The 32 Essential St. Louis Restaurants

"St. Louis has enjoyed a long love affair with Thai cooking, but most local Thai restaurants focus on dishes common to central Thailand. At Chiang Mai, one of a number of new restaurants to hone in on a specific geographical region, chef Su Hill shares the culinary traditions and techniques distinctive to Northern Thailand, especially the city of Chiang Mai, known for specialties like khao munn gai. Diners will also find dishes familiar across Thailand, like som tum (green papaya salad) and sai qua, glorious bronzed pork sausages. Observing the three aunties in the open kitchen, deftly preparing dishes with a cool ease only feasible through years of experience and mastery, it is easy to understand why the restaurant has quickly gained a devoted following." - Holly Fann

This was our first time going to this place. The Services were slow. I think our server was new. It took her 15 minutes to bring us our water after we sit down. The other server did help her out afterwards by removing our empty plates etc. The food was different to me. We got the Nua sawaan,drunken noodle, and green curry entree. The food was okay to me. I was kind of disappointed since I really thought this place would be authentic. So I gave this place the benefit of a doubt since I am not sure if this was just an off day. The drunken noodle is not as flavorful as other Thai place I had. It has some spice and lots of star anise but missing other essential flavors that I like. The green curry was not bad, however I had better green curry. The appetizer was decent , remind me of A specific Beef jerky flavor I had. Parking can be challenging at times if come during busy time if the day.

Living in SE Asia the past decade … happy to find Chiang Mai on my visit to Webster last years. Back again in 2025! Authentic flavors and Thai specialties, friendly owner/ chef. Highly recommend

Was looking for a nice Thai place. The service was friendly. Nice atmosphere cozy and clean. We could see the kitchen making up everything hot and fresh. I had the noodles dish with chicken that tasted delicious 😋. My husband got a beef dish that was well seasoned with a mod amount of spicy added. We shared the sausage. Some of the best sausage I've had at a Thai restaurant. We'll definitely come back. Can't wait to come again and try some more dishes. My dish took a little longer to come out, would have been nice to get all the dishes at the same time. But everything was got and delicious.

We live in Thailand most of the year, but when we are in the US, we also need Thai food, so we have tried a lot in St Louis. They mostly disappoint us. But for Chiang Mai, we have no critique at all. Everything tastes very Thai. And the best part is the Thai food really does taste Thai. The cooks are Thai and I could ask them things and they could answer honestly. Also, unlike most others, they can serve real Prik Nam Plar (fish sauce with chilies as a condiment) on the side. Prices were fair for the portion sizes. The Larb Kua was especially interesting, as I never had this style before. They specialize in northern Thai food, but also have some south and central dishes. If you are used to getting the same dishes everywhere like Panang, Pad Thai, Pad See Iew, etc. I would strongly recommend you try some different dishes for a change. But of course they do offer some of the "classics" as well. Don't miss the Som Tum. It was super fresh!

Chiang Mai is my favorite Thai restaurant in St Louis after Tei Too was closed out. I’ve been coming here since they first opened in 2020, and I absolutely love every single dish here. You have to try them all! *** Must try items are Sai Oua, Nua Sawaan, and Som Tum. I also want to recommend Shrimp Pad Thai and all of curry based dishes. The Gra Dook Moon and its sauce are delicious, but it’s kinda too big for 2 people on top of other dishes, so I tended to skip it unless I dine in with a big group. The only item that I don’t think I enjoy much is the chicken noodle soup. **Be careful with the spicy level here. I’d say level 3 of spicy here is level 5 elsewhere. It’s always a nightmare to find a parking and get a table at nighttime on the weekends, so I preferred to come here for lunch. It’s awesome that they had a new menu with images of their dishes which really helped improving the customer’s dining experience. Service today was great. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend for anyone who already loved or wanting to try Northern Thai dishes.

We found this place on accident!! They did not disappoint. Pad Thai shrimp the flavor was out of this world from te 1st bite!! Khai sol OMG , the curry broth were so rich and complimented the chicken so well. Som Tum was spiced just to our liking!!

Delicious Northern Thai restaurant. The Nam Ngiaw I ordered was delicious and very flavorful. The red cotton flower is a unique and authentic ingredient. Service was excellent as well. I'm excited to go back and try other dishes. Don't forget to mix it all up before you eat!

Nice quick lunch spot. (I've never been at dinner time.). Service is fast and friendly. Dining room is small (maybe 8-10 tables?). Recommend the green curry, masaman curry, and pad Thai.

First time dining here. Overall good experience for an in and out dinner service but somewhat forgettable. Ambiance leaves something to be missed. I wouldn't consider this a nice date night spot but it is clean and well kept. Service was good even at a busy hour. My server did have me play musical chairs a bit before finally settling down at my table and placing the order but I'm flexible! Parking can be tough since it's on a high traffic street. Some street parking available. I parked in the lot across the street with no issues. Food was good but not memorable and I'm a huge Thai fan! We ordered the poh piah veggie rolls served with sweet and sour sauce to start- the only vegetarian friendly starter on the menu- which were tasty with the perfect crunch. For entrees we ordered the kaeng daeng and the suki with tofu. I was underwhelmed with the flavor in the suki dish. I would've loved to order my go to Thai dish, the khao Soi, but it was not able to made vegetarian/vegan unfortunately. There's better Thai establishments in STL but this place will satisfy you in a pinch.

This was our first stop during our first time in St. Louis and we were craving Thai food. This is a quaint little spot in Webster Groves (a cool street with so many great restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops). We ordered the Laarb Koi, Nam Ngiaw, and the Pork Red Curry and everything was very delicious! Our favorite dish was definitely the Nam Ngiaw which is a regional northern Thai dish. The broth was super flavorful and it was the perfect balance of spicy and savory. I think the service and hospitality could have been better. It wasn't as warm as we have experienced here in the Midwest. But overall; the food was delicious and we would come back for it! Check them out if you're in the area.

Chiang Mai is a cozy Thai restaurant in downtown Webster! It was the perfect cold day, pick-me-up meal! We had the Khao Soi (delicious broth, tender fall off the bone chicken drumsticks, yummy noodles, great spices!) and the Drunken Noodles with chicken (the string beans were crunchy and fresh, noodles and chicken were drenched in the most delicious sauce). We got both entrees at a 4/5 spice level - it was perfect! Not overly spicy but very manageable! There isn't a TON of room for seating but we were able to be seated quickly without an issue! We saw lots of takeout orders going out! So good - can't wait to try more things next time, would recommend both dishes!!

Ahh I absolutely LOVE Chiang Mai! It was recommended by a Thai friend who said it is very authentic, and let me tell you, it is truly incredible. The restaurant itself is in a cute spot in Webster Groves (street parking only) and the staff is very friendly. Do note though it won't have your "common" Thai restaurant options like pad thai. However, I've really enjoyed everything here. The Khao Soi (chicken coconut curry with noodle) in particular is a must-have. The broth is delicious and the chicken falls right off the bone! It's so flavorful but it's not too heavy or salty. I've also tried a noodle dish my friend ordered (also good) and I believe the nam ngiaw. I've gotten the khao soi three times already--seriously, it's that good! Would 1000% recommend!

Quick service and amazing food. Dined for Friday date night dinner at peak hours but easily able to get a table for two. Small/mid dining area with a few larger table settings. Ordered sake, appetizers and a couple entrees--all delicious. Many dishes ask spice level from 1-5 (higher=spicier). I'm personally not into spicy foods and level 2 was no issues for me. Highly recommend the Poh Piah and Kaeng Daeng.

Most importantly, the food here was very very good. They have a lot of options (though maybe a bit pricey for Thai?) that did not disappoint. Be careful with the spicy level. The drunken noodles and red curry were my favorite! That being said, our service was not good. I've come here twice and both times the host has been grumpy and slow to seat us even with plenty of space. It might have been a bad day but twice in a row makes me think otherwise. I would come back but only for takeout in the future.

I went here for lunch with a friend I got the pad Thai and my friend got one of their curries. The food was great albeit slightly pricey for a broke college student like myself. Parking was interesting as it is behind the building. The waitress was really nice and gave us all the time to decide on what we wanted. In the end it was a great place to just sit and talk. It feels small and "homey"

This place is legit. This serves Northern Thai stuff - many of your "usual" Thai places don't have some of these. I've always gotten takeout or delivery so can't speak to the sit-down service but whenever I've been inside, the staff is friendly. Gai todd wings - these are just alright. Cooked appropriately for crispy skin yet juicy underneath but they need to add more seasoning or something as it tastes relatively plain. Gra Doo Mak - these ribs are well seasoned and marinated and complex, tasty flavor. Highly recommend this one. Khao soi - 2 large chicken drumsticks in a savory curry with noodles. Not very spicy in case you're worried. Good smell, veggie add ons are nice, and tastes about what I expected it to. Sai Oua - the sausage texture is a little different than what I was expecting but still yummy nonetheless. Shrimp pad thai - They were able to make it 5/5 spicy as requested. Many places tone it down worrying about how the customer can't handle it. The shrimp also not overcooked. Impressed. Massamun beef - good portion, savory as expected. As you see, overall excellent spot and I will be back soon!

I came here with a big group of friends but half of our group had to split up and sit at the bar because they said they didn't have enough chairs to push together. There isn't much seating and it looks like they do a ton of takeout orders. It took 45 minutes for our food to come out, understandably because we were such a big group, but it seemed like they were focusing on filing lots of carryout orders first. My kids ordered the fried spring rolls filled with cheese, and potstickers. I ordered the pad see ew with chicken. The pad see ew was too sweet but the texture of the noodles was delicious. My kids liked the dumplings and the spring rolls filled with cheese which are basically like crab rangoons. I would love to return to try the curry and the beef dish my friend ordered, but will probably get carryout next time. Parking is limited on the street but I found parking in the lot behind Frisco Barroom.

I was kinda disappointed. My family still hasn't found a go-to Thai place in STL and my daughter and I were hoping this would be it... We got the fried cheese rolls, Pad Thai with tofu, and Pad See Ew with tofu. I found the fried cheese rolls a little strange but my kid loved them. When both entrees arrived, we were surprised at how colorless they were. I expected the Pad See Ew to be a rich brown and the Pad Thai to have a visible sauce with a reddish tint. Neither were here. They were, though, decently flavorful and there was lots of tofu. The tofu needed a bit more color on them as well, I like mine more toasted. Service was kinda meh. It seemed like he wanted to be somewhere else. I'm thinking I won't be back.

Chiang Mai has been on my list to try for a long while and I am glad we got to try it out. Their menu is comprehensive with Thai classics like Red/Yellow curry, Pad Thai and drunken noodles. We tried the most popular dishes - Sai Oua, Khao Soi and Larb Khua. The Sai Oua was an extremely flavorful juicy grilled pork sausage. It came with a side of rice. The Khao Soi broth was delicious. It came with crispy noodles and egg noodles in the broth.The crunchy noodles helped balance the texture of the dish. The Larb Khua was spicy sautéed minced pork. It came with a side of rice as well. It was very good. All the dishes were very flavorful. The service was prompt. The place can get crowded but they have a pretty quick turnaround. Looking forward to trying more dishes from the menu in the future.

Food was fine. Good, not outstanding. What was not fine was an undisclosed 3.25% "non gratuity" when checking out if we paid by credit or debit. So we paid cash, and were shorted 10 dollars! We didn't realize this until we were back at our car. Not acceptable in the least.

If you like Thai cuisine, you will love Chiang Mai. A fantastic Thai restaurant in downtown Webster Groves that rivals the best Thai in St. Louis. Our waiter was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable - truly nothing to complain about. The food: incredibly authentic, perfectly portioned, and came out very quickly. Every item was delicious from the starter to the main; I highly recommend the red curry and the Rihaku Jumai Ginjo sake. It's a small, quaint place, but don't let looks deceive you, the food is delicious. I will most definitely be back.

I've eaten here a number of times.The food here is generally excellent. My main criticism is service can be so so at times and they really have a problem when you have a party of more than one person. The staff seems to have an issue with getting everyone's food out at the same time. This has happened several times from my experience when dining here with more than 1 person at a table. I hate bringing this up as I love the food.

Went for lunch on a Friday with a group of coworkers, so the restaurant was a little busy. Unfortunately only one person was working outside of the kitchen, so service was slow and we had to ask about some items after they weren't brought out. But the food was really flavorful and beautifully presented. On the pricey side, so I can't eat here regularly, but I'd return for the right occasion. I did find it odd that bottled water is your only water option.

We came here for dinner on a weekday. We were seated without any waiting prior which was great. We ordered a couple of appetizers for the table. The Gai Todd was a dish of crispy wings and tasted very good but probably should not have been $11 in my opinion. The Som Tum is a spicy papaya salad that was also $11 and very refreshing. My main dish was the Larb Khua and also very delicious, 16 bucks. We did get charged 75 cents a person for a water which I did not really appreciate and I was charged an additional 50 cents for using a credit card so keep that in mind. Ambiance was great and service was very fast. Parking was difficult as it is just street parking mainly.

While I couldn't find any vegetarian menu online, I decided to give it a shot. They handed me the marked up menus (I took photos below) and most of their items could be made vegetarian! The Khao Soi with tofu was amazingly flavorful. Excited to go back and try more of their offerings!

So good! We initially were trying to go to a different restaurant in the area but they were closed so we found this place and with all the great reviews we had to come. One of my favorite things about this place is how clean it is! Wow! It's so perfect and really put me at ease. The service was great as well, the server helped us pick our food because we had no idea what to get! We highly recommend this spot if you want to try authentic food.

Chiang Mai took over the space of another Thai eatery we enjoyed so we were a little sad to see a known leave but happy to welcome a newcomer to the WG. They've remodeled the place into a very nice, clean and modern space. The menu is a bit different from other Thai places I've been to but we made our selections and enjoyed our conversation until the food arrived. (note they do a pretty heavy takeout business on the weekends so you may have to wait a little longer) We ordered up the spicy basil chicken and the green curry. Each dish was incredibly flavorful and warm/hot both in spice and temperature. Bursting with flavor and fresh-my lady enjoyed her selection so much and said; "We're definitely coming back!" There you have it friends, a guaranteed win for future date nights-Chiang Mai, that alone is enough to get me to walk through the door once more. Check it out, I'm confident you'll enjoy their offerings.

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars I really appreciate Thai cuisine and the delicate balance between sweet, salty, sour and spice. I'm always craving it and when it's in front of my face, it's never enough. I always want more. I met a couple of friends at Chiang Mai tonight and we had a great time conversing and laughing over a beautiful spread of authentic northern Thai cuisine. Couldn't get over the fragrant aromatics and the bright and bold flavors. Yum. Go get yourself some!

This is one of our go-to Thai places near our home. The Kua sawaan is a must for starters and you can't go wrong with drunken noodles or one of their curries. I feel like we haven't had a bad dish at this place.The service is always really nice as well.

This is a small spot that has some damn good food. There is limited seating indoors, and parking is on the street. Service is super quick and food comes out fast. With how good the entrees were, I was surprised this place wasn't packed. Definitely a hidden little gem that I will be returning to.

I've lived in the LA/OC area for the past three years so I have some high expectations when it comes to Thai food... however I just paid LA prices for getting some fundamentals wrong. The white rice was insanely dry and didn't taste right... day old? The curry was pretty watered down and overpriced. The pad Thai is solid (which hopefully it is since it's a Thai place). The area is decent, street parking; the inside is nice too. I came at a really down moment and service was okay. This was my second time coming here. The first time I got to-go and service wand horrendous at that time around Christmas. Either way, place probably doesn't deserve the hype but isn't bad either.

Take out review:  Authentic Thai food, great menu and delicious food. Sakoo Sai Moo $8 - Interesting appetizer that's definitely worth trying.  Chewy on the outside and sweet savory on the inside.   Som Tum $10 - Spiciness level of 3 is perfect for this dish. It will set your mouth on fire, but in a good way. Khao Munn Gai $13 - One of my favorite Thai dishes and it is done well here. Shrimp Pad Thai $17 - Can't go wrong with a good pad Thai like this one. Gra Dook Moo $18 - Large meaty ribs that are tender and full of flavor. Larb Khua $15 - A little greasy and a lot tasty. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2021

I'm glad I came back here because my first time it was a three ish star situation. It is a little pricey but then again the rent in Webster Groves is probably ridiculous. We got it all. The Thai tea, the cheese rolls, our own sausages each, pad Thai, and papaya salad oh and we added sticky rice. Food came out quickly, it was authentic and it was tasty.

Drunken noodles with chicken were really good! The green curry (kaeng keaw waan gai) and papaya salad (som tum) were also decent. Servers were nice and refilled water. Inside was well lit and cute.

Tasty, highly flavored, and well plated dishes for the wife and I were experienced during our lunch at Chiang Mai. This is a fairly small storefront in Old Webster Groves, but pleasant inside and with tables well spaced. We started with two nice chai iced teas. Then ordered a selection of small plates which filled us up well. Three of the small plates came out fairly quickly, with the sausage order taking a few minutes longer to cook. As should be done with small plates/tapas, the first ones were delivered as soon as ready so that the meal could start. Nua Sawaan (marinated coriander beef strips, sea salt, palm sugar, flash fried) had a fairly intense flavor without heat, with a side dish of chili paste allowing you to dip in and set your preferred heat level (or not). It also came with a side plate of pickled veggies (think like kimchi) to contrast the marinade/cool down the heat/add some tang. We ordered both types of poh piah todd (crispy rolls) that were on the menu - vegetarian and cheese, with a side dish of sweet chili sauce. Very good, crispy, not greasy. The vegetarian rolls were savory, and the cheese rolls were filled with a sweetish cream cheese. I recommend ordering both (two separate orders) to contrast one with the other. Sai Oua (grilled pork sausage, aromatic spices and fresh herbs), were pretty good too - with well spiced sausages (both for flavor and not too bad on the heat), and a side of fresh cabbage slices, fresh cilantro, and fresh ginger. It actually paired pretty well with the sweet chili sauce that came with the crispy rolls. They should consider including that with it. I did think the three small sections of sausage were kind of light for the price, though. There's a lot more on the menu. I'll have to try out the other choices on my next visit.

I was very excited to try Chiang Mai because I have heard people rave about how authentic it is! The first thing I noticed: there were almost no vegetarian options which I thought was weird for Thai food (maybe it's because it's northern Thai?). What I ordered: I got the shrimp pad Thai. It was the most expensive pad Thai I've ever ordered ($17) and there was truthfully nothing special about it. I posted a picture on my story and one of my Thai friends commented "yeah that looks like pad Thai you'd find in Missouri". The flavor was just okay, the portion was normal, the presentation was meh (I mean I got it for take out so I wasn't expecting much). I would be willing to give them another chance, but overall I was not very impressed.

Chiang Mai is *incredible*. The meats are all incredibly tender and well-seasoned. There are crunchy pickled palate cleansers. The sauces that come with each item are perfectly complementary. The ribs. OH. MY. GOD. They are so tender!! The wings dipped in the sweet and sour sauce was amazing. I then took the sauce and poured it on my rice. The pork had a vinegary zesty dip that complemented it nicely. It was literally so good and perfect for our Christmas Eve dinner after running around all day. We loved it when it was Tei Too and really wanted to try this place. Curbside was out on time, hot, and DELICIOUS! Can't wait to try again- I'm getting shrimp pad Thai next time but I'm not sure I can order there again without also getting the wings and ribs. Ugh, YUM!!!

I took my son to Chiang Mai for our combined birthday (both in Nov) when he was in town . Although staff were very friendly ...the food really missed the mark, which was disappointing because I heard great things . The quality of the meal did meet the cost . It was nearly $100 for 2 entrees ...2 apps and a bottle of sake . We both got the pad woon sen and the ratio of veggies compared to noodles and protein way too heavy on veggies ...seemed like a filler . The noodles were mushy and not much protein . We tried it .... It was fine but I won't search it out again .

This hit the spot on a freezing single-digit temp day. We had the special Yum Jiin Gai, which was a fairly spicy soup, a crowd favorite Gaeng Hung Lay, and an awesome appetizer Sakoo Sai Moo. We were warned of the spice level of the soup, and it was indeed spicy but with a really nice tanginess that can be hard to achieve. The broth was the star of the show the rest of the soup could be considered "plain." There were some nice cuts of chicken in there, but my dining guest felt it was a little pricey at $16. Gaeng Hung Lay was a crowd pleaser. Delicious tender pork in a tasty ginger and garlic gravy. Wish it came with more generous rice. Very good. Last but not least, the Sakoo Sai Moo appetizer. I've tried something like this before, but this was even better. It's served hot and the tapioca balls are an awesome texture to pair with the peanut butter pork mixture. There is also some crunchy peanut on top. Delicious and worth trying! Left out one star because things felt slightly pricey, although maybe that's paying rent. Very, very good food, but I'd suggest more generous servings of rice and amazing it up with the sides a little bit given the smaller portion size of mains. Big shoutout for the pictures of all dishes on the website. Super helpful for customers who aren't as familiar with these dishes.

Our 1st time here did not disappoint!! Everything was fresh and very tasty. One thing to note (this was all my fault and no one else's): next time go for spice level 2. I did 3. It was very good, but I was on fire. Only bottled water is offered. This is no problem for me, but there was a woman spouting "no plastic water bottles" loud enough for all to hear. Obviously she didn't have spice level 3.

Wonderful restaurant in a fun neighborhood. Service was warm and welcoming and the menu is a mix of inviting and adventurous. That's because the dishes aren't what you'd expect from the typical Thai restaurant. Our food varied from dumplings to drunken noodles to chicken soup. All flavorful and delicious. Prices also reasonable. So why only the four stars you might ask? Simple, they do not serve tap water - you have to buy bottled water... so unheard of - particularly when we are trying to combat single use plastic. Please help save our planet and serve tap water to your guests. Thank you. Enjoy!

45 min wait for to go order. I got the khao soi and it didn't really blow me away. Didn't get any dry noodles with it I've never had a khao soi with just wet noodles. The chicken was alright would have rather had non drummy chicken. The sausage was spicy.

I have been wanting to try Chiangmai for the longest time and now I finally got the chance to check out this really cool Thai restaurant. I was expecting very authentic Thai cuisine judging from their menu and I was not let down at all. The restaurant is located at the cute downtown Webster Grove area along with many other unique shops in the area. Their food was so good! It's definitely different from the majority of Thai restaurants in the US. I ordered Nam Ngiaw and Moo Ping with the side of sticky rice and Thai iced coffee. I highly recommend ordering the Nam Ngiaw. If you have never tried Tomato curry, you should give it a shot! The broth was so rich and well-seasoned, I just couldn't stop eating. The minced pork and the tender pulled pork steeped in the flavorful broth were so juicy. I am not sure if they use the dried or fresh vermicelli noodles but it tasted really fresh! Everything was so delicious and authentic, I was so blown away by the quality. The food was super affordable as well. The service was pretty fast and the food came out hot and freshly made to order. Finding parking wasn't too bad. There are plenty of street parking and we were able to park right in front of the restaurant. I would love to come back to try more dishes but I think Chiangmai is one of the best Thai restaurants in St. Louis!

Guess I'll never know the delicious taste of this food since my order was denied at pick up. Apparently they refused GrubHub drivers despite accepting my order and being an available restaurant on grubhub. Why you continue to promote your restaurant on this delivery platform when refusing orders with no way to tell your customers is shameful. Figure your online presence out. I hope this review helps someone out who may be considering ordering via a food delivery app.
