  • Addie's Thai House

    13441 Olive Blvd. Chesterfield

    314-469-1660

    A cocoon of comfort - even elegance -hidden in a Chesterfield strip mall. The menu at Addie's Thai House generally hews to the template of St. Louis-area Thai restaurants, but it's worth veering off course to try one of the house specialties - like gang kua ped yang, an incredible red curry with duck breast, or soft-shell crab pan-fried in a garlic-pepper sauce. If the other dishes are conventional, they are no less outstanding, especially the assertive green curry. Without question, one of St. Louis' best Thai restaurants.

  • Ariake Japanese Steakhouse

    McMenamy Road & Mid Rivers Mall Drive St. Peters

    636-397-1144

    With its origins strongly rooted in St. Louis' former top-flight Japanese restaurant, Robata, Ariake Japanese Steakhouse combines a teppanyaki steak house, where your meal is cooked at your table, with a full sushi bar and a Thai restaurant. While the Japanese menu focuses mostly on the various meats and seafood that will be sizzled right where you sit, such as their filet mignon or lobster, the Thai side turns its culinary attention more toward the sauces and curries that flavor your dish. In addition to the usual pad Thai and stir-fried items, Ariake's Thai menu includes a crispy catfish and garlic frog legs with a spicy sauce. Their sushi menu offers sashimi, rolled sushi and a variety of specialty rolls.
  • Aroy Thai

    1140 Central Park Drive, O'Fallon Belleville/ Fairview Heights

    618-628-1000

  • Asia

    999 N. 2nd St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-881-7777

    Asia reflects only a sliver of the titular continent's size and cultural variety. Instead it focuses on those countries many might think of when they hear the phrase "Asian cuisine": China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand. Sushi is prepared well, though the fish itself is merely good, not outstanding. Entrées lean toward Chinese and Chinese-American dishes like General Tso's chicken; house specialties include Peking duck and an excellent Cornish hen dish. The Cornish hen is one of the few values on a relatively high-priced menu.

  • Baan Thai Express

    711 Olive St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-588-7288

  • Bamboo Bistro

    214 N. Fourth St. St. Louis - Riverfront

    314-241-8884

    The friendly staff and large dining area provide a quick-fix for downtown 9-to-5ers looking for their midday meal. The lunch buffet offers a taste of the popular menu items at an affordable price. The regular menu includes a large variety of Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese choices, including spring rolls, kung pao chicken and curry vegetable tofu.
  • Basil Spice

    3183 S. Grand Blvd. St. Louis - South Grand

    314-776-1530

    A welcoming environment for the familiar pleasures of Thai cuisine. The staff is friendly, and the dishes are made with quality ingredients and thoughtful attention to detail. The menu features the expected lineup of curries, stir fries and fried-rice dishes. Gang Mussa-Muhn Nuah curry, with peanuts as well as pineapple chunks and tamarind juice is sweet, tart and delicious. The traditional Tom Kha Gai soup is very good. The menu includes a dozen vegetarian dishes and a weekday lunch special.

  • Basil Thai Cuisine

    325-327 Lincoln Highway Belleville/ Fairview Heights

    618-624-9100

  • Blue Elephant

    7816 Forsyth Blvd. Clayton

    314-862-0500

    This cozy spot in downtown Clayton serves up the usual Thai suspects with flair. Roasted boneless duck breast with red curry is one of the "house specialties" -- crisp skin outside, moist, succulent and meaty inside, with a sauce that provides a nice, not-too-spicy counterbalance to sweet chunks of pineapple and tomato and fresh basil leaves. Thai barbecued chicken is a tasty, mild and b-i-g half a bird. The heat in the salmon in green curry sneaks up on you, unfolding its layers of flavor -- and that's the appeal of a Blue Elephant meal: a harmony of flavors that are simultaneously subtle and complex.

  • Bobo Noodle House

    278 N. Skinker Blvd. University City

    314-863-7373

    The new venture from restaurateur Zoë Robinson and chef Ny Vongsaly, who have collaborated at I Fratellini and the late Zoë Pan-Asian Café, is the perfect restaurant for its location across the street from Washington University: an inexpensive but stylish noodle restaurant. Vongsaly draws upon the familiar flavors of Southeast Asia - lemon grass, curry, fish sauce - sometimes, as in the excellent beef pho with butternut squash and red curry, in unexpected combinations. The spare ribs and pork spring rolls are dynamite appetizers, and the lemongrass beef over chilled sesame noodles is a standout main course. Delivery available during dinner hours.

  • Chao Baan

  • Fork & Stix

    549 Rosedale Ave. St. Louis - Skinker/DeBaliviere

    314-863-5572

    Call 314-863-5572 for takeout.

    Fork & Stix is a hidden gem: a terrific, unique Thai restaurant tucked behind an unassuming storefront on a dead-end side street at the eastern edge of the Delmar Loop. Unlike most Thai eateries here and elsewhere, the menu features dishes from the country’s north. Khao soi is a curry-noodle soup with egg noodles and steak (or chicken) in a deeply, complexly flavorful broth. Add red onion, pickled cabbage and lime juice for one of the best soups you’ll ever taste. Hung lay curry is another standout, a sweet-and-sour pork dish that’s almost certainly unlike from any other curry you’ve tried. Classic Thai favorites such as red and green curries and pad Thai are also available (and excellent).

  • Ginger Bistro

    6665 Delmar Blvd. University City

    314-222-2588

    This cavernous restaurant in the Delmar Loop describes its cuisine as "pioneering Asian fusion." Fans of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese cuisine will likely describe the dishes as defanged. Few dishes provide much flavor, let alone the vast array of vibrant flavors that any one of the aforementioned cuisines have to offer. Fortunately, Ginger Bistro is located only a short walk or drive from restaurants that serve the genuine article.

  • The King & I

    3157 S. Grand Blvd. St. Louis - South Grand

    314-771-1777

    A mainstay of South Grand Boulevard's impressive array of ethnic restaurants, the King & I has introduced countless St. Louisans to Thai cuisine. The menu offers several dozen selections, and all your Thai favorites are present: pad thai and other noodle dishes; fried rice; the classic tom yum and tom kha soups. The red and green curries are very good. (As always, hotter is better, but the kitchen will tweak to your preference.) The restaurant is an ideal spot for families looking for a more adventurous destination, with a few crowd-pleasing Chinese dishes and a brief, Western kids' menu.

  • The Lobby Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton

    100 Carondelet Plaza Clayton

    314-863-6300

    Clever, persuasive New American dishes built on a foundation of classics. For a light meal, order a couple of fanciful appetizers in place of an entrée. If you're in the mood for more substantial fare, try one of the superb game dishes, such as rabbit or pheasant. For a finale, order any sweet thing that's red and ripe -- strawberry shortcake, say, or a pear poached in zinfandel.

  • Manee Thai

    481 Lafayette Center Manchester/ Ballwin

    636-256-8898

    Compared with most other local Thai restaurants, Manee Thai is unexpectedly elegant and airy, with about 25 well-spaced tables in a room of soft-tan walls and stone-tile floors. The menu features a dozen house specialties, generally ranging in price from $11-$15, supplemented with elaborate daily specials. Another menu category features the dozen standards -- pad thai and so on -- found in most Thai restaurants, as well as a few unusual choices, all made with a choice of chicken, beef, pork, tofu or vegetarian ingredients.

  • Noodles & Company

    1784 Clarkson Road Chesterfield

    636-728-1580

Best of all, you can customize your meal to your heart's content, creating the expected (an "Indonesian Peanut Sauté" with chicken, say) or the, um, unique ("Wisconsin Mac & Cheese" with shrimp?). Whatever you choose, for not very much money -- and in very little time -- you'll enjoy a tasty and pretty dang healthy meal. See listings for additional locations above and under "South."

  • Ocha Thai & Japanese Cuisine

    12967 Olive Blvd., St. Louis Creve Coeur

    314-434-3455

    Located in a strip mall between Creve Coeur and Chesterfield in west St. Louis County, Ocha Thai & Japanese Cuisine offers diners a broad selection of crowd pleasers. The Thai menu features more — and more interesting — selections than does its Japanese counterpart. Basic curry and noodle dishes are satisfying, but consider the nam tok beef: spicy, citrusy grilled flank steak with red onion and cilantro. The Japanese fare includes a sushi bar, of course, though the selection is relatively limited: nigiri sushi and (in comparison with most other sushi bars in town) relatively restrained Americanized rolls. A few teriyaki and tempura-battered and fried Japanese dishes are also available.

  • Rearn Thai

    7910 Bonhomme Ave. Clayton

    314-725-8807

    Tucked into the ground floor of a small office building in downtown Clayton, Rearn Thai provides big doses of authentic Thai flavor. The menu runs the expected gamut: soups, curries and stir-fries. A bowl of tangy thom kha soup is a welcome treat in either hot or cold weather; the red curry is especially terrific, its blend of sweet, savory, salty, sour and (if you ask for it) heat perfectly balanced. The pad-heavy lunch menu is popular with Clayton office dwellers, and after one of the restaurant's powerful Thai iced coffees, you might find yourself with a new favorite coffeehouse

  • Sen Thai Asian Bistro

    1221 Locust St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-436-3456

    Out with the old Sen Thai and in with the new bistro, in a new location on the first floor of the historic Shell Building. The menu is greatly expanded to include Japanese and Chinese entrées such as miso soup, the cold noodle dish zaru soba and tempura. Also offered are spicy salads, hot and cold noodle bowls and the expected Thai dishes. Prices are still reasonable, but the new location should draw a different downtown crowd.

  • Simply Thai

    2470 N. Highway 67 Florissant

    314-921-2179

    A small, no-frills restaurant - one room, paper napkins, no liquor license - Simply Thai happens to turn out fantastic Thai dishes both familiar and exotic. Curries are fantastic, especially the rich, complexly spiced massaman curry and the fiery green curry. (Be warned: The kitchen might very well deliver the latter spiced as hot as you think you want it.) Tom yum and tom kha soups are great, too, as is the less-familiar gang jued tofu, a clear broth with tofu, ground meat, cilantro and scallions. Specials include numerous seafood dishes, and do not miss the fried sweet potato appetizer.

  • Stir Crazy Café

    10598 Old Olive Street Road Creve Coeur

    314-569-9300

    The pan-Asian fare at this sleekly decorated spot belies the restaurant's chain identity (there are about a half-dozen other Stir Crazy outlets, most near Chicago). Dishes are freshly and confidently prepared, if a bit same-old-same-old: Standards include potstickers, sesame chicken and pad Thai. But there's some surprising pizzazz to be found in the desserts (do not miss the banana wontons or the "Asian" tiramisu) and the create-your-own-stir-fry bar.
