Delicious food. Seriously delicious. Friendly service. Vegetarian friendly. Try the ginger stir fry. Loved everything about this place.
Phi Chay Thai is the best Thai food around! The dishes are fresh with quality ingredients. The service is also wonderful.
All I can say is if I'm in this area it is pretty hard for me not to come in and pick up some food or dine in. Nice atmosphere with simply some of the best Thai Food I have ever had. I highly recommend trying this place I doubt you will be disappointed!
Food was a 5 star. Service did the best they could for a busy Friday Night.have enjoy many of the dish's on their menu. Inside is a typical for this area and price point.
A long way from home came here for work and was looking Lao/thai food that reminds me of my mom's cooking . Found this place a couple min from my air bnb and was not disappointed. A small restaurant with street parking. My server so nice and service was great. Traditional music on low in the seating area .I got the basic home meal papaya salad made lao style SPICY ...loved it sweet,spicy,sour just the way I like it . The fried chicken was crispy and paired perfect of course with sticky rice . Will be back to try other entrees.
Delicious! I dined in on a Friday evening and experienced quick and friendly service, a clean facility and fresh food. I started with the chicken rice soup which was a pretty big portion so I did end up taking it home. For my main dish I ordered the veggie stir fry and added chicken. This was served with a bed of white rice. Everything was fresh and came out in a reasonable timeframe. My one comment is that the scaling of spice goes 1-4 and 1 has a little more kick then I would have expected. Outside of this, I would totally come back and I'm already adding it into my planner for a return. Thank you, Phi Chay!
Excellent! This is how Thai Food should ALWAYS be. We ordered the Tom Kha Gai, Veggie Fried Rice, and the Thai Crying Steak and they were all perfectly cooked with perfectly balanced flavors. The ingredients were so fresh, it was just SOOOO GOOD. We will be back as often as we visit the twin cities!
A full menu of delicious-ness! One waiter was trying to cover way too much territory, so the service was slow, but we were in no hurry (until the end, when we had to pay the bill and get to the theater which was difficult. Moderate prices, good portions, nice!
Amazing Thai food!!!! Simply amazing! Tee had pork belly as an appetizer and it was perfectly cooked: crispy, but not too much, and the sauce had the perfect amount of heat. I had the green curry again with pork belly and it was for sure the best green curry I have ever eaten. The staff was lovely, great amount of attention, without being at our table too much. The restaurant was clean, and simply decorated, which I personally like. They have a very small parking lot on the side, so be prepared to park on the street. Highly, highly recommend this place!
My husband and I came here for a quick dinner on our way to curling one Thursday evening and wanted to try to find a new Thai place with good food. We tried the Coconut Shrimp and Crispy Salad to start and then shared Chicken Red Curry for our meal. Every dish was very good and we liked the spice caddy on every table! The only feedback I'd have is that we purposely got our curry "mild" so we could separately add spice (my husband likes it hot and me not so much). But even at mild it was a little too hot for me to truly enjoy or appreciate the nutty warm flavors. For how great the food was the service was just OK. There was one person working that we could see and while she only had five or six tables, the service was very slow and borderline inattentive. Other than that we'd probably try it again to see if it was an anomaly.
