Leela Thai Restaurant

I tried Leela’s tonight & ordered pad thai, I got medium spice because I was told it wasn’t too hot. I like spicy food but not where my tongue, lips & nose are on fire and this was HOT to me. I would definitely come back but wanted to warn those that are heat sensitive, get mild! I wasn’t able to enjoy my pad thai & the flavors because it was too spicy.

Wowowowowowow!!! Literally - best spot for Thai - HANDS DOWN!! Do not sleep on Leela’s! My wife ordered Pad Thai (No Spice) and it’s already Gluten Free!!! For every person out there that goes somewhere to order Pad Thai but are disappointed with the GF version, say no more! Leela’s has your back! The spring rolls were delicious! Bring your own GF Hoisin Sauce to the table for dipping! And last, but not least the Panang Curry! Most of the Thai places here miss it by a long shot! They never have eggplant in it AND sometimes places have carrots in it! No! Not here! Leela’s does it RIGHT! I was instructed to do Mild and add my own spice with their house made Hot Chili sauce! Wowwwww!!!! I wish my vocabulary was more diverse but you get the picture! I ate before my phone ate so this is the on

So before I get into the food, the day we came, there were a few sketchy looking people outside the restaurant ( location is a little uneasy ) but as long as you can get passed that part, everything else was great. Great service, great food. Both me and the wife got the chicken pho ( much needed ) only change I would make is to thinly slice chicken breast. Boiled chicken thighs are not the correct cut for pho in my opinion and it was very flavorful. If I'm ever back in st Paul, I'll definitely be back..

This restaurant has a good selection of food. We ordered boat noodle, deep fried pork belly with sticky rice, egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. The BOAT NOODLE came with some greens, plenty of beef and pork skin. I liked it but felt that the broth was too rich. It was too sweet for my sisters liking but that's based on preference. PORK BELLY was dipped in a batter before being fried. I was not a fan of this and the pork had a raw smell to it. However it did come with some bomb hot pepper and that kinda helped. Was also not a fan of the sticky rice. It was a bit hard. EGGROLL was nice and crispy but mostly contained vermicelli noodles and cabbage. We each saw one tiny piece of meat in each eggroll. CREAM CHEESE WONTON was so good! One of the best in the twin cities. It was completely fill

I just found my new favorite Thai restaurant — and I’m so glad they opened near my home! I’ve tried several dishes so far, and everything has been incredibly flavorful and delicious. Their Cajun seafood boil was packed with bold spices and perfectly cooked, and the Pad Thai had that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back soon to try even more dishes. Highly recommend
