Reviews for On's Kitchen in St Paul, MN
Really want to like this place since we are looking for good Thai restaurants in twin city. Pad Thai was so sweet and strong... ketchup flavor that we couldn?t finished a half of it. Cashew chicken was no flavor except salty and breaded chicken was sodry. The last dish pork with broccoli was serious bad.. (I didn?t want to use the word bad) however the meat was fried too muchto the point inedible. Good service, the food came fast. Read more
Solid destination for staple Thai fare. Pad-Phong-Ga-Lee (Isn't that fun to say!?), otherwise known as a #57, is the star of the... show! 10-out-of-10 on the spice level if you ask me! Enjoy! Read more
My new go to Thai place. Ordered the tom kha with chicken ($12) and mango + sticky rice ($9). Food was traditional and tasted... great. My favorite was the mango + sticky rice?so delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Read more
The best food for lunch & dinner. I recommend the crispy duck Thai style. One of my favorite dishes. So savory and refreshing.... I?ve been coming for years and I can?t get enough! Read more
When my friends from outside Minnesota come visit me, this is the first restaurant I take them to. The food here is out of this... world, both from a taste and from a price standpoint. I don't even recall how many times I have had the crab fried rice, thestuffed chicken wings, the chicken satay, the tom ka, and the pad thai. Today I went back, and had the massaman curry, and wasonce again amazed in the best way. Given this place's huge menu, there's gotta be something for everybody, unless you just don'tlike Thai food in general. This also means I have a lot more dishes I need to try there ???? I am willing to give all my supportto a small business like such who is a true representation of Thai cuisine, and I am very delightened about the fact that it isright here in Saint Paul. Absolute favorite! Read more
Super good! I ordered their Thai Milk Tea & Chicken Pad Thai. I ordered the chicken pad thai medium heat but probably would... order it a little spicier next time. Their milk tea was good too! A little bit small for the price but it was good. I also wouldorder the pad thai without chicken next time. It?s on the smaller side as far as portion size of chicken in the pad Thai for theprice but the portion size of pad Thai itself was definitely worth it. Would definitely order from here again!

My first visit. This place is so good! I had been suggested to try them when I asked about restaurants in the Twin Cities with... very spicy dishes available. I tried one dish that?s a favorite of mine and one that was new to me The dish in front is one ofmy faves. It?s called nam khao. It?s an Isan/Lao dish that?s like crispy fried rice. Spiced rice is balled up and deep frieduntil it?s crispy. The crispy rice is mixed with herbs, fermented pork sausage, lime vinaigrette, peanuts, chilis, and coconut.It?s served with lettuce to eat it with by hand The other dish was new to me. It?s called nam thok. It?s another Isan/Lao dishthat?s like a southeast Asian ceviche (it?s like laab but with sliced meat). It?s sliced meat, herbs, lime juice, chilis,shallots, ground toasted rice, and fish sauce. It?s also served with lettuce to eat with. I was told this place serves theirfood spicy, which is why I went. It definitely fit the bill for that. I told the server I really like spicy food and shesuggested if I like spicy to order a 3/10 and add chili if needed. I asked for a 6/10 which I think was a perfect heat for me. Icould have handled hotter, but this was a really nice level to enjoy the food without needing to wipe my nose and brow the wholetime ???????? I believe both dishes use ground, dried chilis for heat, with the nam khao also using finely minced fresh chilis Ithink. I?ve had with coarsely chopped fresh chilies (at Nong?s Thai in Golden Valley, which is wonderful) which has a moreimmediately aggressive heat and lingers longer. I like both ways, I really enjoy the progressive heat On?s dishes have and howwell the heat is balanced with other flavors to be vibrant and not violent Read more
I was so happy that I found this place. Was craving crab fried rice. Ordered a bunch of other foods too, all of them were great.... Portion size is good too. My only complaint is, they brought out the mango sticky rice before the entree. Price is on a higherend but nothing crazy. Read more
