"One of the top 50 restaurant in the Twin Cities" The crispy catfish salad and the laab... the best I have eaten on either side of the Pacific Ocean.--Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine

True Thai offers authentic Thai dishes filled with flavor and spiced according to your taste and preference. They feature food such as satay, curries, salads and noodle dishes like the classic pad thai. They are one block off of I-94 (Riverside Exit) on the Southwest corner of 27th and Franklin Avenues. They are close to both downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, the University of Minnesota, and is easily accessible to the entire metropolitan area.

Editorial Review for True Thai – by Molly Priesmeyer

In Short
This family-owned restaurant is always updating its menu to include unique spins on classic Thai dishes. But what always stays the same is the great taste, service and impeccable attention to detail, from the restaurant's serene décor to close attention to every customer's needs. The basil is always fresh, the vegetables always freshly crisp and the signature dishes, featuring salmon and catfish, are addictive. If you like your food spicy, "medium" is just enough to make your taste buds sing.

Insider Tips

Save Time

Take-out here is always fast and easy, often available in what the owners promise is under 10 minutes.

Parking

Parking is easy and free along Franklin and side streets.

The Extras

The once-small and raved-about restaurant went through a major expansion in late 2008, adding booths, tables for large parties and additional tabletop seating for one or more. This means the wait is shorter and large parties and families, always a mainstay at True Thai, get in easier, too.

User Reviews for True Thai

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've been all over the Twin Cities and nothing has compared to this. The Green Curry and Cream Puffs where incredible. Can't wait to go back.

Pros: Great Food

Cons: May have to wait some time for a table.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I live in the neighborhood where this restaurant is. One night I went to get some take out to bring home. To my surprise, the man behind the cash register jumped to the door, locked it right before my eyes and told me the restaurant was closed. This was a full 15 minutes before the closing time as stated on their door. Now, I am not one to cry "racism" every time something doesn't go my way, but this was all to obvious. In fact, when I asked the man behind the door why he had locked the door on me, his reply was "we have been robbed one too many times." Did I forget to mention that I am a 30-something dark-skinned Latino man? They will not see me there again... that's for sure.
