Description

Hidden in the back of Calhoun Square, Chiang Mai Thai is one of the least likely of all possible restaurants: a stylish, contemporary northern-Thai spice rainbow featuring a wine list to make California collectors swoon. This treat is the product of owner Charles Lodge, who believes that his big-volume restaurant may as well also provide a playground for everyday people who don't ordinarily get to play in the wine big leagues. What to pair with your big-deal wine? Very reliable, boldly flavored, big and plain country Thai cooking, mainly. Of course, you can also get an $9 pad thai with your beer. Whatever your poison, Chiang Mai's odd combination of crowd-pleasing food and connoisseur-pleasing beverage has resulted in a hopping time for all.

  • 2006 | BEST TAKEOUT

    No babysitter? No bright lights, no big city. Nope, not unless you make the trek to Chiang Mai Thai, sighing just ever so remorsefully at its arty, wood-lined dining room and the memory of your evenings traipsing through its bargain-studded wine list, as you pick up your food at the bar and drive home to your own cluttered and overly familiar surroundings. If you've hit this stage of life, dear reader, then you'll be grateful to know that the laab esan, a ground-meat salad enlivened by lime... More »

  • 2005 | BEST THAI RESTAURANT

    Admittedly, there are several great Thai places in the Twin Cities. One may have the best pad Thai, while the other offers the best curries, and another makes the best spring rolls. But for the overall package time and again, we always wander back to Chiang Mai Thai. It has the looks, the great service, the drinks, and the dishes. Located in Calhoun Square in Uptown, the spacious interior is a tasteful marriage of traditional Asian meets Yakuza gangster-movie posh. Trendsters and suburban... More »

  • 2004 | BEST THAI RESTAURANT

    Here's a word to the wise: If you aren't prepared to participate in a sunrise duel, then don't ask a Twin Citian what the best Thai restaurant in town is. Yes, feelings run just that high. For us, though, when we're off the clock, there's only one place we head to: Chiang Mai Thai, the elegant Uptown Northern Thai joint. Once we're seated it's often nigh impossible to settle on appetizers: Of course, the cashews tossed with oyster sauce, chiles, and cilantro are just spicy enough, just salty... More »

  • 2003 | BEST WINE LIST

    There are so many good wine lists in the Twin Cities nowadays, trying to pick between some of our beloveds--Café Barbette's European cheapies, W.A. Frost and Company's deep back catalog, and Heartland's stash of restaurant-only allocations--is like trying to choose hotel pools from among a dozen in a resort's brochure. They all look great! And yet swimming through Jon Provenzano's list of a hundred-plus everyday wines is a singular joy, because not only are they chosen so well for... More »

  • 2002 | BEST THAI RESTAURANT

    Sometimes, when you're not looking, a restaurant will go and hit its stride. And that's precisely what northern Thai specialists Chiang Mai Thai went and did last year. The appetizer list is full of enough comforts to be reassuring (try fresh spring rolls filled with savory curried beef tenderloin) and enough surprises to keep things interesting (spicy cashews fried with chile peppers and cilantro). Curries are newly harmonious. Pad thai is perfectly springy, well-stocked with peanuts and... More »

  • 2002 | BEST WINE BAR

    What makes a good wine bar, anyway? Well, the wine, of course. It doesn't matter how friendly the servers, how inviting the room--if there isn't some exciting, interesting wine at the end of the journey, why bother? Absurdly, that criterion actually knocks out most of our stand-alone wine bars with their god-awful, lowest-common-denominator lists. But with spectacular wine often comes spectacular pricing, so that knocks out another tier of contenders. Who's still standing? Remove that one... More »

  • 2000 | BEST THAI RESTAURANT

    Yes, this Uptown start-up has consistency troubles, but there's some fatal flaw at every Thai restaurant in town, and Chiang Mai is the only one that combines evocative bamboo décor in a charming, sepia-toned room with excellent fish specials (like a grilled salmon crisply glazed with lime dressing), solid noodle dishes (especially the potent fire noodles with Thai basil), unforgettable appetizers (like the nam prig crudité platters), festive cocktails, and an excellent beer...
