What is "real" Thai food? There's no simple answer, but there are certain hallmarks worth searching out: assertive heat, deep muskiness, depth of spice, shots of citrus, silken textures, and a blend of flavors that evokes life in one of the world's most gastronomically sophisticated countries. The food at True Thai rings all these bells and more...
Zagat 2008 Review Highlights: Credit the "excellent" assortment of the "best" Thai food in town for the popularity of this appropriately named South Minneapolis wnner where you can "order" anything on the menu and not be "disappointed."
The Royal Thai Government and Thai Trade have bestowed the Thai Select label onto what is considered to be the best Thai restaurants. “Thai Select” certifies that the food, the hospitality and the atmosphere of the restaurant is authentic. Receiving this prestigious award isn’t easy; the bar is set high and the guidelines are strict. Still through training and inspections, high standard Thai restaurants worldwide have achieved this distinction.
"The restaurant is beautifully decorated by folks who know and love Thai culture, but the food is the reason to eat here; freshness and subtlety characterize this extensive menu. Ever since I tried it a couple years ago, I have been hooked. The pad Thai is the best I've ever had, and their pineapple fried rice is a real treat! The people who work there are so nice."
