Friends Cafe - Saint Paul

The food was excellent, and Cha was incredibly helpful. If you're craving Thai boat noodles, this is the place to go!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was friendly, and my family of 13 thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I highly recommend trying the boat noodle, pineapple fried rice, and pad thai—they were all delicious! The restaurant also features beautiful artwork and decor. I definitely plan to visit again soon.

The boat noodles were fantastic! In contrast, the beef Nam Tắc was a bit bland and reminded me of Hmong Laab; it could definitely use a bit more seasoning. The egg rolls were slightly burnt, but they still had good flavor. The cream cheese puffs were perfect, although I felt they were overpriced given their small size and the overall bill seemed a bit steep for the portions we received. As for the dining area, it could use a bit more tidiness; hopefully, the owner will work on this to enhance the experience in the future. Overall, the boat noodles were the best I've ever had, and I would definitely return the next time I'm in town.

This place isn?t like before. They?re not treating the customers fair. If you?re the same race as them, they won?t serve you like they supposed to. But if you?re other races, they treat you nice! Also, After checking out, automatic gratuity shouldn?t bethat expensive. It should be up to the customers whether they want to leave the tips or not. This restaurant isn?t recommended!

Food tasted great! Had lunch here with my mom and brother. Before any pics could be taken, food was halfway done! Papaya 4/5 asked for medium but came out a little spicier, shrimp Tomyum 4/5, spicy beef nam tok 5/5, and my favorite was the shrimp glassnoodles 5/5. Would definitely come back here when I'm in the area.
