Baan Rao Thai Restaurant

Amazing Thai fried rice and crispy spring roles. Wonderful service. I am so full :-) My new favorite spot in Minot when I travel here for work. Highly recommend.

Food is consistently amazing, but service can be REAL slow sometimes.

Fantastic ginger chicken with rice. We ordered a few dishes over Christmas here; all were delicious. I found this to taste slightly better than some of the others in town, possible due to filtered/unfiltered water - which makes a world of difference in Minot! Give it a try.

This place was okay. I ordered the red curry, expecting eggplant, but was disappointed to find it was just bell peppers, chicken, and some green beans. I don’t feel that the menu accurately reflects what I received. tried calling, but no one answered. I decided to make it to go and ask about the curry, but when I walked in, the lady seemed a bit off. She said she was busy, but there were only two people in the restaurant. I called multiple times, and she asked if I had called before I came. I said yes, as if she was upset that I hadn’t. She gave off neutral vibes, so I’m not sure if she was being rude or just not very attentive. The food was good, but it wasn’t what I ordered, and it was kind of expensive for me to get what I wanted. I probably won’t eat here again.

My recent dining adventure was truly a mixed bag. The chicken satay itself was quite delightful, but the peanut sauce veered unexpectedly into spicy territory, leaving little room for the nutty flavors I was looking forward to. The Khanom Jeen was another story; its overly diluted broth made the dish feel more like a bowl of watered-down pasta rather than the sumptuous rice noodles I had anticipated. There was a slight hiccup when one of my friends didn't receive the green curry they asked for, but a red curry instead. It was merely passable, lacking any standout qualities. Another friend's choice of sweet and sour shrimp also missed the mark, offering a bland taste that fell short of expectations. On a positive note, the service provided a glimmer of hope amidst these culinary missteps. O
