1st time costumer… Honestly, THE best chicken I’ve had prepared in any way. Ordered the Thai Set to go on my way back into town. Absolutely delicious! And the sticky rice and salad were amazing as well. I’ll be back for sure. Next time I’m Eating at the restaurant tho. Already looking at the menu for next time!
Very delicious and really good customer service. I was so impressed with my first visit I'll definitely be back...and probably going up in spice levels 😎💪🔥. They got something for everyone here.
My wife and I had the MN Hot Chicken Sandwich with fries, a sprite in a glass bottle, and a Thai Tea. The sandwiches and fries were well presented and tasted amazing. The breading on the chicken was very crispy and well seasoned, the sauce that they use is very tasty, and the cabbage just gave it that extra nice flavor. The only thing is I would definitely try the chicken sandwich again but go up to the next level of heat because it was not spicy at all. But, with that said, it was still amazing. The fries were very well seasoned and hit hard with the chicken. VERY GOO!! 8 out of 10, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good spot.
We ate lunch here today and loved it! Staff is super friendly, service is quick and our food was so tasty! I got the amigo tacos and my husband got the chicken mac. Everything was seasoned well and you can taste the freshness. They brought us a sample of the orange chicken while we were eating and we’ll be back to get that next time, SO good!
I can’t say enough good things about this place! We had the wings as an appetizer and they were excellent!! Ordered the chic n curry and it was perfect!! My husband ordered the hot chicken sandwich and the lemon chicken coconut soup. Both were delicious and very flavorful! This is a hidden gem here in Brainerd!! We will definitely be back!!
Wonderful food and service! The food came out so quick and they have complementary tea and lemon water. We got the butterfly pea lemonade and it was lovely. We got the cluckin’ hot and regular chicken sandwiches with fries and Mac and cheese. Both sides were delish! Love the color scheme in here as well. The only thing I wish to see is them busier on a Saturday!
Excellent food, outstanding service and a comfortable atmosphere. We tried the lemon chicken coconut soup, chick N fries, chick N dumplings & the rotisserie chicken.. also COMING SOON to their menu!… chicken lettuce wraps!! All of it was amazing!! Highly recommend. We will be back soon Gluten Free AND Vegan options available.
Update: Returned in June 2026 and the quality was consistent with last year. The new addition to the menu of the matcha latte is great - so delicious and made with real milk...not powdered milk! If you love Peruvian chicken, check out this place! The food tasted extremely fresh, well priced, and great portions! I can't eat a lot of gluten and was pleasantly suprised with all of the gluten free options. I liked it so much I dined twice this week! Met the owner Em who took so much pride in his restaurant - you can tell he loves serving delicious food to the community. Will return again soon.
It’s awesome to see some more diverse food options in Brainerd. We had the chicken curry (Thai style) and the lettuce crunch wraps, which were incredible. The boss let us try some of his spicy sauces that he makes from scratch. If you like spice, you’ll love this place! Non-spicy options also fantastic. We’ll be back soon!
I was so stoked to have this place open in Brainerd. As someone with a food allergy an entire restaurant dedicated to chicken that isnt soaked in grease? Say less. I’ve had a number of dishes, but keep going back to the “ultimate crunch” - 3 fresh lettuce wraps with a sweet crispy chicken, pico, avocado, and a side. The curry is a winter favorite. Staff is great. Self service with a twist. And the owner is awesome. Asian/American food. My favorite lunch spot in the downtown.
