There was some outdoor seating, we decided to sit inside

panang curry

I love the panang curry - usually it is served thick and smothering over all the vegetables - tasty - but Naviya's takes their curry dishes to the next level

Their spice levels were great- if you’re a baby, like I am, you can definitely handle their one star spice no problem

Tried the Papaya Salad, Tom Yum soup, and Fried Tofu Cubes - SO GOOD! Happy to have found a local Thai restaurant that’s definitely a go to now.

Excellent Thai food made with fresh and authentic ingredients cooked to perfection. We had coconut and lemon grass soup with chicken, fried shrimp spring roll and green curry with shrimp, everything was super awesome. Don’t miss out this place if your pallet craves for Thai food 😊

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 😊

I've eaten at so many Thai places in my life. I love the panang curry - usually it is served thick and smothering over all the vegetables - tasty - but Naviya's takes their curry dishes to the next level. Each vegetable was fresh, crunchy yet not overcooked. The curry complimented each vegetable and did not overpower the overall dish. Very good. Best Thai food in Minneapolis!~

The fried rice was flavorful and well-balanced — not overly oily, with a good mix of vegetables and seasoning. It had that signature wok-char taste that gives Thai fried rice its depth, and the portion size was generous. The chicken satay stood out even more. The skewers were grilled perfectly, tender on the inside with just the right amount of char on the outside. The accompanying peanut sauce was rich and creamy, with a slight sweetness that paired beautifully with the grilled chicken.

My fiancé and I came here for a date night and wow!! I can be pretty picky- but they truly had such an amazing variety for how small of a restaurant they are. Their spice levels were great- if you’re a baby, like I am, you can definitely handle their one star spice no problem. Their cream cheese wontons are the best I’ve ever had and their stir fry was that of my dreams. Our service was fantastic!

Went to dinner with a very critical crowd of guests and each of us raved about the food. The best Tom Yum broth I have ever eaten (more veg than I am used to but it was delicious). Great service by one waiter who didn't get much support from the front desk guy as he served the entire restaurant singlehandedly. Can't wait for the leftovers!

We have eaten here for YEARS and it’s just the best!!! Several of my family members have gluten allergies and they always take care of us. Great atmosphere and even better food!!! Love the chargrilled flavor of the veggies and their curries can’t be beat! It’s by far our favorite Asian restaurant in the cities.

Possibly the best fried rice in Minnesota. Hot plates are full of flavor- chicken satay and pad Thai are always amazing just so much flavor in every dish

This was our first time here, and we loved it! Great atmosphere and service. There was some outdoor seating, we decided to sit inside. The service was great. My Panang Curry was delicious! I also got a saki mojito. My fiance got the Pad See Ew and said it was one of the best noodle stirfry dishes he’s ever had. We recommended it to our friends and can’t wait to go back.
