A perfect place to Thai one on..
The Scene
Thai restaurants have proliferated in the United States since the 1980s, and even conservative St. Louisans have developed a taste for Thai dishes distinctively flavored with curry, coconut and cilantro. This spot, one of St. Louis' long-time favorites, is part of the international dining scene stretched out along a few blocks of South Grand.
The Food
Pork and chicken satays, skewered strips of marinated, grilled meat served with peanut and cucumber sauces, are popular choices. More intrepid diners should try the exotic papaya salad, in which the pear-shaped fruit is shredded and tossed with tomato, dried shrimp, peanuts, garlic and chiles. Try the perilously habit-forming pad Thai, the country's national dish of stir-fried rice noodles flavored with garlic, chiles and nam pla, a salty, fermented fish sauce.

Wow...Now that's Hot!. I ordered 3 Kings of Thiland and added the phrase "make it hot" - it's a good thing that I love spicy food! What a dish... I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. Great cuisine!

Decent food, horrible service.
Not a 10 at all.
The fish cakes were small and dry, green curry was very good, and the pad thai was decent but a bit too sweet.
And the service was terrible -- slothful, inattentive, indifferent.... Next time, you'll find me back at Pho Grand.

Great Thai. Excellent food; best place to go with a large group of people. Dishes are easy to share so everyone can try several entrees and appetizers.

Carryout experience. Having moved from Chicago, with a ton of good Thai restaurants, was really looking forward to getting good Thai food here. What a disappointment. The chicken Pad See Ew was bland, didn't have much chicken and the brocolli seemed soggy. Overpriced for what I got.
