I have now been to the Thai Garden a half dozen times and they never fail to impress. I've had several different entrees and they were all tasty and well seasoned. My friend who is vegetarian, has also enjoyed all of his dishes.I was in the mood for Pad Thai and their version was great. Very well balanced.There are only a few parking spots right next to the restaurant, but there are billions of spots behind the restaurant, so park in the large lotThe interior of the restaurant is small but attractive. The service is wonderful and the owner is also the chef. I would rate the food at Thai Garden near the top of Thai restaurants I've dined in and I don't feel they are as well known as some lesser quality Thai restaurants. Give it a try!

This has been my favorite Thai place in the Twin Cities for years since moving here in 2012. I have never had a meal at this restaurant that was not satisfying and flavorful. Very consistent. I now live in Northeast but still make the trip here even if other places may be closer. The best part of the experience is the management. It's a family run restaurant and you can truly tell that they care about the quality, flavor and service. This is a great place to check out if you support local businesses. Also, they have very reasonable prices and are very punctual with the times they give for take out. They make it easy. Plus, there is free parking in the back, no worries about busy University Ave :)I've been coming here for almost a decade, I really can't recommend it enough. Dish in Picture: Pad Prik Khing w/ Chicken made spicy (however, you can select preferred spice level).

Gluten free Thai food? I'm in. I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally got a chance to try it out. I decided to take it "to go" so I called in my order of gluten free chicken pad Thai. They were courteous on the phone and said the order would be ready in 5-10 mins! That's FAST!Though the area of town can be sketchy at times, they have a huge parking lot in the back of the restaurant which is a must for businesses right on University where street parking isn't available. The people who work there and I presume are owners went above and beyond with their hospitality when I showed up. Love that. The food was very delicious and fresh even after taking it to go and driving a bit out of the major TC area. I look forward to coming back and trying other gluten free delights!

Pad Khee Mao (Drunken Noodles) - good.One of my dishes had way too many bean spouts, no idea why. They have a cool patio, in an area where almost no one has outdoor seating, let alone a nice big deck.

My family has a tradition of getting Thai or Chinese food someplace new every Christmas Eve. Having never been to Thai Garden before, I didn't know what to expect when my mother decided we'd be grabbing dinner there.Any expectations I did or didn't have were blown out of the water with our experience there. We were the only people in the dining room, but they were backed up with takeout. The owner made sure to let us know that there would be a little wait with the food, and brought us out several appetizers in addition to the ones we ordered during the wait.The food was absolutely delicious as well-- the Thai beef jerky was such a highlight. Really unique blend of flavors, it was such a culinary adventure.Can't wait to return!

After a few years of just doing takeout we returned to the pretty dining room at Thai Garden for dinner tonight. We realized how much we missed this hidden gem. The menu is huge but we love the curries and the egg rolls. Also we tried Thai basil stir fry tonight it was very fresh and tasty. The green peppers were cooked perfectly ( not over cooked). We enjoy when the chef comes out to ask diners how they liked their dinners. Friendly server. Comfortable setting. Parking in back

DE-LI-CIOUS! Went here to get a quick celebratory dinner with my husband and Thai Garden didn't disappoint. We were seated right away and were basically out in roughly 30 min. Everything came quickly and was delicious. we got the Thai style spring rolls (forgot to take a pic), shrimp pad Thai (sweet, sour, salty version), and medium spice chicken yellow curry. We usually get this trifecta when trying a new Thai spot. The spring rolls were decent. I liked the sauce they had. The pad Thai was very yummy and had plenty of noodles and accoutrements. The yellow curry was a standout! We wanted so badly to drink the broth because it was so good. The spice level is true to medium. The service was great! Our server was helpful and quick. Overall would go back. Plus they have free parking in the back!

Visited this place again, and it totally redeemed itself! Had wonderful service, prices are right on, and we thoroughly enjoyed our green curry and red curry! The Tom kha soup is a little bit different here, they don't use the straw mushroom that I am more familiar with, and the broth is thinner, but I will definitely come again! My dining room, and would be a great place to bring a date!

It's hard to find good Thai food in the Twin Cities, but Thai Garden is definitely the best! They are a family run business and the flavor profile is the most authentic I have tried here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. The service is a little slower so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush, but it's because there is only one cook that cooks everything. The portions are very generous and you're able to save some for a meal the next day. Prices are also quite reasonable. I will say that they do run pretty spicy, so if you're not good with spice, stick with mild. I got medium and it was pretty spicy for me but an awesome little spot

Best Thai we've ever had. Great service. Incredible depth of flavor in the Massaman Curry. Pad Thai noodles were perfectly cooked. Excellent place for Thai. We'll be back!
