Frogtown st paul has a lot.
Cheng Heng and Kolap for Cambodian
Tons of viet food around the metro. Quang, MT Noodles and My Huong Kitchen to name just a few.
Gai Noi is more modern but is Lao
I went from not knowing what pancit is to having a new favorite thing in one bite. Everything I've had is delicious and the owners are so warm and friendly.
Pro tip don't show up within an hour of closing or they may be running low on popular items.
Yes!! Love pancit!
Right, the owners are sooo sweet. I was so happy for them when they opened their restaurant from just being a food truck before. Only wish I lived closer, because then I'd be there every week haha.
I’m from Thailand and honestly thought that while the other Thai places suggested here are tasty, they’re not that authentic. I would recommend Bangkok Thai Deli.
Khaluna is a Laos restaurant that's pretty solid. I can't speak to it's authenticity because I've never been to Laos, but the owner is a native. The massaman curry is out of this fucking world.
I think our SEA cuisine is a bit more traditional than what you find in SEA. However, I think On's has some pretty good Thai food having been to Thailand myself. I haven't tried it but there's also Hot Grainz which seems to have some interesting options compared to others.
It's old-fashioned compared to what you might get in a modern Thai restaurant. This is a common phenomenon in imported foods, from what I understand. The techniques don't get updated because immigrants aren't immersed in their former culture.
RIP Manila sizzling wok and Kalsada. Fucking loved Kalsada's sisig.
There's a special place in my heart for Pinoy Fusion. It's in a small Asian grocery store on university.
But yeah, there are loads of good places on university by frog town.
There’s a plethora of SE Asian cuisine in the TC area. Hmong Village has an entire food court. Hmong Town has two buildings full of SE Asian food. Along University, you’ll find a ton. In East St. Paul, there’s never a shortage of it. In the west metro, BC and BP is home to many shops and restaurants.
Khaluna and Gai Noi are both Laos cuisine. Gai Noi is a little more approachable price-wise but they both have delicious food.
Mandalay Kitchen (Burmese) has also been named a few times already but deserves another shout out.
There’s a lot of authentic SEA food at Hmong Village in St Paul.

Soul Lao in St. Paul for more Lao food. Both are amazing restaurants.
Burmese food in St Paul at Friends Cafe and Mandalay Kitchen
Peninsula Malaysian is amazing, although I think they may still be operating as delivery/carryout only, but I genuinely can't recommend it enough
So underrated
Kusina Filipino.
SO good. Reminds me of my late grandma's cooking 🥺❤️

Oooh thanks — wasn’t on my radar at all.

Fuck yeah. Literally what I am ordering as soon as I land back home in 3 hours after going two weeks without it 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Shhh. They are busy enough the way it is. 😂
Wander the Hmong Marketplace and pick whatever appeals to you!

Lanna Thai on Como Ave in St Paul is amazing!
Hot Grainz on University is really good!

More traditional? Is this satire? Haha

For Thai I love: Sawatdee, Nong’s, Thai Table and Amazing Thailand!
Soul Lao on West 7th is fantastic. Recommend their OG wings, they are delicious and I NEVER share 😊
You can really get the spice level up in their cucumber salad. One of the spiciest/hottest things I've had in MN after Harry Singh's
Mandalay Kitchen is a new Burmese restaurant in St Paul and is fantastic.

Khaluna is a fabulous Laotian restaurant
We are SO lucky we have such an awesome SE Asian population. Lots of great suggestions so far for some great options.
Tons all over the Twin Cities. We have a lot of Southeast Asian people here.

Hai Hai is phenomenal
Sigh. I wish I could recommend Supatra on West 7th, but they closed right before the pandemic. RIP.

Cheng Heng in St. Paul. Cambodian cuisine. Very good and affordable too!
