“The district’s name derives from the Mekong River, which flows from China through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Some 40,000 residents of St. Paul trace their origins to one of these nations, many who were displaced to America. Today, they enrich the entire Twin Cities community with a rich variety of cultures, tastes, and traditions. Little Mekong restaurants have proven exceedingly popular, and the region has become a destination of choice for discriminating diners from all over the city.”

“The first thing one notices about the Ha Tien banh mi is heft. This is a large sandwich with impressive amounts of barbequed char siu pork, glistening red, and charred crisp. Beyond that, the sandwich resembles other quality banh mis with one distinct exception—the “juice.” Ha Tien offers its customers a wet sandwich ladled with a soy-based pork sauce, thin and flecked with bits of ground pork. The sauce adds richness and flavor and makes for a sloppy and ultimately satisfying meal. Is this the best banh mi in town? It certainly could be.”

“This is the best place to experience Thai Cuisine,” says Yuwadee Lo at Thai Cafe. Just a few of the restaurant’s popular dises include Thai Papaya Salad, Sour Pork Ribs, White Gourd Juice, Chrysanthemum Tea, Tom Kha Soup, Ginger Fried Fish, Duck Laab, and the perennially popular Pad Thai.
Thai Cafe is a 5-star restaurant and, according to Yuwadee Lo and Marieclaire Ku, large groups travel to the cafe from Georgia, Wisconsin and other states. For people who are unfamiliar with Thai Cuisine, the staff is always happy to help customers orders. The café is open for lunch and dinner, in addition to take out. New dishes are often added to the menu. Thai Cafe also does catering!
