This was a great atmosphere for a quiet dinner. Food and service were great.

Diner Review №2

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.

Diner Review №3

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.

Diner Review №9

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.

Diner Review №10

Consistently excellent with great service!

Diner Review №11

The seafood hot pot is fantastic. I get it at a 3 or 4 star heat level.

Diner Review №12

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!!

Diner Review №13

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!

Diner Review №14

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.

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

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...

Diner Review №24

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.

Diner Review №26

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.

Diner Review №27

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!

Diner Review №28

We enjoy their beautiful decor, good food, friendly service, and the fact that there are a number of vegan options.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

Their food is so amazing!!! They have so many vegetarian options!!!

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

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.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

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.

Diner Review №35

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.

Diner Review №36

Amazing food!

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

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.

Diner Review №46

Absolutely awful

Diner Review №50

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!!!

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 ......

Diner Review №70

Food was superb, service was almost nonexistent. She seemed more concerned about standing at the register then taking care of the tables

Diner Review №71

Absolutely amazing Thai food at affordable prices

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

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!

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.

Diner Review №94

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!

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.

Diner Review №107

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.

Diner Review №110

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.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

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.

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

Diner Review №134

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

Diner Review №143

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.

Diner Review №144

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.

Diner Review №145

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!!

Diner Review №176

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.

Diner Review №177

Rice came in the plastic bag, so they cook portions in the plastic, that's not healthy at all. Also they gave me quarter of cabbage, not cut, just piece of cabbage.
Confused with that.
Dish also little small, but taste is great.

Diner Review №178

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.
