If you’re craving bold Thai flavors in Faribault, the menu at 1st Of Thai delivers a vibrant lineup worth exploring. The Tom Kha, a creamy coconut soup served with rice, balances tangy lemongrass and rich galangal with a savory broth - deeply comforting and aromatic. For something lighter, the Chicken Bean Thread Noodle Soup brings a delicate, homey warmth, packed with glass noodles and tender chicken that feels like a Thai grandmother’s remedy for the soul.

On the curry side, the Phanang, also served with rice, is a standout - velvety smooth with a nutty undertone, it wraps beef or chicken (your choice) in a sweet-savory blanket of coconut and red curry paste. Combination plates offer even more diversity: Combination #7 Khao Mun Kai presents poached chicken over fragrant rice with a ginger-laced sauce that’s both mellow and deeply flavorful. Combination #5, the Beef Pea Pod Broccoli, hits all the right savory-crunchy notes, while Combination #3 Chicken Pad Pak gives a satisfying stir-fry medley that’s colorful and well-seasoned.

Wash it all down with a classic Thai Iced Tea with cream - sweet, cold, and indulgent - or grab a Thai Iced Coffee for a strong, sweet caffeine kick. Soft drink options like Sprite, Mountain Dew, and iced tea are available too.
