The thai restaurants we send people to in St. Paul (other neighborhoods). Part of our full thai guide and the St. Paul neighborhood guide.
A Frogtown stalwart on University Avenue with one of the deepest Thai menus in the metro. The boat noodle is the move, the khao soi runs a close second, and the regional dishes most places skip are cooked here without explanation. Cash-and-counter feel, lines at noon, worth them.
A casual sit-down spot two doors from Bangkok Thai Deli, offering a quieter room and a friendlier-paced version of the same University Avenue Thai energy. Pad Thai, drunken noodles, basil chicken, all done with care.
A University Avenue room running both Thai and Vietnamese, with weekday lunch specials that are some of the cheapest sit-down plates on the corridor. Closed Wednesdays. The kind of unfussy neighborhood spot that the office crowd keeps in heavy rotation.
A University Avenue storefront a few blocks down from Bangkok Thai Deli, doing the standards in a quiet room with a loyal following. Closed Mondays. Dependable curries and noodle plates, the kind of place that rewards the regulars who skip the bigger names nearby.
