Bangkok Thai Deli, September 2026 (St. Paul, MN)
I was startled recently to see that we had not been to Bangkok Thai Deli in over two years. Along with On’s Kitchen, Bangkok Thai Deli had been one of our Thai mainstays in the Cities forever—we’ve been eating there since we arrived in 2007, back when they were still in their original, pokier location. I hasten to add that we did not stop eating there because we stopped liking their food. It’s just that the summer of 2024 is when we first ate at Hot Grainz, and they’ve done such a hoodoo on our palates that it’s been hard to go anywhere else in the Twin Cities for Thai food since then. But a return to Bangkok Thai Deli was long overdue; and so when other family business pulled us not too far from University Avenue last Saturday we decided to combine it with lunch at our old favourite with friends who live in the area. I am very glad to say that the meal did not disappoint. Here’s how it went.
