Baan Rao Thai Restaurant & Mini Market

This is by far the most delicious and most flavourful food in all minot. I am from Puerto Rico, and WE DO have high standards for food. I had the opportunity to try out and review food from places where I lived and visit within the US and overseas like Mississippi, New York, Delaware, Texas, New Jersey, South Dakota, Philadelphia,Virginia, South Korea, Mexico and more and this place DID NOT disappointed me. 10/10.

A pleasant surprise, tucked away on a side street - if your Google maps is telling you to access from the highway, don't believe it! Travel down 20th ave SW, turning south on 10th st SW; you'll find it on the right, at the end of the little road. Ample parking is available.

We ordered the Thai style Bibimbap, and Khao Soi. Bibimbap (picture added) is a wonderful choice for anyone who is new to thai cuisine - a simple rice dish with protein (chicken in my case) and veggies, topped with a fried egg and served in a clay pot. It is "medium" spicy, definitely present but not overwhelming. Be sure to mix everything up together, and get the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot - it's the best part!

The Khao soi was flavourful and filling, a hint of spice, but not too strong. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the fried egg noodles on top added the perfect crunch.

After enjoying a wonderful meal, take a look through the small Asian market - many great ingredients, especially if you're now looking to learn how to make your new favourite dish at home.

very very good! I ordered the chicken pad thai- medium heat. whoa! they delivered it. with a slice of lemon and chopped peanuts. yum! very very happy with my food. they sell Korean and Thai food staples. I am so happy I found Gochujang paste. very clean and friendly staff. they have a sit down restaurant or pick up orders. I highly recommend. will be trying the panang curry next.

What a hidden treasure! Had a fabulous meal with some of the most flavorful food I've ever experienced! The woman who sat us and waited on us was very kind and helpful when choosing what to order. I enjoyed a nice hot jasmine tea, and my boyfriend had an iced Thai tea. We ordered the summer rolls which we would absolutely recommend! We also enjoyed the green curry with chicken, and the pad si-iew with chicken. We enjoyed browsing the grocery section as well, which offered a lot of variety of teas, sauces, noodles, vegetables, meats, and more!

Wow, is the word. You can't go wrong. Did you know it had a market too? That's really awesome. It isn't as large as the one is Bismark, but who cares food is awesome. Sitting down or dine out, have all been great. Especially some of the regional dushes offered, things never heard of, Kua Gink is dang good, add heat then breathe fire.

In the Minot area, this place could be #1 but it's my number 2, a very strong #2, nothing to shy away from. Could easily be number 1, actually my top two are distance themselves from others.

Baan Rao gives you calm and flavors with old world tastes, not too sweet but the sour is there, along with items that will surprise you.

Delicious food! One of my favorite restaurants in Minot. I love that I can get good food, great service and can shop their market after eating.

We arrived a couple minutes before opening and were greeted and sat happily and quickly! The Massaman Curry was absolutely delicious. It warmed my soul! My husband got Pad See Ew and said it was the best he’s ever had. The shop side of the restaurant is also full of yummy snacks.

This is our go to place for a Thai, the food is always fresh and full of flavour. Had the yellow curry tonight with some rice, it was sooo good, hit the spot ☺

Excellent cashew chicken, ordered extra spicy.. Be careful if you order "Thai Hot" ... it isn't for the faint of heart.

My son's favorite is Laab.

First time, Google maps tried to say we were there, but we were still on the highway, need to come in off 20th Avenue SW...
The Baan Gia was the perfect light lunch, awesome flavor!

I love there food it was pretty good rice was a bit dry but overall amazing the place is pretty welcoming and amazing service just very quiet I wish they had music playing

Excellent service atmosphere and the food was on point, very authentic!!! We also purchased a lot of groceries from their grocery section and they were reasonably priced!

Excellent and authentic. Worth making your way here. Fast and friendly service in a unique and memorable restaurant. Nice music in the background.

Baan Rao carry out is every bit as delicious as eating in. Excellent portions. Re-heats great! Friendly staff and fantastic service. I also love the grocery side. Very affordable, authentic groceries.

My personal favorite place to get food in Minot! Love the food, love the little market, love Baan Rao!

Getting here using Google maps is an adventure. It wanted me to stop on the shoulder of the highway and then walk across the grass to the restaurant

An interesting find; essentially a mart with a restaurant tagged on or a restaurant with a mart tagged on. Either way pretty cool.

The staff are very friendly. The service was just right And the food was excellent. Would certainly recommend

Beautiful dining room and delicious food! They were really busy when we were there, so service was a bit slow, but the food was very fresh and hot.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Minot, unique and fantastic food. They have a huge menu with many gems. They’re also one of the most vegan- and vegetarian-friendly places in town.

Cool store too with a great selection of grocery items.

We ordered Pad Thai, spring rolls, and green curry, delicious! Definitely suggest and recommend. We asked for a side of spicy chili, and they delivered the heat! 🔥 If you don't like spicy, don't worry, we asked for it. 🥰

Awesome, fresh food. Great service. Very clean in the restaurant. Reasonable prices. Everything was cooked from scratch.
