Birthday Dining in Eagan

I'm going out this Friday with my mother-in-law who won't travel into the city after dark. Can anyone recommend anything in (southern) Eagan?

MSP: Ketsana's Replacement

It's Joy's Pattaya Restaurant if I am not mistaken. See the MSP:Thai Restaurants thread. I wrote about it.

MSP Thai Restaurants?

Has anyone else tried Joy's Pattaya Thai in Richfield? I loved it. Presentation was so pretty for what I would consider to be a hole in the wall.We had angel wings to start. I can't say I was impressed with the flavor, but for sheer astonishment at how much stuffing they could fit into a mere chicken wing, it was impressive. I should have ordered my curry a little hotter because they seem to serve it Minnesota hot without specification, but it was still delicious. The vegetables in the curry were even fancy! I had the most tender sticky rice I've ever had. My friend's shrimps with asparagus was gorgeous and fresh tasting. She ordered the pumpkin custard (I was too stuffed). It came in a quarter of a pumpkin (a little one) and the custard had been baked in the shell, with an airy coconut sauce. The custard was a little stiff for my tastes, but overall it was a unique (to my mind) presentation and texture combination. There was also a pumpkin curry as a special on the menu and while I don't know how it tasted, it was brought to another table in a carved pumpkin.

It's located at 7545 Lyndale Avenue South Richfield, MN 55423-4011 - (612) 866-0660

And I guess, yeah, I didn't eat alone.
