I stopped into Ban Thai while working in White Bear Lake (Fall 2006), and I have been a regular ever since. I love the many vegetarian selections, and the vegetarian spring rolls were so fresh and tasty (the best I have ever had anywhere)...in fact, I called the owner, Oh, and asked her on two occasions to prepare orders of the spring rolls for parties at my home. My guests raved about them, and one lady wants to lunch with me in the future at Ban Thai. I have tried many other Thai restaurants, and many of them offer too greasy of an approach to their sauces. I like this place so much that I have the number programmed into my cell phone so I can order things to go on the way home. Oh takes an interest in her customers, and her little daughter, Sammi, is a delight. Oh's husband is a gracious waiter and is very proud of what his wife offers. If you haven't tried Ban Thai, you are missing a lot. Check it out!
Pros: Quiet street, free parking, great menu
Cons: Restaurant a bit noisy, but it doesn't stop me from conversing or reading
