Contribute Feedback What Aaron Godin likes about Coconut Thai On Grand:
Coconut Thai and Nong's in Golden Valley are among the best and most consistent restaurants in the Twin Cities. Cannot recommend them enough for quality food with tons of flavor, fresh ingredients. I hope to be eating here still in 50 years. View all feedback.
What Donna Edwards doesn't like about Coconut Thai On Grand:
Would have liked less oil, more vegetables in the dishes ordered, and the option of more spice. First time there. Liked enough to try again. The noodles in Drunken Noodles had great 'chew '.and may have been made in house!!Vegetarian options: Vegan options were scarce. Massaman Curry and Drunken Noodles were tasty. See above for more details. Eggs could be left out of those. But most options had fish sauce. View all feedback.
Food is fine but not set apart from other local restaurants serving Thai cuisine. I was excited about this place given the renown and was looking forward to complex flavors and masterful preparations of classic Thai dishes I didn't get that. It was pretty average and for each dish we tried, I can think of another place of equal or lesser price that does it better.Spring roll was mostly lettuce with a few meat crumbles and one shrimp, rice paper was fragile, likely from being over soaked, many dishes had excessive amounts of filler vegetables like bell peppers and cabbage but far overpriced at $13 25, and the tofu was unseasoned and leathery at the edges.They seem to be understaffed for servers as only one person was waiting tables during peak dinner hour and the wait times were excessive between every visit to our table.Last complaint is the lighting. There seem to be two different types of overhead lights and the bright, harsh effort lights around the periphery of the room made the tables along the wall pretty unpleasant to sit in for long.Unfortunately I can't say I'll be back here. With the abundance of Thai food here in St. Paul, competition is high and they didn't make the cut in my book.
Delicious! We had the spring rolls (prepared gluten-free), Pad Thai, and the Sweet Sour Stir Fry. Servings were plentiful. We were a party of 4 and shared the 2 dishes.
Their food is delicious! I always used to dine in with different friends but I ordered in and the prices were a couple dollars more for less food. I am completely disappointed. I pay more for less. I would always leave with extras but just being home I got less meat especially for paying extra. Me and my husband shared a dish and I had two pieces of meat while he got one. So sad! When normally the dish would satisfy us the next day.
Great flavors on everything and well seasoned. The Chicken Satay, Sweet and Sour Stir Fry, and the Pineapple fried rice were my favorites. Decent portion sizes and normal pricing. There is a parking lot around the back through the alley if you can't grab street parking.Excited to come back and try more items.Vegetarian options: Can do dishes without meat.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp going up the front and from the back parking lot.
