23 Best Thai Restaurants near Kirkwood

“I’ve been sleeping on this place! Holy cow y’all. Menu isn’t huge like some other Asian restaurants but they have all the staples you’d expect. Prices are typical. Very quick to get my take out order Friday night. Crab Rangoon is LEGIT! Actual crab. I’m a crabby little crab fiend so I’ll be back here several times in the future!“

“Good Thai food. Have had better but the flavors and drinks were all on point! In my opinion the service was below average I felt very rushed from the moment I sat down with my group. A few of the orders were not quite as ordered and a fair bit of confusion.Dietary restrictions: Both Vegan and Vegetarian along with gluten free options!“

“Update: A week later...Had the Chicken Katsu Curry...*chef's kiss*Tried this place for the first time the other day... SO SO GOOD. I got the basil rice lunch special. It came with chicken & veggies, miso broth and egg rolls. Loved it. 10/10 recommend.“

“Addie's food is remarkable! Totally delicious! We've been twice now and the food does not disappoint. The service, however, is a disappointment! Both times! If the food weren't so delicious, we'd probably not go back. (E.g., we waited 13 minutes for someone to take our drinks order! The first time was at least 15 minutes).“

“This was very first time eating here. The cuisine is excellent! I had the lunch special, Generals chicken for $10.99. Fast, gracious, attentive service once you are seated. However, they never even made eye or greeted me upon arrival, or after sitting down. Make sure you initiate it or you may be "waiting to be seated" for awhile lol.“

“I've been to Zen Thai a few times now and love their food- best Thai in St. Louis, in my opinion!Their staff is incredibly friendly, which is always a huge bonus when going out to eat.I'd reccomend the Tom Yum soup, it's so delicious! I love how the broth has just the right blends of umami, sour, and spicy.In terms of appetizers, the curry puffs are one of the most delicious appetizers I've had from a restaurant. Even though they're fried, they're so light and delicious, and the sauce that comes with them is both refreshing and sweet and it's just a wonderful experience. The chicken satay is another one I order every time.Also, if you're a coffee fan, you have to try the thai iced coffee. It's so good! They also have Thai tea, which is a super unique drink if you've never had it.There's more I could say, but you'll have to check out this place yourself. Support local businesses!Dietary restrictions: Seafood items are clearly labelled for people who cannot eat seafood! Same with peanuts“

“We arrived early on Sunday morning to try a new Pho restaurant. They prepare each bowl fresh upon ordering, which makes the process a bit slower, but I appreciate the attention to detail. The Pho was not only delicious but also offered a satisfying balance of quality and quantity. In addition to that, we ordered a boba smoothie; the owner customized it perfectly to my preference for less sugar, and it was delicious. We will definitely return and recommend this place to our friends.“

“This restaurant should be a 5 star Michelin rating! I’ve eaten at many many Thai restaurants but this is true authentic Thai food. The recipe used for Massaman Beef was created by the mother-in-law of the owner and was so highly rated it was presented to the royal family of Thailand. Brian, the owner, could not be a better host!“

“The food was fantastic. I had the pineapple fried rice and the spring rolls. The pineapple fried rice was enough for 2 people. The pineapple tasted fresh and sweet. The spring rolls were light and the sauce was perfect. The service was great.“

“Thai Orchid is still our favorite Thai restaurant in St. Louis. Every dish is full of flavor and the staff are always so pleasant. Our Go-to orders are Thai Fried Rice 2 star spicy, Pad See Ew 3 star spicy, and Pad Thai 2 star spicy... and they serve the best mango and sweet rice here. ❤❤“

“I've been here twice - once for dine in and once more recently for takeout. Both were great experiences. This most recent time I wanted steamed dumplings for dinner and also got the veggie spring rolls. Everything was nice and hot. The spring rolls were crisp and not at all oily. The steamed dumplings were soft and tender. Everything tasted amazing, including the sauce/dip that comes with each. Even the soy-based sauce, which is often just soy sauce at most places, was clearly several steps up from that and had great depth of flavor. Definitely recommend.“

“The Thai food scene in STL has been in dire straits recently, with Chao Baan falling off hard and King & I departing for the county. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw Thai Kitchen was opening nearby.My meal last night was excellent. The yellow curry was rich with just the right spice level, and the rangoons were delicious. This will be my go-to Thai takeout spot from now on.Only issue is that their pickup procedure is a little unclear. It's supposed to be a no-contact pick-up, where you get your food from a locker in the lobby (unlocked via a check-in kiosk). But I guess Thai Kitchen isn't using that system, so I had to wait around a bit to ask someone for my food.“

“This place was great. Nice clean inside and food was awesome! Super friendly staff, even on a Tuesday. This place was empty when we showed up right at 5, but quickly filled up. Obvious we arent the only ones that liked it. Super affordable for the large portion sizes. Lunch will be great “

“I’ve tried many Thai restaurants around the city. This is MY FAVORITE!!! The food is amazing. It’s authentic. The owner is wonderful. She’s so kind and sweet. She personally takes care of us when we visit. The entire staff is friendly as well. You need to visit and try the food and Boba. The owner makes her own all natural Boba too!“

“I live laugh love Ocha. Anytime I am able to suggest where to go eat, I always say Ocha. The family that owns the establishment is extremely lovely. I have never felt sick after eating here, and it's been many years! The atmosphere is nice, it's nothing flashy but it feels very homey. The place is always very tidy. The service (in my experience) has always been great and the food always comes quickly. The prices are also affordable. If your in Saint Louis definitely come here!!“

“The absolute best Hot and Sour Soup anywhere! Such wonderful and friendly people who operate it as well. They will do special orders if they aren't too busy. A lot of wonderful things on the menu that you don't find at other Chinese restaurants.“

“This is a tiny neighborhood restaurant with inexpensive dishes. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. There were plenty of parking out front. They had mediocre decor and ambiance. I would recommend a quick lunch at this restaurant if you crave thai food.“

“Local spot for just Asian food. Sounds generic to call it generic, but this place has the biggest menu I have ever seen at an Asian restaurant. There is so many Sushi options - rolls, sashimi, a decent Thai menu, Chinese cuisine options, traditional Japanese cuisine items and more! And, if that isn't enough, there were three boards on the wall with another ~20 options AND a flip board on the table with at least that many more! Honestly, it was bit overwhelming, but not in a bad way. Service was very efficient and almost overly attentive. Super quick service and food delivery. I went with the all-you-can-eat lunch for $15 - miso soup (3.75/5): pretty decent. Traditional. - Thai spring rolls (3.75/5): serving of 3. Seemed freshly made vs frozen. Lots of cabbage. Decent. - tempura shrimp roll: (4.25/5) really good. I would order this again. - yellowtail spicy roll: (3.25/5) Ok. Not spicy. Texture of the fish knocked it back for me. It was kind of a smashed fish vs a filet. Maybe this is traditional...? Anyhow, not my favorite roll. I would come back again.“

“Great Pad Thai and sushi. Clean dining room. Attentive staff.On one occasion,, I was there near closing and they started cleaning the restrooms and the chemicals reached our table through the air as they were spraying the tables down (terrible practice I frequently notice in restaurants - you should spray the rag directly instead while patrons are present for this exact reason). Now I just make sure I'm not there on the later side of dinner service.Parking: Practically empty lot as most (all?) of the other businesses in the same strip mall have closed.“

“Fabulous service for dinner and the food was excellent as well. I met a friend here for dinner with me arriving early. So I started off with a beer and the "Hoy Jaw" dumplings that arrived a few minutes later. Shrimp, crab, pork all mixed and served with a sweet Thai chili mix that was perfect for dipping. Yummy and it was my intention to save half for my friend, I ended up eating them all. Oops.I heard that it was the Khao Soi was the thing to have, so that's what I ordered with chicken. It was flavorful, loaded with texture and delicious. A curry soup with Thai egg noodles and greens, I'd skip the crispy egg noodles on top next time as they were in the way a lot.My friend ordered a Pad Thai, asking for "9" level of heat. He spent the first half of his meal saying that he couldn't find the hot and the second half asking for more water. Funny. So there you go.A fantastic meal in a cozy little restaurant with excellent service from all the staff. Perfect!Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious meatless options!Parking: Read the signs carefully and don't block a fire hydrant!“

“I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. I love this place! The food is always great, I have never had anything here that hasn't tasted great. The staff is always so nice and friendly. I always look forward to getting food here.“

“This is the best! I come from Thai roots as well as traveling back to Thailand and this food reminds me of my mom's cooking and her homeland. This is a family owned business and I have never had a bad experience here. The dining room isn't open and that's okay, I absolutely hate reading negative reviews around their dining area not being open. If you give 1 star because of that, get over yourself and your ego. These people are amazing and have the best food! My new favorite has been the Nam Sod (chicken salad). So tasty and spicy. You can never go wrong with their curries or drunken noodles.“

“I have been going here since I was 2 years old and Thai country cafe has never failed to produce the BEST shrimp pad Thai AND crab Rangoon in St. Louis. Their food continues for 16 years to be fresh and had not changed in taste. I will always come here❤️“
