I'm giving it a 2 for the food. Service is good and quick. For the food, I had the Nam Tok beef which supposedly is the most popular. Well, I liked the taste but the beef itself was tough! I was told it's due to it being grilled first, but it shouldn't be that tough! You almost need a grinder so your jaw won't hurt from chewing!!! I'd say, it's crossed out on my list to go. BTW, my sister got their seafood hot pot soup and ecept for the shrimp and mussels, the squid was rubbery. I'm so disappointed having waited for so long to finally go there and it was just a let down. Also amount of food you get doesn't reflect the price.
It's the best in the area although I wouldn't say it's great. The price is a little high for what you get and booth seats are dirty. The bathroom doesn't have paper towels to open the doors so if the person before you didn't wash their hands you didn't either. The food is decent...
We use to go here quite often. Tonight was the last night. They have went way downhill. Food was wrong. Was charged for additional items. Food wasn't the same as a few months ago. Very disappointing. Use to really like this place.
We love this place. Not all of their dishes are a hit but most of what we’ve tried has been great and the staff is so kind. We came from WA state and honestly it’s been tough to find good food here but we’re regulars at Thai Rama. Try the yellow curry noodle soup!!
This was my husband and I’d first time ever having Thai and boy were we pleased! Very spacious inside and the portions are large. I had the Bangkok noodles and my hubby had red curry both were very delicious! I added some sriracha to make mine a bit spicy but over all it was so good. Can’t wait to come again!
This place was amazing for so long, and in the last 2 months or so, I have either waited longer than an hour or not gotten food at all. Until staffing changes or what ever problem that exists is solved I cannot recommend this place, 15 years of good customer service and amazing food is definitely squandered.
Very underwhelming Thai place. The portions size was small for the price, and the quality and taste was saddening. I was expecting home cooking from generations of Thai people, and I got what was the equivalent of public school food Thai style. “Here’s your tater tots and Mac with some chili lime and peanuts” wouldent go again.
This was a great atmosphere for a quiet dinner. Food and service were great.

This is my favorite restaurant. The staff are fantastic and the food is the absolute best! I have gone to so many thai restaurants and while ive never had bad food, this restaurant is far superior to any others.
So good!

Consistently excellent with great service!
The seafood hot pot is fantastic. I get it at a 3 or 4 star heat level.

I'll happily call it five stars across the board here, technically I guess there's "better" but you'd be getting into fancy stuff which in my opinion takes away from the enjoyment overall. Stellar place to eat, with friendly staff doing their absolute best. The thai decoration all over the interior can lead you down some fascinating Google rabbit holes during the (always short) wait for your meal, and you'll be too busy eating to talk about what you learned with your date onceit gets there! My wife always gets the Pad Thai, but I'm partial to the Pineapple fried rice and Pad see yu. Appetizers are pretty unique and delicious too, try the fried tofu!

Hands Down Best Thai Food. Clean place, food is over the top good
I had to edit a previous 5 star review that had been on here for years. This was the most horrible experience I have ever had at any establishment. We arrived at 5:45 and we're promptly seated. The couple seated at the same time as us ordered and received their food as did over 8 couples and one large group. My wife and I received our appetizer and that was all. After 90 minutes we had not seen our server or food. When we went to the counter to pay for the appetizers and express our disappointment we were given a sob story until I pointed out all of the people seated after us were served their food and appetizers as well as countless to go orders filled while we sat waiting. People were waiting just as long as us too but only in our small section. Someone needs a new job not in the service industry. We have been coming here for years but no more.
The Crying Tiger dish with extra beef went from 19 dollars last month to 24 dollars this month. For this very reason alone, I will no longer be eating here at all. It was good while it lasted, but no dish is worth 24 dollars.

I had the Bangkok noodles and my hubby had red curry both were very delicious! I added some sriracha to make mine a bit spicy but over all it was so good. Can’t wait to come again!
We enjoy their beautiful decor, good food, friendly service, and the fact that there are a number of vegan options.
Their food is so amazing!!! They have so many vegetarian options!!!
My favorite Thai place for miles and miles. Always good and all the flavor. Attentive wait staff. 10 out of 10 in my book. S1 and A8 will fix your craving, but have tried almost everything on the menu over the years and never been disappointed.
Who would have ever guessed that Crystal City, MO would have some of the best Thai food that I've ever eaten at. I’ve eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants in the US and Thai Rama in Crystal City, MO is my favorite. Whenever I travel to visit my customers in the area, I always stop into Thai Rama. If I’m in the area for multiple days, all of my lunches are always at Thai Rama. In fact, I usually get the same dish every time I stop in. Whenever I take my coworkers here for lunch, they always have their mind blown by how good the food is. You can get 5 levels of spiciness to each dish. However, there are an extra 2 levels above this that are Thai level spicness. If you want to be sweating through your shirt, then absolutely try it. I personally am not a fan of tofu but the fried tofu at Thai Rama is different and better to the point that I usually get that as an appetizer. The Thai beef jerky appetizer is something unique that I’ve never seen before and is something that needs to be tried if you ever have the chance. The Yellow Curry Noodle Soup is the star. There is some sort of pickled vegetable that they add to it that just ups the flavor and gives the dish that little extra step up.
Some of the best Thai food we have ever had! Always fast, courteous service. Food is definitely worth the price and we eat here often.
This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. Authentic, tasty, and great atmosphere inside. I highly recommend the panang curry with chicken.
Went for daughters bday dinner bc she loves this place and it was amazing as usual🤍
Good food, very pleasant servers. Purple rice for dessert is addictive.
Amazing food!
Very underwhelming Thai place. The portions size was small for the price, and the quality and taste was saddening. I was expecting home cooking from generations of Thai people, and I got what was the equivalent of public school food Thai style. “Here’s your tater tots and Mac with some chili lime and peanuts” wouldent go again.
Absolutely awful
A hidden gem!!!
This is some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I have tried Thai in many big cities, this is by far one of the best! Everything is so fresh and the flavors and spice levels are right on! Worth the drive. We will definitely be back. I'm going to get extra to bring home, it's that good!!!
Beats the Thai in St Louis every time. So excited to come in when passing through Crystal City. Thai beef jerky is 10/10
Highly recommend it food was excellent
ive been coming to thai rama with my family for years, nearly a decade now, and they never disappoint. insanely quick, friendly service, flavors unlike any youve tasted before in every dish, the coziest cleanest environment, no complaints whatsoever. make sure you get a thai tea while youre there !!
Great servers, great food, nice clean restaurant!
The curry was awesome and dumplings were good too.
Wonderful food and great atmosphere
Some of the best food in town. The thai beef jerky and crying tiger are so freakin good
Always great service and wonderful food!
Always love this place. Excellent food and service
Friendly service and the food was ok. It is definitely not the same. I got pad ke Mao and the noodles were all clumped together ......
As usual, the restaurant appeared to be very clean
Food was superb, service was almost nonexistent. She seemed more concerned about standing at the register then taking care of the tables
Absolutely amazing Thai food at affordable prices
My family ate at Thai Rama for dinner. For alley, my wife and I got the pot stickers (10/10!) and the Crispy Rolls. Both were amazing! For entrees, my daughter and wife shared the Cashew Chicken with rice and I chose the Chicken Fried Rice. Not only is the food tremendous, it all tastes so fresh. I’m not sure what they do differently from other restaurant in the same category, but my family and I never leave feeling bloated and gross. The quality of ingredients and people are as high as can be. Love and will always support this local business!
Best Thai food in the area! The place was clean and the food was fresh. Service was great, too! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through the area.
My favorite restaurant in town! Never had a bad order. Always top notch. And everyone is so kind and helpful!
Excellent date night spot.
I've done take out with them several times. My family loves the food
We love Thai Rama. The restaurant is always clean, the waitstaff friendly and helpful and the food is so good. My favorite when eating out. My husband is an amazing cook so I’m sometimes disappointed when we eat out. He doesn’t cook Thai so it’s always a treat to eat here. My favorite is the yellow curry noodle huge bowl of soup with chicken and extra veggies. The Pad Thai is super delicious and my husband’s favorite is the beef Nam tok. ( I think that’s right, it’s a house special.). All the appetizers are wonderful, you could make a meal out of a couple of those. I highly recommend dining at Thai Rama or grabbing carry out.
Our favorite place!
All of the dishes our family had were all super fantastic and the portion sizes are nice and large everything was super wonderful. The potstickers are amazing and highly reccomended.
My grandma and I love this place! The food is always so fresh, especially the spring rolls! Even the water tastes fresh out of a cleansed stream! The bathrooms are THE cleanest I have ever seen at any restaurant or business in general. The employees are always so kind and gentle which really adds to the relaxation vibe the restaurant brings. I’ve only been here twice but that is soon to change! Worth the drive!
Loved this place!
Amazing family & amazing food. A pillar of the community.
I like it. Solid 4 start service and food.
Love the food love the people!
I've eaten here several times and have yet to be disappointed.
Everything is always delicious, the atmosphere is pretty calm and zen, and staff are always friendly.
I got the spicy dumpling and they were nice and warm the spicy sauce was super spicy I loved it. And I got the Thai Rama chicken and rice and it is perfect love the flavor ratio of coconut and peanut I got it at a level 2 spicy and it was the perfect amount for me. Big portion size I had to get a to go box and the staff was nice and quick. Got my food within 10 mins of ordering.
I'm from Iowa and if I ever moved back. I would literally make the 6 and a 1/2 hour trip just to have this food. The people are lovely and friendly as well. And it's well worth the trip and the environment. The food here is healing.
The food here is so good especially the curry I love this place so much!
Some of the best Thai food I've had in the St. Louis area. My partner said it was some of the best green curry she has had. I had BBQ pork and dumpling soup that was out of this world. The service was quick and friendly.
Quiet little place with great food, really good place to try if you want a different flavor palette.
By far the best Thai restaurant and so well worth the drive from my location.
I visit this establishment frequently, the food is always hot fresh and delicious!
It's obvious only the freshest ingredients are used, they take pride in the quality and plating of their appetizers and entrées.
Absolutely love the Fresh Spring rolls, Potstickers, BeefJerky, Crying Tiger, Non Tok Beef and Sticky Rice.
The staff is very nice, the restaurant is clean and the prices are reasonable.
One of my favorite restaurants and would recommend Thai Rama to anyone. I promise you won't be disappointed and will be a frequent customer once you've tried.
Food is excellent! Servers are very helpful! Purple sticky rice dessert is delicious and different!
Good food; friendly service
Really delicious food!! Great staff. The Duck curry is my favorite.
Very friendly, clean ,and delicious food
Our favorite local Thai food!
Amazing food and service 🙏👍
Excellent
Food was delicious and service was personalized. FYI it's all a little spicy but oh so fresh and scrumptious 😋
Staff is really friendly and food is tasty
Great food! Love the Thai jerky, beef satay, and spicy catfish.
Service is always quick and always friendly
Food is always flavorful and can be ordered VERY spicy but doesn't come that way by default so don't be scared of it.
Never had a bad meal here, it's just consistently great
Father’s Day Add brought me here.
Next time please if you are busy say Hi and welcome, I’ll be with in a few minutes.
And I waited five minutes to be noticed. So “I said I can come back when you’re not busy.” I wasn’t hateful. Just the wrong words I reckon.
The young lady gave the turned up nose ( with the hand palm facing out!) Wow!
I’ve been reading your reviews and this may have been a one time thing! But that doesn’t make it right.
I should have taken pictures of this 3/4 empty dining room. And maybe they were short staffed? I seen a few people working the front.
Not sure if I’m going to give it another try. You folks have an enough customers. Sure don’t need me or my family.
Peace
This is my Finances favorite place. The food is fragrant and comforting.
Food is always consistent and high quality. The attention to detail is appreciated!! The front of house staff is always friendly and very attentive!
1st time eating there.
We have been eating at This Thai Rama since they were in the old building. And we went tonight and I have to say I was disappointed. I always get the chicken Thia Rama. It was so spicy that I couldn't even eat it. They are pricey as well. We ordered 3 meals and an appetizer and the bill was almost $75.00.
Food is always made fast. They make all of the sauces they use in house and I personally love the curry. Owner is often times there if not always and he is very friendly along with the rest of the staff. If you're looking for comfort food I highly recommend the yellow curry. My other personal favorites are the Nam Tok Beef and Spicy Basil.
I've had a different dish each time (5+) and enjoyed them all. The Thai jerkey is awesome, wish I could bring some back home to WI.
Amendment: I have brought the jerkey home and it travels well!!
Pad kee Mao (drunken noodles) 10/10
Huge fan ... best Thai food I've had ... Have been going for years and will continue ... Favorite restaurant with great service ... Recommend to all!
Awesome. Pot stickers were delicious. White rice and yellow curry were great, too. Service was excellent. Very fast and very nice!
Fantastic place. It's a 45 minute drive from home but we always get food to go on our way back from stl. And even after that drive, the food is still hot!
O my, fantastic. Hard curry soup and loved it.
Absolutely incredible Thai food! I have eaten at Thai restaurants all across the country and this was fantastic.
Great food and service
Love this restaurant. Staffs are all so kind. Authentic Thai food. Family own. My kids love coming here.
1st time there and the food and service was wonderful. Very friendly staff!
I really wanted to like it, but while nothing was bad, nothing was that great either. We ate there twice and found it a bit on the bland side both times.
Immaculate and great atmosphere
Wonderful food and service for my birthday meal
YUMMY THAI FOOD!!
I've eaten at every Thai restaurant between here and STL, and most all of the ones within STL also, and this one is just as good if not better than any of them. Food is ALWAYS on point. Good quality ingredients, good serving sizes and the flavors are as they should be. Pricepoints are on target as well. Staff is always always friendly and helpful, and the owner is very nice e and comes around sometimes to chit chat. It is always clean and well kept. We eat here once a month at least. If I'm in another town and want thai, I will wait to get back to festus to order from here. Highly recommend.
Our favorite place to eat. They are friendly and go out of the way to take care of you.
The food is the main attraction of course, it is amazing.
The Panang Curry is awesome.
Had a lovely Christmas party get together with friend. The food was very nice and looking forward to going back soon to try the curries. I know my husband will like it too. Service was above par.
Great food and service. Been ordering here for 3 years regularly and never have had a bad experience
The service was super friendly and quick and the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend!
Thai Rama is the best Thai place around and one of the best restaurants around. I've been coming to Thai Rama for a very long time. I know the owner and most of the staff, they're all awesome. My family and I love this place!
I really don't think I've ever given a restaurant a five star this will be the first my friend I just got the grouper with garlic sauce it came with cabbage and broccoli a bowl of rice a bowl of garlic sauce that had carrots in it as well this is fantastic the fish is cooked to perfection everything's fresh also got tie dumplings and crab rangoon
I live about 15 mins away and when I got home with takeout the food was still piping hot. I haven't had Thai food in years and every bite brought a smile to my face. So good like I remember it!
Got the pannang curry and the fried tofu with peanut sauce.
It was 5 stars. Absolutely mind blowing flavors. I'm from st paul, the home of Asian cuisine. I would go out of my way to come back here next time I go on a road trip.
It was fantastic.
5 star service
5 star cleanliness
5 star meal
Go out of your way to come eat here!!
This place is a must place to eat at!
Always great food. Never disappoints! This time take oit and still generous portions.
Thai Rama has always been a favorite of ours. Family owned and they truly care about your dining experience. Beautiful interior, fresh & delicious food, excellent service. Always a winner!!
