Diner Review №1

This may be my favorite thai resteraunt in st louis area, a hidden treasure in edwardsville and worth the drive if you dont live in the area.

Diner Review №2

Just didn’t like it must be an acquired taste

Diner Review №3

Always a great meal! Excellent curry, and good selection of cold craft beers!

Diner Review №4

Hosted an office lunch here. Great prices on lunch menu and plenty of food. Hot and Sour Soup was excellent.

Diner Review №5

Honestly it was better than I imagined! The reviews & photos don’t do it justice… and you can have a glass of wine with your pad Thai! 🤤

Diner Review №6

Everything was on point!

Diner Review №7

Food was good. Service could be better.

Diner Review №8

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.

Diner Review №9

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.

My go to place. Closed Monday. Eat food here.

Diner Review №25

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!!!!!

Diner Review №29

I ate here with a friend recently for the first time. The food was great, our server was so kind, and the atmosphere was nice. It was a great place with an expensive menu, and I will definitely be back in the future!

Diner Review №30

Love the new booths and the food is second to none!

Diner Review №31

Great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food!

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

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.

Diner Review №34

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!

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

The owner is very rude! I wouldn’t recommend this business to a dog! The food is bland and has no seasoning! If you are reading this don’t patronize this restaurant they do not deserve it! RUN !

Diner Review №37

Chicken in garlic sauce

Diner Review №38

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.

Diner Review №39

We ordered the Thai Fried Rice and Pad Woon Sen. They were flavorful and cooked well. We were glad we found this Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №40

Great food. I'm driving 20 miles to eat here

Diner Review №41

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.

Diner Review №42

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.

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

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

Diner Review №48

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!

Diner Review №51

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.

Diner Review №52

First time we ever ate Thai was here. Where on earth had we been?! Amazing food! Little hidden gem.

Diner Review №53

The best food I've ever had and I questioned whether or not I liked Thai at one point. This place changed my mind.

Diner Review №54

Food was cold. Service was bad. It took over a hour and a half to get my food

Diner Review №55

Ordered food on Sunday after SIU-E graduation, was ready in 30 minutes and everything was absolutely delicious- highly recommend

Diner Review №56

My 3d visit and will return! Food is tasty and service good.

Diner Review №57

It's okay. Didn't have one server, but three and found it confusing.

Diner Review №60

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

Diner Review №62

Family love their foods few time visited it was very good

Diner Review №63

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!

Diner Review №64

Not the best for the price at all....

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

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 💚

Diner Review №67

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 👍❤️

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №75

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😘

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!

Diner Review №89

One of our favorite spots in Edwardsville!

Diner Review №90

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

Diner Review №91

It was really hot in there. Hard to enjoy our visit.

Diner Review №92

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!

Diner Review №93

My favorite restaurant

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

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.

Diner Review №96

Obliterated

Diner Review №97

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👌

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

Always wonderful food. Delightful servers.

Diner Review №100

The absolute best food I've ever had. The drunken noodles omg

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

Great Tom Yum soup and green tea!

Diner Review №103

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.

Diner Review №104

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

Diner Review №105

Best pad Thai I've had.

Diner Review №106

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.

Voldoende keuze gerechten. Voorgerechten die je kan delen. Je kan het niveau van pikantheid opgeven (level van 0 -5). Grote stukken zalm en perfect gebakken

Diner Review №111

Diner Review №112

The food here is amazing! Very flavorful crafted dishes!

Diner Review №113

The soup comes in a huge bowl. They also ask how spicy you want your dish, so you can customize to your own tastes.

Diner Review №114

Absolutely delicious! A hidden gem in Edwardsville, give them a try!

Good option for Thai food in Edwardsville/Glen Carbon. Was a bit disappointed when they were out of boba tea.

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

You check this hidden gem out, you can pick how hot you want your food.

Diner Review №120

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.

Diner Review №121

i love thier boat noodles. i always get the beef ones without the beef balls . lots of spice with fresh basil

Diner Review №122

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.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

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.

Diner Review №129

Outstanding. Some of the best food in town! Seafood soup the finest

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

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!

Diner Review №132

Food and service is outstanding. Have been there twice with some coworkers for lunch and enjoyed each meal. Fantastic food, highly recommend!

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!

Diner Review №147

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.

Diner Review №148

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.

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Excellent food. Ready faster than expected.

Diner Review №151

Their general tso chicken was good ,they were nice and patient with my family and niece and there were good, the boba thing I got was good, but it took like a half hour to get our food and it wasn't even packed.

Diner Review №152

Service was quick and the good tasted great. I'll be back!

Diner Review №153

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!

Diner Review №154

A great local Thai restaurant. The food is great and the service is great!

Diner Review №155

Menu prices aren’t accurate, expect to pay more than the menu price when receipt is given

Diner Review №156

Good food good people

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

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.

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

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.

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

Diner Review №172

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.

Diner Review №173

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!

Diner Review №174

Diner Review №175

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.

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

Diner Review №178

Delicious Thai cuisine with a large variety to choose from. You can pick your own spice level

Diner Review №179

One of my favorite places to eat amazing food

Diner Review №180

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

Diner Review №181

We love Bann Thai! Their Drunken Noodles & Thai Fried Rice with golden tofu are delicious.

Diner Review №182

Excellent special, Singapore Noodles! I hope this always a choice going forward!!

Diner Review №183

Great experience always.

Diner Review №184

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.

Diner Review №185

Diner Review №186

Boba Tea was not good, tapioca pearls tasted far from edible, tastea was better. Sorry not sorry just being honest.

Overhead music loud and obnoxious. Food and service good.

Diner Review №192

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.

Diner Review №193

Diner Review №194

Clean facilities. Extremely fast service and helpful staff.
Food was quite good.
Would reccomend the 3 musketeers!

Diner Review №195

Food and service were both great! Would definitely recommend if you’re in town. We got the red curry and Thai broccoli.
