Sawatdee
Sawatdee has been a Thai food staple in the Twin Cities since 1980. The Saint Paul restaurant was previously located in Lowertown but relocated to downtown. It still serves up authentic Thai dishes at mid-range prices, has a wider selection of fish dishes than many other Thai restaurants in the area, and is accommodating with special requests. Sawatdee has a full bar with daily happy hour specials and a Wednesday date night special of Thai for Two.
Sawatdee Saint Paul is open daily for lunch and dinner, and it offers dine-in, takeout and catering.

Bangkok Thai Deli & Supermarket
Bangkok Thai Deli & Supermarket is a small mom-and-pop shop in the South Frogtown neighborhood of Saint Paul. You may have to look hard to find it, the building is a bare, white box with a simple sign above the door, but it is a true gem. The interior is as plain as the exterior with folding chairs and picnic-style tablecloths. But don't be fooled, in these meager surroundings you'll experience authentic Thai food served with great hospitality. Dishes are generously portioned. In addition to dining or getting takeout, you can pick up Thai grocery items in the adjoining shop.
Bangkok Thai Deli & Supermarket is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
