Soi21 Asian Bistro & Bar

This place is very good! I just wish it was closer. Being in Shakopee, I'll get to come here on special occasions. The food here was absolutely delightful. We had the100k baht wings, pad kapow, hot honey cream cheese wontons, and the moo krob crispy pork belly. I enjoyed all of it, especially the wontons. Also, don't sleep on the hot sauce dip that comes with the wings, I spooned that on everything. Service was also very good, my water never emptied, and the food came out very quickly. The space is nice, good parking in a strip mall, and lots of light. I really like that the kitchen is kind of open prep that you can see as well.

Tried out that new Asian spot in Shakopee tonight that everyone's been raving about! I went with the egg rolls, tempura-battered chicken wings, and their Tom Yum (medium spice). Overall, everything was solid--nothing to call home about, but not bad either. The wings had a nice flavor (hard to mess those up), but they were definitely smaller than what their website shows--same with the egg rolls. The Tom Yum was a bit different from what I'm used to; it lacked that bold sour kick and could've used more seasoning. The spice level was just right, though, and I liked all the veggies they threw in. One surprise--I ordered chicken but ended up with tofu. Stopped in to pick up my order, and the ambiance was nice--cute and cozy. I'd come back, but next time I'll try something different, maybe the Hmong sausage or papaya salad. Definitely don't let my review deter you--they just opened, so there's plenty of room for improvement!

My wife and I decided to try a new Asian restaurant that had only been open for a couple of months, and we were excited to give it a shot. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by Stephanie, who let us know she'd be our server. She promptly seated us, and we ordered drinks--my wife chose water, while I opted for the berry fusion lemonade, which was absolutely delicious. For our appetizer, we tried the 100k Baht Chicken Wings, served with Hmong pepper. They were flavorful and perfectly seasoned. For our entrées, my wife ordered the signature Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp along with the Khao Pad dish. I chose the Red Curry with chicken and shrimp. One standout feature of this restaurant is the ability to customize your spice level, which was perfect since my wife and I both love spicy food. The red curry was a highlight for me--the consistency was unique, and both the shrimp and chicken were incredibly flavorful. My wife enjoyed the Pad Thai but mentioned that the Khao Pad wasn't flavorful at all, which was a bit disappointing. Beyond the food, the service Stephanie provided was exceptional, and we appreciated how attentive and friendly she was. The restaurant itself was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-maintained. Parking was also easy, which was a bonus. We absolutely loved the experience--the food, the drinks (especially that lemonade!), and the atmosphere. The only reason for the 4-star review is because of the lack of flavor in the Khao Pad. However, we will definitely be returning!

Because I love hot & sour soup I decided to try the Tom Yum Soup, medium spice. It may not have the rich appearance of its hot & sour cousin, but it brings the heat and pack a lot of flavor. There are a lot of veggies and I'm glad I added tofu to protein it up. Tom Yum is yum yum. Note that the Scarlet Red Curry does not come with rice, you have to order it as a side. I got the curry, medium heat, with chicken and it was fabulous. One of my favorite curries now. The broth is rich and dripping with flavor and medium heat was just enough to prickle my scalp with sweat. The portion was a nice size and overall it packed a punch.

I ordered the vegetarian Pad Thai and it was phenomenal! The vegetables were super fresh and the dish was well flavored. I always ask for my Pad Thai spicy and it usually never is, but this place delivered! Great kick of heat. Will definitely become my go-to Thai restaurant in the South Metro!

Amazing food, best pad kapow I have had in the twin cities area. The staff was very friendly and open and airy environment. I would go back when I am in the area again for sure!

You will have to try this place. I have told everyone else and now I am telling you. Great ambiance, the service was wonderful, drinks were good and food was good. They just opened so you can get in without a huge wait. Had the red curray with chicken and added a side of jasmine rice he loved it. I had the Pad See Ew with chicken it was good, I would do it with steak next time. I like how things are customizable and they don't make you feel bad for asking questions. We will be back for sure.

We met friends here who said they love this place. I got a pineapple/passion fruit cocktail that was delicious. My friend ordered a lemongrass Moscow mule that was really good too. The cucumber salad was great - I like that they ask the heat level. We ordered medium spice and it had a good kick.I was so excited to try the curry and it was Amazing!! I just want to swim in that bowl. I like spice so I ordered mine medium-hot and it had a good amount of heat but I could have probably gone hot.We shared some ice cream with pineapple and coconut for dessert and that was really good too! Can't wait to go back for more curry!

We tried Soi21 and were very happy with it. The staff was very kind and helpful. The food was great and affordable. We will definitely be back.

Thai influenced restaurant. I learned that the owners are Hmong! Super excited to have a unique restaurant in the area. I tried the Beef Pho (protein options are beef, chicken, shrimp and tofu). The broth was a bit darker than expected but tasty. It was a bit salty for me. I also tried the Hmong sausage with sticky rice. The sticky rice comes in a cute bamboo container with dipping sauce. The sausage and rice were great. Disappointed in the dipping sauce. It wasn't spicy enough, was a bit watered down. I also ordered the Hmong pepper side dish. The Hmong pepper was tasty but I was expecting something more robust. I'm really excited to have this option in the area. The drink menu looked great. Will have to go back and give that a try.
