“I have come here often for sit-down experience – both indoor and outside in the spring/summer. The service is impressive as the server handles multiple tables at once and we have never waited longer than 15 minutes for food. We love the beef and lettuce wraps, red curry, cranberry-creme cheese wontons. The setting is perfectly located right in downtown near the gold metal park as well.” – Morgan P.

“Juan did a great job serving us and giving us the down-low on the food and made some great recommendations for first-time diners. We had the cream cheese wontons and the Szechuan dumplings for appetizers and they were fantastic. The dan noodles were absolutely phenomenal. Great place for dinner with family or the spouse.” – Nick W.

“If you want to live your best life you must eat here. This place offers a one-of-a-kind experience. I have never been to a fancy Chinese restaurant, but since eating here, I have seriously been missing out. When we arrived we sat down at our table in the middle of the dining room, and we asked them if we could eat in the private room they said yes! I have only seen this type of dining in movies. The pork buns were absolutely one of the best. Also the scallion pancakes, king pau chicken, sesame chicken, and the fried tofu dish. I can’t wait to come back and experience this a second time.” – Emily S.

“Asian Max has been one of my favorite fast-food restaurants to eat at in downtown Minneapolis because all the food is made fresh, and it tastes that way. The restaurant just changed ownership and the new owners are only improving everything. The sesame chicken, spicy basil chicken, and bourbon chicken have a really good flavor, and their spicy beans are the best! I also really like the fresh spring rolls and cucumber salad. You can actually eat very healthy there and not be stuck with a salad.” – Galen M.

“I went to Flamin‘ Thai cuisine with eight of my friends this weekend. It was our first time dining there. Right before we ordered our waiter informed us that they no longer serve sushi. We were bummed, but the truth is we were there for the Thai food. Between the nine of us, we ordered 10 different dishes and they were all amazing! We tried a seafood stirfry dish, their tilapia, four different curries, pad Thai, tom yum, lab, and the calamari. We were impressed by every dish we ordered! They were delicious and packed with flavor! Wow! The service was great! We will be back.” – Pang M.
