I called and ordered spicy drunken noodles.
However it wasn't spicy very much or at all but more on the sweeter side. While I understand it's a family owned restaurant, they shouldn't have a kid taking orders. Because she didn't ask me how spicy I wanted it, which you can do if ordering from their site. Probably won't go back.

Small eat in place with friendly, family atmosphere. There was a lot of take out going on. Second time here and sooo good. I had the red shrimp curry and my boyfriend had broccoli and veggies with shrimp… delicious! We will definitely be back!
The boat noodle here is one of the best you can find in the Twin Cities. I always come here just for this one dish. Their egg rolls come in good quantity and also tastes amazing. Very small restaurant unfortunately so it can be difficult finding a seat during busy times. This place gets a 4.5 star in my books.
One of the best spots for DELICIOUS Asian food. The Boat noodle is so delicious. The amount of protein given is a lot. The pad thai, drunken noodle, silver noodle dishes are amazing. I just discovered the dry noodle dish. It's now my favorite! The owner is very pleasant to be around. Highly recommend if you want delicious Asian food.
Got the boat noodles, some of the best broth I’ve had in a while. Truly a hole in the wall, and a gem! Appreciated how quickly a table was cleared for us, and how quickly the food came out. Soup had plenty of meat in it, excellent flavor.
This is a small family owned Thai restaurant that has amazing food. I’ve had the boat noodles many times and it’s always outstanding. The pad see ew is packed with flavor and the samosa are a nice starter. Check it out if you want some authentic Karen/Thai food!
The best meal I've had in recent history. One of my favorite restaurants! It's a hole-in-the-wall (in the best way). The food is fresh, authentic, and bursting with delicious flavor. Very reasonable prices.
We had the Tom Yum soup with chicken (you can choose your protein, including tofu as an option), and the fish, #20. Both were excellent. The fish was out of this world; seriously one of the best dishes I've ever had. The broth was incredibly flavorful, so of course we couldn't let any go to waste and put it on the rice. It's a whole fried tilapia - if you aren't used to eating whole fish, be prepared to remove the bones as you go (very easy once you get the hang of it). It was smothered with red and green bell peppers and onions, and some of the most delicuous broth I've ever tasted. I've also had their pad thai in the past, also very good.
They ask how spicy you want your food, and since this place seems very authentic, we erred on the side of "mildly spicy," which was perfect. They also have chili oil and pepper flakes on the table if you want to add more spice.
I want to try every dish on their menu, but I don't think anything could be better than the fish. I'll probably dream about it!
You can dine in or do takeout. The restaurant is small - humble but cozy. Note that they don't have a bathroom, but the waiter said patrons can go next door to Subway to use theirs. Overall, Karen Thai is a 10/10!!!
