I LOVE the food here. They said, the service is spotty at best. My biggest issue is the cleanliness....or lack of. The floor is always disgusting. Covered in crumbs and mess. This last time I went, the server took the corner too fast and sloshed half of my soup on the floor. Didn't acknowledge it, replace my soup or apologize. My crab Rangoon was swimming in the soup that hit the plate beneath the bowl. The soup on the floor was still there when left over an hour later.
First time going to Bann Thai this evening. I was really craving Kang Karee Curry and hoped they would have a good one. Was not disappointed!! By far the best yellow curry in the edwardsville area. My son had the general tso's chicken. For an appetizer we tried the Shumai dumplings. Every thing we ordered was amazing but even better was the service. Our server Melanie was so sweet and made us laugh. So thank you not only for the best thai food I have had in years but for your amazing personality and service. We will be coming back soon and if your lucky enough to go on a night they have thai donuts they are a 10 out of 10. As far as the photos I only thought to take after I had boxed up my leftovers lol
THE best Thai food restaurant in the area! I always order a #2 heat level because if it isn’t prepared hot enough I can ask for pepper sprinkles to add in. The food is always served steaming hot and delicious. My personal favorites are Khao Soi, Red Curry, and any of the fried rice dishes. Pineapple Fried Rice has an ample amount of large shrimp but this dish is also excellent with chicken substituted for the shrimp.
The food is always AMAZING I will never go anywhere else for Thai… BUT the service was so bad this last time. I ordered for pickup and the woman on the phone was honestly just straight rude. Said “anything else” after every single thing I ordered. when I ordered the sticky sweet rice she said they only had sweet OR sticky, i asked if the sweet rice was also sticky she said “the sweet rice is sweet and the sticky rice is sticky.” She asked what protein for my drunken noodles and told me the options, when I asked what people usually get (I usually get pad Thai) she repeated the options word for word. She didn’t say bye or have a goodnight just told me my total and time and hung up. She was so rude the entire time I ordered.. it really sucks because I love this place so much and I have never gotten someone this rude. I thought about changing my protein but didn’t because I didn’t want to make her more upset. When my fiance picked up he told me how rude she was before I even mentioned it.. we both worked in food service so I thought about not writing a review but this was beyond just having a bad day.. it was just straight rude.
Very high quality food for what you're getting. It takes a lot for me to want to sit down and eat Thai, but I really feel like you can't go wrong at this location. The food is fresh, and the appetizers are fantastic. Wait times were actually very short for our orders, and the service was very good. The only downside I really saw was maybe the fountain soda was a bit off, but it was still OK.. certainly not a serious qualm and generally easily fixed. Overall, I will come back here again. I personally think this is the best Thai food in the immediate area, and there are some decent choices so that says something. Highly recommend.
Just didn’t like it must be an acquired taste
Always a great meal! Excellent curry, and good selection of cold craft beers!
Hosted an office lunch here. Great prices on lunch menu and plenty of food. Hot and Sour Soup was excellent.
Everything was on point!
Food was good. Service could be better.

Great lunch menu
Yum! Great food. Loved thier soups.
Thai manhattan is my new favorite. Basil fried rice and drunken noodles were so yummy!
I love the soups and all of the food here is great
Loved the alcoholic boba . Pad Thai and the Chicken fried rice were yummy
One of my absolute favorite spots in Edwardsville, this establishment never fails to impress. The culinary experience is consistently on point, offering a delightful blend of flavors that keeps me coming back for more. The casual atmosphere adds to the charm, creating a comfortable and relaxed setting that suits various occasions.
What truly sets this place apart is the outstanding service. The servers are not only attentive but go above and beyond to make every dining experience memorable. Their willingness to assist with any questions about the menu or accommodate special requests contributes to the overall positive and welcoming vibe.
As a regular patron, this has become a cherished stop for both my daughter and me. The familiarity and reliability of the dining experience make it a go-to choice for various occasions. Now, let's talk about the lamb dish—it's an absolute bomb! The flavors are exquisite, and it has become a signature dish that I eagerly look forward to with each visit.
In summary, this Edwardsville gem combines exceptional food, a welcoming atmosphere, and stellar service, making it a standout favorite for me and my daughter. Whether it's a special occasion or a regular dinner outing, this place consistently delivers an outstanding dining experience that keeps us coming back for more.
Delicious as always.
Alex and Justin prepared awesome dishes for our party of 20. Seamless service and delightful flavors. Great Job!
Absolutely LOVE Bann Thai! The food is amazing as well as the service. We can always count on a great meal when we come here. Definitely one of my favorites in the area!!
My go to place. Closed Monday. Eat food here.
Today was terrible. My husband ordered soup noodles for me. When I took the packed food home, there were only side dishes and soup, but no noodles. I called to let them know that they didn't give me noodles, and they asked me to go get them, which meant that it took more than 20 minutes to go back and forth. I went to get the noodles and brought them home to put in the soup. The noodles stuck together, and when I gently stirred them with chopsticks, the noodles broke into pieces and I couldn't pick them up at all. I couldn't eat it. It was so disappointing.
Good Pho
Bann Thai is my favorite restaurant. I live in Florida now and eat here anytime I’m in the area. Alex is fantastic!!!!!
Love the new booths and the food is second to none!
Great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food!
Appetizer and both dishes we tried were delicious!! The staff was friendly, professional, and quick. A wonderful experience and we will most definitely be back. Plenty of vegan options.
I was truly blown away at how delicious the Thai Fried Rice was. The plate was huge and filled with tons of veggies and chicken. We were just passing through the area, but if we lived nearby, we would definitely come back more often. Well done!
Chicken in garlic sauce

Great food. I'm driving 20 miles to eat here
4th time here with my better half. Every time i try something different and seems to be better than the previous choice. Same with the wife. Took the kids this time and they both enjoyed it as well.
Just wish it didn't take us close to 45 minutes to get there but that won't stop us from returning.

I had the Pad Thai, no spice. I thought the flavor was very good and a lot of meat. The pork egg rolls were also very good. My husband really enjoyed his meal (Pad Roumit) and he isn't one for this type of food. So much better than the other place in town.
The food is outstanding, service was great, just not a fan of the plastic table cloths
It was fabulous! Had a question about a noodle dish and got the info directly from the chef who came out to talk with us. Everything was delicious!
Food was amazing. Ordered the Drunken Noodles and they were great. They do have optional spiciness scale 1-5 or Thai Hot, found even Thai Hot fairly mild. Get the spicy tray and try the fish sauce with lime and peppers (Prik Nam Pla) on your noodles. Best sauce ever and there is hot chili paste on tray too for extra heat. Staff was super friendly. Thai pop music was interesting, but maybe a bit loud. Will eat there again when I get back to the area.
First time we ever ate Thai was here. Where on earth had we been?! Amazing food! Little hidden gem.
The best food I've ever had and I questioned whether or not I liked Thai at one point. This place changed my mind.
Food was cold. Service was bad. It took over a hour and a half to get my food
Ordered food on Sunday after SIU-E graduation, was ready in 30 minutes and everything was absolutely delicious- highly recommend
My 3d visit and will return! Food is tasty and service good.
It's okay. Didn't have one server, but three and found it confusing.
First time going to Bann Thai this evening. I was really craving Kang Karee Curry and hoped they would have a good one. Was not disappointed!! By far the best yellow curry in the edwardsville area.

Everytime I pop in from out of town, I feel like family! Amazing food and Thai tea! I taste the passion in every bite! Great cooks/staff! Thank you!
Not the best for the price at all....
SERVICE The waitress was very kind and friendly.
FOOD I ordered the lunch serving of the GREEN CURRY. I ordered as it came, (not extra spicy or mild)... Yeup, it had a kick (as expected). But it was so yummy and lots chicken (you can order your choice of protein)!
ATMOSPHERE was pleasant and I enjoyed the large plants 💚
The best Thai we've had since moving to the area (I am military, so my family has moved a lot)! Had the shrimp spring roll, the beef Jerry appetizer, beef pad thai, and the crying tiger ribeye. All were 5 star worthy. Will DEFINITELY come back, and maybe bring the kids next time ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👍❤️
Great prices good food yummy
Great food nice workers thank you 😊
I absolutely love this place!! They never fail to impress me. & they are so nice and friendly! The food taste fresh and delicious! 10/10!!! Plus they gave my bf birthday cheesecake!
Love this place. Especially the lunch special!
Although I live in St. Louis, Bann Thai is one of the things I look forward to on my to to visit friends in Edwardsville 😋❤️🍜
We had an absolutely wonderful Valentine's dinner here today. This is a review long over due. I have been eating here for 5 years since starting college at Siue. The food has always been fresh, hot, and delicious. The service has always been kind and courteous. I appreciate the use of fresh ingredients and wonderful specials to make use of seasonal ingredients. Hands down the best restaurant in Edwardsville. Thank you guys for the wonderful as always😘
Grest food and service.and atmoshphere
Delicious Thai food.
Yes! After a few years now; I finally made it in. Yum. Crab cakes & an equally delicious lunch special. A bit more of a drive from my home, but am definitely hoping for a couple visits a month here on out. Thank you for da ono grindz!
Grate food.
Everything we've had from here is great. Highly recommend the Pla Sam Ros and boozy bubble tea.
Attentive staff. Great food. The lunch portion was a perfect size.
We got the kang karee and the pad see eew. The food was fantastic. The restaurant set up and decor was so nice and the service was fantastic!! So happy we found this place!
One of our favorite spots in Edwardsville!
I LOVE BANN THAI! I’ve gone four times in the past 3 weeks and I would go more if I had more money. Their pad Thai is to die for, I’ve been ordering a 3 or a 4 (out of 5) for spice but it’s not super hot?? I love bann Thai but it’s almost always empty when I come in here!? Come here and eat it’s good prices and good food
It was really hot in there. Hard to enjoy our visit.
Great curry. I went at an odd time so there were no other guests. I enjoyed the food and the waitress was attentive. Can't complain!
My favorite restaurant
We love the Drunken Noodles here. Plus, they have water chestnuts in them (unlike at Zapp Thai).
I tried the crab and sweet corn soup special today and it was good.
The staff was friendly and the food was amazing within ten minutes our food was at our table. Also the staff was very patient they also bag your food when your done with it. They have a spice rating system with I really like how they do it like that. The price looked absurd at first but the portion was worth the price. I would definitely go there again👌
Always wonderful food. Delightful servers.
The absolute best food I've ever had. The drunken noodles omg
Their food is decent, friendly staff, although she wasn't aware about their special. 3 to 5 pm on Wednesday and Thursday they have half off appetizers and bubble tea, we received the half off on appetizers but we paid full price on the bubble tea. We didn't complain about it we just paid. They should be aware of what they charge their customers. Just make sure you check your bill.
This was not authentic Thai food by far or even a good interpretation of it. It was overly sweet or underwhelming in flavor. We had a group of 4 and all were verily disappointed, especially since there was a thai heritage present in 3 of the diners. The only takeaway was the fried beef as that was the only dish that we finished. Maybe we are spoiled by the Texas thai scene, but nonetheless this was not thai in any manner
Best pad Thai I've had.
Honestly their food is good, but service for take-out can be spotty. I called in for a meal pick up for two people. I was told it would be 20-30 minutes. I arrive ~23 minutes later but had to wait an additional 40 minutes for my food. I understand restaurants can get busy, but maybe better communication needs to happen between the front and back of house.
The food here is amazing! Very flavorful crafted dishes!
The soup comes in a huge bowl. They also ask how spicy you want your dish, so you can customize to your own tastes.
Absolutely delicious! A hidden gem in Edwardsville, give them a try!
You check this hidden gem out, you can pick how hot you want your food.
My wife and I ordered a take out meal for tonight. The fried spring rolls were mushy in the middle like they had been frozen. Pad See Ew had a strange plastic/chemical taste (like the meal was reheated in microwave in the to go container) and the chicken tasted day old. Thai wings had peanut sauce, not sweet chili sauce like the online menu states. We had also ordered a cheesecake for dessert and the cheesecake was frozen in the middle. Overall, we were very dissatisfied with our meal and threw out nearly all of it.
Best meal we have had all week while in Edwardsville. Staff very nice and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious.
Everything was amazing. They were out of fresh spring rolls, which was disappointing, but the food we got was amazing and more than enough to make 2 meals each out of.
I was visiting the area and stopped for lunch at Bann Thai and I am glad I did. Good service and delicious food. I had the drunken noodles with shrimp and they were excellent. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.
Outstanding. Some of the best food in town! Seafood soup the finest
We love Bann Thai! They've had a few issues with shortages whether it be menu items or staff but they always make a fantastic dish. We have the Prik King level 4 with random protein and fresh spring rolls and they never disappoint. They are currently having problems finding delivery drivers so you may have to pick up but it's worth it!
Food and service is outstanding. Have been there twice with some coworkers for lunch and enjoyed each meal. Fantastic food, highly recommend!
Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return!
My favorite restaurant
Delicious Thai food . Sommer roll , Pork Satay and Both noodles soup.
Great food and great staff. Highly recommend try this place.
Hands down the best Thai food I've ever had!! The basil fried rice was on another level. So much so, that the first thing I'm doing the next morning is writing a Google review... I wish there was something close to this good in Saint Charles. Thankfully we have friends in Edwardsville so I'll be back enough to get my fix!
Very good!
The food is really good and they will accommodate any changes to your food. The drunken noodle is really good we add shrimp to it. I feel its a great place for a date night it has a pleasing atmosphere. To save money buy your gift cards at sams and save 20%. Im a big curry fan and this is my second favorite thai place. My number one place is in Columbia,illinois. I review alot of place so dont forget to follow and enjoy.
I hadn't been back for several years and was very happy to rediscover Bann Thai. The food was excellent! Everything was fresh and hot and expertly prepared. The servers were professional, friendly and prompt. Now I don't have to go all the way to St. Louis for Thai, I have a great restaurant right here in Edwardsville.
Excellent food. Ready faster than expected.
Service was quick and the good tasted great. I'll be back!
Kapao with chicken is outstanding! Fried tofu, spinach, beansprout, & peanut sauce is excellent! The Thai crabcakes are wonderful too! This food is like eating happiness, you should definitely try it!
A great local Thai restaurant. The food is great and the service is great!
Menu prices aren’t accurate, expect to pay more than the menu price when receipt is given
Good food good people
This place has OK food for a lazy suburb but is extremely overpriced for its less than average quality. Don’t settle, go to St Louis for really good Thai food. This place regularly puts its phone on answering machine during heavy business hours. DO NOT SETTLE for average Thai food at an exorbitant price.
Tasty!
First time customer. The food was absolutely amazing, the environment was great. Alex was our server, very attentive and polite. Definitely will be a returning customer. Highly recommend!
Nothing special. The food was meh.
Extraordinarily good food, the curry rice and sweet and sour chicken is the noise!
Literally my favorite Thai place. Reasonably priced per person and ENORMOUS portions. I order Thai fried rice with pineapple and it's always enough for 2+ meals.
This is my new favorite place to go with my wife. She has Hashimoto's and has a very limited diet but here they can make it exactly the way she can have it. And the staff are very kind and helpful and attentive. Be careful of the spice level it can get pretty hot.
Absolutely LOVE this place, and you will too! The staff, the owners, the food, environment... All great! Can't go wrong w the red curry. Delicious, and I always look forward to the Boba teas as well!
Hands down best General Tso’s I’ve ever had. Everything is always fresh and the quality of food here is consistently the best Asian food I’ve had.
Delicious Thai cuisine with a large variety to choose from. You can pick your own spice level
One of my favorite places to eat amazing food
Edited to add: Store was already closed when I found out my food was inedible. Tried to call the number listed on Google, to no avail. Thanks for the reply, now I know the VIP number if it ever happens again.
Food is normally delicious. Great quality. Tonight was different. My noodles and meat were BURNT! Not edible at all. I would not have minded waiting an extra 20 minutes for it to be redone correctly but did not know til I got home. Should not have boxed a charred, burnt entrée
We love Bann Thai! Their Drunken Noodles & Thai Fried Rice with golden tofu are delicious.
Excellent special, Singapore Noodles! I hope this always a choice going forward!!
Great experience always.
The food is delicious — lots of curry options! We like the option of being able to select a different protein in each dish. We’ve eaten inside, ordered pickup, and scheduled delivery — we’ve had the best luck going inside to eat (fast, accurate, courteous, etc…). The last delivery we scheduled, and the food arrived 2 hours early. Last night we ordered pickup in advance and had to wait 30 minutes past pickup time to get food. We love the food and staff, but order timing needs some attention.
Boba Tea was not good, tapioca pearls tasted far from edible, tastea was better. Sorry not sorry just being honest.
Great service, great food.
Overhead music loud and obnoxious. Food and service good.
Was looking for an authentic Thai food place near home since ours went out of business and found
Ban Thai. I grew up with Thai/Laos and Vietnamese people and food. This wasn’t a good experience. The waiter brought out a dish we did not order. they som tum (papaya salad) was terrible. Tasted like lime and fish sauce. The Thai jerky was okay but still was not right. The cooks really need to be trained on how Thai food tastes. I could have made better Som tum and fried rice at home our Larbb did not come they said they didn’t have the ingredients to make it 😳. The Curry Thai Rice was Mediocre
I gave it two for the atmosphere is nice that’s about it.
Clean facilities. Extremely fast service and helpful staff.
Food was quite good.
Would reccomend the 3 musketeers!
Food and service were both great! Would definitely recommend if you’re in town. We got the red curry and Thai broccoli.
