Mai Thai Restaurant

Before I begin:1. Be careful when you are looking at reviews or websites because there a several restaurants with the name Mai Thai. This is the one in Robbinsdale, off of Bottineau Blvd.2. The address is on Lakeland Avenue, which really is a frontage road on the west side of Bottineau Blvd. It's one of those "you can't get there from here." The secret is to take 39th St (East) off Broadway, and make a right turn, OR follow France (east) at the point where France and Broadway meet. Use Google maps. It's not difficult, just weird.3. I looked at all of the bad reviews (1 star and 2 star) for this restaurant and they are all very old. I had been to this restaurant over 10 years ago and was not very impressed. However, they must have changed ownership because now its an excellent Asian/Thai restaurant and very much worth a try. I have been there twice in the last few weeks.The Pork Egg Rolls are probably the best I've ever had, including the ones at Rainbow Chinese Restaurant. Order them for sure. The Chicken or Pork Pad Thai, as well as the Drunken Noodles (Stir fry wide noodles, egg, bell pepper, mushroom, tomato, onion and basil) are fantastic. The surprise Killer dish is the Pineapple Fried Rice (Egg, pineapple, peas, onions, cashew nuts, and raisins) which is absolutely, amazingly good, and now is literally my favorite Twin Cities fried rice. It is a very large order and can easily feed 2 to 3 people.The chicken sate was OK, but seemed a bit dry. The Crispy Pot Stickers lost their crispness on their way home, but probably would be much better in the restaurant.The service is very friendly and they fill take out orders very quickly. The restaurant itself is fairly large, but has the (lack of) charm of must Asian restaurants -- pretty utilitarian.I am very happy to see that Mai Thai has improved so much and encourage you to look at more recent reviews (post Covid).

I live near this restaurant and have eaten their food multiple times, but today, I had chicken 'jerky' instead of chicken satay. And the lunch 'special' peanut noodle sauce was terrible.I called to let them know how terrible the food was. The woman who answered couldn't have cared less. I asked for the manager, and they refused to tell me who the manager was.I'll never eat there again. And I am dedicated to writing this review in as many places as I can find.

Ordered for delivery at work since I wanted something tasty to drink as well as eat. Found them on my Happy Cow (vegan) app and had a pretty good experience. The jasmine tea was so good! Extremely sweet and refreshing. I did order the fried spring rolls but am not sure if they were actually vegan or not, I wonder if they use fish sauce (I forgot to specify vegan only). I also got mango sticky rice and that was good. I ordered the vegetable stir fry and it was just OK, tofu was good in it just not much flavor and a lot of peppers which aren't me favorite. I would love to order again but all their curries have a spicy pepper next to it so I'm afraid of it being too spicy for me.

Did pickup order for pineapple fried rice with chicken and fresh spring rolls with chicken. Spice level was a 3 out of 5. Good spice. Good balance of flavors. The spring rolls were very fresh and wonderful. The spring rolls were huge and probably could've just had them for dinner. Quick service. Not sure why when I drive by that the parking lot is not full but great food!

Don't judge the book by its cover. More like don't judge how good this Thai joint by the look of the building. The building looks like an old diner. When you get in, it feels like you are going to eat diner's food. But the food, I just say this place offers great Thai food. The menu might not have a long list of options to choose but what they offer has all it takes to be considered a good Thai food. Will order food from this place again.

Mai goodness, these stir fries were good! You've gotta Thai them... haha I had to!My buddies and I had the Thai Basil Stir Fry, Cashew Stir Fry, and Pad ThaiThis place was pretty darn good. Very nice owner and open atmosphere. They have a statue of some of the Peanuts characters near the front which is fun!I loved the mushrooms in the first dish, and the chicken was fried lightly but flavorfully. The next one had the cashews as the highlight, with sautéed chicken, which was also tasty. The final one was our least favorite. The noodles were just a bit too thin for Pad Thai; I prefer thicker and wider noodles. But the peanut flavor and sauce were awesome, I'd buy a bottle of that stuff. Good for family or a group of friends, the fresh food from Mai Thai is sure to satisfy

Just called to place an order for wings and jalapenos wontons.... I guess my order wasnt high enough, so I was advised of $15 minimum on credit card purchases. I asked how much my order was = $12.58. I unfortunately only had a credit card on me... so I was forced to cancel the order. What the heck?! I just wanna eat tasty jalapenos wontons and chicken.... Kind of a turn off... but I get it. I'm not ordering double food orders or stopping at the atm either. I got an immediate call back, same chick (different girl then who assisted me the first time) and was advised that she just remembered that debit cards were ok, just not credit cards.Nice to know, but No Buenos.

Worst experience! today's chicken satay was as hard as boot leather, the lunch special was no special I can tell you! the peanut noodles was a jar of penut butter with noodles, yuck. I called the restaurant and told the server about the disappointment and she couldn't care less! she didn't do anything about it and didn't know the managers name. my family have eaten here a lot and won't go back now! Gross lack of customer appreciation, repeat business and responsibility. Place should be shut down. What the heck are Snoopy characters as tall as a teenager doing in a Thai joint anyway?

A friend and I had lunch there today. The food was absolutely wonderful. We stuck to appetizers because we weren't super hungry. We had the fresh spring rolls, the pork egg rolls, and the chicken satay. Everything was absolutely delicious. Delicious. The egg rolls were not greasy. Super yummy. The fresh spring rolls were wonderful. Chicken satay was so good as well. We didn't have anything we didn't like. Also, the service was really nice. The young lady who waited on us recommended the Jasmine tea which was absolutely delicious. All in all a fabulous experience and we will definitely be back. This will be my new go-to for egg rolls and spring rolls for sure. Can't wait to try some other things that they have on their menu.

Food was delicious! I wish they had more options but it definitely is really good. Their food tastes very authentic.
