If you like Thai food, this is a must! I went here with a couple of friends and we decided to share everything we had. That being said, I was able to explore the menu and even go outside my "comfort zone". The inside was very inviting and cozy, a great place for a group or 2 -4. So onto the food and I don't know where to start! We started with the Hot Jaw and the Muu Ping. Both were excellent, great flavors that were perfectly matched with each ingredient. I will say, the mild is not what some would think as mild, so be prepared to have a little extra, but nice kick! As far as our entrees we had the pad Ka Prao with beef and added the egg to make it even more rich and velvety. The one that pulled me out of my "comfort zone" was the Green Curry. For some reason I have never been a fan of curry but I have since decided that it's because I hadn't had this! With the holiday season approaching, this is the perfect place for the friend that's coming in for a few days, the time where you need to step away with a friend for a couple of hours or any other excuse you need! We will definitely be back! read more

So bummed about my most recent visit to this small hidden restaurant off the Delmar Loop. Located on a side street with only 3 parking spots- plan to park at a meter on Delmar instead of attempting to complete an awkward U-turn when you don't find a spot out in front. Arrived about 6:30 on Sunday night expecting a wait (based on other Yelp reviews). We were seated promptly, but at the last available table. As we ate, there were about 5 other parties (an average of 2 people per party) waiting for a table. There is not room to wait- there were no less than 4 people standing a foot away from our table the entire time we were in the restaurant. Service is slow. Though we were seated as soon as we walked in, we did not receive water or menus for another 5 minutes. It took another 5 minutes for her to come back for our order. It took about 20 minutes for our appetizer to arrive, and then another 20 minutes for our food. There were only 2 servers for the entire place, but when they are responsible for bussing tables, too, service gets jammed up real fast. Food tasted fine. Portions were smaller than what I'm used to. The green curry lists peas as an ingredient. When there are 5 single peas total in the bowl, I don't think you should list peas as an ingredient. The green curry was predominately bamboo shoots with maybe half a green pepper. Chicken was dry. I don't think I'll be back- poor service and mediocre food. read more

I don't often come to this side of Delmar (usually I head west of Skinker), but I would definitely be open to coming back. I recently came on a Sunday to have dinner with my partner and two friends. The place is on the small side and has pretty basic decor. We were seated right away. I ordered a Thai tea (your standard and delicious Thai tea) and the hung leh curry. I typically order green curry whenever I go to a Thai place I've never been to, but I had never heard of hung leh curry before and I loooove pork belly, so I had to get it! I really enjoyed it. It was so full of spices and flavors (but without being spicy). It was really good! I just wish there were veggies in it, but I knew that beforehand and it wouldn't stop me from ordering it again. Our servers were friendly, the food came out quickly, and the price is pretty good for how much food you get. Next time, I would like the try their green curry and khao soi. I hope to be back soon! read more

A little hard to spot, but Fork & Stix is just right off of the Delmar Loops tucked in the corner of Rosedale Ave. You will miss it if you aren't looking for it. I've heard about this place and came with a few friends for dinner. The restaurant is on the smaller side, probably around 8 tables inside and with additional seating outside. I tried making reservations just in case, but they do not take reservations, probably due to the size of the restaurant. Normally when I go to a Thai restaurant I usually stick with the Pad Thai or the Green Curry. Since I've had so many of both of those dishes, I can really compare other Thai restaurants. Instead, I decided to take a chance and try something different. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao with chicken, opting for mild spiciness since the server said it was spicy. I was really hopeful on the dish, but I felt like the dish was a little on the bland side. The only flavor I could really taste was the spiciness of the dish. I would try this place again, but I'll probably stick with the Pad Thai or Green Curry next time. read more

Fork and Stix is off the beaten path but it appeared people were not having any trouble finding it. We were greeted when we walked in the door and quickly seated. The menu isn't large, but there were still plenty of items to choose from. To start, we shared the Thai Stix. Crab and cream cheese wrapped in a crispy fried roll with chili sauce. They were delicious - like a crab Rangoon but a better way to serve it. For our entree, Mike chose the green curry and I picked the stir fried rice with beef. The green curry was delicious and mild. When my stir fry came I thought they were a little chintzy with the beef but after diving in, I realized it was throughout the dish. Very good. Prices are very reasonable and portions are a good size. The service was very good also. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Over the years, Fork and Stix has been consistently fantastic, and is always on top of my list of places to bring guests. The Khao Soi is always extremely well-received. I had it recently and it's better than ever. Pair that with some cold iced thai tea w/ lime and you're having one of the best (and reasonably priced) food experiences you can find around these parts. Don't be afraid to add some of the thai red pepper paste if you like an extra kick. I'd highly suggest the beef salad as a starter. The fish sauce and other spices give the beef a powerful flavor punch, and the mint is a great paring. Even ordinary things like crispy spring rolls are elevated to something great here. I also enjoy the nice cozy atmosphere of this place. It's all good here. read more

This is a place to go if MCDONALD'S is closed. The service was o.k. Everything is either fried or pork! Hmmm..I am surprised about the fare and lack of variety in a supposedly diverse neighborhood. MissangelfromtheLou read more

I went today for the first time at lunch and want to go back for dinner. It's different Thai than I'm used to. They have khoa soi which is not offered at all Thai places. I love this dish overall but the dish here earns a 5 star rating! So good! I had mine with beef and the level of spiciness is perfect. We also started with the muu ping which was fantastic as well. I have missed my Asian cuisines since moving from Southern California a month ago. I'm happy to have found this place! read more

Fork & Stix - Muu ping - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Saturday lunch couldn't be better than a cup of spicy Tom yum soup and Laab gai with chicken larb!! We were a group of 4 adults , a toddler and a cute baby who couldn't help but sniff around at the strange and interesting aromas in the air. The enthusiastic toddler with us thoroughly enjoyed Hoy Jaw ( so did the adults) ! He thoroughly approved of the Chicken satay! The adults ordered pad Thai , and two Pad kee Mao. Love their Thai coffee which is basically like dessert form of coffee which helps cut the heat. Fork and stix is really small- like 10 tables and a few patio tables ( dog friendly). It packs a lot of flavor and character in the tiny space. I love the fact that I am challenged to try delicious and relatively unfamiliar dishes , other than the stereotypical fare that Thai restaurants usually offer. Eat here. You won't regret it. Maybe stick to Mild heat level. But definitely eat here!! read more

We have been coming here for several years. Our go to is the Khoi Soi. It's been a. It since we've been here and they have change the recipe of the dish. Crunchy noodles seem premade and the noodles are completely different. Service is still great. I am not sure why they changed the recipe but for us it pales in comparison. read more

This is it chief. This really is a hidden gem on the off beaten path of the loop. The Khao Soi is their signature dish here and it deserves all the praise it gets. I got it with chicken and something about the different textures going on in the dish makes it truly special. This is a must try if you're in stl! read more

A solid Place for Thai! unlike some other places they didn't ask about the hotness/spicy level, and the food prob came out I would say about mild- it could be a tad spicier and I believe you can do that yourself. Pad Thai is my go to and it was a solid choice. The peanut in this dish was not crushed but was like a halved peanuts, which I enjoyed due to the extra crunchy texture. My wife got the Khao Soi (?) Which is a dish she has been dying to find in Thai places. She's had a really good one in Chicago and has been on a hunt for more khao soi ever since. Well we are happy to say that she has found her khao soi place in STL for now. The portions aren't huge but the taste is definitely there. I wouldn't say this is the best Thai I had, but it's definitely tasty and worth a try. read more

Great food, simple menu, attentive service. I'd be happy to go back with my partner and get to try something off the beer and wine lists! Seems to be great for couples or smaller groups. Well-listed vegetarian options without the guesswork like many other Thai restaurants in the area. I highly recommend the pad see ew if you like a heaping serving of tofu like i do! read more

The food here is phenomenal, perfect date atmosphere. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the drinks menu, the food was perfect and the service very professional. read more

Love Fork & Stix. Been here half a dozen times. The most prominent word that comes to mind is - LIGHT. Pad Thai is light- the salads are light - the soups are light, etc... Fried dumplings are their best offering Spring rolls are delicious and (wait for it) - light I enjoy my meal every time I go Only slight drawback is the food's lightness sometimes sacrifices an abundance of flavor - could use more sauce in the Pad Thai for example However, this is incidental when you are getting quality food, at a very reasonable price, in an eclectic atmosphere A solid 4 read more

TL:DR - This place introduced me to the wonder that is Khao soi, but this latest trip the quality of it fell quite bit. Location is not great for larger groups. Parking can be difficult. They've built enough of a reputation with me to give them another shot before writing them off though. I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place before. I've been here plenty of times and this used to be my favorite Thai spot in stl. Keyword: "Used to be". I came back in today for the first time in about a year, and it really did not meet the quality it used to be. When I come, the only thing I get is the Khao soi. This dish blew my mind the first time and was like nothing I had ever had before. The broth was bright, so full of flavor, buttery, and umami at the same time. This time when I came it, it tasted a bit watery and lacked the same depth it used to. Additionally, the egg noodles seemed over cooked. Aside from that, this place is relatively small. Could handle one big group assuming no other big groups are there. Servers were fine, nothing amazing. One thing to note is parking is not the best. Parking on rosedale is limited to about 4 cars, other wise it's easier to park on the east side of Delmar. Overall, my experience this time was just ok, here's to hoping the next visit will be better. read more

Yum. I'm so happy that Virginia's reviews sent me in to this terrific spot. Stopped in for a Saturday lunch about 12:30 and found a seat. Again it isn't too big inside, but I've been able to find a seat for one or two every occasion and once the weather gets nice there will be tables outside. Appetizer the nam khao which was crunchy strips of pork? along with some crispy fried rice (that is a lousy description I realize) and served with some small raw cabbage leaves , think their version of lettuce wraps. It was tasty, crunchy and spicy. I also had an order of the Thai Stix which is essentially crab rangoon, only the real stuff, fresh wrappers and wonderful filling served with a sweet chili sauce. My lunch entree was the Pad Ka Prao, a delicious version of ground chicken, beans, green peppers accompanied by rice. Very tasty. While I finished my entire bowl two people could share. I did miss having the appetizer of grapefruit with chopped peanuts, hopefully next visit! It is sooooo good. read more

I'm surprised by the positive reviews for this place. Extremely bland curries that are mostly flavored water with gratuitous amounts of oil. The portion sizes are laughable. The spring rolls are mediocre and overpriced. Definitely the worst Thai place I have been to in STL over the last few years. Save your money and go to Thai Country Cafe just a few minutes away. Edit: I just discovered chicken in my Khao Soi with tofu order. I thankfully got a refund for that dish, but this place is not the safest if you are strictly vegetarian. read more

Ordered the pad see ew (one with shrimp, one with tofu) and it was pretty bad. First, they do not have spice levels for their food, which I have never experienced at a Thai restaurant before. Second, the noodles were mushy, as were the eggs. Pretty disappointed and we will not be returning. Maybe their non-noodle dishes are better? read more

I had some Muu Ping, which was delicious AF! Comes with a side of sticky rice, and that hit the spot! Also ordered an order of these pork dumplings, which was 3/5. Little bit too chewy for me, but taste wasn't bad! read more

I feel badly leaving a bad review but feel Compelled just so people know what to expect. It may be that we are from out of town and where we live has a lot of Thai food. We have had Thai food in a lot of cities though and have to say this was the worst Thai food we have ever had. Small portions, bland and kind of gamey chicken . Seems busy though so we may have had bad luck. read more

Great food and great service! My go to for Thai. The food is flavorful and you get great portions.

We got food to go and it was delicious! I was expecting a little more food (pad Thai) for the price but other than that everything was great

I came here for dinner on a random Wednesday night - didn't realize how small the place was but we were lucky and got the last open table. Not sure if they do take reservations or not, but it was the dinner hour so everything was packed, perhaps try calling ahead. I ordered the pad kee mao with shrimp, mild. I was very disappointed when my mild order was too hot for me to eat. When I asked if it was cooked mild, they said yes. There was NO way that was mild. I think they cooked my noodles with someone elses, or out of the generic pot so it had a lot of left over spice on them. :( Other than that this place was fine. The veggies they use here are fresh, and the food is good, just was too spicy for me to actually enjoy. I also had their spring rolls which were fine, nothing special though. Their portion sizes are smaller than other Thai restaurants I've been to, so instead of two left over meals, I only had one! :) The service was fine, they were attentive but not responsive to my complaint about the spice level. They told me that's how mild is (not true at any other restaurant)! read more

The portion size of our takeout curry was half what you'd get at any other Thai place in St. Louis. The amount of rice was even less (a couple tablespoons?) The kicker for me was that my vegetarian curry had a piece of chicken in it. Go to Thai country instead. read more

Most of the Thai food we Americans are familiar with and have eaten comes from Southern Thailand. However, Fork & Stix, a small restaurant quietly located on Delmar Loop, serves Northern Thai Cuisine which is surprisingly much different than the average menu items found at your local Southern Thai restaurant. One of the major differences between Northern and Southern Thai cuisine is the rice. Instead of Jasmine rice used in the South, North Thailand serves what is called sticky rice. To paint a picture, the texture of sticky rice is similar to the rice that's stuck to the bottom of the cooker when not enough water is used, except it's not burnt. It's definitely different, but it still tastes really good. But hypothetically, if I had to choose one item off this menu to eat for the rest of my life, it would be this Thailand street food called Muu Ping. This dish consists of sweetly marinaded grilled pork skewers with a coconut glaze on top. Out of all the items I ordered, this was by far the tastiest. If you're looking for a noodle dish then go with the Khao Soi which was named one of Saint Louis's must try dishes by Riverfront Times a couple years back. Last but not least, the Chicken Pad Thai (everyone knows what this is). Honestly, the only negative about this place was this meal. I didn't like it at all. The taste was clearly different than all the pad thai dishes I've had in my lifetime, and it wasn't for the better. The difference could be due to the fact that this is a Northern Thai restaurant. Therefore, different ingredients may have been used, but I wasn't a fan. However, try it for yourself though because you might like it. As of 9 July 2017, this restaurant has made its way into my Top 5 Asian restaurants to eat because of all the delicious food (excluding the Pad Thai). I probably never would of had a chance to try such unique and wonderful dishes unless I bought a plane ticket to Chiang Mai. If you're up for the adventure and want to try Thai food from a different part of Thailand then here's your place. read more

Our one and only take out during the past year of pandemic. Consistently good and the best Thai around. My fave is the chicken khao soi and close behind are the red and green curries. Hung lay is awesome as well if you're feeling extra indulgent- on the heavier side, very filling. I'm really glad you can now specify how spicy you'd like your dish to be. I can't live without this place! read more

I have no idea how my dad found this place, but I'm so glad he did. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall place with about ten tables, but we were seated right away during dinner on a Saturday night and had incredible service as well as awesome food. They offer some local beers, and they also provide a water urn for the table so you always have extra at your fingertips. The Hoy Jaw were a great way to kick off the meal. For entrees, my dad and brother both went with the Pad Thai, which is typically my go-to, but I decided to branch out and get Hung Leh Curry. Delicious. Pork belly and pork loin with ton of flavors and spices over rice. I asked if it was spicy, and the waitress said no, but it has a kick. Just the right amount, if you ask me! My brother appreciated the various spice and flavor additives on the table. They had red pepper flakes, and three different types of chili sauce available. Overall, huge portions of awesome flavors and fantastic service for a really low price. Go check it out! read more

+ Legit papaya salad + Friendly, attentive staff + Very reasonable prices *Small menu - there aren't pages upon pages of dishes to choose from, which means their selection is well-curated and each dish holds its own *THAI ICED TEA with lime instead of milk. Tart & refreshing and not cloying as milky Thai iced tea can be. *Legit PAPAYA SALAD with salted blue crab. Adds that extra tangy-salty ocean-y dimension to papaya salad. More authentic than any other papaya salad I've had in STL *KHAO SOI w/ chicken - cooked noodles on bottom, crispy noodles on top. Complex, flavorful curry, creamy but not heavy. Dunk the crispy noodles into the curry broth and let them soak the sauce in. Good texture, chicken was tender (not overlooked!) *MUU PING (pork skewers) were succulent, sweet and salty with a light drizzle of coconut milk on top. Served with a cute straw basket containing a little packet of steamed jasmine rice Everything I had here was spot-on. The ingredients were of high quality, the flavors were complex and authentic, and the service was top-notch. The restaurant itself is clean and cozy, but It's tucked away at the end of a random side street off of Delmar so it is a ways off from the main Loop. Will definitely be back. read more

We went here for the first time after reading the reviews here on Yelp. The place is on the small side but we were seated right away. We weren't sure what to order since there were so many things that we wanted to try, but everything was so reasonably priced that we ordered quite a few things. We started off with Hoy Jaw (dumplings) which didn't look much like the photos we saw, but were darker (see my photo). They were served with sweet chili sauce and were sooooo yummy!!! I really could eat a lot of these. Then we tried the Thai Stix which are deep fried and filled with cream cheese and crab....they were hot and melted in our mouth! For our entrees we ordered the Chicken Khao Sol and the Chicken Sateh which are grilled pieces of chicken and the Muu Ping which are pork skewers. The chicken skewers were okay....but nothing special...and the pork was a bit better. These were both good, but didn't blow our minds. The Khao Sol on the other hand was AWESOME!!! Every first few bites we would have to stop and say "Mmmmmmmm". Next time we will for SURE be getting this again.....soooo wonderful! To drink I ordered the Kafae Yen which is Thai iced coffee.....waaaaaay too sweet for me, but I got used to it after awhile. This is not like the kind served at Pho Grand, but I thought it might be. We didn't get forks and I didn't want to ask for one, since I needed chopstick practice...:), but I'm sure they would give you one. The entree portions are generous and everything was reasonably priced. The servers are very quiet and appear and disappear often w/o us noticing. Others mentioned no music playing but they had some on when we were there. read more
