The Twin Cities now have many fine Thai restaurants, but none offering better, more authentic Thai cuisine than the Royal Orchid, now located next to the Barnes and Noble near Rosedale. The menu may not be as extensive as Sawatdee, and the decor can't compete with The King and I, but the food is superb. A friend who has visited southeast Asia and developed a fondness for Thai cuisine claims that the Royal Orchid is the only Thai restaurant that serves the real thing in the Twin Cities.
Pros: Authentic, Delicious, Casual
