Everything at Khâluna blends together in a beautiful way: from the flower motifs in the food and decor, to the beachy atmosphere of the restaurant and seafood-inspired dishes, to the carefully chosen plates and stoneware that evoke an oceanic, breezy vibe, all is purposeful. The staff here particularly stand out as accommodating and friendly, there to provide their recommendations as well as show you how to eat the dishes. I enjoyed a house punch, and the sakoo appetizer, which is a delicious, chewy and umami bite that quite honestly, might have been one of the best dishes I've tried this year. The scallop crudo is paired with a rich acidic and spicy broth that's refreshing and light. For my entree I did the laksa, which has delicious shrimp, tofu, and a softboiled egg. To finish, I had the pistachio orange blossom cake, which was served hot and with a generous portion of the mousse. Lots of delightful textures in that dessert - crunchy, crackly bits on top along with a spongey moist c

Made reservations for Khaluna in Minneapolis during a visit over the weekend, and I am so glad that we did because this restaurant is definitely popular, vibrant, and reservations are required. We were greeted and taken to our table upon arrival. The restaurant overall has a very open vibe, with a bar and natural light flowing in, almost giving the feeling of an outdoor environment. Once we arrived at our table, we ordered some cocktails. Definitely looks like a very creative cocktail menu. I started with the Sunset in Luang, which was almost like a gin based martini with Japanese gin, sake, and nori liqueur. Refreshing, delicious and adventurous. We got the baby gem salad for the table, with a really nice miso citrus vinaigrette and kumquat. We did skip the quail egg. The salad was very refreshing and a good start to the meal. For main dishes, we chose the duck fried rice, which can also be made gluten free. It was very flavorful with a lot of shredded confit duck. Very creative d

Had a great experience here trying a variety of dishes. The Sakoo was really unique and delicious paired with their in-house orange hot sauce, which is definitely something you should try. That orange sauce was honestly the highlight for me paired with Stick rice. It had the perfect spicy kick for people who enjoy spice, while still being super flavorful and addictive. We also had the red curry chicken, which was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the presentation of the dishes was beautiful. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even better. Definitely a great place if you enjoy flavorful food, unique dishes, and good spice levels. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

Came here to celebrate a birthday and had such a great meal. All the servers were very friendly. We asked for recommendations and could not have been happier. The star of the dinner was the massaman curry, one of the best curries I have had in the city. Duck fried rice was also delicious. Can’t go wrong with anything here. Plus the inside was one of the prettiest restaurants I’ve been too in a long time. 10/10 if you’re thinking about going here do it you won’t regret it!

What a fun place to meet up with friends! The best part? I felt so comfortable and cozy in this restaurant. It’s very boho and warm. We were a group of 4 and the restaurant has a family shareable experience with their entrees so we each got something different. We ordered the fried rice, French toast, wings and biscuits and gravy. It was super delicious! We also ordered drinks and my favorite part was that they serve a spoonful of their sticky rice as soon as you sit down. It was SO good that we raved about it and they brought us a second serving. The waitress was delightful and so kind. We had never been there for brunch so she did a wonderful job explaining the menu. We spent a few hours there eating and talking and we never felt rushed. The worst part? I don’t have really anything to add here. I’m not sure if I missed the parking lot but I found street parking easily. Prices are a little higher here but worth it in my opinion.

We were greeted by a very nice gentleman and a lady at the host stand. We did not have a reservation on a Saturday night but they were able to squeeze Us in as a table of two in a very nice place outside. It was a little bit windy but overall the experience was great. Nick, our server, was top notch. Definitely a person at the top of his craft that enjoys his work and takes it seriously. Next time we are in there we are going to request to be seated in his section if possible. He went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our very first experience there. The food is put together quite well and is unique in the best ways is possible. Compliments to the James Beard award-winning chefs; you deserve the award. Thank you very much to everyone who took care of us and we will be back to see you all soon.

Walked in for a random brunch, got seated right away out on the patio, beautiful weather. Great customer service, saw the floor manager table touching, which was great! Great food! We got the pork belly and the side of pickled veggies really helps balance out the fattiness of the pork belly. The duck confit congee, oh that duck got undress from its bone so easily! You gotta add in the chili oil, it really makes the dish sings! The surprising item was the popped rice on the dish to add a great crunch texture to a soft broken rice dish.

We had an enjoyable time at Khaluna. The space is gorgeous-- light and airy. I loved all the plants and the lught wooden textures all around. The food is less Lao (which is what I was looking forward to) but more just general Southeast Asian. That said, we loved everything we had. We enjoyed the free introductory non alcoholic sangria! What a way to begin the culinary adventure. I had the Mango Fish which is salmon in a chili tamarind glaze topped with mango salad. It was so flavorful and layered wuth textures and light spices. I always say, if you're paying a premium for salmon, it has to have added flavor than just a baked salmon. This is my new gold standard for salmon dishes. Another textured dish is the duck fried rice. They add crispy duck skin and puffed rice for extra crunch. It can get a little salty after a while, so break it up with another dish. We have always liked Chef Ann Ahmed's basil fried chicken wings and this is very similar to her wings at Gai Noi. There are pl
