    Panang Curry
    Crystal M.

    I am a Thai snob sorry folks ! Someone recommended this to me as I am not from the area and they said it was the best Thai foods If you are looking for reasonable 12.95 for curry and rice come here . Nice staff - neat restaurant inside Could be cleaner - dead plants on the balcony and pepper plant dying or hibernation in the lobby. Food is okay- I had to salt - I have never had to salt a curry before . Chicken is rubbery. Would I try again! Sure I always give second chances. It seemed to be a busy and popular place . Go for it ! Not the best curry but it will do.

    Pad See Ew

    I don't get to this place too often - but when I do, it's always a winner of a place. The place is so consistent, from visit to visit. And today, the place was busy as all get out - we sat upstairs - and the upstairs was virtually full (along with the downstairs). Yet, service and speed of entrees coming to the table, was excellent. Pad See Ew: This noodle dish is the right flavor profile for this traditional dish. Sauce is quite flavorful tasty. The beef was plentiful. Vegetables were all throughout. And all was nicely cooked and good tenderness....yet (not) mushiness to the ingredients. Yellow Curry: I tried this dish (which) the other guest ordered. The dish was well balanced in flavor. The coconut milk can get strong...or be what you (only) taste at other places. This place had a nice balance to it all. Vegetables in this dish were cooked very good. Located by MSU school and the historic Walnut St historic district - this restaurant is in a older home. Makes for a good setting...to enjoy lunch or dinner.

    We stopped here for dinner. The food was good. My wife and I both had different dishes and both were good. The service was great. The business is in an old run-down house needs help.

    Rama Thai is one of my top favorites in Missouri. The restaurant/house does need some work or it won't be too long before they will have to relocate. Their customer service is always great. They are always very nice and make sure the customers are happy. I've ordered on-line and over the phone, it is very easy and I've always received everything I've ordered. The food is delicious, there hasn't been anything that I hadn't been satisfied with. If you like Thai food this is the spot, I always recommend them. I hope they are always in business or I will seriously cry.

    Arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday night. No wait. Someone was at the register but didn't greet us - so we stood there awkwardly for a couple minutes until someone greeted us and took us to a table. Service was fast. We ordered a few appetizers and everything was really good. My daughter ordered the garlic & pepper chicken and really liked it. My son got the broccoli beef and it didn't have much flavor so a disappointment there. I ordered the Gapraw chicken and didn't like it as much as at other restaurants where I've had it. The chicken was a little grisly. My husband ordered the Rama Thai chicken and was happy with his dish. We'll try it again...and just choose other dishes. Love the homey feeling of the restaurant.

    Pad See Ew Noodle

    Rama Thai is located in a super cute house with parking on the street and behind. I phoned in an order for pad see ew and Thai tea because Everyday Thai was closed on mondays. I will admit, I am a noodle snob. My favorite thing about pad see ew is seeing that dark noodle sauce and the pan fry marks on the noodles. Unfortunately this dish was lacking both, and honestly was pretty flavorless. It felt like it was thrown together pretty rapidly and the noodles were chewy, dry, and flavorless and the broccoli was traditional broccoli instead of being broccolini or Chinese broccoli. The tofu was fried well and they included a lot of it- I ended up eating the tofu and tossing the rest. The Thai tea was delicious at least and I appreciated the caffeine boost! Sad to say my experience here was not what I was hoping for.

    Green curry lunch special comes with rice and 2 rangoons (so yummy).  Green curry is creamy & has an earthy/green pepper flavor. Delicious.

    So good. Lunch specials are a great bang for your buck and the crab rangoons are amazing and crispy. Pad Thai and mango curry are my favorites but the green curry is a close rival. Never ate anything bad here and service is always friendly. They have had some staffing shortages like the rest of the world so be kind and keep that in mind. Not a ton of parking or seating so allot a little extra time.

    Good quality Thai food with friendly service in a charming historical house. The choice of proteins for each dish includes fried chicken, which though non-traditional, turned out to be great with the garlic pepper broccoli. Generous portions and good prices.

    Thai Iced Green Tea

    The Thai green tea was delicious. Strong green tea flavor with the right amount of milk. I had the 'shrimp rolls' as an appetizer which is essentially a piece of shrimp, wrapped in spring roll paper and fried, served with a sweet/sour/salty dipping sauce. Nothing special... My entree was Masaman Chicken Curry. It could have used more salt and more curry. The flavor overall could have been more pronounced. Also, there was not much chicken in the dish. The hostess and server were both very polite and hospitable. The restaurant is located on the lower floor of a two story 'older' house that could use a bit of tlc outside as well as inside. I may try them again, but will order something else.

    This place was very lackluster. Food was not great but not bad. If you're craving Thai it will scratch your itch

    I've not ever had Thai food before so, I was excited to try out a new cuisine. I'm not entirely…read moresure that I really scratched the surface of Thai food with my one meal but, for anyone looking a great, authentic meal, this looks like it may be the place! The first thing I noticed was the sign on the outside that said they were soon going to be closed for 3 weeks for a family vacation. That excited me, knowing now that I was walking into a family owned business. What you walk into is a small, but cozy, dining area - the sign on the wall says they can fit 44 people in there. We had a table reserved and thusly, did not have to wait. Throughout the dinner, I did notice customers waiting for both a table and for takeout and I'll say, it's worth the wait! We were served by a sweet lady, of whose name I cannot remember. She was very attentive to our group of 8 guests. We ordered 3 different appetizers: Veggie Spring Rolls, Steamed Dumplings and the Money Bags. I tried the Spring Rolls and Money Bags and though I wasn't the biggest fan, everyone else at the table enjoyed them (I likely would have enjoyed the Chicken Spring Rolls more!). Me not being the biggest fan reflects more on my pickiness than the quality of them as, like mentioned, everyone else really enjoyed them all. For my entree, I ordered from "Grandpa's Favorite Chicken" from the "Chef Special" category. My reasoning behind this order, of which no one else at my table considered was as follows: 1, it's chicken with a sweet and sour sauce! 2, it's on the "Chef Special" category which though it didn't have a description, I assumed meant that it's something the Chefs enjoy making. 3, it was starred on the menu which means that they recommend it - it was a great recommendation. My order came out in approx. 10-15 minutes with a side of white rice that I added on. The picture I have is after everyone at the table picked off a piece of chicken because of how delicious it looked. The portions were great, enough for two people that aren't starving. There was plenty of sauce - of which was very flavorful. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice did a great job at soaking up some of the extra sauce that was in the bottom of the plate. Overall, this meal was delicious! I would highly recommend to both locals who can go and try multiple different meals there and anyone who is just stopping through town. You won't be disappointed!

    I found this place based on Yelp reviews. The location is in a shared plaza. I ordered on the phone…read morefor pickup. There is plenty of parking and the inside is cute. The service was good. My husband ordered the Phad thai and he said it was extremely salty and didn't finish it. I ordered the panang curry and it was oily decent flavor but oily and didn't sit well with me.
