Reviews for Thai Tempo in Shakopee, MN
Unbelievable Green Curry! I wish I would have taken a photo but it looked so good I couldn't wait to eat it. The eggrolls are... amazing and the sauce that comes with makes them even better. Christina was an excellent host and I will definitely be back!Thank you! ???? Read more
I would go 2.5 stars if I could but I?ll lean on the side of grace. When I walked in, there were no other customers. The... cashier was not very receptive or friendly. Some regulars came in while I was eating and a lady from the back spoke with them. They got a much better reception than I got for sure. The restaurant was clean. The advertisements on the wall are beautifulbut the banquet style tables and chairs leave something to be desired. I disagree with at least part of most of the reviews asfar as the food goes. A lot of people saying that the food is super good. I didn?t think so. It?s not bad? it?s just ok. Itwas hot and the Others said the portions sizes were small? I disagree there too. I was very full when I was finished.Beautiful dish with the cabbage, scallions, and bean sprouts. I wish it would have been as good as it looked. One thing Iagree with is it is definitely overpriced. The menu on the wall said that the drunken noodles that I ordered were $16 and yetthey were $19 on my receipt? and $3 for a CAN of soda? Yikes! I?m traveling for work so I?m not paying for it but I know thatat $25 a person, I?d probably not take the family. $100 would be better spent on food elsewhere. I went with the intension togo to Jerseys Mikes but this place caught my eye so they did good there. Next time I?ll probably just get a sandwich though. Read more
This place is absolutely amazing. I saw some complaints about the price point of the food but that?s pretty standard across the... country. $50 for two people is normal for most places nowadays. If you want some cheap Asian food - go to Panda Express, butyou?ll still spend $15-$25 per person there depending on what you get, so I don?t understand the fuss here. If you want to trysomething different from a family owned business- go here. If you?re like me reading reviews to know if the food was good andnot everyone?s opinion on the price - take mine into consideration: The food is absolutely amazing - I honestly think theyonly have things on the menu that they know how to cook well because you won?t be disappointed by anything here. The creampuffs, egg rolls, pad thai and lomein were absolutely delicious and served in big portions. I had two cream puffs, one of thehuge egg rolls and the lo mein (which I was only to eat able to get halfway). The owner was very friendly and charismatic andbrought our food out in a timely manner. The food was fresh, was brought out at the perfect temperature and had a great flavorprofile. You can honestly add whatever you want - it?s on the menu. Want more veggies? - ask for it. Want more protein? - youhave 6 different options. Honestly, we loved the food and enjoyed our time there. Read more
I had the red curry with shrimp. We had yellow curry and mixed vegetables and Spring rolls. Red curry was very good, yellow... curry not so much and mixed vegetables was good. The spring rolls were very good and huge! You get 3 but 3 can share as theywere huge. My first thought that it was too expensive but after seeing the serving sized and the quality I think it's worth it. However I'd rather go to a nice sit down restaurant and pay about the same. I would get it to go next time. Read more
I came here just because my daughter needed a bathroom so I grabbed lunch too. I've never had yellow curry with just onion and... tofu before. It looked more like a Japanese Curry instead of a Thai curry. I was disappointed that for $20.00 I got tofu andrice without any vegetables. I thought carrots and potato would at least be included in the curry. The food was nice and hot.The rice was aromatic. The bathroom was very clean. I mightl come back for the clean bathroom and $2 can of soda. I don'tunderstand the good reviews though don't people like vegetables? A curry for $20 really should come on a proper plate as well.

I honestly dislike making negative reviews, but this place really earned a bad review. First, the cashier was rude. She showed... a lack of interest in serving her guests. I was trying to explain something about my order, but she was busy texting andbrowsing stuff on her cell phone. Second, she brought me the wrong order. I did not return the order because of the abbrasivenature of the cashier. She gave me the gut feeling that trying to make complaint about the order was an easy invitation for anugly argument likely to escalate. It's was a very cold and windy day in Minnesota, and I just wanted to go home. I ordered adrink and she did not bring it. Third, the price of the food is onerous. Basically, the food costs twice the price of itemsthat are quite inexpensive in Panda Express or Leeann Chin. I got the vibe that we are dealing with a small family businessmanaged by people with limited experience in the hospitality business. My hope is that they learn from these reviews andimprove their mode of operation. I do not have anything personal against these individuals, but if you are going to serve foodat expensive prices, you have an obligation with your customers. My advice is simple: lower the prices and greet your customerswith a nice smile and kind words. Regarding the quality of the food, I would say not bad, kind of average. By the way, I amstill waiting for my drink and the correct order, but it's too cold for me to walk down there. Good luck! Read more
Pros: Flavorful spicy chicken lomein. Very unique and delicious Cons: price point is way too high. Doesn?t match the ingredients... in the dish. For example, my spicy chicken lomein consisted of noodles, some chicken and maybe four slices of onion. NO otherveggies!!! That was shocking to me. I paid $21 for lunch! Cream cheese puffs ($6 for 6) were mostly fried wonton with verylittle filling. Can of Diet Coke was $2 The soda machine was broken. There was no customers inside (1:30 pm on a Tuesday). Iprobably wouldn?t eat here again Read more
Come in from time to time and understand prices are gonna be high. I think the way the food is prepared and flavors make it... worth it. They are a small operation, and feel although it?s not my ideal go to, on a cold night in Shakopee if you want Thaiyou should just pay for it. Thanks for a bomb Drunken Noodle with Shrimp tonight! Stay warm peeps and Merry Christmas /Seasons Greetings! Read more
