I ordered delivery and spoke with the staff before ordering from GrubHub to verify I could receive GF food. The food is very flavorful and fresh. The 4 stars instead of 5 are due to the curry being so spicy hot they should offer a number for how spicy you like it. For me I could not eat it. And second reason I received my order with no napkins or utensils and my delivery address was a hotel. Next time I'm in town I would try it again but be more specific about my needs if this is usual. All in all...I recommend read more

It breaks my heart to write this review; however, I must. I work for an airline and I'm always in Springfield for business. I have been a patron of this restaurant for years. I literally go to Rama Thai evey time I'm in town. Today I walked from my hotel to the restaurant. I placed a to go order. After I paid, I asked for an itemized receipt for my job but was told by the man assisting me that he could not give me one. Which seemed strange because I always ask for one, and I've always been given one. I left that alone though. I did not check my food upon delivery because of good faith. Once I unpackaged my food back at my hotel I noticed that I was missing the fried rice I ordered. Additionally, I wasn't given plasticware either. So this means that I now have to walk back to Rama Thai in the near 100 degree heat to get the rest of my order. Upon my arrival I communicated that I was missing the fried rice from my order. I expressed how unpleasant it was for me to have to walk back up to the restaurant in the heat. I was sweating. I did not receive any empathy or demonstration of remorse from the staff at Rama Thai for my experience. Not so much as even being offered a glass of ice water while I waited. Three separate employees from within the restaurant came by looking at my ticket as if I were making a story up. I'm still unsure what that was about? A young man offered me a spring roll as if that was going to make up for this experience. I declined. As I stated earlier, I am very disappointed with the overall experience from today. I have been such a recommending promoter of Rama Thai to my colleagues so much so, that if the owner of the restaurant knew; I'd be on payroll. I have sent a lot of business to Rama Thai; including my business. The way that the staff made me feel today. The way that the staff appeared to could have cared less. The way that the staff were laughing loudly in the kitchen while I stood there waiting on the part of my order like something about the situation was cute. In conclusion, I don't believe that I will be spending anymore of my money at Rama Thai. I definitely will not be recommending this restaurant to people that I know. I am so disappointed with the treatment I received on this day. read more

This place is a gem. Hidden in a neighborhood right off a Main Street. Easy to find. Very nice staff and food was on point. Perfect pad Thai. Great ambiance. Great service. Great food. We will for sure be back and we were seated immediately. read more

Visiting from out of town --- Good: Cutest place in the world being in an old antique house, awesome concept. Waitresses are dolls -- so polite & on top of refills and everything... Bad: Food sucked-- we did lunch -- sesame chicken was super rubber tasting, with the batter coating having no crunch or anything... like super crappy chinese food bad. Other dish was curry, which was leaps better than my dish... wish I would have gotten that instead. Spring rolls were good! No meat style--- Overall - place needs upgrade on quality of food, which ruins the concept overall. A one and done type place for us on a revisit. #honestReview read more

Rama Thai - Sesame Chicken -- terrible... - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Very disappointed. My favorite Thai restaurant doesn't deliver but I really wanted Thai curry to help me through this terrible day. I came across Rama Thai and got excited. The reviews were good and their photos looked spot on. I ordered the red curry w/chicken, eggplant w/chicken and crab rangoons... The red curry was the most disappointing. It had no flavor and a weird smell to it. I'm not judging the smell! Different coconut milks have different fragrances.. but if you're picky with the way your food smells then I'd suggest moving past this all together. There was also no spice, nor option to make it spicy. Traditional Thai food is medium/hot. I understand people here may not enjoy spicy foods but the option to make it spicy would've been extremely appreciated. Now onto my eggplant. Flavor was good but I got maybe 3 pieces of eggplant.. normally when a dish is based around something they give you more than 3 pieces. Last but not least, their crab rangoons. Um... well it was a good RANGOON. No crab to be seen. The sauce was also a bit odd. I did enjoy it however. If you're looking for a phenomenal Thai restaurant, check out Everyday Thai. Their food is delicious, their portions are good and their service is even better. read more

Food was delicious! Only tried because Thailand station is closed on Sunday and it may be my new favorite! We sat outside on the patio. Great service too! read more

Two days after dining here and I am still thinking about the mango chicken dish. It was simple but very delicious. The dish was recommended to me by my very friendly host/ server. Honestly, he would not stop being friendly. I liked it though. The restaurant is in a two story house and it gave a feel of eating in a bed and breakfast. I was apprehensive at first because it is situated in a residential neighborhood, not a lot of other restaurants nearby. But, I am so happy that I stopped by to dine. read more

Rama Thai - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Probably a 3.5 that gets pushed to a 4 because of the great setting. What can I say, I love eating in converted houses, and this one is a lovely one. It includes a nice patio area, and is nestled right in the middle of a neighborhood. I had the Pad Thai, which was a solid effort. Chicken was tender and flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I had it at level 2 spice, which gave it a touch of heat. While I've certainly had better pad Thai, I would be hard pressed to think of an atmosphere I enjoyed more. My co-worker had the chicken three ways and enjoyed it as well. If you enjoy Thai food, you'll be glad you came. If you haven't tried much of it, I think here would be a great choice to start. read more

Rama Thai - Pad Thai with chicken. Flavorful. - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Ordered on their own website for a pickup order. Arrived a few minutes early and they had difficulty locating order, but after a few minutes food came out. Ordered starter chicken satay which I was excited for, I love my satay sauce, however they forgot the satay sauce so I was just left with dry chicken skewers. Tom yum soup was good, little chunkier than I'm used to but was nice and spicy. Thai fried rice was not my favorite, chicken pieces were too big, like the ones in the soup, a little more attention to knife work would be great. Also asked for it to be medium heat and there was none. Some hits and some misses on this visit. read more

We loved the ambiance-- lots of character-- sat in the outside patio area. Service was also good. But we were disappointed-- The food wasn't bad, but it also wasn't that great.... The massamans that I ordered just didn't even begin to compare with what I've had at other restaurants. The reviews from the other members of my party were similar... just a "meh". read more

Food is authentic and delicious. Service is friendly and helped recommend choices. The location is a transformed house and the style is super cute. read more

The food is great, authentic, tasty food! The prices are awesome compared to other authentic Thai restaurants. I recommend going for lunch because the portions are just as big as dinner and so cheap! My favorite dish is the red curry or panang curry. The only down side is their curry is not as flavorful and a little sweeter than most places. But still pretty good, I just can't eat as much of it. read more

Rama Thai - Red curry lunch portion - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

This place is not much to look at from the outside, however, the food was delicious! Would go back again if ever in the area.

Ordered pork egg rolls and panang curry, medium heat. Egg rolls came to me cold same time the curry came out (was supposed to be an appetizer, but whatever). They took them back and I watched the lady jamb her finger into one to see if it was cold while she headed back to the kitchen. They can back and were the same ones that both me and the lady jammed our fingers in to test the temperature, but they were definitely cooked- to a crisp. The curry was oily and really didn't have much flavor. It was also EXRREMELY oily for a curry. Maybe this was a bad night, but it was gross. I ate the chicken and some of the vegetables, but the curry just wasn't tasty at all. I was hungry after working all day and this sure was a disappointment tonite. read more

We ordered 3 items. Paneng, stir fried rice with pineapple and Pad Thai. The Paneng (sp) came out more like Red Curry than with any peanut flavor. We were a little disappointed. The Stir fry was pretty good. The Pad Thai was also pretty good. We have been to lots and lots of Thai places and in spite of our enthusiastic hope for a super-doooer restaurant, it just was not. Maybe it was an off day for them. The staff were all great! So, not sure what happened that day. Give them a try and see if it suits your palate. read more

First time here when family came into town and wanted Thai. Like how the house has been converted to function as a restaurant. Plenty of staff to provide good service. We made a reservation as we had a party of seven and a toddler. Worked out well as we were in our own room which gave the little one more room to move around and make noise. Had several appetizers to share and the crab rangoons were the best I have ever had. Spring rolls we ok. I had the Pad Thai beef with a spice level of 4. It was not as spicy as I predicted but it was great texture and flavor. We will return. read more

Ever since moving close to downtown, Rama Thai has become a frequent visit for my family! We probably come here one or more times a week. They can get busy on the weekends, but usually the wait is very short. We always opt to sit on the patio, it is so cute with the lights and has the best vibe. We always start with an order of the fresh spring rolls, they have the best sweet fish sauce and amazing peanut sauce! My mom loves their pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp and my dad enjoys the masaman curry. My two favorites are the yellow curry and the drunken noodles! All of the portions are large, we usually have enough for lunch the next day. The take out containers are plastic and reusable which I love. The food is always fast to come out and all of our servers have always been so kind and helpful. This is truly one of the best restaurants in the area! read more

I have eaten her two times. I definitely think their food is awesome. Their service is so nice. The people working here are over the top friendly I stopped in the other day with my son for lunch. Their lunch specials on his lunch menu is great. I thought the prices were really good for a fast lunch. Their service was super speedy and the food was straight out of the kitchen hot. They have really good food and a lot of options. I also ate here in the summer one time but we ate outside. Unfortunately the season wasn't great with regards to bugs, so that was a little irritating and I probably would eat inside if we did that over again. But the food again was awesome. I do like this place and intend to go here again. read more

This place is a keeper for sure. The location was absolutely beautiful, the staff were professional, quick, and kind. The prices were very reasonable. All and all this is going on a list of favorites for me!! read more

So it's really tough to find good Thai food when on business trips. After searching Yelp , I found this place. It was rated at 4 stars. As I got closer to the restauarant, I noticed that I was driving through a residential neighborhood. I was puzzled cuz then I thought my navigation app was steering me wrong. But no, lo and behold, there Rama Thai was. There is a big sign on the front lawn of a 2 story house. There's a picket fence in front and you have to go from the sidewalk, through the walkway, to the front entrance of a house. Once inside, there is a hostess stand and to the right, there is a table that has various Thai scarves for sale. One of the waiters greeted me and proceeded to take me upstairs to my table. My table was situated in what looks to be a living or family room upstairs. Interesting decor. There have been some modifications done to turn the interior of this house into a restaurant but it's not too weird. There looks to be a small bar to the left as soon as you walk in the front entrance. I ordered the satay chicken skewers for an appetizer and the crab fried rice. I was torn between getting Pad See Ew or Crab Fried rice, but my craving for fried rice at the time won out. To wash it down, I had a glass of ice water but I also ordered a Thai iced coffee. I didn't have to wait too long for the satay chicken skewers. The order comes with five skewers. They had decent flavor and came with a small cucumber salad thingie and some peanut sauce. The chicken was moist and not over cooked. Nothing spectacular but tasty nonetheless. My Crab Fried Rice arrived soon after the appetizer. The menu stated that it is cooked with real crab. The small clump of crab is served atop the fried rice. It's not mixed throughout. I liked the fried rice as it was seasoned well and cooked with the requisite Thai Jasmine rice. It was a decent-sized portion but after scarfing down the skewers, I wasn't able to finish off the fried rice. I took a little more than half of the order back to my hotel for a night cap. The iced coffee was good. Not as strong as I'm accustomed to but thankfully not too sweet. The restaurant has a nice homey atmosphere to it because it's in a converted 2 story house. The wait staff were nice, the restaurant was clean albeit the interior was old, and the food was pretty good. In a pinch, if my work travels bring me back to Springfield, I'll come back here again. I'd give this place a 3.5 stars if I could. read more

The food is not that great, maybe it's OK for people who live here in Springfield, but I have tasted Thai food from many restaurants around the United States, and this one is like at one star, flavor, wise, one star, presentation, watery food, vegetables are all dead, overcooked, I asked for extra basil and got three leaves, I asked for extra garlic, None was added. The food taste like soy sauce and sugar. read more

Good food and nice ambiance. Nice outdoor seating. Indoor, more ventilation needed.

The chicken green curry was tasty. Rick coconut sauce, a little thinner than I like, but had a good depth of flavor. They only really used carrots, green peppers and bamboo shoots for veggies. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly! The rice was perfectly done. I was surprised how mild the 3 was (heat levels 1-4) I'll be back for sure. read more

I have been here probably 6 times and WOW this place delivers every single time. So so good. Also, I really like the vibe of this place. EAT LOCAL. The only reason I am giving this a four star rating is because the hours are kind of weird. read more

Amazing food! Friendly service. Cool vibe. 100 out of 100! We had pad kee mow, yellow curry and pad see ew. All very yummy. Crab Rangoons and Pot Stickers were delish. read more

Very Americanized Thai food, not a lot of flavor. It tasted like watery noodles, the noodle dish I ordered. Very little sauce and uninteresting in pretty much every way. In general from the property to the meal it seemed very much just throw together. I like family owned small businesses so that's a plus for them. It also is a little overprice and maybe Suitable for blue collar business people, that want a quick fix. And wouldn't be looking for quality. On a quick lunch break. read more

I LOVE their Rama sampler, as has a fresh handmade spring roll w peanut sauce along with the usual assortment of crab rangoon, shrimp roll (amazing) and eggroll. Tom Yum along with Tom kha soups are good, comfort. My fave entree is the Pad Kew Mow or drunken noodles adding shrimp or tofu, making a delish meal w a hint of basil-fabulous. Not a huge fan of the curry as hit or miss, and some of the other dishes can be the same, but always a tasty treat to be had when opting to dine at Rama. . read more

Wife reviewed this restaurant for lunch. First this establishment is in a neighborhood and was an old house converted to a restaurant. Parking is limited, but not that bad, Pad Thai (chicken and tofo) and Chicken Satay are amazing, Thai tea and Jasmine tea are great, and the atmosphere is comforting with the friendly staff with light music in the background. Strongly recommend to get Pad Thai! read more

Service wasn't great. Felt like I was an inconvenience to my server. Food lacked seasoning which made it bland.

Been here several times and it's pretty popular among my coworkers. The service is amazing, the lady is always so sweet. The food is very fresh- we've had the crab ragoon, pad see ew, drunken noodles, Thai tea, and the sampler. Everything very tasty! They have a nice outdoor patio we enjoy our food on, we'll keep coming read more

Rama Thai - Actual restaurant facade - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

If I'm not mistaken, this originated as a little Thai restaurant on the SE corner of Glenstone & Division which became popular, then suddenly disappeared only to pop up in the MSU campus area. Of course, my memory may fail me but the taste of their Pad Thai doesn't... The surroundings are pleasant though not reflective of Bangkok. The service isn't particularly effervescent yet purposeful as they have a job to do & do it well. Typically, I'm an adventurous spirit when it comes to menus, but when it comes to Thai food, I'm fixated on Pad Thai...and RT's is the best I've had in Springfield...so far. While my wife loves to comingle appetizers: Crab Rangoon, Spring Rolls, or Satay, which she'll share, but usually has either the Thai fried rice or variation thereof or fried pot stickers for an entre. There are other Thai restaurants in town that might have one slightly better appetizer or dish than RT but no one beats their Pad Thai...hands down, bar none. I highly recommend this Rama Thai and hope you're more adventurous than I. read more

Great Tai place amazing food and service. We had to try a little bit of everything.
