Roat Osha

Roat Osha is a true culinary gem in Uptown Minneapolis! The innovative menu, cozy ambiance, and attentive service made for an outstanding dining experience. Highly recommend!

I definitely should have stood on not returning here. When we walked in it seemed pretty slow. Only seen 2 men sitting at the bar. We stood at the host stand where they had a sign that said to ring the bell for service. We rang it and someone came from the kitchen right away to seat us. We were sat near the back of the restaurant but a football game was coming on soon (which they have tv's in the bar area) so I asked if we could be moved to the bar area and she handed me the menus and said to sit where ever (she was nice about it). I did notice a few tables had plates on them, as in haven't been cleaned off from the last party that sat there, no one ever came out to clean those tables the entire duration we stayed. As I mentioned earlier there were 2 men at the bar then us in the restaurant as customers. The bartender/waiter came out and served us, he was cool but would disappear to the kitchen for long periods, when we were ready to pay I had to get up and go to the kitchen to let him know we were ready to pay. One of the men sitting at the bar (by garnishes, bottles and glasses) was coughing and wiping/blowing his nose at the bar and placing the dirty tissues on the bar top which was gross. The two men went out side a few times to smoke and the guy would come back in coughing even more aggressively and post pandemic that was concerning. As the waiter was bringing our food he could tell we were grossed out and he stood back as the man was coughing before placing our food. He made a comment to us about the guy coughing but didn't say much to him directly. I've never worked in the food industry so I'm not sure how these situations are handled but I was definitely super uncomfortable and eager to leave. Needless to say not my crowd. We ordered the basil fried rice w/ chicken, jalapeños wontons and a few drinks. Rice portion was still iffy especially for the price. The wontons were just okay. Overall I wasn't too impressed.

It has been a LONG time since I've been here. It used to be my favorite Thai place, but that was before I explored other great places MN has to offer.Honestly, it held up. The flavor's are great. However, I ordered Pad See Yew and Drunken Noodle and I honestly could barely tell them apart. I know they are similar dishes, but a little more variation could help.Lastly, I remember the Fried Rice being really good, and that's primarily what I wanted to review... but they forgot my order and I didn't want to correct the issue (luckily I ordered too much anyways).I'd go back.

Awesome spot for Thai food in the uptown area. We usually have gotten take out. The panang curry and yellow curry are really good. I will have to try dining in next time to fully experience the service and ambience.

Every time I've eaten here at Roat Osha it was AMAZING. much better than Amazing Thailand across Hennepin, it is slightly confusing to find (have to go to the pedestrian mall area on the east side of the building and you will find it) but the search pays off big time. Amazing staff, vibes, and food

A single server was caring for all tables in the dining room (12 at least) and also bartending. Felt so bad for the guy I wanted to pitch in and help him but was in a hurry. Food was okay, my friends buddha's delight was large portion and lots of fresh brightly colored veggies. My papaya salad was meh at best- just a pile of pale grated papaya (short strands like they don't have a mandolin in the kitchen or someone didn't know how to use one). The usually punchy dressing, which brings everything together should be a delicious balance between salty, sour and sweet, but was so bland and flat it was like Wishbone had made it. If you love papaya salad, I'd recommend Bagu (where you can have it Thai or Hmong style- best in town) or Gai Noi for the real deal. Don't think I'll be back.

Have not had a good experience with this place in the two times i've tried ordering from here. The first time, I was gifted a giftcard that the employee never set up properly so I had to go back and forth with the manager to get a second giftcard.Second time around, I called in for a pick up order that they said would be 35 minutes. I arrived 50 minutes after my call only to be told 10 more minutes. There's also a line of people that are complaining about the poor service they have received here as well. The food is ok but this place is so poorly ran that I don't recommend going here.

We had high hopes when this place arrived several years ago to the bldg formerly known as Calhoun Square. After all, we had enjoyed our times at their former location on 25th and Hennepin and their tiny predecessor down the street Tum Rup. Why wouldn't this place be bigger and better than both combined? sadly, just as the old name of the host building is troubling, so is the occupant. We are in the neighborhood so even though it's not a favorite haunt, we would occasionally stop by as some friends go there and location is convenient. But no more. Can't do it anymore. So many negative experiences there, we can barely remember them all or come up with many nice things to say. Well we liked some of the bartenders which they have since fired. Is that positive? Thing is, the place started off average at best and has only gone downhill since surviving the pandemic and all the rioting in the area. Really sad. They've become bitter hangers on instead of triumphant survivors of the unpredictable setbacks. First visit there, I ordered pickup but decided to eat it in house. Well, they provided me with nothing more than the plastic spoon and styrofoam container my soup came in. Real great meal at the bar. Not. But give them a chance to grow into the new location right? Time and time again the food here has been bland and not really worthy of calling Thai. Thai to me at least, means packed with some heat and flavor. Back to the bar, unlike the former tenant of that space, the mighty Chaing Mai Thai, their bar is right in the middle of the dining area. They ripped the walls down for what? so it could be awkward having bar conversations around family diners? Maybe for kiddos to learn some new words from the neighborhood bar flies? Who knows. All I know is nearly every time I walk by that place or regretfully walk inside for a beer, there's literally nobody manning the taps and bottles let alone at the host station. What is even stranger, the owners/de facto bartenders even have a meltdown any time someone leaves due to their lack of servicing to the bar. Like they practically chase down the people asking them to come back. So strange. They just don't get it. Youve got to be around for us to get a round. (See what I did there? Rule one of having any decent bar-- have someone always there. Rule two is have someone always there. The money and time you save by floating around and rarely being there means nothing compared to the bad word of mouth you're getting for being absent. Lots of "never going there again" energy. Speaking again of the bar, even when someone is there to pour another issue is the staleness of the taps. They clearly aren't cleaning their lines, another corner cut in this ramshackle operation. They do have a happy hour which like everything else here is painfully average. Which would be whatever. But they don't even honor their pricing. Our friends and ourselves have noticed the bill being full price no matter the time or promised specials. Interactions I've had with the owner(/bartenders/everything else) have been a mixed bag. She seems nice but distracted always but Vince (?) is almost always just being a total D. (D stands for whatever you want). He will let a patron know he doesn't like them. Weird he doesn't like the people throwing money his way. I don't think being a weirdo hot head is a good trait for running a place. Maybe running a place into the ground. Anyway if you think I am an exaggerating go find out for yourself but bring your own sriracha and an abundance of patience, especially if you enjoy a bar-side view.

Counting down the days until I return to MN so I can come in for dinner!!! Must try items in my opinion. Sriracha Fried Rice (my all time favorite, and a must order every time)Panang Curry with ChickenGrilled Beef Jerky (Appetizer Menu)Delicious offerings from the Happy Hour Menu:Pork fried spring rollsCream Cheese WontonsChicken SatayCalamari Thai dumplings Photos are from the last few visits when I dined in over this past summer. Salivating as I write this post. Must try if you live in the Twin Cities or surrounding area. Or plan a day trip or date night and take a little road trip!!

My favorite thai place in the twin cities. The food is always consistent and Delicious! Went with girlfriend last night and they were busy the owner made us feel at home regardless of how busy it was. He was working behind the bar and making sure the customers were taken care of and content, making the dining experience amazing! Thanks always a good experience!
