    I had takeout with a friend. I had the papaya salad and the veg fried rice. The food was good, not great or any different from upscale Asian foods you can find in St. Louis. I would go back to eat in or get takeout. The parking is good, the restaurant is small and noisy. People are having a good time Seemingly, the staff was great.

    Food was yummy! Would go back to try more. Service was very attentive. Expect a long wait

    Drunken noodles with pork
    Erie E.

    They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside. I tried the spring rolls, sticky rice, drunken noodles with pork and a drink (but I don't remember which one) Everything was really good, the drink was a little sweeter than I would've liked it to be but still good. Our server was really nice. We requested if one of the soups could be made a lot milder because my aunt couldn't handle the spice level (I guess she didn't realize it was a spicy soup) and they did it with no problem. Will definitely be back!

    Cry tiger salad  and the goyza app

    Really enjoyed our away from home Birthday meal for my hubby. He got the Cry Tigar salad and I got the Drunken noodles. The entrees are the winners. Appetizers were not very impressive. The local beer selection was awesome. Really likes the Banana Hefeweizen. Next door is a wine shop. Picked out a 6 pack of beer and ciders to go. Tip top day! Thank you!!

    Wow, TeeRak Thai Restaurant is the real deal. I just tried this restaurant yesterday and already anticipating going back. The food was packed with bold, vibrant flavors. I ordered the khao soi and it was phenomenal. I loved the combination of soft noodles in the soup, crunchy noodles on top, tangy acidity in the broth, perfectly balanced spice level, and the crunchy pickled mustard greens. I only wish they put this dish in a bigger bowl because I felt like I had to be extremely careful digging into it; otherwise I might spill or drop something. My friend got the Massaman curry and a cup of tom kha, and both were just as rich, comforting, and delicious. We also each got a Thai tea, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness without being overly sugary. I think this might be my new favorite Thai restaurant in St. Louis. I highly recommend if you're craving authentic Thai food. I will surely be back to try more items on the menu!

    Tom Kha (cup)

    Stopped by TeeRak for lunch and honestly really enjoyed it. We ordered chicken satay, moo ping, som tum, tom yum, tom kha, pad thai with chicken, and gaeng hung lay. Everything tasted fresh and had good balance -- nothing overly sweet or heavy like some Thai places can be. The gaeng hung lay was probably my favorite. Really rich flavor and the pork was super tender. Not something you see everywhere and definitely worth trying. Som tum was crisp and bright with a nice lime kick. Chicken satay was juicy and the peanut sauce was thick and flavorful. Moo ping had a nice grilled flavor and was simple but really good. Both soups were solid -- tom kha creamy and comforting, tom yum more tangy and herbal. Pad thai was good too -- noodles had a nice texture and it wasn't overly saucy. The space is casual and comfortable, and there's a cool elephant mural on the wall that gives the place some personality. Overall just a really solid Thai spot. I'd come back, especially for the hung lay and papaya salad.

    Pad See Ew with Tofu
    Christina Z.

    The hostess and server were very kind and helpful when we arrived, and we loved the vibrant decor inside. The umbrellas were a nice touch! We both got noodle dishes: the drunken noodles and the pad see ew. The drunken noodles had a good amount of garlic and flavor. The spice level two wasn't too much for us and added a nice balance with the sweet and garlicky sauce. I usually order the pad see ew whenever I get Thai so I was surprised that there wasn't that much broccoli in the dish. I think more would've helped break up the texture and diversify bites. We'll definitely be back!

    Tee Rak Thai is the story you love to see. Starting at the farmers market and growing into a storefront. The drunken noodles with shrimp are a must. So much flavor and comforting. Somehow, it's impossible to stop eating even when you're already full. It still has that small business charm. Great outdoor and indoor seating!

    Moo ping served with sticky rice.
    Andrew S.

    Very busy when we went, but a table had just exited one of the outdoor tables when we arrived and the server was very accommodating in letting us have that table after immediately clearing it. The service here is very efficient. The outdoor seating reminded me very much of European cafes. The indoor looked well set up and the bathroom was nice. Now on to the food. We had the fried tofu and moo ping. Both were very good. The moo ping was especially tender. The fried tofu was good with a crispy texture on the outside and nice creaminess inside. The fried tofu isn't an appetizer I'd normally order, but we owed our friends a dinner so we let them pick the apps. That being said, I'm glad they ordered it as it was a really good version of it that was served with two sauces that helped cut the blandness of the unadulterated tofu. Still not sure I would order it but I was definitely happy to try it and see why they like ordering it. My crispy pork salad was perfectly cooked. The textural variance of the pork belly being crispy and crunchy on the outside while being melt-in-your-mouth on the inside will have me ordering it every time this special is offered during the warmer months. The cucumbers and greens helped cool down the spices used although it was not very hot to begin with. The som tum was another delectable bite and followed a similar spice pattern. There is not a whole lot of spice in one bite, but it does build with repeated consumption. Similar thing could be said of my wife's Crying Tiger Beef. Her chilled beef dish was expertly crafted. The tenderness that the chef produced from the cut was amazing especially considering it had to be cooled down after cooking. Granted the citrus juice assisted in that endeavor but the chef had to also hit a narrow window of doneness to achieve this feat of subliminal gastronomy. We will be back and it is on our short list.

    Fried rice with shrimp, spring rolls, and the drink- farang
    Chrissy E.

    This was on my list of places to try for a while and since the other restaurant I was originally going to wasn't open, I figured why not? I was greeted warmly upon entering and while I was initially sat close to the door, they let me switch tables so I wouldn't feel the draft of each person coming in. The place was decorated beautifully with murals of all things Stl covering the walls. I was promptly given water and asked if I was ready to order. After a few mins, I went with the spring roll for an appetizer and the fried rice with shrimp. Drink wise, I went with the farang. While it wasn't packed per se, there were more people than I was expecting to see. Nevertheless, that didn't deter from providing excellent service. While I was hoping to have my spring rolls out before my entree, everything was brought out at once. I couldn't wait to dig into the spring rolls but after the first bite, I noticed they were extremely hot. Will def let them cool down first for next time. The fried rice was excellent. I ended up adding a little bit of soy sauce but that was all it needed. Although the shrimp was bigger than expected, I wish I could have gotten more than 5 pieces. The drink was pretty good but I couldn't quite put my finger on what I was actually tasting. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. Moving forward, I guess I need to specify that I want the appetizer before the entree, but I would assume that'd be common knowledge. Additionally, I didn't realize that adding a protein to the rice is an additional charge, as most places include a protein with it.

    A must-visit for the service alone! Atmosphere: Quaint, visually stimulating, and very clean. The decor and music create a peaceful, trendy vibe. Parking: Plenty of free street parking, but limited accessibility/handicap options. Service: 10/10. The staff turns tables fast but never makes you feel rushed. My waitress was phenomenal, she took the time to explain the menu and went above and beyond when my dish was a bit too spicy for me. The Food: My curry arrived quickly! It was a bit spicier than I usually prefer, but the server brought me an orange drink (Thai tea) to help cool it down without me even asking.

    Spicy thai!!!! A long time favorite finally has a store front and they absolutely nailed it. Perfect location with vibrant, whimsical vibe that is just as flavorful as the dishes they serve. A long time gripe I have had with thai food is even the spiciest level is not spicy enough, tee rak brings some serious spice! I got the pad kra pow(i think) which was ground chicken in a savory sauce and rice to pair. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and amazing thai spice. The thai basil shines through offering an herbal complexity thag cuts through the savory garlic. I ordered take out so I only had some brief interactions with workers, but they were all super nice. Bright smiles, infectious energy, great attitude! A short drive from me this is going to be a serious contender for my de facto take out spot all of 2026

    Pad Thai and Mazaman Curry
    Lisa G.

    Loved the food at Tee Rak! We had dinner there tonight where we tried the Mazaman Curry, Yellow Curry, Pad Thai and Tom Kha. Everything was delicious. Probably the best Pad Thai I have ever had. I love what they have done with the place. Lots of color and some beautiful murals. Our server was very attentive. Get there early as a line had developed by the time we left.

It's one of their most popular dishes for good reason, and it was one of the first plates to disappear. The pad see ew was good but lacked a little for me. Tip: go for spice level four. We ordered everything at level three, and it leaned on the milder side. We also tried the tom yum soup with seafood, which was solid, just not my personal favorite.

I overheard they were increasing the kitchen size so maybe that is what they need, I have been in when it was busy in the dining room before but the amount of people coming in for takeout was crazy! The Miso soup was really good; I love soup even on a hot day! It had pieces of seaweed and cubes of tofu, and the flavor was deep and full of umami. The drunken noodle dish is always good; I love the veggies in it so much I am thinking when I go back I might skip the chicken altogether! Can't wait to see what the renovations bring!

They had 2 wait staff working when we went and both greeted us immediately and seated us inside. Their air conditioning was broken and awaiting repair and they had signs throughout explaining that. It was still cooler inside than out so we sat inside. I was curious what a butterfly lemonade was so I ordered one. It was good and quite refreshing with traditional lemonade at the bottom topped with a vibrant deep purple concoction on top. After I educated myself, I found that the deep purple concoction is steeped tea made from butterfly pea flowers. We started with some egg rolls - fried with ground pork and vegetables and served with sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was great! I normally pass as most of them have a cloyingly sweet flavor that I don't like but theirs had a really good balance of flavors amd not too sweet. The egg rolls were flavorful enough to stand on their own though and yes, delivered piping hot to the table. I had the drunken noodles with beef at medium spicy level. At first bite, I was immediately able to taste the spicy level I chose. A great sign. Then I sniffed and started sweating. Another great sign of good spice level. My husband ordered the yellow curry with tofu and medium spice level as well. At first he said it could be hotter but then midway through he decided it was more of a build up and thought the level was actually perfect. Serving size was great. You can definitely get another meal out of an order! We took the rest of our food home. I cannot wait to eat my leftovers today. What a great spot for a delicious, quick dinner!

    An amazing, authentic spot to experience Thai cuisine!…read more Everything was on point here - the food, service, atmosphere, and even the music. Every part of the experience deserves its own shoutout! My husband and I ordered two Tom Yum soups with tofu, steamed dumplings, drunken noodles with beef, and the mango sticky rice with coconut syrup for dessert. First of all, even if you LOVE spicy food (and my husband and I eat spicy food all the time), do NOT take a chance and order the spicy level! We got medium, and we were literally crying. Even for us, it was way too spicy. If you don't normally eat spicy food, I would honestly be careful even with mild. That being said, the dishes were incredibly flavorful. This isn't the kind of spicy food where all you can taste is heat. The flavors were rich, complex, and the portions were filling. The portion sizes were actually perfect for trying several different dishes without completely stuffing yourself, which happens so often at American restaurants. You come here for the atmosphere and the flavors, not giant portions. And you absolutely HAVE to try the dessert! The mango sticky rice was so soft and delicious, with sweet coconut syrup and pieces of coconut. One bite and I felt like I was back in Asia. There was calm, relaxing music playing in the background, and our server checked on us when needed without being overly attentive or constantly interrupting us. Exactly the kind of service I appreciate. The only tricky part is parking. There isn't really parking right next to the restaurant, so we parked at a nearby hotel and walked over. Overall, I absolutely recommend this place if if you want authentic Thai food and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

I could see this place working for a date, dinner with friends or a business meeting. Our server explained everything clearly and was there when needed, without constantly interrupting.

Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Thanks to the team for a lovely dinner. I'd love to come back.

The service was attentive and friendly. I needed a phone charge at the staff was kind enough to plug my phone at the counter and keep an eye on it. The food was a different twist on what we expected. We sampled their Thai Stix, which relate to a crab Rangoon, but the nicely melted cream cheese is flavored with kankimama and scallions. They are a bit messy, but worth it. Their Hoy Jaw are deep fried dumplings of shrimp, crab and mixed pork, deep fried with a crunchy texture. Both of these small plates come with a bright sweet chili sauce. The chicken satay were tender, moist and came with a peanut sauce that was the perfect blend between almost peanut butter and being too runny. For me, the best part of the meal was the Hung Lay Curry. The dish combines pork belly and pork shoulder, perfect cooked and tender in a curry that includes palm sugar, turmeric, peanuts, and fresh ginger. The curry is not dominated by curry powder, and has a rich, satisfying flavor that can be compared to a rich ramen broth. Spoon the sauce over the rice to let the flavors soak in. For those who think curry is spicy, this dish is not. Instead, it has the comfort food vibe that is a unique for me in eating Thai food.

It was moderately busy but was completely packed by the time we left. The space is small but they make it work, and the menu is nice and simple. I did run into a hiccup ordering.

I clarified it was the chili, and he left, then came back again to tell me they actually couldn't remove it since it's mixed into the sauce. So I switched to a different random dish that didn't have chili in the name, hoping that would solve it. Because of the mix up, my food came out a good ten minutes after everyone else's, but by that point I was hungry enough not to care. I ended up with a stir fry with rice on the side which was pretty flavorful and I finished it because I was starving. My friends got the curry and pad thai and both cleaned their plates, so those seemed like good picks too. I loved the hanging plants inside.

I wanted to grab a few items for lunch, and I love having some Thai street food, which equates to appetizers at most Thai restaurants, so I ordered a few apps. They were not good. 1. Fried Calamari - it was soaked in oil and not pleasant to eat. 2. Chicken Satay - bland and dry AF, and the peanut dipping sauce, meant to compliment it, was soupy and bland. 3. Grilled Pork (Moo Ping) - was ok. Probably, the only item that saved it from a 1-star. 4. Spring Rolls (Egg Roll) - I didn't know fried food could be so bland. I needed to soak it in the sweet chili dipping sauce to even eat it. 5. Sticky Rice - it was fine. I mean, this item is hard to mess up. All above for 90+ US dollars. That's about 2700+ Thai Baht! When street food items in Thailand costs between 30-100 Thai Baht, because it's meant to be accessible to everyone. Anyhow, I digress, everything fried was drenched in cooking oil, and mind you I did not get any main entrees, so maybe I'm wrong about their food? But if the appetizers are a bit sub par, who's to say how their main dishes would taste.
