“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.“
“I've lived in Saint Louis for about a year and a half and am moving this week. I've been to iNDO 3 times since moving here. It is probably my favorite restaurant of all time. I came as a final goodbye tonight and it was so bittersweet! I can't believe this place isn't rated higher on Google. Absurd. The food has layers of flavor, is interesting, fresh, and always so well done. Dishes are clearly so well thought out, with visual, textural, and flavorful elements that just scratch an itch in your brain. The quality of the sashimi is superior. I sometimes forget we're in Saint Louis because man, that is some good fish. The service also never misses, with knowledgable staff and perfect coursing of dishes. Thank you to everyone working there for giving me such fond memories!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“The food was hot and delicious.The service was excellent; very attentive and knowledgeable.Very, very clean and comfortable atmosphere.The only unfortunate business process was that they charge a percentage of you pay using debit/credit card. If you pay using cash is not an issue.I will be a returning customer paying with cash.“
“Basil India makes some of the most flavorful Indian food I've had in recent memory. Every dish I've tried is bursting with flavor, and is served temperature-hot, and spicy-hot (if you please). Vegan options are few, but those they do have are excellent. The wait staff are friendly and attentive.Yet I don't enjoy hanging out in the restaurant. It is too brightly lit (at certain tables, you feel spotlighted), the furniture is not comfortable, and, worst of all, it is loud. You will hear clamor from the kitchen, the loud banter of other diners, and music that is turned up too high. I enjoy the food immensely, but when I dine in, I want to eat as quickly as possible so I can get out of there. It's not relaxing.If Basil India can fix the ambiance, five stars all the way! In the meantime, I will keep ordering the incomparably zesty Vegan Tikka Masala for takeout.Vegetarian options: Vegan Tikka Masala is amazingly flavorful. Lotus Seed Thai Curry is a close second.“
“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!“
“I've been here with my friends and family many times and it is the best thai food in St. Louis. The portions are generous and we have not tried a dish that wasn't awesome. Our favorites include basil fried rice, pad woon sen, and green curry.“
“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. ❤❤“
“Ocha Thai is part of my regular rotation with Uber Eats delivery. The pad Thai, yellow curry, and udon noodles are all amazing. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable and the portions large. I will miss this spot when I leave St. Louis.“
“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.“
“This evening was my first time trying Thai Nivas and I will absolutely be back! They have a very big menu. My fiancé and I both enjoyed our meal - we definitely recommend any of the curry.They had 1 server for the whole floor while hosting numerous big groups (including a party of 20+), and still made sure we got our food as efficiently as the kitchen could produce our order.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I always hear that Thai Table is one of the best Thai restaurants in St Louis and, after my first visit, can assure you that the hype is warranted!We tried it all and everything was delicious! My stand outs were the Tom Yum, Pad Thai, and the Summer Rolls.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Yum yum yum. I called ahead since there were 10 of us coming in & they had the table ready with no questions! It's a smaller area so if you do have a larger group I would definitely call ahead. Tried almost everything on the menu & it was all amazing. I don't think you can go wrong! Parking is all street parking so don't try to drive directly to the restaurant!“
“Yesterday I had an opportunity to eat here. Very welcoming, friendly, professionalism and diverse atmosphere. The service was excellent and food delicious. I love the presentation of the food when it was brought out to us. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone“
“Second time here and today, I came here for lunch. It wasn't busy. Staff was very friendly. They greeted us by bowing, I love it! Veggie spring rolls were fresh, crunchy, umami + more delicious with the red sauce. Pork bun was rich flavorful, I love it! But I was hoping to get traditional cuke salad, all I got was lots of lots of sliced cukes with giant onion pieces swimming in watery sesame oil. Also the prices skyrocketed. :/ booo.. I am hoping to get more from this cute little place next time.“
“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❤️“
“It’s truly heartbreaking to see all of the people leaving negative reviews for this restaurant. The owners are kind hearted and hardworking people who have been contributing to St. Louis’ diverse restaurant scene for years- it’s important for hole in the wall family owned restaurants like Yan Wu to exist and continue adding to the social and cultural fabric of the city, as more and more go out of business or are replaced by characterless chains. Please take a second to try and examine why you are so quick to judge a minority owned business and label the owners as “rude” due to communication barriers or assume they are talking about you when they speak in their native language rather than impulsively attempt to put another local restaurant out of business.“
“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!“
