Ooohh! When I think fried rice, I think here. I'm from STL so it's very difficult for me to find rice that I love but the crab fried rice here is worth the cost. The place is clean and fresh. The authentic Thai sculptures and pictures with nice music The team is smiling and friendly. Today the server brought the rice to me and was so cheery. I have gone to 2 of their locations and this is my favorite.

Lots of choices here, couldn't find a bad one in the bunch!

I had seen this place driving up and down Eastern and always wanted to stop there but never seemed to find a moment. My friend and I decided to go have a lunch break after a convention downtown. From the outside, it looks like just about any other building in this strip mall. The real magic happens when you open the doors. The inside is very well appointed with wood treatments throughout. It actually has a very warm, cozy vibe to it.. would love to sit at the bar on a Friday night and see what sort of cool stuff goes on there. The food was so good... My friend ordered it at a level 5, but we could have gone higher. In retrospect., spring rolls, and of course, a couple Thai iced teas The real magic happened was when I saw the dessert menu. I was very torn between the sweet sticky rice with mango and the Thai iced tea creme brulee. With the suggestion of the waitress, I went for the sweet sticky rice. Wow! Was not expecting that. What a great culinary treat that was. I could have eaten another one of those. I'm telling you. Make sure you leave room for dessert. You will not regret it. As you can see from the picture, the sweet sticky rice with mango almost looked too good to eat! Bottom line is run, don't walk to this place! Some of the best food I have had, can't wait to go in and amp up the spice level a little bit.

Mango Sticky Rice

Have been coming to Pin Kaow for years. It never disappoints. They have an amazing lunch special offered during week days, which allows for the perfect portions. Service is always exceptional and I adore their ambiance inside. They have wooden details inside that are reminiscent of Thai architecture. They also always have fresh orchids around the restaurant, which is a classy touch. 100% recommend them, especially for their amazing deal of a lunch special!

Her curry closest, rolls and chicken skin apps in the center, my broccoli with port belly furthers.  Fists still balled in polite annoyance.

Were over a bit further west than Eastern helping wife with an errand when we decided to stop and get some food. We stopped here, remembering friends complimenting it in the past, being in the mood for Thai. It's a Friday night, right around 6pm with monsoons that passed moments before (still drizzling) but still, most places we passed to get here had a line out the door. We figured we'd check the wait times and decide from there. Amazingly, while it was busy, we were seated as soon as we wiped off our feet on the welcome mats. Right away we were offered drinks and apps, but being first timers we asked for a few minutes. Drinks: Hers was a lemon drop. While I normally get an old fashioned to see how the bartender is, I decided to go a bit more floofy and got a tropical-esque drink, but I can't remember the name of it. It wasn't the lychee martini, but very similar. While I do wish I'd stuck with my regular, it was fun to try this, but a bit sweet for me. Wife liked it, and said her lemon drop was one of the best ones she's had. Apps: fried chicken skins and fried spring rolls. The skins had some seasoning on them, but not a lot. The dipping sauce was basically the same orange (colored) yum-yum style sauce used on sushi. Overall it wasn't bad, had the flavor of fresh fried skins, but the seasoning was underwhelming overall. The spring rolls were good. I'm one of the rare people that doesn't gush over eggrolls/spring rolls/whatever Asian fried crispy pastry with veggies and meat inside you can get. Usually even if the outside is nice and crunchy, the inside is just a soggy mess. I just don't like em. These actually weren't bad. Good crisp on outside, and the veggies still had some body, not just a slimy mass. The best part, both of the apps were only 8.95--actual appetizer prices!! Can you believe it?? I haven't seen an appetizer under 15-20 bucks since Rona. Mains: I got Chinese Broccoli with fried Pork Belly in oyster sauce. She got Red Curry with Chicken. Both of us felt like some spice, but not burning. I'm a heat-seeker, usually getting the hottest, but because I wasn't in the mood for that tonight, I can't attest to how hot they can get. We went with a 3, expecting a slight burn and consistent tingle. I thought mine was great flavor. It's a mass of greens with a much smaller amount of belly. The belly is fried perfectly, good crunch on outside, tender chew on inside. If you don't eat it quickly, however, the crunch will turn soggy, but the flavor was still great. The greens were well done, just a bit more than steamed level--still had good body without being super crunchy. Wife really liked her curry. She said it was great flavors, good amount of chicken, and for her, they did not over-do it on the basil. Our former regular place has been shrinkflating us. As the price goes up, the portions go down. Last time we were there I barely had any chicken, and we haven't been back. She said the ratio was good and the portion was enough to finish in one sitting (usually we get leftovers, but it's mostly just sauce and rice). I found it on the sweet side, but she said it was perfect. Down side: our spice 3 was a spice 0. Neither of us even got a hint of tingle. I usually write this off for me as my buds have been so abused with multi-million Scoville sauces I'm usually adding to my food, but for her not to feel any spice as a mid-to-low level heat seeker means there was barely anything. I hate ordering from places that have a spice rank because it seems to be dependent on the cook, the place, the kind of food, etc. Overall, definite quality, friendly folks, quick service, good food. Other than the spice level, we didn't run into any problems. If it wasn't on Eastern (yuck), we'd probably make it here more often. On the plus side, if cruel fates to bring us back to that God-forsaken stretch of road, we have a great place to eat!

Wonton Soup
Robert G.

Came here for dinner while in town. Ordered bowl of Won Ton soup and chicken Pad Siew. Soup was very good with plants of Won Tons. Pad Siew was also good and we ordered extra noodles which helped. Service was good and ambiance typical of a local Thai restaurant.

Kung Pao with peanuts when requested no peanuts.
Athéna T.

i hardly put bad reviews out there, but this was such a terrible experience. we had a reservation set for 9:30 online and came in at 9:15 (earlier than our reservation) upon entering, we told the waitress up front we had a reservation for 9:30 but came a bit earlier and she just looks at us crazy as if we weren't supposed to be there? right upon sitting us she tells us "kitchen closes in 15 mins" so that means it closes at 9:30 when we had reservations for 9:30... then just rushed us right away to order- she came back after not even a minute of us being seated to see if we knew what we wanted to order as we barely sat down and started looking at the menu. Typical courtesy in the dining/hospitality domain would be to offer water or serve water right upon the guest sitting down but that was not the case, instead we were rushed and treated with poor customer service and was not served any water until we requested. The waitress continuously was looking at her watch for the time as we were ordering , she probably did it like 4 times to be so honest! That is highly disrespectful especially due to the fact we had reservations online for 9:30 PM and came early. I understand the restaurant closes at 10'o clock and if you won't make your guest feel welcome despite having reservations why have a website with openings for reservations at such times ? I kindly asked for no nuts in my Kung pao and was still given peanuts, which really topped it off for me. Now if i was to send that back for wrong order the waitress would've probably told me it's too late and the kitchen is closed. I was left to separate everything off the plate to remove the peanuts. Definitely one of the worst experiences i've had at a restaurant in a very long time, definitely will NOT be back!

Pineapple Fried Rice
Lily F.

We were sat as soon as we walked in! The first thing I noticed is the low lighting. It set us up for a relaxing late lunch. My brother ordered Thai mule with lemongrass infused vodka. It was delicious and refreshing. We ordered the thai beef jerky and fried taro for appetizers. The sauce that came with the jerky was SO GOOD. The beef jerky was so tender and juicy, not really what I expected for beef jerky but boy did it hit the spot! The fried taro was underwhelming, but the crunch paired with the sauce made it redeemable. My brother ordered the pineapple fried rice and I ordered garlic stir fry with tofu and chicken, these were the perfect comfort meals. The menu is affordable. You can't go wrong here. The service is quick too!

Sharzad M.

We finally got to dine in here! It's a beautifully designed restaurant with delicious food and reasonable prices. However, we arrived 35 minutes before closing and felt rushed, they basically told us we had 5 minutes to order. So, if you want a more relaxing experience, I recommend going at least an hour before closing. The only downside here was the service and the feeling of being rushed.

Sea bass, Bbq Spare Ribs
Joey V.

I thought this place was decent at best for the price you pay. Although, the customer service was great. I had no complaints. They were thorough and attentive while being seated. Ordered Pad Thai, sea bass, spare ribs, some type of curry (forgot what it was called), and Thai coffee. The pad Thai with tofu tasted great, rich, and flavorful. The sea ass was nothing special and for 35 dollars, I would def pass on it. The curry and Thai coffee both were great as well. Overall, I think this place was ok, but for the price you pay, it's a little overpriced in my opinion.

Thai Coffee
Julianne R.

A+ for everything! The server was very friendly and accommodating, and the decor is inviting and cozy. At first I thought my coffee wasn't gonna be sweet enough because it was so dark (even after mixing), but it was quite sweet. The spring rolls were just veggies and glass noodles, but I think black pepper gave it the finishing touch. Since it's now chilly out, the chicken Tom Kha warmed my tummy; level 3 was just the right amount of spice for me, and the flavor was chef's kiss. Finally, I really enjoyed the chicken Pad Thai; if you don't like fish sauce, you might not be a fan, but I loved it. Considering the food made me do my special I'm-in-heaven-cause-it's-so-delicious dance in my seat, I would certainly come back!

The workers are so sweet and were very attentive the whole time, and the food arrived super quick! We ordered the beef pad see ew, grapefruit and crispy prawn salad, and the sugarcane coco mojito to share. Beef Pad See Ew - LOVED the texture of the noodles and the sauce was cooked in just right. Beef was also tender! Be weary of the spice levels, I got a 3 and immediately wished I got a 2; they let you know that they get their chilis from Thailand so there's a bit more kick to them. Grapefruit Crispy Prawn Salad - My honey and I were pleasantly surprised at how good this salad was. The dressing was sweet, savory, and had some fish sauce in it for that umami. The prawns were insanely delicious and cooked perfectly. I hope they offer the prawns in some sort of appetizer one day. Sugarcane Coco Mojito - Very refreshing and good balance of tangy and sweet.

The presentation was great and the food was equally good. We had the gyoza, cucumber salad and fried calamari and everything was delicious. Not long after our two main dishes came out and they looked and smelled amazing. I had the yellow curry with chicken and it was delicious , my wife had the lychee and pineapple curry and it was delicious as well. Overall we had a great experience here and will return for even more.

The atmosphere feels very familiar, with the same stylish décor, dramatic wine wall, and unique light fixtures that give the restaurant its modern, upscale feel. Most importantly, the food was just as consistent as the original location. I was especially excited to see they offer a happy hour menu. We ordered the Garlic Green Beans, Lobster Yum Takrai, and the Dok Lamaii specialty cocktail, which was refreshing and beautifully balanced. From the regular menu, we also ordered the Crab Fried Rice and Mango Crispy Catfish--both dishes arrived beautifully presented and full of texture, color, and bold ingredients that made each plate stand out.

The vibes here feel more casual in the sense of the wait staff is friendlier and feels more like a mom and pop shop, vs at lotus it feels more corporatey (not sure if this makes sense) and they try and push you out asap to get more people in. This location has plenty of parking. We came on a Saturday night and were seated right away. Ordered: Tom kha 3/5 - nothing crazy just decent soup, wasn't as creamy as id like tbh, felt more like a straight tom yum. Crispy cat fish on mango salad 3/5 - good to share, some pieces a bit too fatty from the catfish Pad see ew upgraded to crispy prawns 5/5, decent amount of crispy prawns, fried to perfection. Just like lotus not much difference. Lobster noodles 5/5, definitely get again! A more like beer batter on the lobster. Good amount of lobster and personally i like these noodles better! Crispy duck panang 5/5, duck was crispy and meat was tender, not dry at all. Green beans 4/5 - a little sweet and garlic. The sauce on these were good. Some green beans were a tad bit under cooked. Maybe fry it for 20-30 more seconds imo.

There is seating at the bar as well so if you want to stop for a quick bite with a cocktail, it's perfect. Service: Quick and courteous. What else can I ask for? They use OpenTable so feel free to reserve a seat on that app, it'll help them out immensely when it's rush hour. The servers are quite knowledgeable about the dishes. They even warn you when you've chosen dishes with the same flavor profile. I heard our server guide the tables around us as well with the same attention. Their most known dish is their fried A15 Prawn. Garlic-y, crispy edible shell, and a springy fresh shrimp meat underneath. Yes, you can eat the whole thing, shells and all. Our second dish was their Nam Kao Todd and it had just the right amount of spice and tanginess. The crunch from the rice was a lovely texture because the dish was served fresh. I don't know how it would do if you ordered this for takeout, though. This one is VERY spicy so buyer beware? Third dish was Me Krob. This one wasn't my favorite of the three but I still enjoyed it. The crispness of the noodles absorbed the sweet and tangy sauce they pour on top. Overall: I'd come back if I'm in town!
