Wow! What a find in the Shaw neighborhood. This little gem has a great menu. Not too big, not too small but with great choices. We visited for a pre show dinner. The curry was spicy but just the right amount. The Pad Thai was sweetly flavored and very hearty. My favorite was the drunken noodles. Wonderful sauce and delicious wide noodles. Service was prompt. I recommend you make reservations as this place fills up fast. I appreciate that they stick too the basics and deliver a great meal. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Tee Rak - Inside - Thai Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

It was very good. The only issue was really not their fault. Their A/C was not working and the 6 of us were really warm. Their ceiling fans did not work either, and so a bit uncomfortable. The food came fast, hot and tasty. I was hoping the Penang would have had a thicker sauce, but still good. The service was really good too. It is a small place and glad we made reservations as we would not have otherwise sat together. So give them a try! read more

Great little neighborhood location... if I lived close by I'd be walking here very frequently, especially to try and find the quieter timings because it gets VERY LOUD inside the restaurant when busy... guess that's the price we have to pay sometimes for delicious food and cute locations... Service was great, waitstaff was attentive (if somewhat hard to hear at times)... Food was EXCELLENT! The Green Curry at mak, mak heat level was so flavorful and with a perfect amount of heat (I like spicy)... The Thai Fried Rice was tasty but though the menu indicates it should have Egg and Broccoli, neither were visible or tasted at all and there was spinach which is not even mentioned on the menu... My only real complaint is the seating process we experienced... I made a reservation weeks before and arrived 5 minutes early... the hostess pointed to a table in the corner and said that's to be your table and just waiting for them to finish so should be 5-10 minutes... we agreed that I would wait outside and she'd contact me when the table was ready... waited outside for 10 minutes and after seeing quite a large number of people leave during that time, decided to check back in with the hostess... it seemed that several tables had turned over to new walk-in guests during that 10 minutes (though we were the only ones waiting for our reservation that I could discern)... thankfully they were resetting a couple of tables up near the bar area and we were slotted into one of those but right in the middle of customer traffic to the bathrooms and waitstaff traffic to the drink cooler/place setting cabinets.... would have preferred the corner spot pointed to by the hostess when I first checked in... but, these things happen and the waitstaff and food quality helped reduce my dissatisfaction... we'll go back but I won't make the same mistake of leaving the hostess stand while waiting for a table... we'll try a different day of week and time of day as well when perhaps the noise level allows for an easier table conversation... read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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! read more

Tee Rak - Thai Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here on a weekend night with no reservation for a group of 3. Waited about 30 to 40 minutes, so we walked around the area and came back when we got the notification. One small thing that was a little annoying: right as we got the notification, a two person walk in came in right before us and they got seated first. Not a huge deal, but just a little frustrating when you've been waiting that long. Moving on though! The inside is really nicely decorated with all these fun decorations around. Our waiter was friendly and the service was solid. For food we ordered a few things to share. The tofu pad Thai was on the sweeter side but really good. The wide noodle dish leaned saltier but still enjoyable. The standout for me though was the soup dish with mild spice and a really nice kick to it. One tip: eat everything with the rice that comes with it. It helps balance out the saltiness and spice from the different dishes. Also the portion sizes are big, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Would recommend, just maybe plan ahead and make a reservation if you're going on a weekend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Tee Rak - drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I was excited to have lunch here. I picked this place due to the proximity of work, support local small business and the price point for lunch was reasonable for me. When I got to the restaurant, it was charming, the aesthetic, was inviting and I was seated quickly. I ordered the Tom Yum Goong and Drunken Noodles with chicken. The Tom Yum soup was PHENOMENAL I need that like everyday. The Drunken Noodles was okay be aware its plain and you have to pay extra for whatever protein you choose. That was not explained and honestly im looking at the menu online (it is not noted anywhere on the online menu I am unsure if it is on the printed menu on the website). The noodles to me was on the sweeter side even after i stated that i wanted spice level 3 it was really mild and not spicy as i wanted. I would come back to try some of the curries that they have, and a few more dishes. The portions were substantial, I have enough noodles for lunch tomorrow. I will say this isnt my "favorite" place but I could see this could be a place for lunch if im having a "day." My lunch price after Drunken Noodles, Tom Yum Soup, and Ginger Ale was 37.00 after a tip. Pretty high for a lunch. The food was good but I can honestly say it was worth a 40 lunch price though. I understand that we have inflation right now but because of inflation I wouldn't go back as a normal lunch eatery for 40.00 read more

Delicious. Absolutely delicious! I hadn't made it to the restaurant because the lines were wild, yay for them, but hard to wait with a little one. But then I saw the take limited reservations so we grabbed one for Valentine's Day. They had high chairs available and they decorated the place with balloons. The staff were so friendly and brought over chocolates for our baby and then for us. It was hard to decide what to get, but I got the cashew chicken to try something new, my husband got the pad see ew, we got our little one chicken satay, and we split potstickers. Everything was amazing, made pretty quickly, and you definitely need to check them out! read more

We arrived @11:30 for lunch. We were seated and given menus. Then we were ignored. Short staffed. We finally had order taken and waited some more for food. Waited for check. The interior of the restaurant was nice. Food was good, service not good. Unfortunately I will not be back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is going to be our new favorite spot for Thai food. You can also catch them at the tower grove farmers market! read more

Came here because of the numerous reviews I've seen online raving about this place. So obviously, I had very high expectations coming in, and to be honest, I think they were met. We made a reservation a few days in advance and even then there weren't many open spots between five and seven so we had to get one for 7:45. Ambience was really cool with very unique atmosphere and the waitstaff were very nice. We ended up getting the drunken noodles, thai fried rice with shrimp, khao soi, and chicken satay. The standup dishes were definitely the drunken noodles and the thai fried rice. The drunken noodles came recommended across all social media platform, so I was not surprised. The noodles were the perfect amount of chewy, and the balance of flavors was near perfect. For the fried rice, the shrimp was perfectly cooked and was incredibly flavorful. The khao soi was rich and flavorful, and the crunchy noodles were the perfect textural contrast. I definitely think it could've been more spicy, but that was on me because I forgot to give them a spice level. I think the only dish that I wasn't super impressed by was the chicken satay. While the meat was slightly flavorful, it was a little bit dry and desperately needed the peanut sauce to make it taste good. Overall, the drunken noodles and the Thai fried rice were the standouts. The khao soi was really good, especially for being in St. Louis, but not the best I've ever had. I think overall this is probably the best Thai place I've been to within St. Louis so I was very satisfied. In conclusion, 4/5 stars, would come back. read more

After seeing this restaurant on many social media posts I was so excited when friends invited us to join them here for dinner. It is very small and cozy inside and the smell that hits you when you walk in the door feels like a warm hug. We made the mistake of not making a reservation, so we had an hour and a half wait (on a Friday night) but it was so worth it! We had amazing appetizers (potstickers, spring rolls and pork skewers), fun cocktails and some of THE MOST DELICIOUS food I have had in a long time. Our server Alvin was darling and very attentive. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant . read more

I often only review places where I've had a really good experience, so I give a lot of 5-star reviews. I'd like to give this place an 8 out of 5. Wow. Just wow. It opened up less than a month ago in the Shaw neighborhood. The place has literally been packed with a wait list since Day 1. The 5-star reviews are flying in. Social media is raving about the food, the owner, the staff, the art on the walls.... It's all true. We've been here twice thus far. Simply great food at reasonable prices and served with genuinely appreciative demeanor (albeit sometimes a little frazzled based on the pace of the place). We had the Tee Rak wings appetizers and Chicken Satay. Wings are huge; juicy; and full of flavor (and have some decent spice to them). Satay peanut sauce was so good and the 3 tenders were rather large. Entrees we've tried include: Mussman Curry, Larb Gai, and Tom Yum Noodles. All were excellent. My favorite was the Larb Gai (Thai Hot); I was more or less about to break a sweat by the end. My wife swears by the Mussman Curry; I may not get her to try anything else, she enjoys it that much. While they don't take reservations, you can call or drop in and put your name on a waiting list. There is a small bar at Tee Rak or you can go next door to Wild Olive Provisions (if they are open) for a drink beforehand. Gallery Pub is only about 2 block west as well. All easy ways to pass some time if you're a few names down on the list. read more

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. read more
