Review content:
Let me first preface this review with the fact that I am Thai, I have lived in Thailand, and I frequently return to visit relatives so I know what real Thai food is. I visited Taste of Thailand in hopes of have an authentic experience with Thai food in the Twin Cities. I was sorely disappointed with this place. The restaurant was deserted save for 3 other couples in a building that could easily accommodate 150 people. This was not a promising sign. I looked over the menu and the prices seemed a bit higher than average so I was expecting some higher-than-average quality. My girlfriend and I split the shrimp wrapped in eggroll skins (gung hom pha), she ordered the mango seed stir fry(pad med mamuang, similar to cashew stir fry), and I had the garlic and Thai pepper stir fry with pork(tod kratiem prik thai). The only decent tasting thing was the shrimp and that wasn't even on par with my expectations. My pork was bland and far overpriced at $8.40 for 8 small slices of pork and literally a handful of cilantro on top. This in itself was upsetting. Plus, it was very bland and sweet when it should not have been. My girlfriend's cashew chicken was bland and tasted overly sweet. As for the ambiance, the decorations were stereotypically asian and mostly Chinese. Shortly after sitting down, the other couples left so there was some silence except for my lessons on Thai language to my girlfriend so the server/manager turned on music but it was definitely not Thai. The server/manager spoke Thai with me but later admitted she was from Burma when I inquired about her accent. She said she had lived in Thailand for 24 years and still had a house there. We paid and left after that brief conversation.\r
My overall opinion; the prices are far too high for the amount and quality of the food received. Also, it goes to show that even if the person operating a Thai restaurant has lived in Thailand, it's still not guaranteed that they can make the food correctly.
Pros: Appetizers seem okay but not great
Cons: Prices, Flavor, Quantity of food
