Don't order the sweet and sour dish - it's sickeningly sweet. Mt husband says I should have known better tan to order that - but it was so bad I couldn't eat it. His food was reportedly better. I would go back, but next time I'd order something spicy.
Been going here about every other week for a couple months now and have been enjoying it. The curries are delicious (especially after 11a when the better-curry-cook comes in). Look to the Pra Ram Rong Sung with tofu and the Red Curry with mock duck for delight. The noodles are not so good. Don't bother with them.
I used to go there when it was the White Lily all the time for the Spicy Curried Mock Duck with vegetables. I went there for the first time a couple of months ago with family and ordered the same thing. It was good. The dish had a lot of flavor but the the amount of mock duck and vegetables in it was low, instead it had a abnormal amount of sauce in it and I ended up asking for more rice because I wanted to soak up the sauce with it. The service was o.k. but could have been better. They were really busy for the amount of wait staff they had on hand. It was hard to communicate with the waitress because she didn't speak English very well. It wasn't as spicy as I like it so I asked for some hot pepper sauce. I make a fantastic spicy mock duck at home myself so I'm a little critical of their version and know how much better the one I make is. I'm also critical of service because I've been a waitress. It was o.k but could be improved.
This is a very disappointing Thai restaurant. There are much better choices in the Twin Cities. The food is bland, the service is medicore. It's not terrible, it just can't compete with the really good thai restaurants.
confused by low ratings. this is my favorite thai in the twin cities.i feel most Thai restaurants here get so much hype for average overpriced food. pra ram rong song is E2 on the menu, my boyfriend loves this dish. the spicy noodle dish is my favorite. i bring lots of people here and i haven't had a bad time ever. i usually just try to avoid the dinner rush or do take out if its around 630 to 730. granted the restaurant is not overstaffed but peace out your just there for dinner. relax. also the restaurant is really pretty.
