Thai Heaven — Restaurant in Hapeville

My review is based off of my food being delivered. I have never been at this restaurant physically.

I ordered Heaven Sample Plate and Beef Drunken Noodles.

My order was prepared and deliveree to me within 45 minutes. It arrived in a heavy brown paper bag stalles I'm both sides with an order receipt attached.

Two containers with little spillage. The food was piping hot. Literally. That's rare on food deliveries especially since I live in a neighboring city from Hapeville.

Heaven Sample Plate- 2 spring rolls, 2 dumplings, 2 crab cream cheese rolls, 2 shrimp rolls, 2 chicken on a stick along with sauces.

EVERYTHING on the sample plate was good. Omg. Everything was so flavorful.

Beef Drunken Noodles- The food was steaming hot and the aroma made me want to dig in quickly. At first glance it doesn't seem like a lot of food until you start digging in. Noodles, steak, orange green and red bell peppers and plenty of onions. I was in heaven. The taste was so amazing. A bit of sweet and savory. Goodness this was so flavorful. I am sorry I didn't order from them sooner. There was enough food here for two people or eat some now save some for later.

Side note I ate the rest the next day. I out the spring rolls in the air fryer and the noodles in the microwave. It still tasted the same....

If you are Lao or Thai you might want to avoid this place. They do not serve authentic Thai food. If you’re American looking for the Thai experience you will NOT find it here.

If you’re just in the mood for Asian ‘like’ food perhaps this is your place.

I ordered papaya salad, sesame chicken, sticky rice, drunken noodle, and mango sweet rice.

Papaya - I got sliced tomatoes...Lao/Thai knows what I’m talking about. Papaya salad is made by using a mortar (kok) not tossed like American salad. It taste only of fish sauce, lime, and pepper.

Sesame chicken - it was pretty good.

Sticky rice - it’s steamed over and over. Not fresh. Com’on! Rice is cheap at least you can do is cook a fresh batch each day.

Drunken noodles - this was okay. Nothing to tell my mom about.

Mango sticky - by far the worst I’ve ever had and I was actually offended when was I served this. Sticky rice is supposed to made with fresh rice, mix with coconut milk, salt, and sugar. And the coconut sauce on top supposed to be creamy. Instead I got supper sticky rice paste (steam over and over), topping sauce was watery and gross, and mango was not fresh.

Pictured in the post is NOT how papaya salad is supposed to look like.

Amazing Thailand in Minneapolis serves one of the best papaya salad. Check out...

Once upon a time I worked for them. I always enjoyed the thai food and sushi. When I got married, I moved north of the city and stopped working here. I searched far and wide to find another thai restaurant in my neck of the woods. There are MANY thai places up my way, but none of them could win against this place. I thought it may have to do with me being biased. Had I just gotten used to the flavors and therefore everyone else stunk i comparison? I thought this may be the case...UNTIL my mother in law came to visit the states. We took her out to our favorite spots to eat. They were all "okay." i was visiting my grandmother and thought "hey! We're in the area for thai heaven!" we stopped in to get some food to go. I got my husbands favorite dish, Extra Spicy Panang Duck. I also got my favorite, the Pad See Ew with beef. I let my mother in law choose something she may like. She settled for the combination fried rice with red snapper added in, though I tried convincing her to get the basil fried rice as that is my second favorite dish. We got home and split everything. Now Thai Heaven is the only restaurant she wants to eat at again before she leaves to go home. I had no idea she would love it so much, but it is now her favorite restaurant in...
