Gai Noi, which opened in Loring Park in May 2023, is the only Minnesota restaurant to make the Times' list of America's 50 best restaurants. My home state is on this list, food from my birth country is on this list!" Ahmed: "Gai Noi came from a type of grain of rice that is unique from the region that my family is from in Laos. We just closed at the end of March of this year so that we could open up Gai Noi." Gai Noi is open Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and can host special events and private dining.
