and one order of two eggrolls, he then asks for my name a third time, and tells me he will put it in for the kitchen to cook it next, it took the kitchen 35 minutes for this order while in the meantime people are calling and coming n going, while I'm still waiting. Finally when I think I'm about ready to get my food and pay he calls out the wrong name (but whatever I'm there for food not for friends) and brings out the food and tries to take my payment, walking away to help other customers several times when I'm trying to pay I realized that the total is just about double of what I thought, he goes over of what I ordered and it turns out that he thought "one order of two egg rolls" means 4 eggrolls, he gets cranky blaming the Mishap on me and take the eggrolls out of the bag and walks back into the kitchen just to take the two eggrolls out! (Petty but whatever) I was just happy to finally get my order and get out of there considering it's been an hour and a quarter since the first phone call, but when I get home to eat Is what really disappointed us, I order a sweet n sour chicken, and sesame chicken, and 2 egg rolls, we only got one container of white rice. But the box that contained the sesame chicken a 1/3 of full with fried rice, I don't know what I did to piss them off but note taken, will not return. (people who are this confused should not be toting pistols but that's just my opinion) This experience would have been a lot better if 1. Help people in the order that they arrived 2. Don't blame customers for your own misunderstanding 3. Focus on one task at a time.

Best Thai food there is, you will never eat pad Thai anywhere else after here. Egg rolls are also to die for, the place itself is a usual Chinese restaurant hole in the wall, I personally recommend takeout but I now live outside of MN and every time I come back I have to stop here at least once if not twice!

Been getting Thai food from these guys for years. I have visited all 3 locations and I am always pleased with what I get. I miss the Maple Grove location, but regardless I will still continue to patronize here and Albertville. The Carstensen's are a great family.

Some of the best Pad Thai around! We did take out and fortunately it was around a 10m wait for walk in service! Friendly and nice staff.

Hong Thai has the best egg rolls and dipping sauce than any other place we've tried in the Twin Cities. Also a fan of Thai broccoli dish which you can add a protein too. Almost always get takeout because the sit down area of the restaurants are not warm or cozy.

Best Thai food in the Twin Cities hands-down!!Pad Thai , eggrolls, spicy chicken wings, house special fried rice, and their curry's are all must haves

The food was but only amazing, but it was the fastest service I have ever experienced. Small, quaint, family owned business. The spring rolls were on point, as well as the lob. I can't wait to go again.
