Fresh and delicious! The green papaya salad was delightful and the veggie fried rice had more fresh vegetables than any fried rice I've ever seen.

Manee Thai is fantastic! Their lunch specials can't be beat. Great prices and so much flavor. My favorite is the Spicy Garlic, which is subtle and savory. The people there are so nice and helpful. Great for sit down or take out!

The lunch specials available weekdays, except Tuesday, are consistently amazing due to the standout entrée choices.
The Broccoli Chicken Stir Fry is perhaps the most universally palatable for guest diners of various or unknown culinary backgrounds, but the Spicy Basil Pork Stir Fry and Spicy Eggplant Chicken Stir Fry are the best.
The Chicken & Rice soup that comes with the lunch specials is very simple, but satisfying, and should offer plenty of carbs for anyone looking to fill up on those even before the accompanying Cream Cheese Angel and Crispy Spring Roll. Those who like American-style Crab Rangoon will be quite satisfied with the Cream Cheese Angel and those who prefer spring rolls also will not be disappointed. Both appetizers that are included with all lunch specials go perfectly with their house-made sweet and sour.
For those who must have even more carbs in their entrée as well, the Basil Fried Rice is the best, followed by the Thai Fried Rice and then third would be the Drunken Noodle. If wanting to find a sweet rather than savory or spicy option, the Pad See-U may satisfy even though the sweetness is rather cloying for a main dish, but it will in any case be vastly superior to the sticky rice or pudding dessert options which are not up to the standards of the rest of their cuisine.
Please note, at this time the Sunday lunch specials are the same serving sizes but at higher prices. Servings for the above entrées outside lunch are instead shareable sizes equivalent to regional American Chinese Large (or even some Family) portion sizing, yet lack the appetizer and soup accompaniments. Of the additional options available outside the lunch selections, I would actively avoid the duck as these were excessively dry and tough (which is impressive in that I've never had dry duck before from anywhere else, but it is still no more appetizing than dry chicken or dry turkey). All entrées come with white rice.
If dining outside the lunch special hours or wanting something other than their regular entrées, the Thai Sukiyaki Big Bowl, Thai Wonton Soup Big Bowl, and Tom Yum Soups are each meals of a distinctively varied palate respectively their own. The Tom Kha Soup is also worth trying for those who simply must have creamy, rather than clear, broth. All of these come in shareable size portions that are likely beyond what most individuals would want to eat alone (though the Small size of the Soups comes closer to a meal for one, the Big Bowls do not come in Small sizes).
This location does have outside dining on a patio just south of the building, but these tables are unfortunately not available for simple takeout eating undisturbed by waitstaff if looking for a simple picnic-like experience. There is, however, a nice selection of parks both immediately across Manchester and also down Baxter from this location with picnic tables including more cover from the elements. Indoor options for seating technically include bar seats, but the bar is uncomfortable and really not used for dining generally.
The best part about this location is that there is never a shortage of parking, and also if multiple diners in a group can't agree on choice of cuisine, everyone might still enjoy a meal outside together at one of the many nearby parks at a picnic table under cover from the elements still, because a huge variety of cuisines are available in the Lafayette Center, adjacent strip malls and stand-alone buildings right here (American, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern).

I’ve been eating here for nearly 20 years, and I am VERY rarely disappointed. The food is always hot when I get it delivered and the portion size is quite big. You definitely get your money’s worth. I always order the chicken Pad Thai with zero spice, and I love it every single time. I also get the egg rolls, and holy moly, the sauce they give you to dip them in will change your world! One of my go to spots for its consistency and delicious food!

Absolutely loved this place! The customer service was excellent — everyone was super attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. I ordered the Tom Yum Noodle Soup and it was amazing! The broth was light but still full of flavor — perfect balance.
The Lemon Drop Martini was so smooth and refreshing… honestly, you could easily have a couple more 😄.
I was also really impressed by how organized the restaurant was. They even have a separate takeout station with all the to-go boxes and clearly divided sections for different ordering platforms — super efficient! Definitely one of the best Thai spots around.

Usually the food's pretty good tonight it was a disaster it was way overly salted or heavily cased with MSG unpalatable Tonight. I may give them one more shot.... At 18.00 dollar dish not good 🚫

We have been twice now - &the food was excellent both times. The first time we had Drunken Noodles and crispy spring rolls. This time it was Pad Thai & Spicy Basil stir fry- and more crispy spring rolls. Everything was hot, just the right amount of spice, and delicious. The staff are always friendly and helpful. My new favorite Thai restaurant in St. Louis County.

Food tasted like it was frozen and then heated up, there was the disgusting smell like someone pooped their pants or something. Also the waiter was rushing me to order and did not check up on me once. Also when it was time to pay the manager or the owner was begging for a tip and said the waiter relies on tips, I payed a 50 cent tip since the waiter only gets $2.50 an hour, and although the service was bad 2 fifty an hour should be illegal. Never coming back
