    2 Thai teas
    Winnie H.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Pad see ew with tofu
    Kyli P.

    So glad we were finally able to stop in!! I live right around the corner and am so glad we have another great local restaurant to support. I also work remotely some days & was very excited to hear they are open for lunch hours now! Now for the review -- We arrived at 5pm on a very busy Friday night and luckily snagged one of the last tables available-- FYI, make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee you get a seat! We started with the vegetable potstickers which were crunchy, flavorful, and the chili dipping sauce was OUTSTANDING. Not sure how I'll ever be able to try another appetizer knowing how much I loved this one. For mains, I opted for Pad See Ew with tofu as my protein. Pad See Ew is my thai go-to, and this is by far the best I've had in St. Louis. The portion size was so generous I even had leftovers to take home & they heated up very well for lunch the next day! My partner went for Khao Soi curry which came with a chicken leg quarter, noodles, pickled cabbage, red onion, chili oil, and crunchy fried noodles on top. This was outside his comfort zone but he is so glad he tried it! He cleaned his whole plate and could not stop raving about all the different texture & flavor combinations he could make with the toppings in the bowl. The staff was very polite, gave us recommendations since it was our first time in, and made the experience very enjoyable. Cannot recommend Tee Rak enough if you can get a reservation! We will definitely be back to continue trying more dishes on the menu that caught our attention.

    Drunken noodles with steak and shrimp
    Alisha V.

    The food here was good but nothing I would rave about. The Khao soi was good but the chicken and all the bones were inside of the soup so you had to pull the chicken out covered in soup and try to tear it apart and then shove it back in the bowl. There was no plate to cut the chicken on so I had to use my friends's plate. I thought that the chicken wings were excellent and the drunken noodles were ok but the noodles were too thick for my preference. Overall, it was good, but if I went back, I would try something different than the entrees that we got.

    Spring Rolls - Starter
    Abigail R.

    This has been one of my favorite Farmer Market finds and they now have their very own brick and mortar! The space is beautiful! We came in on a Monday at around 6:30 pm and there was a bit of a wait because it was the official opening night. We were quoted 20-30 minutes and decided to just take a stroll while we waited. It was definitely worth the wait. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We ordered Thai Tea (loved!), a Coke, Spring Rolls, Pad See Ew with Chicken, and Green Curry with Tofu. My partner went mild for his Pad See Ew and I opted for Medium. Everything was delicious and the medium spice was perfect for me. We will be back to try more of their dishes!

    Chicken Curry
    Dani C.

    This place is amazing and by far, the best Thai restaurant in stl. The space is so cute, friendly and helpful servers. The food was 1000/10. It was delicious. I highly recommend if you are a fan of Thai. Let me help you find your favorite Thai spot in STL city!

    Wings - delishousness
    Keith J.

    Tee Rak Restaurant has some of the best Thai dish that is my favorite called drunken noodles and are maybe the best that I've ever ate. They were so good that I went back twice in one week and tried them with a different protein. The first time was with shrimp and the second time with chicken and my gosh, it was killer.I want to go back and try other dishes, but it'll be hard to not order more of those delicious drunken noodles, I just wished I lived closer to the city since I would be a regular there. For appetizers I'd recommend the wings and spring rolls as well, they're amazing. It's a nice little space and has very good and friendly service. I'm looking forward to more visits.

    Tom Yum Noodle
    Heta R.

    After four visits, Teerak Thai has quietly become one of our neighborhood staples -- helped in no small part by the fact that it's just a seven-minute walk from our home. But convenience alone doesn't earn repeat visits; the food does. My husband and I have worked our way through a good portion of the menu: drunken noodles, pad kra pao, Thai fried rice, pad thai, cashew nut chicken, tom kha soup, potstickers, Teerak wings, chicken satay, green curry, yellow curry, and khao soi. At this point, finishing the entire menu feels like a personal mission. The standout dish for me is unquestionably the green curry. Ordered Thai spicy with shrimp, it strikes that ideal balance of richness, heat, and fragrant depth that makes Thai curry so addictive. It's the dish I keep thinking about long after the meal ends. A close second is the Thai fried rice with shrimp--simple, comforting, and deeply satisfying. My husband, meanwhile, remains loyal to the drunken noodles, which he's ordered more than once. The pad kra pao with ground chicken also deserves mention for its bold character--you can clearly taste the punchy Thai basil, which gives the dish its distinctive aroma and flavor. Among appetizers, the potstickers were the clear winner: crisp, flavorful, and well executed. The Teerak wings were decent but not particularly memorable, and while the chicken satay itself was underwhelming, the peanut sauce served alongside it was excellent. The tom kha soup landed somewhere in the middle--pleasant but not remarkable. If you're in the mood for something hearty and comforting, the khao soi is worth ordering. Served with a beautifully cooked chicken leg and egg noodles in a rich curry broth, it's deeply satisfying and full of warm, layered flavor. The drink program is solid as well, with well-made cocktails and a respectable selection of beer and wine. All in all, Teerak Thai is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that keeps you coming back--not just for proximity, but for the dependable flavors and the pleasure of slowly discovering the menu, one dish at a time.

    I've tried a couple of different restaurants in STL but I keep finding myself coming back to Meyou…read more There's something about the Pad Thai (call me basic) and Drunken Noodles that reminds me of sitting in the busy streets of Bangkok. I usually always get take out although I've dined in a couple of times and have always received the best service. The menu is straightforward and has a variety of the staples - from curries, noodles, rice dishes and more. You're allowed to pick from a variety of spice levels which is nice! The street is sorta busy so I usually park near the McDonalds for pickup as it takes only 10-15 minutes for the order to be ready. Highly recommend! Food: 9/10 Price: 10/10 Service: 10/10

    Apparently, some Chinese restaurants have a policy where they give you free egg rolls if you're a…read moreparty of six. I get that this is a Thai restaurant, not Chinese (though it's more Chinese than I am), but Meyou might consider such a policy. I would have benefited from it yesterday. I visited on a Wednesday evening with members of a running group. There were umpteen of us. If we'd been given a single egg roll appetizer, we would have been forced to cut it in tiny pieces and share. I would have been willing to do that, because I'm a confirmed, avowed savage. My reputation precedes me. Arguably, they should give you one free appetizer for every six members of your party. But I digress. Now, where was I? Ah yes, Meyou. I'd describe this place as a somewhat Americanized version of Thai food, based on what little I know from having recently visited Bangkok and eaten in roughly 40 or 50 restaurants, food stalls and what have you over the course of a few days, i.e. not a whole lot. You can get pad thai and various other soups, noodles and curries, along with fried rice, egg rolls, crab rangoon and chicken wings. It's got a little something for everyone. Do they charge you $0.25 for extra soy sauce? Can you call up and try to harangue them into giving you a free order of crab rangoon by claiming that they shorted you the last time you were there, knowing good and well they can count better than you? I'm not sure. I might try that on my next visit and report back. This time, I went with something called Pad See Ew, which wasn't nearly as gross as its name suggests. In fact, it was good. Its description on the menu, with broccoli, eggs and soy sauce, called to mind various things I might order from a Chinese takeout--which is what I tend to look for in a menu item. As a noodle dish, I figured the overall flavor profile might not be different from a lo mein lunch special I used to get decades ago, that I still fondly reminisce about on a weekly basis. I wasn't that far off from the mark. They let you choose the spice level, ranging from mild to hot. I usually get hot in most places, but I'm hesitant to do that at Asian restaurants, because they might have access to peppers that are technically considered research chemicals, like Temu Ozempic, and therefore not subject to FDA approval. There were a few girls there, and I didn't want to run the risk of my throat starting to close up. I'd have to find a new run group. Medium turned out to be just right for me, but maybe too spicy if you're expecting something along the lines of a buffalo wing. Even the mild, apparently, has a bit of a kick to it. The noodles were nice and slippery and cooked a touch beyond al dente, right in that Goldilocks zone between undercooked and mush. The heat, and the complexity provided by whatever they use to season this, helped offset the underlying sweetness. You get your choice of meat. No Diddy. I went with pork, natch, with apologies to the Honorable Minister. The amount they give you is surprisingly generous, except that this dish will run you. I'm talking modern-day Chipotle prices. Maybe a dollar or two more. Yikes! But I'd argue that the quality justifies it. If I lived nearby, and I had the means, I'd stop by on occasion.

    This is the BEST restaurant that I've been to in STL so far!!…read more First, the service was absolutely wonderful. Our server was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive to our table. The food was purely amazing: - The Sake Sashimi was absolute chef's kiss (rate: 10/10). The fresh sashimi in the ginger mint sauce left us speechless, the salsa gave a fresh and fruity burst of flavor, and even the fried chips on top had a ton of flavor! - The Isaan Hamachi (rate: 9.5/10) was also a must! I first tried the candied garlic on top, and it was truly sweet with only a hint of garlic. The yellowtail was also super fresh, and the coconut sauce brought out even more flavor from the yellowtail (and masked any fishy taste)! - The Massachusetts Scallops (rate: 9.5/10) was one of the best scallops I've ever had. Topped with crab and combined with the pea puree, everything complemented each other so well. There were only two scallops, but they were large and super filling. - The Shrimp Toasts had layers and layers of flavor (rate: 9/10)! The shrimp was inside of the toast, creating a super umami flavor, and then the light and fruity topping and sauce, along with the thin slice of cucumber, truly made this a party in my mouth. - The Chili Garlic Noodles were super nutty and so good (rate: 8/10)! The noodles were slightly spicier than expected, but the spice was a quick burst of flavor, so the spice didn't overpower the dish at all. The noodles were mixed with vegetables and topped with a crunch - definitely make sure to mix before eating to get the different textures and flavors in each bite! We also got cocktails (Pretty in Pink & Sands in the Sun), and both were really yummy. Last, we got a dessert - homemade ice cream by the Sous Chef that day: soy ice cream with red bean!
