Naviya's Thai Kitchen

Naviya's has excellent Thai food at reasonable prices. We had the basil fried rice, the spicy noodles, Pad Thai and Massaman curry plus an order of shrimp egg rolls. Everything was great, especially the fried rice, but the curry dish was very sweet so we wouldn't order that next time. We were seated right away on a Saturday night. Service was attentive and fast!

Here's my review. I'll break it into chunks where certain topics might matter to you (:

Parking:
- plenty of street parking, free

Dining:
- waiter was very nice and very attentive
- was able to sit at a table quickly
- food came out pretty fast
- bathroom and inside the restaurant was clean
- plenty of seating inside too

Food:
- the spring rolls were sooooo delicious! (: the peanut dipping sauce was sweet but very flavorful. I think this is probably one of my favorites now for fresh spring rolls. The shrimp chicken combo was also very nice and flavorful.
- chicken pad see ew: it's interesting to have bell peppers and squash in it, but I like having more veggies in my dishes (makes me feel a bit more healthier XD). The chicken isn't like rubbery or hard but shreds nicely when you bite into it. There's a light tint of a flavor like sesame oil. The dish wasn't super oily.

Overall, I had a very pleasant dine in experience after my two hikes. This is also just a very cute town area to explore. I would recommend here as a new place to check out and a town to explore 😊

The amazing places you can find through just a quick search always amaze me. Naviya's was no exception as the food, service, and atmosphere were amazing! I arrived on a super chilly Halloween evening to an empty spot. I was warmly welcomed and asked to sir wherever. I took a seat and checked out their menu, which had a diverse mix of curries, rice, appetizers, and other entrees.

I was a little overwhelmed, so the waiter told me to try the green curry with chicken. I'm so glad I tried this as the curry was so delicious. It came out pipping hot and with medium spice. It made my lips tingle just enough, but not to the point of discomfort. I added the white rice that came on the side and chowed down. Every bite was satisfying, and I could not get enough. I'm so happy that curry makes great leftovers as I was able to save it and savor it later.

Definitely recommend this wonderful neighborhood gem! Speaking of the neighborhood, it is super quaint and cute.

I will be back to Naviya's when I am in the Minneapolis area again!

This was our first time here and we loved it. The service was efficient and friendly, the atmosphere was nice, but the food stole the show. We ordered three items and split it up. The papaya salad was our favorite and ridiculously good. The Rama Thai was out next favorite, with a great sauce and smoky flavor. We also really liked the sweet soy noodles. If you want some outstanding Thai food, it’s worth a trip to Naviya’s!

Wow this place is delicious!! I'm a Thai food lover and have enjoyed it at restaurants across the world, including Thailand! And this is VERY high up on the list! LOVE the variety of vegetables included in all the dishes we chose. Lettuce wraps were the best I've ever had - loved the cauliflower, red pepper bits and rice crunches you could add. I ordered sweet Basil spice level 5/6. Freshest of fresh veggies, perfectly prepared chicken and flavor was round and perfectly spiced.

I should also mention that it's a very non-spice friendly place, too. One person in our group ordered no spice , another a kennel 3 and me 5/6 and all of us LOVED our meals. I'll definitely be back!

We came without reservations on a Saturday evening. They were quite busy but gave us a table outside. Despite being busy, our server was attentive and we got our food amazingly fast. We got the spring rolls, pad Thai and pineapple duck curry, every dish was delicious. It was just what we needed. I was sad that I was too full to get the mango sticky rice dessert. The only downside is the outside tables are right by the road.

The food was amazing!! Really good Thai cuisine. We had the Spicy Lemongrass Soup and the Sweet Thai Basil with Duck. Everything was good, with just the expected amount of spice. Will definitely come again to try more things.

Had a wonderful experience at Naviya's Thai Kitchen! Loved all the dishes that we had ordered - Panang curry , Thai Basil fried rice , pad Kee mow noodles and Thai iced tea. The dishes were flavorful and we shall surely come back again! 🥹❤

We never have a bad experience here. Every meal is excellent. I had Green Curry and the flavors were superb. Spicy and hot, bur not too hot. The cream cheese wonton were delicious.

Had their fresh chicken and shrimp spring rolls, chicken Pad Thai, and a Golden Monkey Belgian Triple beer. Everything was great and our server was awesome. The spring rolls were fresh, tasty and the right proportions of ingredients. My one nit for the rolls was the dipping sauce was plain. I prefer the oil based sauce these come with over the peanut butter based sauces some places serve, but Naviya's could bring theirs up a notch. The chicken Pad Thai was the best I have had in a long time, quite possibly beating my all time favorite that recently closed. They add the veggies to the dish but ensure they are still crisp and cooked to perfection. Portions are good for the price and enough for leftovers unless you are super hungry. All in all I'll be back and would highly recommend.

A little gem nestled in the Linden Hills neighborhood. We are very excited to have tried it and will absolutely go back! I would say the food is a solid 4 star and the extra star just came from how friendly the service is.

Pretty much everything is delicious, but I encourage you to be adventurous and highly recommend the:
- Rama thai
- Green curry
- Ginger Hot plate
- Mango sticky rice

We enjoyed the lettuce wrap a lot. The filling was a good mix of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. The red curry I had was so good I over ate and hurt myself. It had a nice complex flavor once I got over the heat. Our server was very friendly and efficient.

Some of the best Thai food that I’ve ever had! My sister and I split the spring rolls and veggie green curry and WOW it was flavorful, a little spicy, the veggies cooked to perfection. Good service, reasonably priced, and nice to sit outside on a beautiful fall day. Lots of great gluten-free options as well!

one of my favourite Thai restaurants in the twin cities. we ordered their basil fried rice with beef and pad see ew and the dishes are filled with fresh vegetables and delicious flavours. i really enjoyed their fried rice because it got a nice basil flavour to it and the portion size is huge but definitely more on the expensive side ~$18 per dish. it’s also located in a very cute neighborhood and i would love to come back and try their other menu items

In a word: delicious. had the sweet soy noodles, red curry, cream cheese wonton, Thai coffee and spring rolls. All excellent. The kids menu was the adult menu but mini --delicious pad thai.
A nice touch: If you like super spicy food, like melt your mouth thai hot, they will bring you a cute little pot of their housemate chili oil and one of spices. My dining partner was thrilled!!

Definitely will return.

Amazing food. The chefs are artists just showing off. If you like Thai, this place has to be on your list. Fantastic service as well. I already can't wait to come back. 10/10 recommend the hot plate

All three dishes we got were great, and our group especially loved the #30! I also appreciated that the menu clearly identified gluten free options, and it noted that almost all dishes on the menu could be made GF upon request. We’ll be back soon!!

I drove past here a few weeks ago when checking out Linden Hills. I put it on my list and did not think about for a few days until a friend recommended it as a good Thai place in town. That meant I needed to come. About an hour ago I asked some friends what they were up to, but everybody already had dinner plans so I went against what I always do and came here by myself (well my baby is along sleeping). I'm so glad that I came. I sat down at a spot on the patio and a server was out right away to greet me. I checked the menu in advance and asked a couple questions. I went with one of the favorites, Pa-nang Chicken Curry. I was warned that it has a little kick, but it wasn't not too spicy if you like a little bit of heat. The chicken was just right. It was full of vegetables that were also cooked just right. I have enough to take home for a treat later. I'm excited to come back to try more. I also like meals and tips that are in the $20 combined range.

My daughter invited me and my wife for lunch at this unique restaurant. I drove for about 35 mins to get there and I was wondering why should I drive for that long just to eat! It was well worth it. The food was super delicious, the atmosphere was cozy despite the construction going on and it was just a good “old school feel”. I will be back again soon for sure.

Had a great meal at Naviya. We loved the newer decor and had a phenomenal meal, cream cheese wantons also highly recommended.
