Thai Garden Fusion

Husband and I came here before going to a show. We started with the spring rolls which were good, not spectacular, but tasted good. For dinner I ordered the Pad Akra Pao with pork and it was excellent. Had a very good flavor, some of the best bell peppers I have had at a restaurant in quite a long time. My husband had the Jungle House Curry. He liked all of it other than the leaves (lime leaves?).I would certainly eat here again.

Very tasty food, as always. Ordered takeout, and the food was just as good at home. We'll be back!

Our take out order: beef jerky with side of sticky rice, massaman curry with chicken, drunken noodles with beef, and basil chicken stir fry. The food was good overall. I thought the massaman curry was the highlight of the meal. Didn't love the peanuts in it, would order without next time. My husband thought the basil stir fry stole the show. The flavor profile was new and exciting. Feel like you can never go wrong with drunken noodles.... But we ordered the beef, but it was chicken. Didn't want to make a fuss so close to when the shop closed and already made it home, so ate the chicken. I requested medium heat for all dishes, and didn't seem to come with much of a kick, but they did send a lot of chili oil sides. The chili oil was not great and ended up using our own. The beef jerky was really crispy and crunchy - more than I like. I like it to be a bit softer and chewier. The side of sticky rice was half mushy and we had to eat around it, we did order a second side of sticky rice, so thankfully we didn't run out.

Ate here for the first time yesterday and the drunken noodles were delicious! I ordered this dish with fried tofu, which was perfectly crispy. My friend said her yellow curry was good. The owner was very kind and gave us complimentary Jasmine tea which we really appreciated. I don't think they serve alcohol. This isn't a fancy place, the ambience is just so so, but I'm ok with that considering the affordable prices. This is a great place to go for takeout or if you're going to Theater in the Round which is next door. I would eat here again and try something different.

Great savory Thai food - a solid 4 stars!I had a good first visit to Flamin Thai. I grabbed some spring rolls, a coconut milk & peanut curry dinner, and fried ice cream (with green tea ice cream). Every bite was excellent.The customer service was awesome. And the prices were surprisingly reasonable.Unfortunately, Flamin Thai no longer offers sushi because wholesale prices are too high and customers near the U of M (many are students) weren't buying any of it. Bummer.I lived on the west bank for several years back in the 80s. I have many fond memories of the West Bank. But I was pretty bummed out after I left. The manager gave me an earful about food prices and worse, the general degradation, the state of disrepair, and crime on the West Bank. The obvious things you see are lots of store fronts that are boarded up with graffiti all over the place. Sad.In addition to the high food prices and the general state of disrepair, there's a big crime problem on the West Bank...lots of stolen cars, stolen purses, robberies, etc. He said there was a car stolen in front of their building last week, while they ran in to grab some food to-go. And last week a woman on the patio had her purse stolen. Wow!As a result of all these problems, Flamin Thai is moving. When their lease is up they plan to relocate to NE, close to Surdyke's Liquors.I wish them good luck and success in the future.Thanks for a great visit, Flamin Thai!-MaxxP.S. One demerite for charging me an automatic credit card fee even though I paid with cash!

I dine out in restaurants 5 days a week due to my work. Like any frequent diner, I have had my ups and downs. This week at Flamin' Thai was nothing but up... It was a stratospheric experience. Chef JR put out creation after creation of some of the most stunning sushi and sashimi of my young life. (It was my 62nd birthday celebration, so I get to say young...) Our bartender Kelly was so very friendly and so very accommodating, she made it feel like Flamin' Thai was our place for the night. Thank you everyone at Flamin' Thai for a fantastic birthday!

Perfectly spiced and authentic sauces, we'll be back. Parking is sparse but by the west bank Green line station. We came after attending the theater in the round performance. Perfect time and place for pre dinner and after performance . Recommended.

Hidden gem! We were staying at the Minneapolis Courtyard. Just going off their list of nearby dining we saw Thai Garden Fusion. It was a very short walk. It's small and unassuming. But the owner/chef seated us and was very congenial. We ordered a number of dishes to share. Although he was working the kitchen alone, our food was delivered quickly and hot. The sweet green curry was the best ever. We thoroughly enjoyed the friendly casual atmosphere and the delicious food.

Beware! A 3 at this place is incredibly hot. I usually order a 3 regardless of whether the restaurant uses a 3-point or 4-point scale. I should've listened when the server told me that a 3 is hot for her. My papaya salad was barely edible. Like, hurt-your-stomach spicy. I could only eat a few bites, and then took the rest home and diluted it with an entire mango. Only then could I eat it.

All of the staff were really friendly and attentive. They were very pleasant. I ordered takeout, so can't say much about the ambience.The food was only OK. The garden rolls had a lot of lettuce and were not very herbaceous. The samosas were OK but it seemed strange that they were there at all. The Pad Thai was OK. if there were peanuts, then I missed them. It didn't seem like there were any veggies or bean sprouts in there. I asked for extra tofu, but it seems like quite the amount that I received. Finally, there was egg in the pad Thai. I don't know who told them to do that, I've never had egg in a pad Thai before. The food wasn't bad. But I would not recommend this place if you have an affinity for Thai restaurants.
